Muslim face veils: religious right, or security risk?

Full Face VeilAngela Shanahan | Saturday, 6 February 2010

In an opening article on this issue an Australian journalist says veils are a security risk in the West and should be banned in public.

The reports that a French parliamentary committee wants to ban the full face veil in certain circumstances has caused outrage among not only Muslims, but some respected Christian commentators as well. As an opinion writer who has closely followed issues of human rights and freedom of religion for The Australian newspaper, I too received a flurry of emails when the news broke.

One friend and colleague — the editor of Mercatornet, actually – seeking my opinion expressed his own: “To me, it seems crazy, a violation of freedoms, a victory for a certain brand of feminism, etc. But obviously, many respectable people take a different approach.”

Well, I am one of the “respectable” people to whom he refers (I hope). I do not agree with the wearing of a full face and body veil in the West. In these insecure times there are good reasons for banning it in government offices. (more…)

A powerful speech to the UN on Pro-Life

Dear family and friends in Christ,

Following is an amazing Pro-Life speech made by Congressman Chris Smith from the US at the UN General Assembly. Interestingly in 1998 while working with the American Government on legislation to protect Christians from getting persecuted in Saudi Arabia, Pr Daniel had the opportunity of spending time with this same Congressman. In his office the Lord spoke to Pr Daniel to start ‘Options + Care’, the Pregnancy Counselling Centre in Australia, after listening to this Congressman debate a bill in the US Congress to stop 7 months abortion.

Read the whole speech below as it is very interesting and informative.

Excerpts from a powerful speech – Chris Smith to the UN http://www.lifenews.com/int1465.html

“Safe abortion” is the ultimate oxymoron. Child dismemberment, forced premature expulsion from the safety of the womb, chemical poisoning or deliberate starvation-one of the chemicals in RU 486 actually denies nourishment to an unborn child– can never, ever be construed to be benign, compassionate or safe… (more…)

Good News! Same-sex “marriage” bill defeated!

Good news! Yesterday afternoon the Federal Senate soundly rejected Greens Senator Sarah Hanson-Young’s attempt to change the Marriage Act to include same-sex relationships.

Both the government and the Coalition opposed the Bill. The proposal lost 45 votes to five – this means 25 Senators did not vote. Only the five Greens Senators voted for the Bill – showing that they are more about radical social engineering than the environment.

The ‘Marriage Equality Bill’ was tabled by Hanson-Young last year and the Senate decided to send it to Committee. The Committee called for public submissions and a record number were received. Whilst there was considerable opposition a substantial number of submissions were supportive due to the growing activities and organisation of the homosexual lobby.

The Senate Committee rejected same-sex marriage but made two recommendations that we totally reject, including the formation of a national framework to rejecter same-sex and heterosexual relationships. and that the Australian government provide ‘certificates of non-impediment’ to homosexuals and lesbians wanting to get ‘married’ overseas.

Catch The Fire Ministries can Ordain Ministers of the Gospel / Pr Daniel

Catch The Fire MinistriesRev Dr Daniel NalliahDear family & friends in Christ,
 
It’s with great joy that I take this opportunity on behalf of the leadership and board of Catch The Fire Ministries to announce that the Australian Government has officially approved the Ordaining of Ministers of the Gospel for CTFM! 

Legally credentialing 5-Fold Ministers of the Gospel for equipping and edifying the Body of Christ (Ephesians 4:11-13) for extending the Kingdom of God has been a great desire in my heart for many years!
 
Although the process was quite lengthy, including providing much legal documentation, attending board meetings and other meetings, etc., it was certainly worth the challenging effort. In the past several years the Lord has been speaking to me about the desperate need for the restoration of the 5-Fold Ministry in the Body of Christ all over the world, and especially in Australia.  Over the years in Australia and around the world, most of the Church (in nearly every Mainline, Evangelical, Pentecostal, Charismatic Denomination, etc.) has been run primarily by the Ministry Gift / Office of the Pastor and has unfairly put a severe load, yoke, and burden on one particular Ministry Gift / Office, causing major personal breakdowns in marriages and families with many Pastors leaving their God-given call to Christian ministry and spiritual leadership in the Body of Christ. (Matthew 11:28-30)
 
Obeying the leadership of the Holy Spirit and the authority of the Word of God in Ephesians 4:11-13, Catch The Fire Ministries will be ordaining Christian Ministers of the Gospel to function under the anointing of the Holy Spirit in their respective 5-Fold Ministry Offices of Apostle, Prophet, Evangelist, Pastor and Teacher.  This New Testament Church Government model will inevitably reduce the overwhelming and unhealthy local church ministry load of the Office of Pastor, by appropriately distributing the spiritual leadership throughout the 5-Fold Ministry Gifts /Offices, thus restoring God’s biblical divine order and spiritual government to the Body of Christ.

Spirit of Intercession and Travail rocked CTFM in Melbourne / Prophetic Minister from Malaysia at CTFM this weekend

Holy Spirit hunger for Revival Fire in AustraliaPastor Julius leads in the Spirit of intercessory prayer and travailDear family & friends in Christ,

All glory to God for this past weekend of supernatural breakthrough as the Spirit of intercessory prayer and travail rocked the CTFM Apostolic Centre in Hallam, Melbourne!  

Pastor Julius, a humble servant of God from Kenya, Africa, ministered the anointed Word of God with a mighty impartation of the Spirit of revival fire, as the CTFM worship team opened the heavens through prophetic worship!  Pastor Julius, an apostolic prophetic minister who travels to many nations to rise up the Body of Christ in intercessory prayer for the nations, greatly inspired God’s army to rise up into their God-given calling and destiny to reclaim Australia for Jesus!

As Holy Spirit hungry people received the Word of the Lord, suddenly it seemed like rivers of living water were flowing out of the innermost being of God’s beloved children as they soaked in His manifest presence, which caused a powerful release of deep intercessory prayer and prophetic travail for the transformation of Australia! Many entered into real spiritual warfare prayer for the first time and prayed in tongues for hours, as many others receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit and prayed in tongues for the very first time!

The revival fire meetings went on for hours as everyone was absolutely drunk in the Spirit of God, with holy manifestations of weeping, laughing, and the gift of intercessory prayer for a unprecedented harvest of souls to be born-again, healed, delivered, and restored into the Kingdom of God. Much time was spent in intercessory repentance and corporate prayer for all churches and denominations to catch the Holy Spirit Fire of Revival!

Revival? What is missing? by Don Batten

Many Christians today are praying for revival, and that is good. But something else is needed.

Throughout history, revival occurred with the faithful preaching of righteousness, sin, and judgment. Elijah, faced with 450 prophets of Baal, challenged the people in black and white terms: ‘How long will you waver between two opinions? If the LORD is God, follow him: but if Baal is God, follow him’ (1 Kings 18:21).

The prophets to Israel and Judah detailed the people’s sins and called on them to repent. (more…)

Gold Coast – Salvations and miraculous healings of cancer / Exciting update on former satanist from Canberra now a radical follower of Jesus

Children / Teenagers receive JesusDear family & friends in Christ,

1) All glory and honour to the soon coming King of kings and Lord of lords, Christ Jesus!

What a glorious weekend as Pastor Daniel ministered on the Gold Coast at an AOG church with many also attending the revival meetings from other churches! 

10 precious souls (7 teenagers, 1 Jewish woman, who was also miraculously healed of cancer through prayer last October, and 2 Catholic men) were born-again into the Kingdom of God, bodies were supernaturally healed, and many lives transformed by a mighty demonstration of the Holy Spirit and the miracle working power of God! 

Last year in October at the same AOG church another woman with breast cancer was also healed aftHungry worshippers at the altarer Pastor Daniel prayed for her.  We reported how she was scheduled for chemotherapy 2 days later, but God miraculously healed her. 2 ultrasounds, 2 mammograms and a 6 needle biopsy showed  that the cancer had disappeared. Because the medical doctors were so shocked, they wanted her to go through all the tests again 3 months later. Well, these repeat tests were performed a few weeks ago. Once again, all glory to God as there is still no trace of cancer! Pastor Daniel said, ‘I personally saw all the x-rays and it’s a amazing miracle. Before I prayed for her last October 2009, you could see all the tests clearly showing many lumps, but now the tests show no lumps at all!”This dear sister is the oldest surviving member in her family as 19 of her family members have died of cancer. She is currently collecting all the reports and data from the hospital in order to publish her miraculous testimony of being totally healed from cancer. She is continuing to have personal encounters with the presence of God. (more…)

24-7 Prayer Marks Tenth Anniversary With London Event

9 February 2010 – Adrienne S. Gaines – Charisma News Online

A Britain-based ministry that has sparked a global movement of nonstop prayer is celebrating its 10th anniversary this week.

On Saturday, 24-7 Prayer is hosting an Iam10 celebration in London, where attendees will reflect on the last decade, spend time in prayer and worship, and participate in training opportunities. 

“Over the last year or so, we feel that God has been marking the race out more clearly ahead of us, giving us fresh vision and direction, and IAM10 feels like the perfect time to ‘go public’ and explore this together,” the ministry stated on its Web site. “Having briefly reflected on the past ten years together, we will look ahead to the next ten, and commit ourselves to following wherever the Lord leads us-probably in many wild, pioneering ways.”

Launched in Chichester, England, 24-7 Prayer has seen prayer rooms form in 100 nations since February 2000, when founder Pete Greig called for a year of unbroken prayer. Today, intercessors of all ages meet in places as diverse as the U.S. Naval Academy, the British Parliament and a punk festival in Germany to pray in one-hour shifts for local and global concerns.
