Spirit Of God falls mightily On 2nd Night- Revival Glory Outpouring Extended For 3 More Days In Melbourne

By Catch The Fire Ministries

Dear Family and Friends in Christ,
 
It is absolutely exciting to be in the centre of a mighty outpouring of the Holy Ghost in Melbourne, Australia!
We at Catch the Fire Ministries have dreamed in prayerful expectation for such a day when we would begin to see the tangible presence and supernatural power of God poured out in our nation!
 
Last night was another absolutely glorious night in this increasing outpouring of the Spirit!  Several hundred spiritually hungry and thirsty people of God entered His manifest presence through anointed praise and prophetic worship to touch Heaven and change Earth!  The freedom of the Spirit of God reigned (and rained) as many people left their seats for the altar, to dance, to weep, to laugh at a defeated devil, to corporately worship the King of kings and Lord of lords!

Chinese Christians Making Impact in Earthquake Area

By Jerry Dykstra

Praying For China“People suddenly became aware of the importance of death and people are more willing to listen. At the same time, Christians can go to witness to them. We also went to hospitals and were quite surprised—things are quite open. The leaders wanted people to visit, not only to identify their own family members, but to encourage and comfort those traumatized patients.”

(Santa Ana, CA)—The following is [a portion of] an interview with Open Doors Director of China Training (his name is not given due to security issues). He talks about the devastating earthquake which hit China on May 12, and how Christians are making an impact physically and spiritually during relief efforts. (The earthquake left 69,000 dead, 18,000 missing and 5 million homeless.) (more…)

MSNBC Publishes New Report On Lakeland Revival; Can’t Ignore Impact The Outpouring Is Having

By Teresa Neumann

“I say, you have nothing to lose but your sickness. If the doctors can’t help you, why wouldn’t you give God a chance?”

FOUNDING EDITOR’S NOTE: I debated whether or not to even link to this MSNBC story. It was well done, but the secular media feels, as is normal, the obligation to post both pro and con arguments toward this revival or any news story, honestly. One can’t blame that approach as they are not there to “fan the flames” for the Church . . . at least not yet. So in order for them to be considered “news,” they have to find someone on most stories who say “My take on this is that it isn’t good.” (words to that effect). So it is with mixed feelings (mostly good) that I post this story. The summary was well written by our own Teresa Neumann with Breaking Christian News. As many of you link to the story from MSNBC, I would encourage the reader to remember what Jesus’ response was when His strange healings were happening and John the Baptist was stuck in prison. “Are you the ONE?” He was asked, “or should we look for another?” Jesus’ response was simple and direct: “. . . So He replied to the messengers, ‘Go back and report to John what you have seen and heard: The blind receive sight, the lame walk, those who have leprosy are cured, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the good news is preached to the poor.'” Luke 7:21-22 (NIV) – Steve Shultz, BCN.

Edges Fray On Control Freak

By Andrew Bolt – The Herald Sun

Andrew BoltTHE private Kevin Rudd is smashing into the public image of Kevin Rudd, and his blood is now all over the polls.

I’ve said it for a year, but only now do more Left-leaning commentators agree there’s a potentially fatal flaw in the Prime Minister.

It’s that personality thing. Once again we find – as we did with the unstable Mark Latham – that character in politics is king. Or knave. (more…)

Celebrities, Charlatans And The Kingdom Of God

By Bill Muehlenberg


It is both an amazing and a humbling truth that God has for some reason decided that his work in this world would largely be carried out by you and me. He has said that we his people will help to build his Kingdom. Despite our fallen, frail and fickle natures, he has wondrously and mysteriously chosen us to help get the job done.

That is an incredible thought. As Paul puts it in 2 Corinthians 4:7, we have this treasure (the glory of God) in earthen vessels (our own weak and stumbling selves). Imagine the humility and grace of God, to entrust this most vital of tasks to us.

It is almost as if I had a multi-million dollar business deal to stitch together, and I entrusted the whole job to a five-year-old boy. Or as if I must sit a rigorous PhD entrance exam, and I ask a four-year-old girl to take it for me. Or as if I choose to entrust the flying of a 747 to a three-year-old boy. (more…)

‘The Emergent Church’: A Dangerous Counterfeit

By Greg Laurie,

Greg LaurieAs a 17-year-old boy, I had looked for truth and answers in this world and found none. Then, to my own amazement, I found myself completely won over by the bold, unashamed witness of a group of committed Christians on my high school campus.

People could have tried to be cool and win me over, but it would have never worked. I’d had enough of “cool” in the crazy home I was raised in to make me choke. I had pretty much seen it all, and nothing to me was lamer than people trying too hard to be cool. (more…)

Dear Friends and Family in Christ,

1) Following is an interesting article that recently appeared in the Australian newspaper stating that the Christian vote was the primary factor in the Rudd Labor Party’s rise to power in the recent election:

Seeker Friendly Church Leader Admits They Have Done It All Wrong

By Bob Burney,

If you are older than 40 the name Benjamin Spock is more than familiar. It was Spock that told an entire generation of parents to take it easy, don’t discipline your children and allow them to express themselves. Discipline, he told us, would warp a child’s fragile ego. Millions followed the guru of child development and he remained unchallenged among child rearing professionals. However, before his death Dr. Spock made an amazing discovery: he was wrong. In fact, he said:

We have reared a generation of brats. Parents aren’t firm enough with their children for fear of losing their love or incurring their resentment. This is a cruel deprivation that we professionals have imposed on mothers and fathers. Of course, we did it with the best of intentions. We didn’t realize until it was too late how our know-it-all attitude was undermining the self assurance of parents.

Oops. (more…)
