Unveiling The Man Of Sin – Possible Identity Of The Antichrist

Dear family and friends in Christ around the World,

Could Prince Hassan Bin Talal Be The Anti-Christ?Pastor Danny stated, ‘In my 26 years in Christian ministry, I have repeatedly heard about the End-times, the Antichrist, and the Second Coming of Jesus Christ, so many times by so many different Preachers and Bible Scholars. But nothing has stirred my spirit as much as the following presentation by Dr Joe Vankoevering, a Prophetic Teacher and Scholar of the Word of God. I have always sensed so strongly that there could be a very big possibility of the Antichrist being a man from the Islamic faith.  I pray that you will be prophetically challenged and spiritually awakened to realize how close we could be to the Second Coming of our Lord and Savior!’

Following is the link to the written transcript of an excellent biblical based and prophetic DVD on the possible identity of the Antichrist, the Unveiling of the Man of Sin!

Pentecostalism, Version 20.09

By J. Lee Grady

At my second daughter’s college graduation this weekend I saw the future of our movement.

Some people twitch or roll their eyes when you say the word Pentecostal. The term conjures up outdated images of either (1) slick-haired, Bible-thumping preachers who spew saliva on the unfortunate souls seated in the first three pews, or (2) scowling women with their hair in buns who know how to scare you with glossolalia.

Say goodbye to the worn-out stereotypes. Last weekend I saw the future of the Pentecostal movement when my wife and I attended a graduation ceremony at Emmanuel College, the liberal arts school in northeast Georgia that was founded 90 years ago by the International Pentecostal Holiness Church. What we witnessed on Saturday was a refreshing reminder that God has raised up a new generation of young people who are empowered by the Holy Spirit.

“Today’s Christian college students are nauseated by any kind of religious hype, whether it’s blow-dried evangelists, insincere appeals for offerings, faked healings, goofy buzzwords or schmaltzy Christian pop music.” (more…)

What A Glorious Weekend – The Spirit & Fire Of Pentecost

Dear family and friends in Christ,

The recent Pentecost weekend was so glorious, as many people from many cultures radically experienced the mighty wind of the Spirit of God blowing through Australia and the nations of the world!
 
We at Catch the Fire Ministries were so excited and overjoyed to have joined hundreds of millions of Christians around the world on Pentecost Sunday for the Global Day of Prayer in seeking God’s face for the healing, revival, and transformation of the nations, in addition to have thanked God for rain and celebrated the National Day of Thanksgiving in Australia on Sunday 31st May 2009.

I am sure that the hundreds who gathered over the weekend where Pastor Danny was ministering will testify that they experienced possibly a glimpse of the first day of Pentecost some 2000 years ago when the Holy Spirit was first poured out!  Pastor Danny first ministered on Saturday in Endeavor Hills in a packed out upper room to a group of Hungarian and Serbian Christians very hungry for the mighty presence of God! Many were greatly impacted through the ministry of the Word of God and were so blessed by the Lord’s unconditional love for His children!  Following the meeting was a great feast of delicious food! Pastor Danny stated, ‘We first had a Spiritual Feast and now a great natural feast!” The place was buzzing with great joy in the Spirit! (more…)

Rescue Sri Lanka – Summer Clothes Needed Desperately

Dear family & friends in Christ,

Firstly, I would like to thank everyone of you for your ongoing prayer support for the nation of Sri Lanka, which appears to have just finished a bloody civil war. It is reported that in the past few months thousands of civilians have died and many more injured due to the horrific fighting in Sri Lanka. The government has declared that they have captured all areas controlled by the rebels (LTTE) and that the war is officially over.

However, now comes this most important season of rebuilding this war-torn region, where hundreds of thousands of people are either displaced or have become refugees. My family members who live in Colombo (the capital city )have shared with me some good news that for possibly the very first time Buddhist monks and other clergyman from other religions, along with people from all different race groups were collecting much needed food, water and other essential supplies for the people in the north of the country.

Gospel For Asia Workers Helping Sri Lankans Displaced By Civil War

By News Release

Sri Lankan FlagThere are reports of individual Believers ministering to the people in the camps.

(Carrollton, TX)—Gospel for Asia-supported missionaries, workers and lay leaders are reaching out to thousands of Sri Lankans displaced by the most recent battles between the government and the Tamil Tigers rebel group. The United Nations estimates that about 50,000 civilians are trapped by the conflict. They are crowded onto a tiny strip of land that has been designated by the government as a “safe zone.”

Workers representing GFA are providing for the needs of people in the government-run camps. The workers are delivering sandals for the people, many of whom wore out their own sandals walking to the camps. They are also providing books for the makeshift schools operating in the camps, along with food. (more…)

Fire From Heaven, Miraculous Healings and Mighty Salvations in Melbourne, Australia

Dear family & friends in Christ,

As I regularly travel and minister from city to city across our nation of Australia, many have asked me as to why we have not continued to send ongoing updates on the Catch The Fire Meetings in Melbourne, Australia. Well, when every meeting each week is seeing people healed, delivered, set free, mightily filled with the Holy Spirit, and radically transformed by the power of God, it becomes your usual expectation all the time!

Several weeks ago in a dream the Lord said to me, “It’s time for Signs & Wonders!” I was so excited and shared this with my family the next morning, then with my ministry team on Wednesday at our weekly fasting and prayer meeting. The following weekend on Sunday night at our meeting the fire of the Holy Spirit fell as people were mightily touched and started singing, “Let Your fire fall, let Your fire fall!” Suddenly, my secretary interrupted me to show me something which was appearing on a lady’s camera, who could hardly stand up with her hands shivering . As I looked at the camera I was surprised to see what seemed to be 3-6 columns of flaming fire. At this point I told the congregation and almost all present personally witnessed this. (more…)

Religious Leaders Unite To Fight Vilification Laws

By Andrew West

POWERFUL and morally conservative religious leaders and laymen, including Christians, Jews and Muslims, have united to form a lobby group to fight what they say is the growing threat to religious freedom in Australia.

The Ambrose Centre for Religious Liberty will be launched at NSW Parliament House tonight and formally brings together for the first time the leaders of several religious groups.

The centre’s chairman, the Sydney lawyer Rocco Mimmo, said the leaders were increasingly worried that religious vilification laws – such as the ones used in Victoria to prosecute a Pentacostal pastor for inflammatory comments about Islam – would be introduced nationally.

“All of us have concerns, for different reasons, that religious liberty is in danger,” Mr Mimmo told the Herald.

“Anti-vilification laws have a superficial appeal to people but, however inappropriate those comments made by the Victorian pastor, I doubt very much whether they actually incited people to violence.” (more…)

Anti-Christian Britain

Chuch ColsonBy Chuck Colson

As you may know, in Islamic countries such as Afghanistan, converting from Islam to Christianity is a crime punishable by death. While they don’t go that far, certain Indian states and Nepal erect formidable hurdles for would-be converts to Christianity.
 
And then there’s the United Kingdom.

In 2007, a 16-year-old girl was placed into foster care after being assaulted by a family member. Her foster mother had taken care of 80 foster kids over 10 years. She rented a farmhouse and was, by all accounts, completely committed to the well-being of the children placed under her care.

She is also a practicing Anglican Christian. This hadn’t been a problem. No one had ever accused her of taking advantage of her relationship to the girls for proselytizing.

The same is true of the 16-year-old in question. Still, the girl became interested in Christianity on her own; said that she wanted to attend church; and expressed a desire to be baptized. For the girl, baptism was a “washing away of the horrible things she had been through and a symbol of a new start.” (more…)

‘Hate Crimes’ Legislation Advancing Quickly

Repent America Urges Immediate Action from Christians

- PHILADELPHIA ELEVEN AFTER THEIR VINDICATION BY A PHILADELPHIA CRIMINAL COURT -PHILADELPHIA – Repent America is urging Christians nationwide to contact their congressmen and senators in effort to defeat the passage of “The Local Law Enforcement Hate Crimes Prevention Act of 2009” (H.R. 1913), which poses a serious threat to Biblical evangelism and active stances against the sin of homosexuality. After approval of the bill this past Thursday by the House Judiciary Committee, the measure is swiftly moving to a full vote in Congress, as well as consideration before the Senate this week. Unless Christians act, H.R. 1913 could be on President Obama’s desk within the next couple of weeks.

Co-written by openly homosexual congressman Barney Frank and co-sponsored by Rep. John Conyers of Michigan, the Hate Crimes Prevention Act is faulty and untruthful from its very foundation, citing in its “findings” section that “members of such groups are forced to move across state lines to escape the incidence or risk of such violence” and that they are “prevented from purchasing goods and services, obtaining or sustaining employment or participating in other commercial activity.” (more…)

UN Security Council Fails to Act While Civilians Suffer

 (New York, May 12, 2009) – New satellite imagery and eyewitness accounts contradict Sri Lankan government claims that its armed forces are no longer using heavy weapons in the densely populated conflict area in northern Sri Lanka, Human Rights Watch said today. 

 Local sources have reported that more than 400 civilians have been killed and more than 1,000 wounded since May 9, 2009, as a result of artillery attacks on the thin coastal strip where fighting continues between government forces and the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE). (more…)

The Problem With (Some) Christians: It’s About Integrity

By Greg Laurie

Greg LaurieA pastor who boarded a bus one Monday morning paid his fare and took his seat before he realized the bus driver had given him a lot of extra change. At the next stop, the pastor went up to the bus driver and said, “Excuse me, sir, but you gave me too much change. I wanted to give it back to you.”

“I didn’t make a mistake, pastor,” the bus driver told him. “I was at your church last night and heard you preach on honesty. I just wanted to see if you would live it.”

We seldom realize that people are watching us. They are paying attention to what we do. They may not tell you they are watching you, but they want to see if you are the real deal, if you are a man or woman of integrity.

If you knew that no one would ever use your computer and look at the websites you visit, would you visit websites you are not visiting now? If you knew that no one would ever know about the movie you were going to, would you go to a different movie than you normally would? (more…)

Taliban Executes 2 Christians

Pakistani FlagBelievers were protesting demand they accept Islam
 
Taliban Islamic radicals have attacked a community of Christians, executing two of them following a rally that protested Muslim graffiti in their neighborhood that ordered them to accept Islam or die, according to an international Christian organization.

The attack in Pakistan follows only by days an expansion of the territory occupied by the Islamic Taliban members.

The report from International Christian Concern said it happened in Taseer Town in Karachi.

The organization, which reaches out to persecuted Christians around the world, said it was told by Asif Stephen, a Christian politician, that the Christians protesting the Islamic slogans say: “We were protesting peacefully and all of sudden, a few militants carrying the latest weapons rushed in. Some of the attackers entered homes and pillaged money and jewelry and abused the women and burned their properties. The elderly were injured and one child fell to the ground and died in my friend’s arms.” (more…)

Muslims And Christians In Kenya Argue Over Barack Obama’s Grandmother

By Nick Meo

Muslims have accused Christians of trying to convert Sarah Obama to Christianity.

Mrs Obama, a figure of substance in her homeland since her grandson was elected US President, was reported locally to have been stopped from going to a Seventh Day Adventist Church by Muslims because they thought the church would try to convert her.

However, members of the church said that she was not to be converted and was merely invited to attend an event.

“We had invited her to grace our meeting in Kisumu which was to mark the end of a three-week convention, but although she had prepared, she did not attend,” Lewis Ondiek, a senior church figure, told Ecumenical News International. (more…)
