Lecrae Opens Up About Abortion and Encourages Others to Come Into the Light

February 01, 2015 – Desiring God

As the 42nd anniversary of Roe v. Wade draws near, we are reminded of how large and formidable the abortion industry has become in the United States. Planned Parenthood survives with a heavy dose of government funding, even as overall abortion numbers are down and seem to indicate the entire industry is diminishing.

The battle between life and choice is being fought one story at a time.

On one side is 25-year-old Emily Letts, who uploaded to YouTube, as a “positive” story, what she claims is her abortion procedure (the actual procedure is shielded from view and the authenticity of Letts’ video remains in question). It became an overnight viral phenomenon, spawning websites dedicated to gathering up more stories from women who seem to harbor no regrets for their choice, with the intent of alleviating the private shame.

On the other side are those who know such deep guilt can only be relieved by the open confession of sin, a story Lecrae Moore lived out firsthand, and a message he’s now willing to share. It was honesty that opened the door of healing for the 35-year-old Grammy Award winning hip-hop artist who has come forward to admit he advocated for the destruction of his own child in 2002.

What a great Miracle with Benjamin Netanyahu re-elected as PM of Israel

Dear family & friends in Christ,

I am sure you all know by now that Benjamin Netanyahu was re-elected as Prime Minister of Israel.  Just for the record, I do know that the government yet needs to be formed together with other minor parties.

As I watched news heading up to the election, the predictions were that he will not make it. But now that he is in, the left media seemed to be shocked as to how this happened.

https://au.news.yahoo.com/video/watch/26723311/israeli-prime-minister-re-elected/

Well, glory to God as I know that millions of Christians around the world stormed heaven in prayer for this great miracle. Thank so very much for doing so ,as this victory is a victory just not for Israel, but it is a victory for the whole world.

Why is this victory so important? After living in Saudi Arabia, I know that in the war on Islamic terror, Israel is right in the front line of this war. I don’t think any other nation in the world can understand the danger and threat of Islam to the whole world as Israel does.

Like it or not, the Jewish people are a chosen bunch of people by God placed right in the middle of the Middle East and they know best how to deal with Islam. A visit to the Middle East will never give you the true nature and mission of Islam.  However, if you have live in the Middle East, you will know as to why PM Benjamin Netanyahu stands so strong against the spirit of Islam and refuses to be politically correct.

The Danger of Christian Celebrity

11/20/2014 Michele Perry – Spirit Led Woman

I have been back in the USA for over a year now. After living in South Asia and Africa for almost 10 years collectively, I’m noticing things I probably didn’t before. I’m older, not nearly as starry-eyed and have had opportunity to see the beautiful and the broken in so many places as I have traveled.

There is a trend in some parts of our Western Christianity that is dangerous and counter-productive, especially as it has recently been amplified by social media’s explosion. It mirrors the “cult of celebrity” in popular culture where twitter feeds dictate reality and reality TV is anything but real.

Let me preface what I am about to say by saying there have always been leaders who were well known in their day within the church and recognized by history as influential. I am not talking about being well known in and of itself.

In the last few years as the selfie has become a social media staple, it seems the goal has shifted even in ministry to becoming well known, as well as having a more powerful platform, a bigger ministry, a wider-reaching Facebook presence and a broader personal branding empire … for Jesus’ sake of course. #allforhim (I couldn’t resist.)

History’s “famous” leaders—and many of today’s—became known simply as a by-product of their fixed gazes following Christ, the only famous one, and paying unimaginably high prices to do so. Being “well known” was never the goal.  Being known well by Him was.

The Cancer of Multiculturalism

By Walter Williams – Feb. 25, 2015 – Jewish World Review

President Barack Obama surprised many at the National Prayer Breakfast when he lectured us, “Lest we get on our high horse and think this (barbarity) is unique to some other place, remember that during the Crusades and the Inquisition, people committed terrible deeds in the name of Christ.” Obama went on to explain, “In our home country, slavery and Jim Crow all too often (were) justified in the name of Christ.” In Obama’s mind, Western outrage at Islamic barbarism should be tempered by the remembrance of what Christians did a thousand years ago in the name of Christ. Plus, that outrage should be chastened by our own history of slavery and Jim Crow.

President Obama’s vision is that of a man brainwashed through an academic vision of multiculturalism, in which American exceptionalism has no place. It’s a vision that has been shaped by a longtime association with people who hate our country, people such as the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Weather Underground leader and Pentagon bomber William Ayers and Ayers’ onetime fugitive wife, Bernardine Dohrn. A vision that sees a moral equivalency between what Christians did centuries ago and today’s Islamic savagery is quite prevalent in academia. It’s part of what’s worshipped on most college campuses as diversity and multiculturalism.

College campus idiots — and that includes faculty members and administrators — call for the celebration of and respect for all cultures. In their eyes, it’s racist Eurocentrism to think that Western values and culture are superior to others. But that’s the height of stupidity. Ask your campus multiculturalist who believes in cultural equivalency: Is forcible female genital mutilation, as practiced in nearly 30 sub-Saharan African and Middle Eastern countries, a morally equivalent cultural value? Slavery is practiced in Sudan and Niger; is that a cultural equivalent? In most of the Middle East, there are numerous limits on women — such as prohibitions on driving, employment, voting and education. Under Islamic law, in some countries, female adulterers face death by stoning, and thieves face the punishment of having their hand severed. Some multiculturalists are members of campus LGBT groups. Ask them to what extent the Muslim culture would tolerate their lifestyle.

Israel Election – Pray for PM Benjamin Netanyahu to be re-elected

Dear family & friends in Christ,

On 3rd March at 6.45am I was interviewed by a very well-known secular radio station in California. The host wanted to know, amongst many other things, as to what my take was on the PM of Israel speaking to the US Congress just a couple of hours after my interview.

That morning from my hotel room in Los Angeles, I watched the PM of Israel Benjamin Netanyahu address the US Congress. It was possibly one of the best speeches I have ever heard. Interestingly enough, he did not need a teleprompter machine because he spoke from his heart about his people and the land the Lord had given them.

I was in tears at times when I heard him quote the bible and speak on Esther and Moses. It was very interesting, although President Obama did not attend this very important meeting. His absence seemed not to bother anyone.

Congress stood up and applauded the PM of Israel, almost after every sentence he spoke. I have never heard anyone get so many rounds of applause.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/post-politics/wp/2015/03/03/full-text-netanyahus-address-to-congress/

God does have a very good sense of humour as he used the PM of Israel to challenge the nation of America from the very place the US President would address the nation and the congress.

Let me get to the real point. We must earnestly storm heaven for PM Benjamin Netanyahu to be re-elected. If not, Israel will possibly lose a lot of what she has gained under his leadership. It is not about people’s opinions, but God’s will to be done for Israel.

Great time at RUAP Conference

Dear friends & family in Christ,

Thank you to all those who attended the RUAP national conference in Melbourne and a special thank you to those who came from almost every state across Australia. Your presence was greatly appreciated.

The conference started with Cr Rosalie Crestani from the city of Casey in Victoria (where the RUAP head office is located) welcoming the people and then sharing why she believed in the vision of RUAP.

This was followed by 6 RUAP State Presidents giving their speeches. Each one stated that they believed in the vision of Keeping Australia Australian and that RUAP was the answer for Australia.

Next, the special guest speaker Mr Asoka Perera addressed the gathering and encouraged the people to stand strong and committed to the vision.

Then the National President for RUAP Daniel Nalliah addressed the people and challenged them to Rise Up and fight the good fight to protect Australia for the next generation.

Those at the conference were greatly blessed and pledged their commitment to Rise Up Australia Party, to keep Australia Australian.

After a short break for lunch, the floor was open for questions and answers. This was very interactive as many of them who spoke shared their excitement to be a part of RUAP.

Daniel Nalliah stated, “I was so encouraged to hear and see the commitment of people gathered at the conference to see RUAP become a major player in Australian politics in the next few years. It is always good to hear members of the party share their thoughts as it reflects the mood of the nation.”

Once again, a big thank you to everyone who is a part of RUAP.

Christians in India Face Unprecedented Wave of Attacks as Hindu Nationalists Grow Bolder Under New Government

January 25, 2015 – Matt Waterson, NEWS CONSORTIUM Catholic Online

In 2014, India saw a wave of violence towards Christians that left five dead, including one 11-year-old child. Another 7,000 people experienced other persecution that year, a new report from the Mumbai-based Catholic Secular Forum (CSF) revealed.

The Christian Persecution Report revealed that another 300 clergymen or leaders of Christian communities were victims of violence.

Most of India is Hindu, but there is also a large population of Muslims, Sikhs and Christians — largely Catholic. In recent years the country of more than a billion has seen a sharp turn towards nationalism and fundamentalism, and those who do not fit the Hindu Indian profile are being targeted for violence or discrimination.

In an interview with ucanews.com, CSF’s general secretary, Joseph Dias spoke the reason this disturbing trend has arisen.

“Some right-wing forces have become active since the pro-Hindu Bhartiua Janata Party took over the reins of the country.”

“Brainwashed youth are increasingly catechized to believe that ISLAM IS SKILL. Older, wiser heads understand that ISLAM IS KILL, ISLAM IS ILL.

http://www.abc.net.au/7.30/content/2015/s4196697.htm

http://www.theage.com.au/…/teen-jihadi-jake-bilardi-was-pre…

The seeds of 18 year old Jake Bilardi’s death-by-Islam were sown when Australian History and the Bible were chucked out of Aussie schools. Without a moral compass, and sense of identity, young lives will continue to be hijacked by our enemies! The greatest of which could well be the DEATH CULT OF ISLAM.

Rev. Graham: Christians Are ‘Being Slaughtered by The Muslims’ Who ‘Are Emulating the Prophet Mohammed’

By Shoebat Foundation on March 9, 2015

The Rev. Franklin Graham says that just as he tries to “emulate” Jesus, who was “a man of peace,” Muslims try to emulate their leader, who “was a man of war.”

“Muhammad was a man of war and he killed many people,” Graham told Tucker Carlson on “Fox & Friends Weekend” on Sunday. “Jesus Christ came as a man of peace, and as a follower of Christ I follow him and I want to emulate Him. But the followers of Islam are emulating the prophet Muhammad, and that’s what you’re seeing carried out.”

“We have to be very careful and understand that Islam — the teachings of Islam — are militant,” the president of the Samaritan’s Purse charity said. ” I’m talking about, when you read the Quran, when you read the Surra, it’s very militant.”

According to Graham, one of the reasons for the rise of Christian persecution in the Middle East was the fall of the former Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein.

http://www.mrctv.org/videos/rev-graham-were-going-see-persecution-country

“When Iraq was invaded by our country — and I’m not saying this was right or wrong, I’m just saying it’s a fact — there was a large Christian minority. Saddam Hussein gave them quite a lot of freedom,” he explained.

A Revival of the Fear of God

Wednesday, 21 January 2015

What the church of America desperately needs today is a revival of the fear of God.

I’m not talking about a servile fear for a petty and unpredictable deity. Perfect love casts out that kind of fear (see 1 John 4:18).

I’m talking about the reverential fear deserved by a holy and all-powerful God, the kind of fear that causes us to walk carefully in His sight. Such godly awe is sadly lacking in the body.

Today, worship must be “fun,” pastors must be “cool,” and every message must have some good jokes in it. We don’t want to get too serious about spiritual things. That would be stiff and “religious.”

No wonder we are so shallow in our convictions and so compromised in our lifestyles. A fresh encounter with God would drive out our superficial spirituality in a hurry.

How desperately we need that fresh encounter—the kind that causes us to fall on our faces in His glorious presence crying out, “Holy, holy, holy!”

Ps Daniel’s amazing ministry tour of America

Dear family & friends in Christ,

We praise and thank God for a wonderful ministry tour of America for Ps Daniel & Peter (one of his team).

Although it was a short trip of only 10 nights, he ministered in 5 cities (Baton Rouge, Phoenix, Seattle, Vancouver & LA), preached at several churches and did several TV & Radio programs (CBN, SBN, TBN, Warning TV & Truth Talk Radio).

He stated, “I thank God for this great nation of America. The message the Lord gave me was ‘Repent & pray for your sins are stacked up to heaven’. I saw America currently covered with darkness and needing much prayer and repentance as in 2 Chronicles 7:14.

The large and small churches alike received this message with an open heart and cried out to the Lord at almost every single meeting.

America needs much prayer. I have been to America so many times in the past 15 years, but I saw myself (along with Peter), crying for America for the very first time.

I believe God gave an ungodly President Obama to bring America to its knees to repent and cry in prayer for their land. Over the last 6 years, President Obama has taken the US far away from God and opened the nation to Islam.

I clearly remember warning the church in America 6-7 years ago, through many TV & Radio shows, also some meetings, that the then Senator Obama would be a disaster to America if elected as President.

Just as the Lord had me warn Australia regarding Kevin Rudd, now I dare say, pray that Malcolm Turnbull does not get to be Prime Minister. Pray clearly that he would be removed from Parliament.

If Malcolm gets the leadership of Liberals, we will lose much of what we have gained and open our nation to Islam.

We must pray that Tony Abbott stays as Prime Minister for a few years.”
