Faith Behind the Fascination with Margaret Thatcher’s Grandchildren

Teresa Neumann (Apr 26, 2013)

Amanda Thatcher’s much heralded reading from Ephesians at her grandmother’s funeral is due to the fact that “she knows God” and “has a mother who loves the Lord.”

(The U.K.) – Margaret Thatcher’s granddaughter, Amanda Thatcher, who was raised in the United States, wowed churchgoers at her grandmother’s funeral when she eloquently read from the book of Ephesians (click here to see video).

“Flawless!” gushed funeral attendants of the poised 19-year-old student, no doubt surprised that an American could be as articulate as their British counterparts. (Photo: NY Daily News)

Now, as revealed by Amanda’s mother, Diane Beckett – daughter-in-law of the late Prime Minister – not only is confidence, presence and articulation “in the blood,” it’s also a product of faith.

An article in The Telegraph details how Amanda Thatcher met and married Margaret Thatcher’s son Mark, whom she met in Texas in 1986 and later divorced. Today, Amanda is married to publishing magnate, James Beckett. According to the report, their family’s belief in God is the “bedrock of their life.”

Colorado Christians Answering the Prayers of Orphans

5/10/2013 Charlene Israel/CBN News

Each year thousands of children enter America’s foster care system and state workers are often overwhelmed with the task of finding them a safe home, but a growing number of Christians are getting involved to help ease the burden.

If you ever take the time to hear them, all of these children long for a sense of normalcy and peace—a place to call home.

“Will I ever be enough to be loved?” asks one 5-year-old foster girl.

After being placed with a permanent family, one 12-year-old boy commented, “I have a dream.”

“This time someone wanted me and I didn’t have to say goodbye,” he said.

In James 1:27, the Bible speaks of children without parents and the answer to their needs:

“Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress.”

NSW RUAP campaign meetings bring great excitement & some commit their lives to Jesus!

Dear family & friends in Christ,

The NSW RUAP campaign meetings in Blacktown (Sydney), Raymond Terrace (Newcastle), Blaxland (Sydney) & Wollongong brought great excitement to those who attended the meetings.

30-40 % of the people at some of the meetings came in after hearing or reading about RUA Party meeting in the media.

The meetings in Blacktown were covered by many media outlets, including Reuters News, The Daily Telegraph, BBC, Channel 7 & 10.

Unfortunately, the RSL did not permit Channel 7 & 10 to use their television cameras inside the hall. This was very disappointing.

Those who attended the meetings were very excited and challenged through RUAP National President Daniel Nalliah’s speech.

One young man, who was formerly a soldier in the Australia army, and had spent time in Afghanistan, shared with Pr Daniel that seven of his soldier mates had died. Some were killed in combat and others committed suicide.

He then told him that he too was having terrible nightmares at least twice a week. When Pr Daniel finished his political speech, this young man approached him and told him that he felt shivers running through his body while he was speaking, which had never happened to him before.

Well, all glory to God, this young fellow was mightily touched by the presence of God and then Pr Daniel led him to the Lord. With tears in his eyes, he gave his heart to Jesus.

Then, also in Wollongong at the RUAP meeting, four people prayed the sinners prayer to ask Jesus to come in their hearts, after hearing Pr Daniel’s testimony.  Our NSW lead Senate Candidate Mike Bloomfield led them in prayer.

Wow!! Isn’t this amazing! Souls coming to Jesus at a political party meeting! Well RUA Party’s mandate from God is to see Australia turn back to Jesus, not by force, but by love led by the Holy Spirit!

First slavery, now abortion: blacks bear brunt America’s lost moral rudder

by Star Parker –  May 06, 2013 (LifeSiteNews.com)

In 1854, Abraham Lincoln confronted America’s first “pro-choice” Senator Stephen Douglas, in a speech in Peoria, Illinois.

“Choice” then was about slavery, not abortion.

Douglas sponsored the Kansas-Nebraska Act, which addressed the sticky question of how to deal with legality of slavery in new territories entering the union. The Kansas-Nebraska Act resolved this by “choice.” Residents would vote to decide if slavery would be legal in their territory.

Lincoln challenged Douglas’s “pro-choice” position on slavery. According to Douglas, said Lincoln, “…the principle of the Nebraska Bill was very old; that it originated when God made man and placed good and evil before him, allowing him to choose for himself, being responsible for the choice he should make.”

No, said Lincoln. “God did not place good and evil before man, telling him to make his choice. On the contrary, he did tell him there was one tree, of the fruit of which he should not eat, upon pain of certain death.”

Islam’s Collective Punishment of Christians

by Raymond Ibrahim, Investigative Project on Terrorism, April 18, 2013

As many of Israel’s critics portray it as collectively punishing the Palestinians, overlooked and unsaid is the greater frequency with which Muslims collectively punish the religious minorities living under their authority, often in atrocious ways.

Consider Egypt alone. The most recent attacks on Egypt’s Copts, culminating in the unprecedented besiegement of the St. Mark Cathedral, the holiest site of Coptic Orthodoxy, is the latest large-scale “collective punishment” of the nation’s indigenous Christian minority. Indeed, almost all of the major attacks on Copts are carried out in the context of collective punishment, based on the idea that, if just one Christian upsets Muslims, all Christians—and their churches and their women and their children—become fair game.

Collectively punishing “upstart” religious minorities who refuse to know their place in the Islamic order actually has doctrinal backing. According to Mark Durie, author of The Third Choice: “Even a breach by a single individual dhimmi [non-Muslim living under Muslim authority] could result in jihad being enacted against the whole community. Muslim jurists have made this principle explicit, for example, the Yemeni jurist al-Murtada wrote that ‘The agreement will be canceled if all or some of them break it…’ and the Moroccan al-Maghili taught ‘The fact that one individual (or one group) among them has broken the statute is enough to invalidate it for all of them.'”

The latest collective punishment visited upon the Copts began in Khosous, near Cairo, on April 5, when a longstanding feud between a Christian family and a Muslim family—based on male Muslims sexually harassing Christian girls—culminated in the violent deaths of six Christians, including one set on fire, and one Muslim. In retribution, Muslims went on yet another “Friday-rampage”—Friday being the day Muslims meet and pray and hate and call for jihads on Christians—resulting in the injury of at least 20 other Copts, an attack on a Coptic church, and an Evangelical church set on fire.

Iran moves American Christian to solitary confinement over prayer protest

FoxNews.com, April 29, 2013 – By Lisa Daftari

The American pastor jailed in Iran for his faith has been placed in solitary confinement and may now be suffering organ failure, according to family members in Iran who are increasingly alarmed at his deteriorating health.

Saeed Abedini, the 32-year-old Christian and American citizen who is serving an eight-year prison term in Iran, was put in solitary confinement following a “peaceful, silent protest” in an outside courtyard at Iran’s notoriously brutal Evin prison, according to family members. Conditions at the prison prompted Abedini and other prisoners to sign a petition decrying the lack of medical care and the threats and harsh treatment facing family members who come to visit.

The protest angered prison officials who retaliated by placing Abedini and nine others in solitary confinement.

“Saeed had previously told his family that when he was in solitary confinement in the past, that was the hardest time in his life. That every hour was like one year and that he was losing his memory and his health was deteriorating quickly,” said his wife, Naghmeh Abedini, who is at the family’s home in Idaho with their two young children.

Media Release: RUA Party President Daniel Nalliah at RSL Blacktown Club in Sydney 31/05 to speak on Ethnic Enclaves – No Go Zones in Australia / Channel 7 Today Tonight / Is Islam the failure of Multiculturalism?

General Immediate Media Release 29th May 2013

Rise Up Australia Party National President Daniel Nalliah will address a gathering of Party supporters at the Blacktown RSL Club on Second Ave in Blacktown, Sydney this Friday night 31st  May at 7pm.

He will be addressing the issue of Ethnic Enclaves and No Go Zones in Australia.

This morning from his office in Melbourne, Daniel Nalliah responded to yesterday’s Channel 7 Today Tonight broadcast on the above topic.  

http://au.news.yahoo.com/today-tonight/lifestyle/article/-/17360450/suburban-enclaves/

He stated, “Muslims are the greatest violators of Multiculturalism.”

In his speech in Blacktown, he will call on gutless politicians to stop pussy-footing around the issue and to deal with it head on. He stated, “Do not surrender to the fear and intimidation by some Muslims who hate our way of life and want to spread the horror & terror of Islam.

If we continue to side step the real issue, and that is that ‘Islam is a violent religion’ and moreover a few Muslims have not highjacked Islam, but Islam has highjacked millions of Muslim people. We will not win this battle, if we don’t confront it right now. Otherwise, it will be too late, resulting in our children and grandchildren having to pay the price.”

Mr Nalliah, in his speech at the Blacktown RSL Club, will address the issue of how we should deal with the problem of Muslims taking over whole suburbs and turning them into NO GO ZONES for others.

Obama Protects Islam At All Costs

Posted on April 27, 2013 by John DeMayo

All over the world, Christianity is under attack. Muslim countries are murdering, torturing and incarcerating people for one reason, and one reason only, their Christian faith. Here in America our government sits on its collective hands and white washes or conveniently ignores the acts of violent Islamists that continue to plan to take more lives. Moreover, the very people entrusted with our Nations Security are protecting the financiers of this global attack on Christianity.

It is no big secret that the Muslim Brotherhood has the ear of President Obama. Obama has spent the first four months of his second term working to infringe on constitutional gun rights because a mentally ill man murdered 26 people in Connecticut. Yet the lives taken here and abroad during his first term by acts of Muslim terror remain unaddressed. Taxpayer dollars continue to feed and comfort America’s enemies at Guantanamo Bay. Islamists with American educations walk the halls of our White House shaping American foreign policy and lobbying for additional protections for an ideology that kills Americans and has no plans to stop.

The left wing media hell bent on attacking anything decent has become a propaganda machine for Islamists faulting everything American for the casualties that Islam continues to inflict on Christian communities. The people at Salon, MSNBC and CNN provide cover for these animals and sell the Obama anti-white, anti-Christian narrative that fuels Islamists dreams of hobbling America. Obama administration immigration policies and token border enforcement are providing a gateway for jihadists who no longer have to hide from federal authorities. Instead, they are welcomed, fed, housed and protected until they are able to execute more innocents.

If a white supremacist group were, burning churches and murdering American descendants of Africa the National Guard would be doing house-to-house searches in every red state south of the mason Dixon line. If a bakery refused to make a wedding cake for a same sex couple, the Justice Department would drag the Christian owner into federal court and destroy his business. However, two Muslim jihadists using bombs designed with Saudi financed al Qaeda internet support tear over 180 Americans lives apart and our President recommends once again American restraint.

2) What an action packed weekend in God’s Kingdom we had at CTFM with Tass Sada, the former PLO terrorist and personal driver of Yasser Arafat, in addition to Christine Sakakibars, a true Jerusalemite having lived in Israel for 37 years.

Tass shared his powerful testimony of how God miraculously transformed a life of hatred into hope, love and reconciliation when he met Jesus.

Once known as ‘The Butcher’ and one of the top snipers in the Islamic Fatah movement, today Tass works amongst Jews, Muslims and Christian to bring reconciliation.

He stated, “Jesus appeared in a glow of light and called me unto Him. Nothing would have made me change, but thank God that Jesus did completely change my life. At that very moment I gave my life to Jesus, I have never been the same again. My whole family has accepted Jesus.

I now love all people. My heart goes out to my Muslim people. I want to see them all come to Jesus. Jesus is the only answer to all the problems in the world. If He could have changed my life, He can change anyone.”

You can order his testimony on CD by emailing angelene@reformationharvestfire.com or calling the CTFM office on (03) 9794 8211.
