Dear friends and family in Christ, Please watch the following very important video message (3 min) from an African American Christian Leader to all Black Christians in today’s US Presidential…

The clearest answer comes from a statement reputedly made by President Harry Truman during his 1948 presidential election campaign.
One of his supporters yelled out to him, Give em hell, Harry! Truman responded, I don’t give them hell. I just tell the truth about them and they think it’s hell.
That is precisely the reason why there is a war on Christians waged by members of the secular media.
Christians speak the truth about God s best for humanity as it applies to morality, laws and governing principles, but the secular media views these truths as hell. Truth always feels like hell to those who reject, deny or hate the truth.
When Bible-believing Christians share that there is only one true God who is lovingly inviting people to believe in Him and receive His redemption or face His coming judgment, that is hell to those who view themselves as their own gods masters of their own fates. Many of these self-made gods control our media.
As gods, they want no competition. They reject the truth that God is God alone and that He will hold them accountable for mocking Him and His followers. Thus, the truth is hell to them, even before they get there. They express their hatred for God s truth by heaping venom on anyone who declares God s truth.

Dear family & friends in Christ,
1) We thank and praise the Lord Jesus for a mighty outpouring of His Holy Spirit in Culcairn & Holbrook, NSW over this last weekend, where Pr Daniel, along with a team from Catch The Fire Ministries, ministered the Word of God to many who gathered!
In Culcairn the population is only around 1200, but praise God more than 100 people attended the Sunday night meeting held at the Footy Club. There were so many people from different denominational churches present at the meeting. It was so exciting to see many children & youth come up for prayer as many responded to the altar call, and some gave their lives to Jesus!
We thank God for the many young men who were there from the Footy Club and were greatly excited to hear Pr Daniel speak about Rise Up Australia Party.
The place erupted with great excitement as they heard the RUA Party slogan to “Keep Australia Australian”!
Many also signed up for RUA Party membership and around 1000 RUAP brochures were taken by the people to distribute amongst their friends and family.
Last Monday, Pr Daniel also travelled to Sydney to speak at a RUA Party meeting in Kellyville.

Over a hundred years ago, the great Dutch theologian Herman Bavinck predicted that the 20th century would “witness a gigantic conflict of spirits.” His prediction turned out to be an understatement, and this great conflict continues into the 21st century.
The issue of Halloween presses itself annually upon the Christian conscience. Acutely aware of dangers new and old, many Christian parents choose to withdraw their children from the holiday altogether. Others choose to follow a strategic battle plan for engagement with the holiday. Still others have gone further, seeking to convert Halloween into an evangelistic opportunity. Is Halloween really that significant?
Well, Halloween is a big deal in the marketplace. Halloween is surpassed only by Christmas in terms of economic activity. Reporting in 2007, David J. Skal estimated: “Precise figures are difficult to determine, but the annual economic impact of Halloween is now somewhere between 4 billion and 6 billion dollars depending on the number and kinds of industries one includes in the calculations.” As of 2012, that total exceeded $8 billion.
Furthermore, historian Nicholas Rogers claims that “Halloween is currently the second most important party night in North America. In terms of its retail potential, it is second only to Christmas. This commercialism fortifies its significance as a time of public license, a custom-designed opportunity to have a blast. Regardless of its spiritual complications, Halloween is big business.”

But Obama administration policies favoring same-sex marriage, indirect abortion funding through Obamacare, and the HHS mandate compelling religious groups to offer contraceptive/abortifacient coverage have antagonized many evangelicals. Several evangelical schools have joined Catholic schools in litigating against the mandate. The Democratic convention’s awkward last minute restoration of God to the party platform likely did not help.
Now the most revered American evangelical seems to have virtually endorsed Romney. On Oct. 11Romney met with 93-year-old Billy Graham at his North Carolina mountain log cabin. Photos of the two with Graham’s evangelist son, Franklin, were released and widely published. Graham was quoted as telling Romney: “I’ll do all I can to help you. And you can quote me on that.” A statement from Graham afterward was issued.
Dear friend and family in Christ,
1) Over the last weekend Pr Daniel, with a team from CTFM, ministered at Fire & Rain Christian Centre in Rosebud, Victoria, where the Spirit of God moved most powerfully at every service. People were so mightily blessed by the Word of God and some of the very powerful testimonies Pr Daniel shared with the people.
Many at the meetings were healed, delivered and set free by the power of God!
When Pr Daniel shared the vision the Lord gave him to take Australia for Jesus and then about Rise Up Australia Party to ‘Keep Australia Australian’, people clapped and rejoiced.
Many people gathered at the services immediately signed up and took membership with RUA Party. Also there were some who were very keen on standing as candidates.
Pr Daniel stated, “I was so blessed to see so many people get so excited about RUA Party. It is personally very, very encouraging to me.”
See http://riseupaustraliaparty.com/ for more info on Rise Up Australia, including how to join as a member.
2) All glory to our soon coming King of kings and LORDs, as Prophetic Minister Robert Mist from Millennium Kingdom Ministries based in New Zealand, powerfully ministered God’s prophetic Word and revelation at CTFM Hallam last Sunday morning and evening services, regarding Australia’s end-time prophetic destiny as a ‘Prince Nation’ in our Lord Jesus Christ’s coming Kingdom global government across the Nations of the World!
Hundreds of intercessory prayer warriors at both service (also the webcast) were further ignited by the Spirit of God to Rise Up Australia to Catch the Fire!
Dear friends and family in Christ, For those of you in the Melbourne area, we’re very excited to personally invite you, your family, friends and neighbours to join our very…
Dear friends and family in Christ, For your ongoing prayerful interest in changing the terrible abortion laws in Victoria and across Australia, we’re forwarding the following email from Salt Shakers…
Dear family & friends in Christ,
1) The weekend gone by was one of so much activity at Catch the Fire Ministries and Rise Up Australia for the Kingdom of God!
Starting on Friday night, with only 24 hours’ notice, a bunch of faithful prayer warriors gathered at the steps of the Victorian State Parliament to pray and light candles in remembrance of those who lost their loved ones 10 years ago in Bali.
It was raining as we were driving to the Victorian State Parliament in Melbourne city. We started praying and the rain stopped just 15 min before the meeting started! We thank God that we were able to pray for our city of Melbourne and nation of Australia, right on the steps of Parliament. Many passing by tooted their horns in support, while others put their windows down and gave us the thumbs up. Some even joined the service.
Many were greatly impacted as they read the signs we held and saw us waving Australian flags and praying for our nation. We also prayed for the culture of violence to stop in our cities, for protection over our nation and for God’s peace to prevail. One police officer on duty commented, “It is so nice to see a group genuinely caring for our nation and praying for us.”
2) The first AGM of Rise Up Australia Party was held in Melbourne on Saturday the 13 of Oct. The RUA Party National Executive was very encouraged with the number of people who
turned up for the meeting. The meeting went very well with RUAP members attending from across the country.
The National President Daniel Nalliah addressed the gathering and challenged the people to rise up to take a stand to protect Australia and ‘Keep it Australian’. He also re-enforced the vision, emphasising that the task ahead of us is very challenging, but by God’s grace Rise Up Australia Party will fight to ‘Keep Australia Australian!’
He spoke very passionately and boldly about the importance of protecting our Judeo-Christian Heritage, and ‘Keeping Australia Australian’ for generations to come, so that our sons & daughters can enjoy the freedoms we have. He also spoke out very strongly against Islamic Sharia Law and Multiculturalism. His speech was received with much applause and shouts of support by those present.
Following the National President’s speech, the four State Presidents for Vic, WA, Tas & QLD addressed the gathering. They too spoke with great passion and love for Australia, re-enforcing their commitment to ‘Keep Australia Australian!’

Millions of Christians united across denominational, cultural, and political differences on Sunday, October 7, as part of The Day of Prayer for the Peace of Jerusalem (DPPJ) to intercede for the city God calls His own and to invoke God’s blessing, purposes, and provision upon all of Jerusalem’s people. From over 175 nations, believers gathered to pray in their worship services, in their homes, on college campuses, in regional gatherings, and on a 24 Hour Prayer Conference Call.
Broadcast by GOD TV to over 200 nations, Christians were also able to join the special DPPJ Celebration at the International Convention Center in Jerusalem. It was co-hosted by the International Christian Embassy Jerusalem ( ICEJ), who had gathered more than 5,000 believers from nearly 90 countries for that week. Its Executive Director – Dr. Jürgen Bühler – told the packed audience: “We have to pray for Israel like never before and stand with Israel like never before. We have to pray for all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, both Jew and Arab…and as we pray for Israel, we must pray for the Arab nations too.”
Special guests and speakers participating in the Jerusalem event included the Israeli Hip Hop artists “Lions of Zion”, as well as Deputy Speaker of the Knesset, MK Danny Danon; Chief Rabbi of Efrat, Dr. Shlomo Riskin; International Director of Interreligious Affairs of the AJC, Rabbi Dr. David Rosen; and other Jewish and Evangelical Christian leaders.
This multinational, multi-denominational DPPJ global prayer movement was started in 2002 by Evangelical Christian leaders with Dr. Jack W. Hayford and Rev. Dr. Robert Stearns serving as co-chairmen. Rev. Stearns, Founder/Director of Eagles’ Wings, explained: “We are gathering together in Jerusalem during the season of the High Holidays and declaring that Christians will continue to pray for G-d’s peace to come to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem. We will remind G-d of His promises, and we will remind Israel’s detractors that Israel is not alone.” (more…)
Dear Family and Friends in Christ, 1) This Sunday 7th October and also next Sunday 14th October Pr Daniel will be ministering at both the 9.30am & 6.30pm services at…
Dear family & friends in Christ,
Further to our previous post regarding Bob Carr’s statement on the religious vilification laws re the two Danny’s, please read and act on the following important email from Salt Shakers.
UN – Blasphemy laws and ‘defamation’ of Islam Posted online.
The UN is again considering ‘defamation of religion’ laws. Last year a ‘compromise motion’ on ‘religious tolerance’ – with similar aims – was approved by the UN (source).
We want Australia to oppose – and vote AGAINST – both ‘defamation of religion’ laws and also ‘religious tolerance’ laws.
See the ACTION section below – contact PM Julia Gillard and Foreign Minister Bob Carr.
In Victoria, we are acutely aware of the problems caused by the Racial and Religious Tolerance Act, introduced by the Bracks Labor government in 2001.
The most high-profile case, involving Pastor Daniel Scot and Catch the Fire Ministries, caused huge angst and took five years to ‘resolve’! Religious vilification laws create disharmony and unrest. They are often used to shut down debate and criticism.

Brotherhood secretary-general Mahmoud Hussein called for a “peaceful protest to condemn insults to religious convictions and insults to the Prophet”, adding it would start after noon prayers on Friday in front of main mosques across Egypt.
Right… peaceful. Morsi did not condemn the attacks and his government failed to provide proper protection even though a similar attack had been launched against the Israeli embassy.
The Egyptian media has been stoking the flames of this conflict and Morsi recently took control of the media and appointed Muslim Brotherhood loyalists to head state-owned media outlets. That means there is a high probability that the Muslim Brotherhood directed this attack or at the very least used propaganda to set it in motion.
Obama is handing a cool billion to Morsi, but the Muslim Brotherhood is still conducting protests against America. The Arabic Muslim Brotherhood site contains a call from the Jordanian Muslim Brotherhood calls for “official and popular levels of action to stop this crime against Islam.” While the English Ikhwan site has put up a condemnation of the Benghazi attack, no such condemnation exists on the Arabic Ikhwan site.
