Glorious weekend / Thousands hear the Word of God through Christian Radio in QLD

Worshipping Jesus in QldPastor Daniel interviewed by Steve on Rhema Radio in QldDear family & friends in Christ,

We thank and praise our mighty Saviour for opening the door for Pastor Daniel to speak on Radio Rhema in the Sunshine Coast QLD for more than 2 ½ hours on Saturday night. God used this radio broadcast to challenge thousands of Christians and non-Christians across Queensland. Many attended the meetings at the church where he was ministering on Sunday as a result of the broadcast.

Pastor Daniel stated, “I have done so many media interviews, but this was possibly the best one I have ever done, as I had the opportunity to cover many areas in depth to help people understand the name of Jesus and also clear any misconceptions they had regarding myself and CTFM.   I was so thrilled to hear all the positive feedback from many people over the last few days following the broadcast.”

One lady on Sunday came to the meeting with her mother and daughter.  She was driving her car after work on Saturday night, when she suddenly tuned into the radio station.   She said, “I just was so mightily touched.  I started sobbing and crying in the car and could hardly drive.  We have not been to church for 20 years.  We decided to come to church today and have been tremendously blessed.”

Pastor Daniel meets ex-satanist from Mount Ainslie in Canberra

Pastor Daniel and Steve united in the LordSteve confronting Pastor Daniel on Mount AinslieDear family & friends in Christ,
 
I thank my Lord and Saviour every day for the young man who was once a Satanist, but was born again after the spiritual warfare prayer operation on Mount Ainslie in Canberra last October 2009.

 

This proves that God loves every single person, no matter who they are or what they have done, He will still forgive them of all their sin as He died for us all  (John 3:16).
 
I am sure you have all heard about this young man who was very angry and hostile towards us on Mount Ainslie last year in October 2009 when we carried out a major spiritual warfare prayer assault against Satan and his demonic powers of darkness over our capital city of Canberra and nation of Australia.  This young man at that point was a Satanist and led the anti-God mob against us right through the whole prayer operation.
 
Glory to God for miraculously opening the door for me to communicate via email with this young man, named Steve, who sometime in February this year 2010 gave his life to Jesus! I know many of you have being praying for him and I thank you so much for doing so.
 
In April during the revival meetings in Canberra, I along with my friend Pastor Glenn, met up with Steve at his home. This was the first time that I met him after he became a born-again Christian. I spent around 1 hour 10 minutes with him and oh how wonderful it was to sit next to a guy who was formerly on the other side (the dark side with Satan) and now we were both on the same side (in the light with Jesus)!

2 Exciting Prophetic Words for Australia from Heidi Baker and Kathy Walters

Kathy WaltersRolland and Heidi BakerDear friends and family in Christ in Australia,

Following are 2 very exciting prophetic words for the Body of Christ in Australia, regarding great revival and harvest, by Heidi Baker and Kathy Walters from the USA.

Let’s continue to prayerfully trust the Father in Heaven for the fulfilment of these prophetic words from these great women of God!

Prophetic word for Australia given by Heidi Baker in Sydney at Jubilee International Church on March 16th 2010
 
“I have a word over Australia. I just feel like the river of God’s glory is increasing in this nation. I see Revelation 22; the river coming from the throne and of the lamb. I feel like God is going to increase His glory and his love and I feel like the way Australians are going to come to the Lord by the 1000’s and the 10’s of thousands they are going to come as the church lives like a family. And I see churches becoming homes of the loving believer. I see people being set free to be who they are.
 
I feel like fathers and mothers are going to be raised up and the lost children of Australia are going to come home to the Father and I feel like it’s as brothers and sisters, mothers and fathers, grandmothers and grandfathers and even little children go, go out to the streets, to the highways and the byways out, out, out, the Lord is sending you out, out, out and as you stop for the one, as you stop for the one in front of you, and you spend time with them, He says love looks like something, it looks like you spending time, like you drinking coffee with them, like you sitting in the park with them, like you embracing them in their loneliness and God is going to send the church out as lovers.
 
He says the river of His glory love is increasing and he says the nets will increase as the body of Christ networks together for the harvest. He says He is looking for a body that will be woven together by the love of God past denominations and movements, He said it will be past denominations and one brother will serve one another and sister a brother.

South Africa Hosts the Global Day of Prayer 2010

By Success Kanayo Uchime – Special to ASSIST News Service (ANS) – Friday, March 12, 2010

CAPE TOWN, SOUTH AFRICA (ANS) — Aside from the hosting of the famous FIFA soccer World Cup this June, South Africa is also making serious plans to host the world in the Global Day of Prayer (GDOP) as it celebrates 10 years of leading the world to pray.

It is slated to take place on Sunday, May 23, 2010, at Newlands Rugby Stadium, Cape Town, South Africa – the venue where it all started!

Speaking on the forthcoming event, Mark Anderson, President of the Global Pastors Network (GPN) and Call2All, said that last year, the Global Day of Prayer movement which was founded by South African businessman, Graham Power, has successfully mobilized every nation on earth to gather in large crowds and small groups to pray simultaneously on the same day.

He stated: “There is no doubt that the rising surge of the Global Prayer Movement and the accelerated Global Missions has become the greatest strategic alliance of our time. With Call2all in partnership with the Global Day of Prayer, I am inviting you to join me at the Cape Town International Convention Center for Missions and Business Network pre-conference and Network sessions, from May 19-22.”  (more…)

Some great testimonies of God’s mighty hand at work in Australia / Ps Daniel in QLD 8th-9th May

Dear family & friends in Christ,

We thank and praise the Lord for His mighty presence and wonderful love being poured out upon our nation of Australia, this Great South Land of the Holy Spirit!

During this past weekend at the meetings in Hallam (Melbourne) many lives were mightily touched by the Spirit of God, including 2 precious souls that were added into the Kingdom of God as they surrendered their lives to Jesus!

Pas Daniel preached the Word of God on Blessing and Judgment.  He stated that the church in general in Australia has lost the reverential fear of a holy and righteous God, and as a result the nation does not fear the Lord God Almighty as it once did. He spoke on Acts Chapter 4 & 5, where the body of Christ was in great unity and revival as many were experiencing the power and presence of God.  However, then Ananias & Sapphira lied to the Holy Spirit and were struck dead.

This exciting, very challenging and thought provoking message will be available soon on DVD. You can order your copy now ($20 includes postage) by emailing Angelene at angelene@reformationharvestfire.com or by calling the CTFM office on 03 9794 8211.

Following are 4 encouraging testimonies that we received over the last several weeks. (more…)

Reality Check: Don’t Forget Your Persecuted Brothers

Tuesday, 16 March 2010 – J. Lee Grady Newsletters – Fire In My Bones 

Last week many of our brothers and sisters lost their lives for Christ. How should we respond to the cry of the martyrs?

Last week while millions of Americans crammed into theaters to see Alice in Wonderland in 3-D, many Christians in other parts of the world were attacked, raped or killed for the cause of the gospel.

This past weekend I received an urgent message from my friend Christopher Alam, a U.S.-based evangelist, who was writing from Southeast Asia to inform me of a terrible atrocity in Myanmar.

“As long as our brothers and sisters are dying for Christ in other nations, we cannot take off our armor or live in a fantasy world of prosperity and instant blessing.” (more…)

Son of Hamas Founder Shares Faith Journey, Reveals He Spied for Israel in New Book

Son of Hamas Founder now following Christ02 March 2010 – Ken Walker – Featured News Charisma Online
  
The son of a Hamas founder whose Christian conversion made international headlines released the complete story of his faith journey Tuesday in a memoir brimming with spy-novel-like drama.

Son of Hamas by Mosab Hassan Yousef details a six-year-long conversion process that originated with a Bible study in Jerusalem and resulted in his departure from the Islamic terrorist organization. He was baptized in 2005 near Tel Aviv in a ceremony performed by a San Diego woman visiting the church that Yousef attended.

The 31-year-old says his faith has sustained him ever since, particularly since leaving his homeland in 2007. The pain of separation is better understood when one reads his account of the lifelong, close-knit ties forged by Palestinian families.

“Whenever I compare my pain to [Christ’s], I forget my pain,” said Yousef, who lives on the West Coast.

“When I feel alone in this journey, I know that He feels with me because He went through much worse. Every step I get closer to the cross I learn more about His sacrifice and pain, which absolutely makes me forget about my pain.” (more…)

Report on Options Plus Care Orientation Day – Pregnancy Crisis Counselling

Counsellors watching a live ultrasoundCounsellors at Options Plus Care Orientation Dear family & friends in Christ,

 

Around 100,000 babies are aborted every year in Australia.

 

We at CTFM thank the Lord for every single person who has been working tirelessly to reduce this number and we continue to pray against the legalisation and practice of abortion.

 

No one thought that the slave trade would stop, but thanks to William Wilberforce and others it did. So too, we pray the same regarding the ending of abortion.

 

I know we all need to pray and lobby our politicians, but what is equally important is to help these people not to have an abortion through counselling and supporting them. Yes, this is what Options + Care is all about. Even if someone decides to have an abortion after counselling, we will continue to love and help them as much as possible. 

 

Thank you so much for your prayer and practical support as the Options + Care Orientation Day on 17th April was a great success. Pas Daniel shared the vision that God gave him in 1998 while he was in the USA to be a Voice for the Voiceless. Sister Geraldine, the coordinator for O+C , shared her heart and passion to save the next generation of children in Australia. Then the team watched a very challenging DVD titled ‘After The Choice’ that included a group of women talking about what happened after their abortions. There was not a dry eye in the place as everyone watched these ladies share how they all suffered in silence for many years and pleaded with others not to have an abortion. (more…)

Many pray in Tongues for the first time, Healings & Salvations as Holy Spirit fire falls in Bellingen (Coffs Harbour), Canberra, & Hallam (Melbourne)

Praying at the altarSome of the youth were baptised in the Holy SpiritDear family & friends in Christ in Australia and around the World,

1) What an amazing weekend it has been with exciting reports coming in from 3 different locations across Australia of God’s mighty presence transforming lives over the ANZAC weekend!

Pas Daniel ministered in Bellingen in NSW on Saturday night and at 3 services on Sunday as many people travelled from the surrounding country towns of Newcastle, Kempsey, Eungia Rail, Macksville, Nambucca Heads, Urunga, Coffs Harbour, Torminna, and Dorrigo to catch the revival fire of the Holy Spirit  as God moved so powerfully in radically transforming lives for Jesus at all the meetings!

On Saturday night the service went on for almost 5 hours! On Sunday night 17 people (mostly youth and teenagers) responded to the altar call to receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit and within 7 minutes 14 of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and started praying in tongues for the very first time in their lives! Pas Daniel stated, “The youth were so excited, they were jumping for joy. This brought so much joy to my heart. This is the next generation being empowered to rise up for Jesus!”

A young man, who was known to some in the church as a real rascal in town, walked off the street into one of the meetings. He was radically touched by God and gave his life to Jesus on Saturday night. Pas Daniel prayed over him and gave him a BIG HUG. This somewhat surprised the young man and then he received a prophetic Word from the Lord. The next night he came for the meeting, sat through the whole service, then responded to the altar call for prayer, was filled with the Holy Spirit and prayed in tongues! He then approached Pas Daniel and gave him a hug. Glory to God as the supernatural transformation of this young man happened in just 24 hours! What a mighty God we serve! (more…)

God’s definition of ‘family’

by Greg Laurie – March 13, 2010

In my last column, I made a case for a biblical worldview, based on the watershed truth that there is a living God, and He has revealed Himself in Scripture.

With this in mind, we can ready ourselves to discuss some of the more controversial, “hot-button” issues in our culture today.

Going back to the Ten Commandments, you may remember that this list of 10 can be divided into two sections. The first four commands deal with man’s relationship with God, and the second six speak to man’s relationship with man. It is that second grouping of commandments in Exodus 20 that will speak most clearly to our “hot button” issues.

Verse 12: “Honor your father and mother …”

Isn’t it interesting … before a word is spoken about how to treat others, God starts with the family. (more…)

European Union Moves to Defend Persecuted Christians

Friday, February 26, 2010 – By Michael Ireland Chief Correspondent, ASSIST News Service 

Visit our web site at: www.assistnews.net — E-mail: assistnews@aol.com

WASHINGTON, D.C, (ANS) — The European Union (EU) has established a working group to protect persecuted Christians and prepare a manual for embassies of member states regarding the treatment of persecuted Christian minorities.

According to International Christian Concern (ICC) www.persecution.org, Italy’s Foreign Minister, Franco Frattini, in an interview yesterday with the Italian daily newspaper Avvenire said, “We could promote a group of like-minded countries who take to heart the right of Christians to profess their faith anywhere in the world. …You see, Christians have never had a political group offering them strong support through their governments.”

ICC reported that the Foreign Minister also stated that his country will hold an international conference on religious freedom this year and will soon introduce a resolution at the United Nations General Assembly regarding the rights of Christians. (more…)

Canberra Revival for Jesus – Amazing Testimonies of Healings, Supernatural Dreams, Visions & Encounters with Angels

Woman healed of spine problemMan healed from hip problems and gives life to JesusDear family & friends in Christ in Australia and around the World,
 
Over the past several weeks the increasing outpouring of God’s Holy Spirit in Canberra, Australia has been experienced by many hundreds of people from all walks of life! On some nights at the revival crowds of up to 300 people packed the hall at Canberra High School.
 
Once again Monday night was glorious with spiritually thirsty people drinking from the river of God’s Presence while praising and worshipping Him for several hours at the altar!
 
Pas Daniel said, “It was like an army that had just won a battle, celebrating its victory, and on its way to Praying at the altarclaim a nation! I was so blessed to see so many young people absolutely drunk with the new wine of the Spirit of God, worshipping the Lord so freely with tears streaming down their cheeks.”
 
Many at the revival meetings in Canberra received prophetic words from the Lord. On Monday night there was a real anointing for spiritual battle and the people stepped right into intercessory warfare for Australia. There was also an amazing sense of God’s Agape Love pouring out into everyone present as people hugged each other as one big family.

Many testified of having supernatural dreams and visions over the past few nights, including Angels being empowered in the heavens to triumph over Satan’s demonic powers of darkness, bringing great revival and transformation to Australia! They saw that the corporate worship and praise given from the united body of Christ to the Lord Jesus Christ was a key for the Angelic hosts of heaven to be further equipped and empowered to reclaim Australia for Jesus!
