Dear family & friends in Christ in Australia and around the World,
Maybe you are already aware of this very disturbing news for the family of Evangelist Benny Hinn, which I’m sure has shaken the global Body of Christ from all denominations and cultures, especially Christian families throughout the nations of the world.
We are so sad for this mighty man of God and his dear wife. Please continue to pray for them.Â
Truly, Satan and his demonic hordes from hell have unleashed an unprecedented attack to destroy Christian marriages and families in these perilous end time battles before the 2nd Coming of the King of kings and LORD of lords! Revelation 12:11
All Christian marriages and families need to unceasingly pray and spend more quality time together with one another and the Lord!

Christianity is being wiped out from public life in the name of equality, the Archbishop of York said yesterday.
Dr John Sentamu accused politicians and others of trying to sideline religion by promoting their false idea of ‘tolerance’.
He cited Labour’s equality laws as an attack on the freedoms of churches.
Attempts to denigrate church schools and ban the mention of Christmas in favour of bland ‘Winterval’ celebrations were also part of a drive to censor Christianity, he said.
The Archbishop’s comments followed the Pope’s unprecedented attack on Harriet Harman’s Equality Bill earlier this week.
Benedict XVI called the proposed legislation ‘unjust’, saying it restricted religious freedom and violated ‘the natural law’Â -Â in other words, Christian teaching.
The Golden Report – Jerry Golden from Jerusalem, Israel – 14th February 2010
We have an enemy that is unstoppable and must be recognized as our foe and not our friend. That enemy is time, and the longer Israel waits to attack Iran, Lebanon, Syria, Hezbollah and Hamas the more likely it is that we will have to take on others such as Egypt – and consequently more Jews will die in Israeli cities.Â
America has a problem much like ours here in Israel. If the freedom loving citizens of the US don’t rise up against the Obama administration’s destruction of the Constitution they will soon lose the liberties they so cherish. Time is not on their side, the enemy has diabolically been planning the destruction of the Jews as well as the United States.
All hell is about to break loose and we all know it, but seem to be powerless to do anything about it.  Pray as we may, God’s prophetic Word will come to pass regardless of human events..Â

Government Claims to Know Whereabouts of German Family and British Engineer
The government of Yemen has started negotiations for the release of six Christian hostages.
A German family of five and a British engineer are held captive in the Northern province of Saada, according to foreign minister Abu Bakr al-Qirbi. He was quoted by the German television channel ARD.
Johannes and Sabine Hentschel (both 37) and their children Lydia (5), Anna (3) and Simon (1) as well as the engineer were kidnapped six months ago during an outing near Saada. They were with two German Bible school students and a South Korean teacher. They were found murdered on June 12. The nine Christians had been working at the Al Jumhuri hospital in Saada.

General Georges Sada, a former air force fighter pilot who once served as a senior military advisor to Saddam Hussein, is one of thousands of Iraqis who have become followers of the Lord Jesus Christ.
The remarkable testimony of General Sada was passed on to me by a former Frontline Fellowship mission worker, John Michael, who is working as a security advisor in Iraq. John Michael writes: “With all the negative and extremely disturbing violent news coming out of the Middle East, there is good news. Where there is conflict, there needs to be sober examination of our own faith as we are put to the test. Our purpose and meaning to life must be scrutinized. What is overwhelmingly obvious is that those who promote freedom and respect towards others are expressing their own personal faith in the God of the Bible. However, when confronting a religious system that lives for, and thrives on, violent conflict in Jihad with suicidal martyrdom seen as the only assurance of salvation, the question remains – what is the purpose of living? The hope for a peaceful and blessed life is really limited when such an extremely violent death is sought after. This raises some really disturbing questions about such a religious system, which has so little respect for humanity and life in general.â€
“Religion can be a curse or a blessing. There is the God who blesses with life in all its abundance, and there is the god who steals, deceives, kills and destroys. It becomes as clear as the day when Elijah confronted the false prophets of Baal on Mount Carmel. The power of God was revealed with fire from on high showing who the true God was (1 Kings 18). This spectacular demonstration of God’s power, awe and might is now clearly on display in Iraq for all the world to see who really is the one true God.â€
Dear family & friends in Christ in Australia and around th
e World,
We thank our faithful Father in heaven for an amazing unity in the Body of Christ at the National Australia Day Prayer Gathering in Melbourne, buzzing with more than 3 hours of Holy Spirit empowered prayer, praise and worship to the reigning King of kings and Lord of lords, our Lord Jesus Christ!
Between 750-800 Christians from many churches, denominations, generations, and ethnicities (many travelling from interstate and some from overseas) packed the Springvale City Hall in Melbourne, Australia to pray for this Great South Land of the Holy Spirit! Many brought their Australian flags with them and waved them throughout the entire service declaring ‘Australia for Jesus’!
The CTF
M worship team led the interdenominational Christian prayer gathering in ushering in the manifest glory of God’s awesome and holy presence, as God’s people passionate for Australia’s transformation, joined hearts and hands in Kingdom unity to worship King Jesus!
The 20+ denominational representatives from the Salvation Army, CRC, Catholic Charismatic, Baptist, Anglican,
AOG, Seventh Day Adventist, Uniting, Indigenous, and Christian ministry representatives from Culturewatch, Catch the Fire, Australian Marketplace Connections, Gospel Ministry, and Salt Shakers, led their prayer segment with the passion, fire, and love of Jesus for our nation of Australia, to absolutely storm heaven in prayer, standing on the sure promise of God’s Word from 2 Chronicles 7:13-14. We asked the Lord to protect Australia from natural disasters, especially during this bushfire season. There was also much intercessory and prophetic prayer for Rain, Farmers, Persecuted Church Worldwide, Government, Harvest of Lost Souls, Armed Forces, Pastors & Unity in the Body of Christ, Families, Children & Youth, Business & Marketplace, Indigenous People, and additional critical issues in the Kingdom of God. The Samoan Choir stirred up the crowd with 2 special songs of exuberant praise and worship!

Immigration must be urgently curbed to stop the population hitting 70million and causing ‘serious harm’ to society, an alliance of leading public figures demanded yesterday.
The call to action comes in a report signed by a host of respected names, including former Archbishop of Canterbury Lord Carey, ex-Labour speaker Betty Boothroyd and former Tory Party chairman Michael Ancram.
The cross-party group wants manifesto commitments from Labour and the Conservatives to cut net migration to fewer than 40,000 a year – compared to the current rate of 163,000.
This is the reduction to net migration – the number of immigrants arriving in the UK, minus those leaving – needed to stop the population reaching 70million within the next two decades.
Media release – For immediate release
On Australia Day January 26 at 10.30am, an expected crowd of 1000 Christians from different churches, denominations, ethnicities, and states will gather at Springvale Town Hall, 397 Springvale Rd Springvale in Melbourne to pray for God’s protection over Australia during this bushfire season.
Catch the Fire Ministries President, Pastor Daniel Nalliah who will also be conferred with an Honorary Doctorate of Divinity Degree from Saint Thomas Christian College in Jacksonville, Florida USA for his work to secure freedom of speech in Australia and his ongoing stand for Christian values, said he had been alerted to the atheists protests by the venue planners, but would not allow the atheists to hijack the prayers or detract from the purpose of praying for Australia.
The special guest speaker Reverend Dr Zamekio Jackson who oversees the U.S. Christian College, as well as more than 300 churches across the U.S., and who has personally witnessed many supernatural miracles following prayer, will be travelling with his prayer team from America to deliver a special message to Australians.
“We’re expecting extraordinary things in the Spirit of God to happen on Australia Day. The City of Greater Dandenong Council who operates the Springvale Town Hall have informed us that atheists have been in contact with them to notify them of proposed protests, but also to let us know that they will call the police if the protests get out of hand. We Christians will not be distracted by the atheists. We’re there to pray for the nation of Australia and if the atheists’ intention is to hijack the event, it’s not going to happen. We love the atheists because Jesus, who is our prime example, loves the atheists. They and anyone for that matter is most welcome to enter the town hall and hear about God’s supernatural miracles around the world in answer to the prayers of His people,†Pastor Nalliah said.
Saturday, November 21, 2009 – Washington Times – Julia Duin
More than 150 leaders across a spectrum of conservative Christianity on Friday released a 4,700-word document vowing civil disobedience if they are forced to take part in “anti-life acts” or bless gay marriages.
Called the “Manhattan Declaration,” the six-page, single-spaced document was drafted by Prison Fellowship founder Charles Colson, an evangelical, and Princeton University professor Robert P. George, a Roman Catholic, and included a bevy of Catholic, Anglican and Orthodox bishops, archbishops and cardinals as signatories along with dozens of clergy and laity.
Archbishop of Washington Donald W. Wuerl is one of the signatories.
“Throughout the centuries, Christianity has taught that civil disobedience is not only permitted, but sometimes required,” says the document which cited civil rights icon Martin Luther King and his willingness to go to jail for his beliefs. (more…)
Chuck Norris WorldNetDaily Exclusive – December 28, 2009
In my last column, “Away with the manger,” I predicted that the religious content of President Obama’s Christmas address to the nation was going to be the weakest in presidential history.
I also mentioned that, in the first year of his presidency, “Every time President Obama has had an opportunity to stand for Christianity in any way, he has not only denied it but disdained it.” Any chance he has to dive deeper into its creed, he rises to the surface and changes the subject.
I was correct on both accounts, and he proved it (again) last week.
But never did I expect to hear Obama during Christmas week dodge children on the main message of Christmas and then teach them a revised version.

Overjoyed and relieved that the decision was in his favor, pastor also says he “felt a bit of righteous anger because for seven and a half years of my life I’ve been dragged through the mud over a community debate that existed in Red Deer, Alberta, which ended up going global because of one complaint. However, that one complaint gave me a soap box to share the Gospel and to share what my letter really meant, instead of how it’s been misinterpreted, and given me the chance to speak to many, many homosexuals about the incredible love of God.”
(Calgary, Canada)—The Christian pastor who was hauled before the Alberta Human Rights Tribunal (AHRT) for writing a letter to the editor on homosexuality has been exonerated by a Court of Queen’s Bench judge who ruled the letter was not a hate crime but legitimate expression allowed under freedom of speech. Pastor Stephen Boissoin told LifeSiteNews.com (LSN) that he was “overjoyed and relieved” that the lengthy, stressful and expensive seven year legal battle over his letter to the editor has ended in his favor.

A former imperial wizard of the Ku Klux Klan is now an ordained minister in one of the nation’s largest African-American denominations.
Johnny Lee Clary was ordained a minister in the 6 million-member Church of God in Christ (COGIC) on Saturday during a service led by Bishop George McKinney, pastor of St. Stephen’s Cathedral Church of God in Christ in San Diego and a member of COGIC’s 12-member general board.
Clary, who is based in Oklahoma, will serve as an evangelist under McKinney’s oversight, and his ministry will emphasize racial reconciliation.
Dear family and friends in Christ,
Â
Political correctness is the work of the devil and will lead to the downfall of western nations unless we Christians stand up and be counted. Our brothers and sisters are being persecuted,terrorised, raped, tortured, murdered under the banner of Islam!
Â
We need to ask the questions in the following email from Bill Warner of every Muslim we know and or meet. We need to stand firm on the Word of God and share the love of Jesus with them! Even their own book the Koran speaks a lot about Jesus, that He performed miracles, healed sick people and raised the dead back to life! However, the Koran never states that Mohammed did anything even similar to the miraculous works of Jesus!
Â
Action is needed, particularly in effective fervent prayer.

White House guest: President planned to break tradition with ‘non-religious Christmas’
The Obama administration sought to ban baby Jesus from the executive mansion as part of its plans for a “non-religious Christmas,” according to a participant at a White House luncheon.
In its Dec. 4 issue, the New York Times published an article highlighting accomplishments of Desirée Rogers, the new White House social secretary.
Rogers, a woman who markets what she refers to as the “Obama brand,” is responsible for every event that takes place in the White House.
“Her job is to carry out the vision of the president and first lady, and to make their social events reflect their sensibilities,” the Times reported.
As part of that mission, a participant at a White House luncheon for former social secretaries said Rogers announced that the Obamas were planning a “non-religious Christmas.”
