A Baby Boy Raised from the Dead

Dan Wooding : Apr 26, 2012 : ASSIST News Service

“I felt God speaking to me saying: ‘He has the right to live’. So, immediately, I put my hand over him, and started to pray…”

(Montevideo, Uruguay)—Dr. Marta Martínez is a respected doctor from Montevideo, Uruguay, who believes that God still heals the sick today. And she should know, for in an interview, Dr. Martinez told me about an extraordinary miracle that she witnessed and was personally involved with.

Dr Marta“I experienced this miracle some years ago, while I was working in a hospital in one small city, far from the capital city,” she said. “It concerned a baby who was about one month old and his mother was an adolescent and very poor.

“The baby boy had come to the hospital in a very bad condition, with malnutrition, dehydration and septicemia. There appeared to be nothing we could to do for him. Finally he died. While I was present, watching him at the moment of the death, I thought: ‘It is better for him to die, because in his environment, with his kind of family, he would have not any chance of success, the rest of his life would be a ‘Calvary’, with a lack of hope and no opportunities’.

“At that moment, I felt God speaking to me saying: ‘He has the right to live’. So, immediately, I put my hand over him, and started to pray and thank God he was ‘resurrected’—he came back to life! It was an amazing miracle.”

Dr. Martinez went on to say that the baby was then sent to “a better hospital” in Montevideo called “Filtro” for further treatment.

Happy Mothers Day to all you wonderful Mums!

Happy Mothers Day!Dear Mums,

May I take this opportunity to say a BIG THANK YOU to all you wonderful Mums. We love you very much and pray that God will continue to protect you and guide you for the rest of your life.

I always thank God for Mums, because my mum prayed me into salvation, and I also thank Him for blessing me with such a great wife who has been a wonderful Mum to our children.

A Mums work never seems to end. From the time she gets up until the time she goes to bed, she has so much work to be done.  She is always there meeting the needs of her family.

I would encourage everyone to celebrate your Mum, because I suppose it takes a Mum to understand what it’s like to be a Mum.

Rise Up Good Soldiers for Jesus / Former Mormon receives Lord at CTFM

Dear family & friends in Christ,

1) Glory to God for another amazing weekend in His glorious presence!

On Sunday past, Pr Daniel preached on the 3 categories of people in the church, the Visionaries, the Leaders and the Followers. He used the story of Moses leading the people out of bondage into freedom.

Pr Daniel stated, “Where there is no vision people perish. Where there is vision people are always excited as they know that they have a cause to fight for. Where there is vision there is a mission to accomplish and you will see people with great passion following the visionary.

Moses had a great encounter with God at the burning bush, where he received the vision to set His people, who were captives, free from Egypt. This started off a great journey to lead Israel into freedom.

Have you had a real encounter with God?? We need to set the captives free!!

Moses encountered many challenges. He was challenged from the outside by Pharaoh and the Egyptians. He also faced challenges from within, including his own leaders and the Israelites. No matter who challenges you, if God has called you and appointed you for the task, you must stand up and be a good soldier for Jesus with boldness, guts and love.

Healing, Salvations and Mighty Outpouring of the Holy Spirit / Live Webcast CTFM Sun 6th May / RUA Prayer Melbourne Fri 5th May

Dear family & friends in Christ,

1) Over the past weekend Brother Johnny Lee Clary ministered at the CTFM base in Hallam. Many people from across Melbourne came to hear this man of God share his powerful testimony of his journey from being the KKK (Ku Klux Clan) leader to becoming a Christian Minister of the Gospel who loves all people.

Many responded to the altar call for salvation and to rededicate their lives to Jesus. People were very blessed to hear a preacher preach the uncompromising word of God boldly and passionately. Many stated, “It is so great to hear someone preach the truth with such love!”

Pr Daniel ministered over the weekend in 2 different churches in Naracoorte and Bordertown, SA. Pr Gary, his wife Lynn and bro Tony from CTFM accompanied him on this trip. Many people gathered at every service and were mightily blessed by the presence and Word of God.

One lady brought her friend and husband, who had cancer, all the way from Mt Gambier, to the Holy Spirit revival meeting. They arrived one hour before the service and wanted prayer, as the husband could not stay for the service because of his condition. After spending some time with them, Pr Daniel prayed, rebuked the cancer, then told this man to stay for the service.

Well, what’s most interesting was that this brother who could not sit up for long, stayed for the whole service which lasted more than 3 hours! At the end of the meeting he came up again for prayer and told Pr Daniel, “Round one was so good, I have come up for round two.” He looked much brighter and cheerful. We are trusting God for his complete healing.

One lady testified as to how her daughter who lives in the Coffs Harbor area had attended a meeting awhile ago when Pr Daniel had ministered in Bellingen, NSW.  She had received prayer because she was suffering with fibromyalgia. After she was prayed for she was completely healed by the power of God. What a mighty God we serve!

There was also great excitement amongst the people when they heard about Rise Up Australia Party (Keep Australia Australian) and many immediately signed up as members.

Pr Daniel stated, “I am greatly encouraged at the level of interest shown by many people in South Australia in embracing Rise Up Australia Party. I am now confident that we can set up a State Executive Team for RUA Party and run candidates in SA.”

Melbourne’s Fed Square “Undeniable” Celebration

Dear friends and family in Christ,

We’re posting the following report from Kirsten Jack in regard to the great success of the recent ‘Undeniable’ event at Federation Square in Melbourne on Sun 15th April.

Truly, Jesus is Lord over Melbourne, all of Australia and the Nations of the World!

Dear Friend,

We’re so excited to report about the ‘Undeniable’ event!

Praise God it was perfect weather, for a 7:30pm start at Fed Square. Around 2-3000 people turned up, with over 100 atheists from the Global Atheist Convention. A number of churches cancelled their Sunday night services to be there, and heaps of other churches, denominations and ministries were represented.

Our message to the city of Melbourne was that “we know God is real because He has changed our lives”. We had around 80 helpers in white t-shirts with the words “ask me my story”, who talked and prayed with people in the crowd. There were healings, deliverance, repentance and HEAPS of conversations and prayer with atheists and others. (more…)

Very Successful RUA Party Vic Candidate Orientation Day / CTFM Credentials more Ministers of Fire / Rev Johnny Lee Clary ministering in Hallam, Melbourne

Dear family & friends in Christ,

We thank and praise God for His wonderful presence, which makes the difference in people’s lives!

Without Jesus, where would we be?

1) On Saturday the 21st of April the first Candidate Orientation Day for Rise Up Australia Party (Keep Australia Australian) for the state of Victoria was held at the RUA Party office in Hallam.

We were so thankful to God to see as many as 30 potential candidates turn up for the day from across Victoria. RUA Party will be running a full ticket in Victoria and most other states in the 2013 Federal Election.

Those who attended the Orientation Day were men and women with a great passion to see change in our government and nation and are willing to do anything to make this happen.

Pr Daniel stated, “Certainly, I see a revolution led by love for a national reformation beginning to happen all across Australia.  I know that RUA Party is a part of His battle strategy to take back Australia!”

On Sunday before the service at CTFM in Hallam, a young couple who were into drugs, etc. came to church and met with Pr Daniel. After ministering to them for some time, he led them both to the Lord, and then they joined in for

At the Sunday evening Credentialing Service at CTFM, 10 brothers and sisters in Christ were ordained into the Fivefold Ministry to advance the Kingdom of God in power and authority in Jesus Name. There were 4 from QLD, 1 from SA, 1 from WA and 4 from Vic who received their ministry credentials from Catch The Fire ministries. Pr Daniel, his wife Maryse, along with the CTFM Pastoral Team, Board Members and Elders laid hands on these wonderful men and women of God who were ordained, and prayed and prophesied over them.

Former KKK Leader Johnny Lee Clary at CTFM in Melbourne this Sun 29th April / Reminder of cancellation of Anzac Day Rally at Vic Parliament

Dear friends and family in Christ,

1) For those of you in the Melbourne area, we are pleased to announce that Rev Elder Johnny Lee Cleary (Ex-National Leader of the Ku Klux Klan) will be ministering the Word of the Lord in the miracle working power of the Holy Spirit this Sunday 29th April at 9:30am & 6:30pm at CTFM Apostolic Centre at 23 Melverton Dr in Hallam.

Johnny Lee Clary learned to hate at a very young age. He was raised in a family filled with racism, anger, and bigotry. As the Klan’s national leader, the destructive mindset and lifestyle he had lived for so many years began to take its toll. Riddled with torment, Johnny Lee left the Klan. On the verge of committing suicide one night, he started reading the Bible and cried out to God to deliver him from his nightmarish existence.

After dedicating his life to Christ, he has become a renowned international speaker and has set records for the largest crowds for any preacher in Australia other than Billy Graham, with literally thousands receiving his message of hope, healing and forgiveness for racism, low self-esteem, suicidal tendencies, and substance abuse. Johnny holds the record for the largest crowd ever at Hillsong Brisbane (formerly Garden City).

Holy Spirit Revolution in the Gold Coast / CTFM Credentialing Service & Live Webcast Sun evening 22nd April

Dear family & friends in Christ,

1) All glory to God for this past weekend as Pr Daniel ministered the prophetic Word of the Lord at 2 different churches on the Gold Coast, QLD where the fire of the Holy Ghost fell most powerfully!

We thank God for many hungry souls which were delivered, set free and healed by the mighty presence of God! Some people came to the altar and surrendered their lives to Jesus for the first time!

At one church, there were around 300 people that erupted with shouts of joy and clapping as Pr Daniel shared the Word of God and then spoke about Rise Up Australia Party! The people were so very excited to hear the news of a political party which was committed to protect Australia, its Judeo-Christian heritage and to keep ‘Australia Australian’.

Many responded to the altar call at both churches and were mightily blessed by the power and presence of God. The Pastor of the church was so touched that he got up and challenged the people to support RUA Party in the next federal election. Many took up membership with the party just after the service and so many others were willing to help in any way possible.

Pr Daniel stated, “I was so blessed to see the excitement in the house of God in hearing of RUA Party. In particular, to see both Pastors being totally available to help and support. Also the way they personally promoted the party. I believe that this is God’s timing for a change in the political leadership and direction of Australia, especially with the departure of the Greens Party leader Bob Brown from politics. Also many media personalities and politicians predicting the ‘beginning of the end of the Greens’.

I believe that God is preparing the way for RUA Party to play a major role in government in the near future. Glory to God. Do not believe the lie that church and politics should not mix. If we the church do not take a stand now, our nation is heading for absolute disaster.”

Entire Mosques Coming to Christ in Sub-Saharan Africa, Says Former Church Planter

By Michelle A. Vu , Christian Post Reporter – Tuesday, Mar 27, 2012

The idea of more than 200,000 former Muslims coming to faith in Sub-Saharan Africa within a few short years is mind-boggling. But entire mosques in Sub-Saharan Africa coming to faith? That news is even harder to wrap one’s mind around, but it is in fact what is happening according to reports from a former church planter among Muslims in West Africa.

In the new book Miraculous Movements, Jerry Trousdale, now director of International Ministries for CityTeam International, records amazing and inspiring stories of faith among Muslim communities in Africa. The author opens up a new world to Western readers, taking them into the heart of the “miraculous movement” of God in Africa that is transforming the hearts of Muslims.

Trousdale writes that “unprecedented” events are happening among the Muslim populations that his ministry and its affiliates are working among, including:

• Multiple cases of entire mosques coming to faith
• Thousands of ordinary men and women being used by God to achieve seemingly impossible outcomes
• Tens of thousands of Muslim background Christians becoming dedicated intercessors who fast and pray for the gospel to penetrate the next community
• Muslim people groups that never had even one church among them now have more than fifty church planted, and in some cases more than one hundred churches – within two years of engagement
• Former sheikhs, imams and militant Islamists making up 20 percent or more of the new Christian leaders in Muslim regions

“We had seven years now in Africa. And of the people in Africa, 81 different people groups that have at least 50 percent Muslim have now significant movements among them. Of those 81, 45 are people groups with 99 or 100 percent Muslim,” said Trousdale in an interview with CP. “So we are talking about fairly extreme areas of Islamic influence. These are people who have been Islamic for well over a hundred years, some hundreds of years.”

Open Doors: Growth of Christianity in Iran ‘Explosive’

The Christian Post Middle East Sunday, Mar 25, 2012

Despite the Iranian government’s ongoing crackdown of Christians living in the primarily Islamic country, the number of Muslims converting to become Christians is growing at an explosive rate, according to the persecution watchdog group Open Doors USA.

There is even talk of witnessing a Christian revival, especially among young people living in the country, say Open Doors ministry workers in the Middle East.

A house church movement within Iran is part of that revival and has triggered “many secret meetings.” The growth in the number of Christians is happening in all regions, but mostly in larger cities, say Open Doors workers in the region.

Iran is ranked 5th on the Open Doors 2012 World Watch List of the top 50 worst persecutors of Christians.

“Open Doors workers think that the growth of Christianity has everything to do with Iranians getting to know the real face of Islam, the official religion of Iran, and the mistrust of the people toward the government and leaders following the fraudulent 2009 presidential election of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad,” said a Middle East worker for Open Doors (name withheld for security reasons).

Since the beginning of this year, authorities have arrested Christian converts in Tehran, Ahwaz, Shiraz, Isfahan and Kermanshah, according to news reports from the Middle East and U.S. (more…)

Glorious Resurrection weekend / RUA Party ready for action in Tasmania

Tasmanian RUA State TeamParticipants in the play enjoying fellowshipDear family & friends in Christ,

We thank and praise God for the Easter Resurrection weekend, where we all came together to worship and thank Him for His great gift and sacrifice to mankind, Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior! It was very encouraging to see the TV News coverage of this weekend, and to hear news reporters say that more people were at church this year than in past years. This is great news, because more Aussies are beginning to feel the need for God in their lives.

Many gathered over the weekend at the CTFM base in Melbourne for the Good Friday service, then on Saturday for a Passover meal and on Sunday for the Resurrection service. All were remembering what happened 2000 years ago and giving glory to God, Hallelujah!

On Saturday the Passover meal and drama was organised and directed by sister Jill Curry and a team from CTFM. This was a remarkable night, as people were taken back to the time of Jesus and the Jewish culture. It was also so good to learn the significance of the Passover meal for today. All tickets were sold out, as many with a heart and love for Israel gathered to celebrate this event. The drama was well presented, giving great insight into the journey the people of Israel took from bondage to the promised land, plus the play of Hinds Feet on High Places beautifully portrayed our journey as Christians from fear to maturity and victory in Christ.

On Resurrection Sunday Pr Daniel spoke on the ’15 reasons to celebrate Resurrection weekend’. People were mightily challenged and blessed through the message. You can buy the CD or DVD by calling CTFM office on Mondays or Thursdays or emailing Angelene@reformationharvestfire.com. (more…)

Atheist Professor’s Near-Death Experience in Hell Left Him a Changed Man

Mark Ellis : Mar 14, 2012 : God Reports

Then [Jesus] picked up Howard, like one football player picking up a fallen teammate on the field, put His arms around him, and Howard cried like a baby in His arms. “He carried me out of there and we headed to where God lives.” Afterwards, Howard told his wife Heaven “was all love… you don’t have to suffer anymore.”

(Fort Thomas, KY)—Howard Storm and his wife Marcia are involved in missionary work in Belize. In excerpts from a God Report’s article, reporter Mark Ellis writes the following about an amazing spiritual experience that changed Howard forever. It reads:

In some near-death experiences, people report they were drawn toward “the light.” But in this horrifying near-death experience for an atheist art professor, he was drawn into the darkness of Hell, which dramatically altered the course of his life.

Howard and current wife Marcia “I was a double atheist,” says Howard Storm, who became a tenured art professor at Northern Kentucky University by age 27. “I was a know-it-all college professor—universities are some of the most closed-minded places there are,” he notes. (Howard and current wife, Marcia/God Reports)

On the last day of a three-week European art tour he led, his group had returned to their hotel in Paris after a visit to the artist Delacroix’s home and studio. As Howard stood in his room with his wife and another student, suddenly he screamed and dropped to the floor in agony.

“I had a perforation of the small stomach, known as the duodenum,” he recalls. At first, Howard thought he was shot, and he glanced around the room to see if he could spot a smoking gun. As he writhed in pain on the ground, kicking and screaming, his wife called for a doctor.

“They said I needed surgery immediately,” Howard says. “It’s like having a burst appendix. I was told that if they don’t get to it within five hours, you’re probably going to die.”

Howard had the misfortune of a falling ill on a Saturday in a country with socialized medicine, and no doctor could be found. “French doctors do seven surgeries a week, and after they do the seven surgeries, they take the weekend off,” he discovered. (more…)
