“God Uses Ordinary People!” Merrigum Harvest Weekend

Little Girl Accepts The Lord Into Her LifeThe CTFM Team at The FarmGod loves people, He uses ordinary people, He seeks humble, willing vessels simply available, and prepared to listen to His voice and obey. Who would have thought a small group of “seemingly” ordinary Christians in a sleepy country town called Merrigum (between Tatura and Kyabram, half hour from Shepparton in the Goulburn Valley) could have believed for Ps. Danny and the Catch The Fire Team (Dianne, Rosalie, Glen & Noreen) to join with them for a whole weekend and host a special worship weekend during the peak of the Goulburn Valley fruit-picking season? To be blessed in seeing God touch the hearts of so many young backpackers from the nations of the world as they stood to give thanks for our nation of Australia and their role in “the Harvest”.

Shalom Worship Centre, a non-denominational apostolic healing Church hosted a special prayer and worship weekend “Miracles in Merrigum” believing for God to bring hope and healing to our communities presently struggling with the many issues confronting both our farming communities, flood and fire victims, and those seriously affected by the global economic meltdown. Our nation needs prayer, our farmers need prayer, our leaders need prayer, …the Church needs to learn how to pray! Jesus is turning over the money tables in His Church, God is calling His House back to be what the Father had purposed – “that My House shall be called a House of Prayer for all Nations”! (Mathew 21:12-13, Isaiah 56:7, 11 Chronicles 6&7 –ordinances of prayer) (more…)

Dr. V. DilkumarBy Aimee Herd

“Never did I ever expect such things, never, never… I only rejoice for what I am today because of Jesus.”

(Dubai, UAE)—One might expect to find such a vital Christian congregation as the King’s Revival flourishing in the US or Australia, however, this 7,000-member church, which has 24 pastors is situated in the Middle East.

King’s Revival Church International began as a small house church of just 7 people, led by Dr. V. Dilkumar, who moved from his native Sri Lanka in 1991 to Dubai, one of 7 states in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). From its humble start, the church grew to become the largest Evangelical church in the Middle East.

“Never did I ever expect such things, never, never,” Dr. Dilkumar told CBN News, “I only rejoice for what I am today because of Jesus.”

The founding pastor went on to explain that there are 14 services weekly at King’s Revival, 4 in English, the rest in other languages. (more…)

Pastor Danny Ministering In Corryong

Believers Pray For Pr DannyThe following is a letter that was sent to Pr Danny, from Pr Douglas & Carol Allen, after he ministered in their church in Corryong:

“What an amazing weekend…. Pastor Danny and his team arrived here in the High Country of North East Victoria (Corryong) Saturday afternoon after a 5 and a half hour drive from Melbourne. Praise God for their faithfulness in coming to our small community to be a blessing.

Standing United At The AltarAs the people started to arrive Saturday evening God spoke into Pst Danny’s heart about a young man who needed a deep touch from God, including salvation. He Touched By The Holy Spiritcalled him out and spoke a word over him which was totally spot on for the crisis he is going through. Praise the Lord for a good work which has begun. Also that same night he spoke into the lives of couples who belong to the fellowship with regards to what God has in store for them and how God is going to use them in the days to come. We, being the Pastors, know just how our people needed to hear these words,which once again from our knowledge of these precious folk was so spot on! Thank you Pastor Danny and team (Barry & Susanna & Barry & Cheryl) for being so sensitive and passing onto to us what you heard from God.

The Word which was ministered on Sunday morning was awesome (1Kings 16 & 17 ) We believe great fruit will come about from this. The Presence of God was beautiful and tangible. (in all meetings!) (more…)

Pastor Says Prayer Stopped Gay Marriage

Pastor Says Prayer Stopped Gay MarriageVoters in California, Arizona and Florida passed amendments to their state constitutions defining marriage as the union of one man and one woman.

 Every ballot measure banning gay marriage passed in Tuesday’s general election, and a pastor from Southern California believes prayer and fasting was what catapulted his state’s Proposition 8 across the finish line.

“This is a pretty massive statement of what can happen when pastors stand up and good people stand up to be counted,” said San Diego-based Skyline Church Pastor Jim Garlow, who helped mobilize thousands of conservative voters statewide. “California is a pretty unlikely place to have gay marriage stopped, considering what we faced against Hollywood and the media here.”

Hailed as a major victory for proponents of traditional marriage California’s Proposition 8, by far the most-watched ballot in the nation, passed 52 to 48 percent, effectively reversing a state Supreme Court decision earlier this year that legalized gay marriage. (more…)

Where Were You, God?

Greg LaurieWorld Net Daily – Greg Laurie 

Have you ever had a crisis so overwhelm you that you thought you could not survive? Have you ever faced a set of circumstances that you simply thought you would not be able to get through?

I have. When my son Christopher went to heaven just a few months ago, it was my worst nightmare come true. It seemed almost unbearable. But God was with our family, sustaining us in each moment through the most radical of circumstances. He has been helping us get through it each and every day.

The Bible tells the story of a tight-knit family who also had a loved one die. They were friends of Jesus, and he would frequent their home in Bethany, near Jerusalem. Mary, Martha and Lazarus were three people who could honestly say that Jesus was their personal friend. But one day, Lazarus became gravely ill. So they did what every person ought to do in times of crisis: they sent word to Jesus to do something about it.

What we first learn from this story is that life is filled with pain, sorrow, sickness and the death of loved ones. When we are younger, we don’t necessarily understand this. But as we get older, our grandparents will die, then our parents will die, and then, as we age, our day will eventually come. (more…)
