Salvations & Baptism in the Holy Spirit in Canberra/Pr Daniel Sydney

Dear family & friends in Christ,The crowd worshipping
1) We praise and thank our amazing Heavenly Father for another wonderful weekend of ministry filled with the fire of the Holy Spirit!

Pr Daniel ministered in Canberra on Sunday morning & evening. We are so thankful to God for the people who gathered from several different churches to hear the Word of God.

At these services two young people gave their lives to Jesus at the altar, and one of them was just sobbing and crying in the presence of God.

The whole church responded to the altar call, and many who had never ever prayed in tongues before got baptised with the Holy Spirit, and proceeded to pray in tongues for the very first time. The Pastor and his wife stated, ‘This is the begining of revival!’

At one point, the people at the altar started worshipping the Lord and the place was filled with the presence of the Holy Ghost. Suddenly, just an amazing warfare anointing entered the place, and people started travailing and praying for Australia, and in particular Canberra. Just then Pr Daniel had prophetic Word for the church in Canberra.

Najib: Christians not Forgotten (Malaysia)

Posted on Thursday, December 27, 2012 – nickcarraway

Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak has urged the Christian community to join in the journey of change and renewal for a better Malaysia.

Najib said he understood that the members of the community might have felt the Government was not doing enough to engage them.

He reaffirmed his commitment to the Christians, adding that they should not feel that they had been forgotten.

“The countless personal interactions I have had with church leaders show I have not forgotten the Christian community as some have alleged.

“In fact, every community, be it an ethnic or religious community, is important to my government and me because we cannot exclude anybody,” he said at the Christian Federation of Malaysia (CFM) Christmas reception, which was hosted by the Lutheran Church on Tuesday.

Surprising Study On Terrorism: Al-Qaida Kills Eight Times More Muslims Than Non-Muslims

12/03/2009 – By Yassin Musharbash

Few would deny that Muslims too are victims of Islamist terror. But a new study by the Combating Terrorism Center in the US has shown that an overwhelming majority of al-Qaida victims are, in fact, co-religionists.

In the battle against unbelievers, can one also kill Muslims? Even the terror network al-Qaida is troubled by this question.

A leading al-Qaida ideologue for the terror network, Abu Yahya al-Libi, has developed his own theologically-based theory of collateral damage that allows militants to kill Muslims when it is unavoidable.

Even the Iraqi affiliates of Osama bin Laden’s terror group, who are known to be particularly bloodthirsty, claim that they too consider this question. For instance, in a message claiming responsibility for an August attack in Baghdad, the group wished those Sunnis injured in the “operation” a speedy recovery and expressed their hope that those killed would be accepted by God as “martyrs.”

But even as such apologetic communiqués from al-Qaida show the terror network stylizing itself as a defender of the true faith wrestling with religious concepts, they also make it look as though any dead Muslims are regretful but isolated cases. The facts, though, tell a different story.

Outrage over ‘fatwa’ forces mosque to pull down website post

December 24th 2012 – Rachel Olding, Natalie O’Brien

AUSTRALIA’S biggest mosque has backed away from its fatwa against Christmas after harsh criticism from the Muslim community and a tirade of racial abuse.

The Lakemba Mosque posted the religious ruling on its Facebook site on Saturday morning, warning followers it was a ”sin” even to wish people a Merry Christmas.

It followed a lecture during Friday prayers in which the head imam, Sheikh Yahya Safi, told the congregation they should not take part in anything to do with Christmas or New Year’s Eve.

Samier Dandan, the head of the Lebanese Muslim Association, which oversees the mosque, said the fatwa was unsanctioned and did not reflect the views of the association or the mosque. It is understood the association’s youth co-ordinator, Bilal el-Hayek, copied the text from another site and posted it after receiving messages from members asking for guidance on celebrating Christmas.

7 of Top 10 ‘World’s Most Influential Muslims’ Are Islamists

Posted on December 05, 2012 by bayouranger – counterjihadreport.com

The Royal Islamic Strategic Studies Centre has released this year’s list of the 500 “world’s most influential Muslims” and of the top 10, seven are Islamists. The unfortunate reality is that Islamism is indeed mainstream thought in the Muslim world and non-Muslims have a lot of ground to make up in the struggle over the direction of the Muslim world.

The most influential Muslim is Saudi King Abdullah. He is hailed as a reformer but that is by Saudi standards. Under his rule, Sharia is still the law of the land in an especially puritanical form. By setting this example and teaching that this is Allah’s vision for governance, Saudi King Abdullah is still promoting the Islamist ideology. He is in his late 80s and he just underwent major back surgery, prompting some to worry about what the future holds for his country.

In second place is Turkish Prime Minister Erdogan. He has sharply moved the secular, pro-Western country of Turkey in an Islamist direction, expertly using the doctrine of “gradualism.” The rate of his implementation of the Islamist agenda has sped up as the strength of his political party has increased. The former ally of Israel is now an adversary, with Erdogan stating that Hamas isn’t a terrorist organization but a “resistance” group.

He has remained popular since becoming the Tukish prime minister in 2003, defying the pattern of Islamists losing popularity once they come to power. However, a new poll shows a dip in his support. Erdogan’s government occupies two spots in the top 50, with President Gul taking 24th place.

The Muslim Brotherhood Supreme Guide Mohammed Badie, who essentially declared jihad on the U.S. and pro-Western Arab governments in 2010, is in fourth place. This makes the Muslim Brotherhood the strongest international movement in the Islamic world.

It’s Official: Muslim Population of Britain Doubles

by Douglas Murray  – December 21, 2012 

The strange thing about this “multicultural” society is that it can celebrate every imaginable culture except the one that allows all these cultures to co-exist alongside each other — and all the time with enthusiasm from pundits and politicians, busy trying to pretend that this is all the most wonderful result imaginable.

If in 2001 the British Prime Minister had said to the British public that over the next decade he intended to double the number of Muslims in the country, he would most likely never have been returned to office. But of course he did not say that, any more than any of his successors or predecessors did.This last fact is perhaps one of the least considered of the census so far. Doubled? Surely not. This has to be the claim of Mark Steyn or some other demographics-obsessed nut. Well no, it isn’t, and it is now official: between 2001 and 2011 the Muslim population of the UK rose from 1.5 million to 2.7 million.

Seven Egyptian Christians sentenced to death for anti-Islam video

Posted on Wednesday, November 28, 2012 by Deacon Benjamin – Times of India

CAIRO: A Cairo court on Wednesday sentenced to death seven Egyptian Christians tried in absentia for participating in an anti-Islam video that was released on the Internet in September and prompted violent protests in Muslim countries.

“The seven accused persons were convicted of insulting the Islamic religion through participating in producing and offering a movie that insults Islam and its prophet,” Judge Saif al-Nasr Soliman said.

The low-budget video, produced privately in California, denigrated the Prophet Mohammad and triggered anti-US protests and attacks on Western embassies around the Muslim world.

The convicted persons included Egyptian-American Nakoula Bassely Nakoula, who is currently serving a one-year-jail term in Los Angeles after an American court convicted him of probation violations that stemmed from his role in the movie.

Exciting update with photos from Christmas & New Year at CTFM / Pr Daniel ministering in Canberra this Sunday 6th Jan

Dear family & friends in Christ

1) What an amazing Christmas season it has been with Christmas carols being played in shopping malls around the country, people catching up with each other, lots of food, parties, etc. and I know that many of you would have taken the opportunity to share with someone, ‘Jesus is the Reason for Season!”

If you had an opportunity to do so, please send us a brief email of your testimony as we would like to share your story with our network around the world.

We at Catch The Fire had a fantastic Christmas Carol’s service, singing many Christmas carols, with special items & yummy food. Then we had a great Christmas Eve service, and dawned Christmas at church. It was just so wonderful.

On Christmas Day, Pastor Daniel and his family joined together with people who do not have family in Australia and had a special lunch at church. This was so wonderful. Two things in particular caught the eyes of everyone present. One young man called Barry, was suddenly spotted crying in a corner by Pr Daniel and others.

Pr Daniel put his arms around him and asked him why he was crying. He responded, “I am the only child in the family. Mum & Dad are no more, as they died a few years ago. I am feeling very lonely.” Then others too came around him and told him that we were now his family and that we love him very much. Minutes later Barry was smiling and telling people, “I found a new family. Glory to God.”

Another gentlemen called Jeff came for the Christmas lunch, and that was his very first time in church. He too had no family. He was living alone all by himself. Many people from church welcomed him and showed much love. Pr Daniel spent some time talking to him, and then led him to Jesus. Glory to God, on Sunday Jeff came to church and shared a brief testimony. He said, “I feel I have found a new family, as I didn’t have a family”.

We thank God for every opportunity He gives us to love and share the Good News of the Gospel to another precious soul!

New Year’s Eve was also great night as the church was packed out, buzzing with great excitement. People worshipped, praised God and thanked Him for all His wonderful blessings in 2012.

As 2013 dawned, the people shouted out with joy and then declared ‘AUSTRALIA FOR JESUS’ in 2013 three times!

Why Christian Persecution Is Islam’s Achilles’ Heel

November 30, 2012 By Raymond Ibrahim Comments 

Which of the following three headlines is most difficult for the media—including the usual array of liberal pundits, apologists, academics, and politicians—to whitewash or rationalize away?  Which most exposes Islam’s inherent intolerance?

A)   “Allahu Akbar” screaming Muslims fire rockets into Israel

B)   “Allahu Akbar” screaming Muslims riot and commit acts of violence in Europe

C)   “Allahu Akbar” screaming Muslims torch a Christian church in a Muslim country

The answer is C—Christian persecution.

Why?

Because in both scenarios A and B, Muslims will always be portrayed and seen as the “underdogs”—and hence always exonerated for their behavior.  No matter how violent or ugly, no matter how many Islamic slogans are shrieked—thus placing their behavior in a purely Islamic context—Muslim violence against the West and Israel will always be dismissed as a product of the weak and outnumbered status of Muslims—their status as underdogs, which the West tends to romanticize.  And so they will always get a free pass, without further ado.

The Spiritual Avalanche That Could Kill Millions

12/11/2012 Steve Hill – Charisma Magazine

 This is coming to you from a man who has just passed through the valley of the shadow of death. Since my close call with eternity just a short while ago … everything has become clearer. I can hear His whisper. Unabated obedience has become my mandate. That is why I’m writing this word from the Lord.

A few days ago, after enjoying quality time with Jesus, I was surprised by an alarming vision. I saw a massive, majestic mountain covered in glistening snow. It reminded me of the Matterhorn in the Swiss Alps. Its peaks were sparkling white and I was amazed by God’s attention to detail. It was so realistic I wanted to go skiing! But I sensed that there was more that the Holy Spirit was about to reveal. As I closed my eyes, I was in a winter wonderland bustling with thousands of vacationers. The ski lodge, condos, hotels and cabins were at full capacity at this popular resort.

Day quickly turned to night as the skiers, snowboarders and sports enthusiasts were settling in. Anticipation grew as the snow began to fall. Everyone headed to bed believing tomorrow would be a day of sheer enjoyment on freshly covered slopes. For an avid skier, the exhilaration of being the first one to race down a new blanket of snow is a dream come true.

Throughout the night, winter storms dropped several feet of new snow on the slopes. The night ski patrol was put on full alert. Their mission was clear. With the potential of killer avalanches they took to their posts.

Over 100 Million Bibles Have Been Printed in China

By Jeff Schapiro , Christian Post Reporter – November 9, 2012

The only printing company authorized to print the Bible in China announced Thursday that the nation has now printed over 100 million copies of the Christian scriptures.

Qiu Zhonghui, chairman of the board of Amity Printing Co. Ltd., said the 100 millionth copy was printed back in July, Xinhuanet reports. His company has printed 60 million Bibles (including nine separate ethnic minority language editions) and provided 40 million copies in more than 90 languages to about 70 different countries and regions around the world.

Amity Printing has been publishing the Holy Bible since 1988, when the company was started as a joint venture between the United Bible Societies (UBS) and the Amity Foundation.

On Tuesday, UBS leaders and a number of Bible Societies donors joined government officials from the State of Administration for Religious Affairs (SARA) and the Chinese Christian Council/Three-Self Patriotic Movement (CCC/TSPM) for a ceremony celebrating the over 60 million Bibles that have been distributed throughout China alone.

Israel has a right to exist and defend itself Dublin rally told

By PATRICK COUNIHAN – Irish Central Staff Writer   Monday, November 26, 2012

People turned out to express their views supporting Israel’s right to defend itself against the rocket attacks on its citizens launched by Hamas in Gaza.  Labour Party Councilor for the Stillorgan Ward Richard Humphreys said there needs to be a wider recognition of the right of Israel to exist.  “This is a day when we stand in solidarity, friendship and dialogue with Israel.  Israel’s right to exist must be acknowledged, as the only Jewish state in the world and the only liberal secular democracy in the Middle East,” Mr Humphreys said.

Israel has a fundamental right to exist and defend itself, a speaker at a pro-Israeli demonstration in Dublin has proclaimed.  Cllr Richard Humphreys, the Labour Party Councillor for the Stillorgan Ward, has said that there needs to be a wider recognition of the right of Israel to exist, and its consequential right to defend itself against the rocket attacks on its citizens launched by Hamas’s terrorist regime in Gaza.

Humphreys was speaking at the historic first major rally in solidarity with Israel, held at the GPO on Sunday 25 November.  “This is a day when we stand in solidarity, friendship and dialogue with Israel. Israel’s right to exist must be acknowledged, as the only Jewish state in the world and the only liberal secular democracy in the Middle East.” Humphreys said.
