What Kind of People We Ought to Be?
Friday, 15 July 2011 – Franklin Graham News – Featured News
There has been a lot of speculation about the end times lately, especially in light of recent storms. I saw first hand the devastation and carnage that accompanied the fierce, deadly tornadoes that swept across the South and the Midwest this spring.
I’ve seen lots of disasters in my lifetime, but the scenes that I witnessed in Alabama and Missouri were among the most horrific I’ve encountered anywhere.
Many are asking if the seemingly growing numbers of such catastrophes could be an indication that the return of Christ is drawing nearer. Jesus said that such tragedies—in addition to wars and persecution—are indeed the “beginning of birth pains†(Matthew 24:8), and these certainly appear to be increasing in frequency and intensity.
Just a few months ago, the owner of a Christian radio network forecast that May 21 would be “Judgment Day†for the world. I was amazed at the extensive national coverage given to this prediction, even though the Bible says that only the Father in Heaven knows the exact date of the Savior’s return. It was hard to view a news program or read a newspaper without a prominent reference to this event.
While I’m grateful that there has been some renewed discussion given to the return of the King, I’m afraid that such a superficial focus can divert our attention from the primary thrust of Scripture regarding His coming—are we living holy, godly lives on earth, diligently waiting and working until He comes?

Don’t Settle for a Fake Anointing
Wednesday, 27 July 2011 – J. Lee Grady Newsletters – Fire In My Bones
Many Christians today can’t distinguish between the sweat of the flesh and the dew of heaven.
Gideon is one of my favorite Bible characters because I relate to his struggle with inferiority. God pulled this runt of a guy out of a hole in the ground and called him to deliver Israel. Gideon’s classic “Who, me?†response reminds me of conversations I’ve had with the Lord. None of us feels qualified to do God’s work, but we know from Gideon’s example that reluctant wimps can be transformed into valiant warriors.
I’ve heard people criticize Gideon because he laid out a fleece of wool on the ground and asked the Lord—not once but twice—to confirm His promise (see Judges 6:36-40). But the Bible doesn’t say God was mad at Gideon for wanting assurance. In fact, God answered Gideon both times with moisture from heaven. The dew was a sign of God’s favor and blessing.
“I love it when the Holy Spirit does miracles. But when people fake the supernatural in order to get an audience response (or a big offering), I run for the door.†(more…)
Dozens of ‘incubators’ for jihad found in U.S. ‘More than 80% of mosques advocate or promote violence’
June 08, 2011 – By Bob Unruh © 2011 WND
Dozens of mosques around the United States have been identified in a new study as incubators for jihad against America, with more than 80 percent of those surveyed advocating violence.
“Of the 100 mosques surveyed, 51 percent had texts on-site rated as severely advocating violence; 30 percent had texts rated as moderately advocating violence; and 19 percent had no violent texts at all,” said the survey compiled by Mordechai Kedar and David Yerushalmi and published by the Middle East Quarterly.
“How’s this for a wake-up call?” asked Frank Gaffney, chief of the Center for Security Policy in a commentary today in the Washington Times.
Find out what’s planned for you, in “Muslim Mafia: Inside the Secret Underworld That’s Conspiring to Islamize America,” autographed, from WND’s Superstore.
“America’s most cherished civil liberties and the Constitution that enshrines them are enabling Muslim Brotherhood operatives and other Islamists who have the declared mission of destroying our freedoms and government ‘from within … by [our] hands.’ Specifically, our enemies are using our tolerance of religion to create an infrastructure of mosques here that incubate the Islamic holy war called jihad.”
You Can’t Stop the Holy Spirit—Iran’s Persecution of Christians Causing Huge Growth of Underground Church
by Aimee Herd : Jun 6, 2011 : Trevor Persaud – Christianity Today
“…in places like Tehran and more educated communities, if you say, ‘I have become a Christian,’ they will respect you because of your courage and your independent thinking.” -Issa Dibaj
(Iran)—Just as we have witnessed in China, where oppression against Christians there has only caused faith, and the underground Church to grow exponentially over the years; the same is reportedly happening now in Iran.
According to a recent article in Christianity Today, it was noted that Iran’s Government previously had discounted Believers denying that any “Iranians become Christians.” But that now the House Church movement has become too big for them to ignore, and they’ve subsequently labeled the grass roots movement as “enemies of Iran.”
Let’s thank those who dragged Geert Wilders into court
The German site Politically Incorrect has an excellent commentary on the acquittal of Geert Wilders on Sharia-inspired “hate speech” charges: “A Historic Victory for Freedom!,” by Frank Furter, translated by Anders Denken:
Dear PI Community,
We finally made it! The movement for Islam criticism is celebrating a great, and even historic, victory. Let’s thank those who dragged Geert Wilders into court. Those who were recruited primarily by various Muslim organizations were holding a gun to the heart of the Dutch judiciary. And the judges had to decide which values, which rights and which law was to apply in the Netherlands. Is it that law that is written down in the constitution of their land? Or that law that is gaining entry into the West with the influx of Muslims? They decided for Western law. Anything else would have been scandalous and would have forced the question of whether our Western ideas concerning law and order were only a collection of empty phrases.
The trial against Geert Wilders clearly brought to light just how greatly Western and Islamic values differ from each other. The supporters of multicultural society believe that all cultures lend themselves to combining into a flourishing society of diversity. On the surface, this seems to function where culture overflows in tradition and folklore. However, at the roots of a culture is more than just the question of what one should wear, eat and celebrate, and when, where and how. At their roots, cultures open up to the elementary questions of what one may do and not do, what is permitted and what is forbidden, what is right and what is wrong, what is good and what is evil.
Pakistani Believers Defy Islamic Rule for Christ
Monday, 11 July 2011 -Â Mission Network News News – Featured News
Christian
s working in remote Pakistani communities are facing extreme pressure, according to a Voice of the Martyrs Canada report.
A believer was handing out gospel literature when a group of Muslims threatened him to try to get him to stop. In another city, Christians who work in an evangelist’s office are now under investigation, and authorities are watching their mail.
The notorious blasphemy law also comes into play, imposing the death penalty on anyone who defames Mohammed, and life in prison for anyone who defiles the Quran. Many Pakistani Christians have been falsely accused under this law.
Against this backdrop, Mawii Pudaite with Bibles For The World says, “In recent months, we have been getting telephone calls and emails with urgent requests for gospels, New Testaments and Bibles in Urdu language for the people in the country of Pakistan.” (more…)
Father Zakaria Botros, also known as Islam’s “Public Enemy #1,†is back.
Posted by Raymond Ibrahim on Jul 22nd, 2011
From
around 2005-2010, this 76 year-old Coptic priest was Islam’s bane. Appearing weekly on Arabic satellite, where he was viewed by an estimated 60 million people worldwide, mostly Muslims, he meticulously exposed any number of theological problems with Islam—all from Islam’s own books—while simultaneously evangelizing from his own book, the Bible.
His mission “is to attack Islam, not to attack Muslims but to save them because they are deceived. As I love Muslims, I hate Islam.â€
And he has been effective: Mass conversions to Christianity, open and clandestine, have resulted. Indeed, years back al-Jazeera aired a segment complaining about Fr. Zakaria’s “unprecedented evangelical raid†on the Muslim world; similarly, one Sheikh Ahmad al-Qatani lamented that as many as six million Muslims annually “apostatize†to Christianity.
Unsurprisingly, Fr. Zakaria’s exploits caused al-Qaeda to proclaim him “one of the most wanted infidels in the world,†putting a $60 million bounty on his head; undeterred, the priest kept going, his viewers and converts multiplying by the week. (more…)

God’s Word Reigns Despite Religious Persecution
Friday, 01 July 2011 – Robert T. Frank News – Featured News
When our Founding Fathers signed the Declaration of Independence in 1776, they considered religious freedom one of Americans’ most fundamental rights.
Thomas Jefferson, who wrote the Declaration of Independence, also wrote the Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom. He considered these two of his most important accomplishments, along with founding the University of Virginia, and left instructions for them to be inscribed on his tombstone.
Today, our commitment to religious freedom has gone global, and it has become part of the fabric of our diplomacy. In 1998, Congress passed the International Religious Freedom Act, and now the State Department issues an annual report on religious freedom. (more…)
Will the Western World Surrender to the Middle East? – By Pr Daniel Nalliah
Dear family & friends in Christ across our Nation of Australia and around the World,
Over the past several years, I have been very carefully watching the unfolding events across the world and asking the questions, “Will the Western world surrender to the Middle East and lose its Judeo-Christian Heritage, Freedom of Speech, Democracy, etc. to the political, social, economic, religious and spiritual force of Islam? How long will it be before the West wakes up and realises that if the current trend continues, we could have Islamic Sharia Law dominating parts of the West, as it is already happening in many parts of Europe?â€
While watching the media breaking news across the Middle East over the past 6 months or so, in particular PRESS TV NEWS, a channel which comes through satellite and is broadcast from Iran, of the many increasingly spreading revolutions throughout the Middle East, I have heard many Islamic clerics and others in the revolution repeatedly proclaim, “We will take this revolution into Europe.† Then they went on to call on the youth in Europe to start similar revolutions there.
Over the past week or so, I have been watching the latest developments in the UK on news and noticed that most rioters were youth. Who is behind the current riots in the UK is a question we need to ask? Is it simply because of one young man’s death, or is there a well organised movement coordinating these riots?
Greg Laurie’s Auckland Harvest Crusade Draws 21,000 People in First Large-Scale Outreach in 40 Years
by Michael Ireland : Jul 4, 2011 : ASSIST News
“The Kiwis are amazingly attentive and responded [to the Gospel] in a way that quite frankly shocked me.” -Greg Laurie
(Auckland, New Zealand)—In what has been billed as the largest outreach of its kind since Billy Graham visited New Zealand more than 40 years ago, evangelist Greg Laurie saw more than 2,500 Kiwis make decisions of faith recently.
Some 200 churches throughout the Auckland, New Zealand area watched and prayed expectantly from June 25 – 26, as they hosted the Greg Laurie: Auckland Harvest at Vector Arena—the largest outreach of its kind since Billy Graham visited the area in 1959 and 1969.
As if recovering from a drought, the people of Auckland exhibited an incredible thirst for the Gospel message of salvation presented, according to a media release from Laurie’s Harvest Crusade organization. (more…)
Holy Spirit fire falls in the Gold Coast and Deception Bay, QLD as demons flee and woman healed!
Dear family & friends in Christ,
We thank and praise our Almighty Father God in Heaven for His increasing presence and end-time outpouring of His Holy Spirit anointing to prepare the Bride of Christ for the return of our reigning King of kings and LORD of lords!
We desperately need the anointing of the Holy Spirit to lead every single church service, so we can experience the manifest presence of our Lord Jesus Christ and the miraculous outworking of the supernatural gifts of the Spirit of God!
Over the weekend gone by, Pr Daniel ministered in the Gold Coast and Deception Bay in QLD at two AOG Churches, where many who gathered to hear the prophetic Word of the Lord, were mightily touched by the presence of God and greatly challenged to rise up with the anointing of the Holy Spirit!
The altar calls were packed with people lining up for divine healing, deliverance and a supernatural encounter with Jesus, as many were mightily blessed as Pr Daniel prayed and ministered to them!
People from 17 different churches, including Catholic, Lutheran, Baptist, Anglican, Orthodox and many different Pentecostal churches, united as the Body of Christ at the Sunday evening service.
Also, many were greatly challenged and blessed to hear about the start of “Rise Up Australia Party – Keep Australia Australianâ€.
