Sharia in action in Syria: Jihadists kill, crucify man for “purposely killing a Muslim to take his money”

Indeed, the penalty for those who wage war against Allah and His Messenger and strive upon earth [to cause] corruption is none but that they be killed or crucified or that their hands and feet be cut off from opposite sides or that they be exiled from the land. That is for them a disgrace in this world; and for them in the Hereafter is a great punishment.” — Qur’an 5:33

Note that the accusation specifies that he purposefully killed a Muslim. This is because the Qur’an also says: “And never is it for a believer to kill a believer except by mistake” (4:92). If he had killed a non-Muslim, he might have been able to justify the deed on Islam’s sharp dichotomy between believers and unbelievers, and command to be “merciful to unbelievers, but ruthless to unbelievers” (48:29).

Blindfolded, shot in the head and strung up on a crucifix for all to see, the body of a suspected murderer is paraded in a town square for people to take pictures on mobile phones.

Canberra Rocks with Praise, Worship & Prayer right outside Federal Parliament / Pr Daniel ministering in Bendigo, Vic this weekend 3rd & 4th May / RUA Prayer Melbourne on Friday 2nd May

Dear family & friends in Christ,

1) We must thank God every day for our nation of Australia.

Last weekend was truly history making as many Christians gathered outside the Federal Parliament building on the lawn to lift up praise, worship & prayer to the King of kings and the Lord of lords in Canberra, Australia’s capital city.

This glorious public celebration was organized by the Indonesian Australian churches in Sydney as the Lord placed in their hearts to come to Canberra and lift up prophetic worship to Jesus.

This was a great afternoon where the airways around Parliament were filled with praise, worship & prayer through a high powered PA system and a great bunch of musicians and singers lifting praises to God for 3 hours.

A large group of worshippers carrying banners & flags marched around the place, declaring Australia for Jesus.

Several Pastors led in prayer with great passion and love for Australia. Then Hilary & Paul who run Canberra House of Prayer made several very strategic prophetic declarations over Australia. Afterward, Pr Daniel Nalliah brought the Word of God. The sky was overcast, but as the words were spoken ‘Let the light of Jesus shine’, just then the clouds parted for a few seconds and there was bright sunshine.  It was just amazing.

Everyone who passed by was given a t-shirt which stated “His Kingdom shall reign”.  The place was filled with the presence of God.  One sound guy, who is not a believer commented, “I feel like chills running through my spine.” There was much warfare in the Spirit, pulling down the spiritual strongholds over Canberra and then there was a real sense of victory.

We praise God for the Indonesian Australians who planned such a great event. It brings us great joy to see their heart for our country Australia.

On Sunday Pr Daniel preached in Canberra and those who were at the meeting were mightily blessed.

Let God arise and His enemies be scattered!

Condoleezza Rice Rebukes President Obama for Weakening America’s Position in the World; Says, “When America Steps Back and There is a Vacuum, Trouble Will Fill That Vacuum”

Former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice accused Barack Obama of dramatically weakening the United States’ position in the world, drawing a straight line between Obama’s ever-yielding foreign policy and the increasing troubles around the world.

“Right now, there’s a vacuum,” she told a crowd of more than two thousand attending the National Republican Congressional Committee’s annual dinner last night in Washington, D.C. “There’s a vacuum because we’ve decided to lower our voice. We’ve decided to step back. We’ve decided that if we step back and lower our voice, others will lead, other things will fill that vacuum.” Citing Bashar al Assad’s slaughter in Syria, Vladimir Putin’s aggression in Ukraine, al Qaeda’s triumphant return to Fallujah, Iraq, and China’s nationalist fervor, she concluded: “When America steps back and there is a vacuum, trouble will fill that vacuum.”

Rice – measured in tone, but very tough on substance – excoriated Obama administration policies without ever mentioning the president by name. She mocked the naïve hope that “international norms” would fill the vacuum left by U.S. retreat and blasted the president for hiding behind the weariness of the public.

When Christian Arabs Reach Muslims With the Gospel

Gathered in a home in Jordan, 15 local believers discussed the life-altering experience of Arab-to-Arab outreach. These were Jordanian Christians who had gone on outreach trips to Turkey and Lebanon.

As the conversation progressed, it became apparent each of them had experienced a profound shift in faith. For the first time in many of their lives, their eyes were opened to the spiritual need of their Muslim neighbors.

From Jordan

Jordan is 98 percent Muslim, leaving the minority Christian population noticeably weak and vulnerable. Despite living in a Muslim society, most of the Jordanian Christians who participated in the outreach had never been in a Muslim home, much less shared the gospel with a Muslim. Being outside their country to minister to Muslims opened their eyes to the need for ministry in their own country.

For many of the local believers, they came to understand the spiritual needs of Muslims by first addressing the physical needs of Syrian refugees. The tragic war in Syria has left millions of suffering families around the region. Jordan, along with other countries bordering Syria, has been flooded with refugees. Traveling to Lebanon and Turkey opened the Jordanian believers’ hearts to the plight of the refugees. Moreover, it helped them realize the spiritual need of the Muslims around them back home.

Police in India Rebuke, File Case against Christians Fleeing Hindu Extremist Attack

Photo Pastor Tilas Bedia, left, with the family of his brother Chandra Bedia center Morning Star NewsNEW DELHI, March 26, 2014 (Morning Star News) – A police station official in India’s Jharkhand state this month reviled Christians who sought protection after Hindu extremists beat and threatened to kill them for refusing to convert to Hinduism, area church leaders said.

Accusing Christian leaders of forcible conversion, the Hindu extremists earlier this month attempted to forcibly convert several church members after disrupting a home worship service, beating them and parading them half-naked through the street, area pastor Rampath Nath told Morning Star News.

Police subsequently registered a case of forcible conversion against four Christians, he said.

Virender Singh, the police official at the station in Patratu Thana, Ramgarh District, verbally abused the Christians who fled their homes, rebuked them and sent them away without taking their complaint after the Hindu extremists beat them on two consecutive days, stripped off their clothes and chased them from Pali village, Nath said.

Some 10 Hindu extremists stormed into the March 4 worship meeting at the house of pastor Tilas Bedia at 7 p.m. and began beating the Christians, including the pastor’s 60-year-old mother, Christian leaders said.

Aborted and Miscarried Baby Remains Used to Power British Hospitals

By Morgan Lee , Christian Post Reporter – March 24, 2014

British hospitals used the bodies of aborted and miscarried babies to heat their buildings, the United Kingdom’s Channel 4 has shockingly revealed.

A Channel 4 show airing on Monday night reveals that the bodies of thousands of preborn babies were included as clinical waste in 10 National Health Service (NHS) trusts and subsequently incinerated. Two others admitted to burning the human remains as part of their “waste-to-energy” plants.

Health Minister and Conservative Member of Parliament, Dr. Dan Poulter, decried the practice as “totally unacceptable.”

“While the vast majority of hospitals are acting in the appropriate way, that must be the case for all hospitals and the Human Tissue Authority has now been asked to ensure that it acts on this issue without delay,” Poulter said in The Telegraph.

In response to the Channel 4 report, the U.K. Department of Health banned the practice on Sunday.

Twenty-seven NHS trusts incinerated at least 15,500 fetal remains over the past two years and parents were often not consulted about the hospital’s intentions for the baby remains, the Channel 4 report also claims.

RUAP Media Release: Why are Australia & New Zealand National Anthems not being sung at ANZAC Day Rugby Match?? Make your voice known!!

General Immediate Media Release –23rd April 2014

From the Daily Telegraph, “This Friday, in two rugby matches featuring rival New Zealand and Australian teams, the national anthems will not be played. And all because of some crazy rule book that says they can’t.”

http://mobile.news.com.au/sport/more-sports/sanzar-a-sporting-body-with-too-many-rules-in-its-rule-book-bans-national-anthems-on-anzac-day/story-fndukor0-1226892176762

Let’s get this straight. This Friday, April 25th – for many our “National Day” – the Nation’s capital will host the Super Rugby “grand-final rematch” between the ACT Brumbies and N.Z’s Waikato Chiefs. At this venue the opportunity to honor our proud countries with our National Anthem will be not permitted.

This is hard to fathom because we, Australians, together with the New Zealanders constitute “ANZAC”.

Exactly 100 years ago, hostilities on the Eastern and Western fronts partially ceased when isolated games of football [soccer] erupted between shell-shocked Germans and Russian & British soldiers respectively.

Why has the normally joyful rendition of our proud songs been rugby tackled on this centenary year of peace?

Why the Media Doesn’t Cover Jihadist Attacks on Middle East Christians

By Raymond Ibrahim  March 21, 2014  The Torch (Christians United for Israel, Winter 2014)

“To their loss they are crucifying the Son of God all over again and subjecting Him to public disgrace”—Hebrews 6:6

The United Nations, Western governments, media, universities, and talking heads everywhere insist that Palestinians are suffering tremendous abuses from the state of Israel.  Conversely, the greatest human rights tragedy of our time—radical Muslim persecution of Christians, including in Palestinian controlled areas—is devotedly ignored.

The facts speak for themselves. Reliable estimates indicate that anywhere from 100-200 million Christians are persecuted every year; one Christian is martyred every five minutes. Approximately 85% of this persecution occurs in Muslim majority nations.

In 1900, 20% of the Middle East was Christian. Today, less than 2% is. {except in Israel. DAS}

‘She will live on forever within Iver’: Canadian ‘brain dead’ woman gives birth to healthy son

Dylan and Iver Benson enjoy a hug after his birth Saturday.by Peter Baklinski – Feb 11, 2014

VICTORIA, British Columbia, February 11, 2014 (LifeSiteNews.com) – A Canadian father and husband is experiencing an impossible mix of emotions at the birth of his first child followed by the passing of his wife, who was declared ‘brain dead’ by doctors in December.

Baby Iver Cohen Benson, who shot to international fame after his father Dylan requested that doctors keep his wife Robyn on life support to give his unborn son what he called a “chance of survival,” was born Saturday at a Victoria hospital.

“On Saturday evening, my beautiful and amazing son, Iver Cohen Benson, was born. Iver is healthy and is the cutest and most precious person I have ever met,” Benson wrote on his blog.

Doctors had declared Robyn Benson, 32, “brain dead” at the end of December, one day after suddenly suffering a massive blood leak to her brain. She was 22 weeks pregnant with the couple’s first child.

Beauty from Ashes: Thousands of Syrians are Coming to Christ Reports Middle East Ministries Assisted by U.S. Non-Profit Christian Aid Mission

A Syrian refugee steps outside her makeshift housing. Syrian refugees are finding hope in the midst of suffering as they seek answers to their questions about Christ, the cross, and forgiveness.January 29, 2014 – CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA (ANS)

Are the conversions real?

That was the question posed by Cynthia Finley, president of Christian Aid Mission, after staff received another round of encouraging, if not glowing, reports from Middle East ministries that stated “thousands” of Syrians have committed their hearts to Jesus Christ.

Christian Aid Mission is a U.S. non-profit organization that assists hundreds of ministries overseas that have tens of thousands of indigenous missionaries in the field. These ministries are currently engaging more than 1,000 unreached people groups in over 100 countries around the world. Christian Aid Mission is a 60-year-old organization and one of the first to support native missionary ministries overseas

Challenged to dig deeper, Christian Aid Mission staff contacted ministries they assist in the region, ministries that have invested wholeheartedly in outreach to war-weary Syrians through personal interaction.

Their gospel workers have done far more than hand out blankets and bags of groceries. They listened as a young widow with children described the day a stray bullet flew through their kitchen window in Syria and struck her husband in the head. They consoled a 15-year-old orphan and helped him find safe passage into Eastern Europe, where he can receive an education. Others have sat shivering with refugee families in their threadbare tents as they offered prayers for God to restore their once beautiful country.
