1000+ watch first webcast / Perth and Geraldton, WA Catch the Fire!

Dear family & friends in Christ,

We were so blessed to find out that 1160 computers were tuned into the first ever live webcast of Catch The Fire Ministries, as thousands watched the live streaming of the Heavenly Man, Bro Yun’s meeting last Sunday in Melbourne, Australia. The CTFM auditorium in Hallam was absolutely packed out with more than 400 people in attendance.

Everyone present was mightily blessed in addition to the many reports we received of many families all across Australia who were also tremendously blessed as they watched the webcast. We thank the Lord for this mighty man of God Bro Yun, his wife and their powerful testimony.

We would very much appreciate your feedback too if you watched the webcast. This would help us plan the possibility of live streaming our weekly Sunday services.

Also Pr Daniel had the opportunity to personally meet Bro Yun in Perth over the weekend.  It was a great meeting of 2 men of God who have served the Lord with underground churches, Pr Daniel in Saudi Arabia and Bro Yun in China. Some others watching these 2 men of God meet stated, “It was like an explosion, as we all ended up on the floor on our knees weeping in the presence of God in Koorong book store.”

Pr Daniel had a glorious time of ministry in Perth & Geraldton, WA over the weekend as hundreds of people attended the Holy Spirit revival meetings. Many were healed, delievered and set free by the miracle working power of God, as a few surrendered their lives to Jesus, including the guest house owner where Pr Daniel stayed.

Not a Single Christian Church Left in Afghanistan, Says State Department

By Edwin Mora October 10, 2011

(CNSNews.com) — There is not a single, public Christian church left in Afghanistan, according to the U.S. State Department.

This reflects the state of religious freedom in that country ten years after the United States first invaded it and overthrew its Islamist Taliban regime.

In the intervening decade, U.S. taxpayers have spent $440 billion to support Afghanistan’s new government and more than 1,700 U.S. military personnel have died serving in that country.

The last public Christian church in Afghanistan was razed in March 2010, according to the State Department’s latest International Religious Freedom Report. The report, which was released last month and covers the period of July 1, 2010 through December 31, 2010, also states that “there were no Christian schools in the country.”

“There is no longer a public Christian church; the courts have not upheld the church’s claim to its 99-year lease, and the landowner destroyed the building in March [2010],” reads the State Department report on religious freedom. “[Private] chapels and churches for the international community of various faiths are located on several military bases, PRTs [Provincial Reconstruction Teams], and at the Italian embassy. Some citizens who converted to Christianity as refugees have returned.”

Christian faces losing home for opposing gay weddings in churches

Controversial: Adrian Smith and his comments on Facebook about same-sex marriage

By Jaya Narain and Steve Doughty posted on 23rd October 2011

A housing association manager faces losing his home because of his Christian views about gay weddings in churches.

Father-of-two Adrian Smith, 54, was demoted and had his pay drastically cut after he posted comments on  his private Facebook page in which  he said that celebrating same-sex weddings in churches would be ‘an equality too far’.

He was hauled before bosses at the taxpayer-funded Trafford Housing Trust in Greater Manchester and found guilty of gross misconduct.

His salary was cut from £35,000 a year to £21,396 and he was given a final written warning that means any further offence will result in his sacking. Mr Smith, who now handles rent collection, was told he had been spared the sack only because of his long service of 18 years.

Don’t Let Circumstances Affect Your Joy

The Cutting Edge Devotional by Dr. Larry Ollison posted on Monday, 24 October 

“Great is my boldness of speech toward you, great is my boasting on your behalf. I am filled with comfort. I am exceedingly joyful in all our tribulation” (2 Corinthians 7:4).

The Bible tells us in Galatians 5:22 that joy is one part of the fruit of the Spirit. That means that a Christian has the seed of joy inside of him. When we become a Christian, the Holy Spirit moves inside of us and actually takes up residence inside of our bodies. Our body becomes the temple of the Spirit of God and all of the characteristics of His Spirit we now have.

A major characteristic of the Spirit of God is joy and when the Spirit of God is in you, you have no excuse for not being joyful. When you know the enemy is defeated or can be defeated, and that victory is within your grasp, you cannot help but have a smile on your face.

Years ago I attended the final game of the World Series. I was blessed by being able to sit on the front row behind the dugout. The game was intense and the crowd was really into it. But when the final out was made, I observed a distinct difference between the two dugouts. The team that had won was having a victory celebration. They were leaping on each other, jumping up and down and having a great time. While in the other dugout, the dugout of the losing team, there was great sadness.

“The Day I Died”—The Dramatic “Death” and Recovery of Pro-Life Activist Melanie Pritchard

Teresa Neumann/Peter Baklinski : Oct 12, 2011 : LifeSiteNews

“If He can wake me from the dead, He can make your eyes brand new, He can make your heart complete, He can change lives in a heartbeat if we are just a little open to walk under His direction.” -Melanie Pritchard

(Phoenix, AZ)—Melanie Pritchard, a well known pro-life and pro-family activist, went into labor on July 28th, 2010, but little did she know her ensuing ordeal would nearly kill her and her child. When Melanie’s—the baby’s—heart-rate and blood pressure plummeted drastically, her husband Doug began requesting prayer. The world-wide response was incredible, with Believers around the world storming “Heaven for a miracle.”

Her daughter, Gabriella was born healthy, but Melanie had reportedly been clinically dead for 10 minutes before finally being resuscitated. She had suffered an “amniotic fluid embolism” and had lost copious amounts of blood. The prognosis was dire.

Reporter Peter Baklinski with LifeSiteNews continues: “With her catastrophic hemorrhaging, three back-to-back emergency major surgeries, heart and lung failure, and possible brain damage, the odds were overwhelmingly stacked against Melanie. The doctors gave her a zero percent chance of survival. Doug was told to say ‘goodbye’ to the love of his life.

Australia’s leading ‘conservative’ politician backs away from pro-life, pro-family positions

by Hillary White – Rome Correspondent –Fri Oct 21, 2011  

CANBERRA, October 20, 2011 (LifeSiteNews.com) – The leader of Australia’s opposition party, often referred to in the media as a social conservative, has said this week that should he be elected, his government would not consider changing the country’s abortion laws.

Tony Abbott, a Catholic and self-described “conservative,” is federal leader of the centre-right Liberal Party.

In response to a question about whether he would consider moving Australia back to its old abortion laws, Abbott told The Age, “Look at the record in government. It didn’t happen.”

And it won’t happen?

“No.”

End of story?

“End of story.”

Abbott also told The Age newspaper that his government would not try to outlaw the deadly abortion drug RU-486.

Smith Wigglesworth’s Prophetic Word of Australia’s Mighty Revival

Dear family & friends in Christ,

Over the last weekend Pr Daniel ministered at a Four Square Gospel Church and an AOG church in Sydney, Australia where more than 400 people in all attended the 4 revival services.

The Spirit of God moved mightily at every service, with many receiving a fresh touch and supernatural encounter from the awesome presence of the Lord Jesus Christ!

I am sure many of you have heard, that at the beginning of the 20th century, Smith Wigglesworth prophesied about Australia’s mighty revival and how God will use Australia to impact the nations.

3 years ago Pr Daniel ministered at the same AOG church in Sydney, where he just preached over the weekend. The Senior Pastor of this church was Pr Norm Armstrong, who is now 95 years old. Pr Daniel feels that now is the time to share what happened at that meeting 3 years ago.

As Pr Norm got up to introduce Pr Daniel to preach to the congregation, he suddenly came under a great anointing of the Holy Spirit, and started sharing about what happened when he was a young boy.

He said, “My father was a Salvation Army officer who sold insurance policies for a living. One of his customers was an elderly lady who would all ways tell him, ‘Son you need to be baptised in the Holy Spirit’. One day the lady got him through the Holy Spirit, he was baptised in the Holy Spirit and started speaking in tongues. This resulted in him having to leave the Salvation Army. Then my father went on to start a Pentecostal gathering at our home. Our home was possibly one of the first places in Australia in the early 1900’s where the Holy Spirit was free to move.

Amazing Church Growth in South Korea

Dan Wooding : Oct 12, 2011 : Assist News

“We have those at our church who are preparing to take the Gospel into North Korea which I believe will soon open up, but possibly just for a short time. These people realize that the door may not be open for long and they are willing to lay down their lives—become martyrs—for Jesus Christ.” -Dr. Jaerock Lee

(Seoul, South Korea)—The church began in 1982 with 13 members and, even by Korean standards, it has experienced amazing growth.

Manmin—it means “all people”—Central Church in Seoul, has grown to 100,000 members and has over 9,000 branch churches around the world, two television networks (which will soon merge) and a full-time professional orchestra.

This past weekend, members celebrated the 29th anniversary of the church.

The various anniversary celebrations began with an almost “all-night service” on Friday, October 7, 2011, which started at 11:00 PM and finished at 4:00 AM the next morning, with a short break part way through.

It featured more than 400 singers, colorful dancers and musicians plus the Nissi Orchestra and a large church choir who, between them, produced a dazzling display of multi-media worship presentations whose productions standards were the highest I have ever seen in a church anywhere in the world.

‘I would do it again 100 times’: Muslim father ‘murdered his THREE daughters in honour killing for dating wrong boys

A Muslim father charged with murdering his three daughters in apparent honour killings has said he would do it again – even if they came back to life 100 times.

Mohammad Shafia, 58, cursed his daughters Zainab, 19, Sahar, 17, and Geeti, 13, saying they were ‘treacherous’ as he likened them to prostitutes during a conversation that was recorded by police.

He is on trial for their murders after they were found dead in the family car along with Shafia’s first wife, Rona Amir, 50, in the Rideau Canal, located in the Kingston area of Ontario in Canada in 2009.

Initially police thought the family had been involved in an accident and Shafia told them during an interview that he didn’t know where they were.

However, his version of accounts did not add up and he was arrested and charged with their murder.

Shafia, who moved to Canada from Afghanistan with his family, is polygamous and after his arrest was heard telling his second wife, Tooba Yahya, that their daughters had brought shame on the family. He said: ‘Even if, God forbid, they hoist us on to the gallows… we accept it wholeheartedly’, a day after his arrest.

The court heard the recordings in which Shafia talks about his daughters and the fact that they were dating while ranting about the family’s honour.

Communist Leader Raised from the Dead / 1 Million Salvations Every Month – Revival in China / Brother Yun at CTFM Melbourne on 27/11/11

Dear family & friends in Christ,

1) We at Catch The Fire were absolutely blessed last Sunday as we heard the powerful testimonies shared by the team which came from the Underground Church in China and the Back to Jerusalem Movement!

Although Brother Yun was not permitted to board his flight from Bangkok to Melbourne, due to a problem with his documentation, and was therefore unable to be at the meetings at CTFM, the Spirit of God moved most powerfully through Uncle Tang (Bro Yun’s Pastor), who has served the Lord for 30 years in China and still is!

The CTFM base was absolutely packed out for both services with around 750 people attending in total. The church sanctuary was so full we that we had to use the overflow room with projector screens. The people who gathered were mightily blessed through the amazing testimonies of what the Lord Jesus Christ is doing in the Underground Church in China.

Brother Yun is now expected to arrive this week in Melbourne and we prayerfully hope to have him minister at CTFM in Hallam (Melbourne)on Sunday 27th of Nov 2011 at the 9.30am service only. Please stay tuned in to CTFM email for updates and further details.

It was so exciting to hear that only around 30-40 years ago the Church in China was severely persecuted and quite small. However, as the faithful Christian believers cried out to the Lord, He heard their cry and sent a mighty Holy Spirit revival!

Uncle Tang said, “Suddenly one day, miracles started happening everywhere and thousands of people were getting saved.” Now, it is estimated that more than 30,000 people come to Jesus every day and 1 million people every month! Glory to God. They believe that the current conservative estimate of on-fire Christians in China is around 150 million people!

The moment man was publicly beheaded in a Saudi Arabian car park for being a ‘sorcerer’

By Oliver Pickup – 31st October 2011

Shocking footage has surfaced of a Sudanese man being publicly beheaded in Saudi Arabia for being a ‘sorcerer’.

Crouched on his knees and blindfolded, Abdul Hamid Bin Hussain Bin Moustafa al-Fakki was executed in a car park Medina, in the west of the country, as dozens looked on last month.

The grainy footage – which MailOnline believes is too graphic to publish – shows the executioner lining his sword up on the back of Abdul Hamid’s neck, before one swift stroke decapitates him.

The Sudanese man, who was killed on September 20, is believed to have been the 44th person executed in Saudi Arabia this year – and the 11th foreign national.

The total for 2011 is 17 more than for the whole of 2010.
