Media release – Atheist PM not good for dark chapter in Australia’s history

It is very sad that this dark chapter in Australia’s history is led by an atheist Prime Minister in Julia Gillard and an openly homosexual Greens leader who seems to be the Deputy Prime Minister by default, both who have no regard for God nor Prayer.

Catch the Fire Ministries president Dr Daniel Nalliah said Julia Gillard was not elected by the majority of the Australian people, but rather the personal decision of two power hungry independent MPs who catapulted Ms Gillard to the top job.

“Are we Aussies all paying for that decision? It is very well known that throughout history, in a time of national crisis, Kings, Prime Ministers and Presidents of countries around the world have turned to God, irrespective of whether they were Christian, Buddhist, Hindu or Muslim and asked for help or at least called the nation to pray for protection and for the victims of the disaster,” Dr Nalliah said.

“However, for the past several weeks, right through the flood crisis across Australia, I have not heard our Prime Minister call the people of Australia to pray and ask God for protection and for help for the tens of thousands of people who have become victims of this major disaster,” he said.

“Even the secular media personalities stated several times, ‘Our prayers and thoughts are with you’, but did we hear our PM make any such statements at all or did I just miss out on it?”

Dr Nalliah said, conversely under the Howard Government when Australia was going through a major drought crisis, he recalled how Mr Howard called on the nation to pray for rain in 2007, then followed a National Prayer Gathering in Federal Parliament on 22 October 2007. Within 24 hours the rains started pouring down in many parts of Australia.

Urgent Prayer Alert – Cyclone Yasi – QLD and Cyclone Bianca – WA

CycloneDear family and friends in Christ across Australia,

We first want to thank the Lord for answered prayer regarding the Murray river in Victoria not reaching its expected peak, as you would know that there were 3 rivers all coming together in one place and Swan Hill in Victoria was about to face major disaster. However, glory to our Heavenly Father as He once again answered the earnest prayer of His children!

I was speaking to a farmer from the area who brought it to my attention that the 3 rivers suddenly started to stagger their flow of water, therefore resulting in the expected water not coming together all at once. It was as though someone was holding up the water and sending it little by little. I was thinking of how the Lord God supernaturally held up the river Jordan for the Israelites to cross.

Praise be to our sovereign Creator God that Swan Hill did not go under water as predicted by the news media. The disaster was definitely averted through prayer.

Now the breaking news in Australia is that there are 2 Cyclones rapidly approaching our shores, Cyclone Bianca heading towards WA and Cyclone Yasi heading towards QLD.

1) We give all praise, honour, and glory to our wonderful Lord and Saviour, as hundreds of lives have been so powerfully transformed over the last few days at CTFM in Hallam (Melbourne) that they will never be the same again!

Around 250 people gathered each night at Catch The Fire Apostolic Centre in Hallam to hear the powerfully anointed Word of God preached by Rev Donnie Swaggart from last Thursday 27th through Sunday night 30th January.

Some people travelled 3-4 hours from country Victoria and others from interstate to be at these Revival meetings and to receive a great impartation from the Holy Spirit through the man of God. Every night people entered into the presence of God in worship and were soaked in the anointing of the Holy Ghost!

As brother Donnie got up each night to preach, the people of God were ready to receive the Word of the Lord with great excitement and much joy!

God used His servant to really challenge His people to ‘Rise up and take a stand for Jesus. Stop compromising the Word of God, but speak it out boldly and with love!”

Man Without Limbs: Live Without Limits

Nick Vujicic - World Renown Inspirational Speaker and EvangelistBy Michelle A. Vu – Christian Post Reporter

Even with arms and legs, most people have not surfed in Waikiki Beach, conducted a 60-piece orchestra, gone to the slums of India and Egypt, or performed circus stunts for a Hollywood movie. But a man born without limbs did all that and more by the age of 27.

Nick Vujicic, known worldwide through his YouTube videos and DVDs, wants to challenge people to live without limits by looking at what he can do despite his disability. His new book, Life Without Limits: Inspiration for a Ridiculously Good Life, takes a personal look at his struggles growing up, including depression and suicidal thoughts, and how he overcame them.

“Too often we tell ourselves we aren’t smart enough or attractive enough or talented enough to pursue our dreams,” writes Vujicic, an inspirational speaker and evangelist. “What’s worse is that when you consider yourself unworthy, you are putting limits on how God can work through you.”

Pakistan Minister Condemns Reward for Killing Christian Woman

Spread of IslamWorld Sun, Dec. 05 2010 – By Ethan Cole – Christian Post Reporter

Pakistan’s Federal Minister for Minorities Affairs Shahbaz Bhatti condemned Saturday the recent announcement of a reward for killing the jailed Christian woman on death row for blasphemy.

Bhatti said the call is unjust and irresponsible and should be discouraged in the strongest possible manner because no one has the right to issue a decree to kill someone else, according to Pakistan’s Daily Times newspaper. He also added that Pakistan is a civilized country and violation of the rule of law is not allowed.
“Every legal and constitutional means will be adopted in the Asia Bibi case,” assured Bhatti, who was in charge of investigating the case and reported that Bibi was innocent to President Asif Ali Zadari.

A hard-line imam known for making similar reward-for-murder calls in the past offered about $6,000 (500,000 rupees) to anyone who kills Asia Bibi during his sermon at the largest mosque in Peshawar on Friday. Imam Maulana Yousuf Qureshi also threatened the government to not amend or repeal the blasphemy laws “which provide protection to the sanctity of Holy Prophet Muhammad,” according to Asia News.

Urgent Prayer for Swan Hill in Victoria – Murray River expected to peak / Australia Day United Prayer / Purchase of Land for CTFM

Pastor Daniel NalliahPastor Evangelist Donnie Swaggart from USADear family & friends in Christ in Australia and around the World,

1) All praise and thanksgiving to our forever faithful Heavenly Father, as we have seen the mighty hand of our Lord God at work every time His children earnestly prayed and asked Him to avert further disaster right throughout the flood crisis in Australia! 

Starting with Chinchilla, Rockhampton, St George, Toowoomba & Brisbane which are all in Queensland, then Horsham and the surrounding towns in Victoria, all were miraculously saved from major disaster when Bible-believing God-fearing Christians cried out to the Lord of the heavens and the earth!

Right now the urgent media news in Victoria is that the Murray River is about to break its banks and is expected to reach its peak level in the next 24 hours. This would result in Swan Hill and many surrounding towns going under water.

Once again would you please prayerfully petition Heaven’s throne room and ask the Lord to stop the river from reaching its peak as predicted. For those of us who have not been affected by the floods, I don’t think that we can even imagine what the people in these towns are going through. So please take some time and cry out to the Lord for mercy. Also pray that many will turn to Jesus through this crisis.

Never Before Seen Phenomenon Shows Thunderstorms on Earth Hurling Anti-matter into Space

Fermi GBM Position Eventby News Release: Jan 17, 2011: NASA

“These signals are the first direct evidence that thunderstorms make antimatter particle beams.”

REPORTER’S NOTE: In this life, there are two things that assault the mind—and the senses—more than any other: unconditional, unwarranted love (grace), and the manifestation of power in the natural and the supernatural realm. Both have explosive repercussions. I think that’s what fascinated me most about this report; the visual of thunderstorms seen from space and the power unleashed from them, not only on earth, but above the storms themselves. It’s a picture of the power of Christ’s love and the power of prayer. When we share the Gospel, or a testimony of salvation or healing, a spiritual tsunami is released in every direction. Watch the video provided in the source link for this report and prepare for goose bumps. Wow! -Teresa Neumann

Scientists using NASA’s Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope have detected beams of antimatter produced above thunderstorms on Earth, a phenomenon never seen before.

Scientists think the antimatter particles were formed in a terrestrial gamma-ray flash (TGF), a brief burst produced inside thunderstorms and shown to be associated with lightning. It is estimated that about 500 TGFs occur daily worldwide, but most go undetected. (NASA.gov)

Ted Williams’ Mom: “God Has Answered My Prayer”

Ted and Julia WilliamsJan. 6, 2011

Ted Williams, “Man with Golden Voice,” Speaks

(CBS)  Ted Williams, the homeless man with the pitch-perfect voice found panhandling on the side of an Interstate highway ramp in Columbus, Ohio, apparently won’t be homeless – or jobless for long.

He was spotted by a reporter, who made a video of Williams that went viral on YouTube, attracting three million hits.

Then, he appeared in an exclusive interview on “The Early Show” Wednesday. And he’s been inundated with job offers ever since.

But his biggest wish is – to reunite with his 90-year-old mother, Julia Williams, who’s back in Brooklyn, where he grew up.

And Ted flew to New York to finally see his mom again.

Kangaroo Island in SA Catches the Fire of the Holy Spirit!

Kangaroo Island Catches the Fire of Holy Spirit!Dear family & friends in Christ,

So much has happened right across our nation over the last weekend, but amongst it all, we thank our Lord Jesus Christ for His powerful hand at work in our nation of Australia!

Although we are experiencing only a little of God’s manifest presence right now in the Body of Christ and Nation of Australia, we are sure we will soon experience a mighty spiritual outpouring of His Holy Spirit throughout our Great South Land with a supernatural flood of Living Water from Heaven’s Throne Room, washing and cleansing our Nation, preparing her for the soon coming of our Bridegroom Saviour, Lord, Judge, and King!

Pr Daniel ministered on the weekend gone by on Kangaroo Island in South Australia in revival meetings which were organised by the Uniting Church leadership on the island. Many Churches and Pastors from the island united as one to seek the Father’s heart for our nation as the Spirit of God moved most powerfully touching many lives and healing many others. The people gathered were absolutely blessed and were set on fire for Jesus!

Pr Daniel stated, ‘I am so glad to see the body of Christ unite as one to seek the Father’s heart. Particularly, I was very excited to see the 2 Uniting Church Ministers, both ladies, so much on fire for Jesus. They even prophesied over me and challenged me to keep standing for Jesus. I was wondering to myself, is this really happening? Uniting Church Ministers praying in tongues and prophesying. Well, glory to God there are many Uniting Church Leaders who have refused to compromise their stand for Jesus. They are under constant attack, but praise God they are part of the remnant rising up to take a stand for Jesus. I believe that the Lord is rising up His remnant from every denomination as the Kingdom of God. I thank the Lord for the opportunity he has given me as I travel all over Australia to work with the body of Christ, and not just one particular denomination. They are a faceless and nameless people who I believe will rise up and lead an end-time revival move of God’s Holy Spirit!”

Tragedy, Judgment, Grace

Bill Muehlenberg of CultureWatchCultureWatch – 11.01.11 – Bill Muehlenberg’s commentary on issues of the day…

Whenever a major disaster or national tragedy breaks forth, a heated debate tends to arise within Christian circles. Opinions tend to be polarised, with two sets of extremes on offer. On the one hand are those who claim this is all the judgment of God, and people need to repent. On the other hand are those who argue that God would never do such things, and it is ridiculous to drag God into any of this.

From a biblical point of view, I tend to find both perspectives unhelpful. The truth is, we often simply do not know – and are not told – why a particular event happens. Are the floods in Queensland the direct and specific work of God, whether in judgment or for some other reason?

Who knows? I can’t say that it is or it is not. We simply cannot know for certain. So we need to be careful about rushing to judgment here. The truth is, when God acted in the Old Testament, he generally revealed his purposes in his actions. He would communicate his purposes to man, often through his prophets. Thus divine actions were explained by divine speech.

We now refer to this as speech acts. God acts, but he utters his intentions along with it. There are countless examples of this found in the Old Testament. For example, Yahweh says to Jeremiah, “When you tell these people all this and they ask you, ‘Why has the LORD decreed such a great disaster against us? What wrong have we done? What sin have we committed against the LORD our God?’ then say to them, ‘It is because your ancestors forsook me,’ declares the LORD, ‘and followed other gods and served and worshiped them. They forsook me and did not keep my law’” (Jer. 16:10-11).

Prayers answered – Brisbane river did not reach its expected peak

Crowd at parliament stepsDear family & friends in Christ across Australia and around the World,

We thank our faithful Heavenly Father for the tremendous answer to yesterday’s prayers as the Brisbane river did not reach its expected peak. Thank you so much for praying.

When around 100 Bible-believing God-fearing Christians gathered at the Victorian Parliament steps yesterday 12th January a few people asked Pr Daniel as to why he gave such short notice regarding the prayer meeting. He responded, “It was because the  need was immediate and he had the sudden prompting of the Holy Spirit to stand in the gap for the Queensland and our nation of Australia.  It was not so much about how many people came for the meeting as it was about Bible-believing God-fearing Christians around the nation uniting in prayer and standing together in the gap for our nation.”

We thank God that last night Channel 9 and Channel 7 News covered part of the prayer meeting on the steps of the Victorian Parliament, taking the need for prayer to homes all across Australia.
