Scrolls of the Nations Prophetic Word from the Lord to the Nation of Australia
Dear family & friends in Christ in Australia, The 'Scrolls of the Nations' prophetic word from the Lord was received by one of our CTFM intercessors at our weekly prayer…
Report on Options Plus Care Orientation Day – Pregnancy Crisis Counselling
Dear family & friends in Christ,
Â
Around 100,000 babies are aborted every year in Australia.
Â
We at CTFM thank the Lord for every single person who has been working tirelessly to reduce this number and we continue to pray against the legalisation and practice of abortion.
Â
No one thought that the slave trade would stop, but thanks to William Wilberforce and others it did. So too, we pray the same regarding the ending of abortion.
Â
I know we all need to pray and lobby our politicians, but what is equally important is to help these people not to have an abortion through counselling and supporting them. Yes, this is what Options + Care is all about. Even if someone decides to have an abortion after counselling, we will continue to love and help them as much as possible.Â
Â
Thank you so much for your prayer and practical support as the Options + Care Orientation Day on 17th April was a great success. Pas Daniel shared the vision that God gave him in 1998 while he was in the USA to be a Voice for the Voiceless. Sister Geraldine, the coordinator for O+C , shared her heart and passion to save the next generation of children in Australia. Then the team watched a very challenging DVD titled ‘After The Choice’ that included a group of women talking about what happened after their abortions. There was not a dry eye in the place as everyone watched these ladies share how they all suffered in silence for many years and pleaded with others not to have an abortion. (more…)
Many pray in Tongues for the first time, Healings & Salvations as Holy Spirit fire falls in Bellingen (Coffs Harbour), Canberra, & Hallam (Melbourne)
Dear family & friends in Christ in Australia and around the World,
1) What an amazing weekend it has been with exciting reports coming in from 3 different locations across Australia of God’s mighty presence transforming lives over the ANZAC weekend!
Pas Daniel ministered in Bellingen in NSW on Saturday night and at 3 services on Sunday as many people travelled from the surrounding country towns of Newcastle, Kempsey, Eungia Rail, Macksville, Nambucca Heads, Urunga, Coffs Harbour, Torminna, and Dorrigo to catch the revival fire of the Holy Spirit as God moved so powerfully in radically transforming lives for Jesus at all the meetings!
On Saturday night the service went on for almost 5 hours! On Sunday night 17 people (mostly youth and teenagers) responded to the altar call to receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit and within 7 minutes 14 of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and started praying in tongues for the very first time in their lives! Pas Daniel stated, “The youth were so excited, they were jumping for joy. This brought so much joy to my heart. This is the next generation being empowered to rise up for Jesus!”
A young man, who was known to some in the church as a real rascal in town, walked off the street into one of the meetings. He was radically touched by God and gave his life to Jesus on Saturday night. Pas Daniel prayed over him and gave him a BIG HUG. This somewhat surprised the young man and then he received a prophetic Word from the Lord. The next night he came for the meeting, sat through the whole service, then responded to the altar call for prayer, was filled with the Holy Spirit and prayed in tongues! He then approached Pas Daniel and gave him a hug. Glory to God as the supernatural transformation of this young man happened in just 24 hours! What a mighty God we serve! (more…)
God’s definition of ‘family’
by Greg Laurie – March 13, 2010
In my last column, I made a case for a biblical worldview, based on the watershed truth that there is a living God, and He has revealed Himself in Scripture.
With this in mind, we can ready ourselves to discuss some of the more controversial, “hot-button” issues in our culture today.
Going back to the Ten Commandments, you may remember that this list of 10 can be divided into two sections. The first four commands deal with man’s relationship with God, and the second six speak to man’s relationship with man. It is that second grouping of commandments in Exodus 20 that will speak most clearly to our “hot button” issues.
Verse 12: “Honor your father and mother …”
Isn’t it interesting … before a word is spoken about how to treat others, God starts with the family. (more…)
U.S. Court Rules that National Day of Prayer is Unconstitutional
John Jalsevac (Apr. 16, 2010)
A little history: June 30, 1812: It being a duty peculiarly incumbent in a time of public calamity and war, humbly and devoutly to acknowledge our dependence on Almighty God, and to implore His aid and protection:
Therefore, Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, that a joint committee of both Houses wait on the President of the United States, and request that he recommend a day of public humiliation and prayer to be observed by the people of the United States, with religious solemnity, and the offering of fervent supplications to the Almighty God for the safety and welfare of these States, His blessing on their arms, and the speedy restoration of peace. (Resolution requesting the President of the United States to recommend a day of public humiliation and prayer)
In a decision released Thursday, U.S. District Judge Barbara B. Crabb declared the National Day of Prayer unconstitutional. The decision comes in the case filed by The Freedom From Religion Foundation (FFRF), a Wisconsin-based organization, which challenged the constitutionality of a 1988 federal law giving the president the authority to designate the first Thursday in May as a National Day of Prayer. (“The First Prayer in Congress” by T.H. Matteson 1848)
The day of prayer “goes beyond mere ‘acknowledgment’ of religion because its sole purpose is to encourage all citizens to engage in prayer, an inherently religious exercise that serves no secular function in this context,” Crabb wrote. “In this instance, the government has taken sides on a matter that must be left to individual conscience.” (more…)
European Union Moves to Defend Persecuted Christians
Friday, February 26, 2010 – By Michael Ireland Chief Correspondent, ASSIST News ServiceÂ
Visit our web site at: www.assistnews.net — E-mail: assistnews@aol.com
WASHINGTON, D.C, (ANS) — The European Union (EU) has established a working group to protect persecuted Christians and prepare a manual for embassies of member states regarding the treatment of persecuted Christian minorities.
According to International Christian Concern (ICC) www.persecution.org, Italy’s Foreign Minister, Franco Frattini, in an interview yesterday with the Italian daily newspaper Avvenire said, “We could promote a group of like-minded countries who take to heart the right of Christians to profess their faith anywhere in the world. …You see, Christians have never had a political group offering them strong support through their governments.â€
ICC reported that the Foreign Minister also stated that his country will hold an international conference on religious freedom this year and will soon introduce a resolution at the United Nations General Assembly regarding the rights of Christians. (more…)

Canberra Revival for Jesus – Amazing Testimonies of Healings, Supernatural Dreams, Visions & Encounters with Angels
Dear family & friends in Christ in Australia and around the World,
Â
Over the past several weeks the increasing outpouring of God’s Holy Spirit in Canberra, Australia has been experienced by many hundreds of people from all walks of life! On some nights at the revival crowds of up to 300 people packed the hall at Canberra High School.
Â
Once again Monday night was glorious with spiritually thirsty people drinking from the river of God’s Presence while praising and worshipping Him for several hours at the altar!
Â
Pas Daniel said, “It was like an army that had just won a battle, celebrating its victory, and on its way to 
claim a nation! I was so blessed to see so many young people absolutely drunk with the new wine of the Spirit of God, worshipping the Lord so freely with tears streaming down their cheeks.â€
Â
Many at the revival meetings in Canberra received prophetic words from the Lord. On Monday night there was a real anointing for spiritual battle and the people stepped right into intercessory warfare for Australia. There was also an amazing sense of God’s Agape Love pouring out into everyone present as people hugged each other as one big family.
Many testified of having supernatural dreams and visions over the past few nights, including Angels being empowered in the heavens to triumph over Satan’s demonic powers of darkness, bringing great revival and transformation to Australia! They saw that the corporate worship and praise given from the united body of Christ to the Lord Jesus Christ was a key for the Angelic hosts of heaven to be further equipped and empowered to reclaim Australia for Jesus!

Victoria – Review of ‘hate crime’ laws
Salt Shakers E-News – Helping Christians Make A Difference
‘Hate crimes’ are under review in Victoria. If what is being proposed in one of the review documents is introduced into legislation, it will mean even MORE RESTRICTIONS on the freedom of speech.
In fact, if you OFFEND or INSULT a homosexual you could be hauled before the Equal Opportunity and Human Rights Commission – and with their NEW POWERS, the EOHRC could launch their own investigation into behaviour they think ‘offends’ someone! Churches and Christians will be under even more threat if this is put into legislation!
Last year Victoria’s Attorney-General Rob Hulls initiated changes to the Sentencing Act regarding the sentencing of hate crimes. The amendment requires a sentencing court to have regard to whether an offence was motivated (wholly or partially) by hatred of, or prejudice against, a group of people with common characteristics with which the victim was associated or with which the offender believed the victim was associated.
But that isn’t enough for Mr Hulls.
Mr Hulls has asked Hon Geoffrey Eames, a retired Supreme Court judge, to conduct a review of ‘Identity Motivated Hate Crime’ in Victoria to “determine whether current hate crime laws are adequate”. They are considering whether ‘hate crimes’ should be a specific part of the criminal law. (more…)
Canberra Revival extended another night as crowd nears 300 people – Healing of deafness, severe spinal problems and more, Mormons get saved, and 51 people receive baptism of Holy Spirit!!!
Dear family & friends in Christ in Australia and around the World,
Â
The Canberra revival meetings have been once again extended for another night, tonight Monday the 19th of April at 6.30pm at Canberra High School, Bindubi Street, Macquarie.Â
Do not miss this great opportunity you, your family, friends, and others to receive a miraculous life transforming encounter with Jesus Christ, the reigning King of kings and LORD of lords!Â
Â
We thank and praise God for His wonderful hand at work mightily in our nation’s capital city Canberra. Many who are attended the revival meetings commented that they had never ever seen anything like this in their lifetime in Canberra. Well, we believe this is God’s kairos time for our nation of Australia to rise up and step into His prophetic destiny, possessing this land that He has promised to give us as an inheritance, this Great South Land of the Holy Spirit!
Â
Over the weekend people packed the hall once again and every service went on for more than 4-5 hours as people from 29-30 churches, of all ages, from many ethnicities, cities, and walks of life, absolutely soaked in the mighty life transforming presence of God! Many people received Miraculous Healing, Deliverance, Salvation, Restoration, Reconciliation, and the list goes on and on as many glorified the Lord by giving testimonies of His amazing miracles, signs, and wonders in their lives!
Australia Bans Christian Schools from Teaching Creationism
By Thaddeus M. Baklinski ADELAIDE, South Australia, March 4, 2010 (LifeSiteNews.com) – http://www.lifesitenews.com/ldn/2010/mar/10030403.html
The South Australian Non-Government Schools Registration Board has published a new education policy that states it requires the ”teaching of science as an empirical discipline, focusing on inquiry, hypothesis, investigation, experimentation, observation and evidential analysis.” It then goes on to state that it “does not accept as satisfactory a science curriculum in a non-government school which is based on, espouses or reflects the literal interpretation of a religious text in its treatment of either creationism or intelligent design.”
The policy effectively bans the teaching of creationism in South Australian Christian schools.
A spokesman for the South Australian Non-Government Schools Registration Board is quoted by the Sydney Morning Herald saying there is no ban on teaching creationism. “It can be taught in religious studies,” said the spokesman.
However, Stephen O’Doherty, the chief executive of Christian Schools Australia, said that he believes the intention of the South Australian policy was to ban the teaching of the biblical perspective on the nature of the universe altogether. It was the only such subject singled out, he said. (more…)
Geert Wilders on course to be next Dutch prime minister
By Bruno Waterfield – The Telegraph – 05 March 2010
Municipal results announced on Thursday put his party in first place in Almere, a region near Amsterdam and second in The Hague, one the country’s largest cities and the seat of the Dutch government.
Â
If repeated in national elections on June 9, the Freedom Party could win 27 out of 150 seats, becoming the largest single party and putting him in line to become prime minister and form a new government.
Mr Wilders has called Islam a backward religion, wants a ban on headscarves in public life and has compared the Koran to Hitler’s Mein Kampf.
“We are going to conquer the entire country we are going to be the biggest party in the country,” he said after the vote. (more…)
Muslim leader wants elements of sharia in Australia
Sydney Morning Herald – Paul Bibby – March 8, 2010
Â
ELEMENTS of Islamic law – the sharia – should be legally recognised in Australia so that Muslims can live according their faith, a prominent Muslim leader says.
Addressing an open day at Lakemba Mosque on Saturday, the president of the Australian Islamic Mission, Zachariah Matthews, said parts of sharia could be recognised as a secondary legal system so that Muslims were not forced to act contrary to their beliefs. ”Sharia law could function as a parallel system in the same way that some traditional Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander law was recognised in the Northern Territory,” Dr Matthews told the Herald after the session.
”I don’t think we are so unsophisticated that we cannot consider a multilayered legal system as long as it doesn’t conflict with the existing civil system.”
The comments shocked some attending the open day. They felt Dr Matthews was advocating the introduction of the penal system under which women have been stoned to death for adultery, and corporal punishment is meted out for some offences. (more…)
Revival meetings in Canberra extended this weekend – Youth / Kids weep at altar – Healing, Deliverance & Salvation of Souls!
Dear family & friends in Christ in Australia and around the World,
1) All glory and honour to the reigning King of kings and the Lord of lords as He continues to increasingly pour out His Holy Spirit on all flesh!
Revival meetings will be continuing this weekend in Australia’s capital city of Canberra on Saturday 17th at 6.30pm & Sunday 18th April at 10am & 6.30pm. The venue is the Canberra High School, Bindubi Street, Macquarie.
Pr Daniel has cancelled his
weekend schedule in Melbourne to get back to Canberra to continue ministering in the ongoing Revival of the Holy Spirit and Fire! We at CTFM and many others across the wider Body of Christ are in awe of what the amazing Holy Spirit of God is doing in our nation’s capital of Canberra!
Pr Daniel stated, “In the past 13 years I have ministered in Canberra on several occasions, but I have never ever experienced such an open heaven in our capital city to see the supernatural manifestation of the Holy Ghost and power of God. On the contrary, I have told my ministry team that Canberra is the hardest place to breakthrough in all of Australia as there has previously been such a spiritual darkness over this city. But glory to God we are beginning to see the light of the glory of God breaking through as the demonic powers of darkness are losing their hold over the Capital of our nation of Australia. What the Spirit of the Lord is doing right now in Canberra is very significant for the Body of Christ and all of Australia. As our capital city Canberra increasingly catches the fire of the Holy Ghost revival, I believe that the Body of Christ and rest of our nation will experience a great breakthrough for the advancement of the Kingdom of God. I pray that manmade structures of religion, tradition, and political correctness will not get in the way of God’s divine glory and presence coming down from heaven to transform the earth.†(more…)
