ObamaReligious leaders tell president-elect Israel must remain under Jewish control

JERUSALEM – A group of hundreds of prominent Israeli rabbis this week urged President-elect Barack Obama to “implement the will of God” during his upcoming presidency by ensuring the entire state of Israel remains under Jewish sovereignty.

“According to media publication of the prayer you recently placed in the Western Wall, you asked God: ‘make me an instrument of your will.’ Consistent with your focus on the will of God we trust that you are aware of the will of God when it comes to Jewish sovereignty in the entire Land of Israel,” wrote the Rabbinical Congress for Peace in a letter delivered to Obama.

The Congress is a coalition of more than 350 Israeli rabbinic leaders and over 850 rabbis from abroad, including in the U.S. (more…)

Harvest Crusade NYBy Teresa Neumann

“There is no more important decision you will ever make than to put your faith in Jesus Christ, because it literally has life or death consequences attached to it.”

(New York, NY)—Last weekend, Pastor Greg Laurie spoke to 13,000 attendees at the New York Harvest Crusade at Madison Square Garden, one of a series of crusades held throughout the country.

Speaking about the loss of his 33-year-old son Christopher on July of this year, Laurie said: “If I didn’t have Christ in my life, I don’t know how I could bear it. But because I am a Christian and because Christopher is a Christian, I know I will see him again. (Photo: Harvest Christian Fellowship) (more…)

The Storm Is Coming!!!

John Paul Jackson (Put Australia in the place where United States is mentioned as you read…)

For those of you who have followed this ministry, you have heard me say more than once during the past eight years that from 2009 or 2010, things will become very difficult. I have been praying and hoping that what I am about to write may be averted. However, I am now concerned that without prophetic people speaking up, we will not play our redemptive part in bringing change for the good.

FIVE ELEMENTS OF THE BREWING PERFECT STORM

As in the movie The Perfect Storm, the storm I see coming to the United States is a combination of more than one element, and when the elements unite, the storm becomes exponentially more dangerous. However, unlike the movie, this storm is not just a storm of merging weather patterns. This storm is worse; it involves five different elements: religion, politics, economics, war and geo-physical events. (more…)

How to be a useful idiot: Saudi funding in Australia

ABC, Unleashed, 13 October 2008

The Griffith fiasco

In 2007 it was revealed that the Saudis were planning a $2.7 billion scholarship fund for Australian universities, designed to facilitate the entry of Saudi students into Australia to undertake tertiary education in the face of restrictions on their entry into the US and UK in the post-9/11 security environment.

What Will It Take?

Dear friends

One. Sometimes I wonder what it will take to rouse a sleeping church. Will we have to start going to prison or face other penalties before God’s people begin to wake up? I am still grieving about the story of Warwick Marsh of the Fatherhood Foundation. This Christian pro-family activist has spent tens of thousands of volunteer hours helping men not commit suicide; make a go of life, etc. An ideal appointment as a Men’s Ambassador.

Yet the Rudd Government thought he was unqualified because he cared more about the well being of children than wanting to advance the cause of the radical homosexual lobby. Therefore he was dumped, and Kevin Rudd – who campaigned as a Christian to win their votes – said it was a “mistake” to appoint Marsh.

I have written up this whole ugly affair here: http://www.billmuehlenberg.com/2008/11/28/coercing-tolerance/

Please have a read, and then perhaps allow for a bit of righteous indignation. But don’t just get angry; do something. Please write to Health Minister Nicola Roxon and share your concerns, in your own words: Nicola.Roxon.MP@aph.gov.au (more…)

A wonderful evening of fellowship, food and lots of laughter – which was heard from those gathering at the Catch The Fire End of Year “Get-2-Gether” where 100 happy people gathered to enjoy a special night together!
Familes chatted and friendships renewed as an evening of honouring saw Pastor Danny & Maryse present small gifts of appreciation to team members, expressing their thankfulness for support and co-operation toward the vision.

This event is always looked forward to and year by year we seek larger venues as the team grows. A sense of excitment at the new year so full of promise and new premises to move into, to facilitate the busy office and extensive activity, was evident from those gathered. (more…)

FAITH UNDER FIRE – Criminalizing Christians Loosing Steam At U.N

But religious rights advocates warn plan still a danger to Western world!

Jay Sekulow

Jay SekulowA leading advocate for religious rights says an Islam-sponsored religious anti-“defamation” resolution pushed in the United Nations appears to be losing support but still remains a rattlesnake to Christianity around the world.

“U.N. Watch, a Geneva-based organization that monitors the U.N.’s Human Rights Council, acknowledged what we have stated all along that the resolution is ‘aimed at the Western world to intimidate anyone from criticizing radical Islam,'” said  Jay Sekulow of the American Centre for Law & Justice.

As WND reported, the organization raised alarms about the plan supported by the 57 member -nations of the Organization of the Islamic Conference.

The group repeatedly has lobbied since 1999 for the plan, based on the Cairo Declaration of Human Rights in Islam, “which states that all rights are subject to Shariah law, and makes Shariah law the only source of reference for human rights.” (more…)

News – Truth And Freedom Of Speech Removed, Discrimination Against Christians Now Acceptable!

Warwick MarshOfficial government policy – if you don’t think homosexuality is normal YOU have a problem. You are to be discriminated against!
Rhetoric now supersedes truth!

Health Minister Nicola Roxon has dumped a fine Christian and a strong advocate for fathers because he was associated with a book stating that ‘Gender matters’. This week he was appointed as a ‘men’s health ambassador’ – now he’s been dumped!
Warwick Marsh founded the Fatherhood Foundation to support and encourage fathers. In 2007 it produced a book supported by sound research about the importance of gender and male heterosexuality.
In other words it supported the Biblical position, not the current politically correct policy that ‘any sex is OK’. The latter is now official government policy.
 
Nicola Roxon, and by implication the Prime Minister, has now stated that homosexuality is more important than fatherhood. (more…)

Woman healed after 40 years of deafnessDear Friends and Family in Christ,

In Hallam (Melbourne) on Thursday (27th) & Friday night (28th) those hungry for the presence of God gathered to worship, honour and praise the One True and Living God for His goodness and grace. Two glorious nights where visiting travellers came from New South Wales and South Australia to drink from the river of God poured out during this 5-6 months.

Husband Hugs Wife As She Receives Healing From GodTestimonies continue to flow concerning healings, deliverance from darkness and depression and a glorious freedom enabled others to be set free from hindrances and oppression. The presence of God was so strong that many people simply rested in the Spirit being saturated with the Lord. Many conveyed their joy of how the passion ignited within them at the meetings has compelled them to witness and see souls saved from destruction.

Over the last 25 weeks, we have witnessed a wonderful visitation and outpouring of the Spirit of God into the lives of His people, equipping them to effectively re-produce for the Kingdom of Light, growing in grace and goodness, as they have dwelt in His presence. We know that each one who has received from the Lord will take the deposit received and fervently follow the Word in these troubled times. (more…)

Catch The Fire Ministries Centre – Building Fund Appeal

Catch The Fire BuildingDear Family and Friends in Christ,

It is with great excitement and resounding joy I bring to your attention the following news!

Based on the outcome of a season of fervent and lengthy prayer, The Board of Catch The Fire Ministries has decided the time is right to purchase a building to establish a base for CTFM which would incorporate our offices with an auditorium.  This will be a place for the body of Christ to meet from all denominations.

CTFM BuildingIt has been my desire to see this come to pass for the last 3-4 years. Some members of our CTFM team have sought the Lord for our ‘home base,’ from our commencement 10 years ago. We have hired/used venues across Melbourne (over the years) to host the Rise Up Australia prayer meetings, seminars & conferences we have held during this time.

I give all glory to God for making it possible to have our own building from 2009!

We desire to see the CTFM Centre serve the body of Christ and the community. The following is our short term and long term goals to achieve at the Centre: (more…)

Salt Shakers E-News: Victoria – Final Vote On IVF Bill NEXT WEEK

Victoria’s Legislative Council is due to have the final third reading VOTE on the Assisted Reproductive Treatment Bill – giving  IVF for lesbians, homosexuals and single women NEXT WEEK – the FIRST week in DECEMBER.

This Bill gives IVF for lesbians, homosexuals and single women, allows them to be registered as ‘parents’ and opens up surrogacy.

After passing a second reading vote by 20 to 18, the Bill was sent off to the Legislation Committee for ‘review’. The Committee will report back to the Council by 1 December.
 
If you live in Victoria, it is vital that we contact our FIVE Members in the legislative Council to ask them to vote AGAINST the Bill.
 
Petition – A petition is being circulated – it highlights the serious consequences of the Bill in allowing people who have NO biological link to the child (a lesbian partner or homosexuals who ‘commission a surrogate child’) to be registered as ‘parents’.
The Bill ignores the rights of the child to be raised by its biological mother and father. (more…)

Australian Committee Proposal To Pay Mothers to Abort Disabled Babies Compared To Nazis

By Hilary White

CANBERRA, November 13, 2008 (LifeSiteNews.com)

The Australian Parliamentary Group on Population and Development has been slammed by Queensland Senator Ron Boswell for holding to Nazi-style eugenic ideology on the abortion of disabled children.

“This revisiting of eugenics principles is repugnant to a society that prides itself on the contribution of all,” Boswell said.

The pro-abortion group had made a submission, signed by 41 Australian MPs, to the parliamentary committee that is examining the issue of abortion in Australia. The group said paying women a Medicare rebate for second-trimester abortions would save the government about $180,000 a year, due to the high costs of caring for handicapped babies who are allowed to be born.
