Week 16: The Presence Of The Lord Fills His People At The Revival Meetings In Melbourne & Mildura/Lives Changed!

Touched By The Power Of GodDear Family and Friends in Christ,

Revival meetings this week both in Hallam, South East Melbourne and over the weekend in the country City of Mildura saw the Presence of the Lord fill His people causing healings, restoration, liberty and in the end: changed lives! The beauty of the Lord is evident as those who linger in His Presence glow with His enduement and empowerment…

In Hallam, Melbourne – Thursday and Friday nights:

Surrendered At The AltarOne very excited lady who had suffered from arthritis and was in constant, severe pain, that caused symptoms where she was not able to walk or stand for any length of time, shared her testimony that the week prior while worshipping the Lord she felt “like an electric heat” going through her back and hip and she wondered if she was healed. Not wanting to claim something until it was tested, she waited – testing her body thoroughly during the week and as pain did not occur, she walked 2 km with her friends with ease. This was formerly impossible! She knew God had healed her and she could not wait to testify to His glory! (more…)

Are YOU Meek – Or Weak?

Experts have determined that getting angry is bad for your health. According to one study, bad-tempered people were three times more likely to have heart attacks than their calmer counterparts.

Not only can anger harm our health, but it also can make us say and do things we later regret. Have you ever been absolutely furious, spoke your mind, and felt really good about it? But after the adrenaline wore off, you thought, What on earth did I just do? How often we regret things we have said or done in anger.

But sometimes we should be angry. It is called righteous indignation, and Jesus Christ himself displayed it on more than one occasion. What exactly awakened this righteous anger in Jesus? We find the answer in a familiar Bible story in which Jesus cleared the temple in Jerusalem of some corrupt businessmen. (more…)

EXCLUSIVE: Al Qaeda Targets Leading Arab Evangelist Operating In The U.S. For Preaching The Gospel To Muslims

By Joel C. Rosenberg

 (Washington, D.C.) You have probably never heard of Father Zakaria Botros.

But you need to know his story. He is far and away the most-watched and most-effective Arab-American evangelist focused on reaching the Muslim world, and by far the most controversial. The Rush Limbaugh of the Revivalists, he is funny, feisty, brilliant, opinionated, and provocative. But rather than preaching the gospel of conservatism, he is preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ. And his enemies do not simply want to silence him. They want to assassinate him.

Last week, I had the honor of interviewing Botros by phone from a secure, undisclosed location in the United States, where he now resides. He told me that he had just learned that an al Qaeda website had posted his photograph and named him one of the “most wanted” infidels in the world. The Radicals have even put a bounty on his head. The Christian Broadcasting Network reported the figure was as high as $60 million. Botros does not know for certain. But just to put that in context, the U.S. bounty on Osama bin Laden’s head is “only” $25 million. (more…)

Persecution And Systematic Destruction Of Christians In The Middle East Must Be Stopped!

By Rabbi Yechiel Eckstein

War On Jihad

Iranian FlagAn Islamic court in Shiraz, Iran , has just convicted two men of being infidels. Their crime? Converting to Christianity. The possible sentence? Death. Not too far away in Saudi Arabia, an outraged father recently hacked his own daughter to death for the same “abomination.”

In the daily drumbeat of Mideast news, there is one story of historic proportion that goes nearly unreported: the persecution and systematic destruction in the Islamic world of some of the world’s oldest Christian communities.

Sure, we hear when a Catholic bishop is murdered in Iraq, when machete-armed fanatics attack Egyptian Copt worshipers, or when churches are torched in Hamas-controlled Gaza. (more…)

Daughter Testifies Of Mothers Healing Of Blocked ArteriesDear Family and Friends in Christ,

Hungry people cry unto God for their nation’s transformation and this definitely took place during Thursday and Friday nights at the revival meetings this week, amongst an atmosphere where the Lord’s presence prevailed, empowering the declarations sung and spoken. Praise and worship which opened the heavens, enthroning our Sovereign God, allowed many at our monthly Rise Up Australia prayer meeting on the Friday night to intercede and carry in prayer our nation’s needs. Both nights heard a continuous stream of testimonies where God’s mighty healing and releasing power was expressed in people’s lives.

Fathers Surrendering to JesusPastor Danny shared with the Body of Christ gathered the important role of the fathers in the home and referred to the book of Malachi 4:5-6 “See, I will send you the prophet Elijah before that great and dreadful day of the LORD comes. He will turn the hearts of the fathers to their children, and the hearts of the children to their fathers; or else I will come and strike the land with a curse.”  God’s truth on restoring the fathers to the children and the children to the fathers is a powerful Word of God. The Holy Spirit ministered to many fathers in the congregation and tears of repentance, reconciliation and healing were witnessed. Sunday following was Father’s Day. (more…)

India: Hindu Extremists Burn One Nun Alive, Rape Another

Nirmala Carvalho – 26th August, 2008

A Catholic nun was burnt alive by a group of Hindu fundamentalists who stormed the orphanage she ran in the district of Bargarh (Orissa), this according to Police Superintendent Ashok Biswall.

A priest who was at the orphanage was also badly hurt and is now being treated in hospital for multiple burns.

Another nun from Bubaneshwar’s Social Centre was gang raped by groups of Hindu extremists before the building housing the facility was set on fire. Sources also told AsiaNews that elsewhere one priest was wounded and two other were abducted. The list of violent anti-Christian acts is thus getting longer. (more…)

Interfaith Hypocrisy

Dear Friends and Family in Christ,

King AbdullahWhile Australia is hosting the Interfaith Parliament of World Religions in Melbourne during December 2009, Saudi Arabia is playing the double game and taking the Western world for a ride! (read the following article) As Bible-believing God fearing Christians in Australia, we should be ashamed of spokesmen such as Tim Costello (the head of World Vision) for being one of the main promoters of this deceptive event in addition to other Christian leaders who support this ‘Interfaith Hypocrisy’ and refuse to speak out against it to protect their own self image and reputation. They are the ones who sell our Christian heritage and compromise the absolute truth of the Word of God and the Cross of Christ! (more…)

Week 13 – Holy Spirit Outpouring Continually Shaking Melbourne And His Revival Fire Spreads To Griffith, NSW – Alzheimer Healed, Operation Cancelled, Epileptic Seizures Ceased!

Some of the many highlights from Melbourne this last weekend:

Touched By The Power Of God1.       On Thursday night a young girl in the audience sent a note to Pastor Danny while he was preaching to state that her mother had collapsed and had been rushed to hospital in a critical condition with major heart problems. All at the meeting immediately prayed for her, and she took with her an anointed prayer cloth which she placed on her mother prior to the operation, claiming her healing in the Name of Jesus. The tests showed blocked arteries which would require an immediate by-pass operation, but most miraculously, just before the operation took place in the theatre, they did an angiogram which showed cleared arteriesDeliverance From Demons which surgery was not necessary! The mother was discharged from the hospital. All glory goes to our wonderful Healer, Jesus, who visited this mother in her time of need!

2.       A Hindu man who had come to the meetings in need of healing some 10 weeks ago, received his healing and began his life in Christ at that point. This man’s 26 year old daughter was booked in for surgery on her lower jaw. He, the Dad, applied a prayer cloth (prayed over in the meeting), and claimed the healing. The report was that the doctor stated no surgery was necessary! (more…)

Christians Promote “Parliament Of The World’s Religions”

The Parliament of the World’s Religions has caused us considerable concern over recent years as it promotes interfaith activities and puts all religions on a ‘level playing field’.

The next Parliament of the World’s Religions will be held in Melbourne in December 2009.
In Melbourne today, Thursday 6 December, there is a ‘launch’ to promote the Parliament and start taking registrations.

Of particular concern is that some Christians are actively promoting the event as something that ‘real’ Christians should endorse. Yes, ‘real’ is the word used! With the quote marks!

The official “Christian Media Alert” encourages Christian radio to support and promote the event and says “Some 200 religious and spiritual leaders will stand side-by-side at the launch, from Christian bishops to Muslim imams, Jewish rabbis, Hindu priests, Buddhist teachers and more.”
This ‘Christian Media Alert’ named Tim Costello and Rowland Croucher as promoting this event.
More on this aspect below… First, what is the Parliament of the World’s Religions’? (more…)

Dear Family and Friends in Christ,

Healed From DeafnessThe Melbourne based outpouring of Heavenly Kingdom activity continues to see people stream in from the far corners of the nation, ready to receive from the Lord the impartation needed to satisfy their hungry hearts and needing bodies.
