Following is the link to Pastor Daniel’s recent radio interview with Derryn Hinch of 3AW News in regard to our recent media release titled ‘Global cooling shows Divine protection restored – what would Derryn Hinch think?’

Pr Daniel stated, “Even though Derryn Hinch verbally attacked me with many harsh words, as he had the advantage of controlling the interview, I thank the Lord for every opportunity that He gives me to proclaim the uncompromising Word of God.  I feel sorry for Derryn who is obviously so lost in the spiritual darkness of confusion, uncertainty, doubt, and unbelief, as he seems to be a very hurting person who desperately needs the life transforming love of Jesus. My ministry team and I are praying for a ‘Damascus road salvation experience’ for him, also like the former Satanist on Mount Ainslie in Canberra who surrendered his life to Jesus.  Derryn could very well be another Saul, who became Paul. When you listen to this broadcast, please do not get mad with him, but pray for him.

Yes, at times the interview was very heated, but I thank God that He has given me broad shoulders to cop the flak.  According to the Bible in Matthew 5:11-10, the Sermon on the Mount from Jesus, “Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteous, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me.” I thank the Father in heaven for giving me the right spirit to love the person who persecutes me while at the same time speaking out the truth with boldness. I am sure you will love this interview Ha! ha!”

Please note that all of the comments of those who called and spoke on the talk back radio interview do no not appear on this link as they (especially the positive ones for Pr Daniel have been obviously edited out by Derryn Hinch)

We at CTFM continue to prayerfully bless Derryn Hinch with the amazing grace, mercy, forgiveness, truth, and life transforming love of the One True Living God, our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ!

We thank all of you who listened to the hotly heated interview, called or tried your best to call the 3AW Radio Station to make your voice heard, and all the faithful Christian prayers who continue to pray for the spreading of the Righteousness, Justice, and Truth of the Word of God that Jesus is Lord over Melbourne, over Victoria, over Australia, and the nations of the world!

1) Following is a link to the recent ABC Q & A program with atheist Richard Dawkins.  Also on the program were Julie Bishop (Liberal), Steve Fielding (Family First), Tony Burke (ALP) and a few others.

The main topic was Evolution vs. Creation.

Pr Daniel stated, “I watched this program yesterday as I missed the original broadcast. Sitting by my computer I was absolutely shocked and appalled at how Steve Fielding of Family First responded to the questions. On the contrary I was very impressed by both the Liberal & ALP politicians who spoke up very boldly about their Christian faith. Julie Bishop especially needs our applause and appreciation for being very bold in standing up and supporting the teaching of the Bible in all schools across Australia.”

Please take the time to watch and forward to everyone as this could determine who you vote for at the next Federal Election this November.

2) Please pray and listen if possible to Pastor Daniel’s next radio interview on 94.7FM Pulse Radio in the Greater Geelong area at 5:40pm on Friday 12th March.  Please call the radio station in Geelong on 5222 5947 after the interview to make your voice of support heard.

Keep praying for the matchless Name above all names, and the Prophetic Word of our Lord Jesus Christ, to be highly exalted throughout the Media (Radio, T.V. Newspapers, Internet, Etc.) across our nation of Australia, in this Great South Land of the Holy Spirit!

Tuesday, 02 February 2010 - Adrienne S. Gaines - Charisma Online News

A Messianic evangelist believes revival is breaking out among Jewish communities in the U.S.

Sid Roth, founder of Georgia-based Messianic Vision and host of the It’s Supernatural television broadcast, said he has seen dozens of Jewish Americans profess faith in Christ in recent months during evangelistic events in New York and California.

Last summer in Brighton Beach, N.Y., nearly 400 Russian Jews reportedly attended an evangelistic meeting billed as a lecture on the paranormal. People were healed, Roth said, including a wheelchair-bound woman who had not been able to walk for five years.

“There was just a move of God’s Spirit, and almost the entire group stood up to make public professions of Messiah,” Roth told Charisma.

Later, at a similar meeting in California, roughly 30 Jews professed faith in Christ. “In my opinion this is unprecedented in America,” said Roth, who has ministered among Jewish communities in the Soviet Union for more than 15 years. “I’ve been in Jewish ministry over 35 years, and I’ve never heard of anything like this before.”

During a trip to Israel last year, he said roughly 50 elderly Holocaust survivors professed faith in Christ during two meetings he led there. “Again, by Israeli standards, this is an unprecedented thing,” Roth said.
He believes the meetings mark a “change in the atmosphere” of Jewish evangelism. “I took those two meetings as signs that blindness was coming off the eyes of the Jewish people,” he said.

Because of his conviction, he launched a campaign late last year to mail copies of his book They Thought for Themselves to 1 million Jewish homes across the U.S. The book features the testimonies of 10 Jewish believers in Jesus, including former Brownsville revival leader Michael L. Brown and Messianic worship leader Batya Segal.

Since it was first published in 1996, the book has been translated into eight languages, and more than 600,000 copies have been distributed in the Soviet Union alone.

“Sure, a lot of [the books] will be torn up without even being read,” Roth said of the mailing campaign, “but the ones God is dealing with, they’re going to read this and they’re going to come to the Lord.”
He believes evangelizing the Jewish people carries prophetic significance.

“From a spiritual viewpoint, it’s going to cause an explosion,” he said. “Or I like the way Paul says it [in Romans 11:12], if it was a blessing when Jewish people rejected their Messiah, how much greater blessing when they receive their Messiah. It’ll be life from the dead, resurrection power. I think it’s going to release a resurrection power and miracle-working power in the church like we haven’t seen in our lifetime.”

Messianic Vision launched a Project 77 campaign to raise money for the evangelistic mailing. It asks for $77 donations to mail seven books to Jewish families. So far, Messianic Vision has raised enough money to mail 82,000 copies of the book, and someone recently made an anonymous $100,000 donation. Roth said after the first million copies are mailed, he hopes to begin mailing another million.

He said bringing together Jews and gentiles as believers in Jesus would create the one new man Paul describes in Ephesians 2 and lead to the greatest revival the world has ever seen. 

“Paul says the reason Jesus came was to break down the middle wall of separation between Jew and gentile [and] to form a new species of being that will be the dwelling place of God,” Roth said. “Well, I feel the church is incomplete without Jewish believers, and the church is incomplete without gentile believers. Each brings a special spiritual DNA to the table to make the complete dwelling place for God.

“When the family of David is restored, or the Jewish people, [Amos 9] describes the greatest gentile revival the world has ever seen,” he added. “So I see these Jewish people coming to the Lord, entering the church [and] forming the one new man to catapult the greatest gentile revival in history worldwide. That’s my vision. That’s what I believe.”

Media release - For immediate release

Despite warnings to the contrary, another ‘Black Saturday’ was averted through prayer and fasting, with the cooler temperatures across Victoria signalling divine restoration in that state.

Catch the Fire Ministries (CTFM) president, Pastor Daniel Nalliah said following the backlash against him for stating that the bushfires signalled God had removed His protection over the state, linked to Melbourne’s abortion laws, the ‘global cooling’ this past month showed divine protection has been restored in Victoria.

Pastor Nalliah pointed out that we have just finished the summer season 2010 with no major incidents of bushfires at all. Was this because of the State Government’s fire plan or was it because of a supernatural act of God?

“Contrary to grave predictions by the Weather Bureau and the State Government of an increase in deadly bushfires, this past Summer gone has been nothing short of a spectacular miracle!,” Pastor Daniel said.

“So when the Weather Bureau and the State Government warned everyone about the bushfire threat, were they lying like those who spooked the nations with the Global Warming Myth??  It seems now that there is Global Cooling!,” he said.

“Well, we thank and praise God that this bushfire season has been one of the mildest in many years and literally no lives were lost. God’s merciful love in restoring His divine protection over the state of Victoria and across Australia has been in response to the corporate repentance, fasting, and prayers of His Church according to the Bible in 2 Chronicles 7:13-14.”

“The Sunday Age recently had an article entitled, “Victoria spared the summer that could have been hell” http://www.theage.com.au/victoria/victoria-spared-the-summer-that-could-have-been-hell-20100227-pa9e.html. It was very interesting that there were no mention of all the prayers that have been going up to spare the state from bushfires,” he said.

“The truth is that Australia had more rain during summer than possibly any other season, in fact, so much rainfall during summer that water restrictions were eased in some states. The nation experienced record breaking rainfall, as stated on many media outlets.

“I hope that at least now the pundits, sceptics, and others will acknowledge that there is a righteous God in heaven above who looks down upon us on the earth. As the Lord God Almighty said in His Word the Bible in 2 Chronicles 7:13-14, “When I shut up the heavens so that there is no rain, or command locusts to devour the land or send a plague among my people, if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land.”

In October 2009, CTFM with Christians from many churches and denominations, dared to pray for Australia on Mount Ainslie in Canberra as well as around 30 other mountain tops, in addition to many churches, homes and parks.

“We had much opposition, but we took our stand, fasting and crying unto God in repentance prayer in the city where the seat of Government is, to protect our nation from predicted bushfires and other potential disasters,” Pastor Nalliah said.
 
Back in October 2009 Australian Media personality Derryn Hinch from 3AW Radio in Victoria, challenged Pastor Daniel and his faith in God by saying, “Let’s see whether your God can stop the bushfires.”  Pastor Daniel responded, “We are praying to God that the bushfire season in 2010 will be very mild and that there will be no lives lost.”  “I wonder what Derryn Hinch has to say now?”, Pastor Nalliah asked.

“So, will the Church, the Government, the Media, and the Nation acknowledge God’s Fire Plan, or will they continue to turn their back on God and see His hand of protection removed once again? We all know that September 11 2001 in the USA, the Boxing Day 2004 Tsunami in Asia, Earthquakes in Haiti & Chile ,and many other such disasters have brought millions of people to on their knees crying out for God to save them. I pray that we will not wait for a disaster to turn back to God and ask for His protection.

We at Catch The Fire Ministries, along with many other Bible-believing God-fearing Christians who have been unceasingly praying, thank the Lord Jesus Christ with all our hearts for protecting our nation as He promised in His Word.
 
“Australia, the one true living God has given us another chance. Will we turn back to Him? The decision is ours.”

Angela Shanahan | Saturday, 6 February 2010

The reports that a French parliamentary committee wants to ban the full face veil in certain circumstances has caused outrage among not only Muslims, but some respected Christian commentators as well. As an opinion writer who has closely followed issues of human rights and freedom of religion for The Australian newspaper, I too received a flurry of emails when the news broke.

One friend and colleague — the editor of Mercatornet, actually – seeking my opinion expressed his own: “To me, it seems crazy, a violation of freedoms, a victory for a certain brand of feminism, etc. But obviously, many respectable people take a different approach.”

Well, I am one of the “respectable” people to whom he refers (I hope). I do not agree with the wearing of a full face and body veil in the West. In these insecure times there are good reasons for banning it in government offices. I do not see this as a feminist issue. I do not see this as religious issue, despite the intervention of the Catholic church which has wrongly compared it to freedom for Christians in Muslim nations, most of which do not allow Christians any freedom to wear any symbols or practice their faith at all. No rather, this is a political issue.

The French have a huge problem. Due to a combination of their Francophone immigration laws and Muslim fertility rates, which are about four times the average in France, they have a Muslim population of about six million. However it is important to remember that this population comprises various types and streams of Islam, and this ban is really only aimed at the type of Islam which might encourage the wearing of the full face and body veil. In other words, it is aimed at the most fanatical and fundamental stream of Islam. And within that so called fundamentalist stream the full face veil is a lot more than a traditional religious symbol of modesty. It is a political symbol.

It is very important to remember this in any discussion of the veil. (See BBC graphic on this page for variations on the veil.) It is often very confusing for women in the West, because we see the veil as a form of sexual oppression. However, our Muslim sisters often see it quite differently. For them it can indeed be oppressive, in the sense of impractical, but that is unimportant compared with its symbolic value. For them it is a symbol of political freedom, not oppression. It was for this reason that it was embraced so fervently in Iran during the revolution, after being completely banned under the rule of the Shah Reza Pahlavi. The more it was banned the more the daughters of the Iranian revolution embraced it.

However, it is also true that there is a small minority of Islamic women for whom the full face veil is simply part of a cultural tradition. Many women wear it in parts of North Africa and it is absolutely mandatory in Saudi Arabia. If these women want to reside in France, they have to accept the other symbolism of the veil, and are unfortunately stuck in the middle of this. The latest proposals would prevent them from gaining residency. This is where the argument tends to shift, and subtle problems of what we in Australia call multiculturalism intrude into the argument.

Some people in Australia, and I admit that I have felt like this, think the current French approach towards any form of religious symbolism too heavy-handed, the result of an historically aggressively secular political tradition; a matter of cutting off the nose to spite the face, so to speak. Some years ago the French tried banning the hijab in schools, along with all other religious symbols. Recently they have had to compromise a bit, and although they will not allow the hijab , which is not the full face veil, they will allow scarfs. In Australia we do allow the hijab to be worn in most places, including schools.

Watching my former neighbours and my pupils in a Sydney girls school 20 years ago it seemed that one could get around quite well in a hijab, although it is awkward and many girls had started to give them up, especially when they went on to work or higher education.

More recently, however, a combination of political awareness and ethnic tensions in Sydney, and the particularly strident contribution of a particularly strident Mullah in western Sydney, has meant that to speak against the hijab is no longer merely to speculate on the future of an awkward garment. Suddenly girls and their families feel victimized. They can become aggressively anti the educational establishment (which doesn’t do girl’s education much good) and start deliberately wearing it — even to Bulldogs football games.
Australia’s problems, however, are as nothing compared with Europe’s. We have had an immigrant culture for our entire history of only 200 years; in Europe immigrant cultures, principally the new Muslim culture has quite suddenly intruded upon a nation steeped in ancient western traditions as well as juggling modern political realities. So the French have decided to draw the line. The line they have drawn is at the full face veil as a political symbol. Hence the recommendation that women who persist in wearing it will not have residency visas.

It seems glaringly obvious that since September 11 and the subsequent London bombings that we should go beyond the politically correct multiculturalism of a former, less insecure time. There are now definite Muslim enclaves in western urban centres where fundamentalist Islam can and does flourish. At the same time, the French government has a security obligation to all its citizens. This means encouraging religious freedom and tolerance, while at the same time discouraging political symbolism which encourages fanaticism under the guise of religious tolerance.

It is a new high-wire act we have avoided in Australia. The Europeans are not so fortunate. Blithely denying that this is a political issue, trying to turn it into a feminist issue or an issue of religious freedom, is really quite a blinkered view — a view which does not grasp modern cultural, demographic and political realities.

Following is an amazing Pro-Life speech made by Congressman Chris Smith from the US at the UN General Assembly. Interestingly in 1998 while working with the American Government on legislation to protect Christians from getting persecuted in Saudi Arabia, Pr Daniel had the opportunity of spending time with this same Congressman. In his office the Lord spoke to Pr Daniel to start ‘Options + Care’, the Pregnancy Counselling Centre in Australia, after listening to this Congressman debate a bill in the US Congress to stop 7 months abortion.

Read the whole speech below as it is very interesting and informative.

A powerful speech to the UN

Excerpts from a powerful speech - Chris Smith to the UN http://www.lifenews.com/int1465.html

“Safe abortion” is the ultimate oxymoron. Child dismemberment, forced premature expulsion from the safety of the womb, chemical poisoning or deliberate starvation-one of the chemicals in RU 486 actually denies nourishment to an unborn child– can never, ever be construed to be benign, compassionate or safe… Abby Johnson, a Planned Parenthood abortion clinic director in Texas, with 8 years at the facility, watched an ultrasound image of an abortion in progress on a 3 month old baby. Self described as “extremely pro-choice” but now “pro-life” she said she watched an unborn child “crumple” before her very eyes as the infant was vacuumed to death by a suction device 20- 30 times more powerful than a household vacuum cleaner. She said: I could see the baby try to move away, I just thought, what am I doing? She quit her job and said never again…

Distinguished ambassadors, I am deeply concerned that some very powerful people here at the UN are attempting to hijack the important and noble goal of reducing maternal mortality-MDG #5-by integrating legalization of abortion and expanding access to it. Often cloaked in the language of reproductive health, I respectfully ask that you do all in your power to continue to expose and clarify in clear, unambiguous terms that killing children and harming mothers by abortion is not reproductive health-it is a human rights abuse.

Both the government and the Coalition opposed the Bill. The proposal lost 45 votes to five - this means 25 Senators did not vote. Only the five Greens Senators voted for the Bill - showing that they are more about radical social engineering than the environment.

The ‘Marriage Equality Bill’ was tabled by Hanson-Young last year and the Senate decided to send it to Committee. The Committee called for public submissions and a record number were received. Whilst there was considerable opposition a substantial number of submissions were supportive due to the growing activities and organisation of the homosexual lobby.

The Senate Committee rejected same-sex marriage but made two recommendations that we totally reject, including the formation of a national framework to rejecter same-sex and heterosexual relationships. and that the Australian government provide ‘certificates of non-impediment’ to homosexuals and lesbians wanting to get ‘married’ overseas.

The Senate report was tabled late last year and no response to it has yet been made.

By a ‘coincidence’ (really an amazing example of God’s timing) we are in Canberra this week. Jenny and I spent Wednesday personally visiting a number of MPs and Senators.

Yesterday we were part of a large delegation of Christians gathered at Parliament House to tell MPs and Senators that we fully support marriage between a man and a woman and that we totally oppose any recognition and registration of same-sex relationships including Relationship Registers, Civil Partnerships and same sex “marriage”.

Next week when we are back in the office we will send out a copy of the statement presented by the delegation and a list of the vote so you can write and thank Senators for standing against same-sex marriage.

Legally credentialing 5-Fold Ministers of the Gospel for equipping and edifying the Body of Christ (Ephesians 4:11-13) for extending the Kingdom of God has been a great desire in my heart for many years!
 
Although the process was quite lengthy, including providing much legal documentation, attending board meetings and other meetings, etc., it was certainly worth the challenging effort. In the past several years the Lord has been speaking to me about the desperate need for the restoration of the 5-Fold Ministry in the Body of Christ all over the world, and especially in Australia.  Over the years in Australia and around the world, most of the Church (in nearly every Mainline, Evangelical, Pentecostal, Charismatic Denomination, etc.) has been run primarily by the Ministry Gift / Office of the Pastor and has unfairly put a severe load, yoke, and burden on one particular Ministry Gift / Office, causing major personal breakdowns in marriages and families with many Pastors leaving their God-given call to Christian ministry and spiritual leadership in the Body of Christ. (Matthew 11:28-30)
 
Obeying the leadership of the Holy Spirit and the authority of the Word of God in Ephesians 4:11-13, Catch The Fire Ministries will be ordaining Christian Ministers of the Gospel to function under the anointing of the Holy Spirit in their respective 5-Fold Ministry Offices of Apostle, Prophet, Evangelist, Pastor and Teacher.  This New Testament Church Government model will inevitably reduce the overwhelming and unhealthy local church ministry load of the Office of Pastor, by appropriately distributing the spiritual leadership throughout the 5-Fold Ministry Gifts /Offices, thus restoring God’s biblical divine order and spiritual government to the Body of Christ.The Lord has been clearly speaking to me, our CTFM ministry team, and many others in the wider Body of Christ in Australia and around the world, that now is God’s kairos time for a Radical Revolution of the Father’s Love which will rise up a Holy Spirit Reformation of the Church of Jesus Christ to supernaturally transform men, women, and children all throughout Australia, every nation, tongue, tribe, people and land!  God cannot pour out the New Wine of His Holy Spirit into the old wine skins! (Matthew 9:17) The DNA of a biological father is naturally passed onto to his children, just as the spiritual DNA of Christian leadership in a denomination, movement, or ministry is passed onto the associated Ministers, Pastors, etc.
 
We at CTFM are calling for, ‘A New Move of God’s Holy Spirit to rise up His people to save and transform our beautiful land of Australia!’ Catch The Fire is calling on all of those who are willing to rise up for Jesus in God’s holy love, bold enough to stand for Biblical correctness, not bowing down to political correctness! (Matthew 6:33)
 
We are currently working on the necessary logistics and proper process for someone applying for Ministry Credentials with Catch The Fire Ministries. Soon we will give you all the details. Once you apply the CTFM leadership board will review your application, then conduct an interview with you in person or by telephone and follow up your personal referrals, after which we will make the decision whether or not to grant a Ministry Credential.  If you have been serving the Lord, or know you are called to serve the Lord, even if you have never had a Ministry Credential before, CTFM will consider your application as our heart is to release an army of labourers into the Lord’s harvest field. One main criteria will be practical experience on the field. We are very interested to hear from those of you whom the Spirit of God is clearly calling to be an Ordained Minister of the Gospel with CTFM.  You can rest assured that you will be fully supported and encouraged to stand strong for Biblical values, Godly character, and being led by the Holy Spirit at all times for the advance of the Kingdom of God.
 
The view that CTFM has always held on alcohol and cigarettes is well documented and known within the Body of Christ. Needless to say this view will play a role in our decision to credential any applicant. We see this as an uncompromising stand for righteousness. Throughout history, spiritual revival occurred with the faithful preaching of righteousness, sin, and judgment. Elijah, faced with 450 prophets of Baal, challenged the people in black and white terms: ‘How long will you waver between two opinions? If the LORD is God, follow him: but if Baal is God, follow him’ (1 Kings 18:21).
 
It’s very interesting to note that throughout the history of the church, spiritual revivals, reformations, and new outpourings of God’s Holy Spirit were led by those whom the Lord raised up as  forerunners such as Martin Luther, John Wesley, Charles Finney, William Booth, Smith Wigglesworth, AA Allen, and many other pioneers who were considered to be radical and controversial in their generation. They paid a heavy price and some were even excommunicated from their denomination.

However, this persecution from within the Body of Christ set the stage for a new movement of God’s Holy Spirit to breakout throughout the various denominations, spiritual communities, wide society and across the nations of the world. Are you willing to pay the price to see a new move of God?
 
I’m sure you will agree with me, along with many others in the Body of Christ whom the Lord has been using and is raising up at the present moment, that our nation of Australia and the nations of the world desperately need a new move of God’s Holy Spirit! We at CTFM are totally committed to supporting, encouraging, empowering and releasing Christian men and women of God into their God-given calling and ministry assignment in the Kingdom of God in order to see the Bride of Christ prepared for the Bridegroom King’s soon return! (Ephesians 5:25-27, Matthew 28:18-20, Matthew 24:14, Revelation 11:15)

We at CTFM look forward to working closely with all our brothers and sisters in the Body of Christ, to the Glory of the Father and our Lord Jesus and in the power of the Mighty Holy Spirit. It is not our desire to start another denomination, but be a ministry to the body of Christ.
 
May God bless you mightily in leading you in His perfect will to join hearts and hands with us  in this Holy Revolution of God’s Love for a Kingdom Reformation that will transform Australia and the Nations for Jesus!
 
Awaiting your response with much interest.
 
Your brother in Christ,
 
Rev. Dr. Daniel Nalliah
President of CTFM

All glory to God for this past weekend of supernatural breakthrough as the Spirit of intercessory prayer and travail rocked the CTFM Apostolic Centre in Hallam, Melbourne!  

Pastor Julius, a humble servant of God from Kenya, Africa, ministered the anointed Word of God with a mighty impartation of the Spirit of revival fire, as the CTFM worship team opened the heavens through prophetic worship!  Pastor Julius, an apostolic prophetic minister who travels to many nations to rise up the Body of Christ in intercessory prayer for the nations, greatly inspired God’s army to rise up into their God-given calling and destiny to reclaim Australia for Jesus!

As Holy Spirit hungry people received the Word of the Lord, suddenly it seemed like rivers of living water were flowing out of the innermost being of God’s beloved children as they soaked in His manifest presence, which caused a powerful release of deep intercessory prayer and prophetic travail for the transformation of Australia! Many entered into real spiritual warfare prayer for the first time and prayed in tongues for hours, as many others receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit and prayed in tongues for the very first time!

The revival fire meetings went on for hours as everyone was absolutely drunk in the Spirit of God, with holy manifestations of weeping, laughing, and the gift of intercessory prayer for a unprecedented harvest of souls to be born-again, healed, delivered, and restored into the Kingdom of God. Much time was spent in intercessory repentance and corporate prayer for all churches and denominations to catch the Holy Spirit Fire of Revival! 

Rev Dr Daniel stated, “The time is now for our nation to rise up and storm heaven in prayer as never before. We must cry out to God for a Holy Revolution of Love resulting in a National Reformation of the Body of Christ and nation of Australia. I know my God will give us Australia as an inheritance and we this generation must see the fulfilment of His promises for this Great South Land of the Holy Spirit in our time. We cannot let another generation pass by.”

2) On this Sunday 7th of March at 6:30pm, Dr Paul Ang from Malaysia, whose international prophetic ministry has impacted 40 nations across the world, will be ministering at the CTFM base at 23 Melverton Dr. in Hallam, Melbourne. He has shared the pulpit with renowned men and women of God around the globe, such as like the late Dr DGS Dhinakaran [India], Chuck Pierce, Cindy Jacobs, Alex Abraham Tanuseputra [Indonesia], Thomas Cherian and others.

We will also have our Sunday morning service as usual at 9:30am.

Please note that beginning at 7:30pm this Friday 5th March is the Rise Up Australia prayer meeting followed by an all night prayer meeting from 10pm to 6am.

Please pray for Pastor Daniel and a team from CTFM as they minister at combined church revival services in Bendigo, Victoria this weekend.

According to this video the President of Haiti cancelled Mardi Gras and called for 3 days of Prayer and Fasting. Over a million came, over 3,000 decisions for Christ were made, and over a 100 of those decisions were confirmed voodoo priests.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=30rWm84z-zg 

Let’s continue to pray for an increasing nation shaking Holy Spirit revival in Haiti with unprecedented salvations, deliverances, healings, miracles, signs, and wonders, as the Kingdom of God comes in power, authority, righteousness, and glory!

May King Jesus be known and loved in Haiti and in all the earth!

“As a Christian, I believe there is a time that Christ will come back to receive His people home, and that’s just the basis of what the Bible shows, and that there will be an antichrist that arises during that time, and those that remain, to buy or sell anything, they will have to take on this mark. I don’t know that it’s a microchip.” -Virginia Del. Charles W. Carrico Sr.

(Richmond, Virginia)—Virginia’s House of Delegates passed a bill last week that will protect Virginians from attempts by employers or insurance companies to implant microchips in their bodies against their will.

Said Del. Mark L. Cole, the sponsor of the bill: “My understanding—I’m not a theologian—but there’s a prophecy in the Bible that says you’ll have to receive a mark, or you can neither buy nor sell things in end times. Some people think these computer chips might be that mark. I just think you should have the right to control your own body.”

According to the report, several states, including Wisconsin and Georgia, have approved similar bans.

“This is a great day for religious liberty in the United Kingdom…We give thanks to God for the outcome, and we continue to pray for our Government, as Scripture exhorts us to do, that God would bless their counsels.”

(London, England)—Christian Today has reported on the answer to many Christians’ prayers after the House of Lords on Monday defeated changes to a law that would have required church groups to hire homosexuals or others whose manner of life is inconsistent with their teaching.

Lady O’Cathain, whose amendment to the Equality Bill specified an exemption for religious groups to equality employment laws, said: “I know that very many Christians were praying that justice would prevail as the House of Lords voted on this important issue….We give thanks to God for the outcome, and we continue to pray for our Government, as Scripture exhorts us to do, that God would bless their counsels.” (Photo: House of Lords-BBC)

The Christian Institute’s Mike Judge commented, “The prayers of thousands of Christians and letter writing to peers was key to protecting our freedom. Surely churches should be free to employ people whose conduct is consistent with church teaching…It’s called freedom of association, and it’s a key liberty in any democratic society.”

Andrea Minichiello Williams, director of Christian Concern For Our Nation, also praised Monday’s vote. “This is a great day for religious liberty in the United Kingdom. We are thankful that the law has not been changed and the freedom of churches to control their own affairs has not been restricted any further. The results show what can happen when Christians pray and take action. Let us be encouraged that even in an increasingly secular society, the voice of the Church can still be heard.”

The report cautions that Harriet Harman, whose name is attached to the Equality Bill, may yet decide to force the bill through the House of Commons or revert to an EU directive prohibiting discrimination in the workplace on the grounds of religion or belief, disability, age or sexual orientation.

Isaiah 62:10 … Go thru, go thru the gates, Prepare the way for the people, build up, build up the highway, take out the stones

Blessings and love from a cooler and wetter Israel. 

Proverbs 13:34  -  Righteousness exalts a nation  -  My friend sent me this report about our PM,  Benjamin Netanyahu, and I was quite stirred to learn that out of his mouth he is declaring the prophetic word of the Lord before the nations.

Our PM Benjamin Netanyahu last week traveled to Poland to commemorate the 65th anniversary of liberation of Auschwitz. Speaking on the actual site of the Nazi death camp, the Prime Minister warned the world of new genocidal threats against the Jewish people and the importance of acting early enough to prevent such threats from coming to pass. In a stunning and remarkable moment, Netanyahu also declared to the people of Europe and the world that the prophecies of Ezekiel 37 have been fulfilled. The Holocaust, he said, represented the “dry bones” and “graves” of the Jewish people, and out of that horror the State of Israel was resurrected, just as the Lord said would happen through the Hebrew Prophet Ezekiel. Rarely has any world leader given a major address on an international stage declaring End Times prophecies from the Bible have come true. But that is exactly what Netanyahu did  …………..

Along with  that -  Netanyahu’s, 15-year-old son  has won the Jerusalem Bible Quiz in the Jerusalem Public School District. He will represent the district in the national Bible Quiz, to be held later this year. Avner, the younger of the Netanyahus’ two sons, outscored 50 opponents in the final round, scoring 98 out of 100 points.   Prime Minister Netanyahu said in an interview nearly a year ago that he often read the Bible together with his son.  His daughter from his first marriage, just last year gave birth to her first son, (the Netanyahu’s first grandchild) and I noticed that his daughter was dressed  as an orthodox religious  Jewish woman.

Could the God of Israel be using Bibi’s children to be instrumental in him knowing and understanding the times/seasons and prophecies thru the writings of the Tenach (Old Testament) ?  It seems that something has been deposited inside  of our PM concerning the truths, promises and prophecies for the land of Israel and the Jewish people, and he is being bold enough to declare it.

If you do not already pray for our Prime Minister, can I ask you to begin to pray each day for him.

We’re forwarding the following article from Creation Ministries International for your ongoing prayers for an authentic revival outpouring of the Holy Spirit conviction of sin, righteousness, and judgment, in the body of Christ in Australia and across the nations of the world, resulting in a unprecedented harvest of salvations, deliverances, healings, miracle, signs, and wonders in the Kingdom of God!

Revival? What is missing? by Don Batten

Many Christians today are praying for revival, and that is good. But something else is needed.

Throughout history, revival occurred with the faithful preaching of righteousness, sin, and judgment. Elijah, faced with 450 prophets of Baal, challenged the people in black and white terms: ‘How long will you waver between two opinions? If the LORD is God, follow him: but if Baal is God, follow him’ (1 Kings 18:21).

The prophets to Israel and Judah detailed the people’s sins and called on them to repent.

John the Baptist called sin what it was—sin—and lost his head for it. He called the Pharisees and Sadducees a ‘generation of vipers’ (Matthew 3:7). It was hardly ‘seeker-sensitive’ preaching. Note that John was not an arrogant man; he was not worthy to untie the sandals of Jesus, he said (Luke 3:16), but he preached with authority.

When Paul came before governor Felix, who had the power over Paul’s immediate fate, Paul spoke boldly about ‘righteousness … and judgment to come,’ and Felix ‘trembled’ (Acts 24).

Central to all biblical preaching is sin and judgment. Why? Because the sinner needs to know he is in trouble before he is likely to have any interest in being saved. Jonathan Edwards’ famous sermon was titled, ‘Sinners in the hands of an angry God.’ Wesley, Whitefield, Finney and Moody all emphasized that their listeners had broken God’s Law, were guilty before the Righteous Judge of heaven and earth, and deserving of His wrath. These great revivalists knew that the Good News of God’s forgiveness in Jesus Christ would not make much sense unless people understood the ‘Bad News,’ the full impact of their lost condition in Adam, and would cry out to God for mercy.

1) All glory and honour to the soon coming King of kings and Lord of lords, Christ Jesus!

What a glorious weekend as Pastor Daniel ministered on the Gold Coast at an AOG church with many also attending the revival meetings from other churches! 

10 precious souls (7 teenagers, 1 Jewish woman, who was also miraculously healed of cancer through prayer last October, and 2 Catholic men) were born-again into the Kingdom of God, bodies were supernaturally healed, and many lives transformed by a mighty demonstration of the Holy Spirit and the miracle working power of God! 

Last year in October at the same AOG church another woman with breast cancer was also healed after Pastor Daniel prayed for her.  We reported how she was scheduled for chemotherapy 2 days later, but God miraculously healed her. 2 ultrasounds, 2 mammograms and a 6 needle biopsy showed  that the cancer had disappeared. Because the medical doctors were so shocked, they wanted her to go through all the tests again 3 months later. Well, these repeat tests were performed a few weeks ago. Once again, all glory to God as there is still no trace of cancer! Pastor Daniel said, ‘I personally saw all the x-rays and it’s a amazing miracle. Before I prayed for her last October 2009, you could see all the tests clearly showing many lumps, but now the tests show no lumps at all!”This dear sister is the oldest surviving member in her family as 19 of her family members have died of cancer. She is currently collecting all the reports and data from the hospital in order to publish her miraculous testimony of being totally healed from cancer. She is continuing to have personal encounters with the presence of God. While at the airport, he also had the opportunity of speaking for 40 minutes on the telephone to the young man from Mount Ainslie in Canberra who was radically saved by Jesus out of Satan’s kingdom of darkness and into God’s Kingdom of light! Pastor Daniel stated, “This guy has been radically transformed by the amazing grace of God. He now wants to win his friends to Jesus.”  I asked him, “what made you come to Jesus?” He responded, “for the first time I saw Christians with guts when I met you guys on Mount Ainslie. We who were extremely anti-Christian had only seen a very weak and powerless church in Australia before that day.  However, what happened on Mount Ainslie that day challenged me, in addition to your emails from Catch the Fire which expressed real love brought me to Jesus. I will never go back as Jesus has changed my life.”  This radically transformed young man is in the process of writing his incredible testimony and Pastor Daniel is helping him to find a proper church in Canberra for his ongoing spiritual development, discipleship, etc.

2) This week Friday 26th, Saturday 27th, and Sunday 28th February, Catch the Fire Ministries will be hosting a Nation Shaking Prayer Ministry in Melbourne with Pastor Julius Suubi, a renowned International Minister from Nairobi, Kenya, who heads up ‘Highway Of Holiness Ministries’.

Maybe you are already aware of this very disturbing news for the family of Evangelist Benny Hinn, which I’m sure has shaken the global Body of Christ from all denominations and cultures, especially Christian families throughout the nations of the world.

We are so sad for this mighty man of God and his dear wife. Please continue to pray for them. 

Truly, Satan and his demonic hordes from hell have unleashed an unprecedented attack to destroy Christian marriages and families in these perilous end time battles before the 2nd Coming of the King of kings and LORD of lords!  Revelation 12:11

All Christian marriages and families need to unceasingly pray and spend more quality time together with one another and the Lord!
I also want to encourage the Body of Christ in Australia and around the world not to let this discourage you or bring you down because man can fail you, but Christ Jesus will never let you down. We must put our faith and trust in the Lord Jesus Christ Himself and not on the man or woman of God that He is using by His Holy Spirit. I am sure you will be challenged to stand even stronger for Jesus!

Following is the article from Charisma News Online.

Many Blessings,

Pastor Daniel Nalliah

Wife of Evangelist Benny Hinn Files for Divorce

Friday, 19 February 2010 - Adrienne S. Gaines News - Featured News from Charisma Online News
   
Suzanne Harthern Hinn, the wife of healing evangelist Benny Hinn, has filed for divorce from the high-profile minister, citing irreconcilable differences.

Don Price, longtime senior adviser to Benny Hinn Ministries, said the divorce filing took Benny Hinn by surprise.

“Pastor Benny Hinn and his immediate family were shocked and saddened to learn of this news without any previous notice,” Price said. “The couple has been married for more than 30 years. Although Pastor Hinn has faithfully endeavored to bring healing to their relationship, those efforts failed and were met with the petition for divorce that was filed without notice.”

Suzanne Hinn filed the papers in Orange County Superior Court on Feb. 1.

Hinn is well known for leading large-scale healing crusades around the world, where his popular This Is Your Day program is broadcast on Trinity Broadcasting Network and other television outlets.

He was featured on the cover of Charisma in 1979 and 1993 and has written numerous books, including his life story, Good Morning, Holy Spirit. Several of his books have been published by Strang Communications, which also publishes Charisma.

The corporate headquarters for Benny Hinn Ministries and World Healing Center Church is in Grapevine, Texas, but the Hinn family has been living in Southern California to be near the ministry-owned television studio and church in Aliso Viejo, according to the ministry Web site.

Recently, Hinn was one of six charismatic ministers targeted in an ongoing investigation by Iowa Sen. Charles Grassley, ranking Republican on the Senate Finance Committee, to determine whether they were complying with IRS rules for nonprofits.

Hinn has said external auditors ensure his compliance with IRS regulations but he has cooperated with Grassley’s office.

Married in 1979, the Hinns have three daughters and a son.

The red hot selling DVD of National Australia Day United Prayer 2010 ($15 plus $5 postage) is available from the CTFM office in Melbourne by emailing angelene@catchthefire.com.au or calling (03) 9794 8211.

Now you can bring the awesome corporate anointing of National Australia Day United Prayer 2010 into your home, church, school, workplace, etc.  by purchasing this outstanding DVD which includes the entire service from beginning to end, where between 750-800 Christians from many churches, denominations, generations, and ethnicities (many travelling from interstate and some from overseas) packed the Springvale City Hall in Melbourne, Australia to pray for this Great South Land of the Holy Spirit!

Pastor Daniel also received his Honorary Doctorate of Divinity Degree from St Thomas Christian College in Jacksonville, Florida, USA.  Dr Jackson officially conferred this degree on him and then pronounced, “from today you shall now be called Dr Daniel Nalliah.” At this point the whole crowd erupted in a standing ovation of highly emotional shouts of joy and praise to God!

We thank our faithful Father in heaven for the amazing unity in the Body of Christ at the National Australia Day United Prayer Gathering in Melbourne, buzzing with more than 3 hours of Holy Spirit empowered prayer, praise and worship to the reigning King of kings and Lord of lords, our Lord Jesus Christ!

The service finished with the singing of our national anthem as many were in tears, thanking the Lord for our great nation of Australia! Many brought their Australian flags with them and waved them throughout the entire service declaring ‘Australia for Jesus’!
