Dear Family and Friends in Christ,
God is indeed glorified night after night as the Fire of the Holy Ghost continues to fall in Melbourne’s Eastern suburbs. People from interstate and country Victoria are coming in the kinds of numbers that mean local motels are being filled with guests visiting the Hallam Revival meetings. This report has meant our Catch The Fire office has needed to direct people to the local caravan park instead. This is exciting news!
So many people are desperate to receive the goodness and power of our amazing God that they travel from as far away as Darwin, Northern Territory to receive all God has for them, and to take the Fire back to their own area. We are so blessed to see so many people including pastors from Sydney (NSW), Adelaide (SA), Darwin (NT), Parks (NSW), Bendigo (VIC), Geelong (VIC), Bellaraine Peninsula (VIC) and many other places who’ve come to drink from God’s refreshing River of life, flowing directly from His Throne room!
Pastors continue to flow in night after night with their families, many of them being mightily impacted by the Holy Spirit as Pastor Danny prays and releases specific words from the mind and heart of God regarding their church or ministries.
It is reality church to see almost every night many encouraged and built up, as God releases words through the gift of prophecy and/or word of knowledge, with many responding as Pastor Danny calls them out of the crowd. This of course expresses the Father’s Love to His children and to hear your name called out, and to know it is from God, builds such faith in His precious sons and daughters.
People soak in a worship filled atmosphere for hours, causing their hearts to be fully prepared to receive their miracle, as our Bridegroom God meets with His beloved Bride. This can manifest beautifully by dancing, weeping, laughing, laying in quiet reflection or rejoicing in abandonment, as this new found freedom and Kingdom reality takes them to blessing the Lord with thanksgiving.
Many born again Christians have testified, “We have been in church for years, but this is the first time we have found complete freedom to worship the Lord.” These ones dear to God’s heart are at the altar every night until they ‘glow’ with His radiant joy and mighty presence!
Many continue to get healed, delivered and set free by the power of God. What’s most exciting is people are beginning to share their faith with others in workplaces, not troubled by external expressions; they are boldly speaking the gospel message and are praying for their friends. The Kingdom is advancing! The King is being honored and the work of the Kingdom is being established.
A teacher from a public school testified, “Following impartation prayer, I became much bolder and felt empowered under the anointing of the Holy Spirit, so that in the next 2 weeks I led 20-25 teenagers (from my school) to the Lord. If we are ready, God will use us... many more are seeing God’s power and knowing His presence and being drawn to the cross of Jesus.”
Another man testified, “By attending the meetings often I have received so much of God’s Fire inside me, that I laid hands on a Hindu man, who was paralyzed down one side due to a stroke. He experienced God’s goodness and was healed instantly! This man’s wife was a Muslim. God showed her who He is, compassionate and slow to anger, loving and kind and willing to meet their needs. This brought both to their knees in surrender to Jesus, as they began their journey to make Jesus Lord and Savior of their lives.”
The Lord of the Harvest has desired to grow His Bride and spiritual impartation has been strong the last few nights, to enable the works of God through supernatural healings, signs, and wonders to be released through the Body of Christ. We are now hearing these testimonies and giving all glory to the Lord!
Through obedience to the Lord, Pastor Danny lays hands on those who come to the altar and anoints them with oil and prays for them individually. This happens most nights, resulting in many taking in mighty impartation from our gracious God.
Having “walked through death” experiences twice (should have been killed) and known persecution for Christ in both Australia and overseas, Pastor Danny understands what it is like to walk through fiery turbulence and still see many miracles, signs and wonders follow his ministry. His one desire has been, “Lord let the people ‘catch the Fire, take the Fire and set a Fire’ for Jesus!
We all desire to see this nation of Australia catch the Fire, revive, and encounter Jesus as the Body of Christ is market place effective, and the end-time harvest is reaped for the Kingdom of Heaven!
Bring your family, friends, neighbors, pastors, leaders, and members of your church to the Healing Revival continuing week nights on Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday at 7.30pm with Saturday at 6.30pm. Check our website tomorrow (11.07.08)
