You know, a lot of people in psychiatric institutions talk a lot about Christ, end times, spies…..

“Dear family & friends in Christ,

I’ve been praying that the church in Australia will be proactive and move into revival through a season of increasing prosperity and favor with God.  However, unfortunately I believe that most part of the church has sadly chosen to be reactive and will now experience revival only through persecution. Why should we the church wait until something goes wrong to wake up and put it right, after having paid a heavy price? Well, the sad truth is that most of the church is not hearing the voice of God, nor willing to obey even if they do hear His voice!

There is a big difference between believing (passive) and obedience (faith in action). Just simply believing will not bring revival. We must ACT on what we believe in faith to see revival. I think we in Australia chose to go with persecution when we made the choice to elect a government in 2007 with more than 80% anti-Christian politicians and dumped a government with more than 70% Christians, including some great morally sound Christians at the top of its leadership.

Before the 2007 election the Lord gave me a clear prophetic word, “If my people UNITE, PRAY & ACT,  John Howard would be re-elected and Peter Costello will take on the leadership.” When John Howard (former Prime Minister) was not re-elected, I was criticized by many Christian leaders who praised Kevin Rudd (current Prime Minister) as the man of God for the hour. In particular one very well known prayer ministry leader even mocked me through his national email database, praising Kevin Rudd as one of the godliest Christian Prime Ministers in Australia’s history.

Strangely enough this same Christian leader now sends emails calling on Christians to lobby against the unrighteous laws that have been introduced and supported  by the Rudd government. In some emails he states, we cannot let these laws get through as it is against God’s will. We desperately need to stop the Rudd government from doing so.

Another prominent Christian leader who promoted Rudd as a very good alternative to Howard is now pleading with people to write to the government to STOP homosexual laws, abortion laws, Bill of rights and the list goes on and on. Sorry sirs, the horse has already bolted out into the field. Now we must repent, pray, and ask God to prepare us to be strong in the Lord as we face increasing persecution. It would have been better to put the fence around the top of the mountain rather than an ambulance at the bottom.

Some Christian leaders told me, “Danny, we prayed for the election but Howard did not get re-elected.” I then asked them, “if you genuinely lay down your political loyalties, which government had better Christian values??” Most of them answered, “definitely the Howard government.”  So I asked them, “did you ACT on what you believed by telling your congregation how to vote?” The answer was very sad as they replied, “we cannot upset the congregation.” This is a major problem in the church today. Most church leaders want to keep everyone happy. Political correctness has taken over much of the church. Although many Christian leaders prayed for the election, most did not ACT on what they knew was right deep inside of their heart.

Unfortunately we will be most likely stuck with the current government for some time as Satan (the god of this world) has free reign to bring in more ANTI-CHRISTIAN laws. This will result in the church being terribly affected and severe restrictions placed on the church.  Even if the opposition in government comes into power, I do not see much hope with its current leadership.

Soon many churches will have spies sitting in the congregation (Like what the ICV & EOC did to CTFM in 2002)waiting to complain against Pastors who preach against sin, wickedness, and evil such as homosexuality, abortion etc.  Then churches will have to decide whether they will preach the gospel according to the government or stand for the truth and go to jail, very similar to what happened in Russia, China, and many other nations facing persecution by the government. Oh Lord, please have mercy on us!

Many have asked me, “aren’t Rudd and Obama God’s choice?” The answer I believe is a BIG NO! Would God choose leaders who approve the killing of babies in the womb, legalise homosexuality, and destroy our Judeo-Christian heritage? No! No! NO! God would not choose such leaders. How did they get into office then? It was man’s choice, not God’s! What you ask is what you get.  What you sow is what you reap, just like the biblical history of the nation of Israel.

In Mathew Chapter 24 we read the signs of the end times and of the return of the Lord Jesus Christ! One sentence in this chapter sums it all up, “these are the beginnings of birth pains.” In Hebrew this means ‘contractions’.  I believe the world is in deep contractions never ever as before. The volume of disasters has rapidly increased. Some describe not as 2 fold, nor 3 fold, but a 100 fold!

Just take the explosion of the number of earthquakes around the world. According to a recent report on TV, from the first coming of Jesus to the year 1600, it was recorded that there was 1-2 earthquakes once in every 300 years. Then in the year 1600 there was 1. In 1800 it rose to 28, then to 128 in the year 1900, and then so many by the year 2000 that they have lost count. The Boxing Day Tsunami earthquake was the biggest ever recorded. The list of diseases, famines, natural disasters, wars and others have increased like never ever recorded in history.

Certainly the world is having contractions in very close succession just as a mother before she is about to deliver her baby. I believe Jesus is coming very, very soon. The BIG question is, “are you ready to meet Him face to face?” The Bible states that your very own will betray you and you will be persecuted because of your stand for Jesus and His return. By the way, this is before the rapture.

I believe God during this time of persecution will separate the true church (bride of Christ) from the false church. I want to challenge you to pray in the Holy Spirit, read the Word of God, and prepare to face the challenging season ahead of us. Do not wait till it happens, because it might be too late and you might deny Jesus. The Bible says, during this time even His very elect will grow cold and fall away from the faith.

God’s future plans will ultimately come to pass, but unfortunately I believe it will be through a season of severe persecution. ARE YOU READY???

Some might simply laugh this off. Some may mock, possibly because they are very worried about their own reputation, building their own empires, and seeking glory amongst man.  God have mercy on them. As for me, I do not look for reputation from man but rather for the crown that awaits me in heaven!

Many blessings,
Your brother in Christ,
