On the Internet Website, "Global Revival News", which reports on events on the false "revival" circuit around the world, Westside, Melbourne, Australia AOG had the doubtful honor of being featured, date 13th Dec.1997.

Note the weird "smell of smoke" in the report.
How sad to see people deceived by these lying signs and wonders! Despatch Editor
 

As K... stood to speak another hallmark of the Holy Spirit was evident: variety. We worshipped; we laughed; we cried; we sought God. Then K... felt led to call the Senior Pastors forward and he challenged the forty or so men and women to say ‘Yes’ to the Holy Spirit as he sought to lead them forward another thousand cubits. (cf.. Ezek 47) He spoke powerfully about the effects of limited anointing and our need to expand in God, then formed a makeshift fire tunnel with L... for these men and women to walk through. Few made it through on their feet. Many didn’t make it through at all and had to be dragged to one side to allow others to receive prayer and impartation . I anticipate that many will mark this day as the beginning of an increase in the effectiveness of their ministry.

Also carrying a holy boldness, K... continued to preach, surrounded by those slain in the Spirit who covered the floor around him, and pressed the need for holiness and repentance of sin. As he drew to a close people started spontaneously running to the front to get right with God and suddenly the vast bulk of the 5-600 strong congregation were at the front pressing through to God for forgiveness and cleansing. A separate call for those who needed salvation or restoration from backsliding saw at least eight respond. An awesome service, very clearly marked by the spirit of revival.

“For all that are aware of the appalling new ‘God’ the TV Channel (The Christian Channel Europe) you might like to know a few things. They are shortly going to broadcast in a 7 hour ‘loop’ around the clock. They are also planning other channels - a Worship Channel and a channel for Roman Catholics etc.

They have recently been rebuked by the ITC - twice (recently for showing an exorcism by Benny Hinn). Mark Haville has been working with the ‘Here and Now’ TV crew over the last four weeks to expose some of the dubious healings/miracles etc...Mark has also written a very good letter to the ITC calling for the withdrawal of the channel’s licence (they have transgressed an array of other sections of the ITC code).” Peter Glover (C.R.N.)

This is both a shocking trivialisation of the death of the Lord Jesus Christ and is offensive to many people... the teaching in the broadcasts are neither Christian nor encouraging and certainly at given times, some people following their teachings could put their lives in danger....”

The FBI estimated that it will process 14 million requests for fingerprints. In January 1998, Michigan parents were outraged when administrators of the state's standardised education tests apparently broke the law by requiring 122,000 public school fifth-graders to submit their fingerprints without parental permission. The fingerprints were collected as part of a science segment in this year's Michigan Educational assessment Program test. The 1985 Child Identification and Protection Act requires written permission for children to be fingerprinted unless the child is a delinquent or otherwise ordered to be fingerprinted by a judge.

Many states in the USA are using fingerprinting for drivers licenses. Banks in 27 states, have instituted policies which require fingerprinting for some people who cash cheques. Nearly every large bank in California now requires a fingerprint to cash a non-account holder's cheque and at least one bank also requires all customers opening new accounts to provide fingerprints. Fingerprinting on driver's licenses has become increasingly controversial. In Georgia, a campaign to repeal the fingerprinting requirements for licenses is under way."

BOOK REVIEW -

The novel by Kim Young called “The Last Hour” is a dramatic fantasy about what the prophesied Rapture and Tribulation period may be like. The world is in chaos as massive disappearances span the globe, there is political upheaval, terrible disease, economic disasters, a sinister first lady of the USA, the emergence of the Antichrist, the power-hungry Pope, and even a romance. Kim pictures anti-Semitism and anti-Christian activity in the Last Hour, with heinous persecution.

The book is of particular interest to those who enjoy a novel, but would like one which does more than give pleasant relaxation. There is much which instructs in the book, without being “preachy”, some bits we found a bit confusing, some areas which could be clearer doctrinally, but Despatch readers may find this book a good read. It could wake up those Christians you know who are not aware of the nearness of the Tribulation. Handy also for young Christians who are not really interested in solid Bible study or heavy reading. Published by ACW Press, Phoenix Arizona.
