CROSS REMOVED CALVARY HOSPITAL MAKE SUBMISSION BEFORE CLOSING DATE TOMORROW 17.7.23

The cross at Calvary hospital Canberra being removed by ACT government after forced takeover because they don’t do abortions. Also the Catholic hospice Canberra taken over by the ACT government because they don’t do euthanasia. We need to protect our religious freedom in Australia and faith-based institutions. 
Warwick Marsh and the Canberra Declaration team are urging us to sign a submission re a Senate enquiry which has to be in by close of business Monday 17 July – tomorrow. Not only is it an attack on the sacredness of life but It is an abuse of property rights and an abuse of proper parliamentary procedure and consultation.

See this video for the strategy for the Calvary hospital submission HERE
This link will take you to a page on the Canberra Declaration that will make it easy for you to make a submission. click HERE

Using Canberra Declaration’s sending facility, submissions will be sent to:

  • The Senate Inquiry Committee who are receiving submissions until close of business, Monday 17 July.
  • A copy will be sent to the PM, the federal senators in your state, and your local federal MP.

The Messianic Training Centre is a ministry of Celebrate Messiah. We offer courses from a Messianic Jewish perspective in biblical studies and languages, Jewish history and culture, and effective Jewish outreach.

Hi Saints – Don’t Miss Out on this Amazing Conference – Church and Cultural Challenges!!

Rise up mighty men and women of valour just like Gideon when the Lord allowed the Midianites to oppress Israel because they did evil in the Lord’s eyes. When they cried out to the Lord, he chose Gideon to save them.  

Judges 6:12 “And the Angel of the Lord appeared to him, and said to him, “The Lord is with you, you mighty man of valor! ..v14 Then the Lord turned to him and said, “Go in this might of yours, and you shall save Israel from the hand of the Midianites. Have I not sent you?”

The NIV says “mighty warrior” and the NLT says “mighty hero.”

Gideon basically said, Who me, I can’t do it? And the angel basically said, Yes you because I will be with you.

v15-16 So he said to Him, “O my Lord, how can I save Israel? Indeed my clan is the weakest in Manasseh, and I am the least in my father’s house.”

And the Lord said to him, “Surely I will be with you, and you shall defeat the Midianites as one man.”

We have done evil in the sight of the Lord in Australia but the Lord is raising up men like Gideon who are brave enough to make a stand, tear down idols and fight.

Also, the Lord is raising women like Esther who have come into position for such a time as to stand before the authorities to plead a just case. The Lord is calling us to free our people from the ensnarement of the anti-Christian culture we live in. We can’t do it but we can be the Lord’s hands and feet, eyes and voice as He calls and enables.

If you would like to see more on the vision of this conference and generally about the Culture War Against the Church  READ 

Why do you need to come to Canberra?

There is intolerance of Christian views and freedom of speech and association in the public square. They would not dare to do this to other religions. Discrimination against Christians in the workplace, schools, sports etc.

The ACT government’s forced takeover of the Calvary hospital in Canberra because of its pro-life stand. This threatens faith-run hospitals and schools across the nation setting a precedent

“The right of parents to educate their children in accordance with their religious beliefs in Australia has been dealt a serious blow with the release of the Australian Law Reform Commission’s consultation paper,” says the Human Rights Law Alliance. (https://www.hrla.org.au/alrc_pushes_to_axe_religious_freedom_protections)

Hundreds of babies who survive abortion are left to die without medical attention which is a disgrace. Some MPS have put forward the Human Rights (Children Born Alive Protection) Bill 2022. The Canberra Declaration recently gave verbal evidence and presented over 90,000 signatories in support of the Bill to the Senate Standing Committee on Community Affairs Inquiry.

MP Moira Deeming has been vilified and expelled from the Victorian Liberal Party room for standing up for women’s spaces in toilets and sports etc.

The voice referendum is looking to enshrine in the Australian constitution group rights in a new chapter that is based on race/Indigeneity/ heredity which would create two classes of citizens. We currently have chapters for the 3 tiers of government – the legislature, the executive, and the judiciary so this will change how our nation is governed. However, we need to Close the Gap of Indigenous disadvantage and recognize Indigenous people in the constitution which can be done without the voice which would be entrenched in the constitution with details to be worked out after the public vote.

Federal government policies that promote the religion of climate change are destroying our fossil fuel industry and driving up the cost of living causing poverty, people to lose their homes and businesses, divorce, and mental health issues

The youth in our nation have so many challenges as the Judeo-Christian values in our nation have been challenged and mocked. The media and entertainment industry is complicit in much of this.

And much more!

The Christian mayor of the Gold Coast, Australia invites us to the Jerusalem Prayer Breakfast this July. Norman and Barbara participated at the first Jerusalem Prayer Breakfast at Old Parliament House in Canberra some years ago now. You will be blessed by attending. The Jerusalem Prayer Breakfast works in with the Knesset, Israel’s parliament, and meets with the leaders of the nations and Christians and Jews all around the world. We were blessed to have one of their key people, Albert Veksler, speak at one of our Tabernacle of David Asia Pacific Prayer meetings we hosted.

The Voice and Constitutional Recognition of First Nations People: For and Against Arguments

by Barbara Miller 23.3.23

A historic vote has just taken place (Wednesday night 22.3.23) to pass the Referendum (Machinery Provisions) Amendment Bill in both houses of federal parliament. Opposition leader, Peter Dutton, gave Coalition support after securing some amendments in relation to the referendum on the Voice that will be held between October and December this year. 

Whereas governments in the past had funded both the yes and no campaigns for referendums, the Albanese government had been planning to only fund an information campaign that would in essence be pro-voice and were seeking to censor misinformation, which people took to mean, no campaign arguments. They were also only granting tax-deductible gift recipient (DGR) status to the yes campaign. This was discriminatory. That mostly changed this week.

While Dutton was not able to secure funding for a no campaign, representations from the coalition have meant that the government will only be able to fund a neutral civics and education program so that any public funding on activities considered partisan can be legally challenged. Also, the no campaign can now benefit from DGR status.

There have been divisions with the referendum working group the government set up to advise it. These were over whether to include advice to executive government (public service and ministers) as well as parliament. When the Attorney General and Solicitor General raised concerns that including advice to executive government with the referendum working group, they were rejected. While the Solicitor Generals advice has not, and should be, made public, it appears the recommendation was to include “ministers of the crown” and not the public service.

Right up to the last minute, it looked like the Albanese government would end up in a big fight with the referendum working group over the final wording of what would be put to the public in the referendum. However, it was the Prime Minister (PM) himself who had added “executive government” into the wording for the Voice referendum he gave at the Garma Festival. So, despite the possible legal minefield and possible bogging down of government, the PM has agreed to their advice. As the PM has said in the past, it would be a brave government that did not take the advice of the Voice even if it is not a veto.

After cabinet approval, the PM (Albo as he is called) met with some of the 21 members of the Voice for a press conference on 23.3.23 to confirm the wording that would be put to the Australian public on referendum day. The consensus was nearly not there in time but the deadline was Thursday as there would be a final vote in parliament next week on the wording when a constitutional alteration bill will be put to parliament.

Albo was a bit teary as he is staking his political career on the referendum’s success as it will be a big part of his legacy. Albo’s draft amendment was, the Voice “may make representations to parliament and the executive government on matters relating to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples.”

The final wording the referendum working group put to cabinet who agreed to it is, “A proposed law: To alter the constitution to recognize the First Peoples of Australia by establishing an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Voice. Do you approve this proposed alteration?”

First Indigenous Voice to Parliament in SA 26.3.23

South Australia has become the first jurisdiction in the country to set up an Indigenous Voice to Parliament. A special Sunday sitting of SA Parliament passed the bill creating the Voice, which has been assented to by the governor in a ceremonial meeting of the state’s executive council. 

Addressing the Lower House, Premier Peter Malinauskas described the legislation as “momentous” for the state’s Indigenous people.
“It has been a long time coming but First Nations voices will now be heard in the state of South Australia,” he said.

Representatives for the South Australian Voice will be elected in coming months, with the mechanism expected to be running by the end of the year.

SPEAKING ABOUT VOICE, WHO WON AUSTRALIAN IDOL?

by Barbara Miller

I’ve not been watching Australian Idol but I had to watch tonight (26.3.23) because Royston Sagigi-Baira from Mapoon Aboriginal community north of Weipa in north Queensland is one of the finalists. I remember listening to him singing at a concert in Mapoon in 2018. The people loved to hear him sing and the community are watching eagerly tonight on zoom or similar. 

The reason Norman and I were there and the reason for the concert was the Paanja Festival which commemorated the resurrection of Mapoon from the ashes after it had been burnt down by the Qld government and the people removed by police in 1963. I helped them move back in 1974 and wrote a book about it in 2018 called  White Woman Black Heart: Journey Home to Old Mapoon, A Memoir. I took the book to Mapoon to give to the leaders of the move back and their families and to the Aboriginal council. 

Mapoon is a wonderful community that does not have the problems with crime, alcohol or domestic violence that plague some communities and the young people love to go fishing and crabbing and go bush. I think part of the reason was the struggle to rebuild from nothing and the strength of the people. They have recently built a new church there because even that had been burnt down by the government and for many years they worshipped at the rebuilt school. I am so glad I helped make it possible for them to move back.

Well, to much tears and joy, Royston won, and his community, and much of Australia, celebrate with him. He grew up singing in the church and at school in the small beachside and bush community of 300. 

His childhood pastor and lifelong friend James Hughes says he is not surprised Royston has made it this far in the competition because he always saw his star potential.

“I first met Royston when he was just six years old and I moved to Mapoon as the pastor,” James says.

“Even then Royston’s voice was just beautiful …”

Culture War Against the Church conference
Canberra 29-31 July 2023

If you would like to partner with us in the Culture War Against the Church conference the Lord has put on our hearts to host or if you would like to regularly intercede for it, please let us know. We are meeting with a group of intercessors from 3 April at 7pm AEST fortnightly to pray for the conference. The Lord has put on our heart to produce a 21-day prayer guide also for you to use in your own time.

Jesus or Yeshua was right when He prophecied and declared that the gates of hell would not prevail against the church because Caesarea Philippi where He said it is in ruins and its temples are in disuse. The gospel of Jesus has expanded worldwide.

However, this is no time for complacency. I saw a vision of a crab in a pot of water and the temperature slowly increased until it was boiled and dead. I don’t know if this happens in real life but it is a warning to us because things can change imperceptibly for the worse and one day we turn around and wonder how it happened.

Messiah in Isaiah: Songs of the Suffering Servant
by Ps Barbara Miller
The traditional Jewish understanding of this scripture is discussed as well as the Christian understanding. 

Mat 8:16-17 “When evening came, many who were demon-possessed were brought to him (Jesus or Yeshua), and he drove out the spirits with a word and healed all the sick. This was to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet Isaiah: ‘He took up our infirmities and bore our diseases’.” Isaiah 53:4

TREATY MEETINGS HELD AROUND QLD

Norman and Barbara attended a meeting in Cairns on 20.3.23 which was the first of the Qld government’s consultations re a treaty with its Indigenous people. Barbara will write a report on it soon.

The Queensland Legislative Assembly will meet at the Cairns Convention Centre for the sixth regional sitting of the Queensland Parliament from Tuesday 9 to Thursday 11 May 2023 where it is expected to make a big announcement re its treaty and truth-telling process. It is not doing the Voice first but treaty and truth-telling first.

Attending Regional Parliament is free and everyone is welcome.

Well Happy New Year and maybe you have made some new year resolutions or have had, as Norman would say, some new year revelation. Maybe you’ve decided to journal. If so, these journals are designed to help you. This is what one reader, Gina Wileman, said re the Sermon Notes Journal:

Usually, I collect biblical “Pearls of Wisdom” on little pieces of paper, which eventually get misplaced. Or sometimes I text messages to myself during church services, whenever the pastor’s messages resonate with personal experiences—and they’re often forgotten. But using this journal makes it much easier to keep my thoughts tucked into one place. I love how simple and easy it is to use. Plus the cover makes me smile. Love it!

Here is the link to this book – https://www.amazon.com/dp/0648472272. For those in Australia, you can order off my book website if you can’t order off amazon.

Re the Bible Study Journal, one reader, CreativeIIBY wrote
Discover God’s promises by meditating on his word and pondering on questions that will guide you to become more aware of applying it into your life. This book is a great gift as well to friends or anyone you want to have deeper walk with God. I love the cover, it’s a beautiful journal and I highly recommend checking the other books as well created by the author through the link on the first few pages, this journal became a tool for me to get to know more amazing works of the author.

Here is the link to this book – https://www.amazon.com/dp/0648472299. For those in Australia, you can order off my book website if you can’t order off amazon www.barbara-miller-books.com

There is also a prayer journal. One reader, Susan Jagannath, says:
Do you keep thinking that you will start your prayer journey today?
Or tomorrow? I found that keeping a prayer journal is the best way to remember to pray, as well as to look back and find that your prayers have been answered in miraculous ways.

Prophetic Word for Malaysia for 2022

by Ps  Barbara Miller

My introduction was not recorded. In praying about a New Year message, I saw a chasm between 2 large rock-like cliffs. I sensed this was a chasm between 2021 and 2022 and that there was going to be a big change. What supported you in 2021 won’t support you in 2022. Some trends of 2021 won’t continue into 2022. We don’t want to take old patterns that aren’t working into the new year. I asked the Lord if this was from Him and I asked for a scripture and I received Isaiah 43:18-19. This was the first vision.

I was praying particularly for a word for the Malaysian church and specific pastors. I saw a rock with a crevice of jewels in it. I got the words “hidden treasure” and “double doors” and the scripture of Isaiah 45:1-3 came to me. I had a prophetic word for them based on this scripture. The last part of it was about them raising up the Tabernacle of David.

There were a number of confirmations. They showed me a treasure chest of jewels they had prepared for an altar they had built for the Tabernacle of David they had decided to establish. God is good. We enjoyed a time of worship and fellowship with our Malaysian family.

BDS Boycott of Sydney Festival

As the founders of Indigenous Friends of Israel in 2015, Munganbana Norman and Barbara Miller were concerned about the BDS boycott of the Sydney Festival by Palestinian activists backed by Hamas, a terrorist organization. The reason cited is a $20,000 grant from the Israeli Embassy in Australia though it is not unusual for foreign governments to support art. Also, the Sydney Dance Company were due to perform the dance Decadancecreated by Israeli choreographer Ohad Naharin and Tel Aviv’s Batsheva Dance Company.

While over 20 performers and/or organizations pulled out, including Arab and Muslim performers, the Sydney Festival organizers did not bow to the pressure and continued. The Decadence performers received a standing ovation to a sold-out audience on the opening night on 6 Jan. The Palestinian Justice Movement Sydney claimed that Israel is a racist apartheid state. 

Initially Munganbana Norman, as an Indigenous artist, wrote personally to the Indigenous artists a warm, non-challenging letter outlining the numerous ways the Jewish community in Australia have supported the Indigenous community. Unfortunately, Aboriginal senator Pat Dodson, a former Catholic priest, was patron and cultural advisor to one of these groups so we wrote him a letter too, receiving no reply though he is a friend. A minder of one performer rang Norman and told him that the artist was greatly distressed as she had been badgered by a number of phone calls from Lebanon so he would not be passing on the letter.

We were approached by an organisation in the USA who are allied with many in the entertainment and arts industry who assist performers who are boycotted for performing in Israel and had a zoom meeting with them as they wanted to put out an op ed in an Australian newspaper about the issue. They had seen an earlier press release we had done which was published in The Times of Israel.

As they were to mention our stand in the op ed, we delayed putting out a press release till 10 Jan. It is on our website and has widespread coverage but mainly in Jewish and Christian news circles not mainstream. Interestingly, the Glasgow Friends of Israel saw it on a website and reposted it. The Indigenous Coalition for Israel in NZ have also come out against the boycott.
 More than 120 leaders from the entertainment industry have signed an open letter released by the non-profit entertainment industry organisation Creative Community For Peace in support of the Sydney Festival and participating artists. https://www.creativecommunityforpeace.com/blog/2022/01/06/entertainment-industry-leaders-stand-united-against-cultural-boycott-of-israel-and-in-support-of-sydney-festival/
The press release is on our Indigenous Friends of Israel website. Read more https://indigenousfriendsofisrael.org/

Please check and like our Indigenous Friends of Israel Facebook page as we update it almost daily. https://www.facebook.com/likeIFI/

The ABC reported on 13 Jan that Sydney Festival chair David Kirk has apologised for the event’s handling of a funding controversy saying re the artists “They feel compromised, many of them, and many of them are being pressurised to withdraw their performances from the festival,”

The ABC reported in the same article that Israel’s Deputy Ambassador to Australia, Ron Gerstenfeld, said “agents of chaos” had been bullying artists into supporting the boycott.

“We heard a lot about people being targeted, being threatened, through social media of course but also through other means,” he said.

He said Boycott Divestment and Sanctions (BDS), the organisation behind the boycott, had run an aggressive campaign.

“They want to do everything in their power to destroy, to disrupt, they don’t want the embassy to continue.” https://www.abc.net.au/news/2022-01-13/sydney-festival-chair-responds-to-festival-boycott/100753598

New Years Eve Prophetic Message to Malaysian Christians


by Apostle Norman Miller.
A key scripture for 2022 is Isaiah 22:22

Fire at Old Parliament House – Press Release

By Munganbana Norman Miller 4.1.2022

Munganbana Norman Miller is concerned that a giant boomerang with “No Discrimination in the Constitution” on it that he donated to the Museum of Australian Democracy at Old Parliament House Canberra may have been damaged when the door was set on fire last Thursday. He has not been to see where it was located because he lives in Cairns. The museum is closed for repairs. He made and painted the boomerang himself.

Munganbana said, “It is disappointing that numerous heritage that was contained in the Museum has been treated with such disdain by protestors who did not have the approval of the Aboriginal Tent Embassy or the local Ngunnawal elders for the protest or the smoking ceremony which was a guise for them to undertake a criminal action of setting it on fire.”

“As we come to the 50th anniversary of the Aboriginal Tent Embassy, we respect peaceful protest and acknowledge the important contribution it has made,” said Miller. Now is the time for the Uluru Statement of Voice Treaty Truth to be established.”

“I am an Aboriginal artist and the giant boomerang I donated to the museum had on it ‘No Discrimination in the Constitution.’ It was part of a grass roots campaign I waged at my own expense by travelling around Australia collecting signatures for the removal of discrimination from the constitution and the acknowledgement of First Nations people in it,” said Munganbana.

“It was called the Miller Boomerang Petition and, on 27 November 2013, I handed the boomerang with over 360 signatures on the back, as well as a normal petition, to then Speaker Bronwyn Bishop and MPs Ken Wyatt and Warren Entsch. On 8 February 2016, I handed Warren Entsch MP and the then speaker and clerk of the house the final signatures. This is recorded in Hansard,” he said.

 “I decided to donate the boomerang to the museum so it would be in a prominent place where it will be available to future generations who have an interest in our robust democracy. I hope it will stimulate discussions re changing the constitution and promoting Voice Treaty Truth. These need to come from a grassroots level up not top-down.

I have another giant boomerang with ‘Voice Treaty Truth’ on it that I made and painted. I took part in the co-design for the voice consultations in Cairns and I am also concerned we make progress re Closing the Gap to reduce the gap in socio-economic outcomes for First Nations people compared to the rest of the community,” said Munganbana.

Response to Anti-Vaxxers


I gave this message nearly a year ago – 21 Feb 2021 but it is still an issue that people are grappling with today so, as I don’t think I’ve put the link in our newsletter before, here it is.
