RECONCILIATION NEWZ BUZZ Oct 2023 no 3, Oct 15

Norman & Barbara Miller handing his big boomerang on “No Racism in the constitution” to former speaker of federal parliament Bronwyn Bishop accompanied by former Minister for Indigenous Australian Ken Wyatt and Leichhardt MP Warren Entsch at Parliament House Canberra 27.11.2013 – 10 years ago. Norman was campaigning for Indigenous recognition in the constitution at the same time.

AUSTRALIA VOTES NO TO RACISM & INEQUALITY OF VOICE

By Barbara Miller 15.10.23

About 60% of Australians voted no in the Voice referendum held on 14.10.23 with no state having a majority of yes voters. The ACT, Teal electorates, and the richer electorates had a majority of yes voters whereas electorates that had a high percentage of First Nations people had a majority of no voters. So, it was clearly not an issue that had the support of a majority of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.

This is a big blow to the efforts of Prime Minister Albanese who spent hundreds of millions of dollars on this referendum that could have been spent on improving health, education, and housing etc. on the ground for First Nations people and easing the cost of living pressure for many Australians. Albanese was so intent on getting this Voice up as his legacy that he was blind to other issues, including joining world leaders in a quick response to the Hamas massacre of Israelis.

Millions were also spent on the yes campaign by big corporations that would have been better spent Closing the Gap between First Nations and other Australians. We have a combination of Big Government, Big Name First Nations leaders, Big Business, Big Banks, Big Sports, and Big Faith and Multicultural groups who all supported the yes vote by saying they were taking the moral high ground on this issue.
However, the Australian people pushed back against the elites and voted for a united nation not divided by race and they voted for equal citizenship of Australians. They stood up to the moral intimidation and voted no.

The sad thing is that the Prime Minister and the First Nations leaders who ran the yes campaign have set back the cause of reconciliation in this nation and now we need some healing as a nation.
First Nations leaders and voters who supported the yes vote are saying that they have been rejected by the Australian people and are in a time of mourning for the result of the vote, their dreams for their reshaping of Australia dashed. They say they have a media blackout for one week with flags at half-mast to grieve and reassess. We certainly feel for them and want to comfort them at this time.

However, Australians have great goodwill towards First Nations people. They would have voted for recognition of First Australians people in the constitution if it had not been conflated with the Voice as a way to do it. What the people of Australia did is to reject the particular model that was put forward.
While there are a few racists in Australia, both in the non-Indigenous and the Indigenous communities, Australia is not a racist nation and has made many important steps to advance the cause of First Nations people.

As the no campaign First Nations leaders have said, the referendum was based on a lie that there was not a First Nations voice advising government because there are many national First Nations organisations advising government including the Coalition of Peaks which represents them all. It has about 80 member organisations. Also, there is no guarantee that the Voice would have made a difference to close the gap.
We do believe a reassessment needs to be made of the programs run for and by First Nations people and the effectiveness of these.

Ps Norman Miller is calling for a reconciliation roundtable gathering to be held by zoom on Thursday 19 October at 6.30pm Brisbane time and 7.30pm Sydney time which he and I will be hosting. He is doing this because over 25 years ago, he had a prophetic word that he and I were called to be watchmen over the nation of Australia in the area of reconciliation. Norman is calling Christians, First Nations and others to pray for reconciliation and to pray for strategies for our nation to move forward and heal after the failed referendum. Contact us to join in.

We all have the message and ministry of reconciliation 2 Cor 5:17-21

Israel and Gaza at War: Gaza is part of the Promised Land by Ps Barbara Miller

Watch this up-to-date message on the Biblical history of Israel and Gaza and some prophetic insights.

WELCOME THE KING OF GLORY

By Ps Barbara Miller

This is a photo of the Welcome the King of Glory event in Israel taken 13.10.17. It was the first one and Norman and I attended it taking a team. A huge number attended, mostly from Pacific nations as the All Pacific Arise (formerly APPA) came at the invitation of Messianic Jewish leaders from Israel. This year 300 attended and it was held at the King of Kings congregation in Jerusalem. While there were calls to cancel it, half of the delegates had already arrived, being there when the Hamas massacre of Israelis occurred. Because of security concerns, the government only allowed 50 people at a time in a room so 6 rooms were used with TV screens.

The 3-day conference is now ended but half of the delegates have not been able to go home because the airport was closed. There are likely to be other Christians still in Israel from the ICEJ and ANCJ conferences so we pray for the safety of Christians in Israel as well as the Israeli people.

The Welcome the King of Glory conference was reportedly successful. We have some of our Indigenous Friends of Israel state coordinators at this conference. The nations repented of their idolatry and covenanted their nation to the Lord and Messianic Jewish leaders repented for Israel’s rejection of Messiah. No doubt heaven took note. Messianic leaders would have found comfort from the nations standing and praying with them in their hour of need.

We ask for prayers for Christian Arabs as well. Forty Arabs were killed among the Israelis killed by Hamas as they tend to be indiscriminate in their killing. There are good relationships between Messianic Jews and Christian Arabs in Israel built up over a long time. However, there are tensions in Israel as Arabs don’t want to be mistaken for Hamas.

We continue to pray as well that this does not develop into a global conflict before the appointed time of the Lord.

RECONCILIATION NEWZ BUZZ Sept 2023 no 1, 10 Sept

L – Uluru R – Flags and banners at the prayer at Mutitjulu Waterhole, Uluru at the Healing the People Healing the Land conference 2005

Bob Randall (1929-2015) was a Yankunytjatjara elder and traditional owner of Uluru who welcomed us to Uluru to host a conference there in 2005 called Healing the Land Healing the People.

Healing the Land Healing the People conference Uluru

Why revisit this now?

Australia is facing a referendum on the Voice on Oct 14 and it is a result of a convention held by First Nations people from around Australia at Uluru in 2017. It is called the Uluru Statement from the Heart. (https://www.aph.gov.au/Parliamentary_Business/Tabled_Documents/3057)

The debate over whether to vote yes or no is dividing Australia – dividing Indigenous and non-Indigenous people and dividing Indigenous people with from one another. We held our conference at Uluru, the heart of Australia, to bring reconciliation and healing and to release repentance to God and one another and receive forgiveness and healing from God and one another. It was a powerful time appointed and anointed by God.

Repentance

Aboriginal leaders of many tribes around Australia attended and many non-Indigenous Australians as well. Uncle Bob was taken from his family at 7 years old and he sang for us one of the iconic songs about the removal of Aboriginal children from their families which he wrote – My Brown Skin Baby. You can sense the wailing of the mothers. There was repentance for this led by Ps Barbara Miller. Uncle Bob was very gracious and said the land belongs to all of us – Indigenous and others.

Dedication and covenanting Australia to God

There are a number of videos but this is a highlights video – see at 4.40min the dedication and covenanting Australia to God in a prophetic act by Ps Norman Miller and traditional owner of Uluru Bob Randall with tribal leaders standing with them. Norman had seen the hand of God come down over Uluru and he believed God wanted to unlock something in the spirit in our nation and turn the nation towards Him. It was based on Isaiah 22:22 “I will place on his shoulder the key to the house of David; what he opens no one can shut, and what he shuts no one can open” and a Joshua strategy of doing it 7 times.

Norman believed the Lord wanted the key turned in the centre of a map of Australia as a prophetic act 7 times at 10.22, and 22.22 for the 3 days and the first night at 22.22. It was very powerful with Uncle Bob being the local authority and national elder and Norman in national spiritual authority together on the first night and Norman on the remainder. Norman also had this scripture the Lord gave him – Psalm 72:9 “May desert tribes bow down before Him, and His enemies lick the dust!” (ESV)

Repentance by leaders from many Aboriginal tribes

See at 1.14hr repentance by leaders from many Aboriginal tribes. There was repentance from idol worship, bloodshed, witchcraft, broken covenants, sexual immorality and impurity, homosexuality, lust, fornication, iniquity and gambling. There was a release of forgiveness towards those who had hurt them and prayer for healing from rejection and for fathers to be restored to families.

Ps Vuniani Nakauyaca from Fiji led this session and did an act of healing the land with the soil of the land and salt and water similar to what had been done in Fiji with the revival there. Norman led the men Indigenous and nonindigenous to pray for and bless their wives and ask for forgiveness if needed. Ps Peter Walker asked the Indigenous men to wash the feet of nonindigenous men as an act of reconciliation.

Dr George Annadorai from Singapore gave a powerful message about how the Lord spoke to pastors in Singapore (Chinese and Indian) that the land did not recognize them. They realized they had left out the Malay people. He spoke on the prodigal son with Indigenous men representing the younger brother and nonindigenous men representing the elder brother. A powerful reconciliation followed in a prophetic act.

The conference gave a platform to a number of Aboriginal speakers – Ps Peter and Maria Walker, Ps Gloria Dyer (now Miller), and Ella Gordon. Ps Vuniani and Ella have gone to their heavenly reward and we were blessed to have them.

Prayer at Mutitujulu Waterhole

About 350 people attended our meeting in a large tent, owned by the Tent of Promise, including Ps Milo Siilata and his son from New Zealand, We hired a number of buses to take us to the foot of the rock Uluru to pray at Mutitjulu Waterhole where we had an amazing time of prayer.

Rainbow Serpent left Uluru

Amazingly, as we left the rock, two people, Ps Veronica Coutts and John Andrews turned around to take a photo and captured on their phones the rainbow serpent and its eggs leaving Uluru as we had prayed for. This could not be seen in the natural. We understand that New Age people and witches from around the world as well as Aboriginal people continue to invoke the rainbow serpent. https://youtu.be/ke8wiNiRwvk

A lot of spiritual warfare came against us with a group in Brisbane holding a meeting pretending they were the ones organising the conference. Ps Noel Mann saw their ad in the paper and alerted us and Norman and I flew to Brisbane and confronted them with Ella Gordon joining us. We had to deregister them from our conference. Despite this, we had some women turn up and dance like snakes during our worship and we had to remove them. Our worship team had strange items left outside their hotel rooms.

Ps Barbara Miller’s message covers the vision for the conference and the spiritual mapping she did beforehand. Part 2 of it is here https://youtu.be/NGttpvAM5p8 Part 1 is missing at the moment but more repentance from tribal leaders can be seen in this message which occurs on the first morning of the conference.

The conference started and ended with worship. It started with the song Kings and Nations and a parade of many waving banners and flags representing the 12 tribes of Israel and the 12 gates of Jerusalem. It ended at 1.56hr with joyful shake-a-leg dancing by Aboriginal Christians at the end.

This conference was one of 10 Psalm 24:7 conferences Welcoming the King of Glory we held around the nation between 2003 and 2012, with 4 of them in Parliament House Canberra and the others at the Sydney Opera House, Melbourne, Bendigo and Cairns.

Thanks to David Jack or making these videos available and to Sonia Harriman for the highlights video.

Welcome the King of Glory Prayer Movement from the Ends of the Earth to Israel by Ps Avi Mizrachi.

Message at Indigenous Friends of Israel and Tabernacle of David Cairns conference 18-20 Aug 23 Cairns. Ps Avi and Chaya Mizrachi are the leaders of the Messianic pastors team that is hosting this conference in Israel with the nations attending, particularly All Pacific Arise (formerly APPA) who have been walking with the Israeli team.

Norman and Barbara led a team from Australia to the 1st Welcome the King of Glory (WTKOG) convocation in Israel in 2017. The 3rd Welcome the King of Glory convocation in Jerusalem 11-13 October 2023 has the theme of “Gathering the Nations to Covenant with God!” (Zechariah 2:10-13) so it will be a special time and we encourage you to attend.

Norman and Barbara aren’t taking a team this year but we asked Ps Avi and Chaya to pray for the team who is going who attended our Cairns conference. During the video, you’ll see some footage of the 1st and 2nd WTKOG convocations. Check out the interesting story Ps Avi tells of Abu Ghosh where the first WTKOG was held and its relationship with Obed Edom and the ark of the covenant which Barbara also shares on in relation to a dream she had prior to hosting the Bethany Gate APPA in Cairns in 2006. It all ties in.

Indigenous Friends of Israel decrees

Indigenous Friends of Israel & TOD Cairns Conference in Cairns on 18.8.2023, there was a valuable time of decreeing, by the Indigenous people and leaders present, that “the Jews are the Indigenous people of Israel” and “we align ourselves with the God of Israel.”

Indigenous Friends of Israel had a meeting after the conference of state and city coordinators so we are stretching the tent pegs as in Isaiah 54 so if you are interested, please let us know. Non-Indigenous people can be associate members as we believe in reconciliation. Email us here.

INDIGENOUS FRIENDS OF ISRAEL & TABERNACLE OF DAVID CAIRNS CONFERENCE

We were very blessed to have Ps Avi and Chaya Mizrachi and their family – daughter Devora, 2 grandchildren and nephew Eden and niece Linoy for our Indigenous Friends of Israel and Tabernacle of David Cairns conference 18-20 August. They came from ministering in the Solomon Islands. It was a very anointed conference and we were all so blessed. This was just 2 weeks after Ps Norman and Barbara had hosted a Church and Cultural Challenges conference in Canberra.

We were also blessed to have David and Carol Jack come from Melbourne and for David to video both conferences. He is still working on these but in the meantime, we have a few not-so-professional videos of the Cairns conference for you to look at on YouTube. We started with a Shabbat meal and ended with an amazing prophetic act of the tribes aligning themselves with the tribe of Judah and Israel. These are not available as yet.

This photo was sent to Barbara by an Egyptian intercessor concerned at the Australian government’s decision to use Hamas terminology that the West Bank (which includes East Jerusalem) and Gaza are “occupied territories” rather than Australia’s previous position that they were “disputed territories.” Hamas, a terrorist organisation, is hailing this decision. It is also inaccurate in that Israel pulled out of Gaza many years ago. This decision was made a few days prior to the National ALP conference in exchange for the Socialist Left’s support of the AUKUS defence agreement.

We believe the timing of our conference was strategic in that it was the same timing as the National ALP Conference in Brisbane. Barbara spoke about this in her message (available in the next newsletter) and made a decree of reversal of their policy. See our press release of 10 August here –https://indigenousfriendsofisrael.org/indigenous-friends-of-israel-australia-press-release-10-8-23/

The Southern Cross Alliance for Israel (SCAFI) also put a press release out on 15 August signed off by John Lockwood and 30 mostly Christian organisations with some Jewish. David Jack did the leg work on it to get agreement on the wording. Our Centre for International Reconciliation and Peace and Indigenous Friends of Israel are 2 of the signatories.

The ALP has long had a position to recognize Palestine as a state though it doesn’t meet the requirements internationally recognized for a state. There was a push at this conference to recognize Palestine as a state immediately. However, after some debate, it was decided that the status quo would remain.

What if there was no Israel & how Bible prophecies have been fulfilled by Ps Avi Mizrachi

Ps Chaya Mizrachi shares on what it’s like to live in Israel
Comment – This is not just good information but sharing from the heart

Many gifts were exchanged. This is a 2m x 2m canvas painting that Norman, who paints under his Aboriginal name of Munganbana (Mountain Water) gave to Ps Avi and Chaya Mizrachi. This painting has the names of Norman’s tribes on it – Jirrbal, Bar-barrum and Wadjanbarra Yidinji

This is a specially made drum/tambourine that was given by the Mizrachis to the Millers. We will get more information for you and a closer-up photo in another newsletter.

Devora Mizrachi on growing up in Israel and her time in the army

So many people to thank – all those who attended, all those who prayed, those who contributed finances. Most of all we thank the Lord because without Him it would be impossible. Thanks to our Israeli speakers and to Ps Norman and Barbara Miller who spoke. Thanks to Mum Ps Shirley Miller and our TOD prayer team. Thanks also to Deborah Miller, Colleen Burfitt, and Lilian Miller for catering. We overflowed with food all weekend. Thanks to Judy Miller on registrations, Carol Jack on the book table, Deborah on the overhead projector and Thomas Miller & Colleen Burfitt on the amazing praise and worship with Israeli songs. Thanks for Devora, Eden and Linoy Mizrachi for leading Israeli dancing. Again, thanks to David Jack on video.

ISRAEL AMBASSADOR OPENS CONFERENCE

LEFT – We were pleased to have the Israel Ambassador to Israel Amir Maimon open our Church and Cultural Challenges conference on 27.7.23 at Lifestream Church in Canberra. Norman presented him with his award-winning art book. RIGHT – Carol and David Jack are pictured here with the Ambassador and Norman and Barbara. David presented the Ambassador with a book about his father’s art. Ps Lai from Taiwan also presented the Ambassador with his art. The Ambassador spoke about the importance of communicating the many positive messages about Israel, not just focusing on issues or conflict. He is reaching out to all Australians with this message. He spoke for about 20 mins and had a question and answer session at the end.

DON’T MISS OUT ON SPEAKERS FROM ISRAEL IN CAIRNS 18-20 AUGUST! HELP $$ INDIGENOUS PEOPLE TO COME here

REVIVAL COMING

A team of 9 with 3 pastors came from Taiwan to our Church & Cultural Challenges conference. They are Indigenous and Ps Lai spoke of the revival they had 50 years ago and he showed a video of it. His father was a key person in that revival. Ps Joy, an Indigenous pastor from Malaysia said it is 50 years also since their revival. Both nations are expecting and praying for revival to break out again. Ps Norman shared that he and his brother Tom and sister Colleen who came as part of the worship team from Cairns, were sons and daughters of a revivalist, Shirley Miller who was in the Pinnacle Pocket revival when she was a child.

As Ps Peter Walker was unable to make it, his session became an international session with the Taiwan team, Ps Joy from Malaysia and Ps Dora Kua from PNG sharing.

Ps Chen came to the 12.12.12 conference Norman and Barbara hosted in Sydney in 2012 and has since been in regular contact. He sees Ps Norman as a spiritual father and asked him to release a blessing which he did on the last day. Tears flowed and gifts were given and Barbara declared the blessings of Deut 28:1-14 over them.

Church & Cultural Challenges Conference Vision: 4 Visions and Angelic Intervention by Ps B Miller.

SUMMARY

This was the first message of the conference on 27.7.23. The video missed the first few minutes of my message but I spoke of 4 visions I had in March which led me to organise this conference. The first one was of demonic entities coming out of the cave of Pan at Caesarea Philippi in Israel.

Strategic Time – Tish’a B’Av or 9 Av

Tish’a B’Av for the Hebrew Year 5783 began at sundown on Wednesday, 26 July 2023 and ended at nightfall on Thursday, 27 July 2023. This was the first day of our Canberra conference. It has been a disastrous day through history of the Jewish people, the day when Solomon’s temple was destroyed by the Babylonians and the second temple by the Romans, Jews were expelled from England and Spain, WW1 started and Hitler’s Final Solution was declared. I write about it in my book on Holocaust or Shoah survivor Lena Goldstein as that is when a large number of Jews were sent from Warsaw Ghetto to Treblinka death camp.

What were the spiritual issues that brought about these consequences? One was the bad report of the spies after they spied out the Promised Land for 40 days. They said we are like grasshoppers in their eyes and can’t take the land. This was after journeying all that way from Egypt and seeing all God’s miracles. The people cried grumbled & rebelled. Nu 14:1-3.

According to Rabbinic tradition, the sin of the spies produced the annual fast day of 9 Av. When the Israelites accepted the false report, they wept over the false belief that God was setting them up for defeat. The night that the people cried was the 9 Av, which became a day of weeping and tragedy for all time. We need to believe God’s promises and not see ourselves in the eyes of God’s enemies as grasshoppers but in God’s eyes.

We are in a 9 Av situation now.

We may look at giants in the land like identity politics, worship of the environment instead of God, a decline in values etc. and hear bad reports and get discouraged and frustrated and even lose hope and cry. We may be disappointed. But God is well able in His timing and His way to defeat His enemies and we are well able in His power to withstand the enemy and do all God has called us to do.

Give me my mountain!

We need to be like the 2 spies with the good report – Joshua and Caleb and say like Caleb, even at 85 years old, “Give me my mountain.” We were urged to declare this.

Prayer for the 7 Mountains

Lord, we pray you will give us the 7 mountains of cultural influence – family, religion, education, media, entertainment, business, and government. We pray to God to release angels to kindergartens, schools, universities, workplaces – government and corporate, parliaments and local councils, charities, sporting codes, media, entertainment, the arts, families, and churches to fight ungodly influences.

Decree

2 Sam 5:24:17-24. Baal Perazim means Lord of the Breakthrough.” Or YHWH Perazim so we declare and decree a breakthrough in bringing a cultural shift in our nations back to Judeo-Christian values in the name of the Lord of the breakthrough, the Lord of Heavens armies.

v24 As soon as you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the poplar (mulberry) trees, move quickly, because that will mean the Lord has gone out in front of you to strike the Philistine army.” The Lord told David to move after he heard the angelic army moving.

Warfare in the Heavenlies Over Australia

I sense we are experiencing warfare in the heavenlies over Australia as in the time of Daniel. Dan 10 tells us that Daniel prayed and fasted when he realized that the prophecy of Jeremiah showed it was time for the captives to return from Babylon to Israel. An angel finally appeared to him 21 days later, and explains the delay: the “prince of Persia” had been opposing him the whole time, and it wasn’t until Michael relieved the angel that he could continue his trip to Daniel. The angel gave Daniel long an outline of future events but had to return to fighting the prince of Persia and the prince of Greece. Only Michael supports this angel against these forces.

So there is likely to be an angel over Australia and a demonic spirit prince over Australia. We need to pray and ask God to release His angel over Australia on behalf of His plans and purposes and align ourselves with God’s purposes and activities.

Judah Must Go First & Waking Up From the Spirit of Woke by Ps Norman Miller

In 1999, Barbara & I went to Ephesus to join Peter Wagner & Christians from many nations to pray against the Queen of Heaven. The strategy was to worship for 4 hours because in Biblical times, they worshipped Diana for 2hrs. That’s one reason why I wanted to start with 4 hrs worship.

After the death of Joshua, the Israelites asked the Lord, “Who of us is to go up first to fight against the Canaanites?” The Lord answered, “Judah shall go up; I have given the land into their hands.” Judges 1:1-2.

On the first night of the conference, we had no speaker just 4 hours of non-stop worship with Lifestream church taking the first hour, Tabernacle of David Cairns taking the 2nd and 4th hour and the third hour shared by international teams from Taiwan and Malaysia. We praise the Lord for an awesome night of breakthrough.

Double rainbow seen over Cairns first day of our Canberra conference (photo by Serene Tan) and rainbow seen over Canberra 28.7.23 (photo by Jacqueline Bedson.) In Genesis 9: 14-15, God told Noah, “Whenever I bring clouds over the earth and the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will remember my covenant between me and you and all living creatures of every kind. Never again will the waters become a flood to destroy all life.”

Even around the throne of God, there is pictured a majestic rainbow—used to communicate the glory of God (Rev. 4:3). We thank the Lord for His blessing over the conference.

So many people to thank – all those who attended, all those who prayed, those who contributed finances. Most of all we thank the Lord because without Him it would be impossible. Thanks to speakers – Cindy McGarvie, Dr Graham Mclennan, Daniel Simon. David Jack, Amanda Stoker by zoom and the international team – all incredible speakers with so much information for us to digest.

We had a live zoom for those who couldn’t come face to face. We won’t be providing DVDs but we do hope to have messages available on youtube to those who were registered and perhaps to others by donation as well. David Jack did an incredible job videoing as he has done for many of our conferences. Peter Taylor did an amazing job not just looking after the sound and making the PowerPoint of messages and songs available but also setting up and managing the live zoom. We thank Derek Bedson for looking after the overheads. Thanks to Peter, Derek, David, Glen Sebasio and Norman for setting up.

We were incredibly blessed by the LIfestream church who supported the conference not just with the venue but the catering and cleaning etc. It is a church of elders rather than pastors and the servant leadership of Peter and Kim Taylor and Derek and Jacqueline Bedson was unparalleled. May they receive their reward.

Thanks also to our faithful prayer team who met with us regularly for months to pray for the conference and Jacqueline who led up the prayer team during the conference. Also thanks to all the worship teams including our wonderful team from Cairns of Thomas Miller, Colleen Burfitt and Norman Miller with Glen Sebasio of Canberra joining us. We are grateful to Judy Miller who looked after the registration and book tables.

We thank David and Carol Jack for their financial help for the conference and Rod and Lyn Baker who decided to bless the speakers with dinner. Also thanks to Joy Silverwood for cooking lunches. Please pray for Kim, Jacqueline and Joy who will head to the Philippines for a mission trip.

We were very blessed to have the team from Taiwan and pastors from Malaysia and PNG joining us.

REPORT FROM ALBERT VEKSLER, HOST JERUSALEM PRAYER BREAKFAST

The Mayor of the City of Gold Coast Tom Tate was our host and we had several dignitaries present from Australia, Fiji, Papua New Guinea, Cook Islands, Solomon Islands, and Vanuatu – altogether 16 nations prayed for the peace of Jerusalem.

We saw something phenomenal that we haven’t seen before – governments sent their official representatives to the Jerusalem Prayer Breakfast Gold Coast: Prime Minister of Fiji, Sitiveni Rabuka sent Deputy Prime Minister Gavoka; Prime Minister of Papua New Guinea, Marape sent the Minister of Community Development and Religion, The Hon. James Peter; Cook Islands Government sent Minister of the Crown, The Hon. Vainetutai Rose Toki-Brown; Solomon Islands’ government sent The Hon. Peter Kenilorea Jr., Member of the National Parliament and the Vanuatuan Prime Minister Kalsakau sent the Deputy Speaker of the Vanuatu Parliament MP Noris Kalmet and MP Jean Baptist.

From Australia, we had Mr. Robert Moelhoek, a Member of the Queensland Parliament, and The Hon. Stuart Robert, a (recently retired) Member of the Australian Parliament. Robert Ilatov, the co-chair of the Jerusalem Prayer Breakfast, MK Tatiana Mazarsky and MK Ohad Tal represented Israel. In addition, we had delegates from Estonia, Fiji, Indonesia, Papua, New Zealand, the Philippines, Samoa, Switzerland, Taiwan, the United Kingdom, and the United States.

Deputy Prime Minister Gavoka shared how God had turned around the political situation in Fiji, after the opposition leader, former PM Sitiveni Rabuka prayed at the JPB Canberra in 2020, and promised to recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital.

Not only did the Head of the Opposition become Prime Minister again, but recently the cabinet made the decision to open the Embassy in Israel.

Daniel Simon and Graham McLennan, speakers at Church & Cultural Challenges Conference

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

MESSAGE FROM DANIEL SIMON, SOLICITOR HUMAN RIGHTS LAW ALLIANCE, A SPEAKER AT ABOVE CONFERENCE

The book of Romans tells us to “Live in harmony with one another… If possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all.”

For centuries we have understood that living in harmony with others means respecting their freedom to speak freely, express their opinions, and live according to their faith. But these hard-won freedoms should not be taken for granted. In Australia today Christians find themselves under increasing pressure to stay silent, to compromise on issues of faith, and to leave their beliefs at home or in the pew. It is increasingly difficult to be open about our faith in the workplace and to form faith-based communities, schools, and charities. But these freedoms are important for all Australians, not just Christians. We should desire a society in which these fundamental freedoms are valued, so we can be free to speak the truth in love and to “overcome evil with good”.

The law in Australia provides some protection for the fundamental human right of religious freedom. But as society becomes increasingly hostile to Christianity, the gaps in the law are being exposed and conflicting rights are being given priority. Freedom of religion is seen as an excuse for people of faith to discriminate against minorities. This is seen especially in the area of LGBT issues, and Christian schools are currently at the frontlines of public debate about conflicting rights and freedoms. The Human Rights Law Alliance helps to protect the rights of Christians and Christian organisations to stay faithful to Scripture and serve freely in their communities.
