Happy Mothers’ Day!!

We want to extend our blessings to all our wonderful readers. God bless you!!! And Happy Mothers Day to all the mothers, including spiritual mothers!!! As we have our service on Saturdays, we already celebrated Mother’s Day yesterday with a wonderful event at our church with worship, communion, an amazing meal with amazing decorations by Norman’s sisters – Colleen, Lilian, Deborah and Joanne. We even had Bible quizzes on mothers and crafts to add some fun to the occasion. Who said church is boring? Not around here!

Israel Events

April 25-26 – In 2023, Yom Haatzmaut (Israeli Independence Day) was from sundown on April 25 to sundown on April 26. The major State Ceremony took place on the eve of Yom Haatzmaut at Mount Herzl, Israel’s National Ceremony in Jerusalem. This event marked the end of Yom Hazikaron, Israel’s memorial day, commemorating their fallen.


May 7-28 – 21 Prayers for Israel and Isaiah 62 Fast led by Mike Bickle and the International House of Prayer Kansas City. It is estimated that 5 million Christians worldwide are praying for Israel at this time. The judicial crisis in Israel has caused great unrest and division as the government tries to find the right balance between the powers of judiciary and the legislature. Also, Israel is surrounded by hostile states. CLICK HERE to get the 21 prayers.

May 9 to current – Following the death by hunger strike in prison of a Palestinian Islamic Jihad leader, there have been over 1,000 rockets fired at Israeli citizens killing one woman and injuring others. David’s Sling, Israel’s defence system, is intercepting most missiles. Israel has counteracted by the targeted killing of 6 Palestinian Jihad terrorist leaders (Iran’s proxy). Unfortunately, as they use civilians as human shields, there has been some collateral damage, The ALP Australian government is planning to increase funding to the Palestinian Authority, so Australian taxpayers will be supporting terrorism whether they want to or not.

May 14 – Israel’s independence was declared on May 14, 1948 — the day when David ben Gurion officially read the Proclamation of the Establishment of the State of Israel.. Happy 75th birthday Israel.

May 15 – May 151948, the first day of Israeli Independence and exactly one year after United Nations Special Committee on Palestine (UNSCOP) was established,Arab armies invaded Israel and the first Arab-Israeli war began. The fledgling Israel state managed to miraculously win and Arabs have called this Nakba Day. The United Nations will stage a high-level special meeting to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the Nakba – the mass displacement of around 750,000 Palestinians from their homeland in 1948. Many forget that the same number of Jews were displaced from Arab lands at the same time. However, Israel gave them a home while the Arab nations rejected the Palestinians to keep the war going.


Prophetic Word & Decree – Hear the Call of the Voice of the Lord and the Call to Gather in Canberra by Ps Norman Miller

Made on 1 April – A prophetic call to gather in Canberra 27-29 July at Lifestream Church for the Church and Cultural Challenges Conference hosted by the Centre for International Reconciliation and Peace and the Tabernacle of David Cairns. It is a call to deep intercession, the harp and bowl ministry and to bring a cultural shift in our nation to Biblical values. Sound the shofar and hear the roar of the Lion of the tribe of Judah. See more on

www.reconciliationandpeace.org/events

Don’t miss this amazing conference 27-29 July at Lifestream Christian Fellowship, 152 Langdon Ave, Wanniassa, Canberra. Speakers are Cindy McGarvie, National Director Youth for Christ, Dr Graham McLennan, founder National Alliance of Christian Leaders, Ps Peter Walker, founder Australian Indigenous Christian Ministries, David Jack, an arts and media expert, and by video, former Senator Amanda Stoker. We will start with 4 hours of worship as we seek the Lord for His purposes in strategic prayer for our nation. There is a strong effort to remove the church from the public square and impose worldly values on the church restricting our religious freedom. 

We have issues of political correctness, identity politics, and much more. Come and help bring a shift to our nation. Gal 3:28 says:
There is no longer Jew or Greek, there is no longer slave or free, there is no longer male and female; for all of you are one in Christ Jesus.

Enormous cultural changes challenge our Christian faith. We need strategic prayer, worship, and to give a reason for our faith 1 Peter 3:15. We need the anointing of Isaachar to know the times and seasons and what Israel and the church should do.

We have a prayer group for the conference with Christians from around Australia fortnightly by zoom and amazing revelation is coming forth. 

You can register for the conference on Eventbrite and early bird regos expire on 12 June – bit.ly/440qyGA

People Pleasers or God Pleasers: the Church and Cultural Challenges by Ps Barbara Miller

Left – Interim Truth-Telling and Treaty Board (ITTB) – Ray Rosendale, Cheryl Buchanan, Aaron Fa’aoso, and Dr Sallyanne Atkinson, Cairns 9.5.23,  Right – Barbara Miller and Cheryl Buchanan, Co-chair ITTB Cairns 9.5.23

PATH TO TREATY

Path to Treaty legislation passed in Cairns as the Qld Parliament met in Cairns 9-11 May. It will establish a Truth-Telling and Healing Inquiry and a Treaty Institute. Barbara wrote an article for The Spectator which came out today 13 May though it was written the previous week.

Norman and Barbara and other Miller family members and community leaders were invited to a breakfast with the Premier, MPs and the ITTB on 11 May to commemorate the passing of the legislation. 

Traditional owner, Seith Fourmile, called out Barbara Miller and a few other key workers for Indigenous advancement including Norman’s father and mother. Co-chair of the ITTB, Cheryl Buchanan, singled out Barbara for having worked as long as Cheryl had – 53 years – for Indigenous advancement. At an earlier ITTB workshop on 9 May, Seith honoured Barbara and Norman, and Cheryl honoured Barbara remembering her as the “young Christian girl” who had stood with them at the tent embassy in Canberra in 1971.

VOICE REFERENDUM

Hardly surprising that The Weekend Australian May 13-14 said on its front page, “Australians will be asked to vote for an Indigenous voice to Parliament and executive government after a Labor-dominated parliamentary committee endorsed Anthony Albanese’s proposed constitutional amendment without change, deepening the political battle over the referendum process. 

The Liberals and Nationals – who made up less than a third of the committee members – issued dissenting reports on Friday attacking as insufficient the six-week timeframe given to the inquiry.” They said there should have been a constitutional convention to iron out drafting issues.

Former Prime Minister, Tony Abbott was denied the opportunity to make a verbal submission to the Inquiry until he went to the media and they relented and gave him a grilling over his opposition to the Voice. Ps Norman Miller was similarly denied a hearing though he put his name down to speak before the inquiry hearing in Cairns and waited all day to give evidence. Instead, he put in a written submission which should be publicly available along with all the others. As we know, there have been many legal opinions for and against the Voice with disagreement in the legal fraternity. 

Pastors Norman and Barbara were interviewed by Vision Christian Radio on the Voice as Christians are wanting some leadership and advice on this issue. A Canberra intercessor said that 1 Way fm Christian radio in Canberra also covered their interview.

It is unhelpful that one of the Aboriginal designers of the Voice, Marcia Langton, publicly said on there could be an intifada in the western desert of Australia if a yes vote for the referendum did not succeed. (The Australian 3 May). Dr David Adler President of the Australian Jewish Association told Sky News 14 May that antifada is an Arab word and means race-based terrorism. 

This is not what we want to see in Australia. There is a debate about whether the Voice would further or set back the cause of reconciliation between First Nations people and the rest of Australia. 

UPCOMING EVENTS

May 25-27 – Shavuot or Feast of Weeks

May 27 – National Day of Prayer and Fasting – see Canberra Declaration https://canberradeclaration.org.au/

God’s Voice Shakes the Desert by Ps Norman Miller, Tabernacle of David Cairns

Whose voice are we listening to? There are conflicting and confrontational voices on the streets and in the media. We need to train ourselves to hear the still small voice of God. Our nation is at a crossroads. We need to be on the road leading to eternity and the cross. However, God’s voice can thunder as well. I believe God is going to do a lot of shaking in the centre of Australia, in the desert. Psalm 29:3,4 & 8 says:

3 “The voice of the Lord is over the waters; The God of glory thunders; The Lord is over many waters.
4 The voice of the Lord is powerful; The voice of the Lord is full of majesty…..
8 The voice of the Lord shakes the desert” I believe we need a decree for Alice Springs near the centre of Australia because of the crime, alcohol problems, child abuse and neglect, domestic violence, youth wandering the streets to avoid dysfunctional family situations etc.


This is The Australian newspaper 30.1.23 which covers some of the issues at Alice Springs and some concerns with the Voice. There has been much discussion for and against the Voice. The proposal is to have a referendum around July to change the constitution to insert an Indigenous voice to Parliament. Unfortunately, the voices of elected federal members of parliament for the Alice Springs area, coalition senator Jacinta Nampijinpa Price and ALP MP Marion Scrymgour warned about the current issues in Alice Springs and their voices have been ignored even though they are on opposite sides of politics and have a bipartisan position on this.

Uluru, the heart of Australia – 2Chron 7:14 – If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

DECREE RE GOD’S VOICE SHAKES THE DESERT

We decree that Australia, including the Aboriginal people of Australia, will hear the voice of God rather than ungodly voices. We decree for Alice Springs and the desert areas of Australia, that God’s voice will shake the desert as in Psalm 29 and His voice will shake them out of ungodly thoughts and practices to worship Him as the only true God. We decree that the desert tribes will serve the God of the Bible and the enemies of God will be defeated. We decree Psalm 72:9:

“May the desert tribes bow before him
and his enemies lick the dust.”

We decree that God’s people will choose the kind of fasting that pleases Him according to Isaiah 58:
6“Is not this the kind of fasting I have chosen:
to loose the chains of injustice
and untie the cords of the yoke,
to set the oppressed free
and break every yoke?”

We decree that as Alice Springs loosens the chains of injustice and breaks off every yoke, the Lord will turn the sun-scorched land into a well-watered garden. We decree
11 “The Lord will guide you always;
 he will satisfy your needs in a sun-scorched land
 and will strengthen your frame.
 You will be like a well-watered garden,
like a spring whose waters never fail.”

We decree that lives and institutions that have been ruined will be healed and rebuilt as they come to know the Lord and broken lives and families, homes and workplaces will be repaired. We decree that the streets of Alice Springs will hear the sound of singing, laughter, and joy. We decree that the people will have enough to eat, their needs will be met and they will have safe homes to sleep in and safe, nurturing relationships.
12 “Your people will rebuild the ancient ruins
 and will raise up the age-old foundations;
you will be called Repairer of Broken Walls,
 Restorer of Streets with Dwellings.”

We decree the land and people in Alice Springs and the central desert of Australia will respond to God’s voice and be glad and the land will bring forth streams in the desert as in Isaiah 35:1, & 6-7:
1“The desert and the parched land will be glad;
the wilderness will rejoice and blossom. Like the crocus,”
6-7 “For waters shall burst forth in the wilderness, and streams in the desert. The parched ground shall become a pool; and the thirsty land, springs of water.”

We decree the water of God’s Holy Spirit will flow over Alice Springs and the central desert of Australia as in Isaiah 48:21:
“They did not thirst when he led them through the deserts;
 he made water flow for them from the rock;
he split the rock and water gushed out.”

We decree and sing to Alice Springs and the town camps around it and the central desert of Australia “Spring up, O well! Yes, sing its praises!” (Numbers 21:16-18)

Step Up Into God’s Plans and Purposes For Our Lives

by Ps Barbara Miller

Come up here says Lord – Message by Ps Barbara 21/1/23 Revelation 4 1 And the voice I had first heard speaking to me like a trumpet said, “Come up here, and I will show you what must take place after this.” At once I was in the Spirit, and there before me was a throne in heaven with someone sitting on it.

Psalm 24:3-6 ” Who shall ascend into the hill of the LORD? or who shall stand in his holy place? He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully. He shall receive the blessing from the LORD, and righteousness from the God of his salvation.

Luke 14 10 10 But when you are invited, take the lowest place, so that when your host comes, he will say to you, ‘Friend, move up to a better place. ‘ Then you will be honored in the presence of all the other guests.

Russian Invasion of Ukraine – Decree

By Barbara Miller

Our heartfelt prayers have been going out daily for Ukraine since the Russian invasion. The Lord showed me these spirits are operating – power lust, glory lust, blood lust, a spirit of empire, territorial spirits, self-exalting spirits, a deceptive spirit, a thieving, destroying spirit, and an authoritarian, oppressive spirit. Also, from newspaper reports, it appears that Putin has co-opted the church with only some opposition. He sees this as a spiritual battle, and it is – between the forces of darkness and light. However, in his deception, he is in the right. So we can do prayers of binding and loosing as in as in Mat 16:19 as we are given the keys of the kingdom to do this. I don’t recommend you do this on your own as some of these are world powers and it is not safe. However, I have a decree that you can pray. Job 22:28 says:

Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee: and the light shall shine upon thy  ways.

We decree the power lust and glory lust operating in the Russian invasion of Ukraine must bow the knee before the name of Jesus and, as Jesus prayed in the Lord’s prayer in Matt 6– “lead us not into temptation” but deliver Ukraine and Russia “from the evil one for yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. We decree the blood of Jesus is more powerful than blood lust and more powerful to save than any other blood. As it says in Rev 1:5 “from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To him who loves us and has freed us from our sins by his blood.”

We decree the spirit of empire operating in Europe cannot stand against the Creator of the universe as Col 1:16 says “For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him and for him”. We decree loss of power to territorial spirits operating in Europe. As Acts 17:26 says “From one man he made all the nations, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and he marked out their appointed times in history and the boundaries of their lands.”

We declare Jesus has triumphed on the cross and by His resurrection over the lying, deception and murder that has been occurring in the Russian invasion of Ukraine. As John 8:44 says “You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies. We declare that the thieving, destroying spirit operating in the Russian invasion of Ukraine is defeated by the blood and name of Jesus and that Jesus brings life and resurrection to Ukraine. As John 10:10 says “The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.”

We decree demise and dismantling of the authoritarian spirit operating over Russia and declare the servant leadership demonstrated by Jesus in Matt 20:25-28. “Jesus called them together and said, ‘You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their high officials exercise authority over them.  Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first must be your servant— just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many’.”

We decree that the church in Russia will shine a light in the darkness and have the strength to resist being compromised and co-opted by Putin. As Jesus prays in John 17:14-15 “I have given them your word and the world has hated them, for they are not of the world any more than I am of the world. My prayer is not that you take them out of the world but that you protect them from the evil one.”

We decree that those who have been blinded by the evil one in Europe will have their eyes opened and that they will reach out to Jesus for their salvation. We pray comfort and practical help for all those who have lost loved ones and been wounded on both sides of the war and for those who been made refugees and lost their homes and livelihoods. We pray wisdom for the leaders of all Europe, especially of Ukraine. We thank you Jesus that you came to

“… proclaim freedom for the prisoners
    and recovery of sight for the blind,
to set the oppressed free,”

Luke 4:18

Are there any similarities between Chanukkah (Hanukkah) and Christmas?

WORD FOR 2022 BY APOSTLE NORMAN MILLER

Decree is the key in 2022
And the key of the house of David will I lay upon his shoulder; so he shall open, and none shall shut, and he shall shut (Isaiah 22:22)

VISION BY LILIAN SCHMID, PRAYER COORDINATOR SPHERES OF INFLUENCE, AUSTRALIA
On Monday the 13th of December I saw in a vision a woman was trying to open the Pandora box. (the Lord spoke to me and He said this Pandora box represents the body of Christ in Australia). The lid was open a little bit and I saw all evil was trying to come out of it. I shut the lid with my wrist and locked it with the key. (Please pray.)

Barbara’s comment – Norman and I have been very concerned about the way different views about covid 19 are dividing the church and the misinformation that is doing the rounds. We can’t let the enemy of our souls get a foothold. We had decided to put out again messages we shared in March 2020, very early in the pandemic, which we believe are still relevant. Lilian’s vision confirmed this for us because one of the things I found out about just after I published the March article below is that the Wuhan lab that the virus may have escaped from (one theory) had a sign outside saying “Pandora’s Box.” I wish I had kept a photo of it at the time. However, an internet search will show current discussions are “was it people or nature who opened Pandora’s box?” and US officials being warned not to investigate the lab leak theory or they would open Pandora’s box. Please prayerfully read our articles below.

COVID-19, PAN & HOW TO PRAY
PANDEMIC, PANGOLIN, PANDEMONIUM, PAN BUT BE CAREFUL HOW WE PRAY LEST WE ARE FOUND OPPOSING GOD

By Pastor Barbara Miller 17.3.20

Pandemic, pangolin, pandemonium, panic, Pan. What do all these have in common – a false god called Pan who creates panic. But let’s come back to that.

When there is a crisis, before praying we need to ask ourselves if this comes from God or not. According to tradition, Gamaliel succeeded his father, Simon, and his grandfather, the renowned sage Hillel to be president of the Sanhedrin, the supreme Jewish court. Gamaliel intervened on behalf of the Apostles of Jesus when they had been arrested and brought before the Sanhedrin. Interestingly we find later in Acts 22:3 that Apostle Paul was a student of Gamaliel. But what Gamaliel said has been ringing in my mind for some time as being critical to how we pray in a crisis. He said that we don’t want to find ourselves opposing God:
“But if it is from God, you will not be able to stop these men; you will only find yourselves fighting against God.” (Acts 5:39).

DAVIDIC ANOINTING: COVID-19 TO DOVID-19

By Norman Miller 26.3.20
 I sensed the Lord was saying that it is a Davidic anointing that will deal with the Covid-19. The Lord gave me Dovid-19 and a number of scriptures where He highlighted chapter 19. Barbara pointed out that Dovid is the Jewish (Yiddish) spelling for David. I believe that the Lord is using this virus to wipe out some of the Saul-like structures in the church and take us back to the heart of David, the harp and bowl ministry and house churches.

When Barbara and I hosted the 3-day Australia Day Prayer in Canberra this year, the Lord led me to prophecy over the ACT and Canberra delegates that the Lord wanted them to model the church in the book of Acts. I could see them meeting in house churches across the city and multiplying. Acts 15:13-19 also talks about the Tabernacle of David which raises up prayer, praise and worship, Godly justice, the government of God and Jew and Gentile worshipping together. I saw this as a blueprint that would then spread out from Canberra, the head of the nation, around Australia.

The Lord gave me these scriptures at the Australia Day Prayer we hosted in Canberra. One was Ex 20:20, where Moses said to the people, “Do not be afraid. God has come to test you, so that the fear of God will be with you” so we need not be afraid of this testing time with the coronavirus.

Rev Dr George Annadorai asked me before Hanukkah for a message for 24/7 worship and the Tabernacle of David in Singapore and this is what the Lord gave me. Blessings to Apostle George and Mano and the people of Singapore and Asia generally.
Ps Norman’s message on “Change is Gonna Come” or “Change is in the Air” is timely and will bless you. The scripture he based it on is Daniel 2:21-23:

“He controls the times and the seasons; he makes and unmakes kings; it is he who gives wisdom and understanding. He reveals things that are deep and secret; he knows what is hidden in darkness, and he himself is surrounded by light. I praise you and honour you, God of my ancestors. You have given me wisdom and strength; you have answered my prayer and shown us what to tell the king.”
