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
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

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.

CULTURE WARS AND THE CHURCH
The Lord has put it on our hearts to organise a conference titled Culture Wars and the Church. We’ve had a break from organising conferences after organising over 20 of them in the 26 years since we pioneered our church. However, the Lord has given us much revelation about this and called us to step back up and do it. We will be having a collaborative approach as there are other wonderful ministries in this space so please let us know if you want to be involved.
ANTI-JESUS OFFENSIVE JOKE ON CH 10’s THE PROJECT
Norman rang Ch 10 and put in a complaint about an offensive joke about Jesus made recently on Ch 10. Some Christians are asking for the program “The Project” to be axed. We won’t repeat the joke. Though the hosts of The Project, who laughed at it and let it go at the time, have since apologised, it is still available to be viewed online. The Sydney Morning Herald reported on 3.3.23,
“The Catholic Archbishop of Sydney has invited the boss of Channel Ten and panellists from its flagship current affairs program The Project to attend church at St Mary’s Cathedral, criticising the program’s lengthy apology for a joke about Jesus as disingenuous and forced.
The Project’s co-hosts Waleed Aly and Sarah Harris apologised on Wednesday after the program faced backlash for a joke made on-air by comedian Reuben Kaye on Tuesday night.”

INDIGENOUS FRIENDS OF ISRAEL ON THE ADELAIDE WRITERS FESTIVAL
PRESS RELEASE 23.2.23
Indigenous Friends of Israel (IFI) co-founders Norman and Barbara Miller said, “Adelaide Writers Festival organisers seem to think free speech reads hate speech or racist speech which is not so. In a one-sided propaganda event, the most vitriolic pro-Palestinian writers will have a platform with no opportunity for the other side to be heard. At best, this is a misuse of taxpayers’ money. At worst, it is an intellectual travesty.”
“As Indigenous Friends of Israel, we condemn the inaccurate propaganda coming from some invited speakers that Israel is a racist, apartheid colonizer state. Jews have been in the land we now call Israel since the time of Abraham, 4,000 years ago. Jerusalem was made the capital of the Jewish state 3,000 years ago by King David. Jews were conquered and removed at various times through history but a remnant has always been in Israel, renamed Palestine by the conquering Romans. Arabs conquered and colonialized Jerusalem in the relatively recent time of 636-637 AD. They came from Saudi Arabia. They are not Indigenous,” said IFI.
“When the modern state of Israel was declared in 1948, Arab nations went to war against Israel. There were a similar number of Jews as refugees from Arab nations from which they were expelled as Arab refugees from Israel who fled the war or were displaced. Jewish refugees were absorbed by Israel but the Arab nations refused to absorb Palestinian Arab refugees so they could weaponize them against Israel.
“Israeli Arabs are not treated in a racist apartheid manner as they are in the Knesset (Parliament), judiciary, police service, academia, business, and various professions. Israel is one of the most multicultural nations in the world.
“The Premier of Adelaide, Paul Malinauskas, has declared he will not attend but will not withdraw funding. The Australian newspaper reported recently the concern of Ukrainian and Jewish leaders as one speaker, Palestinian-American writer Susan Abulhawa, is a pro-Putin apologist. She said Putin is trying to “DeNazify Ukraine” and that Ukrainian President Zelensky is a ‘depraved Zionist trying to ignite World War 111’.”
“The war in Ukraine has been clearly caused by Russian aggression with Putin trying to restore the glory and territory of the former Soviet Union. The Ukrainians are valiantly defending themselves with war crimes being committed by Russia. One example is the thousands of Ukrainian children captured and taken to re-education camps in Russia. This fits the UN definition of genocide.
“Another speaker at the festival, poet Mohammed El-Kurd, has made defamatory, racist, and vile comments about Israel and Jewish people, including blood libel, that are antisemitic such as Israelis eating the organs of Palestinians or lusting after Palestinian blood. It is a wonder he and Abulhawa have been allowed into Australia considering recent discussion re Kanye (Ye) West’s visit,” said IFI, “especially when Abulhawa supports terrorism and wiping Israel off the map.”
“Festival organizer Louise Adler is staring down criticism saying she wants debate but how can there be debate when a platform is provided for only one side of a debate? There are seven Palestinian speakers and none from Israel. On top of that, with speakers like Abulhawa and El-Kurd equating Israel with Nazis, it trivializes the Holocaust and is offensive to Jewish people,” said the Millers for IFI.
“By comparison, the Sydney Festival included a dance performance created by an Israeli and sponsored by the Israeli embassy which had nothing to do with politics. However, performers were harassed and bullied by the pro-Palestinian lobby into pulling out and many did. This is not the tolerant and inclusive society Australians think we have.” IFI said.
“Australia has adopted the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) working definition of antisemitism and comments by some of the Palestinian speakers at the Adelaide Festival contravene this,” said Barbara Miller who has just written a Handbook on the Holocaust and the Australian Aboriginal Response for educators, high school students and adult education. It was published by the WE ARE HERE! Foundation.
PURIM, DECREES AND QUEEN ESTHER
By Ps Barbara Miller
As we are approaching Purim or the Feast of Esther, rather than including one of my many messages on this, I am giving you an extract from chapter 2 of a recent book of mine called Decrees and Dangerous Prayers: 7 Steps We Can Use to Change Our Nation or Community.
“We see in the story of Esther in the Bible that the Jewish people were faced with a situation of possible genocide of world Jewry. The situation could not have been more serious. The Jews had been taken into captivity in Babylon which was ruling the world at the time. When King Artaxerxes wanted a new queen, Esther was selected and she had hidden her Jewish identity on her uncle Mordecai’s instructions.
Haman was an Agagite, a people who were enemies of the Jews and descended from their traditional enemies the Amalekites. He was offended because Mordecai would not bow to him. So, he tricked the King into signing a decree that the Jews in the known world would be wiped out on a certain day and their possessions kept by their murderers. This was on Haman’s accusation that they would not bow before the King and were disloyal subjects.
Mordecai pleaded with Queen Esther to do something about it. By law, she could only approach the King if he summoned her and if she approached him without being summoned, she could be killed. But Mordecai challenged her that if she didn’t, deliverance would come from elsewhere and she and her family would lose their lives. He said who knows but maybe you came into royal position for this very purpose. Maybe this is how you will fulfill your destiny. He said, in Esther 4:14, “For if you remain silent now, then relief and deliverance will come to the Jews from another place, but you and your father’s house will perish. Who knows if you haven’t come to the kingdom for such a time as this?”
Maybe it’s time for you to fulfill your destiny or calling in God by intervening in a national or even international situation. So, Esther, a young girl, took the advice of the authority figure in her life, her uncle who had brought her up, and decided to take up the challenge at the threat of losing her life. She called a 3-day fast, presumably with prayer, of her servants and the Jewish people and then approached the King. He may have been her husband, but she was breaking the law of the land. However, she found favour with the king and he pointed his sceptre at her and asked her what she wanted and said she could have up to half his kingdom. She must have been very relieved.
She was not after possessions but the lives of her people and when she revealed the plot of Haman, the King was angry at Haman and organised for him to be hanged on the gallows he had prepared to hang Mordecai on. But the law of the kingdom was that once a decree had been made, it could not be reversed. So, the horrible reality set in. The day of slaughter would go ahead as already decreed.
But, and this is a big but, the king devised a plan. He said to Esther and Mordecai that they should write another decree in the king’s name, and seal it with his signet ring, that would reverse the effect of the first decree. This was a game-changer. So, they wrote a decree that the Jewish people could rise up against those who sought to kill them on that day. This meant that the Jewish people were able to get rid of a lot of their enemies. So, in the end, their situation was improved. When people saw the favour the Jews now had with the king, fear fell upon them and some even converted to become Jews.
I have often taught about this story because I think it has a big lesson for us today. Look at the scripture closely, Esther 8:8, “Now write another decree in the king’s name on behalf of the Jews as seems best to you, and seal it with the king’s signet ring—for no document written in the king’s name and sealed with his ring can be revoked.”
What is this saying to us? If we feel an evil decree has been made against us or our people or our nation, we can ask our King Jesus if we can write another decree that will reverse the effect of that evil decree and write it in His name and seal it with His signet ring. I believe that if we have a witness from the Holy Spirit about the decree, then that means we can seal it with the signet ring of King Jesus. How awesome is that? And it is very powerful. And exciting!
If you have situations or believe your community or nation has situations that need reversing, take heed as this is how to do it.”
(I give practical examples from our ministry and interesting examples of the decrees or edicts by Cyrus and Darius which enabled the Jews to return from their captivity in Babylon and rebuild the city and temple of Jerusalem. I also discuss evil decrees like those of Hitler. But the important part is the step by step process you can use to write decrees as the Lord leads you to turn your situation around. It is more powerful than simply asking God in prayer although He hears all prayers.) For more information see https://reconciliationandpeace.org/decrees-gift/

New Year 2023 Message: Time for Greater Intimacy with God
by Ps Barbara Miller
I had 3 visions which I cover near the end of the video. There are 3 choices.
The first vision was of rebellious people swallowed up in the belly of the whale like Jonah who tried to put a big distance between him and God. They are in the whale of the world system. They are refusing God’s call and are slowly being consumed; slowly dying. Pray they repent before it’s too late.
Others are adrift on the ocean of life, just keeping afloat, bobbing up and down in rough seas hoping someone will save them.
Others are safe on the ship of life, heading in the direction God intended for them. They need to stay there, keep intimate with God and throw a lifejacket to those in the sea to help save them.

PODCAST INTERVIEW OF BARBARA MILLER BY BETH JONES, USA CHRISTIAN AUTHOR
PRESS RELEASE RE AUSTRALIA NOT RECOGNISING WEST JERUSALEM AS THE CAPITAL OF ISRAEL
By Norman and Barbara Miller, Indigenous Friends of Israel 19.10.22
Jihadi Bob Carr has been pushing the terrorist organization Hamas’ position for some years. So now we have Penny Wong, Anthony Albanese, Tony Burke, and the ALP cabinet reversing the previous government’s decision that West Jerusalem is the capital of Israel. Who is Australia to be telling another nation where its capital is? How insulting! No wonder Hamas has congratulated Australia for the decision. See more
BOOK PRICE SLASHED FROM $29.95 TO $7ea
For October, William Cooper Gentle Warrior, a biography and history, is on sale and you can get 10 or more copies for the amazing price of $5 each – much less than what it costs to produce them. I have some special projects coming up that will make books on William Cooper in high demand so get in while you can. They will make great gifts and are good teaching tools. William Cooper started the first national Aboriginal organisation back in the 1930’s and was the father of NAIDOC (National Aborigines and Islanders Week.) He led his people on one of the few private protests worldwide against Kristallnacht, the start of the Holocaust. His legacy lives on and this book is highly acclaimed.
We have had this pulpit with a map of Australia on top of a tree stump for a long time. It was given to us by Ps Royree Jensen of Brisbane and Ps Dutch Sheets was the last person to preach on it before we received it. Norman painted it and put Uluru in the centre with a dove and 2 Chron 7:14 on it. We usually have a heart-shaped stone from the Galilee in the middle of it to symbolize Australia having a heart of flesh not a stony heart towards God. Since our congregation has been called the Tabernacle of David for many years, Norman felt led by the Lord to repaint it and put Amos 9:11 there about the rebuilding of the Tabernacle of David.
As part of our calling is to raise up the Tabernacle of David around Australia, if you are interested in this, please let us know.
HEALING THE COMMONWEALTH
At the Healing the Commonwealth prayer event on 27.6.22, prayer leaders from Britain and the Commonwealth nations joined together in a time of fresh repentance and forgiveness. Norman was asked, along with other nations, to share testimonies of past reconciliation events between Britain and Australia that we have been involved with since 1997. All continents were represented in the 27.6.22 event. Brian Pickering of the Australian Prayer Network lead the 1999 Reconciliation Tour of England by the Australian team and spoke before Norman and introduces him here. Norman and Barbara were part of that team. It was a very touching time.
Healing the Commonwealth Prayer Event 27.6.22 Message by Ps Norman Miller Australia
British-Australian Reconciliation by Ps Barbara Miller This message was delivered to our church service 25.6.22 as a lead-up to the Healing the Commonwealth prayer event on 27.6.22. As each panel member, including Norman, had only 4 mins to share, Barbara is able to give a longer account for those interested in what was an amazing series of reconciliation events that has continued to affect our ministry. We have had a number of follow-up events.
‘Blessing the Commonwealth’ 16th July Birmingham Update from World Prayer Centre
We are looking forward to our upcoming event ‘Blessing the Commonwealth’ on Saturday 16th July in Birmingham city centre! Our team led a powerful time at our recent ‘Healing the Commonwealth’ prayer event as we repented for the pain caused to Commonwealth nations and territories when Britain created the British Empire and later the Commonwealth.
We want to take proactive steps to heal the divide between territories and nations. That’s where you come in – you’ve got the power! Jesus called us to carry the gospel of peace wherever we go. And we believe in the power of prayer. This is your opportunity to pray for restoration and for salvation for Commonwealth nations. Have you got your ticket for our ‘Blessing the Commonwealth’ event?
We love that we can now connect together in-person and we urge you to join us in the room at Gas Street Church. We will have an amazing time of worship with Tim Hughes and Gas Street Music. There will be guest speakers from across the Commonwealth and of course opportunities to pray.
This July and August the Commonwealth is coming to Birmingham in the form of the Commonwealth Games, known as ‘the friendly games’. As thousands of athletes and officials arrive from the 54 nations, we want to prepare a highway of blessing and thanksgiving.
To pray for a particular Commonwealth territory or nation head to our Youtube channel to catch up with all our prayer videos from the Queen’s Baton Relay. The Baton is currently in Wales so join to pray with children from across the Welsh nation.

PRESS RELEASE RE NAIDOC By Munganbana Norman Miller 4.7.22
Munganbana will be marching again in the NAIDOC Cairns march this week. Munganbana Norman Miller said, “I will be carrying a giant boomerang I made with Voice Treaty Truth on it as I support the Uluru Statement from the Heart.”
He said, “I will also be wearing a T-shirt saying “Israel, Since 1948” commemorating the reforming of the modern state of Israel and a Holocaust pin. This is because Aboriginal Christian leader, William Cooper is the father of NAIDOC, initiating it on 28 January 1940 as an annual Aboriginal Sunday supported by the churches.
“In 1955, the date changed to the first Sunday in July and became known as National Aborigines Day. In 1957, the National Aborigines Day Observance Committee (NADOC) was formed whose goal was to promote awareness of Aboriginal people, their cultures and their plight. In 1989, the title changed to NAIDOC Week to include Torres Strait Islanders in the national celebrations. So, we owe it to William Cooper who got the ball rolling.”
When asked where the Israel connection is, Munganbana said that William Cooper led the Australian Aborigines’ League on a protest to the German Consulate in Melbourne in 1938 against the treatment of Jewish people at Kristallnacht, the start of the Holocaust.
Munganbana said, “This was remarkable because Aboriginals were not citizens of their own nation at the time and would not be till the 60s. Also, it was of the few private protests worldwide with a slow response from governments. My wife Barbara and I were privileged to be at Yad Vashem World Holocaust Remembrance Center in Israel for the honouring of William Cooper in December 2010.
“My wife has since written 3 books on him which are available at my Munganbana Reef and Rainforest Aboriginal Art Gallery in 33 Lake Street. The cover for the first book, William Coper Gentle Warrior, has a photo of William Cooper superimposed over my canvas painting, The Gathering. I am an Aboriginal artist and have had my own art gallery for over 25 years.
“I support the constitutional recognition of the Voice and will be at the Cairns Esplanade near the lagoon at 12.30 pm on Tuesday 5 July with my giant boomerang and singing a song I wrote called Reconciliation.
“At the march on Friday and at the Esplanade on Tuesday, people will be able to sign the back of the boomerang.
“I’m also writing a book called Boomerang Man because I have made a number of giant boomerangs over the years on my grassroots campaign for constitutional recognition of First Nations People which I started in 2014 and one of them is in the Museum of National Democracy in Canberra.”
For more information on Munganbana’s art see gallery
The Restoring Hope Ministry team have been in Cape York in June installing reception for GOD TV in a number of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities. They have been to Cairns, Yarrabah, Mareeba, Cooktown, Hopevale, Wujul Wujul, Bamaga, Weipa and Napranum. Some of the team will return to install God TV on islands of the Torres Straits.
This is a photo of the team which have been received with open arms – Brian Sonnerman and Greg Gannon from Geraldton, Rod Baker from NSW, David Jack and Tony and Delia Kish from Melbourne, and Donna Meehan and Lorraine Kelly from Newscastle. 55 installations have been made and it has brought great joy and comfort to the communities concerned with the systems being installed in churches and at some homes where people like to meet. Great to see the good news being spread and eagerly received and blessings to the team who went.
They have been taking the Good News to remote communities across the Top End of Australia installing God TV satellite dishes and bringing clothes, books, prayer and music to the communities. You can support this wonderful outreach by contacting – Brian – restoringhope@bigpond.com
We were blessed to pray for and send off the team in Cairns on their way to the Cape and give them prophetic words re their trip. They hope to service other communities in the future.

Decrees and Dangerous Prayers by Barbara Miller is a timely prophetic calling for intercessors and leaders. The scriptural examples are powerful and Barbara’s teaching and experience enhance the examples given in the Word. This book is a ‘must read’ to servants of God who desire to see changes in the nations.
June Volk, Author and Prophetic Speaker, Shelly and June Volk Ministries, USA
Decrees and Dangerous Prayers is a powerful inspired book. Ps Barbara Miller gives us insightful historic stories and cases when God uses Apostles like Ps Norman and Ps Barbara Miller to pray and release decrees given to them by the power of the Holy Spirit to reverse any situation and give glory to God.
