This is the story that goes with it:
We Stand Up For Israel: Indigenous Friends of Israel by Munganbana Norman Miller

The star of David is the centre of this painting just as Jerusalem is the centre of the world (Ezekiel 5:5). The star of David is also on Israel’s flag. It is surrounded by yellow ochre representing G-d’s glory and His calling for the Jewish people to be a light to the nations. The Magen David is encircled by blue and white dots representing Israel.

The dots that continue to circle it reflect the yellow and red ochres of the earth and of the sun. They also represent sunrises and sunsets. This speaks of the heavens touching the earth. The purple dots represent royalty as Jerusalem will be Messiah’s throne. The stars in the sky represent the stars of the southern cross over Australia and in its flag.

The dots also represent the Indigenous Friends of Israel as the Indigenous people of the earth surround, protect, and support her.

The dove of peace, also representing the spirit of G-d, alights over the star of David. As Psalm 85:10-11 (NLT) says: Unfailing love and truth have met together; righteousness and peace have kissed. Truth springs up from the earth, and righteousness smiles down from heaven.

May Australia shine like the stars in heaven to reflect God’s glory and His love for Israel (Daniel 12:3)

Never Again is Now. We stand against antisemitism. And never again will Israel be uprooted from the land G-d has given them. (Amos 9:11-15)

HAPPY RESURRECTION SUNDAY!
THE LORD REIGNS!
LET THE PEOPLE REJOICE!

Purim Reversal to Hamas and the Amalek Spirit by Ps Barbara Miller 23.3.24

Israel today is fighting a war for its survival just like Jewish people were threatened with annihilation during the time of Esther which we now commemorate at the Feast of Purim. Three times in history the Jewish people have been threatened with or experienced annihilation or genocide with forces starting with H (1) Haman (2) Hitler and (3) Hamas which means violence.

The Amalek spirit is behind it. Today we hear “From the River to the Sea, Palestine will be free” which does not refer to Gaza but refers to the whole of Israel, the land God promised to the descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob or Israel. It goes back to the ancient hatred and sibling rivalry of Esau towards his twin Jacob.

God pronounced judgement on the Amalekites because they attacked the weakest of the Hebrews as they crossed over from Egypt to the Promised Land. They attacked from behind the sick, elderly etc. (sounds like Oct 7)

The story of the bible book of Esther is how Haman tricked the king into signing a decree to kill all the Jews in the kingdom of Persia which was most of the known world at that time.

But God was about to do a divine reversal of Haman’s plans. It is said that if King Saul had killed King Agag when instructed to, the Amalekites would not have produced Haman with his genocidal plan against the Jews. Though Samuel killed him one day later, he was able to have a descendant.

Mordecai, a Jew, and his niece Esther were raised up by God in His plan of saving the Jews from extermination. Amazingly, Mordecai was a descendant of Kish, the Benjamite who was the father of King Saul. Prophetic justice was served.

This gives us another interesting parallel. Every year, the chapter, “Remember what Amalek did unto thee” (Deut. 25:17-19), is read in the synagogue on the Sabbath preceding Purim, and the story of Saul and Agag in 1 Samuel 15 is read as the Haftarah or reading from the prophets.

I see parallels with Netanyahu being urged not to fight in Rafah to finish off Hamas because of the great loss of civilian life & the humanitarian crisis. While Hamas must bear responsibility for using civilians as human shields, using hospitals and schools, and stealing food and aid money and the numbers are inflated, Israel is losing the support of its main ally the US.

Saul did not want to destroy the King of the Amalekites and somehow his progeny lived on to almost be successful in totally wiping out the Jews worldwide in the time of Esther. Netanyahu is saying that Israel cannot live in security because,unless they defeat Hamas, Hamas has promised many more Oct 7’s.

I believe God is declaring a divine reversal in this time of favour for His people. We know that the hatred of Jews is because they were chosen by God to bring his plan of redemption to mankind who are rebellious to God and are jealous of His chosen people.

Listen to the video to get more. Have you been called into your situation for such a time as this like Esther? Do you need to write a decree to reverse an evil decree? (Esther 8:8). Remember that prayer and fasting brought a breakthrough.

The 50:20 Window for the Harvest and Obeying God’s Will by Ps Norman Miller 30.3.24

Genesis 50:20 You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives. We are in a time of harvest. Fulfill the Great Commission
We need 3 things:
1. Adjustment to God’s will
2. Assignment – Find our assignment and fulfill it
3. Alignment with God’s will

Messiah in Micah and Messianic Prophecy by Ps Barbara Miller 16.3.24

Micah 6:8, the “Micah Mandate,” gives a balanced answer to today’s spiritual and political questions. “What does the Lord require of you? To act justly, and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.”

Comments on the Never Again is Now event Sydney 18.2.24 and Prophecy by Ps Barbara Miller 24.2.24

4 Visions from Purim 2023 and how they relate to Oct 7. (Matthew 16:17-19). Also, comment on goat governments (Matthew 25:31-40) and a vision of the word martyrdom seen on a stone monument with a stone wall behind it 23.2.24. The word “martyrdom” was then front page of “The Australian” newspaper on 26.2.24 as well as in the same paper the day before.

The article quotes speaker at rally saying Palestinian mothers were worshipped when their sons or daughters were martyred …. so how are you going to defeat us?

INDIGENOUS EMBASSY OPENED IN JERUSALEM FEB 1

This was a groundbreaking event as Indigenous people from the nations gathered in Jerusalem for the opening. As Indigenous Friends of Israel, we were not able to be there but gave our support via our logo and words of support. Spearheaded by the Indigenous Coalition for Israel which was founded by former NZ cabinet minister Hon Alfred Ngaro and NZ academic Dr Sheree Trotter, it was a great step forward in showing international Indigenous solidarity with Israel.

Australia’s wonderful prayer pioneers above. Ps Kym Farnik and Rev James Condon helped Ps Warwick and Alison Marsh hand out lifetime awards to the above recipients who are mentioned in my video message. We were blessed to be given a book about sitting at the feet of Jesus written by Noel and Barbara Bell which I share about in my video also. Get a copy and be blessed.

Honouring the Prayer Pioneers of Australia and Sitting at the Feet of Jesus by Ps Barbara Miller

Give honour where honour is due – Romans 12:10 and Romans 13:7

We have had the pleasure of being involved with the prayer journey with many of these wonderful prayer leaders since at least 1998 and we thank God for them. We thank the Lord that we were able to attend the event organised by the Canberra Declaration to honour them in Sydney 17 Feb 24.

Do listen to the wonderful messages or prophetic words from Jesus to those sitting at His feet in the UK, the USA, Switzerland and Finland when I read out a selection at the end of this message. It could change your life.

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 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.

Attending Regional Parliament is free and everyone is welcome.

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

CHANGE OF GOVERNMENT IN AUSTRALIA

Hi all. We bless you in the name of the Lord. Despite losing our Christian Prime Minister, Scott Morrison, at the recent national elections, we praise the Lord that He is in control and His ways are higher than our ways. After all, history is His story. We hope it’s not a story of God giving us what we want despite His will which is what happened when God gave Israel King Saul at their request. 1 Sam 12:13. 

There has been a recent change of government in Australia with the Australian Labor Party taking control of the House of Representatives with preference votes from the Greens. They will depend on the Green vote to pass their bills through the Senate. Both parties have antisemitic policies so we need a lot of prayer for Australia to continue to be a sheep nation. See the comment from a Jewish news service here.

KEYS TO AUSTRALIA’S DESTINY

Keys to Australia’s Destiny was launched Saturday, May 14. Jill Curry is the editor and there are 24 key leaders who have written chapters in it. Barbara’s chapter was called “The Prophetic Destiny for Australia and the Pacific” but Jill changed the title to “God’s Story – Past, Present and Future.” Norman’s chapter is “Healing the Hurts of History” where he shares about our journey of reconciliation. 

Jill says, “May 14 is a significant day for both Australia and Israel.  It was not only the day Israel was born in 1948 (on the Western calendar) but also the day that de Quiros made his proclamation in 1606 regarding the ‘Southlands of the Holy Spirit’ from Vanuatu over all the lands south to the pole. This is referred to by numerous writers in the book.  Both of these events are keys to Australia’s destiny.”

Book Launch of Decrees and Dangerous Prayers: 7 Steps We Can Use to Change Our Nation or Community
by Ps Barbara Miller 14.5.22
on Canberra Declaration Prayer Night



You can change the history of nations. You can shift atmospheres. You can command barriers to come down. Doors to open. Hopeless situations to shift. God wants you to partner with Him to establish His will. Yet, prayers of petition will sometimes not be enough. Instead, it is more powerful to decree from your position in heavenly places with Jesus Christ. To do that, you first must spend time with God and listen to His heart. Decree from the Father’s heart, not vain imagination. The print book will be available soon but the ebook is available HERE

IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO JOIN A FACEBOOK GROUP CALLED DECREES & APOSTOLIC PROPHETIC PRAYERS SO YOU CAN BE PART OF A CHRISTIAN GROUP WHO DECLARE DECREES FROM OUR POSITION OF SITTING IN HEAVENLY PLACES WITH JESUS RATHER THAN ONLY PETITIONING FROM EARTH, CLICK HERE

UKRAINE BECAME A CHRISTIAN NATION IN 988

Photos – Statue in Kensington commemorating Ukraine becoming a Christian nation in 988. It is a statue of St Volodymyr. I received the photos from Sally Rickard from CityPrayerNet in the UK.

RECONCILIATION WEEK – 27 MAY – 3 JUNE

Photo on the left – The Catholic Cathedral Cairns where Norman was the artist in 2017 for the Sea of Hands display for Reconciliation Week. He also taught the students at one of the Catholic schools a song he had written on reconciliation and they sang it together at a Reconciliation Mass at the Cathedral.

This year, St Josephs School in Cairns used the Reconciliation song Norman wrote to play when the students entered the school hall for the Reconciliation Mass. Norman was able to do an interview with our local newspaper The Cairns Post for Reconciliation Week 2022 and the removal of the Captain Cook statue to another resting place as it made way for redevelopment for James Cook University.

WORSHIP OF ORIGINAL MUSIC BY TABERNACLE OF DAVID WHICH INCLUDES THE RECONCILIATION SONG IS AVAILABLE HERE

Photo on the right – Norman outside Parliament House Canberra with a giant boomerang he made making the point that there should be no racism in the Australian constitution. He presented the boomerang to the then parliament.

55TH ANNIVERSARY OF REUNIFICATION OF JERUSALEM

May 29 is the anniversary of the Six Day War when the Arab states invaded Israel and  Israel defeated them in 6 days in a miracle. Jerusalem was reunited and Israel gained back Judea and Samaria and the Golan Heights. It is celebrated as Jerusalem Day and a march is held each year called a flag march. Hamas has called for violent demonstrations against the Jewish state and the march using the false accusation that Israel is going to tear down Al-Aqsa mosque. Clashes occurred today – https://www.ynetnews.com/article/sjeesal00c
