Also we need sponsors for Australian Indigenous delegates both for the Canberra conference and the Cairns Indigenous Friends of Israel conference 18-20 August where Ps Avi & Chaya Mizrachi from Israel will be speaking. Please pray if the Lord wants you to help.
It is about 20 years since we have asked for financial support so please be a sponsor and be blessed sharing in the spoils of war.“And who will listen to you in regard to this matter? For as is the share of him who goes down into the battle, so shall his share be who stays by the provisions and supplies; they shall share alike.” 1 Samuel 30:24.

You are in for a very interesting session with arts and media expert David Jack (above) who is one of the speakers for the Church & Cultural Challenges Conference in Canberra. He has given us a taste of what he will share in the following.
The Truth will set you free by David Jack
“In the Post Modernist age where do we find our Saviour? In Jesus or the World?
In media the power of film and TV can be a great thing but it can also beguile and deceive. So much portrayed through media the arts is set up against the church.
Those active agents fighting this influence are few but tenacious, we will explore and discuss them. What can one person do? If we are to be a light unto the nations it starts with each of us in our daily walk to reflect the characteristics of Jesus.”
Glen Sebasio on guitar and Ps Norman Miller leading worship at Lifestream church Canberra for an Australia Day prayer conference in 2019 that we hosted. In 2020, we hosted an Australia Day conference at Grace church Canberra. We have also led a Tabernacle of David workshop at Lifestream in 2018.
Norman believes the worship at the Church & Cultural Challenges conference will bring such a presence of God that people won’t want to go home afterwards but will want to stay in the presence.
He has Acts 16:25-26 on his heart:
And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners heard them. And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and every one’s bands were loosed.
Be prepared for an earthquake that will set the prisoners free. When the jailer woke up, he was going to commit suicide as he thought the prisoners had fled, but Paul led him and his family to the Lord instead. Be prepared for an awakening where people wake up from the world’s woke agenda and we have a revival!
Norman and Barbara were blessed to speak recently at the Gold Coast at a meeting of Chinese pastors and leaders from the Gold Coast and Brisbane. It was good to catch up with our friends Judy Chiem, Debbie Tien and Monica Peng there.
Correction – The Calvary Hospital pulled down the cross after the ACT government’s forced takeover, not the government. Please continue to pray that there will be a Senate Inquiry to this situation.
THE MOST AMAZING VIDEOS ON ISRAEL, PRAYER, WORSHIP, THE APOSTOLIC AND PROPHETIC AND MUCH MORE – AT YOUR FINGERTIPS!!! BE BLESSED!!!
Well Happy New Year and maybe you have made some new year resolutions or have had, as Norman would say, some new year revelation. Maybe you’ve decided to journal. If so, these journals are designed to help you. This is what one reader, Gina Wileman, said re the Sermon Notes Journal:
Usually, I collect biblical “Pearls of Wisdom” on little pieces of paper, which eventually get misplaced. Or sometimes I text messages to myself during church services, whenever the pastor’s messages resonate with personal experiences—and they’re often forgotten. But using this journal makes it much easier to keep my thoughts tucked into one place. I love how simple and easy it is to use. Plus the cover makes me smile. Love it!
Here is the link to this book – https://www.amazon.com/dp/0648472272. For those in Australia, you can order off my book website if you can’t order off amazon.
Re the Bible Study Journal, one reader, CreativeIIBY wrote Discover God’s promises by meditating on his word and pondering on questions that will guide you to become more aware of applying it into your life. This book is a great gift as well to friends or anyone you want to have deeper walk with God. I love the cover, it’s a beautiful journal and I highly recommend checking the other books as well created by the author through the link on the first few pages, this journal became a tool for me to get to know more amazing works of the author.
There is also a prayer journal. One reader, Susan Jagannath, says: Do you keep thinking that you will start your prayer journey today? Or tomorrow? I found that keeping a prayer journal is the best way to remember to pray, as well as to look back and find that your prayers have been answered in miraculous ways. The link is https://www.amazon.com/dp/0648472280. All 3 are only $6.99 US each.
Prophetic Word by Apostle Norman Miller for 2022

Prophetic Word for Malaysia for 2022
by Ps Barbara Miller
My introduction was not recorded. In praying about a New Year message, I saw a chasm between 2 large rock-like cliffs. I sensed this was a chasm between 2021 and 2022 and that there was going to be a big change. What supported you in 2021 won’t support you in 2022. Some trends of 2021 won’t continue into 2022. We don’t want to take old patterns that aren’t working into the new year. I asked the Lord if this was from Him and I asked for a scripture and I received Isaiah 43:18-19. This was the first vision.
I was praying particularly for a word for the Malaysian church and specific pastors. I saw a rock with a crevice of jewels in it. I got the words “hidden treasure” and “double doors” and the scripture of Isaiah 45:1-3 came to me. I had a prophetic word for them based on this scripture. The last part of it was about them raising up the Tabernacle of David.
There were a number of confirmations. They showed me a treasure chest of jewels they had prepared for an altar they had built for the Tabernacle of David they had decided to establish. God is good. We enjoyed a time of worship and fellowship with our Malaysian family.
BDS Boycott of Sydney Festival
As the founders of Indigenous Friends of Israel in 2015, Munganbana Norman and Barbara Miller were concerned about the BDS boycott of the Sydney Festival by Palestinian activists backed by Hamas, a terrorist organization. The reason cited is a $20,000 grant from the Israeli Embassy in Australia though it is not unusual for foreign governments to support art. Also, the Sydney Dance Company were due to perform the dance Decadancecreated by Israeli choreographer Ohad Naharin and Tel Aviv’s Batsheva Dance Company.
While over 20 performers and/or organizations pulled out, including Arab and Muslim performers, the Sydney Festival organizers did not bow to the pressure and continued. The Decadence performers received a standing ovation to a sold-out audience on the opening night on 6 Jan. The Palestinian Justice Movement Sydney claimed that Israel is a racist apartheid state.
Initially Munganbana Norman, as an Indigenous artist, wrote personally to the Indigenous artists a warm, non-challenging letter outlining the numerous ways the Jewish community in Australia have supported the Indigenous community. Unfortunately, Aboriginal senator Pat Dodson, a former Catholic priest, was patron and cultural advisor to one of these groups so we wrote him a letter too, receiving no reply though he is a friend. A minder of one performer rang Norman and told him that the artist was greatly distressed as she had been badgered by a number of phone calls from Lebanon so he would not be passing on the letter.
We were approached by an organisation in the USA who are allied with many in the entertainment and arts industry who assist performers who are boycotted for performing in Israel and had a zoom meeting with them as they wanted to put out an op ed in an Australian newspaper about the issue. They had seen an earlier press release we had done which was published in The Times of Israel.
Please check and like our Indigenous Friends of Israel Facebook page as we update it almost daily. https://www.facebook.com/likeIFI/
The ABC reported on 13 Jan that Sydney Festival chair David Kirk has apologised for the event’s handling of a funding controversy saying re the artists “They feel compromised, many of them, and many of them are being pressurised to withdraw their performances from the festival,”
The ABC reported in the same article that Israel’s Deputy Ambassador to Australia, Ron Gerstenfeld, said “agents of chaos” had been bullying artists into supporting the boycott.
“We heard a lot about people being targeted, being threatened, through social media of course but also through other means,” he said.
He said Boycott Divestment and Sanctions (BDS), the organisation behind the boycott, had run an aggressive campaign.
New Years Eve Prophetic Message to Malaysian Christians
by Apostle Norman Miller. A key scripture for 2022 is Isaiah 22:22
Fire at Old Parliament House – Press Release
By Munganbana Norman Miller 4.1.2022
Munganbana Norman Miller is concerned that a giant boomerang with “No Discrimination in the Constitution” on it that he donated to the Museum of Australian Democracy at Old Parliament House Canberra may have been damaged when the door was set on fire last Thursday. He has not been to see where it was located because he lives in Cairns. The museum is closed for repairs. He made and painted the boomerang himself.
Munganbana said, “It is disappointing that numerous heritage that was contained in the Museum has been treated with such disdain by protestors who did not have the approval of the Aboriginal Tent Embassy or the local Ngunnawal elders for the protest or the smoking ceremony which was a guise for them to undertake a criminal action of setting it on fire.”
“As we come to the 50th anniversary of the Aboriginal Tent Embassy, we respect peaceful protest and acknowledge the important contribution it has made,” said Miller. Now is the time for the Uluru Statement of Voice Treaty Truth to be established.”
“I am an Aboriginal artist and the giant boomerang I donated to the museum had on it ‘No Discrimination in the Constitution.’ It was part of a grass roots campaign I waged at my own expense by travelling around Australia collecting signatures for the removal of discrimination from the constitution and the acknowledgement of First Nations people in it,” said Munganbana.
“It was called the Miller Boomerang Petition and, on 27 November 2013, I handed the boomerang with over 360 signatures on the back, as well as a normal petition, to then Speaker Bronwyn Bishop and MPs Ken Wyatt and Warren Entsch. On 8 February 2016, I handed Warren Entsch MP and the then speaker and clerk of the house the final signatures. This is recorded in Hansard,” he said.
“I decided to donate the boomerang to the museum so it would be in a prominent place where it will be available to future generations who have an interest in our robust democracy. I hope it will stimulate discussions re changing the constitution and promoting Voice Treaty Truth. These need to come from a grassroots level up not top-down.
I have another giant boomerang with ‘Voice Treaty Truth’ on it that I made and painted. I took part in the co-design for the voice consultations in Cairns and I am also concerned we make progress re Closing the Gap to reduce the gap in socio-economic outcomes for First Nations people compared to the rest of the community,” said Munganbana.
Response to Anti-Vaxxers
I gave this message nearly a year ago – 21 Feb 2021 but it is still an issue that people are grappling with today so, as I don’t think I’ve put the link in our newsletter before, here it is.
