Apologies, in our Jan 2023 no 1 newsletter, also sent out today, I (Barbara) made an error in my rush. It is the previous ambassador to the USA, Danny Ayalon speaking on the zoom meeting we advertised for Jan 24 not the Israeli Ambassador to Australia, Amir Maimon. However, join in for an interesting event!
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.
What is your situation?

PRAYER FOR VICTORIAN AND US ELECTIONS ON CANBERRA DECLARATION PRAYER 5/11/22
by Ps Barbara Miller, www.reconciliationandpeace.org
I had the privilege of serving the Lord by being asked by Ps Warwick Marsh to participate in their 25.5 hour zoom prayer for the above elections after a 30-day prayer lead-up.
Message I sense we are standing at the crossroads. Elections are not just political events. They are spiritual events and we are struggling for the soul of our nation. Nations are judged as sheep and goat nations it tells us in Mat 25: 31-46. And it is on the basis of 2 things – (1) righteousness and justice and (2) how we treat Israel and the Jews. So, we need to pray that our nations of Australia, the US and the state of Victoria will choose the right path, and choose righteous and godly leaders.
Jer 6:16 Thus says the Lord: “Stand by the roads, and look, and ask for the ancient paths, where the good way is; and walk in it, and find rest for your souls. But they said, ‘We will not walk in it.’
We come against that disobedience and resistance in Jesus’ name and command it to be removed and for people to follow God’s way not the enemy’s way or get distracted.
The enemy of our souls and the soul of our nations, has blinded many, not just to steal from us our personal salvation but our nations and Victoria’s salvation. So, we pray for spiritual eyes to be opened.
2 Cor 4:4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.
We pray for deceptions to be exposed and people to awaken to the ungodliness of the woke agenda. But we are not to be discouraged as Jesus has won the battle and we need to declare it.
Col 2:14-15 having cancelled the debt ascribed to us in the decrees that stood against us. He took it away, nailing it to the cross! And having disarmed the powers and authorities, He made a public spectacle of them triumphing over them by the cross.
We need to pray that many including voters are conformed to Christ, not the world’s ways and are influence by a fear of God not a fear of man.
Ro 12:1-2 Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. 2 Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.
We pray God’s will be done in the Victorian and US elections and that our minds are renewed.
I sensed a mind control or octopus spirit over Victoria and we need to pray against it and cut its tentacles. Also, a controlling, Jezebel witchcraft spirit is operating and we need to call forth prophets with an Elijah anointing to rise up against that spirit and its false prophets as Elijah did on Mt Carmel.
Prayer The Lord showed me to pray for the soul of the nation as nations are judged not just individuals. Mat 25:31-46 so I pray for Australia & the US & specifically for Victoria that we would be a nation and state of righteousness and justice and stand with Israel and the Jews. So, Lord we pray salvation of the soul of our nation. We pray you will purify us from our sin and turn us to you wholeheartedly.
As we face these elections, we pray that all those voting will choose righteous leaders like David and not choose Sauls. As we are at the crossroads, help us to choose the ancient and godly path. Lord let us awaken to the things of you not what the world calls WOKE and may we conform to your ways not our ways.
I take authority over a spirit of intimidation and a Goliath spirit that has been making the church retreat from having its voice heard in the public square when we need to be a prophetic voice declaring Godly values. We dethrone it in Jesus’ name.
We ask that you remove the blindness from our eyes and the eyes of all those who vote so we can see the deception of the enemy and not fall for it and not fall for fake news. Help us to see things as you do and to have an Isachaar anointing to know the times and seasons and what Israel and our nations should do.
We come against the controlling spirit of Jezebel and witchcraft that has stalked our nation and particularly Victoria and we loose its grip in Jesus name. We cut off the tentacles of the spirit of mind control, the octopus spirit, never to grow back, in Jesus name and remove it from the minds of the people. We pray that there would be a fear of God not a fear of man that prevails.
We call forth prophets with an Elijah anointing to rise up against the controlling Jezebel, witchcraft spirit over Victoria and its false prophets as Elijah did on Mt Carmel. Lord raise up prophets with an Elijah anointing we pray.
We declare that Jesus has wiped out all the decrees against us by his death and resurrection and that He has made a spectacle of the enemy and paraded them through hell in a victory march just as victorious kings in ancient times paraded their prisoners through cities they conquered. We declare victory for the Lord in the Victorian and US elections!!!!
We also pray for compassion in our leaders. We pray for unity in the body of Christ or Messiah because we have divisions of left and right-wing in our midst and we know that unity commands a blessing as in Psalm 133. As the ecclesia, when we come into unity, we pray Lord that it will flow into the political sphere where divisions between left- and right-wing cause tensions. We pray a blessing on our nations of Australia and the US and our state of Victoria.
BOOK PRICE SLASHED FROM $29.95 TO $7ea
Extended for another week so don’t miss out – 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, a Christian, started the first national Aboriginal organisation back in the 1930’s and was the father of NAIDOC (National Aborigines and Islanders Week) which he started as Aboriginal Sunday. 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.
There would have been a passionate discussion as William Cooper told the Australian Aborigines’ League that the Nazis had murdered 91 Jews, smashed the windows of numerous synagogues and Jewish businesses, set synagogues ablaze, and arrested thousands of Jews who they sent to concentration camps. There would have been outrage mixed with tears. They would stand up and try to make a difference taking their protest to the German Consulate in Melbourne.
William met with Jewish organisations, churches and unions at a Council for Civil Liberties meeting beforehand and no doubt they spoke about Jewish refugees fleeing Hitler. I spoke to Eli Rabinowitz of the We Are Here Foundation in Perth today about their Kristallnacht commemoration. He said, “William Cooper is the father of bringing Jews and Christians together in Australia.”
WE COMMEMORATE KRISTALLNACHT 9-10 NOV EACH YEAR AND THE PROTEST BY COOPER AND THE LEAGUE ON 6 DEC EACH YEAR.
MIRACLE HEALING LIKE ACTS 19:12
After this, Sibaio shared that the week before the above vision in our church, her Aunt Hannah’s daughter Rosie was in the Cairns hospital. She was pregnant but there was a blood clot near the baby’s head. We had prayed for her at church and gave Sibaio a handkerchief and put anointing oil on it and prayed the scripture over it of Acts 19:12 referring to Paul “so that even handkerchiefs and aprons that had touched him were taken to the sick, and their illnesses were cured and the evil spirits left them.”
Hannah took this to Rosie and placed it on the place where she had had an operation that was bleeding. Immediately the Holy Spirit moved and the bleeding stopped, the pain went away and she was healed and was able to fly back to the Torres Strait with her and baby safe and sound. Sibaio declared it a miracle. We have seen God do this before a number of times when we have prayed on hankies and sent them to the person in need. Praise the Lord!!!

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.

We praise the Lord for His many blessings. Norman and Thomas blow the shofar before every service we have on Saturdays and Thomas with either Judy or Debbii blow the 2 silver trumpets on special occasions. The Hannukah menorah is not on this table but 2 other menorahs are, along with a conch shell, and a small ark of the covenant is behind the grapes. There is also a white crown just behind the candle holder. This table was not set up in any particular way and I couldn’t resist taking a photo with my phone as I walked past it. So much here precious to us and the Lord. There is also a 25 there which lights up. We used it to celebrate 25 years of ministry last year.
1999, Left – Australian and British teams reenacting the first fleet leaving from Britain to Australia but coming in the opposite spirit.
Right – Ps Norman and Barbara Miller walking down the 199 steps to the sea at Whitby, the home of Capt Cook who charted the east coast of Australia and claimed it for Britain.
HEALING THE COMMONWEALTH
You may remember that 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 for how the UK treated commonwealth nations. 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. Norman and Barbara were part of the team that went to England in 1999. Before that, they hosted an international conference on reconciliation in Cairns, Australia in 1998 at which Brian and the British team, led by Brian Mills, spoke. The Millers were also involved in the 2 Chron 7:14 prayer event led by Ps Ben Gray and Brian Pickering in Uluru in 1999.
An anointed follow-up event called Blessing the Commonwealth was held by the World Prayer Centre in Birmingham, England before the Commonwealth Games which is currently being held there. We could not be there but joined with Malaysian and Indonesian pastors and intercessors the same day.

Do you need to be carried by the Lord through a difficult situation? Then this video is for you. In fact, It’s two messages in one, because Ps Norman Miller goes on to talk about the theme for National Aboriginal and Islanders Week and discusses scripture in reference to it.
Left – Norman and a friend at the recent NAIDOC march in Cairns where Norman is carrying a shield he made especially honouring William Cooper, the originator of NAIDOC and the timeline of major developments in its naming and celebration. He also carried a giant boomerang supporting the Uluru statement from the heart of Voice, Treaty and Truth. If you want to know more about that, check out Barbara’s books here.
Right, 2012 – Kevin Russell and Uncle Boydie (William Cooper’s family) and Norman Miller leading a march from William Cooper’s old home in Footscray to the Melbourne CBD where the German consulate was in 1938. It was a re-enactment of the protest by William Cooper and the Australian Aborigines’ League re Kristallnacht, the start of the Holocaust. Abe Schwarz, the Melbourne Holocaust Museum and Barbara Miller organised the event. It coincided with the launch of Barbara’s book called Wiliam Cooper, Gentle Warrior.
William Cooper
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.
Fifteen years later, 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.
You can change the history of nations, 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.
In light of the tectonic shifts happening in the world today, international speaker and author Pastor Barbara Miller, an ordained prophet – believes now more than ever – the world is in dire need of more carriers of our Father’s power.
Hence, she took her decades of ministry experience and shaped them into a short, comprehensive how-to manual on writing decrees. To make sure any Christian can apply this process, she broke it down into 7 simple steps.
Before learning to write decrees, you may have felt disappointed, inadequate, ill-equipped or unsure of a way forward. After you learn to write effective decrees, you will feel on top of things, clear-headed, motivated and happy you can help to effect change. It will improve your sense of social responsibility and effectiveness.
Decrees and Dangerous Prayers will give you the motivation and steps you need to:
Pray and make daring decrees that can change the spiritual atmosphere
Make dangerous decrees and prayers that transform your city or nation
Have your faith increased as you see the results and feel empowered

STREET MUSIC AND BREAD MINISTRY – REVIVAL IS COMING
Norman has been worshipping on the Cairns Esplanade now 3 nights a week for 5 years and has seen people renew their faith, dance in the streets, pour out wine or throw away packets of cigarettes. God is impacting the city of Cairns and tourists through this ministry. Videos of him singing are being shared around the world and touching unknown lives. The bread ministry continues to bless the needy as well.
Norman is also an Aboriginal artist and is donating a large painting to Rosie’s Friends on the Street who feed the homeless. They are fundraising for a new van. His father Barclay had a great heart for the homeless and would receive calls in the middle of the night from homeless people who needed food or blankets and he would always get up and help out from his own cupboard. Norman has a similar heart so if you want to help please contact Norman on 0407128199.
WORKING WITH CATHOLIC SCHOOLS
Norman does art and culture workshops at Catholic schools where he can share scripture and pray. He recently did one for teachers at St Gerard Majella school around the campfire. He also does art workshops for children for different organisations.

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.

‘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.
