Hi Saints – Don’t Miss Out on this Amazing Conference – Church and Cultural Challenges!!
MESSAGE FROM CINDY MCGARVIE, NATIONAL DIRECTOR YOUTH FOR CHRIST RE ABOVE CONFERENCE
I’m looking forward to the conference in July! In my session, I’ll be presenting a perspective on what I see happening within our culture in regard to our children and young people — a battle for their very souls.
There is a term known as ‘the fog of war’ and it refers to the situation when a military suddenly finds itself in a battle where they have no idea of the location and capability of the enemy, nor the location and capabilities of friendlies. The solution to this is to quickly gather intelligence so that you know what to do. Intelligence reduces the ‘fog of war’—it helps to sort out the truth.
My goal is to provide some valuable intelligence for the spiritual battle that has been intensifying rapidly to equip Christian leaders and parents to fight for our children. ………. See flier below for Cindy’s photo and bio. She has also authored amazing books as well as being on the frontline of the battle for our children and youth. Books are Jesus Revolution: Real and Radical, Lost Boys: Bring Them Home, and The Next Revolution.

That God’s Voice is heard by Australians including those in power. Jesus said, “My sheep hear My voice” John 10:27. See God’s Voice Shakes the Desert by Ps Norman Miller, Psalms 29:3,4 & 8 https://youtu.be/60GJRNMzwXw
That the Judeo-Christian heritage of our nation be strengthened and influence decision-making at all levels in our nation including regarding the Voice. “Therefore, everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock.” Matthew 7:24
That the church will have the anointing of the sons of Isaachar, that is, know and discern the times and the seasons and what the church and nation should do re the Voice (“of the sons of Issachar who had understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to do, their chiefs were two hundred, and all their brethren were at their command” – 1 Chronicles 12:32). Also, that the Spirit that rested on the Lord would rest on Christians: “The Spirit of the Lord will rest on Him, The spirit of wisdom and understanding, The spirit of counsel and strength, The spirit of knowledge and the fear of the Lord.” Isaiah 11:2
That any deception regarding the Voice be exposed and any underlying plans be revealed. “See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the elemental spiritual forces of this world rather than on Christ.” Colossians 2:8 NIV
That the confusion around the Voice be cleared up with sufficient and accurate information so that people are fully informed when they vote for the Voice. “For God is not a God of confusion but of peace.” 1 Corinthians 14:33 NIV
For social cohesion and unity in Australia to be strengthened and that the debate re the Voice will not be divisive and reverse the steps we have made in Australia towards reconciliation. “If a house is divided against itself, that house cannot stand.” Mark 3:25 NIV. Also, that it will not divide First Nations people from each other and that First Nations people will be healed from the hurts of history.
That those for and against the Voice would have a robust but civil debate without intimidation and abuse and that people will not be silenced and intimidated from expressing their point of view. “Don’t be intimidated in any way by your enemies” … Philippians 1:28 NLT
That those who are campaigning for the no case will be able to put forward credible alternatives and have similar funding and opportunities to the yes campaign to do so. This would not only include how constitutional recognition of First Nations people could be achieved but also how they can be consulted in a meaningful manner and what wording should be in the referendum the nation will vote on.
For the Joint Select Committee on the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Voice Referendum to reach wise conclusions for the benefit of Australia in a non-partisan way. The coalition are greatly outnumbered on this committee so the chances of any significant change are slim. But we know “history belongs to the intercessors.”
For wisdom for the Australian people as they vote on the referendum between October and December this year. This includes First Nations people on the ground.
For wisdom of all those in positions of influence re the Voice debate – the Referendum Working Group, the Referendum Engagement Group, 1 the Constitutional Expert Group, all MPs and Senators, Premiers, Chief Ministers of the ACT and NT, state and local governments, yes and no campaigners, the media, First Nations organisations, corporations, unions, faith groups, sporting codes, First Nations sportspeople, and community organisations etc.

A MIRACLE OCCURRED AT ULURU – THE RAINBOW SERPENT AND ITS EGGS LEFT ULURU AFTER PRAYER – CAUGHT ON CAMERA
Prayer at the rock at Uluru at Ps 24:7 convocation 2005 hosted by CFIRP
Prayer with local Aboriginal woman by Ps Peter Walker and Ps John Blackett in our convocation setting which was the Tent of Promise
We travelled to the base of Uluru in July 2005 for onsite prayer as part of the Healing the People Healing the Land Ps 24:7 convocation. It was hosted by the apostle prophet team Norman and Barbara Miller and the Centre for International Reconciliation and Peace, We used two hire buses of 100 people followed by other buses from Kalgoorlie, Darwin, and Tennant Creek, and cars of people who had come to the conference.
We set out from the tourist town of Yulara to Ayers Rock or Uluru at 2 pm Saturday 23rd July 2005 for an afternoon of prayer. For many, it was their first visit to the rock but others had paved the way. There was old and young, people from the desert and people from the coast, people from the bush and people from the city, male and female, black and white but we were all one in the Lord.
We had permission to be on this land from the traditional owners and had already received a welcome to country.
On arriving at Uluru, we stopped for some prayer in preparation. Norman said seeds were going to be planted, seeds of righteousness, godly seeds, and right foundations. He read from Gen 12:2-3 about the nations being blessed through Abraham and that whoever blesses his seed will be blessed and whoever curses his seed will be cursed. He said we want to be a sheep nation and bless Israel. Also, we need to plant seeds of honoring.
He honored God and all those who have gone before us and God’s covenant people. (We were with the Australian Prayer Network who hosted the National Prayer Gathering at Uluru in 1999 and there have been others paving the way).
Norman said we need to prophetically connect or be grafted as the wild olive branches into the natural olive tree of Israel. He said he would ask Hilary Moroney, as a person of Jewish heritage, to do this. Gloria Dyer and another lady of Jewish heritage joined her in this.
Norman said that part of the vision of the conference was to see a highway opened from Uluru to Jerusalem. He said on his last visit there 18 months ago, there were some rabbis dancing with joy in the streets of Jerusalem and they drew him into the circle to dance with them.
This was so special but he also wanted to dance with Jews in his land, even the heartland of Australia. The Lord made that possible on Tuesday morning when we danced with an Israeli, Madav, at the base of Uluru and crossed a bridge together, prophetically declaring that we were opening that highway from Uluru to Jerusalem with our prayer.
Norman then read excerpts from Romans 11:11-21 about the ingrafting. He also read Mt 7:24-27 about building your house on a rock.
Barbara honored God, the Anangu people on whose land we stood, and the Jewish people. She then led prayers of covering and protection because of the spiritual warfare that was about to occur. She led people in repentance so we could come to this event with clean hands and a pure heart and would not have any chinks in our armor.
We put on the armor of Ephesians 6 and prayed for the covering of Ps 91. Barbara prayed for the covering of the precious blood of the Lord over us and all that pertained to us and that angels would fight fights for us in heavenly realms. Also that the hedge God put around Job would be around us so the darts of the enemy could not get in.
She prayed for the blessings of Deut 28:1-14 for obedience to be on us and that the Lord would help us to be obedient so that we could receive the benefits of this scripture. We prayed that we would be the head and not the tail and that the enemy who came at us in one way would flee from us in 7 ways and that no weapon formed against us would prosper.
She prayed that the Lord would confuse the airways of the enemy and bring confusion, division, and ambush on them so they would fight each other and not us and also for the awe and terror and fear of the Lord upon them. We spoke that the battle was the Lords and that He would send His angels out ahead of us.
Barbara prayed to break off spirits of revenge, backlash and retribution and to cancel all assignments of the enemy against us. This was to include our conference, the prayer at the rock, our families, our churches, our workplaces, our health and finances and all those praying for us wherever they were.
Hilary asked people to pray in tongues. She then repented on behalf of Jews and non-Jews and asked the Lord to graft us into His true olive tree. She asked that Australia would be a sheep nation and stand with Israel. She thanked God for her heritage and asked that Australians would have a heart for Indigenous people as well.
Norman generally has a theme for the year and he declared the theme for 2005 – “Alive, Thrive and Revive in 2005” and “Ministry of the Arts – Apostolically Releasing the Saints”.
Barbara had shared in a previous session on spiritual mapping that the Mutitjulu waterhole was the home of the python snake, the poisonous snake and the rainbow serpent so this was the chosen location for most of the prayer. We basically had a four-hour trip, three hours of prayer, and just less than one hour’s travel, including circling the rock before returning to Yulara.
On arriving at Mutitjulu waterhole, Norman read Mt 16:13-19 about the church being built on the rock of revelation that He is the Lord, that the gates of hell would not prevail against it and that He had given his church the keys of binding and loosing. He thanked God for the loosing He was going to do in this place.
There was concert prayer ie a lot of people praying at the same time. Norman then asked the Lord to loose the 7 seals and to let His glory loose in this place. He read Rev 5:1-10. Only the Lion of the tribe of Judah (Jesus the lamb that was slain) is worthy to open the seals.
There was the sound of shofars and shouts and the roar of the lion of the tribe of Judah. The strategy of roaring like the Lion of the tribe of Judah was a strategy the Lord showed Barbara in Cairns and then led Barbara and Norman to use with effect to help bring breakthrough in Malaysia and Thailand at Bangkok Breakthrough conference. Muslims and Buddhists had loudspeakers blaring but Christian churches around the world are quiet.
Norman declared that the Lion of the tribe of Judah is not going to be intimidated by that ancient serpent. The Ancient of Days will have His way. He then read from Rev 20:1-3 about an angel from heaven seizing the dragon, the ancient serpent, the devil and then he was bound for 1,000 years. Norman then asked for another roar from the Bethany Gate and some more roaring went up with the sound of the shofar. There was a flag with the lion and the Star of David on it which Bruce Poulsen held. There were many other flags as well.
Norman and Barbara turning the key over the nation at the convocation. Ps George Annadorai, a speaker, holding the microphone
Brendon Cook, an Aboriginal leader from Tom Price, Pilbara WA claimed the rock back in the name of Jesus. He had boomerangs in his hand as he declared that the rock was the Lord’s. “I, Brendon Cook, son of the Most High God, claim this land back for Him in Jesus name”. God reigns.
Barbara had done a session at the conference on spiritual mapping and now prayed re the central creation story to this location which was the python woman or kuniya who became greatly enraged and sought revenge on the Liru or poisonous snake men (Aboriginal tribes identified with another part of creation) who had killed her nephew.
Kuniya did a powerful magic dance and then killed the Liru warrior who dropped his shield. In the process of her dance, she had stirred up the dust and poisoned some plants, particularly the spearwood bush. After some repentance and prayer by Aboriginal elders, Barbara took authority over these spirits of anger, revenge, witchcraft, murder, and death in Jesus name and prayed in the opposite spirits of blessing, joy, peace, love, life, and the Holy Spirit. Aboriginal elders and others prayed in unison.
She prayed that the Lord would remove the poison from the land, plants and waterhole. Norman later put some eucalyptus leaves in the water and prayed healing over them.
Barbara asked Aboriginal women to come forward as it is a birthing site and some women from the Northern Territory prayed in their language. An Aboriginal woman from Perth, Gloria Dyer, prayed to break the curse of barrenness off the land and into all territories.
“Father into all territories, I pray for an arrow to go from this place into the darkness and from Israel into this place. With the revelation of the blessing of the mothers of the land through the Holy Spirit, I break off the curse of barrenness over the land and release the men and women, and children of the land. “
Katie Hagen, an Aboriginal woman from Brisbane said,
“I call on the wind from the north the south the east, and the west to breathe in this place and the dead shall live. This is the day the Lord has made and we rejoice in it. I have given you the former rain and the latter rain. I have given you abundant rain. It shall rain. It shall rain. I have given you rain this day. We ask that the wind of the breath of the spirit of God will take the blessings to the 4 corners of the earth from this place. What you’ve declared to us is for all eternity.”
One of the men said this is a new birth of this nation.
Barbara agreed and said you can see in the formation of the rock that this is a birthing place and that is why we are here. She said the Lord had given her a vision of a white statue rising out of Uluru, the bride of Christ, and the words:
“Out of the ancient womb comes the 21st century church.” She said “I declare that all things that are not of God that have been birthed in this place are cut off in the name of Jesus and that any false covenants, false creation or false birthings are cut off in Jesus name. We cancel it out and nail it to the cross of Calvary.
We pray sterility over it, miscarriage over it and abortion over it in Jesus name. Sterility. It will not be able to come to full term. But we speak life to it to birth things that are of God. We speak life to it and draw forth that life from it.
This is a beautiful place. You’ve created it to remind us of You, not any other god so we speak here this day that this land be a monument to You and not to any other god from this day forward. It will birth the children of God. The earth itself cries out to Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians to come out and come forth into the kingdom of God. So, we open up a well of salvation in this place. Pour out rivers of healing waters from this place.
From this day forth salvation will come forth from this place. This very earth, this very waterhole, this very rock is calling out to the people to come into the kingdom of God so we open up the wells of salvation. Pour out rivers of salvation from this place. We declare that healing rivers will pour forth from this place. We speak that the children of this nation of all ages will come into the kingdom.
The earth and the Holy Spirit call you into Jesus’ arms. I prophesy a huge revival across this nation! We break off the tomb over the womb in Jesus’ name. We break off a spirit of death over this place in Jesus’ name and we say that what You wanted from the beginning will come forth in this place. We speak that a nation can be born again in a day.
We declare that from this day forward, this will be a place of pilgrimage where people will meet with You just as people make pilgrimages to Jerusalem and Lourdes. This will be a place of pilgrimage because they will know they will meet You here. People will come to this water to be healed just as they went to the Pool of Siloam to be healed. We speak that the mountains and the trees and every living thing including human beings will sing praises to God. This will be a place of praise. “
One of the women prayed that the pastors speak to this rock for rivers of living water to pour forth. Another woman read Isaiah 26:1-2 – a song will be sung in the land of Judah, open the gates that righteousness may enter. Then v 14-15 – “they are now dead, they live no more; those departed spirits do not rise. You punished them and brought them to ruin and you wiped out all memory of them. You have enlarged the nation O Lord“
Norman read Isaiah 9:6-7 and prayed that the government of Australia would be upon the shoulders of Jesus and that there would be godly alignment of government structures. He prayed that the government would align itself with godly authority; that the government would have God’s heart, godly order, and ways.
Shirley Miller, Norman’s mother, said she remembered a song about ‘whither pilgrims are you going.” She said with joy we draw water from the wells of salvation.
Barbara asked for Aboriginal men to pray. Ps Peter Walker from Sydney spoke of John 4 the Samaritan woman at the well and the mountains worshipped on. He suggested that it was time to not worship as in the traditions of the past but to worship God in spirit and truth. He also spoke of the broken cisterns of Jeremiah’s time.
He said the Hebrew word of water is maim and the name of the rainbow serpent or water serpent in Aboriginal is Miamba. He said the woman who followed Paul in Phillipi had a spirit of divination or python spirit. He said rather than scattering let someone lead and we all focus on the one point.
So Barbara asked people to pray in tongues and to pray in concert as she prayed. She spoke to the python spirit and said,
“Your time has come! You are no longer welcome in this place! Your time has come! This is no longer your domain! We command you right now to come out of this waterhole in Jesus’ name! Leave this waterhole in Jesus’ name! Spirit of divination, leave this waterhole in Jesus’ name.
You’ll not drink from this waterhole any longer! This place will not support or nourish you any longer! We speak that this place will not receive you but will reject you! That the land itself will vomit you out! Push you out! It will not want you because you make it poisonous, barren, and lifeless.
We break off all restrictions associated with the python spirit in Jesus’ name and we cut off that spirit that would squeeze the life out of Christians in the name of Jesus.”
As Barbara continued to pray in this vein for some time, the people were singing “Oh the Blood of Jesus”, blowing the shofar, or praying. We were all of one accord. It was as if we’d all come to take this place back for the Lord and we meant business. There was much prayer.
Norman said this same spirit is a world ruler. In 1998 at Jerusalem, he had repented on behalf of Indigenous people and other Australians for the promotion of the rainbow serpent. He had also led a small prayer delegation on Sydney Harbor Bridge to take authority over the rainbow serpent in February 2001 after it had been flashed over the Bridge with the New Year’s Eve fireworks.
He had read Isaiah 27. He asked the people assembled at Uluru to repent for exporting the rainbow serpent overseas and taking financial advantage of it in Australia through merchandising. Non-indigenous people have to repent as well. We need to take responsibility and accountability. Those assembled did so.
Barbara said that before continuing with the rainbow serpent, if they could finish the python spirit. She wanted to pray in the opposite to fill the void. She said Gloria had broken off the curse of barrenness. As we’ve now broken off the restrictions and squeezing the life out of the python spirit so we need to pray in expansion. Someone can pray the Jabez prayer.
Barbara read Isaiah 54:1-4. “Sing O barren woman, you who never bore a child, burst into song, shout for joy, you who were never in labor; because more are the children of the desolate woman than of her who has a husband says the Lord. Enlarge the place of your tent, stretch your tent curtains wide, do not hold back; lengthen your cords, strengthen your stakes. For you will spread out to the right and to the left your descendants will dispossess nations and settle in their desolate cities. Do not be afraid you will not suffer shame. Do not fear disgrace, you will not be humiliated. You will forget the shame of your youth and remember no more the reproach of your widowhood”.
Barbara said, “This (Is 54:1-4) is a word from the Lord for the nation of Australia:
“God is going to enlarge the church in this nation. Where the church has been desolate, God is going to bring expansion. This is corporate. This is what God’s doing, not you or me. God is doing this through those assembled here. God is going to enlarge the place of your tent. When you go home, tell your pastors to build a bigger church. We’re gong to have spiritual children in place of the barrenness.”
Norman declared a church without walls and Barbara agreed – a church without walls, expanding into the community. Some churches in Australia are shrinking e.g., Catholic and Anglican. But God is going to bring expansion to His kingdom in Australia. There’s going to be revival.
Barbara then read from Isaiah 66:7-9. Can a country be born in a day? Yes! Can Australia be born again in a day? Yes!! Those gathered declared this. “Do I bring to the moment of birth and not give delivery?’ says the Lord. No!! Barbara declared, “There’s a delivery going on here. There’s a birthing going on here. God’s redemptive plans and purposes for Australia are being born here. “
Barbara Jennings said she saw a birthing canal and water and blood.
Ps Peter Dunn said the Lord had been speaking to other intercessors who weren’t here but who had been listening to the Lord in support of this program. Issues in our history are the treatment of Aborigines, prisoners rebelling against authority, the treatment of migrants, the Eureka Stockade etc. There is a connection between these things and what comes through a spirit of Baal.
He said the Afghan camel riders rode the land speaking the Qu’ran and Islam into the land and particularly into the waters. They called their religion a religion of submission, not of submission to the Lord but a conquering spirit. It’s a militant spirit.
Gloria Dyer aid the Lord showed her Baal worship here about 3 years ago.
Barbara said she fully agreed but was checking to see what Peter had in mind to do because if it was short, we could do it now but if it needed some time to do it properly, it would be good to finish the rainbow serpent prayer off because that was the present flow, and then come back to the Baal/Islam prayer.
Norman likened the Afghan/Muslim claim on Australia and intermarriage to Aborigines to the Gibeonite deception of Joshua and mentioned the rainbow serpent’s use of alcohol to control his people. Norman said that as gatekeepers and watchmen we had allowed things into the garden and God speaks against irresponsible watchmen. (We had wanted to deal with this Islam/Afghan issue at some time during the conference so it is good that it happened at the rock. We sensed before Uluru that it would be like a Mt Carmel confrontation.)
Peter said it was short so Barbara said for Peter to lead us now and he said he believed what was required to deal with Baal was a Joshua strategy of a 7 fold victory shout of saying the Lion of the tribe of Judah 7 times with increasing intensity. We did this and ended with more roars, shofar blowing, and shouts of victory.
Norman said this was part of the 7 shifts we’ve been doing. He then completed leading the prayer re the rainbow serpent. He read Isaiah 27.1:
“In that day, the Lord will punish with His sword, His fierce, great and powerful sword, Leviathan the gliding serpent, Leviathan the coiling serpent; He will slay the monster of the sea.” He said “I read this here in your presence today. God is going to slay this reptile of the sea.”
Norman said to pray that the tourism industry would not feed that thing. He asked if there was a tourist operator who could stand in the gap to repent. Geoffrey Stokes, an Aboriginal pastor from Kalgoorlie stood in the gap for tourist operators re the use of the rainbow serpent.
Norman asked people to blow their shofars and he did as well. Singing broke out. Barbara prayed. Norman prayed to crush the serpent and its eggs in the name of Jesus and he asked us to prophetically stamp our feet and crush its eggs. He said “No more hatching. No more hatching. We march along as the army of the living God with the serpent under our feet. We crush your head and we break your back in Jesus’ name. Let the roar go forth!” There were roars and more shofar blowing and flag waving.
Joye Alit led us in a song “And I will serve no foreign gods.”
Barbara declared,
“We speak that no longer will the people of the land call out to the rainbow serpent, Wanampi, for water as they have traditionally done in this place but to You O Lord for the natural and the living water. We declare that the people will see that the rainbow serpent has lost his power and we speak that they will no longer invoke his name.”
Muriel Jencke and Ruth Webb were holding a banner “Elohim Bara” declaring God the Creator.
During his session at the convocation, Ps Vuniani Nakauyaca, our speaker from Fiji, had prepared, with the Aboriginal leaders, some water that had been cleansed with salt, anointed with oil, been used to wash the feet of non-Indigenous leaders, and then mixed with the red earth of the land. It had then been blessed and prayed over and the land was dedicated to the Lord.
This was now to be used to cleanse and heal the Mutitjulu waterhole. He said:
“It is an honour for me to be here, especially after we have been through the process today of cleaning it up. We’ve done confession and cleansing. This is a wellspring. You know the spiritual significance of the place. It is time to make a declaration. Prophetically you speak what you want for your tribe or nation as you scoop up the soil and water with your hands and put it in the waterhole eg the end to tribal fighting etc. This place will be no longer sacred as it was but sacred to the Lord and everyone who comes here will be impacted and touched, including tourists. I’m sensing something opening up already. God is rejoicing already.”
He asked Ps Carl Musch to pray first. He said the first thing Jesus asked us to do was to repent, to change our thinking. The rock was the centre of the nation.
As the people, one by one, took the soil and water in their hands and cast it into the waterhole with their prayers, Gloria knelt before Brendon and said that she gave him back his shield that our women knocked from his hand. She asked forgiveness for Aboriginal women taking spiritual authority from the men and prophetically gave it back and asked God to raise him and them as mighty warriors for Him.
This was important in that it came in the opposite spirit of a story of the place where the python woman knocked his shield from the hands of a Liru or poisonous snake man and killed him in revenge because her nephew had been killed in revenge earlier by his tribe.
Muriel Jenke had given Norman some white stones in Thailand at the Bangkok Breakthrough conference, which he took to Uluru. The stones were thrown prophetically to the north, south, east, and west, 3 for the tribes and 3 with the scriptures in each direction. The white stones were calling new life to the tribes and the coloured stones declared the word of God.
Brendon Cook threw the last six stones together into the water. Five formed a cross with one stone further out as a Joshua stone. The cross was last year raised prophetically across the nation before the 24/7 convocation in Canberra by the Bendigo intercessors.
Roger Wall, one of the intercessors from our Tabernacle of David church in Cairns had a piece of coal that came from Wales and was given to our church by intercessors Gail and Rowland, believing to sow some seeds of the Welsh revival. He threw it into the Mutitjulu waterhole and prayed for revival over Australia and beyond, knowing that this was a birthing place.
The most amazing thing happened as we left the rock (Uluru). Veronica Coutts from Palm Island took a photograph of Uluru on her digital camera and it showed a snake with its head cut off (cut in two) and it was rising up from the bottom to the top of the rock and leaving with its eggs. John Andrews also captured it on their camera. The Lord had His way.
Witches had been trying to infiltrate and thwart our conference all week but they left after the prayer at Uluru showing that they could no longer draw power from the rock. We had witches stalking our worship team and we had to remove a few women dancing like snakes during worship.
We urge you to pray to continue to hold the territory taken as we know that witches from around the world come to Uluru and try to activate the powers of darkness. However, Dianne Taylor believes what happened is unstoppable and relates it to a prophecy of Dr Ian Pelser some years ago:
“As I watched it formed into the head of a spear and the shaft attached to it were the evangelists, pastors, and teachers. The head of the spear was the apostles and prophets that needed to meet and to gain strength in the truth that this really was what God was calling them for in this end-time work. Then as this was accepted it became the spearhead… and as the word went out and they became accepted and working in their positions the shaft became attached to the spear and itbecame ‘what was thrust into the earth, piercing the hearts of men in holy conviction unto salvation and the harvest became “unstoppable’.”
There are some conference videos available and a video of the prayer at Uluru is available:
What on earth could a caterpillar have to do with politics or worship or – wait for it- the Voice?
Dream
On the night of 24 March, I had a strange dream about a caterpillar-like creature that was light blue and see-through and maybe 2ft long and very light that would occasionally somersault and moved around a lot. I couldn’t see any legs. It was kind of floating just above the ground. I say caterpillar because it had a curvy body like waves up and down.
There was an old white woman on my right and somehow her head got attached (sewn on with needle and thread) to both ends of the caterpillar. I don’t know if she was decapitated as I didn’t see her after this happened but there was no blood and her head was shrunk to fit the size of the caterpillar. It seemed to move from left to right even though it had 2 heads.
There was a woman on the other side of the caterpillar whom I could not see but she said she owned it and called it a train, “That’s my train.”
I don’t usually remember dreams but this image is staying with me still many days later. My husband Norman woke me up at one point because I was making a noise. I said I’m OK I’m praying against something. I went straight back to sleep and don’t remember anything about it but I don’t think it was the same dream as the caterpillar. When I woke up in the morning, I remembered the caterpillar dream and all I was getting was that it was a hybrid – part insect part human – not good.
Norman came up with the words train wreck, miscarriage, and two-faced. Also, the caterpillar in the Bible that destroys crops, finances etc. And also, that caterpillars transform into butterflies.
Cartoon re train
I was surprised when I was researching a photo to go with my article about the Voice that I found one (and used it) about a train with Voice written on it that was coming around a corner very fast and about to run over Opposition Leader Peter Dutton who was on the rail track. Someone was calling to him to “train coming!” So, is this caterpillar symbolic of the Voice?
Caterpillar Dreaming
Well, as you might imagine, I was reluctant to share this with anyone. However, I did share it with one trusted intercessor and her husband and she said the two women in the dream could be witches. She asked me if there was anything in Aboriginal culture about caterpillars. I immediately said yes, there is a caterpillar dreaming in the Northern Territory.
So, I searched for it on the internet and found that the story is actually around Alice Springs. Interesting considering all the problems that have made headlines recently there re youth crime, alcohol abuse, and family violence. See “Prayer Points for Alice Springs and All Communities Affected by Similar Issues” https://reconciliationandpeace.org/2023/02/reconciliation-newz-buzz-feb-2023-no-2/ and “God’s Voice Shakes the Desert” prophetic word and message by Ps Norman Miller 29.1.23 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=60GJRNMzwXw
But there was much more. I came across an article about the caterpillar dreaming that said it was the story of three caterpillars and one of them was greenish blue. These caterpillars turn into the hawk moth.. It is a creation story where the caterpillars form the land around Alice Springs. They are decapitated and form the MacDonnell ranges.
The last sentence was very interesting because it quoted a renowned elder of the area, Wenten Rabuntja, whom I knew of when he chaired the Central Land Council, using the word train.
This seemed to be a lot of coincidences – a blue caterpillar, a decapitation and a train.
Emily Gap signboard from Innerscribe website
Yipirinya means caterpillar in Arrernte and the region was created by giant caterpillars. Their creation story begins at Anthwerrke (Emily Gap), just east of Alice Springs in the East McDonnell Ranges. They then travelled west towards Alice Springs creating the topographical features along the way. The story goes:
“But after leaving Ntyarlkarle Tyaneme, they came upon the ilperenye (green beetle men) at Ntaripe (Heavitree Gap). There a great battle took place, with the caterpillars defeated and many beheaded, their bodies now forming parts of the McDonnell Ranges, joined head to tail as travelling caterpillars are seen to do, their decapitations creating the spectacular gorges that cut through the ranges.”
The writers emphasise the inclusiveness of the story,
“Indeed, the Arrernte see this inclusiveness as intrinsic to the Caterpillar Dreaming. The story emphasises that the caterpillars converged on Alice Springs from all directions – north, south, east and west. Mparntwe (Alice Springs) is “everybody’s four corners” a meeting place – where people from all over (indigenous and non-indigenous alike) are “all mixed up together” – a place in which everyone can belong, a melting pot in which all work together in community. As one Arrernte elder expressed it so eloquently:
We got to be like the two train-lines. That train, he cannot run on just one line.” (Wenten Rubuntja)
If you have followed the journey of constitutional recognition, you will know that it has morphed (changed slowly) and then undergone a metamorphosis or transformed significantly over the years just as a caterpillar transforms radically into a butterfly or moth. However, this is seen especially since the meeting at Uluru where it changed from recognition in, and removal of racism from, the constitution to Voice Treaty Truth. It was a seismic shift that all state and territories are moving to implement, not just the federal government.
Blue Caterpillar makes its way into the media
The blue caterpillar or hornworm is also in the Alice in Wonderland story using a hookah to smoke tobacco. He tells her to eat the mushroom so she can magically change her size.
Norman said that he thought there was a usurping spirit behind the Voice. I said yes, I agree, and amazingly, the blue caterpillar in Alice in Wonderland is called Absolem (a similar name for the usurping spirit, Absalom.) https://tvovermind.com/caterpillar-alice-in-wonderland/
I researched the hawk moth and found there is a cartoon where the blue caterpillar uses the strong feelings of people to magically turn them into evil humans in exchange for helping them reach their goals.
Okay, these are all stories -a dreamtime story, a movie and a cartoon. But is there anything else here? Magic is still practiced in central Australia according to Aboriginal pastors.
Trains and songlines
Our church hosted a conference in Parliament House Canberra in 2004, the head of the nation and then in Uluru the heart of the nation in 2005. At a visit to the Institute of Aboriginal and Torrres Strait Islander Studies (AIATSIS) in Canberra around this time, I was told there is a songline from AIATSIS to Uluru and shown the spot as it was marked. At that time, I was not used to carrying a mobile phone and so I didn’t take a photo and I can’t find a photo now. However, there are prominent projects re songlines and one of them is about a train. There is an Aboriginal song about it as it traverses their country as songlines do. Their website says:
“The Nyamal train song is known as a Japi song, a public song that was composed by Pilbara stockman Mangkayipirti or Larry Brown. It tells of the sights and sounds of the train’s journey through Nyamal country.” https://aiatsis.gov.au/explore/singing-train
AIATSIS explains that, “Ancient songlines criss-cross the continent and link people, places, and practice. By singing the songlines, Elders evoke the ancient stories of Country.” https://aiatsis.gov.au/explore/marlaloo-songline
There is a big effort in Australia to reactivate the songlines which are worldwide:
“Songlines or Song line in Australia refers to the Earth’s subtle energy currents – known as ley lines in UK, snake lines in India, Dragon lines in China – also related to the Hartmann and Curries lines known well in Germany, geomancy and feng shui.” https://www.spiritsafaris.com/songlines/
Two heads or two-faced
Occasionally we have two heads in nature e.g. in snakes and turtles. It’s generally interpreted as a lack of responsibility and accountability because of undefined authority or boundaries and leads to confusion. I can see this in the Voice and I can see the two heads are the ALP represented by Prime Minister Albanese and the Referendum Working Group.
Interestingly, a “two-headed woman” is a traditional African American term used to describe women gifted with access to the spirit world as well as to the material world.
Wesley’s Revelation 9:19 Bible Commentary
Revelation 9:19 “The power of the horses was in their mouths and in their tails; for their tails were like snakes, having heads with which they inflict injury.” NIV)
This commentary says,
“Their riders fight retreating as well as advancing: so that their rear is as terrible as their front.
For their tails are like serpents, having heads — Not like the tails of serpents only. They may be fitly compared to the amphisbena, a kind of serpent, which has a short tail, not unlike a head from which it throws out its poison as if it had two heads.” https://www.godtube.com/bible/revelation/9-19
The amphisbena is an ant-eating serpent from Greek mythology which had two heads.
But what about two-faced? The Cambridge dictionary says, “Someone who is two-faced is not sincere, saying unpleasant things about you to other people while seeming to be pleasant when they are with you.”
If we apply the above to the Voice, there is the potential for deceit, characteristic of the serpent, the potential to be destructive and hurt, and the potential to be insincere and mislead.
Train wreck and miscarriage of justice
One news commentator has since called the proposed referendum on the Voice a train wreck. Is it justice for less than 4% of the population to override or hold to ransom over 96% of the population? As Prime Minister Albanese said, it would be a brave government that would reject the advice of the Voice. (The Australian 3.8.22)
False worship?
Obviously, I was not going to release this without much prayer about it. After all, I have been a supporter of Indigenous rights for 50 years, often at the coalface. But it is the Lord’s Voice that must hold pre-eminence over other voices. I need to be prepared to sacrifice friendships and my good name and my pet theories if that’s what the Lord calls for. So, the rubber hits the road.
As I prayed for confirmation that my dream was from the Lord rather than one that was not relevant, I felt the scripture of Leviticus 14:12 was highlighted to me.
“Then the priest is to take one of the male lambs and offer it as a guilt offering, along with the log of oil; he shall wave them before the LORD as a wave offering.”
I then got 2 Corinthians 5:18-20:
“All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting people’s sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation. We are therefore Christ’s ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ’s behalf: Be reconciled to God.”
Reconciliation May Go Backward Rather Than Forward
Briefly, there have been huge strides towards reconciliation between First Nations and others in our nation. The Voice is liable to take us backwards rather than forwards as it is a divisive process.
Not only that, it has the potential to be very divisive for First Nations people with each other. When the National Native Title Act 1993 came in, many First Nations people saw it as a step forward but it has created huge divisions with Aboriginal groups fighting each other for many years over who has native title to various areas all around Australia.
Politics of Atonement
So, what do we have here? The place for making things right is primarily between us and God but we also need to make it right with those we’ve wronged. Matthew 5:23-24:
“Therefore, if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother or sister has something against you, leave your gift there in front of the altar. First go and be reconciled to them; then come and offer your gift.”
For those who are trying to make things right with our First Nations or Indigenous people, this is a worthy endeavour. However, if we are not guided by God in how to do it, can we make mistakes? Yes, we can.
I prayed that if the Voice is a guilt offering to make things right and reconcile further with First Nations people, what are we offering or laying down or sacrificing and what is the altar on which we are offering it?
Is it equality of citizenship? Is it our desire to have a society free of racism and discrimination? Is it democracy? Is it our Judeo-Christian heritage? Are we opening the door of parliament and government for an Aboriginal earth religion? And is it the altar of woke or the altar of race?
Is the ancient serpent trying to further take over our government? Let’s face it, the serpent has already made plenty of inroads. Our constitution and government are based on Judeo-Christian values and these are increasingly being challenged.
What is power-sharing like in a democracy? The doctrine of the separation of powers divides the institutions of government into three branches: legislative, executive, and judicial: the legislature makes the laws; the executive puts the laws into operation; and the judiciary interprets the laws.
If someone or something really wanted to undermine our democracy, how would they do it? Why of course, add a fourth arm just as powerful as the three existing pillars – the Voice with the power to be consulted early by the legislature (parliament) and the executive (ministers and public service) on most matters.
If the Voice is not satisfied that it has been consulted properly or heard with effect, it can challenge the matter in the high court (the judiciary). It will have the constitutional right to do so if the referendum later this year is successful. This is not a modest proposal as Albanese says, but a radical one.
Is there a connection between Uluru and the Caterpillar Dreaming?
The recognition of First Nations people in the constitution has been a long process and I have covered it in my book Secrets and Lies (www.barbara-miller-books.com).
The Uluru Statement from the Heart which has led us to where we are today was made symbolically at Uluru, the heart of the nation on the 50th anniversary of the 1967 referendum which enabled First Nations people to be counted in the census and for the federal government to legislate regarding them.
Did the location of Uluru make a difference? Why did I see a caterpillar if the caterpillar story has no connection to Uluru? What are the dreamtime stories around Uluru?
Norman and I and our Centre for International Reconciliation and Peace hosted a conference at Uluru in 2005 at which First Nations and other Christians came from all over Australia. We were welcomed by traditional owner Bob Randall who spoke at our conference and sang his famous song for us Brown Skin Baby.
Well, we certainly stirred up the witches. Firstly, we had a call from Pastor Noel Mann that there was a group in Brisbane who put a huge advertisement in The Courier Mail maintaining that they were hosting our conference and inviting people to attend a preliminary meeting in Brisbane. We quickly flew to Brisbane and confronted them at the meeting. We also watched the registrations coming in to make sure we didn’t register them.
While we were at Uluru, we had witches stalking the rooms of our worship team. We had hired the Tent of Promise tent and at the conference itself, we had uninvited women dancing like snakes during the worship who had to be removed. It was a full-on battle. After we prayed and took authority over opposing spirits at the base of Uluru, it all stopped so they were probably drawing their power from there. Fortunately, it was an amazingly successful conference and we haven’t had that type of direct confrontation again.
Prayer at the base of Uluru at our 2005 conference – Healing the Land, Healing the People
We went to the base of the rock Uluru and had an amazing time of worship and prayer with many Aboriginal elders and non-Indigenous prayer warriors. As we went to board our buses back to where we were staying, two people took photos of the rock and both reported that night that on their cameras were photos of the rainbow serpent and its eggs leaving the rock. They had not seen it in the natural.
The Lord had been at work! Unfortunately, because of its sacred nature, new agers, the occult, and the local Aboriginal people reinvoke the ancient spirits of the land. So, while amazing ground was taken in the spirit, it is not easy to maintain it.
I studied the local stories before we went to Uluru and spoke about them in a spiritual mapping session at our conference. The creation story of the Anangu people of Uluru is all about snakes.
“There lived two tribes of ancestral spirits. Invited to a grand dinner, they did not show up because they were distracted by the Sleepy Lizard Women. The hosts, in anger, sang evil into the mud sculpture, which thereupon came to life. Then began a massive battle, which resulted in deaths of leaders of both tribes. Due to the amount of bloodshed, and remorse felt by the Earth itself, it rose in grief, becoming Uluru.” https://oursonglines.com/blog/uluru-dreamtime
The rainbow serpent is seen as the main creator spirit in Aboriginal Australia, its creative stories belonging to many tribes. Wanampi is the Anangu Pitjantjatjara word meaning rainbow serpent and they are believed to be dangerous creatures guarding waterholes. Anne Axelby, Flinders University, says in Wanampi: Rainbow Serpent of the Desert that:
“It is said that Wanampi assumes the form of a rainbow when offended. In its rainbow state, the Wanampi is revered by Anangu, but the Wanampi can kill intruders by taking their spirit.”
Conclusion
There does not appear to be any significant relationship between the caterpillar dreaming and the dreamtime stories of Uluru. It is likely to be a coincidence that there are 3 caterpillars at Alice Springs and 3 snakes at Uluru – python, Liru the venomous snake, and Wanampi, the rainbow serpent. However, I think we need to keep in mind the role of the snake in Genesis and the role of the serpent in Revelation. We may think these are just stories but there are spiritual realities behind them.
The Lord has been putting on my heart the words enchantment and bewitched. The church and other faith leaders have come out publicly in support of the Voice:
“The Catholic, Uniting and Anglican churches, the Australian National Council of Imams and the Executive Council of Australian Jewry on Friday will join Australian Sikhs, Buddhists, Hindus and the National Council of Churches at Barangaroo in Sydney to endorse the Uluru Statement from the Heart.” Catholic Archbishop of Melbourne Peter Comensoli told The Oz: “I am personally moved by the deep yearning expressed in the Statement from the Heart, and I am so encouraged that faith leaders have offered a response from the heart of their own spiritual traditions.” https://www.theaustralian.com.au/the-oz/news/aussie-religious-leaders-call-for-an-indigenous-voice-to-parliament/news-story/0f440d4098b87120ef33593ed121ae65
I was led to the verse:
“You foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you? Before your very eyes Jesus Christ was clearly portrayed as crucified.” (Galations 3:1 NIV)
I think it’s important that I note that I respect Aboriginal culture and I think that other Australians should also. Nevertheless, we need to discern the difference between respecting it and making an idol of it.
I am reminded that many years ago, an Aboriginal priest from Yarrabah said to me, tapping his chest, “I’m a culture man but the church expects me to give up Aboriginal culture.”
This was a dilemma for him, feeling torn between the two. I said, “It doesn’t matter whether you are black or white, you need to give up those parts of your culture that don’t line up with the word of God and keep those parts that do.”
I gave some examples – loving money more than God, making an idol of sport, or of achieving fame or anything that we give higher allegiance to than God or would offend God. He gave a sigh of relief, saying that he didn’t realise that white people had to examine and give up parts of their culture too.
I do want to also call out syncretism within the church, a matter I will come back to.
The gates of hell which Jesus referred to in Matthew was a physical place. It was located in Caesarea Philippi in northern Israel. Yet many theologians agree it was a reference to a spiritual reality as well. The current culture war against the church shows the truth of this statement.
While in prayer, I saw a vision of the gates of hell opening and flies pouring forth from it – demonic entities. I also saw a vision of the mythical Pandora’s Box being opened and demons had flown out of it, unleashed for the end times. I was aware that illnesses were released from Pandora’s Box in the myth but after this vision, I found a website that said evil spirits were released. This seemed like a confirmation.
The Greek myth goes that Pandora was given a box of special gifts from the gods and told not to open it but because of her curiosity, she did. “She opened the box and all the illnesses and hardships that gods had hidden in the box started coming out. Pandora was scared, because she saw all the evil spirits coming out and tried to close the box as fast as possible, closing Hope inside.” 1
The Wuhan lab in China has been called Pandora’s Box by a number of commentators. It is believed by some scientists that a leak from that lab unleashed Covid 19 which killed 6 million people worldwide, caused havoc with our lives, and resulted in democracies becoming more authoritarian.
These visions came about in a recent time of prayer during WorldPride which Sydney was hosting and Purim, the feast of Esther in the Bible. The Lord impressed on me that the same spirit was behind climate change and LGBTIQ. It was Pan, the ancient god of nature and sexuality.
When I first started praying, I kept getting the word Baphomet. I pressed in further and the Lord reminded me of Pan. I wondered if there was some relationship between Baphomet and Pan seeing the Lord gave me both.
Later, doing some research I found that Pan was also known as the high-level Egyptian goat god called Mendes and can be found today in the form of the horned goat god of the Knights Templars and other occult groups like the Church of Satan – Baphomet. The Egyptian city of Khemmo (City of Pan or Panopolis) was dedicated to Pan. He was often depicted with an erect goat-like phallus. 2
Caesarea Philippi – the Gates of Hell or Hades
The Lord reminded me of our visit to Caesarea Philippi in 2017 when we led an international team of 50 people on tour of Israel. We saw the cave of Pan and the gates of hell. This cave got this name because of Baal worship there and also as it was believed that Baal (the ruler of the underworld) would enter and leave the underworld through places where water came out. A spring came out of the cave in the past before an earthquake.

Even today, a nearby stream feeds into the Jordan River. 3
Jesus took His disciples there to reveal who He was and to announce He was going to build a church. He asked them, “Who do you say that I am?” Peter had a revelation that Jesus was the long-awaited Messiah and Son of God and Jesus told Him that He had received that revelation from God, not from his own understanding.
He then said he would give Peter and the church the keys to heaven of binding and loosing, a powerful prayer strategy. Mt 16:15-19:
“But what about you?” he asked. “Who do you say I am?”
Simon Peter answered, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.”
Jesus replied, “Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah, for this was not revealed to you by flesh and blood, but by my Father in heaven. And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it. I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.”
Until I visited this site, I didn’t know that Jesus was talking about a physical place as well as a spiritual place. This was a cave into which sacrifices had been made to Pan and it was a place of pagan worship. It was the literal gates of hell.
But Jesus made a very important statement here that the gates of hell would not prevail against the church and we can use this as an assurance when things get difficult that we the church will be victorious and we are not to run from challenges but confront them with confidence.
So how did this place, which is today called Banias, because there isn’t a P in Arabic, get to be such a dark place and who was Pan? In Old Testament times, the NE of Israel became a centre for Baal worship.
In 926 BC, the Israelite king Jeroboam in the city of Dan nearby built a high place to the golden calf leading the Israelites to worship false gods. He also built an altar to the golden calf in Bethel. This was to prevent the 10 northern tribes going to Jerusalem to worship after Israel split into northern and southern kingdoms.
Later in the Hellenistic period, 323-31 BC, the worship of Baal was replaced with worship of Greek fertility gods like Pan. The Greeks named the city Panias in Pan’s honor.
It was the largest centre of pagan worship in the world and people came here from all over the world to worship Pan and get favour from this fertility god for their children, crops, business etc. They even sacrificed live babies by throwing them into the water of the cave.
To entice the return of their god, Pan each year, (as he returned to the cave during winter), the people of Panias engaged in human sacrifice, the sacrifice of goats, prostitution, and sexual acts between humans and goats. Their sacrifices were thrown into this abyss or chasm. 4
In 197 BC, Antiochus III overthrew the Egyptians at Panias. Following this, Antiochus IV persecuted the Jews leading to the Maccabean Revolt against the Greco-Syrians. The Greco- Syrians had even desecrated the temple in Jerusalem with an altar to Zeus. The cleansing of the temple and freedom to worship is now celebrated at Hanukkah.
Having earlier conquered Judea, the Romans declared Herod the Great “King of the Jews” around 40 BC. He received Panias from Caesar Augustus in 20 BC and constructed a temple there of white marble in honor of Caesar.
Eighteen years later, Herod’s son Philip inherited the site and named it Caesarea Philippi after himself, and to distinguish it from Caesarea Maritima on the seaside.
There were a number of temples which were in ruins when we visited – the Temple of Augustus over the mouth of the cave, the Court of Pan, the Temple of Zeus, and the Dancing Goats upper and lower temples.
Jews would not come here because it was a pagan Gentile area. However, Jesus chose to take His disciples here towards the end of his time on earth to reveal who He was, the Messiah, the Son of God. He was virtually commissioning Peter and His disciples to the huge calling of building the church in the very places that were most morally corrupt and diabolically opposed to Jesus’ work.
It is interesting also that Jesus chose the backdrop of this city which sits at the foot of Mount Hermon and is adjacent to a large cliff called the ‘Rock of the Gods’ because of the many shrines built against it or into it. He declared that Peter was the rock and upon that rock He would build His church. Jesus is also our rock.
There would be more than one interpretation of this but Jesus is saying that it is on the revelation that He is the Son of God, the Messiah, that His church would be built and it would withstand any challenge.
Jesus didn’t want His followers to avoid or hide from these hellish places and values. He wanted them to break down the defences of the gates of hell. In those days, gates were defences as well as entry points. There are places that are physical and spiritual portals and bastions of certain ungodly viewpoints. I wondered if there has been recent occult calling forth of the old gods at this place.
Jesus or Yeshua told His disciples not to be ashamed of the gospel or fear offending others. This challenge is also for us today in this age of political correctness. You can find out more about this place in this short video. 5
Could this ancient spirit attack us today?
The Lord had shown me this spirit coming against Scott Morrison, then Prime Minister, when we were preparing for our Australia Day prayer in Canberra in January 2020. It is an earth spirit and sexual spirit which plays pan pipes, is shrill and intimidating, causing fear and panic.
There has been catastrophizing over Covid 19 and currently re climate change. This spirit intimidates those who disagree with it. For more on the Covid 19 pan(demic) see my article. 6
This is an excerpt from my report on the Australia Day Prayer conference we hosted in Canberra:
“That night (25.1.2020), I shared an earlier vision I had of PM Scott Morrison in a game of cricket against the ALP and Greens and they were not happy he won (federal elections) and pulled back on climate change and their opposition to religious freedom.
However, with bushfires and drought, their confidence came back and they were attacking him on climate change, even hitting him with a cricket bat and bowling underarm.
As I shared my message, I had a cricket bat and ball with me and decreed that Scott Morrison would not be hit with the bat of climate change or receive an underarm bowl.
As I saw a demon vomiting green matter during that vision, I prayed re the spirit behind this climate change attack on the PM and the Lord showed me Pan, a nature god, half man half goat, a form of Satan.
The Lord reminded me that Norman and I took a Christian tour group of 50 from many nations to pray at Pan’s grotto and Pan’s temples as part of a tour of Israel in 2017. Pan was known to cause panic which is where that word came from. He was lecherous and his stentorious voice could cause fear and death. This is why we have a panic re climate change.
In Mt 16:17-19, Jesus says that the gates of hell would not prevail against the church … Later after the fall of Jerusalem in AD 70, the Romans, who also worshipped Pan, took captured Jews there and cruelly killed them in games.
This is not to say that climate change is not an issue and we need good policies to deal with it but the panic mode button has been pressed and it is used for political manipulation. I made decrees regarding climate change and Pan.” 7
In preparation for our Canberra event, I looked up Scott Morrison and cricket on the internet and found that in November 2019, there had indeed been some verbal bashing of Scott Morrison over a tweet re cricket and climate change
“Scott Morrison has weathered backlash over a tweet saying the Australian cricket team will give fire-impacted communities and firefighters ‘something to cheer about’.
… He sent the tweet out with a photo of him at a training session on Wednesday at the Gabba in Brisbane ahead of their Test match against Pakistan.”8
On 20 November 2019, Troy Simpson e.g., tweeted, “The link to bushfires you’re looking for is climate change, not cricket.” This seemed to be a confirmation of my vision.
Strategies and Visions
I asked the Lord for His strategy to deal with Pan and I believe He said:
(1) to declare and decree what Jesus said about the gates of hell not prevailing against the church Mat 16. More information on how to make decrees can be found in my book Decrees and Dangerous Prayers: 7 Steps on How to Change Your Nation or Community. 9
I also asked the Lord if we can ask the angels to put the demons back in Pandora’s Box and close it. Is there a set time for them to be released before the Lord deals with them?
(2) In response, I had vision of a seal (like wax) being put around the Wuhan lab so no more demons could be released from there. I can still see it. It was like the whole of the front of the building was covered in thick pale yellowish wax. I think this was done by angels.
Later, my husband Norman looked for scriptures re wax and seals in the Bible and found Rev 5:1 where wax is used to seal the seven seals on the scroll.
Rev 5:1 And I saw in the right hand of him who was seated on the high seat, a book with writing inside it and on the back, shut with seven stamps of wax. (BBE or Bible in Basic English) 10
And I saw in the right hand of Him who sat on the throne a scroll written inside and on the back, sealed with seven seals. (NKJV)
I asked if a lid could be put over the cave entrance at Caesarea Philippi and then I saw angels put a lid on the gateway to hell there.
I had a fleeting vision of angels with a basket and it reminded me of the angels with a basket in Zech 5:5. I looked it up later and there was a woman called wickedness in the basket and the angels pushed her back in and put a heavy lid on it. They then took the basket with her in it to Babylon. I think this is a confirmation for me of the angels putting a lid on the gateway to hell at Caesarea Philippi.
I asked the Lord again if this was the strategy to deal with this Pan spirit? That is, pray for the angels to seal the Wuhan lab and put a lid over the gateway to hell at Caesarea Philippi? I wasn’t sure if the angels had done this while I prayed or if we still needed to pray they would do it.
I was concerned that if the Lord had caused or allowed the release in these two places, should we be praying for a seal or lid to prevent more being released and can we pray for what was released to be forced back to where it came from before these places were stopped up?
(4) I sensed the Lord gave me the prayer of Abraham to save Sodom and Gomorrah (if 50 or even 10 righteous could be found there) from the destruction the Lord planned for their evil. In other words, yes you can intercede even though the Lord has planned destruction. Of course, we need to be guided by Him how to pray as we don’t want to pray against God’s will.
(5) Conference called Culture Wars and the Church
I sensed from the Lord another strategy to have a conference called Culture Wars and the Church and to invite speakers from ministries with similar visions and concerns.
Just as an interesting aside, the popular children’s story about Peter Pan, a mischievous boy who could fly and didn’t want to grow up has similarities to the god Pan and amazingly has Peter as his Christian name.
So, what is the culture war against the church all about?
As a working definition, I would say that culture wars are opposing worldviews and values which are competing for our hearts and minds, clashing in the process. The teachings of Jesus are being increasingly challenged.
Where Christianity has been an important foundation for our way of life as a nation in Australia and much of the western world, there have been challenges from secularism, humanism, atheism, and pantheism etc. so serious as to erode the respect Christianity and Christians once had.
Pantheism is defined as, “the doctrine that the universe conceived of as a whole is God and, conversely, that there is no God but the combined substance, forces, and laws that are manifested in the existing universe.” 11
Immigration has brought with it multiculturalism and multifaith. Sexual abuse and other sins by clergy have eroded people’s faith in the church.
Cultural Marxism is a version of Marxism that no longer just promotes class war but also race war, sex war, and gender war. The long march of cultural Marxism through the institutions of Australian society is so advanced that it occupies these institutions.
One example is of white boys being shamed in class for being white male “privileged.” It is a very divisive identity politics that has come up with the concept of intersectionality.
The dictionary defines intersectionality as, “the complex, cumulative way in which the effects of multiple forms of discrimination (such as racism, sexism, and classism) combine, overlap, or intersect especially in the experiences of marginalized individuals or groups. 12
In other words, if you are a black female working-class lesbian or trans person, you are in the most oppressed category. This disregards human agency and other life circumstances. It also flies in the face of our identity in Christ and tears apart our cohesion as a society, bringing division.
Vision of Our Society Being Ripped Apart
I had a vision in another prayer time of a piece of paper being ripped in half and I sensed this is a picture of how our society is being ripped apart by identity politics. I will end with one of my favourite verses in the Bible:
“There is neither Jew nor Greek (race, ethnicity), there is neither bond nor free (class), there is neither male nor female (gender): for you are all one in Christ Jesus.” (Gal 3:28)
have some additional prayer points for those interested. It is at the end of my video message on the same topic.

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.

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/

Prayer Points for Alice Springs and All Communities Affected by Similar Issues 2.2.23 By Pastors Norman and Barbara Miller
As we have been requested by a number of people to develop prayer points for the crisis in Alice Springs which is also being experienced in northern Queensland and the north of Western Australia as well as other parts of the Northern Territory, we have provided the following. We have developed these prayer points in our own prayer time and also after many phone conversations with Indigenous and other Christian leaders who live in or have worked in Alice Springs. This list may seem too much but just pick out one or two as the Lord leads you or just pray as led by the Lord.
Prayer for Practical Issues
Healing for Indigenous and non-indigenous people traumatised by physical violence, break-ins to homes, businesses, and cars.
For improvement in the town camps – that there would be nurturing responsible relationships instead of dysfunctional families, domestic violence, child abuse and neglect, alcohol abuse, violence, and crime. Pray in the opposite and positive.
That children and youth will have food to eat and sleep regular hours in safe homes with parents who know and care where they are.
For the cycle of intergenerational poverty to be broken, that families can find meaningful ways to spend their time either with paid or unpaid work and/or recreational pursuits. For employment opportunities to be increased and people mentored in income generation activities.
For recreational activities for children and youth in town camps and Alice so they don’t get bored and destructive.
That children and youth will have a purpose for their lives, and dreams of a future for themselves, and the motivation and self-confidence to achieve them.
That parents and other elders will earn and receive respect from the younger generation.
That the children and youth would re-engage with their schooling and get help to catch up what they have missed out on and that adult education services would be more accessible.
For the government to provide more housing and infrastructure, especially in the town camps.
For local decision-makers including Aboriginal organisations (Tangentyere Council, Central Australian Aboriginal Congress, and others), Alice Springs Council, government departments, community organisations etc. to make wise decisions and come up with workable strategies. For all consultations to include Indigenous people, organisations, and communities and to be empowering for them.
For Teen Challenge to be set up again and for the government-funded drop-in centre to operate again with a night patrol of Aboriginal elders.
For finances (already allocated and new) to assist Alice Springs and region to be used strategically to bring a breakthrough in this situation.
Prayer for Spiritual Issues
For the 20m cross that has been erected on Memory Mountain near Haasts Bluff nearby the Aboriginal communities of Ikuntji and Papunya to bring revival. It was a vision of the Aboriginal people of Ikuntji that Ken Duncan helped raise the money for. It will be lit up at a special event on Good Friday 2023. The Lord may even call you to go there However, this is a great opportunity to pray for spiritual renewal and revival. (For more information, see https://www.abc.net.au/news/2022-10-22/haasts-bluff-cross-monument-central-australia-ken-duncan/101528352)
That the local churches in Alice Springs will come together in unity and pray together and that they would be prepared to engage with youth on the streets at night. That Indigenous Christians would be supported to outreach more and pray for Indigenous Ps Sherry Lowah’s congregation as they do outreach.
That children and youth who disrupt church services or steal from them will get saved and repentance and revival will fall on Alice Springs and other affected communities.
Pray against a spirit of fear enveloping Alice Springs and region, affecting Indigenous and non-indigenous people, and for their safety.
Pray against a spirit of addiction, boredom, and hopelessness.
Pray against a spirit of lawlessness and anarchy.
That the youth, children, and adults will have a sense of right and wrong.
That the media would report accurately on the situation and not inflame the situation by calling concerned citizens “white supremacists” and that the troubles will not increase any racism that already exists from either side.
That God’s peace would reign over the region.
That Indigenous Christians would honour those parts of their culture that line up with God’s word and let go of those aspects of their culture that don’t and have the wisdom and discernment of God to know the difference. That non-indigenous Christians would do the same.
That just as God covered Adam and Eve’s shame with His glory, He would cover the shame of Aboriginal people with His glory. This is because “shame” is a word Aboriginal people often use to express how they feel.
Some Aboriginal people have felt invisible because their plight is not seen and their cries are not heard. We break off the legacy of the doctrine of terra nullius that said that the land we now know as Australia was uninhabited. If what happens in Alice Springs was happening in Sydney, e.g., action would have been taken a long time ago.

Barbara was pleased to speak briefly at the Southern Cross Alliance for Israel (SCAFI) zoom meeting just before the International Holocaust Remembrance Day to launch the Handbook on the Holocaust (below). The main speakers at the SCAFI event were the former Israel ambassador to the US and Eli Rabinowitz from the WAH! Foundation.
UN International Holocaust Remembrance Day
The WE ARE HERE! Foundation is proud to announce three new education initiatives in response to the UN International Holocaust Remembrance Day’s pledge to broaden educational programs. These three active education programs promote human rights and social justice through the principle of being an Upstander. These are:
1. IN MY POCKET Project on the Kindertransport and displaced people, suitable for 9 to 12 year olds, in collaboration with educators in Germany and Scotland. The project has been further developed for this age group for WA Museum Boola Bardip and other organisations in Australia. These consist of Book Readings with Art & Craft Workshops.
2. Holocaust Teachers’ Resources and Year 10 Holocaust History Curriculum Resources by Dr Bill Allen, retired Senior Lecturer in Education Dr Bill Allen’s new and comprehensive resources are for Year 10 teachers to use to teach the Holocaust component of the in-depth study of World War 2.
3. Handbook – The Holocaust and The Australian and Australian Aboriginal Responses by Barbara Miller This handbook is a resource for educators and teachers and for upper secondary students and adult education programs in Australia and internationally. The handbook focuses on Australia’s response to the events leading up to and during the Holocaust, and in particular the specific responses of Aboriginal political and social activist William Cooper and fellow members of the AAL. This online handbook is free.
WAH! Foundation chose Aboriginal William Cooper as their ambassador, a fine example of the compassion of an Upstander. He was a prominent activist who set out against the odds to protest the plight of the Jews in Nazi Germany, culminating in the tragedy of Kristalnacht in 1938.
Success is not always achieved overnight. William Cooper marched to the Melbourne German Consulate on 6 December 1938 to present his petition in support of Germany’s Jews. His petition was not accepted. This deed was only fully recognised by the German government in 2017.
“Some say that William Cooper only performed one act of solidarity in protesting to the Germans’ cruel treatment of the Jews. However, I sense that he has become more than a Christian Aboriginal upstander. He has become a symbol of the bond between Jews and Aborigines which was formed through his protest and which has deepened with the commemoration of his actions.” Barbara Miller, biographer.
These online resources are offered free of charge to educators and students, as long as the source is credited. To arrange your copy, or for more information, email: elirab@iinet.net.au
