RECONCILIATION NEWZ BUZZ April 2023 no 1 Newsletter of Centre for International Reconciliation and Peace

This is an early newsletter as there is so much happening and we want to be timely. Just sample the content that interests you because we know there is so much out there. Enjoy!

The Christian mayor of the Gold Coast, Australia invites us to the Jerusalem Prayer Breakfast this July. Norman and Barbara participated at the first Jerusalem Prayer Breakfast at Old Parliament House in Canberra some years ago now. You will be blessed by attending. The Jerusalem Prayer Breakfast works in with the Knesset, Israel’s parliament, and meets with the leaders of the nations and Christians and Jews all around the world. We were blessed to have one of their key people, Albert Veksler, speak at one of our Tabernacle of David Asia Pacific Prayer meetings we hosted.

The Voice and Constitutional Recognition of First Nations People: For and Against Arguments

by Barbara Miller 23.3.23

A historic vote has just taken place (Wednesday night 22.3.23) to pass the Referendum (Machinery Provisions) Amendment Bill in both houses of federal parliament. Opposition leader, Peter Dutton, gave Coalition support after securing some amendments in relation to the referendum on the Voice that will be held between October and December this year. 

Whereas governments in the past had funded both the yes and no campaigns for referendums, the Albanese government had been planning to only fund an information campaign that would in essence be pro-voice and were seeking to censor misinformation, which people took to mean, no campaign arguments. They were also only granting tax-deductible gift recipient (DGR) status to the yes campaign. This was discriminatory. That mostly changed this week.

While Dutton was not able to secure funding for a no campaign, representations from the coalition have meant that the government will only be able to fund a neutral civics and education program so that any public funding on activities considered partisan can be legally challenged. Also, the no campaign can now benefit from DGR status.

There have been divisions with the referendum working group the government set up to advise it. These were over whether to include advice to executive government (public service and ministers) as well as parliament. When the Attorney General and Solicitor General raised concerns that including advice to executive government with the referendum working group, they were rejected. While the Solicitor Generals advice has not, and should be, made public, it appears the recommendation was to include “ministers of the crown” and not the public service.

Right up to the last minute, it looked like the Albanese government would end up in a big fight with the referendum working group over the final wording of what would be put to the public in the referendum. However, it was the Prime Minister (PM) himself who had added “executive government” into the wording for the Voice referendum he gave at the Garma Festival. So, despite the possible legal minefield and possible bogging down of government, the PM has agreed to their advice. As the PM has said in the past, it would be a brave government that did not take the advice of the Voice even if it is not a veto.

After cabinet approval, the PM (Albo as he is called) met with some of the 21 members of the Voice for a press conference on 23.3.23 to confirm the wording that would be put to the Australian public on referendum day. The consensus was nearly not there in time but the deadline was Thursday as there would be a final vote in parliament next week on the wording when a constitutional alteration bill will be put to parliament.

Albo was a bit teary as he is staking his political career on the referendum’s success as it will be a big part of his legacy. Albo’s draft amendment was, the Voice “may make representations to parliament and the executive government on matters relating to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples.”

The final wording the referendum working group put to cabinet who agreed to it is, “A proposed law: To alter the constitution to recognize the First Peoples of Australia by establishing an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Voice. Do you approve this proposed alteration?”

First Indigenous Voice to Parliament in SA 26.3.23

South Australia has become the first jurisdiction in the country to set up an Indigenous Voice to Parliament. A special Sunday sitting of SA Parliament passed the bill creating the Voice, which has been assented to by the governor in a ceremonial meeting of the state’s executive council. 

Addressing the Lower House, Premier Peter Malinauskas described the legislation as “momentous” for the state’s Indigenous people.
“It has been a long time coming but First Nations voices will now be heard in the state of South Australia,” he said.

Representatives for the South Australian Voice will be elected in coming months, with the mechanism expected to be running by the end of the year.

SPEAKING ABOUT VOICE, WHO WON AUSTRALIAN IDOL?

by Barbara Miller

I’ve not been watching Australian Idol but I had to watch tonight (26.3.23) because Royston Sagigi-Baira from Mapoon Aboriginal community north of Weipa in north Queensland is one of the finalists. I remember listening to him singing at a concert in Mapoon in 2018. The people loved to hear him sing and the community are watching eagerly tonight on zoom or similar. 

The reason Norman and I were there and the reason for the concert was the Paanja Festival which commemorated the resurrection of Mapoon from the ashes after it had been burnt down by the Qld government and the people removed by police in 1963. I helped them move back in 1974 and wrote a book about it in 2018 called  White Woman Black Heart: Journey Home to Old Mapoon, A Memoir. I took the book to Mapoon to give to the leaders of the move back and their families and to the Aboriginal council. 

Mapoon is a wonderful community that does not have the problems with crime, alcohol or domestic violence that plague some communities and the young people love to go fishing and crabbing and go bush. I think part of the reason was the struggle to rebuild from nothing and the strength of the people. They have recently built a new church there because even that had been burnt down by the government and for many years they worshipped at the rebuilt school. I am so glad I helped make it possible for them to move back.

Well, to much tears and joy, Royston won, and his community, and much of Australia, celebrate with him. He grew up singing in the church and at school in the small beachside and bush community of 300. 

His childhood pastor and lifelong friend James Hughes says he is not surprised Royston has made it this far in the competition because he always saw his star potential.

“I first met Royston when he was just six years old and I moved to Mapoon as the pastor,” James says.

“Even then Royston’s voice was just beautiful …”

Not surprising that during worship Anita saw Jesus on His throne touch the top of her head and smile at her. This was an awesome experience.

Culture War Against the Church conference
Canberra 29-31 July 2023

If you would like to partner with us in the Culture War Against the Church conference the Lord has put on our hearts to host or if you would like to regularly intercede for it, please let us know. We are meeting with a group of intercessors from 3 April at 7pm AEST fortnightly to pray for the conference. The Lord has put on our heart to produce a 21-day prayer guide also for you to use in your own time.

Jesus or Yeshua was right when He prophecied and declared that the gates of hell would not prevail against the church because Caesarea Philippi where He said it is in ruins and its temples are in disuse. The gospel of Jesus has expanded worldwide.

However, this is no time for complacency. I saw a vision of a crab in a pot of water and the temperature slowly increased until it was boiled and dead. I don’t know if this happens in real life but it is a warning to us because things can change imperceptibly for the worse and one day we turn around and wonder how it happened.

Messiah in Isaiah: Songs of the Suffering Servant
by Ps Barbara Miller
The traditional Jewish understanding of this scripture is discussed as well as the Christian understanding. 

Mat 8:16-17 “When evening came, many who were demon-possessed were brought to him (Jesus or Yeshua), and he drove out the spirits with a word and healed all the sick. This was to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet Isaiah: ‘He took up our infirmities and bore our diseases’.” Isaiah 53:4

TREATY MEETINGS HELD AROUND QLD

Norman and Barbara attended a meeting in Cairns on 20.3.23 which was the first of the Qld government’s consultations re a treaty with its Indigenous people. Barbara will write a report on it soon.

The Queensland Legislative Assembly will meet at the Cairns Convention Centre for the sixth regional sitting of the Queensland Parliament from Tuesday 9 to Thursday 11 May 2023 where it is expected to make a big announcement re its treaty and truth-telling process. It is not doing the Voice first but treaty and truth-telling first.

Attending Regional Parliament is free and everyone is welcome.

RECONCILIATION NEWZ BUZZ Jan 2023 no 2

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.

  1. 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.
  2. Others are adrift on the ocean of life, just keeping afloat, bobbing up and down in rough seas hoping someone will save them.
  3. 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?

Reviews – Decrees and Dangerous Prayers

Decrees and Dangerous Prayers by Barbara Miller is a timely prophetic calling for intercessors and leaders. The scriptural examples are powerful and Barbara’s teaching and experience enhance the examples given in the Word. This book is a ‘must read’ to servants of God who desire to see changes in the nations.

June Volk, Author and Prophetic Speaker, Shelly and June Volk Ministries, USA

Decrees and Dangerous Prayers is a powerful inspired book. Ps Barbara Miller gives us insightful historic stories and cases when God uses Apostles like Ps Norman and Ps Barbara Miller to pray and release decrees given to them by the power of the Holy Spirit to reverse any situation and give glory to God.

Lilian Schmid, Coordinator, Prayer Strategy for the Spheres of Influence, Australia

DECREES & DANGEROUS PRAYERS are dangerous weapons in the hands of the righteous ones, who know how to wield these potent weapons where and when needed, causing permanent changes in the spiritual landscapes – first in the heavenlies above and then in the nations below. The Millers @ Ps. Norman & Barbara are masters at this and this is their version of the “Art Of War” for the end – times.

Dr. George Annadorai, Singapore 

DECREES AND DANGEROUS PRAYERS is a powerful and much-needed book for this time. This is a scriptural book full of examples and testimonies that impacts the world around us and personally. This very important teaching needs to be read by every believer in Yeshua.

Chaya Mizrachi, Dugit Center, Tel Aviv ISRAEL

Decrees and Dangerous Prayers book is an extremely beneficial and life-changing book that provides seven concrete steps to change our nation or community. It provides why we should write and declare a decree and who in the bible declared a decree and the circumstances they used them for, as well as the outcome of using a decree. These biblical examples show the reader the power and effectiveness of using decrees in our prayer life. The author, Barbara Miller, emphasizes the importance of seeking the Lord for writing decrees because it is a partnership relationship. Miller, also provides the different types of decrees, samples of them with scriptures, and useful tips to write a decree, so the reader can learn how to write them effectively and apply them to their prayer life, and to change their nation or community. 

Marina Maria, Global Gospel Worship Radio, USA

Declaring Holy Spirit-inspired decrees that are based on Scripture keeps our focus positively on God and His promises rather than the negative circumstances we may see with our natural eyes. As a gifted researcher, teacher and prophet, Barbara invites us ‘to partner with God to shift the spiritual atmosphere over your city or nation and feel more empowered to deal with situations around you.’ She shares her experience of praying in this prophetic way and most helpfully, shows us how to write our own decrees.  This is a higher level of prayer than most of us are familiar with and this book is a valuable tool to take the body of Christ to a new level of using our authority in Christ to see breakthroughs in our families, cities and nation.

Jill Curry, Jewish and Israel Prayer Focus, Australia

RECONCILIATON PROJECT WITH BIG BOOMERANG


Free Worship and Prophetic Word by Ps Norman Miller Tabernacle of David Cairns


Ps Barbara Miller also had a vision – I saw shifting sands and I sensed it was the Middle East. Then I saw the Australian desert and more shifting sands and then tumbleweed being blown along by the wind. I then saw a whirlwind. Then the vision changed to the Pool of Bethesda where the angel was stirring the water for healing as in John 5:4. I sensed that a change is coming and it fitted in with the word that Norman brought.

Let the Lord transport you to heavenly places with I Exalt Thee sung by Tabernacle of David Cairns. Use it in your prayer time and be touched by the Lord.

SHOFAR, MENORAHS & 2 SILVER TRUMPETS

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.

Praying for Revival in Borneo & Releasing Healing from the Commonwealth over Malaysia by Pastors Norman & Barbara Miller. The Millers were invited to  join Malaysian and Indonesian Christians and lead a session 16.7.22. Norman is Aboriginal Australian but has some Malay heritage.

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.

Carried by the Lord and NAIDOC by Ps Norman Miller

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.

Enlarge Expand Stretch Your Tent Pegs and Sing With Joy Isa 54 by Barbara Miller. 
The message also covers Isa 53 and salvation and Isa 55.
decrees dangerous prayers book promo

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.

Reconciliation Newz Buzz Nov 2021 no 2

Left – Ps Barbara & Norman Miller with Ps Howard & Randi Bass, Be’er Sheva Israel on the eve of the centenary of the Light horse charge of Oct 31 1917. Ps Howard’s message – We praise God with you for His faithfulness towards you and the Centre for International Reconciliation & Peace over these 25 years, and we trust that as you follow the Good Shepherd’s lead, He will find you faithfully doing what He has put into your hands until He returns.  Through the blood of Yeshua’s/Jesus’ cross, we are united in God’s reconciliation and peace.

Right – Ps George Fattal, Sydney speaking at one of our conferences in Parliament House Canberra. Ps George’s message – Congratulations beautiful people of God, the Lord has been faithful as this is His ministry, may the Lord continue to enrich your lives and ministry for His Glory, and yes for sure it will be an honour to join and celebrate with you this amazing milestone. (Ps George was able to join us on our 25th birthday zoom celebration and bless us more.)

Left – Ps Jenny Hagger, Founder, Australian House of Prayer for All Nations, Adelaide. Ps Jenny says – We are honoured at Australian House of Prayer for All Nations to have the opportunity of sending you our warmest congratulations on the 25th birthday celebration of the Tabernacle of David in Cairns. As a prophetic church fellowship and related ministries, you have been inspiring in the significant pioneering roles you have played in our nation and beyond.

Your heart for healing and reconciliation is expressed in Barbara’s well-researched books, through Norman’s art and teaching and all the conferences and seminars you have held in key locations, including Parliament House in Canberra. You carry the heart of the Father for Israel, expressed in your years of intercession and standing on the land. We join you in giving thanks to the Lord for 25 wonderful years serving Him.

Right – Sue and Roy Rowe, intercessory leaders in New Zealand. Sue says– Congratulations, from New Zealand, on your anniversary, celebrating the culmination of years of much planning, travel, strategic warfare, and strategic relationships new and old, especially to and with Israel.

It was a pleasure to be part of one of the teams you led to Israel, and the partnership with Howard and Randi Bass once we got there. Your fountain of knowledge of Israel came to the fore during the bus trips, as you explained the significance of each place we visited, and provided the historical context.

Prophetic words and visions from Ps Shirley Miller, Judy Miller, Colleen Burfitt and Ps Norman Miller after breakthrough worship 20.11.21

Biblical Basis of my Journey That Led to My Latest Book Secrets and Lies by Barbara Miller. This is worth checking out as it discusses briefly but insightfuly Critical Race Theory and Black Lives Matter and much more.

Left – Margot from the Isaiah 19 Highway says – What a delight to give honor where honor is rightly due.  I personally have a lot to thank you for and Australia has a lot to thank you for.  You are forerunners in the most crucial message of all and a blessing to Israel. When it wasn’t popular and still so misunderstood, you championed Israel and spoke up for her with your words and with your lives.  

 I first met you in Israel in 2003 at the Tom Hess convocation, representing Australia.  How apt that it was you who God chose for that honorable task.  How apt that Norman as an Indigenous Australian carried God’s heart for Israel and led the way for Australia to embrace the Jewish people, and teach us to honor them, their beautiful Jewish Messiah Yeshua and the land that He gave to them.  How apt that it was at this convocation where I first met you.

How apt that this was my very first month of the next five years of living in the City of our God, and the launching of my journey into the Isaiah 19 highway nations that continues to this day.  I loved you right away.  I loved your hearts right away. I loved your message and everything you carried right away. Thank you for batting for Israel and never giving up.  Thank you for the blessing that has been and you have been to Australia and to Israel.

The next time I had the privilege of spending extended time with you was the rare occasion that I came back to Australia in 2015.  You invited me to attend a conference and speak there.  Again, I saw how special you were. We were on the same page right away again, with hearts, minds, faith and prayers connected as one.  The message God gave me for us was so special to me.  It was a new message.  It was something that grew in me like something that was birthed in me. 

I’ve never had such a message that impacted me so deeply.  I was blessed more than anyone at that conference. I’m very sure of that.  It was a message that God gave me in dreams and by revelation and it has never left me since. In fact, it has grown, as does anything that God gives by His Spirit.  This tells me a lot about the hunger you and your congregation carry and the things that you birth.  It tells me, how you release the fullness of people’s ministries and what God has given them. Your ministry shouts forerunners.

Your ministry births deep things that become pillars in the end time heralders.  Thank you for every time you ask me to join you. I absolutely love sharing with you and hearing from you, because each time it comes with anticipation of what deep and revelatory things God is going to birth. 

   Your humility and love for the Lord points to Yeshua and to all that is on His heart.  It draws the Bride into the depths of His heart and past the superficial things. Past even the good things to the deepest things on His heart.  Thank you for carrying the cross with Him.  Thank you for being by His side in the things that are so dear to His heart, in the things that make Him weep and the things that bring Him joy. 

  Thank you for carrying His heart so beautifully.  I want to finish by leaving a verse that makes me want to put it like a banner over you.  “Works that will NOT burn in the fire”.  ICorinthians3:14. “Well done good and faithful, faithful servants”.  Matthew 25:21. Thank you, dear Norman and Barbara. 

Right – Brian and Robyn, co-founders of the Australian Prayer Network.

Brian brings this humourous story of when our ministry hosted a group of intercessors who were on a reconciliation tour of Australia. They were to speak at our Reconciliation conference in 1998. Brian says – It is a joy to pass on our congratulations to Norman and Barbara on the occasion of the 25th anniversary of the House of David. Over the years Norman and Barbara have laboured faithfully in many areas of Christian service and have made an enormous contribution to the lives of many they have impacted over that time.

Our paths have crossed many times over those 25 years, both here in Australia and overseas as well. The story that stands out for me (Brian) the most from many I could tell was when the British Intercessory team led by Brian Mills and Roger Mitchell came to Australia as part of what became known as British/Australian Reconciliation.

The British Team along with myself visited Cairns and were hosted by Norman and Barbara. Accommodation was found for them at a venue run by some Catholic Nuns. One night the Nuns went out and left the British Team to themselves with instructions that their dinners were stored in the refrigerator in plastic containers. All went well until the British went to the freezer section of the refrigerator rather than the refrigerator itself. Sure enough, there were plastic containers full of food. So they promptly emptied the containers onto a plate and put them in the microwave.

They did not complain about the food but noted to us later that it was a little tougher than expected. They finished their meal and settled in for the evening without further incident. When the nuns returned home they went to the fridge and noted the food still there unused. They then opened the freezer and discovered that all the food in the containers had gone at which point panic set in.

They called out to me to come and gingerly asked whether the British had in fact eaten the food in the freezer rather than the fridge to which I replied in the affirmative. At this point, their faces turned to horror as they told me they had in fact eaten the food set apart for their dogs and not the British. The food in the fridge was in fact the food they should have eaten. From memory the dog food they ate was in fact kangaroo meat – hence the relative toughness of it.

When we get together with the British from time to time we still laugh about this incident which fortunately did not set off another international incident.

(We do too Brian. We remember when Brian Mills shared this at our conference saying “Ruff ruff !! and we all had a big laugh. The kangaroo meat had 3 vegetables with it as the Nuns fed their dogs well.)
