1 + National Office: Apostle Norman & Prophetess Barbara Miller P.O. Box 425, Westcourt, Cairns, Qld City of the Living God International Airport Gateway Church Phone/Fax (07) COMMENTS ON THE 24/7 CONVOCATION JULY CANBERRA Thanks for giving me the opportunity and honour to be a part of the history-making, spiritual and political-climate changing convocation in the capital city, Canberra. God has honoured your faith and vision and the far-reaching prophetic ministry of Tabernacle of David, Cairns. Congratulations to your successful and powerful convention! I am so thankful for and blessed by the breakthrough offering that you collected for me. May God continue to give you favour and every good increase. David Swan, Worshipper (Malaysia) We started with this note from Apostle David Swan as we thought it would encourage you. The time was indeed history-making and changed the spiritual and political climate over this nation. We also believe that the giving of those who attended opened the heavens over this nation and the lives of those who gave and the church so please stay in this blessing and appropriate it. Thanks to those who laid money at the apostles feet and other speakers. God has met our expenses for this convocation even though it cost over $9,000 just for the lunches and morning teas at Parliament House. Praise the Lord!!! Thank you to all who gave. The only thing that remains is the cost of producing the videos. The (Ps) 24/7: Opening the Nation s Gates and Ushering in the Glory Convocation in the Parliamentary Theatrette in Canberra July 2004 was a pivotal, nation-turning time in the Spirit. Truly as the Lord told us, the conference would turn the nation around just as a little rudder turns a big ship around. Also we had our Gideon s army that won a battle in the heavenlies over the nation because the angels were fighting with us. We value your prayers before, during and after the convocation. One of the comments we heard from people was that it was good to connect with like-minded Christians who were hearing similar things from the Lord but doubted themselves because those near them were not hearing the same thing. It was an opportunity to be reaffirmed and to network and feel part of the body of Christ (Messiah). We had a newsletter many years ago but we believe it is time to start a new one so that those who attended the convocation can stay in touch with each other and we can build on the breakthroughs that the Lord has brought to us. If you do not want to keep receiving this just let us know. In this first newsletter we want to do a few things thank those who helped with the convocation and share with you prophetic words and testimonies received etc. Word of Thanks We would like to thank the speakers for their wonderful presentations- Apostle David Swan, Ps Michael Maeliau, Ps Noel Mann, Ps Lawrence Hirsch, Dianne Taylor and Ps Norman and 1

2 Barbara Miller. We would also like to thank the panelists for very interesting presentations Josie Lacey, Gary Fellman, Ps Peter Walker, Ps Bill Simon, Kathy Guthadjata, Richard Evans, Ps Jamie Pryor, Ps Roma Hoskings, Ps Renton McCrae and Ps Chris Gogos. We would also like to thank the praise and worship team who brought forth real breakthrough praise and worship Ps Norman Miller (songleading), Ps Jamie Pryor (songleading and keyboard) Thomas Miller (songleading and lead guitar), Colleen Burfitt (songleading and keyboard), Ps Brent Smith and Elizabeth Knudson (drums) and Canberra singers. Brent had a powerful warfare anointing on the drums with Norman having a powerful warfare anointing on his songleading. Thanks to Colleen Burfitt, our Creative Arts Director for the work and personal expense she put into the prophetic acts such as the wedding ceremony and the scrolls and menorahs used for the baton handing on ceremony to the youth. Also for the flags and banner making with her team of Shirley, Elizabeth, Daphne and Cheryl. We would also like to thank Jacqueline Bedson s team, the Christian Dance Fellowship of Australia for their opening night of powerful prophetic dancing, Irwin Ross for inspired dancing, the anointed tambourine players from the Tabernacle of David (Cairns and Innisfail) and Roxanne Rea for her beautiful item in dance. We would also like to thank Irwin Ross and the CDFA for a wonderful stage presentation with curtains representing the opening of the gates, a large sign saying Prepare the Way and banners. We give God all the glory. We thank the hardworking team from Cairns. Norman had the vision, Barbara picked up the vision and ran with it putting legs on it and carrying the overall logistical organization. Pam Wordham in the office did a wonderful job with registrations and Greenhills bookings and the team of Shirley Miller and Grandma Barlow (intercessors), Colleen Burfitt (creative arts & music), Thomas Miller (music & transport), Judy McVicar (video & transport), Cheryl Wieden (intercessor & liaison with Greenhills cook), Brad Hubner (sound & order forms) Roger Wall (bus & guide), Elizabeth Knudson (music & guide), Roxanne Rea, Shirley Whallen, Janet Edwards, Gwen Andrews and Lorraine Naqicatabula (tambourines). Joanne Miller and Debii Miller from Brisbane joined for the week of the conference with Joanne taking over the logistics from Barbara once the conference started and they looked after the speakers and book tables. The list above is a summary of what was done and the prayer team prayed every morning in Cairns for a year prior to the conference. From Canberra we would like to give thanks to Ps Jamie Pryor who is head of the Canberra Pastors Reference Group for the conference and provided valuable advice. We d also like to thank Jamie for providing most of the equipment used for praise and worship and for leading some of the praise and worship for the conference. The Canberra praise and worship team and the Tabernacle of David team from Cairns had had only one practice together before the conference and they were able to work together well. The others on the Canberra Pastors Reference Group are Ps Roma Hoskings, Ps Renton McCrae, Ps Chris Gogos Ps Ross Lindner and Mal Prior. We thank them for their advice and support. We appreciate Ps Roma Hoskings coming early every morning to pray, Hiliary Moroney for all the networking and intercession for the convocation and Paul Moroney for assisting with transporting delegates to and from the airport. Hiliary and Paul gave us the only pre-conference donation so that we could get a wonderful brochure printed. This was done by the Tabernacle of David in Malaysia whom we d also like to thank for translating our vision onto paper so well. We d like to thank Irwin Ross for being available to help in any way during the conference and we d like to thank those whose homes we stayed at while organizing the conference Paul and Hiliary Moroney, Ps Jamie and Jillian Pryor, Judi Monticone, and Irwin and Jill Ross. Although Ps Reg and Cherry Yates could not be at the conference, we would like to thank them for 2

3 logistical support in Canberra including finding a bus for us to take all the delegates from Greenhills back to the airport after the conference. Also thanks to Bret Ridley for organizing a lap top computer for our use. We d like to thank Ps Patricia Thomson from our Sydney office for her help particularly in intercession and Dianne Taylor of Sydney who has been a wonderful support in many ways. Thanks to Kris Schlyder for mailing 500 brochures out to his mail list and we praise God that people sent brochures out to their friends. Intercessors and pastors from Canberra, Sydney and Queensland joined in Canberra for a 2 day consultation re the 24/7 convocation. This was facilitated by Norman and I. This turned out to be a powerful time in the spirit not only for planning but for dealing in spiritual warfare with various strongholds over Canberra and our nation. For example, the ten points of the sephirot that Dianne and I talked about at the conference were dealt with in prayer. Judi Monticone gave us a talk at the March meeting on her research. In fact 6 hours not stop on the second day were devoted to repentance and spiritual warfare prayer. This paved the way for the convocation in July. Please pray for us in coming months to cover us from spirits of backlash, retribution and revenge. CDs, DVDs and Videos Please contact us for an order form if you are interested in receiving them. CDs are $5 each. DVDs and videos are still being made. The visuals are excellent but the sound is not. However the sound on the CDs are excellent so we are having to synchronise them to produce quality videos which is labour intensive. Prophecies from Convocation We apologize that time ran out and we didn t get a chance for people to share their prophetic words in the last session but we re including here those that were written down and passed onto us. If you have others, please send them to us and we ll include them in the next newsletter. 22/7/04 Cheryl Wieden When we were in repentance I saw the Convocation of the people repenting as a tiny golden seed. As the prayer, praying in the Spirit and worship was going up, I saw the seed start vibrating and reverberating quite violently until it exploded. As it did the pyramid top exploded out and it was a multicoloured display shooting out. Much like a fireworks display only more spectacular. They shot forth in every direction. Unknown In praise and worship I saw a long road going in a straight line leading to what looked like an oval shaped building. As I looked on I saw Jesus on the Head of this building with His arms wrapped around the outer bounds. 23 July 2004 Elsa Foley When Norman prayed Friday morning that God would open the gates, I saw in front of the auditorium two enormous golden doors. They started to open. On the left side as I looked up, Jesus stood, dressed in mangificent white robes, He smiled. Suddenly, the lambs ran from our position into the gates, Hundreds of lambs were coming - running in. Jesus said "Your Love for God is going to open the gates. Your Faithfulness to God will open the Gates. Ps Patricia Thomson GOD'S VISITATION AND OPEN HEAVEN FOR THE THIRD DAY CHURCH began at dawn on the 3rd day of the 3rd month of the 3rd millenium. 3

Vision 24/7/04 [Morning session] Muriel Jencke Forgiveness between Jew and Gentile The hand of God removed a deep thorn from the hearts of his people. The thorn had been hammered deeper and deeper in many generations. As God took the thorns, He placed a diamond aflame and alight in His royal diadem and in the hearts of his people. Water flowed from Uluru, the River of God flowed through the desert bringing healing, restoration, revival. We stepped into the flow, stay in the flow His hand reached out in such blessing 4

5 24/7/04 Dianne Taylor On the morning of the last day, Dianne Taylor turned her banner of the Sydney Harbour Bridge around as a sign that the gates of Australia had opened to the King of Glory and that the nation had been turned around in the spirit. She put the sheep on top of the banner to declare Australia as a sheep nation. 24/7/04 Barbara Miller Before Dianne turned the banner around, I saw the glory of the Lord over the Sydney Harbour Bridge on the banner during the worship. Signs at Convocation On the Saturday morning as Barbara was speaking, a downpour of rain descended on Parliament House and continued through the day. This was recognized as a sign by many attending. Remember after the battle at Mt Carmel, Elijah said that the spiritual and physical drought would be broken and said I hear the sound of an abundance of rain. Apostle David Swan had spoken of a change in the spiritual and physical climate and he was excited that someone from Canberra had given him a bright pink cherry blossom which does not normally flower till September but it had flowered in July. Testimonies/Comments We have had many testimonies/comments come in and we ll include a couple here and save the rest for the next newsletter. Please send in any testimonies/comments you have. 24/7/04 Saturday morning- Catherine Posterino I had a burden for when my natural father came out to this nation from Italy and carried the lies and dishonouring of the Jews through World War 11 out to this nation. I feel the burden for other nations who have also brought this racism out with them and I felt the need to repent on behalf of this. 24/7/04 Dianne Taylor I meant to tell you both that on Saturday 24th July the Lord led me to that first foundation stone, a seven tier hexagram, in front of Parliament, and I laid a picture of the banner proclaiming the 'sons of Zion versus sons of Greece victory' with the Cross in the centre exactly on the leyline and then placed on top of it a stone from Abraham's wells of Beersheba we visited in January. Earlier that morning Carole Koroknay was given revelation on why each of us were dressed in different colours. She said I was so dressed as I was 'removing the stones'. I did not know that was what I was about to do. I believe in doing this the Lord was proclaiming the victory of Christians (especially what was done at the 24/7 Convocation) over what 'sons of Greece' had done over the parliament, city and nation and that stones we being removed that have blocked wells of revival for many years. God is using 'lighthorse' people like He did at Beersheva to achieve this. It also represented a cleansing and rededication. Satan has to bow his knee to it and satanic control has been broken in Jesus name. Jesus had now been proclaimed as the Foundation Stone to our Federal Parliament, Canberra and Australia. I praise God for you both and look forward to Uluru. P.S. I was so overwhelmed and excited to see the 'chupah' and marriage ceremony. I could not stop balling my eyes out. I know it was at that moment of the marriage ceremony the nation TURNED and it was sealed prophetically to be a SHEEP NATION. 'Thy will be done on earth as it is in Heaven'. 5

6 Results We indeed believe God brought an open heaven over Canberra and our nation and it is up to us to appropriate that, to move in this window of opportunity for revival and blessing in our nation. We need to maintain the territory taken through prayer and action, to enjoy the spoils of war and to take more territory for the Lord. When nations take territory, they put in their own government. We need to be legislating in the heavenlies over our nation and enforcing God s government through our prayers. We have had reports of a local church in Canberra seeing a move of the Spirit and healings on the Sunday after the Conference. Their pastors attended the 24/7 conference. We believe we prepared the way for The Call event on the night of 24/7/04 and for the marriage event and men s prayer summit that occurred at Parliament House afterwards. The Lord has worked in turning around ALP policy towards same sex marriages. A door appears to have opened for a 24/7 prayer house in Canberra to come back on the front burner where the opportunity appeared to have been lost. 6
