AUSTRALIA NEEDS STRONG GODLY PROPHETIC VOICES

Today Australia needs true faithful strong Godly prophetic voices. 1 Kings 22 is a powerful narrative that shows the desperate need for the true word of the Lord regardless of consequences. 

A Tale of Two Kings, One Godly, One evil, and a Prophet without compromise

King Jehoshaphat (יְהוֹשָׁפָט meaning ‘Jehovah has judged’; son of king Asa and himself king of Judah for 25 years; one of the best, most pious, and prosperous kings of Judah) visits the King of Israel (Ahab אַחְאָב  a wicked king) as Ahab was facing an enemy and needed help. Although Ahab had 400 ‘prophets’ (1 Kings 22:6), he had no one that spoke the true word of the Lord.  Jehoshaphat asks is there a prophet of the Lord!  In other words the 400 prophets that the King of Israel had gathered were useless as they were simply a bunch of ‘yes men’.

Jehoshaphat wanted a true man of God to speak! How often do people want their ears tickled, their immediate needs met, with no thought for what God wants?

“And Jehoshaphat said, “Is there not still a prophet of the LORD here, that we may inquire of Him?” 1 Kings 22:7 

Then Ahab says there is one man of God, but he does not like what he says. The King of Israel wanted his ears tickled, but did not want to face up to the consequences  his own sin and the sins of his people.  He was offended by the word of the Lord because it found Ahab wanting.

 “So the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, “There is still one man, Micaiah the son of Imlah, by whom we may inquire of the LORD; but I hate him, because he does not prophesy good concerning me, but evil.” And Jehoshaphat said, “Let not the king say such things!” 1 Kings 22:8

Micaiah (מִיכָֽיְהוּ meaning ‘who is like God’; a prophet of Samaria who predicted the defeat and death of king Ahab of Israel) was a true prophet, not afraid to speak the true word of the Lord regardless of what others thought or the consequences. Ahab even attempted to gaol Micaiah, which was going to be a terrible punishment.

The King of Israel hated Micaiah because Micaiah spoke the true word of the Lord.  If the King of Israel had repented and turned to the Lord all could have been made right. 

After being warned, Ahab ends up dead at the hands of his enemies, with dogs licking up his blood. This happened at the word of the Lord from His prophet and Ahab’s continuing evil.

How does this apply to Australia, especially the Ekklesia (Church)

We believers (you are all ministers of the Gospel) have a great responsibility in administering the prophetic gifts from the Lord. God’s judgement is at hand. Do not say this is only old testament, consider Ananias and Sapphira in Acts 5:1-11.  God’s grace is also fully available, but judgement is still comes from the Lord at times. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom Proverbs 9:10 . As a nation we do not honour the Lord or hold his word holy.

The Ekklesia in Australia is facing a plethora of critical issues  (Trans and gay agendas, ‘safe  schools’, euthanasia, abortion, prostitution, people trafficking, and many other perversions and sins ) and it is time we the Ekklesia need to be speaking the word of the Lord boldly to a nation desperately in need of repentance and salvation.

Ekklesia in the New Testament was used to refer to any assembly of people. In his address to the Sanhedrin, Stephen calls the people of Israel “the assembly [Ekklesia] in the wilderness” (Acts 7:38). And in Acts 19:39Ekklesia refers to a convening of citizens to discuss legal matters (i.e. governmental authority). In most NT contexts, the word Ekklesia is used to refer to the people who comprise the New Testament church. I.e. God’s people with governmental authority.

This is the word I felt for Australia, especially the Ekklesia, at this time.  I asked the Lord the same question that Jehoshaphat  asked: ‘Is there not still a prophet of the LORD here, that we may inquire of Him?’. Sadly, today there are some ‘prophetic’ voices that only tickle people’s ears; we need the authentic word of the Lord.

I felt the Lord say that there will not be a single person to speak, but He wanted His Holy, Apostolic, Prophetic, Bride – His Ekklesia – to speak as one. I.e. in both Psalm 133:1 unity and John 17:22 oneness. I recommend reading Ekklesia Rising by Dean Briggs.

Sometime ago I saw a vision of leaders in every pulpit in the nation speaking the word of the Lord with power and truth.  Every congregation were on there knees crying out for His righteousness and truth. Repentance and change begins at the household of God. This is the start of Australia turning around.

The word being preached was without compromise, it was very offensive to sinners and some saints alike, the word of the Lord was also life and salvation through repentance and belief. Many found life in Jesus Christ.

The people of Australia (mostly) are heart sick of the current marxist political trajectory. The rise and rise of One Nation is symptomatic of the people’s cry, but political change is not the real answer.

We cannot see any political change as the end answer to the sins of Australia, only the work of the cross, Jesus as our saviour is the answer.

In the vision, as the clear word of the Lord was declared in unity across the nation many were convicted and fell to their knees crying out to the Lord for help and salvation.

Now is the time for all of us to be the prophet that Jehoshaphat had asked for, we all need to declare the truth of the word.  We the Church are called to manifest the Kingdom of God and His righteousness.  We will not win any popularity contests, but we will be His voice in a dry and thirsty land.

His Ekklesia is awesome and powerful, it is truly apostolic and prophetic.  The Lord is calling all of us to rise up and be His voice of truth in a land that has hundreds of false prophets who speak vanities.

“And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force.Matthew 11:12 

Arise and Take Action

Join us as we pray and fast for the Church — the Body of Christ — to awaken to and fulfil her calling and mission. We are praying for the Church (Ekklesia) to:

  1. Awaken to her first love for Jesus. (Ephesians 5:14Revelation 2:4)
  2. Awaken to evangelism so that millions will trust in Christ. (John 3:16Proverbs 11:30)
  3. Awaken to her prophetic voice to the nation. (Isaiah 52:1Matthew 14:4)

DANGEROUS ANTI-FREE AUSTRALIAN SPEECH LAW

If the latest anti-free speech law proposed by the Australian, Albanese Labor Government passes, you can be investigated, charged, and potentially imprisoned for speech that harms no one, threatens no one, and is lawful today.

Not for violence. Not for incitement. Not even for intimidation that anyone actually experienced.

For speech that a court later decides might have caused fear to a hypothetical person, judged through historical grievance and group identity.

That is not an exaggeration. That is what the Combatting Antisemitism, Hate and Extremism Bill 2026 does as drafted.

  • This Combatting Antisemitism, Hate and Extremism Bill 2026 allows Australians to be investigated and jailed for speech that causes no harm and threatens no one.
  • It punishes beliefs and motives, not just actions, and treats religious and community leaders as inherently dangerous speakers.
  • It removes the need for real victims by criminalising hypothetical fear judged through historical grievance.
  • It turns ordinary political and online speech on immigration, culture, and religion into legal risk.
  • It replaces free expression with opaque censorship that scares people into silence.

One of the most dangerous features is the creation of aggravated offences targeting religious and spiritual leaders. Schedule 1 amends the Criminal Code so that multiple hate-related offences are aggravated where the conduct is engaged in by a religious official or spiritual leader (however described).

That phrase matters. “However described” is not narrow. It does not limit itself to radical Imams and crazy Sheiks. It can capture pastors, priests, rabbis, monks, nuns, church elders, lay preachers, chaplains, and informal community leaders who provide moral or spiritual guidance. Religious leadership itself becomes an aggravating factor.

This is how free speech dies in a country like ours. With opaque censorship of certain undefined discourse, and breaches of that censorship regime punishable with severe jail sentences. That inspires fear, which leads people to remain silent instead of saying what they want to say.

This fits with Biblical end times prophecies that warn us of what transpires before Jesus returns to restore righteousness. Next on God’s agenda for planet earth is Jesus Millennial Kingdom. No one is talking about it and yet there are almost 2000 Biblical prophecies concerning it. It is why I established http://www.millennialkingdom.net so you can be prepared to rule and reign with Jesus during this transition period when Jesus and the Saints rule with a rod of iron.

JESUS: “And the dragon stood before the woman who was about to give birth, so that when she bore her child he might devour it. She gave birth to a male child, one who is to rule all the nations with a rod of iron,Revelation 12:4-5

JESUS: “From his mouth comes a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations, and He will rule them with a rod of iron.Revelation 19:15

SAINTS: “The one who conquers and who keeps my works until the end, to him I will give authority over the nations, and he will rule them with a rod of iron... ” Revelation 2:26

Anti-Free Speech Hate Bill 2026

EXTREMIST ISLAMIC IDEOLOGY TARGETED JEWS AT BONDI ATTACK

Antisemitism and terrorism are both moral and national security crises that demand clear conviction and courageous leadership. On this issue, I believe our leaders have lost their moral compass. When leaders lack moral clarity, conviction falters, courage diminishes, and wisdom is absent. The result is blurred priorities, inconsistent justice, and a failure to confront the threats that truly endanger our society. I would say there’s hypocrisy at play.

Grieving for Our Nation After the Bondi Terrorist Attack

It is extremely hypocritical to voice your concern about antisemitism while allowing weekly demonstrations featuring hate-filled chants and terrorist flags, often carried by masked activists.

It is hypocritical to say you oppose terrorism while capitulating to it so completely through the recognition of a Palestinian state after the October 7 genocide. This reflects neither strength of character nor national resilience.

Misguided Policies

It is misguided to suggest that further gun control alone will prevent acts of terrorism, particularly when those intent on violence do not respect the law. A stronger focus must be placed on building a nation grounded in shared values.

Australia is a multiracial nation, and that diversity has long been a strength. Social cohesion, however, depends on shared values rather than parallel cultures.

Immigration policy should therefore prioritise integration and a common commitment to the principles that hold our society together. Clearly, this has been absent from immigration policy.

Words such as diversity, multiculturalism, tolerance, and respect ring hollow when they result in passive acceptance of a murderous ideology. Equating antisemitism with Islamophobia, and distancing terrorist organisations from religion, is naïvely at best and cowardly at worst. Not all Muslims are terrorists, but the terrorist ideology is clearly rooted in religion.

Priority of the Gospel

In saying all of this, the failure in public policy must not lead to a compromise of our Christian disciplines.

We are called to love our neighbours and bless our enemies. We must continue to shine the light of Christ to all Australians, including Muslim communities, some of whom have come to Australia as refugees escaping violence. We must share the gospel of Jesus Christ and the all-sufficiency of his grace. But we must also pray that Australia’s laws and policies will be built from a position of moral clarity. They must address antisemitism by condemning and penalising real hatred and threats of violence.

The future of a free, just, and compassionate Australia depends on those willing to defend truth and act wisely in public life, with antisemitism recognised and addressed as the urgent threat it truly is.

Now that we are fast approaching the return of Jesus Christ we need to warn our family and friends and whoever God brings into our circle of influence of the coming judgement on the unrepentant prior to Jesus return to rescue Israel and usher in His Millennial Kingdom (http://www.millennialkingdom.net).

Biblical end times prophecy is cantered upon Israel. Prior to 1948 when Israel was re-established as a nation these prophecies made no sense but once it became a nation again in all respects, including the Hebrew language, all the many Biblical end times prophecies started to play out. They are proof the Bible is God’s word, it reveals the true history of God’s world. Use it for evangelism.

WHY AUSTRALIA MUST GO NUCLEAR

If we want to have a cleaner environment, we will need to address a few fundamental issues: The source of electricity and the baseload power generation infrastructure must be upgraded. And that means we need to migrate to nuclear fission. If the goal is to stop using coal and natural gas, then this is the only logical way to power economies and cleanly “fuel” EVs. The power distribution grid needs to be completely upgraded. If we all had EVs today, the power grids would collapse. It couldn’t carry the load. And our aging power grids tend to lose between 7–15% of the electricity between the source of production and your EV. This is what is referred to as transmission and distribution losses (T&D losses). That means we have to burn extra amounts of fossil fuels for each unit of electricity delivered to an end user. The power generation of major developing economies like China and India must be addressed. These countries continue to increase their use of coal, especially China, despite developed countries around the world reducing the use of coal. The U.S. private sector continues to lead the world in terms of investment and technological innovation on both next-generation forms of nuclear fission (small modular reactors, or SMRs) and nuclear fusion technology. Sadly, nuclear fusion is not even close.

U.S. energy technologies are aggressively “doing something about it” rather than just talking about it over tea parties. Fortunately, the Trump administration is very pro-nuclear as a source of energy, which has not been the case in the U.S. for decades. We can also expect to see some major regulatory changes that will safely streamline the regulatory process for developing and commissioning nuclear fission reactors.

In summary, we need to follow America’s lead. Dutton has seen the light, and we should give him the reigns at the next election. What he proposes is the best and least expensive power generation option for Australia, particularly using the existing transmission lines by converting coal-fired plants to nuclear. Labour’s renewables with solar and wind are not a viable option, and from my standpoint, wind turbines are an eyesore.

WHY AUSTRALIA WILL COME UNDER INCREASING JUDGEMENT OF GOD

Recent anti-God expenditures and legislation by State Governments will ensure further judgement on this nation by God.

NSW MLC John Ruddick has delivered a powerful speech to the state parliament about the excessive funding of rainbow activism. Up to $14 million and at least 22 agencies receive tax-payer funding to support their ‘neo-religion.’ Ruddick has called for government funding to cease and allow these groups to continue only if they can raise the funding themselves. He noted that organisations such as ACON (formerly known as the Aids Council of NSW) served their purpose during the AIDs epidemic but have since had to “invent new rainbow causes that are so important that the taxpayer has to fund them.” When lobby groups fight for a cause and win, they don’t just pack up their lobbying tents and go home. Too often they simply find new and more radical causes within the same framework. Lobbyists who rely on government grants do not simply pat themselves on the back after winning their cause – they get addicted to the gravy train.

Ashlyn Vice, SA Director of the Australian Christian Lobby (ACL), says Mr Hood’s Termination of Pregnancy Amendment (Terminations and Live Births) Bill was a “no-nonsense, compelling proposition to change the process of terminations post 28-weeks’ gestation – offering a pro-woman, pro-child compromise”. “Tonight’s result means more South Australian babies will be needlessly born dead when they could have been safely born alive,” Vice says. “If passed, this Bill would have ensured babies in their third trimester would be born alive by inducing early labour in circumstances where the mother insists on ending the pregnancy. This was to replace current practice, which is to kill the baby via a lethal potassium chloride injection before inducing labour.” Vice says.

Our elected government leaders have no fear of God which reveals the godless state of our nation and an inept church. A church that no longer upholds the inerrancy of God’s Word and heeds the many warnings and signs given of God’s coming judgement when He pours out His wrath upon an unrepentant world with the Trumpet and Bowl judgements.

Read the first four Trumpet judgements and know that the intensity only escalates as God pours out His wrath with the seven Trumpet and seven Bowl judgements. How many churches are warning the world of this soon coming judgement of God?

The first angel blew his trumpet, and there followed hail and fire, mixed with blood, and these were thrown upon the earth. And a third of the earth was burned up, and a third of the trees were burned up, and all green grass was burned up.
The second angel blew his trumpet, and something like a great mountain, burning with fire, was thrown into the sea, and a third of the sea became blood. A third of the living creatures in the sea died, and a third of the ships were destroyed.
The third angel blew his trumpet, and a great star fell from heaven, blazing like a torch, and it fell on a third of the rivers and on the springs of water. The name of the star is Wormwood. A third of the waters became wormwood, and many people died from the water, because it had been made bitter.
The fourth angel blew his trumpet, and a third of the sun was struck, and a third of the moon, and a third of the stars, so that a third of their light might be darkened, and a third of the day might be kept from shining, and likewise a third of the night.
Revelation 8: 7-12

VICTORIA ELEVATING NEW ANTI-VILIFICATION LAWS TO A STATE RELIGION OPPOSED TO CHRISTIANITY

The Victorian State government (Australia) wants to expand its anti-vilification legislation to include a laundry list of additional attributes, including disability, gender identity, sexual characteristics, and sexual orientation. If such an expansion is passed, it will become illegal in Victoria to offend people who are disabled, trans, non-binary, or “sexually diverse”. Maximum prison sentences will be up to three to five years.

The legal thresholds for what constitutes vilification will be lowered. Currently, one must “incite hatred” to breach the law. Under the proposed changes, however, speech that is “likely to incite” will become a criminal offence. Under such a standard, almost all speech referring to those with protected attributes – regardless of intent or context – could be deemed criminal. This means journalists, writers, comedians, academics, artists and activists will all be open to prosecution.

This new orthodoxy operates on multiple levels. First, it holds that speech inflicts harm equivalent to physical violence, which means stringent controls must be placed on expression. Second, it establishes a hierarchy of moral authority based on perceived victimhood, where some voices are deemed more virtuous than others. Third, it promotes a series of dogmas about identity, privilege, and systemic oppression that brook no dissent. This means debate is off the table.

Melbourne’s beloved Midsumma Festival, which takes place from January 19 through February 9, 2020—during Australia’s summer—draws tens of thousands of participants from the Melbourne metro area, all over Australia, and, increasingly, throughout the world. The city’s Gay Business Association started the festival in 1988 to celebrate the Melbourne queer community’s arts and culture.

Like any religion, this belief system has its own heresies. Questioning the concept of gender fluidity, expressing concern about biological males in women’s sports, or suggesting that factors other than discrimination might contribute to disparities between groups – all these become dangerous utterances, potentially worthy of legal sanction.

Just as heretics once faced inquisitions for challenging church doctrine, today’s dissenters risk social ostracism, professional ruin, and potentially legal consequences for transgressing this new moral code. Victoria’s shift represents a fundamental reimagining of the role of government in a liberal democracy. Rather than serving as a neutral arbiter, protecting the rights of citizens who have equality before the law, the state is now becoming the enforcer of a particular worldview. It’s a vision where the government not only dictates what citizens can say, but what they must believe.

This will just intensify the persecution of Christians which fulfils one of the many Biblical prophesied end-times signs. It will also ensure Australia comes under the escalating judgement of God.

Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and put you to death, and you will be hated by all nations for my name’s sake. And then many will fall away and betray one another and hate one another. And many false prophets will arise and lead many astray. And because lawlessness will be increased, the love of many will grow cold. But the one who endures to the end will be saved.” Matthew 24:9-13
