At least one church leader is speaking very clearly about this. There are very few others speaking clearly to the issue as most are afraid of recourse by the governtment.
They were overtaken by a communist regime... plain and simple 🤷🽔♂ï¸
Much like what is happening in Europe (GB, France, Greece, etc..) and in America and all over the world-
Australia was heavily influenced by Chinese monies and substantial immigration from CCP which softened/delayed their response to being infiltrated, not recognizing the true nature (demonic) of the threat because they were being lied to about and at the same time distracted from the reality they were entering in to. This can only happen when we forsake the light of Christ for the "light” of the world, for (((ALL))) that is in the world is the lust of the eyes, the lust of the flesh, and the pride of life-
I have stated before and will continue to state,...
This is a worldwide takeover (powergrab) by a demonic principality under the guise of a medical emergency, which itself was created for this purpose and to this end. Not only has this been clearly stated by those whom are ideologically aligned in graphic detail since at least 2011, tho had been planned many decades before.
I understand that many of my brethren will scoff and write me or my words off as a conspiracy theory or the rantings of a derelict but... I will not deny what my eyes see nor will I be silent about it.
The "Church” has shown itself to be so weak, so blind, so hard of hearing and hard of heart that by and large has "taken a knee” before the altar of the idols of science, wealth, pleasure, and power.
Again this is the greatest breakdown of the "church” in the past 1000 yrs and it’s happening on our watch!!!
I would be remiss if I failed to, or stopped short of, stating clearly to the "church” ... R E P E N T!!! and do the works meet with repentance... else you will likewise perish 🔥
Borrowing partly from a medical conference yesterday,... "If you view this as a medical emergency you will react as a victim,... of you view this as a war you will respond as a warrior”.
Fear and Faith both require you to believe what you can’t see... choose wisely ðŸ™ðŸ»
This verse:
28 And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.
Romans 8:28 NKJV
ALL things, is in fact everything that happens everyday God works for our good. But if we walk with our eyes, and not by faith, we will see none of God's goodness. God hardens whom He desires to harden and He has mercy on whom He desires to have mercy. God is sovereign, what many are considering to be chaos is God working out His sovereign will. What's happening in Australia and all around the world is according to God's sovereign will. He takes all the sin of man and works it all for the eternal good of His children.
You wrote;
" What's happening in Australia and all around the world is according to God's sovereign will”
In your view, God is causing or in control of and effectively directing these events ?? (including but not limited to the brutality of child trafficking, child porn, industrialized abortion, perpetual lies and misinformation, etc..)
Not trying to put words in your mouth, rather hoping to better understand your position and the limits thereof if any-
I simply stated a biblical truth. Whether you believe God's word or not, is not something I will debate with you. There was recently someone on this site listing verse after verse of irrefutable evidence of election and predestination. In excess of 50 verses if I recall correctly. But to no avail as a hearer on this site use the remark to describe the God of election and predestination as "monstrous". So I am not at all surprised at your response brother Fletcher.
What is happening in Australia and throughout the world is very concerning.While I agree with many things the Bishop said, I believe he is missing the point.
Here is my conclusion, most might disagree: it is about the wrath of God !The wrath of God is a theme that runs through the entire Old and New Testaments.
God was angry with Sodom and Gomorra because of gross immorality.
Most importantly for us:
In the wilderness, God was angry with His rebellious people. Moses told them: "Remember! Do not forget how you provoked the Lord your God to wrath in the wilderness. From the day that you departed from the land of Egypt until you came to this place, you have been rebellious against the Lord. Also in Horeb you provoked the Lord to wrath, so that the Lord was angry enough with you to have destroyed you” (Deuteronomy 9:7, 8). Through the centuries God was angry with His people because they rejected His word and worshiped idols.
"These things happened to them as examples and were written down as warnings for us, on whom the culmination of the ages has come..." (1 Cor 10:11) But we ignored the warnings.
There are times when "God abandoned them to do whatever shameful things their hearts desired..."(Romans 1:24)
Or He can be directly involved, He caused it to rain (Gen 7:4)
Here is Daniel's Prayer for His People again:
Daniel 9v4 And I prayed to the LORD my God and confessed, "O, Lord, the great and awesome God, who keeps His covenant of loving devotion to those who love Him and keep His commandments, 5we have sinned and done wrong. We have acted wickedly and rebelled. We have turned away from Your commandments and ordinances. 6We have not listened to Your servants the prophets, who spoke in Your name to our kings, leaders, and fathers, and to all the people of the land.…
Proverbs 9:10 "The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding..."
Blessings

//But to no avail as a hearer on this site use the remark to describe the God of election and predestination as "monstrous"//
I’m the guy who called it monstrous and will continue to do so.
Why not just answer Fletcher’s question which has nothing to do with predestination or election?
It was/is a simple question in hopes to understand what you were saying ...

Because if you cannot believe something that is proved by 50 bible verses, then there's no point wasting time explaining spiritual truths. A spiritual truth means it is evidenced by God's word, not your experience. It's not surprising that you two also don't believe in God's will to heal which is evidenced by countless verses. I'm sure you as well think it is barbaric that we must be crucified with Christ. And for sure, the thought of losing your life in this world is just out of question. Because what is quite apparent is that you are quite content with your own beliefs and forcing those beliefs on other believers, yet you post that you do not feel God's presence. You call Him monstrous with no fear. You are blind!
Please don't get off-topic !
Can you try and discuss this privately ?
The situation in Australia and around the world is serious.
That's where our focus should be.

Here’s what happens next according to the historic pattern of persecution-
1. Stereotyped
2. Vilified
3. Marginalized
4. Criminalized
5. Open Persecution
It’s not for me to tell you where we are in these 5 phases or for you to assume based on observations and experiences alone, ... ask the Lord yourself. Commune with Him bringing these things to Him to be resolved in you first and then in others.
We would regret missing opportunities the Lord laid before because we were distracted with matters of the world.
Regardless of our doctrine, we are one in Christ ðŸ™ðŸ»
Now is not the time to bicker and divide over personal matters, this is happening on our watch and I believe that our God can and will use us to address the root (spiritual) ... IF we will tend to His business and not be consumed with the worlds business.
Leonard Ravenhill once said; " if we don’t start concentrating in prayer, we’ll be praying in concentration camps”
He could see it coming decades ago because he had the light to see, like Elijah prayed for Elisha to see and the Lord opened his eyes and all his fears vanished... save that of the Lord -
I’ll be totally honest and say, it’s already much worse than we think and what happened in Australia is just the progression of what is happening everywhere those seeds (tares) were planted. Now they’re coming to harvest and we get to grow along side them till the separation on the threshing floor.
Carnality at its finest. How is it you spend any time in the worlds news?! Do you not know the root of that news? Is that from God's word? No its not! It's from someone in this world. One who lives in the root of this world which is satan.
Your thoughts? All sin. Your feelings, your emotions, your cares, your lusts...all sin! The word of God, is the will of God, that can only be worked in us by the Holy Spirit. Jesus came "to do Your will oh God". That is what each child of God is called to do. To lay down their life in this world, in full surrender to God, to allow Him to do in us as He pleases.
You are content with your life of sinning and repenting. As if God is an ATM of forgiveness! Jesus forgives our sins not so we can continuing sinning. We are not to walk in sin. You must lose your life in this world! You die to this world and all that is in it, including what it calls news!
It wouldn’t hurt to re-listen to David Wilkersons prophesy from early in his ministry where he points out that the persecution coming to the modern church is not from without but within... and those being persecuted would not be given the dignity of suffering as Christians, but would be stereotyped as bigots, homophobic, racists, intolerant, etc. and not as followers of Christ.
Today that could easily translate into any number of vilify-able groups, our culture embraces this very practice even in the church...
But like brother Wilkerson, I believe that the Lord will move in His people ðŸ™ðŸ»
Just to highlight how bad it is here in Australia. I spent four hours in jail yesterday and now have a criminal record because I refused to wear a mask and I was on my way to a march to demonstrate against what is happening here. No joke!
May God continue to give brother SteveHale and others in Australia the boldness and courage to stand up for the truth in the face of such opposition! May God raise up voices of truth all over the earth to proclaim TRUTH which is the only thing that can set men free. I thank God for such groups as Frontline Doctors here in the USA and other such doctors and scientists who are proclaiming the truth about the biggest hoax that has ever been played out on a global scale to enslave the entire planet. If we sit back and let it happen we are complicit in the evil. THANK GOD for the bishop in the video and the many others who are proclaiming the truth. Last year I had C19 and pneumonia at the same time. Doctors were doing what they could, but God is the healer. I am alive because many people petitioned God for my healing. This effort to divert the trust of people away from God and make us dependent on an ever changing group of elite "scientists" and doctors who ignore all other research but their own is ever showing itself for what it is: LIES LIES LIES!!! The story keeps changing because the unchanging Creator is ignored.
Discouraging to hear this dear brother but not all together surprising-
Will continue to pray for Australia that the message of repentance is preached to the wayward and intercessory work be done by the faithful ðŸ™ðŸ»
Aussie’s are strong, gritty, resilient people but apart from the Lord they are powerless before the controllers of the global supply chain as are we all 🤷🽔♂ï¸
THIS IS SO SAD! They are having it out in court in Australia right now to decide if people can leave the house for a purpose that is permitted and then engage in activity (political discussion) that is not permitted.
WHAT HORRIBLE TYRANNY!!!!
