ORIGINAL PROPOSAL FOR TOWN HALL MEETING IN JUNE 2016

1. BANNER

"THE LION ROARS - Church Voice for National Reformation"

2. OUR OBJECTIVES (what it's all about - our desired outcomes)

Our immediate objectives are:

(a) Church mobilisation - that the Church and its voice may be one across the land, particularly in the local area where God has placed us for service, through the :

· Voice of prophecy - amplification of the clear, penetrating voice of prophecy to guide us through awakening, repentance, preparation and the struggle for victory

· Voice of individual Christians - a surge in the number of individual Christians serving God and the people outside the Church as salt and light in the public square for the common good

· Voice of individual Churches - reviewing their strategies, culture and structure to ensure alignment with the plans and purposes of God for such a time as this

· Voice of the denominations - about the huge contribution since settlement to the life of the disadvantaged and the soul of the nation

(b) Voice to Government

· A new narrative - to launch a powerful new decentralisation strategy to restore the vision of our founding fathers and to ensure that power resides in the people rather than concentrated in the hands of distant power-hungry centralising elites.

· election - to cause a significant swing away from ineffective government

· plebiscite - to reverse the superficial majority support into a resounding NO vote

(c) People's Groundswell - to activate and lead a sustainable community-based groundswell by the people, for the people, demanding a change of leadership style and national direction

(d) Commission the committed - pray for those who raise their hands at this meeting, who are willing to raise their voice and join the movement and to pray for those who are already on the move and answered God's call to Australia to rise up for such a time as this.

3. OUR PASSION

Our passion and approach for this meeting, and many others like it, for such a time as this in these last days is to see the Church lift up and project its voice into the public arena as prophets, priests and kings, calling out for that kind of national reform that shapes us to become one nation under God, working boldly for the maximum good of all Australians.

Our passion is not built on the world's motivations of lust, power, money, sex and fame - all of which are played out before our eyes in great abundance. In such a time as this . nations rage, trying to cast off the bands and cords of God (Ps 2) and to replace that yoke with the yoke of Satan. That yoke will be heavy indeed and lead to great anguish of the enslaved lost. In stark contrast, as white is to black, the yoke of the Lord is light and easy and provides true rest for the people (Mat 11:28-30).

Our passion must lead to repentance. We must repent and be zealous (Rev 3:19). Then we will see great outcomes as a result of great faith in a great God and the people see us in a different way - on fire with love for God and neighbour

Our passion is to reflect the Lord's passion, for only in Him do we live, move and have our being (Acts 17:28) - and to serve the King of Kings who has all government on His shoulder (Isa 9:6-7).

Our passion is to hunger and thirst for righteousness across the land. God will fill us for the fight - even in the face of persecution (Mat 5:6,11). We desperately need the power of God to do that which we have not been able to do ourselves. That power is found in scripture (Mat 22:29), particularly the Gospel (Rom 1:16).

Our passion is to hear the Voice of God for such a time as this. The lions roar is God's voice - it is the voice of prophecy (Amos 3:8) . If we fail to echo that roar we shall be powerless (1Co 1:17) and bring woe upon us ((1Cor 9:16). As He roars, let us roar as well in every quarter, beginning with each individual Christian. We will not see a seismic shift in this nation until that shift happens within each of us. Then the Church will find its voice for transformation and be heard anew across the land, above the noise of deception, confusion and chaos below.

Our passion is to gather regularly with the committed saints, in one accord in one place, and together to lift up our voice to God and wait on Him for the power of God to fall on us for witnessing to and serving the people (Acts 4:24-33)

Our passion is that we go from these meetings, and many others like it, committed, engaged and zealous to stand and fight for God and take back the ground the enemy has stolen and to preach, teach, learn and with great courage (Jos 1:9) and boldness in the face of the enemy to act out God's word concerning these matters - without apathy, fear or compromise.

Our passion is to follow Christ as He builds His church. Some, through fear of man or compromised theology may choose not to follow and stay cold or lukewarm. That's their choice. But as for us - we choose to follow and serve the Lord.

4. CHURCH MOBILISATION

Aim - to initiate a decentralised and uncompromising movement of God's people at an individual and individual Church level and to encourage us, together with our denominational leaders to fight for Christian identity and remind the people of Australia of the huge contribution the Church has made to national welfare and culture. This requires various levels of mobilisation - working from the ground up:

(a) Mobilising the prophets - through encouragement, participation and careful listening and confirmation with the word of God and the revelation to others by the Spirit. This will include forth-telling from scripture and fore-telling through special revelation and the impartation of wisdom. The right prophecy will be extremely appropriate for the immediate warfare situation - saving a lot of time, energy and resources in the process and maximising the steel punch of God to pull down strongholds and take the ground. True prophets are not to be despised. Look for the WOW factor in prophecy that cannot be manufactured by man.

Our immediate priority is repentance. We must encourage those with prophetic zeal together with committed individual Christians and Churches to immediately repent and obey the command to be zealous. This will involve removal of all compromise from the pulpit and the pew and zealous preaching and teaching from God's Word without man-made additions or subtractions.

This will mean we can individually and collectively prepare and move in one accord to seek God for direction, wisdom and power. This must be done in the name of Jesus and through the unadulterated message of the Cross. Then as we go, we can show, sow and grow the Kingdom, including the public square.

(b)Mobilising the individual Christian

- see Attachment 1 - Generic Job Description for the Individual Christian

- see Attachment 2 - Additional Duties for the Mobilised Christian

- see Attachment 3 - Individual Church Mobilisation

- see Attachment 4 - The Gospel Spear-head

(d) Mobilising local street mission - loving our neighbour more by increasing on-street prayer and mission work in those local neighbourhoods immediately surrounding our Churches. This is a powerful strategy on its own and fundamental to our whole strategic success for winning the nation

(e) Mobilising governance engagement - in those same local neighbourhoods be the voice of the Church with local communities for engagement with ward councillors and State and Federal representatives.

(f) Mobilising the popular groundswell - to partner with other concerned citizens to take the high ground and save Australia from further moral, social and economic decline - in short, to mobilise to take our country back. See later paragraph.

(g) Mobilising to win back public favour - to promote the incredible credentials of the church loving our neighbours through practical ministry to the disadvantaged . Unfortunately this is necessary because cultural dementia has set it and many do not know (or choose not to remember) the valuable past contribution of the Church in society for helping the under-privileged. We have allowed the enemy to define the Church as being full of paedophiles and who see religion as irrelevant, fundamentalist and fostering enemies of the State.

Several pages explaining these aspects of mobilisation strategy will be launched, explained and distributed at the meeting.

Handouts include:

· The Barmen Declaration

· a similar Declaration to be signed off by Christians and individual churches

· illustrative church and governance maps

· chart on national decline

· chart showing the need for a strategic turn-around

· relevant Family Voice literature

· church material highlighting Church history of mission to the disadvantaged

5. VOICE TO GOVERNMENT

Aims

- to voice the need for strategic change

- to voice the need to restore the original vision of our founding fathers - to show why and how this needs to be restored rather than relying on the never-ending cycle of shallow and conceited "visions" trotted out by ineffective, myopic leaders.

- to voice a clear "design-brief" for politicians, government, setting out our fundamental requirements for those in public office in terms of character and governing principles.

- to voice key issues relevant to the upcoming election and cause a swing back to the people

- to voice key issues relevant to the future plebiscite and cause a huge swing for a NO vote

- to voice and lead an ongoing, sustainable movement to ensure better government and strategic change in the short and long term

(a) Need for Strategic Change

By and large the big 4 major parties have failed us badly in leadership, character and performance – and only have themselves to blame. They have led us to become addicted to mediocrity and we now demand something much better . Yet they still have not got the message - their election policies for this election promise more of the same – the same empty promises, the same un-fundable pork-barrelling, the same self-oriented personae.

We want people in Parliament who are more interested in the public good of all Australians than in self-interest and power for power’s sake. This is a national emergency. It’s time for a change. It's time for a U-turn in strategic thinking in order to win a significant upturn in national character and progress. The voice of the "progressives" is deceptive, hollow, un-validated and dangerous.

(b) Re-launch of the original vision

In stark contrast to all of this , the founding fathers designed a Constitution with a powerful vision for freedom, unity and government of the people, by the people and for the people - for the maximum good of all Australians.

This vision was founded on the famous preamble to the Constitution (see Attachment 5 "Constitution Preamble"), where the key words are:

· people

· God

· unite

The basics are there - an indissoluble union between people and between the people and God. Where this union is broken, forgotten or ignored then we cannot rely on the blessing of Almighty God. The evidence of what happens when a nation forgets God is all around us. Look at the demise of Communist and Fascist nation-States and the decline and decadence of Western nations since 1945 - even the USA and the UK. We have nothing to learn from centralists who seek to enslave us with their multitudinous rules, regulations and demands for political correctness.

Sadly the spirit and vision of the founding fathers has been wrested away by these self-absorbed, power-hungry centralising elites who promise much but deliver little, except division and decline. They've had their turn. Now they must get out of the way and give way to time-honoured strategies and the prevailing common sense of our founding fathers and people who can at least tell right from wrong and rejoice in the power of free speech to say so.

(c) Design Brief for Better Government

The main weapon for restoring the original vision and to breathe new life into the election, plebiscite, government, economics, community, culture and public morality is a biblical, military and business strategy called "decentralisation".

A one-page mobilisation strategy for this will be launched, explained and distributed at the meeting (Attachment 6 - "National Reformation Manifesto"). In this sense we are king-makers. Some may even rise up to be kings serving the people.

(d) Election Swing

Aim - to cause a significant swing of votes at the July 2 election to force people to sit up and ask "what just happened?". Then we can tell them.

This swing will be God-driven, involving a coalition of Christian parties agreeing with the 3 part platform of the decentralisation strategy (Attachment 6 - "National Reformation Manifesto"). Other minor parties will be invited to agree with (or substantially agree with) that platform.

We will also make "Safe Schools" and "Same Sex marriage" election issues.

There is plenty of concern about "Safe Schools" to work with . There will be no plebiscite about "Same Sex marriage" after the election if Labour wins. They have pledged to make it lawful shortly thereafter (unless it is blocked by the Senate). There is no real comfort that Malcolm Turnbull will follow through with a plebiscite.

In the meantime its more strategic for us to tie these two things together as activist homosexual promotion. While our leaders have been asleep at the wheel and the rest of us compliantly dozing under the spell of political correctness the centralising social engineers here and overseas have been busy planning the demise of the Church and society in Australia through this twin-headed strategy called "Safe Schools" and "Same Sex Marriage".

Their plan is to undermine the truth and common-sense reality of male and female roles, identity and family structures and to intimidate, marginalise, bully and criminalise Christians into powerlessness through compromise, passivity and silence - all of which of course is unbiblical. For them those consequences are intended, very much like the process used in Nazi Germany, but for the majority of Australians there will be "unintended consequences".

Our job is to explain this clear and present danger to them as a matter of national emergency. We must pull down this stronghold and slay this dragon. The mobilisation strategy to overcome these evils will be launched, explained and distributed at the meeting.

Handouts include:

· Marriage Alliance brochure

· Chris Brohier's paper on legal aspects of SSM

· relevant Family Voice literature

· newspaper cuttings (e.g. Paul Kelly)

· sermon guidelines on both topics

· bibliographies etc

In addition, there are three powerful messages that could be used with nominal supporters:

· fear of God - say something like "I think it all sounds very ungodly. I don't think God is going to be too happy with it. Then we'll be in for some unintended consequences from that direction."

· the twin-headed monster - say something like "it's just like the Safe Schools thing - strange how both those initiatives have happened at the same time. They must think we're fools. Imagine our kids being taught cross-dressing in kindies and schools and not knowing who's in the toilet next to you (note - use other pithy examples too). And what about being taught gender-bending stuff and that it's actually OK to have two parents of the same sex - hardly the way to grow up a child is it?"

· fear of a secret agenda - say something like "whilst there seems to be a favourable case on the basis of rights for a small minority, on closer examination there looks like being a flood of unintended consequences that will infringe the rights of the majority and cause a significant change in our culture in the wrong direction. We're already sick and tired of being led down the garden path. At the end of the day it's the tail trying to wag the dog. How come 2% of the population can muster that sort of financial and political power? Smells like faceless people overseas have a bigger agenda. I don't think we're being told the full story."

(e) Plebiscite Swing

Aim - If a plebiscite ever happens we aim to cause there to be a significant swing for a NO vote, to make the politicians and the surrounding nations of the world ask " what just happened?". Then we can tell them.

See above notes on "Safe Schools" and "Same Sex marriage". Make them twin issues (see above)

(f) Sustainable Struggle for Change

We shall commit to unceasingly carry on with the mobilisation to see righteousness prevail, the vision restored, exponential growth in the Church, our nation restored and to be a witness to the nations. We shall see in our time the triumph of the Created Order over the soon to crumble New World Order and further tangible proof of the value of humbly relying on the blessing of Almighty God. The history of Australia can then be properly told to future generations who must learn for themselves the right way to live, rather than repeat the mistakes of those who have gone before.

Other Handouts:

· Attachment 7 - Election Strategy

· relevant Family Voice literature

· whatever happened to free speech?

6. PEOPLES GROUNDSWELL

Following hard on the heels of the fresh narrative outlined above, we must lead the people to see that this call and vision gets traction for reclaiming the heart and soul of Australia. We want our country back. This requires committed leadership at the local level following a decentralisation strategy in the Church and local community, orchestrating upwards through suburbs, towns, regions and cities. Only then might the media get on board. In the meantime we aim to own the conversation in the public square through word-of-mouth, which doesn't cost us anything except "blood, sweat and tears".

7. COMMISSIONING

· final prayer to commission the committed movers and shakers. Being in one place in one accord. Asking for the Spirit to fall.

· pray for those political leaders present who agree or substantially agree

· demonstrate that the Lion Has roared

· provide directions for hand-outs, political literature, websites , ministries etc

KEYWORDS >>>> people - god - unite

ATTACHMENT 6 - "National Reformation Manifesto"

This is the people's "design brief" for better government and repairing the nation.

(a) NATIONAL CHARACTER VALUES

A short-list of desirable qualities for the character and behaviour of politicians, public servants, public debate and media reporting (e.g. respect, tolerance, truthfulness, civic rights & responsibilities, positivism, public service, culture protection, individual accountability etc)

(b) CORE POLITICAL PLATFORM PRINCIPLES

The spearhead for people-led political change is a new narrative with 3 core constitution-honouring, nationalistic and patriotic themes - Decentralised Government; Economics for the public good; Heritage-based community development

1. DECENTRALISED GOVERNMENT

A return to Constitutional sovereignty via a "Constitution Restoration Act" to:

• remove all ungodly, divisive, nation-wrecking UN covenants, treaties and associated apparatus

• restore lost State sovereignty by devolution of authority and responsibility to achieve:

• zero duplication of services between State and Federal governments

• delegation of authority and responsibility to the lowest community level possible in order to overcome the disadvantages of big government and its often "once size fits all", wasteful, ideological and ineffective approach - meaning a bigger role for Local Government.

2. ECONOMIC INTIATIVES MUST MAXIMISE THE PUBLIC GOOD - A new economic rationale:

(a) To focus on creative and effective economic thinking and action for the material advancement of the public good rather than the enrichment of the few through unbridled self-interest and

(b) To accelerate advances in public infrastructure, science and technology for the common good and

(c) To unwind the takeover and destruction of Australia through monopolistic and/or speculative banking, globalisation, un-free trade, unwise privatisation and foreign ownership and the dismantling of our industrial capacity

3. HERITAGE-BASED COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT

Recognising that a strong, healthy, united culture can help drive strategy:

(a) we all will not allow our unique Aboriginal and Judeo-Christian heritage to be diminished by immigration, multi-culturalism, social engineering, divisive hate politics and threats to the family and children

(b) we all will encourage custodianship of this unique heritage so it is not lost for future generations

(d) we all commit to patriotic citizenship responsibility and hard work

(e) we all respect freedom of speech and religion

(f) we all disavow deception, intimidation and bullying of any kind

(g) we all insist on ethical and moral leadership

(h) we all work together to build community, social capital and volunteerism

(i) we all effectively harness the passion, creativity, energy and skills of all Australians
