Thanking the Lord as we Celebrate the 5th Anniversary of Court Case Victory for Freedom of Speech

Dear friends and family in Christ,

This morning I woke up early and started praising and thanking the Lord as I remembered that today 22nd June 2012 marks five years since we won the court case for Freedom of Speech & Religion in Australia.

This was certainly a land mark victory, after a five year battle first in the Lower Court (VCAT) and then the Supreme Court, where the Lord gave us the victory.

I still remember the long five years in the court room with forty days of hearings and a cost of $600,000, plus several death threats, fire bombing threats to my house and office, and also the threats to abduct my children from school. It was indeed a very challenging time, but praise God with the prayers, support of my fellow Aussies and God’s amazing grace, we came out victorious.

The court case which was brought against us by the Islamic Council of Victoria on charges of vilification was a completely ridiculous case, which proved that the Religious & Racial Vilification Laws of Victoria were a bad piece of legislation.

As a result of our court case, this bad law was thrown out of all the other states, and was amended in Vic.

A few months after we won the court case in 2007, I had the opportunity of meeting with the then Prime Minister John Howard, who I greatly admire as a real statesman.

In his office in Parliament he said, “Pastor, your victory for freedom of speech will now help us all and also the future generations to come. You have also set a precedence in the judiciary system. May I take this opportunity to officially thank you on behalf of the people of Australia as Prime Minister.”

Then he shook hands with me and I had the opportunity of praying with him.

Today, we thank God for this court case, as it has given us an amazing platform to launch Rise Up Australia Party to ‘Keep Australia Australian’ and the first official announcement was made exactly one year ago of RUA Party at the steps of VCAT in the city of Melbourne.

We also thank God today as our darling little girl turns 5 years today.

Brianna Hope was born on 22nd June 2007, the same day when the court case officially ended. Since our son is 23 and our other daughter is 20, Brianna was born after 15 years. It is a real miracle how she was born on the same day that the court case ended. We thank God for His great gift to us. Indeed, she is a real blessing.

My whole family will be on the tour of Israel and Sri Lanka. We leave tomorrow and are looking forward for a great time.  Thank you so very much for standing with us in this battle to see our nation Australia come back to Jesus. We will see Australia come back to Jesus.

Your bro in Christ,

Pr Daniel Nalliah

    Hi Pastor Danny,

    That is a wonderful praise report- Your stand for righteousness was indeed a courageous and Godly one and I was glad to have stood up for you and lobbied the Liberal members of parliament particularly over the dreadful racial and religious tolerance act. I remember my first meeting with Robert Doyle lasted about 5 minutes and then they grew longer as we got to know each other and as he began to see the implications of the act. I’m also well aware of what the content of the seminar was after hearing the judge play a lot of it in the courtroom and it was an excellent presentation by Pastor Scott.

    Praise God for the birth of your beautiful daughter- as to the date- our God’s timing is always perfect,

    Every Blessing,

    Pastor Peter

    Dear Ps Danny

    I thank my God in remembrance of you in my prayers, might man of God. It was such a privilege to meet you and be with you at the credentials service on 22nd April, just 2 months ago. I loved the RUA meeting on the Saturday and had a wonderful time in Hallam at CTFM with you all.

    Have a wonderful trip to Israel, they will be blessed having you there, and of course you will all be mightily blessed. I wish I could of come too, but maybe next year if you go I will come along. I have not been yet.

    I look forward to all the wonderful testimonies on your return. Have a wonderful time in Sri Lanka also. We have so much to thank Him for.

    Happy Birthday Brianna!!!

    Love and Blessings

    Dear brother Daniel,

    Thank you for reminding me again of God’s goodness and Grace. I remember those 5 years praying for you 2 Daniels. Believing always for the victory. You have real backbone and I believe that’s why God has chosen to use you at ‘such a time as this’ in Australia .
    I joined your party when you came to our church in Brisbane (Waterbrook) in Lawton. As I had made a commitment to teach at the Nanjing Medical University (China) from September 2011 – June 2013, I have not been in Australia this last year. Consequently, haven’t been in touch as much as I would have liked. I am returning to Brisbane on the 26th June and will be interested to know how the party is going?

    Do hope you have a well deserved holiday with your family.

    Kind regards,

    Shirley

    THE SHAKING BEGINS:

    The Lord awakened me on at 12.oo Mid – night on the 2nd of July (12 Tammuz) – not sure of the significance of date if any?- to pray for the nation. I began with personal repentance and moved into repenting for the Body. At his point a great coldness came over me – almost as thought the spirit of the Lord had left –but I still had a sense of his presence. I began to shake uncontrollably this went on for some minutes and became so violent that I went back to bed. I was not in fear but snuggled down and of course woke Heather up as I was still shaking. Together we rebuked the devil and all his minions but this made no difference no matter how hard we tried and I began to realise that this was the Lord at work. I began to pray in tongues and as I did so I became aware of the a terrible deep darkness covering the land. This darkness was so tangible it could be cut almost and he showed me this was full of despair and despondency. He said,” My body is to blame for this state of affairs as they pray not for My kingdom and live unrighteously in disobedience to my word and the call of the Spirit.” He then gave me this word.

    My son this is the shaking beginning, that I have promised in My word. Everything that is not of My kingdom and My plan for this dispensation will be shaken out of My Ecclesia. He used this word rather than church. No life will be unaffected by this. No person, no institution, no ministry, no entity operating in My Name will be exempt. It will begin in My body with individuals and move to the corporate as they become infected with My Spirits thrust. It is preparation for that which I deem to bring forth. Even as the Daystar arises each day so will the regularity of my shaking proceed till all unrighteousness is removed from my People. (Ecclesia.) Everything associated therewith will go and I will have a purified body, walking in MY WAYS. This shaking will not only remove obvious sin but will align My People with My will by removing distractions. All those things that prevent My people from flowing in the fullness of My Plans, that will prepare them for the next season. I AM determined to have a more effective body in this nation, focussed on My Kingdom and building It rather than on building the church and related works which may seem to be of Me but have proved to be fleshly and devilish in the outworking as the hearts of men have become corrupt and self centred.
    Rise up, Rise up My people – put off all that would hinder and obey the voice of My Spirit as you are spoken to. Rise up and align yourself with My word and My Spirit in this season.

    As this shaking continued I began to flow into a vision of the lost with an accompanying burden for them.

    The Lord has instructed me to share the rest of this at a later date.

    Trust this blesses you and encourages you to seek His face more often and more sincerely than ever before.

    Please send this on to all you deem would benefit from its instruction This is a word for the nation. Bro Rob’t.
