…Upholding all things by the Word of His power…Heb 1:3
As a true blue Aussie it is with a deeply thankful heart that I join with you in the spiritual battle to win Australia’s God given destiny and rejoice exceedingly Father God’s mercy for sending you and your loved ones to our shores. For indeed the fire of prayer and repentance has been fanned immensely in this land since your trumpet calls began to impact the body of Christ and your fearless stand for righteousness in Jesus is immensely appreciated.
So I pen these lines asking God to encourage your heart concerning the truth He has shown you re: governmental leadership in this nation and I pray your strong faith and mission will be even more strengthened as you declare the words of wisdom and counsel from the Throne Room. For in my appointed hidden place of prayer it seems we are hearing the same word brother and in sharing with my dear friend Sonia and also Janice in a recent dream about John Howard they both feel I should share this with you. And every dream God has given me regarding political matters in Australia and other nations has come to pass.
And concerning our current P.M. I would mention that in 1990 while praying with a sister in the Lord, that the Spirit of travail moved me with supplications and weeping for new government in the land and I heard myself speaking forth that John Howard was God’s chosen vessel to lead Australia as P.M. This took me by surprise as I had no political aptitude and from time to time as the Lord has caught me to lay hold of the intercessions of His Spirit has He imparted some very interesting dreams visions, words concerning how to pray etc in this vital area of need. So John Howard is very much our God-appointed leader – ‘There was a man sent from God and his name was John’ (Jn 1:6) – and he will give the leadership mantle to Peter Costello. Praise Jesus. And when on 30.7.07 I was driving past Mt. Beerwah in Queensland (aboriginal legend a mother mountain with womb) the Spirit of God suddenly moved me to cry out in the loud aboriginal like tongue followed by the shouting our several times of ‘The Honorable Peter Costello, Prime Minister elect of Australia’, I get really excited when both Sonia and Janice sent me a copy of your email advising of your personal meetings with the P.M. and Treasurer and prophetically preparing Peter Costello. Glory to God. Jesus is having His way as we obey His every leading and it is a wonderful thing how He causes His body to move and agree in oneness even when we are not aware of what other members are being shown or led to do prophetically.
So God shall not be silent nor still nor slumbering as He mobilizes His praying army that we may stand as one living organism to embrace our God destiny and inheritance in Jesus Christ, that we may as one voice and one heart lift up our awesome God in that highest place of worship proclaiming eternal Lordship of our King Jesus. All praise and honour and glory and power and dominion and wisdom and blessings be unto Him forever. Hallelujah to the Lamb.
Please find attached a few snippets of confirmation that the Holy Spirit has personally given to me and being in a place of separation from the mainstream church often with no TV nor access to secular or Christian media and having never experienced the blessings of attending a Catch The Fire Prayer meeting there has been little outside influence or input. Sonia has sometimes mentioned to me by phone a prayer need as you have shared your prayerful heart and this year Janice has been knit to me and has also shared occasionally.
In closing I would share dear Pastor that I asked the Lord for a word of confirmation before sending info to you and He clearly gave me 1 Sam 16 which in turning to scripture I found the precious portion of Samuel sent to prophetically anoint God’s chosen king. Exactly that which the Lord gave you. Also Daniel of excellent spirit – Dan 5:12.
So thank you Pastor Danny for your brotherly leadership and love and praying blessings abundantly to you and your lovely family.
Sincerely in His grace and truth,
(original hand written and signed by Karen)
Dan 2: 19-23
P.S. Yesterday I was seeing in the Spirit Jesus visiting Peter Costello. Jesus was preparing his priestly role and as Peter Costello stood in black suite (legal) Jesus began to pull away from his garments invisible threads of law and religion. Zech 3 comes to mind where Joshua is reclothed aright. Then Peter Costello is seated and Jesus stands in front of him and puts His hands on Peter Costello’s shoulders and then standing from behind Jesus again puts His hands on Peter Costello’s shoulders but I notice the right hand has fingers and thumb spread out. This signifying 5 members and in the 5th term for coalition, the governmental leadership will be on Peter Costello’s shoulders. Current prayer need on my heart is the new Treasurer to stand with Peter Costello as P.M.
Dream: John Howard victory - 16.8.07
John Howard is standing alone on a flat concrete area at the edge of a road, which is to his left side. He stands like a sentinel, upright, unashamed, face steadfast to the east, a picture of strength. He wears a suit in a softish shade, not a heavy colour and I notice how white and bright is his shirt, like blinding white and not a crease or wrinkle. He is not ruffled in anyway but in order. I point him out to Sonia who is standing at my left side in the dream as we watch.
Then suddenly Kevin Rudd walks into the scene at a sharp (like a projected fired arrow) angle from the south east and approaches John Howard. Kevin Rudd stands right in front of John Howard’s face wearing a noticeably black suit. A heavy discussion and exchange of words takes place and I bid Sonia to walk with me past these men as I want to hear what is said. I hear very heated words and comment to Sonia as we cross the road to the other side and stand in rest at some newly laid stone steps edged in 2 large blocks of rectangular cut stone. The stone work is highly polished, a creamy sand colour and I notice sparkles of gold shining in the sunlight. Five steps lead to a large level platform of the same polished stone, the work is new fresh, just completed and therefore there is not blemish or elemental erosion. In fact I am aware that no one has yet walked up these steps and Sonia and I stand at the base as if ready to ascend
Looking back to where John Howard is standing, we notice Kevin Rudd begins to withdraw – walking backwards (retreating) on the same path that he entered to confront John Howard I thin of a movie playing in reverse and as Kevin Rudd does withdraw he lifts up his right arm to John Howard and repeatedly points his fingers while yelling angrily back at John Howard. While Kevin Rudd reacts, John Howard stands untouched, unmoved, unflinched, face steadfast to the east. Job 5:12
Basically dream speaks for itself but just noting that - Sonia and I stood as watchmen and ushers for John Howard’s ascension to 5th term in office. It will be a crossing over and way of cross into a new work. A new foundation laid – strong, immoveable (denoted by the cut stone blocks and stone surface). In this term Kingly leadership in Costello (gold sparkles) will be revealed. Changes.
Part of word given 18.6.07 - And know I have chosen a cup of blessing for this land that My purposes prevail, that the nations be impacted and I say…
… this cup of blessing is the form of a man yea the current Treasurer of government even Peter Costello. For from before the moment he was conceived in his mother’s womb I sealed him a cup for Australia. That he might carry My portion for the nation, even the free flow of the wealth of My Spirit, that as a nation Australia might move from youth to sonship carrying My Father heart and covering to the nations of this world. For even as natural fires have burned fiercely in this land yea this great southland so shall the fires of My Spirit burn and the brightness and glory of the burning shall be seen in the north and uttermost parts yea these shall feel the warmth of the fire of My heart’s love. For by fire have I also been preparing a nation to go in My Name, in this end time yea a nation a people, a body tried and found true.
And Peter Costello is a stone I try in the fire, even the strange fires of political ploy and government set up/ cover up where men seek control, power, reputation, acclaim. And though I hear the murmurs of those who shake their heads in disapproval speaking cursing on Costello, yet I say repent of your words and thoughts and turn around to take hold of My revealed will. For I do not look on the external and outward appearances as is the way of men and media but ear, I look up the heart which I have been quietly watching over and patiently preparing, that Peter Costello’s heart might be broken to be available and able to lead Australia as father leads and guides and gives legacy to his son. So I say pray earnestly for this man, pray for this chosen vessel who carries My prophetic seal as governmental leader over Australia for I confirm that My choice counsel has been spoken over Peter Costello yea he is ordained as gateway for a great move of My Spirit in Terra Australis.
And I say further that there has been a shaking upon John Howard yea a loosening yea a loosening, loosening of the prime ministerial mantle yea a transition is taking place to affix the leadership of Australia, the headship upon Peter Costello as My pillar to uphold the building of spiritual inheritance and future blessing. But beware My beloved for the unrighteous elders sit at Australia’s gateway as wolves in sheep’s clothing who are envoys of Anti-Christ seeking to block, to usurp God’s destiny, to enslave. For know that deception comes with charismatic appeal and I cry out to My charismatic people who hear not My Voice at this time yea I blow trumpets from Zion’s holy hill to awaken you to the prophetic voice of My sent ones. For a monumental move is required in manifesting maturity and making right choices. That you be not seduced by political propaganda for know your moral and spiritual future is at stake in a big way therefore a big against darkness swing is required to keep your destiny of blessing on track.
So I would warn that carnal men of the likes of Nimrod are polishing up a man of smoothness like unto a white marble column. And this column having no power in himself but empowered and fuelled by forces unseen with intent to rule. For Fabian Communists (Socialism) seek to set this column erect into the fabric of governmental leadership yea I say, this column would seal and uphold a false tabernacle of covering over Australia. For this column would also effect a 7 fold stronghold of political strength over the land, such strength which would usher in Anti-Christ dominion very hard to break. For it would take decades of great suffering and incurred persecution to redirect the cause of righteousness due to the devastating blow of the beast should this column be set in place.
Oh hear the wisdom of God who has given you keys of authority to bind and lose that the gates of hell not prevail in Australia. For this column of communistic thrust is a clever and cunning structure but it is a gateway of hell which would open wide the access of enemy influence which has been held back through the refusal of My interceding body binding enemy infiltration. And I say to my prayer warriors – smash, smash, smash this column of unrighteousness, of sorcery, yes smash it to nought for it is not so much a man, who is a puppet, but the high places of string pulling and control behind the man which needs to be dismantle. That the column would be rubble and as refuse for such a column would indeed cause great strife and instability in the land, but the pillar I would choose to raise up, to erect is the one that would steer Australia’s building into My tabernacle of blessing as a first born son. And I proclaim that Peter Costello is this pillar, yea, the pillar I would build with, in the building of My spiritual infrastructure which would not fall.
Also on my heart: -
Unmasking the bandit revealing the true face of enemy set up against the land.
Labour leadership would loose a spirit of infirmity over Australia causing the people to weighed down with a very heavy yoke – oppressor.
Do we want God’s judgment or those by man? Judgments of God are tempered with mercy and would come through Costello leadership whereas the judgments of men fuelled by hell fire would come through Rudd leadership. Compromises with Islam would also take place with Labour.
Costello represents our move from youth to SONSHIP, submission to Father’s will, covering mantle and protection of Father God.
Rudd represents immature decision patterns, disobedience, rebellion against God, illegitimacy and not able to come into God’s temple/presence. No protective covering of God, no Father blessing, gateways that have been closed would open unto all unrighteousness (eg legal gay marriages)
*Previous visions
- Peter Costello wearing Kingly crown
- Rudd wearing a gold flat laurel leaf headpiece like a Roman Caesar
spirit of Rome - A Saul, people’s favourite (saw this after his appointment to Labour leadership and sudden rise to popularity).
- Rudd as a marionette puppet controlled by unseen string pulling men of darkness behind the black curtain.
* Prov 6:31 Finding out the thief who must repay 7 fold. I think of the finding out of the thief’s set up to stranglehold with 7 fold Labour stronghold over nation. Advice from a sister re: Pastor Danny’s 7 fold call to prayer on 7.7.07 speaks also.
* Need to cut off the words ‘DOWN UNDER’ as reference to Australia.
Not just a geographical colloquial has spiritual undercurrents of false identity.
Down is put down/ kept down, poor – image, identity crisis/ confusion, underdog, depression, melancholy – suicide
Down is also Downs Syndrome product of incest. Break incest and its foundation over Australia
Down under underworld, Hades, god of underworld – chains, imprisoned spirit like unto convict/ penal punishments, darkness. Break hold.
2005 word portion
I stand hand in hand in the front line for also My purposes in Peter Costello would be realized as the work of brokenness takes effect in his heart, for what man can uphold a broken nation except one who is broken himself and whose heart is tender towards Me? So breakings come to him and breakings come to the churches and breakings come to the nation and those of My broken body, My Calvary identifiers, My Cross upholders shall stand with Me as My wisdom has way as out of the brokenness a nation of righteousness shall arise. For I have my first fruits, sheaf in the land of which you are grains in the head, and through the work of brokenness shall a harvest be reaped in My Name. For indeed My Spirit comes but to a broken and repentant people, for pride and rebellion cannot woo the Heart of God and yet Australians are precious to Me and so I come to embrace the land as conditions are made ready for My prophesied coming with great grace.
2005
Australia and she is a passage to bring with her sons free of mother control. For the current leader of Australia bears an element of fathering over the people but the next chosen vessel I would call forth, the man Peter Costello though younger in age, yet deeper in spirit and being prepared as a leader of rigtheousness. For it shall be in his time that a great move of My Spirit shall flood the land.
Also in 2005
You would also stand to block a leadership challenge by Peter Costello who is itchy to take the helm. For I would send to him spokesman warning him to respect the anointing in his leader John Howard, to not rise up by arrogance and impatience to contend, for if he does I say he will divide a united party and bring down God appointed covering over a land of destiny. For like David who honoured My anointing on Saul, though he (Saul) warred in the flesh; yet was he (David) a wise young man waiting My hour for his kingship. For it came by My decree and grace and yet was he to bear much affliction and even persecutions from his leader, envy, jealousies and wild slanderous outbursts, even attempts to kill David as David waited My hour and refused to take over by his own arm, the promised throne. For while David was already anointed to be king as a God – chosen vessel, yet another are anointed occupied the position of king whom David fully respected because of My oil on Saul’s head and so…
Praise God for his Word, His mercy, His love! Praise God for your faithfulness to Him and your boldness in proclaiming His Word.

Praise God. The prophetic word is a balm to my spirit. I have been praying with my family every day that John Howard wins this election and the prophetic word rings true. Amen, so be it, Lord Jesus.
I am just really interested in what God is doing!!
Thank heavens God loves us
God’s appointed man will stand in leadership over Australia.
God doesn’t make mistakes. Is this our country’s start down the very slippery slope of immorality to the end times?
Watcher
We have failed Him. The Godless have been elected. We did not pray with enough self-sacrifice and fervour.
I feel now that this is His will, His challange to us. Over the coming years we must be strong and continue to spread the word of His Love.
Dear Pastor Danny, although the election was not won, we will continue to trust God that He knows more than we know. Though we are all extremely disappointed, we have to fix our eyes on Jesus. The Bible tells us that we are going to face hard times and that the Antichrist is permitted to ‘overcome the saints’ for a time. Now is the time to hold on and pray that we are able to stand firm.
Dear Karen,
I wish to take issue with you on two grounds. Firstly the Bible makes it clear how we are to know if a message is from the Lord - “You may say to yourselves, “How can we know when a message has not been spoken by the Lord?” If what a prophet proclaims in the name of the Lord DOES NOT TAKE PLACE OR COME TRUE, THAT IS A MESSAGE THE LORD HAS NOT SPOKEN. That prophet has spoken presumptuously. Do not be afraid of him.” (Deut.18:21-22) (My emphasis by the way)
We are also given a strong warning concerning prophesy, “But a prophet who presumes to speak in my name anything I have not commanded him to say, or a prophet who speaks in the name of other gods, must be put to death” (Deut. 18:20) - I know, it’s the “Old Testament” but it is the word of God - I am not suggesting we stone anyone who screws up on a prophesy, but if we took this seriously before opening our mouths, it would save a lot of pain and confusion.
With respect, God always knows the end from the beginning, and any word that is from Him will always be accurate. Unfortunately, we are easily able to place our own desires (however noble their foundation may be) in such a place that we actually fail to hear accurately from God, and confuse our wishes with His words.
When this happens, it is appropriate for us to acknowledge our error, not blame others who didn’t pray hard enough or similar, and repent of our false prophesy, and seek the face of God that we might hear more accurately in the future. I believe it is also wise to run prophesies past some other mature believers in order to obtain the witness of the Spirit concerning what has been heard.
We do not do the Church or it’s mission any service when we screw up like this, particularly when we then hold fast to our original (false) message. A number of cults have arisen as a result of their respective leaders given false prophesies, which failed to materialise, and then building a doctrine upon a lie rather than admitting the truth, we just got it wrong. I suspect that the usual motivation for this occuring is good old fashioned Pride.
During the last Election I personally found it difficult to know how to pray, I knew I wanted John Howard to win, however something in me was saying that this would not happen. I am not sure whether God has given us as a Nation “the desires of our (corporate) heart” or not, however I am sure of one thing, Australia’s problems are not going to be solved by political means, the issues are entirely spiritual.
The solution is in the hands of God’s people, the Church. It is time for us to stop stuffing around with religion (pardon the expression, but I am sure God is angry with much of what we do) , and start being obedient, and taking the Gospel to the nation, to those who are perishing.
Now I wish to take strong issue with you regarding your ignorant statements concerning Down Syndrome.
I suggest that you get your facts right, and try and get rid of some singularly offensive prejudices which you obviously hold.
Firstly some facts - (Source - The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development)
Down Syndrome
Named after John Langdon Down, the first physician to identify the syndrome, Down syndrome is the most frequent genetic cause of mild to moderate mental retardation and associated medical problems and occurs in one out of 800 live births, in all races and economic groups. Down syndrome is a chromosomal disorder caused by an error in cell division that results in the presence of an additional third chromosome 21 or “trisomy 21.”
The Chromosomal Basis of Down Syndrome
To understand why Down syndrome occurs, the structure and function of the human chromosome must be understood. The human body is made of cells; all cells contain chromosomes, structures that transmit genetic information. Most cells of the human body contain 23 pairs of chromosomes, half of which are inherited from each parent. Only the human reproductive cells, the sperm cells in males and the ovum in females, have 23 individual chromosomes, not pairs. Scientists identify these chromosome pairs as the XX pair, present in females, and the XY pair, present in males, and number them 1 through 22.
When the reproductive cells, the sperm and ovum, combine at fertilization, the fertilized egg that results contains 23 chromosome pairs. A fertilized egg that will develop into a female contains chromosome pairs 1 through 22, and the XX pair. A fertilized egg that will develop into a male contains chromosome pairs 1 through 22, and the XY pair. When the fertilized egg contains extra material from chromosome number 21, this results in Down syndrome.
THE GENETIC VARIATIONS THAT CAN CAUSE DOWN SYNDROME
Three genetic variations can cause Down syndrome. In most cases, approximately 92% of the time, Down syndrome is caused by the presence of an extra chromosome 21 in all cells of the individual. In such cases, the extra chromosome originates in the development of either the egg or the sperm. Consequently, when the egg and sperm unite to form the fertilized egg, three–rather than two–chromosomes 21 are present. As the embryo develops, the extra chromosome is repeated in every cell. This condition, in which three copies of chromosome 21 are present in all cells of the individual, is called trisomy 21.
I have recently remarried, and my new wife has a son with Down Syndrome, he is growing into a fine young man, has a strong relationship with Jesus, and is a great credit to my wife and his sisters and the support he has had throughout his life.
Before making misguided statements as you have in your (clearly well intentioned) prophesy, you might like to consider the following scripture :- “The Lord said to him, “Who gave man his mouth? Who makes him deaf or mute? Who gives him sight or makes him blind? IS IT NOT I, THE LORD? Now go, I will help you to speak and teach you what to say” (Ex. 4:11-12) I suggest that God is making it very clear that when a person is born with a disability it has been done through the very hand of God!! We would do well to consider this soberly when contemplating how to relate to people who are “different”
I pray that you might accept this rebuke in the spirit in which it is given, and that the Lord “will help you to speak, and teach you what to say”
Wishing you God’s favour and blessing,
Sean W.
