Australia’s Largest Christian News Site

You are invited to Breakthrough NSW, a prayer and worship vigil to be held this Saturday as we pray for the NSW election.

Join with us as we hold a 24/7 Prayer and Worship Vigil for the NSW state election. The election will be held on the 25th March, 2023. Like other Australians, the people of NSW have been through some very difficult times over the last few years. We need to stand together with our brothers and sisters in Christ in NSW and believe together for a spiritual breakthrough in the upcoming election.

The vigil is called Breakthrough NSW and will be made up of 25.5 hours of continuous prayer, praise and worship from 7.30pm Friday 17th March to 9pm Saturday 18th March, 2023. You can join us anytime throughout the event, using Zoom room 776881184 or the Zoom link https://zoom.us/j/776881184.

As John Donne, the famous Christian poet said, “No man is an island.” Neither is any state. What happens in one state will affect the other states. We need to pray for each other in our hour of need.

The State of the Major Parties in NSW

Sadly, the current NSW Liberal government, under the influence of dark forces within the party and the culture, passed late-term abortion laws, and more recently, euthanasia laws. Corruption in their leadership helped destroy any vestige of popularity with their own supporters. The current Liberal government is even proposing draconian “anti-conversion therapy” laws to further restrict religious freedom in this already hard-pressed state.

According to the Christian Values Checklist, the Labor government is worse again. The polls indicate a likely win by Labor in the upcoming NSW election. Unfortunately, both the major parties are lurching to the dark side. This is causing increasing injustice in NSW. Martin Luther King Jr was right to say, “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly.”

(To help the people of NSW make an informed decision, our sister organisation, the Australian Christian Values Institute, has produced the Christian Values Checklist for the NSW election. We ask you to share the Christian Values Checklist with your friends in NSW, and pray for God to guide the people of NSW as they vote. To download your own copy click here).

Faith Like King Jehoshaphat’s

The story of King Jehoshaphat overcoming the invaders of ancient Israel by giving praise to God in the face of almost certain defeat gives us hope in our prayers. It also gives us a scriptural foundation for our Breakthrough NSW prayer event:

Then… Jahaziel the Levite said, ‘Listen, all you of Judah and you inhabitants of Jerusalem, and you, King Jehoshaphat! Thus says the Lord to you: ‘Do not be afraid nor dismayed because of this great multitude, for the battle is not yours, but God’s… for the Lord is with you…’

And when he (Jehoshaphat) had consulted with the people, he appointed those who should sing to the Lord, and who should praise the beauty of holiness, as they went out before the army and were saying:

‘Praise the Lord, For His mercy endures forever.’

Now when they began to sing and to praise, the Lord set ambushes against the people of Ammon, Moab, and Mount Seir, who had come against Judah; and they were defeated.”

– 2 Chronicles 20:14-22
