Scott Morrison

The former Prime Minister gave a speech at the Victory Life Centre in Perth over the weekend, which is a Pentecostal church run by tennis star Margaret Court.

“Do you believe that if you lose an election that God still loves you and has a plan for you? We don’t trust in United Nations, thank goodness,” Morrison said in the Sunday sermon. Believe me, I’ve worked in it, and they are important.

Former prime minister Scott Morrison popped up to give a sermon at a church over the weekend. Five words in his speech said it all.

Once, when gay men and women lived in constant fear of being ostracised or worse, Ms Court would have been in the majority. The reality is, we do need to trust in government to an extent. Mr Morrison spent much of the recent election campaign defending a virulently anti-trans candidate, Katherine Deves, from criticism. That means we cannot rely on Him/Her/It/Them to fix things for us; we must do it ourselves. And our leaders, who are elected to do just that, must do so with a sense of urgency. And that is just in this country. “But as someone who’s been in it, if you are putting your faith in those things like I put my faith in the Lord, you are making a mistake. We don’t trust in the United Nations, thank goodness. Is he going to end poverty, and violence against women? He argued that faith, and a belief in God’s plan, was the answer. We trust in him. It is in his hands.

I do - because I still believe in miracles,' he told the congregation. We felt He had a bigger plan.' 'We don't trust in governments. 'I thank you Father that Mr Morrison be re-elected 2022, that he has favour and influence on his life to take this nation through these uncharted times, that this nation be known as the Great Southern land of the holy spirit, in Jesus' name.' In a video posted to social media, she asked they come together in prayer for Mr Morrison during the uncertain times and cited the upcoming election. Mr Morrison also revealed how he had shouted at the heavens in New Zealand after 10 courses of IVF had failed him and his wife Jenny as they tried to start a family. Mr Morrison - sporting his new short and balding hairstyle - appeared in good spirits as he mingled with the guests and thanked 'Christians around the country' for their prayers over the past four years. That was wrong.' We don't trust in the United Nations, thank goodness. It can be debilitating, it can be agony. 'Scott Morrison was afforded a lot of cover for his fundamental beliefs while he was in office,' she said in a post that was liked 2,000 times and retweeted almost 300 times. He told the congregation anxiety was 'Satan's plan' for Australians and that they should trust God, not governments, in a wide-ranging, hour-long sermon.

Former Australian prime minister Scott Morrison gave us a fascinating new insight into his worldview on Sunday as he spoke at a church in Western Australia.

Once, when gay men and women lived in constant fear of being ostracised or worse, Court would have been in the majority. The reality is, that we do need to trust in government to an extent. That means we cannot rely on Him/Her/It/Them to fix things for us; we must do it ourselves. Morrison spent much of the recent election campaign defending a virulently anti-trans candidate, Katherine Deves, from criticism. And our leaders, who are elected to do just that, must do so with a sense of urgency. That most basic and essential of services can only be provided by the government. Or shall we try to fix the problem ourselves? "But as someone who's been in it, if you are putting your faith in those things like I put my faith in the Lord, you are making a mistake. Is he going to end poverty, and violence against women? He argued that faith, and a belief in God's plan, were the answer. We don't trust the United Nations, thank goodness. It is in his hands.

The former prime minister says he's glad to have a "bigger hope" than politicians during speech centred on anxiety and mental health.

We don't trust in United Nations, thank goodness," Mr Morrison said. In 2019, against the odds, Mr Morrison led the Coalition to federal election victory in what he described as a "miracle". He said Australia was "not a secular country" but a "free country" where people had the freedom to hold any faith they choose. The comments came in a speech centred on anxiety and mental health in the community, an issue Mr Morrison said he was concerned about "as a Member of Parliament". He said God understood anxiety was part of the human condition and pointed to stories in the Bible — such as Mary's pregnancy with Jesus — as evidence "he gets it, he understands it, he sees you". "We trust in Him. We don't trust in governments.

The former prime minister delivered a 50-minute sermon, warning churchgoers to put their faith in God above all else.

“Do you believe that if you lose an election that God still loves you and has a plan for you? The MP also told the crowd he believed that after the Coalition’s election defeat, God had a plan for his future. We don’t trust in the United Nations, thank goodness,” he said. We don’t trust in governments. We trust in him. The former prime minister delivered the call to action as part of a 50-minute speech on Sunday, which coincided with former tennis player Margaret Court’s 80th birthday.

Australians' trust in government has been in decline for years. But if we can't find a way to have faith in our elected leaders, well, God help us.

Be as tough on the party you voted for as you were on the one you despised. Our trust bounced when we elected this lot, led by Anthony Albanese. Cameron of Griffith says it’s typical for us to express hope and enthusiasm for the future when we elect a new government and don’t just give another chance to the old crew. In 2013 when we elected Tony Abbott, our faith had been destroyed during the whole Rudd-Gillard-Rudd mayhem of 2007 to 2013 – backstabbing, factionalism, pointless tribalism. Research from the Australian Election Study reveals when we elected Scott Morrison’s government in 2019, Australians had the lowest levels of political trust on record, says Sarah Cameron, researcher at Griffith University and an Australian expert in the way we feel about politicians and the political process. Most of the others all thought politicians were in it for themselves or to represent vested interests. The former prime minister told congregants at Margaret Court’s Victory Life Centre in Perth on Sunday not to trust in governments and that it would be a mistake to put trust in our political leaders rather than in God. Look, he’s had this vibe before.
