Ministry claims Jesus turned up in person at conference wearing crowns and healed people
Making the claim in a Facebook post titled “King Jesus Appeared with Crowns!!” David Vaka, a regional minister, pastor and leadership speaker known for his work in Australia, claims Jesus showed up “in person” during a conference held at New Life Church in Australia, but did not provide any evidence to support such a claim.
“God did something beyond words last night,” the ministry revealed on Sunday.
“Not only did He give the Rhema Word, but the King of Glory Himself turned up in person. He appeared with a massive crown and steadily moved across the room, crowning people with kingly authority and power.”
The ministry claims, “people encountered the tangible presence of the King. He was healing, delivering, aligning, and setting people free while crowning them with glory.”
“I have seen angels appear and minister to people on many occasions, but this was the first time I have seen the King of Kings, the King of Glory, descend with such power as He did last night,” Vaka declared through his ministry while explaining that he believes Jesus appeared because “He is serious about building the Sunshine Coast into a Kingdom City.”
Vaka did not respond to a request for comment from The Christian Post on Tuesday. Rory O'Donnell, a critic of the claim, asked the ministry on Facebook if there was any video available of Jesus’ appearance at the conference.
ROAR Leaders Summit replied: “Next time, turn up in the meeting and see for yourself. It’s much better than photos!!”
According to the Ankerberg Theological Research Institute in Chattanooga, Tennessee, the Bible lists only 12 personal appearances of Jesus on Earth post-resurrection. This includes a post-ascension interaction with the Apostle Paul on the road to Damascus. The Apostle Paul only saw a bright light and heard a voice.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
