New Zealand Prophecy by Dr Jonathan David, 15th Nov 2011
Video and transcript of prophecy below
Born from a staunch Hindu Background, Dr. Jonathan David grew up knowing a deep spiritual hunger for God. His Paternal grandfather was a musician in the Hindu temple and his maternal grandfather was particularly involved in the Hindu funeral rites. The young Jonathan David used to serve them both during his school holidays in his primary school years. In his own words, “I served the living and the dead.”
He became born again at the age of 13 in a Brethren Church on Good Friday in 1972. He became water-baptized the same year on December the 16th. An intense persecution arose when it became known that he became a Christian. This made it impossible for him to go to church or even read the bible. The Bibles he had were confiscated by his father and most times torn and once burnt. When his father learned how expensive bibles were, he traded it for a reduction in tuition fees for young Jonathan with the tuition teacher. Dr. Jonathan David was baptized in the Holy Spirit on 19th August 1976 and began to walk supernaturally into the prophetic dimension. In the years of persecution that followed his conversion, the Lord opened up a meaningful consciousness of His presence that allowed young Jonathan to find comfort and strength in His Presence.
In his own words, “These times of intense persecution by my father, my relatives, and community shaped my life and formed my character. It made me determined to follow Jesus to the end. I discovered God as my Father and this revelation changed me forever.”
At the age of 19 (1978) he was already involved in four different outreaches each week and by age 20 he was in full-time ministry pioneering the church in Muar, Johor, Malaysia. In the course of 41 years as a Christian and 33 years as a minister, Dr. Jonathan David saw both his parents saved and even his mother baptized in the Holy Spirit.

New Zealand Prophecy by Dr Jonathan David, 15th Nov 2011
“Behold a new day is coming upon us; a new day for New Zealand; a new day for a company of people who are ready, seeking, waiting for the Lord. It is the breaking of a new day. I see the rising sun of a new day beginning to break out on the horizon. There will be bright light that will begin to push away the darkness.
Everything that has been held back, in the Name of Jesus, let light arise. Let the Son of God, the Son of righteousness arise with healing in His wings. Sweep across this nation O Lord, sweep across this nation we exalt You. The islands exalt You; the nation of New Zealand exalts You; the Pacific Islands exalt You. O let Australia, Asia, the Pacific rim exalt You O Lord. You’re the Lord of fires, the Lord of Glory, the Lord of Light, the Lord of Truth, we declare this today.
I am going to read some scriptures and then declare to you what the prophetic word is accordance with what has been said.
Luke chapter 10:1
Now after this the Lord appointed seventy others, and sent them two and two ahead of Him to every city and place where He Himself was going to come.
You remember the first time Jesus sent out the 12? This is the second company of people He sent; 70 were sent the second time. I am going to prophesy to you that there is a new generation rising in the nations of Australasia and the Pacific region. The Holy Spirit is raising a whole new company. I believe God has given this generation a mandate to carry on into a new dimension. A generation that is rising by the power of the Holy Ghost; that will receive a fresh mandate, a mandate that was given to the early fathers and that came to a standstill; the revelation that God had given to them to come out of Egypt into the wilderness, out of the wilderness into the Promised Land. They came to a certain point in their life that they went as far as they wanted and they stopped. You can find this many in many nations of the world; that the first generation hears it and receives it, but they have no capacity to continue to reinvent themselves; to enter in.
But God is saying to us in New Zealand in this hour that there is a new generation that is going to receive the mandate. The same mandate He gave to the older generation; there is a new generation rising; that will receive the same mandate, the same purpose. Even as He has been with Moses, so will He be with this Joshua generation that will enter into the Promised Land.
He will give them the same authority, the same power, the same grace that He first gave to the forefathers in this land. In the same way that He raised them and used them, this generation is going to rise and God is going to grant to this generation the same mandate. He is not going to change His plan, His purpose for this nation, because the plan and purpose of God for New Zealand is the same as when He first started. God has not changed to plan B, has not changed to plan C; it is the same plan that He had planned that He is going to give to this second generation that is rising.
I see all across this region; the generation is rising. Some were born in the nation; others are going to come from outside the nation to receive the mandate. Some are in the camp, some are outside the camp (two of them were outside the camp, 68 were inside the camp) but I am telling you that God is going to put the same spirit He placed upon one, He’s going to place upon the other. The same way you’ve seen others have been raised, the same way you saw the early forefathers in this nation raised, God is going to give the same mandate to this generation. They maybe not as powerful and as well-known as the first generation of mighty apostles with names (the original 12) but these were the 70 without names and God is saying, “I am going to raise up a nameless company within this nation and give them the same mandate”.
You think this is different because the ones with names; the ones had been set apart for three and a half years to be apostles of the land; but these ones, these 70, were given the same mandate as the ones who had names and were officially called as apostles; but God is saying, “I am going to raise this second generation who are a nameless, faceless generation; but I am going to use them in the same mighty way that I used the forefathers”. God has shown what He has done in the past, He is going to repeat it in common people. He is going to repeat the cycle in the common people; with no name; no fame; no, nothing what-so-ever. But those who trust the mandate will begin to see great exploits done. The only Name that you will place upon the board is the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ because you won’t have a face. His face is what they will see, you won’t have a name, His Name is what they will glorify and this is the reason this generation will not fail Him.
This new generation that God is raising up will not fail Him because God is going to come mightily. He is not going to teach this generation to travel one by one, He is going to teach them to travel two by two so that they will realise there is a corporate anointing and a corporate grace. You will not be a one man show. You will not be a company of people who think that they can do it by themselves without their brothers, but the anointing will come in the midst of the brothers.
The anointing is going to come in a powerful way like it did in the life of David, in the midst of his brothers; like the life of Joseph, in the midst of his brothers. So God is going to do the same work in the way it came upon Jesus; that God anointed Him with the joy of gladness in the midst of His brothers; because he loved righteousness and hated iniquity.
God is going to show this generation that they are going to receive the same mandate; yet at the same time they are going to walk hand in hand with others; they will not be individualistic, selfishness will not be found inside them; because they are going to be a nameless faceless generation and their agenda will not be about themselves. That’s why they will have the ability to work with each other, to cooperate with each other; they will be sent out two by two. There were 35 teams that Jesus sent out. In this supernatural way, they will be a major influence on the regions round about. I believe the Spirit of God is saying that this generation will have the ability to work hand in hand; not like the former generation that He raised up in New Zealand when everybody wanted to run his stream, everybody wanted to run his way, everybody wanted to run on his own, everybody wanted to build a tabernacle for himself. That selfish generation has passed away; they have died in the wilderness. There is a circumcision that is coming upon this new generation that God is circumcising their hearts; giving them an ability to realise that they are not to be led by their own name, by their own fame; but that they are going to rise up in a supernatural way and desire to work hand in hand so that they can finish the plans and purposes of God.
Whatever instruction is going to come upon them, they are going to have the ability to listen to; because they are willing to fight, not for their own agenda but for the Word of God to become real in their hearts. Just like the generation that stood at Gilgal, this generation is standing at Gilgal ready to possess the Promised Land. On this side is this generation, on the other side is the Promised Land; there is only a wall between this generation and the full possession of a revival that’s going to break out on New Zealand.
Only the walls are standing. The walls are standing to keep the enemy at bay; the walls are not standing to prevent you from entering in. The Lord would say, “Let your eyes become clear because the walls are here so I can keep you where I want you to be. I did not allow you to possess this land, because you need to be circumcised in your heart so that you do not repeat the mistakes of your past generation; that you will not allow the past to continue upon your life. That you will not allow the past to lay hold of you and destroy you; and the consequences of your past, the past blunders of the fathers will not catch up with the sons; because the Lord said, “This proverb will cease in Israel that, ‘the son will suffer for the father’s sin and the father will suffer for the son’s sin’. The soul that sins will suffer and the soul that sins will be judged.” Therefore the Lord would say unto you, He will cut off from this generation the consequences of the past generation of fathers who have failed, and he will give you an opportunity to come into the same thing that He’s offering to you in your generation, in your time. What He offered to your forefathers was to see the possession of this land. What He offered to your forefathers was to see the revival in this land, that from New Zealand to the ends of the world, from here to the ends of the earth. So also the offer is coming back to you in this generation. The whole situation has turned around, a full cycle has come around and this is the beginning of a new cycle.
I’m telling you that this is the beginning of a new cycle and God is saying that He is going to bring you into circumcision; He is going to circumcise your heart and tell you this is the offer. Do not fail Him in this generation because you are the ones who need to cross, who need to enter in. That’s why the Lord said to Joshua, “Don’t just be a leader to them, but father them”.
There is a grace; a fathering anointing that is going to come to father, to bring orphans into Sonship, to bring people into Sonship. That’s why God is going to raise up many pastors, not just those who are leaders and warriors but those who can father and reproduce and duplicate what God has given to them, into the lives of others. God is not looking for superstar ministries, He’s looking for ministries that will equip the saints and reproduce and multiply so that there will be a true Sonship, lest He come and smite the land with a curse. He will turn the heart of the fathers to the children, the heart of the children toward the fathers, so that there is a multiplying anointing inside the congregation. So that all that God is doing will begin to multiply. It will not die with one man, it will continue stronger in the next generation. It will continue with more people. More people will be able to do more than what one man can do. God is saying this is the reason most things have died, because most of the generation that God has raised up in the last many years, in revival since the 50’s and 60’s in New Zealand, when they fell, the whole world collapsed. Then somebody else had to be raised up, the work collapsed, somebody else had to be raised up, the work collapsed. But God is saying I am not going to raise up seven sons of Sceva who are trying to struggle in this time, who are trying to fix all the formulas together, in order to take a little bit from Paul, a little bit from Jesus, a little bit from the Jewish synagogue, and make a concoction in order for them to become successful.
God is saying, “I have seen the cry of this generation who have been trying to play ‘cut and paste’ with so many things I have desired for them to do; but they are trying to take a little portion here, a little portion there, hoping that it will work.” But God is saying that, “I am going to raise up true fathers in this land who will begin to produce, who will take out of their life and place it into the hands of their disciples, so that the disciples can go out and do the same things as they are capable of doing”.
God is going to raise up that company, or generation; so at Gilgal, you stand in this hour New Zealand. It is time for circumcision to take place; it is time for fathers to rise. It is time for men and women who will begin to rise up in such a powerful way; so that there is circumcision and a coming into the plan of all that God has for you. Therefore the Lord would say to you, “The walls are to prevent you from entering in because you cannot enter without circumcision; because the covenant promises can only be secured through circumcision”. So God is looking at this moment in time. He is waiting for the church in New Zealand to get ready so that He will raise up fathers; He will raise up men and women who will lay hands on this generation and take them and form them and guide them and work with them until Christ becomes formed in them; then the walls will collapse. “I have kept the enemy within the walls and I have brought the city under siege so that they will not escape. The enemy will not run away because I have used those walls to keep the enemy in. I have not used the walls to keep you out but I have used the walls to keep the enemy in, and so that he will be easy meat for you. The day will come when the walls will collapse before your eyes and the giants will fall and you will inhabit the land”.
It is so easy for God to do that. Even at this moment of time the greatest work that needs to be done in New Zealand is to bring circumcision into the hearts of men and women here so that they can get ready for what is about to happen; the walls will collapse. The walls are not the issue; the people are the issue. The giants are not the issue; the people are the issue. The cities are not the issue; one city after another will begin to collapse. It’s a people that God is looking for so, the day you get ready, when the house becomes restored, the land will become totally redeemed. “Therefore do not be afraid and say, ‘When will the revival come’, it will come when you are ready”, says God. God is waiting for you in this hour. The church in New Zealand; God is waiting for you in this hour to allow the Holy Spirit to come strong upon your heart. To allow the Holy Spirit to lay hold of you, so that instructions can come upon you, so that you will not be afraid because you are going to cross over, to take over. You are not going to wander in the wilderness anymore. He is going to allow you to cross over to the other side and to enter in and possess. There is a generation that wandered and wandered and wandered and they died in the wilderness; but for you, you will possess the land.
Therefore the Lord would say unto you even as He sends you forth ahead of Him, that He is going to come and join you along the way; but He is sending you ahead because He wants you to spearhead this move. This move is going to be because of you. This move will be as far as you want to go. As far as your eyes can see; God will give it to you. As far as you are willing to enter; God will give it to you. As far as you desire to reach; God will give it to you. If you go to the villages; then the villages will be yours. If you go to the city; the city will be yours. If you go to the north; the north will be yours. He wants you to go ahead of Him, not because you are running ahead of Him; but because He wants to let you know, that you carry the same capacity that He carries, to let you know you have the same grace and same authority that He has. He is sending you forward for one reason; He wants you to know that he has given the land into your hand. Therefore the Lord would say unto you “Do not be afraid because you represent Me. Do not be afraid because I am sending you in My Name. Do not be afraid because you are standing in My Name in this hour”. Therefore let the Hand of the Lord come upon you and encourage you in this hour, to let you know that something supernatural is about to happen; that a new generation is rising. A new generation is breaking forth. A new generation will receive grace. A new generation will receive mandate. A new generation will represent Him and one of the most amazing things is this; every place that He wants to go, He will send you first. And God will come and confirm the work that you do in the city by coming and establishing His own Presence there. But you will go first. As far as the north you will go; He will go. Wherever you extend the boundary; He will go. If you reach out to this one; God will touch the person. Wherever the sole of your foot treads; the Foot of the Lord will come into that place. Therefore the Lord says in this hour, that He is waiting for you; because He has given you the authority and the key, and He is sending you forth in apostolic grace; so that when you go forward, you open the territory. Which territory do you want? How far do you want to go? To the extent you want to see it happen; is the extent that it will depend on you in this generation; because God is going to work inside your life and work inside your spirit and work inside your heart. And when you take this decision to take this mandate; then things are going to happen. Don’t wait for God to make things happen; He is raising you up to make things happen. He is giving you grace to cause things to happen. You are the fire starter. You are the igniter of fire. You are the one who will build the altar according to God’s word. You are the one who will call the God of fire; then the fire will begin to come. Therefore in this hour do not be afraid; because there is a new generation rising; and it is into the hands of this generation that a new thing will happen.
This nation will become surprised; because there will be no superstars, just people everywhere. Housewives here, ladies over there, men here, children there; everyone will have their portion. The days are coming where God will not allow denominational positioning to be established; but He will allow His Grace to fall on different men and different women; different ones with no manes will begin to rise everywhere and they will spearhead.
Therefore the Lord would say unto you, “Watch the new thing that will happen in this hour”. As He begins to raise up different ones; they may not know you, you may not know them; but allow them to function, follow that which God is working. Follow the grace of God; like Barnabas going to a place, discover the grace of God. Rather than restrict people from moving; discover the Grace of God, and encourage them with resolute heart to remain true to God, so that you allow God’s grace to function effectually, so that the whole nation can be supernaturally touched.
God Himself is going to come because this is His harvest field; these are His labourers; this is His field. God has made a lot of investment into this land and there is a harvest of land, of contracts of souls. Not just a harvest of souls; but a harvest of everything He has sown into New Zealand. New Zealand you shall bring forth fruit back to God. This nation will turn from being a goat nation, to being a sheep nation. God will allow this nation to bring back to Him fruit that will glorify Him, that will honour Him because this nation is His harvest field.
The Lord of the harvest is declaring in this hour that He is going to raise up this company of people. 70 is a picture of government. God is going to raise up a strong establishing of a government in this nation, and that is going to become His harvest field. All that God has invested in this nation, all the wealth that He has invested in this nation, all the people, all the talents, all the time, all the words, all the prophecies He has invested in this nation; in this hour it shall be harvest time. And God is saying, “Press this button; its harvest time”. It is end-time harvest time, and spiritual timing is the key for spiritual harvesting, and God is saying, “Pray now, pray in this hour, and be the answer to the prayer that you pray. Set yourself apart to go in the direction that the Holy Spirit is sending you, because a new thing is about to happen. You will bring back the harvest, and you will begin to see the new thing happen in this nation like you have never seen before”. God will compound all that He has done in the past and in this generation. All that superstars have done, all that great ministries have done; ordinary, normal people will be doing. Because God is saying, “In this hour, the labourers that will come forth are people that are nameless, faceless; not super-heroes, but the ones who will respond to the same mandate, the same authority and the same power”.
I want you to stretch out your hands, because the Hand of God is going to come upon you in this hour and you will be like the company of the 70, and you will begin to rise up and enter in. Therefore this season is your season. This timing is your timing. This mandate is your mandate. Do not wait for another generation; do not push for another generation; do not cry out for another generation. “This is you”, says God, “This is your time; this is your hour; this is your season”. New Zealand; hear the sound of God’s voice. The church in New Zealand; arise and hear the sound of God’s voice, because this is your time, your season, your hour.
Luke 10:17-20
And the seventy returned with joy, saying, “Lord, even the demons are subject to us in Your name.” {18} And He said to them, “I was watching Satan fall from heaven like lightning. {19} Behold, I have given you authority to tread upon serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall injure you. {20} Nevertheless do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you; but rejoice that your names are recorded in heaven.”
I can see in the spirit, that when you take the challenge and begin to run, when you take the mandate and begin to go forth; God will give you a position in the spirit. He will open up the heavens for you in a way that you have never seen the heavens open before. I believe even in this conference, God is doing just that. He is removing the heavens of brass and He is removing the gates of iron and causing something supernatural to be connected from heaven to here.
There is a supernatural grace of God that is coming, that is going to be here upon your life, and it’s called ‘an open heaven’. The open heavens are going to make you realise that you have found a place of spiritual stature. As the church in New Zealand receives the mandate and she receives the authority and power, she will receive an open heaven. Heaven will become open; so that the powers of the enemy will begin to come down, and you will begin to rise up.
And the Lord is saying to you, “Just as the names of the disciples were written in heaven, great names. They were given authority and power. They were not men who had names on the earth as being somebody special; but these names were intertwined with Jesus in the heavenly places, and they were given a place and a position of stature. This is the company of people who will bring down the power of the enemy”.
Strongholds in your nation are coming down. Strong powers are going to come down. Demonic powers have been holding the north, the south, the east and the west, and holding racial tension between Maori and Pakeha; and God is saying, “These ancient conflicts are going to come to an end”. In one church you are going to see all companies of people. They won’t be called a Samoan church anymore; they won’t be called a Maori church anymore; they won’t be called a Pakeha church anymore; because there is going to be an integration. Nobody will see the colour. They will begin to come in because the apostolic grace is going to come powerfully; and satan is coming down, the one who was a liar from the beginning, the one who is the divider, the one who divided Abel and Cain on grounds of worship, the one who divided the lineage between Seth and him. And God is saying in this hour, “This division is going to come to an end. The powers of conflict will come to an end; even racial prejudice is going to come to an end. There will not be things like this in the days ahead, in the church of the future.”
And God is saying, “I will begin to raise up a company of people that will begin to engage in that spiritual power and dimension in the spirit world and begin to force the works of the enemy down. When satan comes down, you will begin to rise up”. Your names are intertwined in heaven and your names will be written in heaven. Your name will be so intertwined together with God in such a way that there will be no difference between the Name of Jesus and your name. When the Name of Jesus is mentioned, the same authority and power that is on His Name will be also upon your life. It will be like the sword of Gideon and the sword of the Lord. When the sword of the Lord hits the Midianites, it will be like the sword of the Gideon hitting the Midianites; both will hit with equal strength and equal power, because you are intertwined with Him.
And the Lord is saying, “Even in the ordinary things that you will do on earth, even in the ordinary things that you will say on earth; it will be like the Lord Himself will move. So even in every ordinary step that you will do, because the powers of the enemy is coming down, you will go up in stature. Satan is beginning to lose his ground and is beginning to fall. Little by little he is going to get to the ground”. And the Lord is saying to you, “that you will have the power to deal with the scorpion on the ground because the powers of darkness have fallen from the heavens”.
God is saying, “The heavens are opened for you in this hour, and I am going to show you how to tread on scorpions on the earth. I am going to show you how to deal with every environment; because you have unlocked the powers of heaven, and supernatural things have already taken place in the spirit world; so you will be able to go down and handle demonic powers on the ground.
When you go back to your churches, when you go back to your city; you will know how to unlock these things because in the spirit you have seen. Your name has gone up into the heavens and you are intertwined; and satan’s power is down.
Now you will know exactly what to do with the scorpion; you will not be afraid of them anymore. You will not be afraid of the lies of the enemy; you will know how to discern the scorpion, the enemy, the works of darkness; and all kinds of serpents and scorpions you will begin to deal with on the ground.
Therefore do not be afraid anymore, because He is going to give you power to ravage the house of the enemy, because the head of the household has been brought down and you will go and plunder his house. There will be much healing, there will be much deliverance, there will be much supernatural release of heaven coming down. It’s going to be done because God is giving to you an open heaven.
He is saying to you in this hour, “Do not be afraid of what the enemy has done. What the enemy has done is going to be short-circuiting itself, it will self-destruct. What the enemy has planned is going to backfire on him. You will go out there and begin to deal with situations because I am going to give you authority to shut down the works of the enemy in this hour. In families; you will begin to scout out families, and begin to touch them and the fire of God will fall on families. You will touch businesses and businesses will begin to come under the conviction of the Holy Ghost”.
And God is saying in this hour, “You will know what it means to get in there and to deal with scorpions and serpents on the ground; because for too long you have been saying that there are too many powers up in the heavenly places, too many demonic strongholds in the heavenly places. But the Lord will show unto you, that when you rise; they will come down. When you rise up higher; they will fall down. When you begin to take your place; they will begin to lose their place. When you begin to become stronger; then they will become weaker. So you will become the stronger man on the city; and the strongman of the city will bow”.
Therefore do not be afraid any longer because you will know what it is to deal with the people on the ground and set them free. There is coming a day and a time when you are going to look at the captives and you’re going to say to them, “Now the captives go free!”
Captives are those who have been bound against their will. They have been held against their will; but God is saying to you that you will set them free; because you will come out as one who has been anointed of God, and because your name is written up in heaven; the spirits will become subject to you. The spirits will become subject to you because you live by the light of the Spirit. The Spirit of Christ is in you. The Spirit of God is in you; and you have overcome the spirits that are in this world, and you will be able to judge them and test them and deal with them.
For many times you have said, “The enemy is coming, he is going to tempt me; he is going to attack me”. But the days are coming that you are going to go to torment them. Spirits of darkness have tormented you until now; but the tables are changing, the rules of engagement are changing; they are not going to torment you but everywhere you go you will torment them. You will cause them to begin to suffer; they will know their time is short; because you walk on time, you walk in authority, you walk in power and you will enter in; and their torment will begin.
And the Lord is saying, “Go torment the works of the enemy, because I have already destroyed his power; I have defeated him and removed all power and authority from him. It is time for you to begin to set the captives free.” You will cause the spirits of power, of demonic powers to be subjected to you because you carry the Spirit of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit is upon your life. The same Holy Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead is dwelling in you. And if He is dwelling in you, the same authority is upon your life. And if you, by the finger of God, cast out devils from among you; then you usher in the Kingdom of God, and the Kingdom of God will begin to break out on the lives of those people.
Therefore the Lord would say unto you, “Do not hold back, because you hold the Kingdom, you hold the authority, you hold the power, you hold the ushering in of the Kingdom. Do not allow the kingdoms of darkness to manifest in this hour; because as you allow the Kingdom of God to break out, and by the finger of God, by the Holy Spirit that dwells in you, to get out there and deal with that, the Kingdom of darkness will leave.”
Do not say to yourself, “’They are dank, they are hard’. They have been there for a long time but, I have given you power now, in this hour, to cut short in righteousness to deal with the situation in this hour. Don’t hold back, don’t hesitate in this hour but enter in”, says God. Because if you do that, there is going to be a supernatural grace, that is going to come upon you. The spirits of darkness will become subjected to you. You will take over regions, you will take over cities, you will take over homes, you will take over lives and you will set the captives free.
But the Lord is also saying to you, “You will begin to set the prisoners free”. Prisoners are those who are serving a sentence, but God is saying to you, that the Lord God is going to sit as a judge. He is going to bring in justice; He is going to bring in peace; He is going to bring in forgiveness; He is going to bring in pardon.
The Lord is going to say to you from heaven, “I pardon this man, cut short his sentence, let not the past continue upon his life. Cut short his sentence and you will begin to rise up and begin to deliver prisoners and cut short their sentences”. If they are suffering 15 years for murder, God, the Holy Spirit will begin to cut short in righteousness, and begin to stop the consequences of the past upon their lives and deliver their lives so that the devil will not have his full day and full hour. Even though it was said that 70 years and then comes the end of Babylonian captivity; do you know that in 69 and a half years they returned?
God is kind; God is good; because He doesn’t want the nations to continue to suffer the full consequences. He wants to cut it short in righteousness and continue to deliver them, and prisoners are going to go free. A lot of people deserve to continue to suffer but because of God, His Blood and His Word, He has made them worthy and He has turned them around.
And God is saying that, “By My Blood, by My Spirit, by My Word, I have made them worthy and I am pulling them back. I will not allow the enemy to have a full day upon them, I will not allow the days of evil to be upon them; this is the day of My Power and I am going to execute judgement on the works of the enemy, the written judgement on the works of the enemy; to cut short and to begin to speak the favourable year of the Lord and the judgement of our God on the works of the enemy.”
Therefore the Lord would say unto you “Do not be afraid; this is a season and time, you will know what it means to have true joy. The kingdom will begin to manifest with joy, the kingdom will begin to manifest with righteousness, the kingdom will begin to manifest with peace; and wherever you go there will be righteousness, peace and you will return with great joy.” You have laboured in sorrow but the Lord would say unto you, “You will return with sheaves in your hand rejoicing that there is great victory; great victory in the spirit, great victory in delivering the people, great victory because your names are written in heaven, great victory because you have gone forth in the Lord’s Name.”
He is saying to you in this hour that, this is what’s going to happen. There is going to be a changing of spiritual powers. Cities are going to be overtaken because God is going to raise up His strongman. He is going to raise up His strong church and that church will begin to plunder the house of the enemy. He is going to raise up His stronger men to bring down the strongman of cities. Therefore in city after city you are going to see things happen.
All of a sudden because of what God is going to do; the powers of the enemy are going to be cut short. When the powers of the enemy are cut short in the heavens; then on the earth things will begin to happen. Just like Paul when he begins to release the power of his authority through the life of his disciples; wherever they went people were being healed, delivered and set free. And those who were practising magic, those who were hidden in those dark places, begin to bring all their books and begin to burn them with fire. I am telling you, there are dark works of the enemy that are going to be exposed. Prostitution exposed, drugs exposed, all sorts of things that are hidden will begin to be exposed; because as you begin to rise in authority and power something supernatural is going to happen, the water level in your cities is going to rise and is going to flush out all the serpents, all the scorpions, is going to flush out all the negative elements that are hiding behind and they are going to come out, the water is going to sweep it out.
Therefore the Lord is saying, “When you begin to rise in the spirit and find your place, the river is going to flow from heaven and the water level is going to keep increasing and increasing and increasing, to such an extent that everything that is hidden is going to come out into the open.”
Therefore do not be afraid and say to yourself, “Lord there are so many things that are happening; there is prostitution, there are drugs, there is sorcery, there is witchcraft”. No, they have always been there; they have never been challenged, they have never been taken on, they have never been unseated; but for this reason they have been exposed; because you have risen, you have found your place. Therefore when you read it in the newspaper, don’t say there are more problems in your nation, there is more darkness in your nation; but you are discovering that, because the water has come. The snake has always been here but you have never seen it, the scorpion has always been there but you have never found him. All the attacks of the enemy have always been there hidden underneath a the stone; but when the water begins to come it will flush out and it will look like there are more snakes than there was in the past, but they have always been there.
God will expose the works of the enemy, and in that day and in that hour, rejoice in your heart because the water level is rising and satanic forces are going to be exposed. Sometimes you will be reading the paper and become frightened because there are so many attacks, so many killings, there is so much corruption; but when you read that, rejoice in your heart because the Lord is flushing it out in the open so that He can clean it.
Collect all the dust that is around about because you are going to get rid of it. Even though you see a whole pile of dust on your floor, it does not mean anything because you are just gathering the dust to sweep it out completely so that your house can be clean. Some seasons you’re going to see all kinds of manifestations of darkness that is going to come out. All of a sudden you see drugs; you see human trafficking, corrupt politicians being exposed, scandals being exposed, and fraud being exposed. Do not say in your heart that it’s more evil than we first thought; no, it’s not becoming more evil, it’s becoming cleaner and cleaner and cleaner. Your prayers are being answered.
The things that the Holy Spirit is doing are becoming more and more real; it’s on the ground, it’s effecting the nation, it’s transforming the nation, changing the nation, delivering the nation. Therefore your heart should rejoice rather than fear; because these enemies of the Cross are being exposed in this hour.
The Lord would say this word to you, “There are many, many cities that want to be exalted to heaven that will be brought down to Hades.” Some cities are connected to hell. Some cities are connected to heaven. Some are entrance points of God; some are entrance points of devils. But the Lord is saying to you, “Wherever there is an entrance point of the devil, you will lock it. You will set authority over the city; you will become a gate keeper in shutting down the gates of the enemy”. And there are some cities that are an entrance point of heaven and you will open the gates of heaven and so the house of God will begin to become the gateway of heaven and the Spirit of God will begin to flow. All of this darkness will come to an end.
I see in the spirit world that the church in New Zealand will learn the power of spiritual authority. You have only understood spiritual warfare. You have understood that there is war in the heavenlies; but you have not understood your stature, you have not understood your authority. You have not understood what it means to stand and speak as one with authority.
The Lord will show you what it means to use your word in prayer, the Word of God in prophecy, the Word of God in preaching; how you use the Word to slay the works of the enemy. The Lord is saying this to you, because this nation has gone through turmoil in believing that there are too many powers of darkness and the Christians in New Zealand are not strong. But the Lord would say unto you in this hour that He is going to correct your doctrine especially in this area and He will show you how easy it is, because Jesus has defeated the enemy, He has destroyed the powers of darkness.
He is going to show the church in New Zealand the authority that God has given to her in this hour. She will rise and begin to set cities free, not just people free but cities free. Cities have not fulfilled their destinies because satan has used certain cities and towns as entrance points for different things. God is saying in this hour, “You will shut down the works of the enemy. I give to you the keys of the Kingdom of heaven so that whatever you bind in the spirit world will be bound; and you begin to set free those who are oppressed in that region, in that city.”
Therefore God would say, “The church will begin to arise with a sense of authority. No longer will there be passive Christianity, there will be aggressive Christianity. There will be a voice, a sound of war. There will be a cry of war that will rise in New Zealand like never before. This cry is going to rise from deep in you because you have seen the oppression of the enemy. You have seen how the enemy has depressed and regressed the church and pushed the church backwards. You will arise like a warrior, like a Joshua generation that will begin to rise with the sound of war that will begin to come up.”
The Lord, who is coming to you, is not coming to take sides; He is coming to take over. He’s not going to stand for C.O.C. or New Life or A.O.G. He’s not standing for Baptist or Presbyterian. He’s not standing for denominational line up; He’s standing for His purpose, His plan and His desire.
The Lord’s sword is drawn and He is saying to all the captains that He has raised up in this nation that, “I am not coming to take sides; I am coming to take over so that My Plans will not be thwarted by men any longer. My desires for this nation will be made complete; My desires for this nation will be established in full measure; for the days are coming when I will begin to lead My army. I will not allow men who have been in different frequencies, men who choose their own agenda, to lead; so that they will not in any way jeopardise the generations to come. For there are many that I will bring from other nations of the world and resettle them here. There are many that I will take from the smaller towns and bring them to the bigger cities, and there are many that I will take from the bigger cities and return to the smaller towns. I will begin to reorganise them and resettle them in the right places so that when I move, the right men will be in the right place”.
Therefore the Lord is saying in this hour, “The authority is going to be given to you in such a powerful way so that you will be able to do what I have called you to do. As you rise; the enemy will fall. As you tread on scorpions; the doors will be opened. As you begin to rise up in the spirit; city after city is going to be opened. There is no difficult city; there are no great cities that cannot be taken”. The Lord is saying, “I will give you chief cities, I will give you great cities, I will give you big cities, I will give you small cities, I will give you villages, I will give you homes; and I will give you hearts of men and women, and every one of them you will touch because I have given you all authority.”
Stretch your hands and let me pray for that authority to come to you. In accordance with the Word of God, let there be the authority of Christ upon your life, in Jesus’ Name; that you will know all authority, all power, in the Name of Jesus according to the Spirit of grace and apostleship that God has given to us. In this hour I pronounce to you the power and the authority to carry out the mandate, to carry out the assignment. That you’ll go forth and cast out devils, heal the sick, raise the dead, in the Name of Jesus; cleanse the leper. The authority is given to you, the message of the Kingdom is given to you, the authority and power is given toy you in a way that you will begin to push back the works of the enemy from every city; deliver every city, deliver every home, every family, deliver all those that have been bound and oppressed. Let the captives go free, let the prisoners go free. Because into your hands I give not just authority, but I give you cities and I give you this land; that this will become your portion, the heritage of the righteous. This will be the hour for the servant of the Lord. This will be the honour for those who are Godly in this hour and this will be His portion in this hour. We receive it Lord; we receive authority from You; we receive grace from You; we receive it in Jesus Name.
I have been waiting on God for something to happen supernaturally so we can crown these days with God’s prophetic words into your heart; so that every day you put on this tape and listen to it again and again until you begin to feel the prophetic spirit. The bible says that the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy. Jesus is testifying about His church, about what He wants to do. Jesus is on the stand, He is standing before God, the judge of this nation, He is testifying. Whenever the spirit of prophecy comes about, He is testifying. Paul said “I did not come to you with enticing words, but I came to you proclaiming to you the oracles of God”. What God is saying in the heavens is what we need to testify. Meetings like this are important because we need to know what God is saying about us in the spirit world; so this becomes language for us, this becomes prayer words for us, like Daniel. We begin to study the prophecies of Jeremiah and begin to add this straight into the spirit of prayer. We study the prophecies of Jeremiah and find the time clock of heaven is ticking.
We’ve got to take this word and earth it. We can’t just let prophesy be prophecy, we have got to take this word and pray it, take it and earth it, take it and begin to release it, take it and allow it to come into our hearts and declare it, and then man! Once one man takes it others will begin to pick it up. You take it, others will pick it up. You receive it, others will pick it up.
Mary received the Holy Ghost and what happened? The moment she opened her mouth and began to speak and fellowship with Elizabeth, she picked up the Holy Spirit too. I’m telling you that once it’s on the ground it will spread like wild fire; there will be no stopping; there will be no end to this.
For 400 years, the prophecy of Isaiah that a virgin shall bear a child, kept on going from one generation to another generation to another generation; but the moment that Mary took it what happened? That moment that Jesus came; everything that the enemy had been doing for four thousand years was cut short. Everything was arrested. Everywhere He went, He destroyed every work of the evil one. That’s how powerful it is. That’s why times like this are important; it’s not a teaching time, it’s not a preaching time; it’s time to absorb it into our spirit so that we capture the spirit of prophecy.
“I would to God that every one of you would prophesy”. How do you do that? You’ve got to let the same Spirit of God that is upon you become transferred to them so that people carry the spirit of the prophet back. They receive the spirit of the prophet inside of their heart. The same spirit that was on the prophet Moses was upon the 70 (68 outside the camp, 2 inside the camp). Moses said, “I would to God all were prophets”. And I would to God the same too; that you would carry the prophetic word inside your heart and wage a warfare through the prophetic word that’s given to you. You wage a strong warfare because you know you can win. You win because God has already given you the result. God has already told you; you pray from the position of authority, you pray from the position of victory, you pray from the position of knowing that this is what needs to happen, and you start to speak it. The prophetic word becomes the material for you to use, to shape, to form it, and get the nation God wants you to have.
The devil wants you to pick up the papers and see reports of deaths and pray for the families. God wants you to pick up the papers of heaven, the prophecies of heaven; so that you can pray these out in the material until it becomes a reality. Reproduce and distribute this prophecy and let everybody know what God is going to do.
Luke 10:21-24
At that very time He rejoiced greatly in the Holy Spirit, and said, “I praise Thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that Thou didst hide these things from the wise and intelligent and didst reveal them to babes. Yes, Father, for thus it was well-pleasing in Thy sight. {22} All things have been handed over to Me by My Father, and no one knows who the Son is except the Father, and who the Father is except the Son, and anyone to whom the Son wills to reveal Him.” {23} And turning to the disciples, He said privately, “Blessed are the eyes which see the things you see, {24} for I say to you, that many prophets and kings wished to see the things which you see, and did not see them, and to hear the things which you hear, and did not hear them.”
I want to prophesy to you in the Name of Jesus that there is going to be an open intimacy that is going to be released to you in this hour. Something supernatural is happening. I can feel the compassion of God coming on this nation. God is going to grant to you a face to Face relationship and a contact. He is going to grant to you an ability to hear the sound of His Voice; the hearing ear and the seeing eye. God will give it you so that your ears will pop open. Morning by morning the Lord will pierce your ears so that you can hear the sound of His Voice and so that you can begin to be trained as God’s disciple; one He can shape and train to represent Him well. There is going to be an open revelation that is going to come to you in this hour, because God wants to get intimate with you in this hour. He wants to open up your eyes and your heart and your understanding so that, ‘what eyes have not seen, what ears have not heard’, will enter into your heart. And these things will be revealed to you by the Holy Spirit. There is a special dispensation of the Holy Spirit that is coming upon New Zealand in this hour; not to give you gifts, but to give you revelation so that you have understanding of the one Who is speaking to you.
In the past God has given you a lot of breakthroughs, a lot of healings, a lot of deliverance; but this time God is coming to you to open up your heart to understand what He is saying, to open up your heart to have a relationship with Him like you have never had before.
A new day of open intimacy is coming upon the church in New Zealand. God is saying, “I am not going to allow deception to continue, I will not allow the memory of My presence to linger there and confuse the people, you; but I am going to show you in this hour that there is another measure. I am going to measure another thousand cubits for you. And I say come into the Holy Spirit, come closer. Some are going to walk from your knee level to your waist level. Some are going to walk from your waist to have waters to swim in so that you will be able to enter deeper and deeper into things of the Holy Ghost.”
God is going to measure for you a deeper level of relationship like you have never seen before.
This hour is going to come; the days of vision, the days of revelation, the days of understanding are going to become your portion. Like in the days of Eli, the Word of God was rare, visions were infrequent, because he stood in the temple and he blocked the move of the Holy Ghost. God is saying to you, “I am going to make space on the earth; I am going to create space so that the Word of God won’t become rare. The Spirit of God will begin to flow freely. It won’t be said in New Zealand, it won’t be said in the people that God has raised, that there will be a famine of God’s Word because there will be an abundance of bread. There will be barley harvest and bread harvest that is going to come upon your generation in this hour.
There will be no lacking of truth because the Lord Himself will reveal. One of the greatest revelations that you are going to receive is God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. The revelation of God coming to you in such a powerful way, that you will know them. The Father will live in you, the Son will live in you, the Holy Spirit will dwell in you; you will know what it means to become the tabernacle of God in this hour. The tabernacle, about which it can be said, that the Lord is with us. Emmanuel, God is with us. You can know that God is with us, all above you and all around you and underneath you.
This revelation is going to become one that is your strength in this hour. Those who know their God shall take action. Those who know their God will do great exploits, Those who know their God will walk with insight, Those who know their God will begin to turn many from unrighteousness. Those who know their God will begin to lead many into the pathway of righteousness.
Those who are evil will continue to be evil, those who are worse will continue to be worse; but the sons of God, the sons of life, will begin to know their Father in an intimate manner. Veils are going to be removed.
Veils over our eyes, over our ears over our hearts, will be removed. The inability to believe is going to be broken. So many of us say, “Lord I believe; but help my unbelief”. That contradiction is going to come to an end; because God is going to open up your heart in such an amazing way in this hour, that He is going to grant to you open intimacy, so that the Word of God becomes real to you, the Presence of God becomes real to you, the Spirit of God will become real to you, in this hour.
I believe that revelations are going to come. God is going to teach you step by step and disciple you. Many of you are going to learn the ways of the Spirit. ‘Come let us go up to Mt Zion, there he will teach us of His ways and we will walk in His path’. That is going to become a fulfillment even before Zion becomes established, because God is moving one step ahead into your life so that your lives will become like Zion.
He is not waiting for the whole church; but He is waiting for you in this hour. He is not waiting for the whole nation; but he is waiting for all those whosoever will begin to come. And he is going to draw you. He is going to break the veil over your mind, over your heart, over your emotions, and begin to grant to you access into the things of the Spirit. He is going to speak to you face to Face. He is going to speak to you in a way that you have never understood before.
In the past when God spoke to Moses face to Face, do you realise how difficult it is when God speaks to you face to Face? You have got to have the frequency to hear what He is saying. Most of us don’t realise, that when God began to speak to mankind, they heard it as thunder, they heard lightening; but Jesus heard. For people it was thunder; but for Jesus it was a voice. For many others it will be thunder; but for you it will be a voice. God will speak to you. He will put inside you the frequency to be able to hear things that others cannot hear. Inexpressible words, words that others won’t have the power to hear and resonate with, you will be able to understand. God is going to cause that veil over your eyes, over your ears, to be removed in such a powerful way so that when you begin to hear His Voice, in the midst of all the confusion you can pick it up immediately. In the midst of all the frustration of those around about you, you will be able to feel it exactly as what God is saying in this hour. I am telling you, your perception is going to increase. Your insight is going to increase; your knowledge of God is going to increase.
So let us return to the Lord. Let us press in to know the Lord; for the days are coming when God will begin to revive us and restore us and bring us in to a level of relationship that is going to purify our passion for Him, purify our agenda for Him; that will give us the power to lay hold of the plough and not turn back. There are many; because they don’t know God, who will shrink back; but you will not be that generation.
God will give you that opportunity to get closer and closer to Him. To know your Father, to know your assignment, to know who the Son is, and who the Holy Spirit is, and who the Father is; and that revelation will begin the moves. That when you see the Son, then the Son will reveal the Father; when you see the Father, the Father will reveal the Holy Spirit; the Holy Spirit will reveal the Son. There will be an unending revelation flow that you have never felt before, but this is going to become your portion.
There is going to be such a dimension of revelation flowing like crazy, that is going to allow you to enter deeper and deeper into relationship; because with every revelation that God is going to give to you, He is going to measure another thousand cubits. He says, “Enter in, enter in, enter in, enter in”. And this is going to be the communion that you are looking for, the Bride is going to know such communion; and out of that communion many things are going to be conceived inside your heart. Out of that marriage of the Lamb, many things are going to be conceived inside your heart. Out of that fellowship and out of that communion, many burdens are going to be built into your heart.
There are going to be new things formed inside your life because of this communion, and so the Lord is saying, “I set a table before you, so that you can come and sup with me. I set a table for you, so that you can partake of the bread that I am eating from My Father’s Hand. The same bread that I partake, you will partake also. There’s hidden manna that is in My Presence before the Presence of God the Father, manna that you will eat. I will give it you, so that you will know God the Father; you will know God the Son; you will know God the Holy Spirit. That which is food for God will become food for you. That which God partakes of, you will partake of. That which God knows, is what you will know. That which God understand is what you will understand. The same revelation and perspective that God has will come into your mind. His thoughts will become your thoughts.
The mysteries are beginning to unravel, things are falling into place. Even for us, we are seeing that, and for you it shall be the same also. The same portion will be yours so that in the days ahead; revelation and open intimacy and open understanding will give you foretaste experiences of what is supposed to take place in the future.
I believe this is where the Holy Spirit is leading us in New Zealand. Get ready for that to happen because when the heavens become open, when intimacy with the heavens becomes real to you; then the earth will mean nothing. The glory of this earth will no longer be there. Everything will become dim in His sight. Once you see His Glory, once you look at His light and look at everything else, everything else will be nothing. Just like when I look into this spotlight then look at you, I only see darkness. You no longer become the focus because the light has penetrated into my eyes. Once you have seen God’s Glory the glory of this world is a cheap counterfeit. Once you see and look into the Glory of God you can see that the powers of the enemy cannot lay hold of you, cannot tempt you, cannot destroy you, cannot take you out and show you other things because you have seen the Glory of your King. When you see the Glory of your King, you see that not only is he Glorified, but the whole earth is full of His Glory. That’s why you cannot be deceived by the enemy anymore. This intimacy that God is opening up for you is that you will never be set up by the enemy. The elect will not be deceived by the enemy because you have seen the Glory of the king. You have seen the Glory of the King, you have heard the sound of God’s Voice, and you have heard the sound of angels crying Holy, Holy, Holy, the whole earth is full of His Glory. The whole earth is full of His Glory. Once you have seen the Glory of God everything you see will be covered with the same perspective. You cannot see with God’s eye, and greed with man’s mind. Once you see with God’s eye you’re going to read it with God’s thoughts. You can’t see with God’s eye and read it with human mind, with man’s mind. But when you see with God’s eye, then you have God’s thoughts coming to your eyes, to your mind so that you can really perceive the way God wants you to perceive. I see this dimension is going to come, that there is a new level of intimacy and comfort and compassion. The Holy Spirit shows me that He is going to do for you because many have been asking, “Lord, I have been in this kind of relationship with you for so long but I have never moved on”, but God is saying, “I am going to measure that for you”.
Let your heart hunger. In the next weeks ahead of you hunger for that. Say, “God I need you. I need you to speak to me”. Hunger for that and God is going to connect this thing to make it happen and make it a reality.
Father, I pray for such hearts to be opened like Mary, like Mary, like Mary. Let them ponder, let them chew, let them desire, let them press in; let them push in for this place that You desire them to have.
“There is a place by Me, like I said to Moses, there is a place by Me, near the rock and if you’ll hide in the rock you will see My Glory”. God is going to create that space for you; that place of open intimacy.
In the next days ahead of you, in the next months ahead of you, in the next spirit of time and season ahead of you, He is going to create that space for you so that you will be hidden in that hollow of His Hand, so that you can see His Glory and hear His Voice and know His Form. Father, I pray that this will become the portion of your sons, your daughters, in this hour.
Because of what you are going to do in this place, I pray that there will be a new beginning, a new freedom in our hearts to talk to you; a new liberty in our hearts to communicate with You and commune with You in this hour. I pray for such a release right now. That every spirit of condemnation will be broken in Jesus Name; that men will set their minds on the things of the spirit; that they will begin to rise and not fulfil the desires of the flesh. Men will rise and begin to fulfil the affections of heaven. Their hearts will be connected; their love for the things of God will increase. Their love for Holy things will increase; their passion for spiritual things will increase, receive the portion right now!
In the Name of Jesus receive the portion that your spirit will love His Word, that your spirit will love the Spirit of Truth. In Jesus Name! That open intimacy will become your portion. Let eyes become open, let blind eyes see, let deaf ears hear, let the seeing eye and the hearing ear be released to you in this hour; that what God is wanting you to hear you will hear. What He wants you to see you will see. That what He wants you to feel you will feel, what He wants you to know you will know, what He wants you to do you will do, what He wants you to say you will say, in Jesus Name. Let this become your portion in this hour.
Father I pray for the veils to be removed right now. Veils of unbelief; veils of doubt; in the Name of Jesus, be removed right now. The veils of wrong perception; in Jesus Name, be removed from our minds so that in the days ahead open intimacy will be given to us like we have never seen before. Father we thank You for that release right now.
Receive it, receive it, that’s the Word of Grace coming to you I can see the Compassion of God reaching out to you. He says, “Yes, I am going to help you see, I’m going to help you understand. I am going to give you the Spirit of understanding”. Like the disciples on the Emmaus Road, Jesus is coming to you because He knows there are things in your heart that are clouding your perception. There are things in your heart that are confusing your interpretation and God is saying, “I am going to touch that heart, I am going to cause the eyes of your understanding to be opened, the eyes of your heart to be opened, the ears of your spirit to become open so that they become enlightened so that you know the things and the hope of all that you desire is not lost”.
The hope is going to be placed back in your heart. Yes! It is possible Yes! It can be done. Yes! It can take place. The hope is going to come back to your heart’.
Yes Lord, I believe what you say is true. The hope is going to come back to your heart. Yes it’s true; yes it’s true; it can happen. It can happen in My day, in My hour. The hope is going to come back. Let there be enlightening in your heart right now. Let there be an enlightening in your mind so that the Hope of God can begin to arise inside your heart. And this hope will not disappoint you. There is a hope that has disappointed you; but this is a hope inside your heart that you can lay a hold of, a hope that does not disappoint; a hope that has become an anchor to your soul in the Name of Jesus.
This spirit of intimacy that is coming, is going to put such a confidence inside your heart, it is going to put hope back in your heart. Fear is going to be gone away. Frustration is going to be gone away; impatience is going to be gone away; because in your heart you know that Jesus has become the forerunner of your hope. He has gone into the Holy of Holies and He is speaking to God concerning all the promises that you have received. He is telling God the Father all the promises that have been given to you that now must be fulfilled and the Lord is watching over His Word.
Jesus is the Word. Jesus is the Word. The Father is watching over the Word. Jesus is speaking the Word to the Father and is saying, “Father, this is what’s been promised, this is what’s been declared, this is what I have spoken to them”. And the Father is going to quicken the Word in His time. He is going to hasten, “I’ll watch over My Word to hasten it”.
The days are coming when things will begin to happen so quickly, like you have never seen before. Things are going to be so remarkable in the days ahead. Things are going to happen in your life and people are going to say, “We have never heard anything like this before; we have never seen anything like this before”. The days of the miraculous are remarkable, incredible. Incredible reports are going to come forward because you know your God.
You shall take action, you will do great exploits and because of that, the intimacy that God has given to you is going to establish you as a minister of God. As one who knows God, as one who burns incense before Him, as one who serves Him, as one who ministers to Him; so you shall be known as a minister of God in His Kingdom. You will be God’s governing force on the earth, because you will be like the scribe who hears and writes it; you will be like the prophet who will hear it and say it; you will be like the king who will hear it and execute it.
God will give you the supernatural grace; wise men have longed to see this; they will speak what they hear. Kings have longed to hear it; they will hear it and they will rule accordingly. Prophets have longed for it, they are going to hear it and they will say it to others. And God is going to do this work for you because supernatural days are beginning for you. The days of intimacy are yours.
Lift your hands and thank Him. Thank you Lord. Let the frequency – let there be a receiver in your heart – shape them, form them right now. Give them a hearing ear, a seeing eye; so that everything the You are saying in heaven, whatever You are saying to us at home in Malaysia and Nigeria, whatever You are saying will be the same frequency, that everyone will begin to hear. Everyone that is here, let them receive this grace. Let them have this access code O God, to hear the sound of Your voice in such a powerful way. The day will become supernatural. The days of running to and fro will be over. As God reveals the Word to you, He is going to reveal Himself to you and you are going to speak the Word, the Word will not fall to the ground. As he speaks the Word to you, the God that you don’t know, you will know. You will start to know Him more and more as He speaks to you more and more. The Lord is going to reveal Himself by revealing His Word to you, and when He does that you will start to know Him. You start to become confident, your start to speak His Word with courage and none of that Word will fall to the ground because that is not you, not your word anymore; it is the Word you heard. It is the knowledge you know, it is the revelation you understood that will flow into your life as surely as the Lord God lives, before whom I stand, ‘there will be neither rain nor due except by My Words’, and when you go out and speak, you will speak with such authority that things will begin to happen. You heard the Words of God; you spoke the Words of God. You declared the Voice of God and man will hear the sound of God’s Voice. Let the earth hear His Voice. Let the earth know what He is saying. Let the earth hear the sound of God’s Voice through your lips. Become God’s Voice in this hour. Let there be a supernatural anointing to become a voice in the land, a voice in your community, a voice in your church, a voice in your family, a voice in your home, a voice in your school. Receive the grace! Receive the grace! Receive the grace to become God’s Voice in this hour.
As the Voice of God will begin to pierce through you will begin to cause many major things around about you as you begin to speak. As you begin to speak, people will begin to understand. As you begin to speak, people will begin to believe. As you begin to speak, people will be sealed by the power of your word. Because there is a supernatural, open intimacy that God is giving to you to embrace you and draw you closer and closer to Him in this hour.
I see all across New Zealand, the spirit of error is being challenged; the spirit of deception is going to be challenged; the spirit of lies is going to be challenged. There are many, many Christians who are running away from the purposes of God because they have been deceived. Many of them have been taken out, fallen back, shrunk back because the spirit of deception is round about. “But for you”, says God, “You will carry the Spirit of truth. The truth will be in you. The truth will stay with you. As you continue in My Word, the Truth will set you free. As you continue in My Word, you will become My disciple. As you continue in My Word, you will become those who will speak what you have leant and declare what you have spoken”. This is going to be your portion; a measure of intimacy that is going to come to you is going to help you to become God’s Voice and God’s spokesman!
I want to share with you one more thing God has put in my heart;
Luke 10:3-9
“Go your ways; behold, I send you out as lambs in the midst of wolves. {4} Carry no purse, no bag, no shoes; and greet no one on the way. {5} And whatever house you enter, first say, ‘Peace be to this house.’ {6} And if a man of peace is there, your peace will rest upon him; but if not, it will return to you. {7} And stay in that house, eating and drinking what they give you; for the labourer is worthy of his wages. Do not keep moving from house to house. {8} And whatever city you enter, and they receive you, eat what is set before you; {9} and heal those in it who are sick, and say to them, ‘The kingdom of God has come near to you.’”
I want to say to you that the days of a persecution mentality are over in the nation. The days of saying that people will not listen to what you carry, are going to come to an end. God is going to give you an ability to believe your assignment, so that when you speak people will hear. People will harken because you are not sent by man, you are sent by God; and it’s going to open house, open hearts and open cities. This is going to be your portion.
Many of you have not believed what God has spoken to you; you do not believe your assignment; you do not believe Who sent you; you do not know the Power and the Authority that is backing you. For this reason when you go out you see the resistance of men, you evaluate the responses of men and you say, “Well they don’t receive it, so the ground must be hard”. But the Lord is saying to you, “It is time for you to speak. A sower went to sow the seed. Do not wait for the heart but keep sowing. Do not wait for the response but keep declaring. Do not say in your heart like Isaiah did, ‘Lord, how long. I am speaking but no one is listening. I am declaring but nobody is responding’.” But God said, “Until I remove everything that is not mine and I rebuild the ancient ruins again”.
God says, “I have men in the cities, I have men in the nation, I have people in the villages. There are open houses, there are open hearts and there are open cities. Therefore go and keep speaking the Word. What I place in your heart keep speaking because the doors are going to open. If you don’t knock, it will not be opened to you, if you don’t ask you will not receive an answer, if you do not press in there will not be a break-though. Violent men advance the Kingdom of God.”
Go heal the sick, cast out devils, lay hands on the sick. Don’t ask the sick if they want to be healed, heal them! Don’t ask the dead if they want to be raised, raise them! Do not ask the leper if he wants to be cleansed, cleanse him! Because this is the authority God has given to you in this time, so that when you go out and begin to declare it, things are going to happen.
Therefore do not say in your heart, “the cities are hard”. Do not say in your heart that areas are difficult because of the responses of the people; but see what the Lord is saying to you. Speak it, declare it; because then you will begin to find out for yourself. When you lay hands on the sick; you will see the Lord will heal. When you begin to speak the words; see that the Lord will confirm it. When you pray; God will begin to establish. When you begin to prophesy; God will bring it to pass. Why? Because God is looking for this man who will be violent, for this man of the Kingdom who will go out, who will establish the Kingdom who will go out and say, “The Kingdom of God has come near to you”. And you will bring the Kingdom, My Kingdom, closer and closer to them and the cities are going to be opened.
There is going to be a clash of kingdoms. As you carry My Kingdom in; there will be sparks flying, thunder and lightning; but the Lord is saying the violent will advance the Kingdom, they will not withdraw the Kingdom but will advance it’.
Many of you carry the message of the gospel but not the message of the Kingdom. The Kingdom will not fall back, will not regress, but the Kingdom will advance. Therefore if you carry the Kingdom authority, you are going to go forward. Do not be afraid of persecution because God will give you the right words to speak at that time and you will push them back. God will give you the right words to command the enemies to leave and they will leave the territories. Therefore do not be afraid because this that God is giving to you is to help you advance the Kingdom and advance His authority into the terrain of darkness.
I can see that as you would go the boundaries of the enemy is going to get smaller and smaller and smaller. It is not you who is under siege, the devil is under siege. It’s not that you are under siege, the city is under siege.
I see all across New Zealand that the enemy has pushed the church back into a small hole. Like in the days of Gideon, instead of staying inside their house they are staying in the caves, thinking that is a safer way because of the Midianites. Pressure has pushed the church to regress. But the Lord is saying, “I am giving you authority in this hour. As you would begin to take My Word and go out carrying this Kingdom message, you suddenly begin to find breathing space. You begin to find light hearted freedom and joy and excitement because you won’t be under pressure to defend the little flock but the little flock will begin to increase”.
God wants you to get out there so the enemy does not encroach on you. I can see the enemy squeezing and squeezing and squeezing and holding you in a tight spot but God is saying, “That is not your portion; your portion is to advance”. He wants you to get out there and begin to push back the works of the enemy; begin to push back the walls of the enemy, the terrain of the enemy.
I can see that there is a man of God that is rising, that is going to pull up all the fences that the enemy has put around his territory, and he is going to extend it another mile wide. God is saying to you that, “You need to rise, every week as you gather together, take out the old fences and extend every day. Every time you get together extend another portion, extend another portion”, so that God will give you a larger portion of the city.
Even in this church, in Celebration; when you gather together on Sunday mornings to worship Him; think that you are extending the territory. Don’t just worship for yourself, don’t just worship within; but what you are doing is extending the territory, removing old fences and putting in new ones, removing old boundaries and old territories that have been blocked to you. And the Lord would say unto you again, “You have got to begin to learn to use this Word that He has given to you in this hour. Take this Word and begin to put it into song”.
In the past God has raised up good musicians in your church and the music has gone out, they have prophesied with the instruments; but now God says, “Put the Word in your mouth and prophesy the Word”. The days of music is important; but the days of music has gone by. God is saying, “I have given you new words, so put this Word into music and begin to use these words and begin to create with new material. Create with new ground; with new material create new space. The musicians are great; but you need now to prophesy with more than instruments, you now need words’.
These words that He is going to give to you are materials that He is going to give to you to recreate new things. You are going to recreate miracles; you are going to recreate new things; because it’s the power of the Word. God is saying that the musicians will follow from behind; but the prophetic Word must go forth. It’s not the music; it’s not the instruments; but the Word that must go out. When the Word goes out it is going to create. The musicians are going to facilitate the Word to go out. That’s what you need to have in this hour.
I believe something new is going to be created, something new is going to be in the air all of a sudden, every Sunday morning, every time you gather together, there is going to be like fresh air, there is going to be new breadth. You’ll feel like you have more space, you’re not choked or pushed in a corner, you’ll no longer have difficulty in breathing; but there is breadth for you. There is length for you; height for you; breadth for you; width for you. And God is saying to the church in New Zealand, “I am going to give you the ability to feel in your own heart a freedom and a liberty where you are not choked or pressured or persecuted any more, the day of sighing is over. The days of moaning is over, the days of groaning is over, the days of being unable to breathe is over, the days of being under pressure is over”, and God is saying, “I am going to give you the breadth and space. As far as your eyes can see, I am going to give it to you. As far as your feet can walk, I am going to give it to you. There will be no more limitation what-so-ever. It is going to be open houses, open hearts and open cities”.
“That’s the reason”, God is saying to you, “many times you are afraid because you don’t know what you carry”. But the Lord is going to open your eyes to see what you carry. Many times you are afraid because you don’t know who you are. God will reveal to you who you are. Many times you look at the obstacle and think that this is too difficult, but you don’t know what power you carry. The power that you carry is not yours; it’s not by power or might, but by His Spirit. What you carry is His Spirit and the same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead is upon you and the miracles of resurrection will keep on happening because the same source is upon your life.
God is saying to you in this hour, “Do not pull back; do not regress; do not hide in a cave; because I am going to cause your minds to change. No longer will you have a cave mentality like Gideon but you will have a battle front mentality to go and take back the land. You are not going to wait for people to come to your church but you are going to go out and get them”.
God wants you to go out and get them because you have the authority, God wants you to advance and not be afraid. Don’t just wait for people to walk in, you walk into their territory, walk on to their turf. God is giving you the kind of grace, not only to protect what you have, but to walk into the territory of the enemy and take back every city that is lost. God is going to give you that kind of authority.
In New Zealand we have let so many people go, thinking, “If they want to go they can go”. But God is saying, “Don’t let them go because I have given you power to change them”. This next phase is not just about waiting for people to come, but going into their territory and taking back the works of the enemy. Take back what the enemy has stolen. Take back your brothers; take back your sister; take back your family; take back your health. You have got to become aggressive; get out there and do something.
God is saying, “The church in New Zealand has waited for the enemy to come in like a lion and take one sheep at a time; but the same anointing that came on David is going to come on you and you are going to hit the enemy, you are going to take the enemy by the beard and take back the lamb, and you are going to preserve every one, and the enemy cannot come into your territory; but you are going to the enemies camp and going to take back everything that has been lost. Everything that has been stolen will be returned; mother, father, brother, sister”. God will begin to help you return that because that day is coming for you in this hour.
New Zealand, there are going to be open hearts, open cities, open responses in the hearts of people because the day is coming when the church in New Zealand will not be like a timid lamb; it will be like a roaring lion that will get out there and take on the challenge. You cannot be a lamb and enter into a lion’s territory. You cannot be a lightweight and enter into a heavyweight’s championship. The devils that are coming against us are heavyweights and the church will rise to this measure. God is going to make the church in New Zealand an able opponent, one that can match toe to toe with the enemy. You are not a lightweight any longer. God is going to give you a supernatural grace and authority so that you can deal with powers of the air so that, God is upgrading your grace and upgrading your skills, your talent, your competency, your grace and anointing and begin to lift you up, so that you can see the enemy pushed back and the church of God advanced.
Therefore you will no longer be sitting here and saying, “Let’s see what the Lord can do”. The Lord is looking from heaven and sending the angels on assignment here, waiting for you to carry out the assignment. There is no reason for the Lord to tell you more than He has already told you, because the assignment is clear, “Go change the nation, go heal the sick, go cast out devils, be the light to the city, begin to affect the lives of others”.
Don’t let this become your hideout, don’t let this become you territory, don’t let this become your place of security. The five kings that were destroyed by Joshua, they thought they could hide themselves in a cave and when Joshua found out, he sealed the cave and it became their prison. Then he took them out and killed them and put them back and it became their tomb. Your place of safety can become your prison and your prison can become your tomb.
God said, “Get out, don’t stay within the cave; don’t stay within the compound, get out! The reason you are not seeing many things is because I have given you authority in the open field. I have given you the authority to rule, but you are staying in your house. I have given you authority to change every domain round about, but you are staying inside here and just staying in the Presence of God. Take courage in this hour, get out, advance the territory, take another step, take another fence, take another mile, take another boundary and measure yourself so that God will begin to enlarge your territory”.
The Lord is going to give that to you and the church in New Zealand will begin to shake off all the shackles, shake off the limitations. You will push back all that is holding you back so that you can begin to have a wider sphere of influence in this nation. The church is going to be consulted by the politicians. The church is going to be consulted by the business world, the media and by people round about because our influence is touching them. Don’t wait for them to come to you but your influence should be touching them; break down the walls.
The church in New Zealand is starting to break down the walls and build bridges. It is time for you to know that you are competent for the task. Don’t hide it and think that it can’t be done. It can be done because the Lord God has sent you. Go in the strength of your spirit. Don’t fall back and hide in your family and say you are least in your father’s family; let that be cut off because God has seen your strength ‘you mighty man of valour’. God has seen your form, He has seen your shape and He knows what you are strong in, what you are weak in; and He will bring you along the pathway.
In fact there are times, like with Gideon, when He is going to bring you to hear what non-Christians are saying about your church and that’s going to encourage you. You are going to hear these good things from the Midianites and realise that God has given the Midianites into your hands. Even the non-Christians are going to declare and tell you that they have heard that God is doing this and this and this, and you will know that there is no spirit left in them. That’s the time you will know that yes this is true, we have what it takes to finish the assignment.
New Zealand a new day is beginning for you. Arise and begin to break forth. Arise and do not fall back. Arise and run to the front lines of the battlefield. Like David, the anointing will become aggressive on you. It’s going to cause your feet to run faster and faster. Everything, your heart, your mind is going to race toward the battle.
You are not going to be one hiding behind the bush and coming in slowly, sneaking in on Goliath. You will run and not be weary, you will walk and not faint, you will mount up on wings like an eagle and you will soar. You will speed up the process; you are not going to hide from battle, because you are made for battle, you’re prepared for battle.
So get ready for this work, church in New Zealand. It’s not a time to draw back, it’s not a time to stay under siege; it’s time to take over. It’s time to take over, time to advance forward, advance forward, press in and advance forward. Lay hands on the sick; the sick will recover. Speak and prophesy to the nation; the nation will turn. Declare the Word of the Lord.
God is about to act for His Holy Name. God is about to act because of His Word. He is about to act because His spirit is now in us. He is about to act because that is His purpose. He is about to act because of His people in this hour. God is about to act in this hour. I tell you the days of hesitation will be over for you and me, procrastination will be over; the time is now. New Zealand this is your time, this is your hour. The days of hesitation; be gone. The days of fear; be gone. The days of intimidation; be gone. It is time for you to act because God is about to act. It’s time for you to act in this hour.
Enlarge the place of your tent, enlarge it, strengthen the pegs, stretch out the cords, extend. When you do that, you will start to extend abroad. You will start to go beyond and beyond and beyond. Once you start to do that there will be no end to this. God says extend! Shake off the dust, push; break forth for there is to be no limitation anymore. It’s time to act; it’s time for the church in New Zealand to act. Execute the vengeance of God. Execute the works of the enemy. It’s time to soar with the wings of an eagle, time to run with speed. The King’s business requires haste in this hour. It time to push through and breakthrough and break forth.
Ezekiel 20:47-48
“Behold, I am about to kindle a fire in you that will consume every green tree in you as well as every dry tree. The blazing flame will not be quenched and the whole surface from the north to the south will be burned by it. All flesh will see that I, the Lord, have kindled it. It will not be quenched”.
“This shall be the portion for New Zealand”. God is about to kindle a fire in you first. Then everything around you is going to be consumed. Every green tree, every dry tree, no more limits. No more boundaries. No more walls. No more giants. No more limitation. No more hesitation but the days of fulfillment. Every word that is spoken will be fulfilled. Let God kindle a fire in you. Let it spread from you – ignite the fire!
If we are going to go to battle, we have to have a spirit that is strong because “it is not by might, nor by power, but by the Spirit of the Lord”. The Spirit of the Lord must take hold of our lives afresh. When your spirit is strong all you’ll need to do is lift your hands and the Power of God will hit the place. Why? Because it’s by stature we take over. “Not by might, nor by power, but by the Spirit of the Lord”. New Zealand will never be the same again. This city will never be the same again. The nation will never be the same again.
I am telling you, something is happening in the spirit. Let the Lion roar. Let the Lion roar. There is a Lion of Judah inside our hearts; let it roar. If you start to do that, things will begin to change. The roar of the devil will stop. If you have ever heard a lion roar in the jungle, immediately everything becomes quiet. Oh I’m telling you, I can feel this rising. Let the Lion of Judah roar.”
