Recently when we traveled overseas I received this impression about the challenges and changes we would see and experience in the nation of New Zealand. At times when I feel the burden to pray for the country, I’m conscious of the fact that we are living in a time of uncertainty and opportunity. The first impression I had was that there was going to be a great shaking in the nation, both physically and spiritually. The nation would experience a huge earthquake and, as this shock was being realized, this would open the nation to the glory to come upon the nation.
The scripture in Haggai 2:7-9 came to me: “And I will shake all nations, and they shall come to the Desire of All Nations, and I will fill this temple with glory, says the Lord of host (v 8). The silver is Mine, and the gold is Mine, says the Lord of hosts. (v 9). The glory of this latter temple shall be greater than the former, says the Lord of hosts and in this place I will give peace, says the Lord.” God is dealing with evil in the nation. The ruling authorities would be purged by fire, the leaders of the nation would experience the wrath of God and wickedness will be overthrown.
The spirit of perversion and its strong men, abortion, atheism, child abuse, chronic worrying, contentions, doctrinal errors, evil actions, filthy minds, foolishness, hate, hatred of God, homosexuality, incest, lustfulness, perverting of the Gospel, pornography, rebellion, self-lovers, sexual perversions, turning the Truth, twisting of words, wounded spirits, wrong teachings, will be overthrown in the nation. There will be much contention and infighting in the different political parties and the Government of the day will be without answers for the nation.
I felt inspired as in Joel 1:14 ~ “Consecrate a fast, call a sacred assembly; gather the elders and all the inhabitants of the land into the house of the Lord your God, and cry out to the Lord.”
Prepare the remnant ~ who are called by My Name ~ to be ready, to do great exploits for Me; for greater works will they do in My name!
As the nation of New Zealand will be used in the South Pacific region to do great signs and wonders, they will be used like a great threshing instrument to fulfill My purposes in many of the nations.
Hosea 6:3 ~ “His going forth is established as the morning; He will come to us like the rain, like the latter and former rain to the earth.”
For My Spirit will be poured out on this nation, as the glory of the Lord will come from the east, and His voice will be heard like many waters. The country of the Long White Cloud will be a forerunner in the things of the Spirit of God. The voice of the prophets of this nation will be heard; they will have eyes to see like an eagle, and will proclaim My Will, with an authority that comes from My Spirit.
They will be ambassadors for Me with a message of love, mercy and grace, and divine healing and signs and wonders will follow these ambassadors to the ends of the earth. Many will come to see that God is doing in this place. The Lord of Hosts will arise with healing in His wings!
Blessing and kind regards,
