The Church Will Not Be a Refuge for the Comfortable, but a Forge for the Ready

There is a restructuring coming to the house of God in New Zealand. Many have treated the church as a sanctuary for comfort, rather than a forge for transformation. I am shifting the nature of My gatherings—no longer will they be places of passive observance, but training grounds for those who will carry My presence beyond the walls.

Prepare for the unexpected. I will disrupt services with waves of repentance. There will be moments when My presence will rest so heavily that no sermon will be preached, no program will continue. Those who try to manufacture revival will be exposed, but those who yield to My movement will steward a lasting outpouring.

"Endure hardship as discipline; God is treating you as His children. For what children are not disciplined by their father?" (Heb 12:7).

“"Return to Me, and I will return to you," says the Lord Almighty” (Mal 3:7).

The Apostolic Wells Are Being Uncapped

The pioneering spirit that once marked the early missionaries and evangelists of this land will be reignited. I am sending a fresh wave of apostles—not by title, but by function. They will not build denominations, but will establish Kingdom centres—hubs of presence, training, and sending.

"See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?" (Isa 43:19).

Even among the Māori people, I will raise up indigenous apostles who will carry My authority into realms yet unreached.

"From the ends of the earth we hear singing: ‘Glory to the Righteous One’" (Isa 24:16).

These apostolic centers will not rely on financial campaigns, but on supernatural provision. The storehouses of heaven will be unlocked where faith is exercised, and resources will flow like rivers where obedience is found.

"And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of His glory in Christ Jesus" (Phil 4:19).

Revival in the University Halls and the Corporate Towers

The revival that is coming will not be contained within church services. The most dramatic conversions will happen in places of education and influence. I am setting My sights on the university halls of this nation, places where skepticism has reigned, and I will turn them into burning altars of My presence.

"I will pour out My Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams" (Joel 2:28).

Watch as the media world begins to shift. I will expose corruption in high places, but I will also raise up voices in film, journalism, and technology who will unapologetically carry My wisdom.

"You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden" (Matt 5:14).

The Shaking Will Precede the Awakening

Do not be alarmed when you see systems fall. The economic and political spheres will be shaken, and fear will attempt to grip the nation. But I am allowing the shaking to expose the weakness of earthly foundations so that My people will finally see that their security is in Me alone.

Do not pray for stability—pray for alignment. I am calling My church to be anchored in My voice, not in the policies of man.

"Once more I will shake not only the earth but also the heavens." (Heb 12:26).

"Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to Him, and He will make your paths straight" (Prov 3:5-6).

A New Sound Will Come from New Zealand

There is a sound waiting to emerge from this land, but it will not be an imitation of what has come from other nations. I am breaking the mold of worship culture as you have known it. The songs of this next move will come from encounters, not from corporate strategy.

"Sing to the Lord a new song; sing to the Lord, all the earth" (Psa 96:1).

Do not despise the raw and unpolished sounds, for I am raising up a Davidic generation whose worship will tear down strongholds in the nation.

"But the hour is coming, and is now here, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father is seeking such people to worship Him" (John 4:23).

Warning of Invasion: The Call to Spiritual Warfare

New Zealand, hear the word of the Lord. Your land is under watch, and the enemy has marked it as vulnerable. There is a spiritual and natural invasion being plotted against you. The days of peaceful complacency are over, for the enemy sees that the gates have been left unguarded. But I am sounding the alarm, calling My people to wake up and take their place upon the walls of intercession. If you do not arise in prayer, if you do not fortify the spiritual borders, you will see the consequences of an unguarded nation.

"Blow the trumpet in Zion; sound the alarm on My holy mountain. Let all who live in the land tremble, for the day of the Lord is coming. It is close at hand" (Joel 2:1).

The Threat of an Invasion: The Enemy’s Strategy

There are forces—both in the natural and in the spirit—that seek to exploit the spiritual apathy of this nation. The enemy is watching, waiting for the moment when the people of God remain silent and distracted. There is a coordinated assault being prepared, one that would seek to weaken the sovereignty of this land, disrupt its peace, and infiltrate its borders.

Do not think that because you are an island nation, you are safe from the global shaking. Do not assume that because past wars have not touched your soil, you will remain untouched in the future. There is a geopolitical shift, and powers that once remained distant are now taking interest in your shores. Some nations will seek to control you through political means; others will do so by economic entanglements; but the most dangerous war is the one being fought in the spirit.

If My people do not rise up in spiritual warfare, this land will be overtaken by foreign influences that do not honor My name. There are forces of darkness that wish to control your government, your education, and even the words that can be spoken from My pulpits.

"Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes" (Eph 6:11).

The Call to the Warriors: Intercession Must Arise

New Zealand, I have placed within you a remnant of warriors, those who carry the spirit of the haka in the spirit realm. This is not a time for passive prayers or quiet devotions. This is a time for militant intercession, where My people cry out with authority and refuse to give their land to the enemy.

• Raise up the Watchmen – I am calling intercessors to stand at the gates of the nation and discern the enemy’s movements before they manifest. Every region must have a watchman, every city a guard.

  "I have posted watchmen on your walls, Jerusalem; they will never be silent day or night. You who call on the Lord, give yourselves no rest." (Isa 62:6).

• Break the Spirit of Passivity – Too many have been lulled into thinking that safety is guaranteed. This is a deception. You must fight for the spiritual integrity of this land!

  "Woe to you who are complacent in Zion, and to you who feel secure on Mount Samaria!" (Amos 6:1).

• Fast and Consecrate Yourselves – There must be a national movement of prayer and fasting, not for personal breakthrough alone, but for the preservation of this land.

  "Consecrate a fast; call a solemn assembly. Gather the elders and all the inhabitants of the land to the house of the Lord your God, and cry out to the Lord" (Joel 1:14).

A Nation That Forgets God Will Fall

If you allow the government to dictate the voice of the church, if you allow the enemy to legislate against righteousness without resistance, you will become a nation overtaken by foreign gods. I have given you time to repent, but that time is closing. The world is shifting, and those who do not take their stand now will be swallowed by the tide.

New Zealand, will you stand and fight, or will you allow yourself to be taken? The decision is in the hands of My people. If the intercessors arise, if the spiritual warriors take their place, I will be a wall of fire around this nation, and the plans of the enemy will fail. But if My people remain asleep, if they continue to prioritize comfort over calling, they will wake up to a nation that is no longer their own.

"If My people, who are called by My name, will humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land" (2 Chron 7:14).

Final Charge: Man Your Stations, Prepare the Altars

New Zealand, the hour is urgent. The invasion is not yet upon you, but it is forming. The spiritual battle is intensifying, and I am calling My church to man their stations and prepare the altars. You must awaken from complacency, fortify your spiritual defenses, and raise up a wall of prayer. The battle will not be won through human effort, strategy, or policy—it will be won on your knees, in the place of consecration. The churches that prepare the altars will carry the fire, and those who seek entertainment rather than encounter will be swept away in the coming shaking.

Tear down the high places of self-sufficiency and return to dependence on Me. There can be no compromise, no mixture. I will not pour new wine into old wineskins (Mark 2:22). The days of shallow devotion are over. Those who refuse to be refined will not be able to stand in the days ahead. I am calling the intercessors from the fringes to the forefront. The watchmen must take their place, the prophets must lift their voices, and the church must become a furnace of unceasing prayer.

If you respond to this call, you will see divine intervention. Strongholds will collapse, the enemy’s plans will be exposed, and angelic forces will fight on your behalf. You will see a revival of righteousness that will make New Zealand an example among the nations. But if you do nothing, the consequences will come swiftly, and the enemy will take what you failed to guard.

"Break up your unplowed ground, and do not sow among thorns" (Jer 4:3).

"Who will rise up for Me against the wicked? Who will take a stand for Me against evildoers?" (Psa 94:16).

New Zealand, arise! This is your moment to contend for the destiny of your land. Let the altars be restored, let the warriors take their stand, and let My people be found ready—for I am coming with holy fire.

"Who may ascend the mountain of the Lord? Who may stand in His holy place? The one who has clean hands and a pure heart" (Psa 24:3-4).
