As I sat with our gentle and kind Father and was thinking about this Nation of New Zealand and the various words that have been given, some of which do not resonate with me, I asked Him gently if He has a current word for New Zealand and He replied with this word in quotes below which I wrote down as He spoke.

I believe He is beginning to change the way He is speaking to His Family, and He is requiring His people to draw into the intimacy He has been asking us to step into over the past few years. Each of us has a slightly different way of spending time with Him, resting and listening, but it is vitally important that we each engage with these ways consistently now and in the days coming. Life will not get easier now and this is apparent to many of us already.

I believe that there are some changes coming in the ways that our Father will speak to us corporately and He wishes His Family at large to make some Kingdom shifts in the ways they think. Ask Him for yourself and wait for Him to both prepare you for what He wishes to show you and for each word of orientation He gives you.

This below is what I believe He said to me today. His tone was kind, loving and Fatherly as he spoke all of this. It is in two parts, the first is guidance regarding a change in the way I believe He will now move with prophetic people. The second is a more general but very much to the point call to all New Zealanders.

“I do not agree with many prophets for hire. Such a thing is illegal in this country and I will not move with it despite what it seems.

My word for this country is - repent from selfishness and turn to Me, the fountain of living waters, and I will give you rest from fear on every side.

My words are not far from you nor are my mighty acts, so come close and trust me to deliver you instead of trying to twist my arm for it. Who is man to think he can threaten Me with scripture, demanding that I perform to his perception of truth.

I am not a man who lies and I have shown you oh man the way. I came and demonstrated it in My Son so will you follow and find the way of Life that never fades or tarnishes with age?

I am here and available for a time to those who will humble themselves and call to Me to bring them close to My heart and learn who I really am. Selah.
