PROPHETIC WORDS

AN URGENT HOUR

by Chelsea Hagen

This prophetic word was given at the NZ Council of Prophets gathering and Behold Conference in Christchurch, March 2024.

We are in an urgent hour, a desperate hour for the Church. 

I hear in the spirit and have for quite some time heard the sound of a bell – like in the pub (pre-saved days), they would ring the bell when the bar was about to close for the night. Someone would shout, “Last drinks, last drinks.” As the time ticked by they would ring the bell more urgently and yell louder. 

I feel this in my spirit and have for quite some time; we are in an urgent hour in history for the harvest. 

I was praying for the church, and I heard God say this, “I will not let MY Church fall by the wayside.” 

The resources you need will be there; the people you need will be there. God is fiercely jealous of His Church. 

We are at a time of the threshing floor of God.

First, there is the… 

1.    harvesting – cutting down the wheat. Then…

2.    threshing – separating the wheat from the chaff. Then… 

3.    winnowing – the final separation by tossing the gain in the wind. 

Mat 3:12, “Whose fan is in his hand, and he will throughly purge his floor, and gather his wheat into the garner; but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.”

If you want to know what God is doing right now prophetically, He is separating the chaff from the wheat in our lives; He is weeding out anything and everything that is not of Him, and if we submit to the process, we will possess the promise. 

He is preparing us individually and corporately for the wedding supper of the Lamb. 

We need to come back to hunger and thirst for the fear of the Lord. 

Prov 14:26, “In the fear of the LORD is strong confidence: and his children shall have a place of refuge. The fear of the LORD is a fountain of life, to depart from the snares of death.”

Many are called, and few are chosen – Few will submit to the process of the Lord.

God calls everyone, and it is not His will any should perish. But so many have their excuses; they are too busy 

Luke 14:16 - 23, “Then said he unto him, A certain man made a great supper, and bade many:  And sent his servant at supper time to say to them that were bidden, Come; for all things are now ready. And they all with one consent began to make an excuse. The first said unto him, I had bought a piece of ground, and I must needs go and see it: I pray thee have me excused.  And another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to prove them: I pray thee have me excused. And another said, I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come. So that servant came, and shewed his lord these things. Then the master of the house being angry said to his servant, Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in hither the poor, and the maimed, and the halt, and the blind. And the servant said, Lord, it is done as thou hast commanded, and yet there is room. And the lord said unto the servant, Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled.”

To honestly choose God we have to understand, and commit to, the process of sifting; we must, in this hour, be able to… 

• Endure 

• Persevere 

• Stand 

We can't continue to resist every challenging situation and run from every hardship or obstacle in the way. We must stay and finish the work God gave us to do. 

It's the crushing of self that produces the oil; it's the laying on the altar before God. 

Have your way in me, Lord. 

Luke 20:18, “Whosoever shall fall upon that stone shall be broken; but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.” 

There is a cost, friends. We can't pick and choose what we are obedient to. It must be all or nothing. Finish your Father's work, don’t abandon and desert His work when it gets hard; learn to endure, stand your ground, and stay at your post. Build something of worth, something that won't be burnt up in that day when we cross into eternity.

We need to let Him dig deep 

• Let Him adjust wrong attitudes 

• Address our selfishness 

• Selfish ambition

• Comparison

• Selfish Ambition 

• Jealousy

• Lust

• Pride

• Anger

• Envy  

Whatever the areas are, God wants to deal with them so we can be free and be all He has called us to be. 

But we must choose to bow our will to the Lordship of Jesus. 

God needs to have our perpetual YES!! Whatever you ask me to do, Lord, I will do with joy. 

God is smashing the idol of Mammon

If we want to see the wealth transfer from the sinner to the righteous, we need to be generous toward God. So often, we tip God instead of honouring Him. 

God is taking us from glory to glory and strength to strength 

We must stay the course. We must continually submit ourselves to the process of God. We must constantly say ‘yes’, and let God move in our lives and God will take us from glory to glory and strength to strength. 

New Zealand, God has not forgotten you; neither has He passed you by. He is waiting for the manifestation of the sons and daughters of God. Those who know their God will do great exploits. Rise, sons and daughters of God, and preach the word with great boldness. I declare that God will have His way in New Zealand, that a mighty Harvest will come in. The people would turn from their sins and turn to the living God. That people would turn their eyes away from worthless things. 

Psa 22:27, “All the ends of the world shall remember and turn unto the LORD: and all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before thee. For the kingdom is the LORD'S: and he is the governor among the nations.”

Revive me according to Your Word

Psa 143:11, Revive me O Lord for your name’s sake…

• Revive me in Your way

• Revive me according to Your lovingkindness 

• Revive me according to Your justice 

• Revive me according to Your judgements

• Revive me in Your righteousness

• Strengthen me according to Your Word

• Deliver me according to Your Word

• Be merciful to me according to Your Word

• May Your merciful kindness be for my comfort according to Your Word
