PROPHETIC WORDS

READYING SONS AND DAUGHTERS FOR A FRESH CALLING

by Cherie Trent

This prophetic word was given at the NZ Council of Prophets gathering in Christchurch, March 2023.

The Spirit of the Lord is hovering actively over NZ

He is actively, purposefully and intentionally readying His sons and daughters for a fresh calling into the purposes of God, lit with the presence of Holy Spirit .

New Zealand, you are being called to prepare actively for harvest and discipleship – another Jesus Movement, filled with harvest, evangelism and discipleship, with the Bible and the Spirit, in healing, empowerment and freedom for the King and the Kingdom. All ages are being called, all ages needed, and over half coming in will be youth. I was shown a stage with Kingdom ministries coming together, ministering into a Summer Harvest type camp – a week long. It represents a length of discipleship and a renewal and conversion, and a dedication to freedom and equipping, with over half being youth, and the rest was all ages together.

Receive an invitation to a renewal movement with simplicity of intercession and worship

Along with this harvest is preparation, not just for evangelism and discipleship, but that preparation will also involve a simplicity of Intercession.

There is going to come a renewal movement in intercession and worship, with a simplicity of declaring, “Let Your Kingdom come, let Your will be done, let the Shepherd come in”, and calling out for the harvest and for harvesters. The Shepherding of the King of Kings in our hearts is going to create a longing, and shift, and a move.

This simplicity of calling out is…

• The Joy of simply walking with Him.

• Calling out for Refreshing on this land. The refreshing and the simplicity, the simplicity of agreeing for His will to be done.

• A fresh desire to bow our knee and partner with heaven in that, partnering with Heaven in Prayer and vibrancy, soaking and worship, healing and creativity, and the fire of God.

Receive faith for Kingdom Team Ministry for equipping

This move of God will ignite a fresh desire in leaders who are crying out and ready to step into that healthy place of serving the great Shepherd, to support this harvest coming in.

In addition to simply equipping in a single gift will be a shift to also modelling through teams flowing together. There is going to be a team grace released, a team anointing released, for people to come across aisles, across gift-mixes, and work together to equip and to steward a harvest coming in for Kingdom purposes.  (And we are going to see this, not just in the harvest, but in communities.)

Shaking of world systems

The Shaking of world systems will continue with Awakening Awe and Fear of the Lord, leading to Godly sorrow, conversions, and recommitments. There will be an increasing awakening to, and turning to, the things of God, as exposure across society and systems happen. It will be like God shaking the matrix, mindset, and culture of Egypt once more. With repentance will come a repudiating of evil and of evil twisting. From sorrow will come an awakening desire to find beauty, washing and cleansing, and a cry for healing will be poured out.

The Shaking is also going to lead to God being highlighted as Creator, and a recognising of His Beauty. This is going to reawaken a call to recognise the DNA that we are made in – the image of God – made male and female, made as family, made as children. It is going to cause a surge of movement of fathers, of parents to children and children to parents. It is going to cause a coming together of families in a new way. This will lead into shift in Communities.

Fresh grace for communities such as Hubs for Renewal, Revival and Reformation

I see these community groups, these lit-up communities, like lighthouses through NZ being awakened. Lighthouses through NZ!

We will see Clapham type groups – supportive of each other, with different skills, bringing the Kingdom and values of God together. This will be an awakening and commitment to the simplicity of carrying out God’s will, a simplicity of building and plumb-lining into God’s will.

The grace and authority for pioneering, building, renewing, and regeneration will continue. There is a call again to the pioneers in the land for fresh initiatives, fresh Kingdom initiatives, fresh awakening, fresh assignments.

There is going to be clarity in assignments, clarity in initiatives, a release for new educational purposes, a new move in education of the ways of God. 

God is going to be looking for those who can work with Him across spheres, work with Him without carrying offence, to call in the things of God and call out destiny.

In community there is also going to be a favour on small businesses and large, for local and national involvement, and a calling out of destiny on land and community.

There is going to be a Reawakening to the truth that ‘Jesus is enough’ and He paid the price for the settling of division, division with people, division through history. An invitation is going out for cultural theories to be laid down, for a re-instituting of the ways of God.

Renewal is coming in family communities, leading to revival and reformation of things, to be able to bring a redeeming call and blessing over the land. People are going to be stepping into the understanding that ‘Jesus is enough’ to redeem the past and to redeem the identity in that area, and the fresh freedom, fresh awakening, that it can bring. People are going to be reawakened and revitalised.

The shaking will set people and places free to see more clearly, and to hunger for purity of purpose, for truth and for God.

The time is now to prepare. If we haven’t already started, start to prepare for a fresh move, a fresh wave, for fresh local and national initiatives. For fresh commitment and fresh zeal for this land for the purposes of God.
