PROPHETIC WORDS

THE REBUILD

by Lorinda Periera

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

I had a series of visions last year of wooden frames and structures of houses without walls, doors or windows. Literally frames standing on foundations.

Following that I heard in the Spirit a cracking, breaking sound in the mountains.

I recalled a historical Tauparapara of our whenua..

'Ko Panguru, Ko Papata, Ko Te rakau tu patapata i tu ki te Hauauru'

Panguru is our mountain.
It was once volcanic, and was originally named Ponga-ruru – the shaking of the ponga.

Te rakau tu patapata i tu ki te Hauauru speaks about the breaking of trees that stand closely together to the West.

Another vison came of giant ancient Kauri being haulled out from the Ngahere (forest).

I asked the Lord, what they were for and heard, "The re-build."

I saw many hands skilfully placing the giant Kauri against the frame of the house. The pillars came together, sealed, and went up as far as I could see. The structure did not resemble a house that I had ever seen, but it was breath-taking and I knew instinctively that it was  much better than the previous.

As I sat with this I received the following revelations of key kupu – indication of God’s plan for His bride.

Kohi: gathering
Hono: bond/seal/fuse -ing
Hanga: create/build/rebuild -ing

The activation of Tu-mana-ko (hope) to sustain us.

Tu: standing
Mana: in authority
Ko: in identity (ko wai)

Te Anaga Mua o Ngahuru.. (Moving forward in this season)

Undeniably there has been a shaking in the Earth and in the hearts of our nation. If the world was likened to a Whare or house..things have moved/been displaced, resulting in a physical shift for many. Things have fallen, shattered/been lost, resulting in new life solutions. And foundational structures and frameworks remain standing, awaiting 'the rebuild'.

If this resounds I want to encourage you.. It is NOT the time to fight your physical shift, whatever that looks like, or stay stuck in grief for what has been lost. It IS time to rebuild upon the foundational structures that withstood the "Ru" shaking.

Kohi: There is a gathering of building materials from the land that were destined and designed to withstand the elements.
Hono: There is a unity fusing of these new (but ancient) materials to the existing foundational structures.
Hanga: The rebuild will be like nothing we could have ever imagined, outside our own creative ability, utilising the concealed, but NOW revealed, builders of Kingdom.

*The promises for our life and nations is held in our hope to get through this process.

Hope: Te Tu-Mana-Ko

Tu - Standing
Mana - Knowing our authority
Ko - Knowing who we really are

So move on with the mahi (work) ahead in confidence knowing ..

• This whare will be stronger than ever before.

• This whare will be adorned by the heavens like nothing we have ever seen.

• And THIS whare will function as shelter, safety and home to many of us in this season.

Ka hoatu ano e ahau ki a koe nga ki o te    rangatiratanga o te rangi..
Matiu 16:19
(Keys to the Kingdom)

Although I released this generically with my own understanding to a wider audience, I believe in its fullness and interpretation from the body. This prophecy is to encourage the church to move forward in the new year.

Ngahuru is the season we are in now, the season the Hapu (tribe) plan for the year coming (Matariki)

E Mihi ana whanau!

Arohanui na matou ki Muriwhenua.
