A New Day For New Zealand
21 August 2008

I see the sun coming upon the horizon.  Though it has been a dark night, I see the sun is beginning to rise.  It is rising over the green hills of New Zealand.  The darkness of the night sky is turning into light blue as the sun rises over the green hills. 
 
It is a new day for New Zealand and the sun is beginning to shine.  The glory of the Lord shall shine once again upon the land of New Zealand and the clouds shall dissipate.  The darkness that has been over this nation shall dissipate and the brightness of the sun shall cause a clear day.
 
I see fields that are so green and lush, so blessed of God, that many sheep can feed in them.  Let it be a sign in the natural of that which is taking place in the spirit concerning the flock of God, God’s people in this land.  You will be well fed and you shall be cared for from a great and good Shepherd.  He will feed the flocks of New Zealand and they will be strengthened, nourished and cared for.  I see these healthy sheep are healthy people of God once again.  This will be from the South Island to the North Island.  
 
I see many sheep, thousands upon thousands.  They are running in groups to the river and they are prancing through the river.  The river is cleaning the hooves of their feet for some have been tainted and soiled by other shepherds that have led them astray into fields that have not had green grass, nor fresh pastures, nor have they been led to still waters. 
 
Even this night for God’s people in New Zealand, God says that “I shall bring forth a refreshing, a feeding, a healing and crystal clear waters.  My people shall be cleansed, healed and refreshed and I shall bless my flock.  I shall bless my people in New Zealand and I will bring forth a blessing.”
 
I see many new lambs coming because of the healthiness of the sheep that are in this land.  I see that the paddocks aren’t fenced in anymore but rather I see open plains.  The paddock fences have been broken down and now the sheep are now free.  Those fences represent the control of man.  Many have been controlled in the churches by abusive shepherds, shepherds that have not cared properly for the sheep.  But there is a good Shepherd and He has risen and the Son of Glory is shining on New Zealand.  The sun is shining once again and there is a clear new day, a new dawn.  Let the sun warm your soul and be refreshed.
 
I see a weavers needle sowing throughout the land of the South Island.  The weavers needle has woolen yarn on it and it is beginning to weave the South Island and the North Island together.  There won’t be a distance or a division between the islands anymore. 
 
I see that there is going to be great unity in the body of Christ.  There has been division in the nation concerning the churches and the people of God.  There has been competition, jealousy, envy, back-biting, betrayal but the Lord is bringing forth a unity to this nation.  People are going to begin to desire unity, to honor one another, to forgive one another and bring forth restoration to each other.  As they do that, healing will come and there will be great anointing that comes from it.  There will be great power that comes from unity and it must be preached, it must be proclaimed. 
 
Anything that is spoken negatively which brings forth word curses and divisions between the churches and denominations must be corrected.  For the pride of man will fall but those that are humble in heart will begin to arise and there will be new voices that arise in this nation.  They will speak from the Fathers heart and declare truths from heaven.  They will speak without compromise that which God wants and they will speak forth the words of God straight from the heart of God.  It will bring forth truth, freedom and even a correction to those that need it; for him who the Father loves, He corrects.
 
I see shepherds in the winter wearing woolen garments but they are cold.  These are shepherds that have lived in the winter seasons of their walks with God and they have fleeced the sheep, taken their wool and worn it as garments for themselves.  This must be repented of.  If they will repent, they will come out of that cold season of their lives and they will be redirected to the fire of God. 
 
I see a fire burning and I see these shepherds being directed to the fire.  As they get closer to the fire they are being warmed by it.  I believe there will be many shepherds that will come to the refiner’s fire that purges all the wickedness out.  “Like an earthen vessel overlaid with silver dross are burning lips and a wicked heart” (Prov 26:23).  But fire burns off that tarnish and it removes the dross where the metal begins to shine again.  This refining work must begin with the leaders in New Zealand.
