PROPHETIC WORDS
A WORD FOR THE BODY OF CHRIST
by Ruth Tuiraviravi
This prophetic word was given at the Prophetic Round Table gathering and Behold Conference in Christchurch, March 2026.
I feel the Lord say, “As a mother hen gathers her chicks, I am calling my Bride to me. I am jealous of her with an all-consuming love.”
The Lord is narrowing the gate. What was once a wide path of choice, the Spirit of the Lord is now refining, purifying and asking His sons and daughters, “Who will you serve?” He is looking for partners to extend His Kingdom here on earth. He is the voice of One calling in the wilderness (which we now see in our world). He is the way, the truth and the life. The Lord is saying in this season, your relationships with like-minded, like-hearted and like-called are essential. I am asking you not only to unite, but to be one as we are one. (John 17: 20-21) It is time to truly take up your cross and follow me.
“I AM the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. I AM still the great I AM. Will you be one as we are one? Will you lay down your lives, your preferences, your opinions, your hurts and move past yourself and truly be one? I am asking for more than unity, but to be one, in heart, in love and in purpose. This will cost – cost who you believe you are, however, in this oneness, in this pursuit of My heart, you will see Me like never before. I will turn up in your midst. There will be healing, there will be My glory, there will be salvations, the Body will find her purpose, there will be deliverance because you will be one with Me, and I will be one with you. My heart will be your heart. My glory will increase.
The oneness of My Body, My Bride, will be like interlocked shields. Shields of faith, power and glory. I will bring you into relationships with others that you have never believed possible. Relationships across the generations, across the cultures, across the divide. Lock your shields. Be arm in arm.
My Body, My Bride will experience an increase in My presence. This will be experienced as pressure. The holiness and the fear of the Lord. The presence is like the force behind a tsunami. Quietly but strongly pushing forward. My glory will bring a further cleansing, a renewal of a consecrated heart, mind and body for Me. In its wake will be a Bride who shines like the sun, a city on a hill that will be seen.
My Bride will be seen in the marketplace with strategies and creative solutions that come from Me. The nations will look at New Zealand and wonder how a little nation can have such a global impact. It is because I am breathing on this nation. I am releasing solutions. I am releasing miracles – not through the world’s systems, but through My sons and daughters.
New Zealand, New Zealand. You are the land of the long white cloud of My glory. I will pour out My presence and My glory upon you. Get your heart ready. You ARE a prophet forerunner nation NOW. I will begin to send you out. I will increase your scope. Your spheres and your mountains (metrons) of influence will increase. Even in the realm of science and medicine, you will see My hand move. The years of the promises have taken place – now is the time for the fruit and the harvest.
My fires, which are in homes and hearts across this nation, will begin to spread. The fire of a passion for Me. Hearts and lives were laid down for Me. This fire will spread because the nations and nations, your communities, will see the love you have for Me and for one another. Lives laid down. Lives of love. Lives in oneness.
Fling wide your gates to receive more of Me. Stretch out your tent pegs to not only receive more of Me, but more relationships, more strategic partners. I am raising up an army. A strong, mobile and fluid Body. My Kingdom is coming; the Kingdom is coming in increase. My heart for the lost, for the nations, will be felt. It is not the time for ‘our’ plan, but My Plan. There will be an increase of the five-fold working together in this nation; with the apostles, the prophets, the teachers, the shepherds and the evangelists. I am mobilising the body. Training, equipping and mobilising her. It is time.”
