PROPHETIC WORDS

PROPHETIC WORDS FOR NEW ZEALAND

by Arleen Westerhof

June 2025

These prophetic words for New Zealand were given at prophetic gatherings in early May 2025. 

Awakening Conference in Christchurch, Friday 2nd May

“There is an angelic gathering above this place. I could see them coming in this afternoon. They looked almost like storm clouds, but the Lord said, this is not a demonic gathering. The armies of heaven have gathered over this place. And that is going to have a number of different impacts. You are going to see a number of different things.

New Zealand. New Zealand. You are the land of fire and ice. You are the land of fire and ice. God is saying, “New Zealand I have made you a nation that is able to accommodate both extremes, fire and ice. But God is saying that the revival and awakening and the move that I am unleashing now, says God, it is a move that will not be able to be contained in one denomination, in one stream – this is a move of unity now. But unity and diversity and diversity in the unity. God is saying, ‘I will have My church. I will be worshipped in My church, in New Zealand. The Lord is saying, you are going to see signs in the natural – you are going to see more shiftings, more earthquakes in this area. There will be volcanic eruptions, but know that when these things happen it is a sign that I am moving, says the Lord. Embrace the shifting. The Lord is saying, I am shifting things that have been stuck under this nation for hundreds of years.

The Lord is saying it is not going to go smooth, but God is saying, My power is there to shift you now. The Lord is saying that the move of God that you are about to experience is a move of fire of the Holy Spirit. It is a move of the fire of the Holy Spirit and that fire will melt the ice on the mountain tops. Even the ice, the snow on the mountains has had a preserving effect, says the Lord. There are seeds that the old mystics knew. They were My mystics. There were secrets in the scrolls that they managed to see. God is saying, I am going to melt the ice so that you can access those secrets now. The Lord is saying, do not forget My words.

The leaves of the trees are for the healing of the nations. God is saying to you New Zealand: medical innovation, medical technology. Pretty soon some of the cures for diseases we thought incurable, I will release through you. So, New Zealand rejoice, says the Lord. This is your day; this is your hour. The Lord is saying this is how you will be of service to the nations. I release the innovative gene that God has put into you. The heavenly DNA of extreme innovation and daring that God has placed in the DNA of His nation.

Even as I say this nation, I keep wanting to say nations; there are nations within a nation; there are nations within a nation. The Lord says now to that fighting warrior spirit – ARISE. Come out in the name of Jesus. This afternoon, I kept hearing a song “Nice kitty, tame kitty, rest, rest, rest.” That is song the devil that has been singing that over the church in New Zealand for a long, long time. God is saying, I am the Lion of Judah. You are My children. You are not nice kitties. You are not tame kitties. God says to the church in New Zealand, You have known Me as the Lamb, but in this season you will know Me as the Lion of Judah. And that Lion is roaring NOW, says God. In the Name of Jesus, you will know Him as the Lion of Judah.

God is saying, I am not a safe Lion – not for the devil. I will not be a safe Lion for some of My church. The Lord is saying to those who have become complacent with one picture of Me, He is saying, I am going to shatter that one picture of Me, because I am the Lion of Judah, and the Lion is rising NOW. New Zealand, I bless you. This will be a time of shaking, but the shaking is here because My Spirit is moving.

God is saying you are going to see more shaking in government. Even now. The Lord is saying prophets of God, God’s prophetic people in New Zealand – it is time not just to pray, but to declare. Use your weapons of warfare, of holy proclamation, declaration. The Lord is saying, you have been armed. The Lord is saying, as you use the proclamation, you will now become dangerous to the realm of darkness in this region.

I see a sound wave coming out of New Zealand. It is literally the prophetic sound, but it is also the warrior sound. It is the warrior sound. I break the power of the lie right now over the church in NZ that we are supposed to be ‘nice’. I am not talking the fruit of the Spirit right now – the Lord is saying, the enemy of our souls has taken advantage of a not God-given timidity. The Lord says don’t forget I have given you a spirit of power, of love and a sound mind. You are going to get a lot noisier, church of New Zealand, in the next while. The Lord is saying, I am releasing your VOICE! God says revival is a choice now. You are in it. You are in it. The signs in the natural have already gone ahead of you. You are in it, says God. Revival is now a choice.

Prophetic Gathering in Tauranga, Monday 5th May

(Prophetic word from the Shulamite woman) “The Lord is saying, I am breathing My prophetic on this area. Tauranga, you were always meant to be a prophetic region. I see spiritual experiences even in your forefathers. Those spiritual experiences have been shut down and those experiences have been shut down by a spirit of religion that meant well, but it crushed the prophetic and crushed the super-natural. I break that power of that spirit of religion. I break religion that meant well, that crushed the dreams, the hopes, God’s dreams, God’s hopes – but not forever. God says, NOW My Spirit is moving again. I call forth the prophetic in this region. I speak to the ground that we are standing on right now. And I say to the Spirit of the living God, the Holy Spirit is the Spirit behind the prophetic – and I say, COME FORTH, in the NAME OF JESUS.

For God says, there are things that I have yet to do in this region for the fame of My Name, says the Lord, In New Zealand. All the earth will shout His praise. All of NZ is going to shout His praise and God says, what I do in this in place is an essential part of that happening. I still love the world, the cosmos, not just the people.

Tauranga, you are going to prophesy. Part of scene, you are going to prophesy. There are people who are going to come and walk this ground area; there are people who are going to come – even non-believers. My Spirit will not indwell in non-believers. In Scripture Balaam’s donkey prophesied when the spirit of prophecy came upon him. Tauranga, I anoint you in the Name of Jesus to prophesy. To prophesy. To speak the words of God that He gives you; to hear the voice of God clearly, but also with the discernment to know when it is Him and when it is not.

I call forth a heightened discernment in Jesus’ Name. I call forth the apostolic anointing for innovation and setting up centres. Centres, centres, centres in the Name of Jesus for all sorts of things; not just for church, but also for society. So that all of society will sing His praise.

This is the appointed time. You will not have to wait. God has been working. There has been a gestation period that has been years in the making. This is the appointed time. It is now, says God. It is not next week. It is not next year. It is now. It is not maybe sometime. This is the appointed time. I break the silence on the church here, especially on His prophetic people.

John 10: 27 “ALL my sheep hear my voice.” If you know the Lord Jesus Christ as your Saviour and Lord of your life, you are prophetic. He knows us.

You are going to speak things out promised by the Lord. He is showing me that there are MANY prophetic words spoken out over this region. You are going to speak them out and you are not going to say, ‘Oh, maybe we missed it. Maybe that was for another time.” The Lord is saying, you are going to speak those things out. Lord, you said, and it is for this time!

It is awakening time. Revival changes the heart of the individual, Tauranga, you are called to change the heart of the nation. You are called the heart of the nation. I speak to your heart; I speak to your spirits tonight! The Lord wants you to know to listen to His voice and do what He says. Just listen to My voice and do what I say. Jesus changed the world with 12. They were not qualified or especially gifted, certainly were not eloquent – so all of us qualify!

The devil wants you to think that your promise has died. There are some of you in this room that have received promises from God that have not come to fruition as you thought they would. There are others in this room, you started to see things happen and sometimes through no fault of your own things came crashing down. The Lord is saying, just like the Shulamite women – He is here tonight. God says, I am the one who made the promise, and I am the one who will fulfil it. It is not about how much faith you can muster. He is the one who will fulfil it no matter how dead it looks.

Those who are here – welcome the prophetic. The prophetic voice will allow you to see things you have not seen before. The prophetic voice will allow you to resurrect hope again.
