PROPHETIC WORDS

WORD FOR NZ AND NZ PROPHETS

by Maria Mason

March 2025

This prophetic word was given at the NZ Council of Prophets gathering and Behold Conference in Christchurch, March 2025.

Exposing the Enemy

This past season of warfare has tried to destroy the prophets in the nations and NZ. The current prophetic community has made a tremendous theological error by moving away from the theology of spiritual warfare and minimising the enemy’s desires and plans!

Paul told the Ephesians: “And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them” Eph 5:10. To reprove means to expose! We do this in the prayer room! We expose all plots of the evil one and bind and break his power.

The apostolic and prophetic warfare has increased to destroy the prophetic and apostolic movement before it kicks into the next level. The enemy has strategically worked to strike where it would hurt! Satan knows exactly who to attack and how. He implements a plan with skill and precision to destroy the prophets and the prophetic:

“Nowadays, you can pretty much say anything in the Body of Christ regarding doctrine or bad theology, but if you call the church to repent – you can get your head cut off! There are mockers, haters, critical commentators, and lifestyle Christians waiting in the wings to pounce violently on our leaders. No wonder we are all having trouble finding the next generation of leaders” .......from my book ‘The Heart Prophet – A Manual for Feelers, Seers and Heart Restorers’.

Eph 6:10,11, “Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armour of God so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes.” SCHEMES = cunning arts, deceit, craft, trickery.

It is also clear that with each passing decade, the number of spirits of witchcraft, confusion, deception, and insanity has escalated against the prophets, and this has been like a tipping point to some of the mess we are now in as a movement.

Many have taken direct hits from targeted fiery darts that aim at to derail the prophets, and are so intense that to continue almost seems impossible, so they sin or go numb, or both!

God has a better plan, and it’s healing!

Healing in the Body

Healing in the Body starts with restoring the prophets who have taken a lot of hits!

It is time to validate that the warfare has been massive for the apostolic and the prophetic.

Many prophets have been traumatised by the warfare. God is identifying healthy and unhealthy in this hour in prophetic culture, but it all starts with the heart and being well connected!

God is also raising up the heart prophets who desire to bring Repentance, Renewal and Restoration. They will talk about revival, but not without the above 3 Rs mentioned regularly!

God is raising activated sons – who will bring a cultural shift because they are dialled into what is really going on! Discernment is the frontline word for all believers now.

In the coming years...

The Church Will Arise and Take Her Place

The church will arise and take her place in this nation(s) in a new way, with a powerful intercessory cry! From the secret place to the marketplace there is a return to governmental authority coming as the Church prays together daily.

We are moving towards an authentic Acts 2.42 culture! They didn’t gather to fellowship; they gathered for power! The power to overcome!

Soon the measuring stick will be “Are they in prayer meetings where the fire came?” not “Are they in church on Sunday?”

Five nights ago, I had a dream for New Zealand prophets. I was in the mouth of God, and we (Jesus and I) were examining His teeth. The Lord revealed that in this dream, His teeth are the prophets!

There were good ones (strong teeth) and some yellow ones (unhealthy teeth). God says “There is some infection in the gums – some bitterness and poison has been absorbed”

The Lord says, “Remove all personal offences at all costs. Get rid of the poison.”

I noticed some prophets are under Ahab and trapped in the poison of intimidation. I feel the Father saying, “Beware of the spirit of Ahab! Get under the spout of the HOUSE OF PRAYER. It’s time to pray off the old assignments and come under the new mantle God has for you – UNITY is a non-negotiable in the next move of God.”

Shifting / Sifting

There is coming a cultural and spiritual revolution in the church/world as a result of the increase of persecution and the glory of God at the same time. I see a lot of upheaval in the NZ church as the Lord prepares the ground for Harvest. This will feel off, but the Lord is doing it and will move some to new positions, to where they need to be, and to get us ready for the spirit of glory.

This will be a time of ploughing the ground and heart preparation, as the Lord is building an army that can heal this nation Amos 9:13, “Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that the ploughman shall overtake the reaper”(NKJV).

It’s hard work to break up the fallow ground, but it is the work of the prophets – and it is so worth it to prepare the way of the Lord. It is the supernatural work of the Spirit to restore, reconcile and repair.

The Glory

The glory will intensify for those who heed the Word of the Lord and prepare the House of Prayer for the prophets to hear, see (seer) and then deal with the exposure to the enemy in prayer!

Prophets blow the horn and sound the alarm. It is time to pray like never before. Get back on the watchtower. Return to the place the Lord has for you. Our privilege is the prayer room. When prophets pray, the earth shakes. And the fire of God will burn brightly in this hour in houses that rebuild for prayer. Gather the people. This is essential.

A governmental roar is rising as the church takes her place like never before in the nation of New Zealand.
