A Prophesy written by Faith-Joy Aaron (Auckland, NZ)

New Zealand Be Watchful. Be Prepared – A Year of Preparation

The Lord gave me the word “prepare.”

A spiritual storm is coming to this nation New Zealand as the Body of Christ all must prepare.

This year of 2025, is the year of preparation for the King, like Queen Esther – there is a time of preparation. This is us, the Church, the Believers. Nurture yourselves in Me. says God. Stay close to Me and commune with Me, your Heavenly Father.

I am coming for a Bride who has been refined through fire, not a worldly Bride, but pure. Not intellectual but full of Wisdom I am coming for a Bride that is not foolish, but wise and obedient. Not wicked but full of righteousness. Not dirty but repentant.

I am coming for a Bride that is Holy. True Worshippers. Not fake.  Of faith that is not head knowledge but of heart knowledge. Generous givers not takers.

A Bride with a strong steadfast, light shining brightly and light that grows stronger and brighter when things of this world start growing strangely dim.

I will be taking with Me soon a remnant from this Land. I am warning you in advance to watch out for unbelief and worldly desires. The signs of the tribulation are knocking at the door. I am coming for my Church. My Bride. Use this whole year to prepare.

The LORD showed me churches in a picture of New Zealand on uneven scales. He said, I have weighed New Zealand in the balances, and it is found wanting. The things of the world have crept into churches in New Zealand, so much so that they have watered down My Holiness.

Like the church of Laodicea, the churches of New Zealand have become lukewarm, smug and self-satisfied. Like the church of Pergamum many have rejected My wisdom and have compromised.

Social media in many ways has become the Enemy to My church. It has corrupted the hearts and minds of many Christians into worldliness. My Bride My Church, it is time to be set apart again – to lay down idolatry and materialism as it is impossible to love both the world and Me. I am calling you away from the flesh as you can be led by My Spirit again. Flesh is death. Spirit is life.

The year 2025 is a year I am calling the Church into a deeper repentance, a cleansing away, a change of focus of the things that would cause compromise. A turning away from distractions and a turning back towards a highway of holiness.

Be On Guard Against Deception

A spiritual decline is coming. and an apostasy is starting for arise. Many within the many denominations of my church will reject Me, abandon Me and fall away from the faith. Some of those within my church even now are unaware of their separation from Me. This shift has already begun.

Be sure you are not a part of the falling away. Guard your heart from growing cold. Follow My ways. Test every voice as many voices of error will come to lead you astray. Sharpen your sword of discernment. Be watchful. Be disciplined. Pray always.

The Lord reminded me of a story about a frog happily swimming around a pool of lukewarm water in a pot on the stove. The frog did not realize it is cooking and dying slowly until eventually it died. The Lord says deception is like the frog in a lukewarm pot of water. It can be a slow cooker and subtle. Deception will catch you unaware while you think you are having fun. Do not be like this frog – wake up be watchful, be alert, and be prepared Like the five virgins who missed out on entering My Kingdom at the very last minute. Their lamp and sharpness dimmed due to compromise. Be watchful, be alert and be prepared.

A Call to Purity and Authenticity

The Lord gave me a picture of church buildings and the leaders being picked up by God’s Fingers and turned upside down with money dropping out of their pockets on to the ground. The Lord said to me that in 2025 many New Zealand church leaders in a denomination will be shaken and tipped upside down. Leaders that have been fulfilling their own selfish ambitions by extorting My Sheep and thieving from My People, not paying their taxes and oppressing the poor. Many of these prideful leaders will fall and their greed and idolatry will be exposed.

There is a Call for purity – a Call for authenticity. Those who have not humbled and repented, will be brought low before My Throne. The wheat and the tares have started to be separated, and the Lord is starting the shifting from the top level down in the church and churches.

New Zealand Churches to return to their true identity as Sheep led by a Shepherd

The Lord gave me a picture of a whole lot of sheep with goat horns. The Lord says I am calling out to the Sheep of New Zealand I am calling you back to your true identity.  You are sheep led by Me your shepherd – you are not goats led by a goat herder. You are sheep.

My sheep are dependent, helpless, meek, humble, not stubborn but willing to take direction. They recognize My Voice and follow Me.

Psalm 95:7 “I am the Lord your God and you are the people of My pasture. You are My sheep in My Care. Today as My sheep if you can listen to My Voice, I will recognize you and you follow Me.” Be My Sheep Obey My Voice and you will never go astray

A Stirring to be Disciples not just Believers 

The Lord says “I am stirring up Believers to be My Disciples as obedient followers of the Way of Truth. Go feed others, then they feed Others. Receive love then give out your love to the poor, the widow, the orphan, naked, the hungry, the imprisoned, the Jew and the sick. Whatever you do one of the least of my brothers and sisters of mine you did it for me. Move into action My Church reach out and do not tarry faith without works is dead.”

Activate The Five-Fold Ministry Gifts

The Lord showed me a picture of many little plants in pots multiplying. Each pot had five plants growing inside them. The Lord says this is my five-fold ministry. Everyone has one of these five-fold ministry gifts growing inside them.

Raise up Apostles to plant new churches. Raise up Prophets to go with the Apostles. Raise up Pastors to go with apostles. Raise up Evangelists to preach the gospel. Raise up the Teachers to go with the Apostles. Plant increase and multiply. Find your gift use it. Plant increase and multiply. Healthy active body. Healthy active church.

“My Beloved Bride in New Zealand the Kingdom of Heaven is near very near. The Bride-groom is coming. Be watchful and prepare.”

1 Thessalonians 4: 15-18. Listen, look up, watch, believe. be prepared, be ready.
