This is the Year

Len deliverd a good prophetic word to everyone at the Prayer House

We had the privilege this past weekend of hosting Len Buttner of Eagle Ascend (https://eagleascend.com/ ). He spoke both at Te Awa Hokianga Church on Sunday as well as addressing their leadership team the day before at Piringa Retreat.

As anyone who knows Len would not be surprised, he spoke fluidly in a humble, informative and gracious way. He urged us to strive for unity, for God is especially responsive to our prayers when His people are gathered in unity at specific places. "Keep pressing on until a shift happens... only then do we see spiritual revival." He reminded us that God has given his people true authority for the tearing down of strongholds in any region, and to loose and bind according to God's will.

This year, 2026, we will see big things happen. Be faithful to what God has called you to; keep your faith growing.

The gates (power) of hell cannot withstand what we carry. So let's persevere until we sense the shift we are seeking for occurs. Len also advised us to press in for specific strategy in what we are to do and pray for. "Angels will be assigned when we pray effectively... (so)

"be committed to exercise the gifts given to you."

He finished the session by giving a prophetic word to each person in the room - incredibly edifying, uplifting and comforting - as prophecies should be (Biblically.) But just before that he gave a word for all of New Zealand, which started off this way (paraphrased):

"The Lord of the long white cloud that once guided Kupe to come across to our land is returning. Not as a sign on the horizon but as the very shekinah glory of the living God. The long white cloud of my presence is settling again over Aotearoa; no longer just to reveal the land but to reveal the lamb who was slain.

The Son of God was killed, whose blood speaks a better word than what is crying out from the soil. I have not forgotten the covenants of old, I have not forgotten the prayers of your ancestors, who saw me coming in visions and dreams long before the sails appeared.  I have not forgotten the broken treaties, stolen whenua and shattered mana. I am the God who heals the broken hearted, binds up their wounds and restore what the locusts have eaten. I am coming to lift the ancient Tapu that has held back my river, and to release the Wairua of revival that has been stirring beneath the surface for generations."

Also mentioned was:

·       The indigenous sound will rise again.

·       A waiata of war and worship will be heard

·       The haka of heaven will be heard

·       Uniting the hearts of tengata whenua

·       The gifts will be returned sevenhold

·       Restoring mana but walking together with Pakeha under the cross

·       Releasing a united sound that will be heard.

·       The greatest awakening NZ has ever known.

·       The harvest is ripe; the king is coming

·       Return to me with all your heart.

·       Watch it break forth in the natural.
