From the desk of Steve Shultz:
God is moving across the nations of the earth! Here is an exciting and fresh word from Nathan Shaw of New Zealand. In this, Nathan shares some great history, perspective and heavenly revelation he received over the land.
Nathan opens with:
God's heart is for people and for nations. In the same way that He has prophetic destinies for individuals, He also has prophetic destinies for nations. God is always working to shape and mold nations according to their prophetic destinies. In discerning the destiny and direction of a nation, it is important to understand the things that God has spoken to previous generations.
Yes, God has a plan for each nation! As you read through this, be encouraged as you get to partner with God to bring His prophetic destiny over your nation too! (To Subscribe to the Elijah List subscribe here.)

"New Zealand's Prophetic Foundations: Five Important Voices"
Nathan Shaw, Dunedin, New Zealand
God's heart is for people and for nations. In the same way that He has prophetic destinies for individuals, He also has prophetic destinies for nations. God is always working to shape and mold nations according to their prophetic destinies. In discerning the destiny and direction of a nation, it is important to understand the things that God has spoken to previous generations.
New Zealand has a powerful prophetic destiny as a spiritual barometer and prophetic model for other nations. It's time for New Zealand to reconnect with her prophetic foundations and step into her ultimate destiny. Over the last year my heart has been stirred to seek God about these foundations. During this time He highlighted five important voices.
1. Toiroa: A Māori Prophet
| "New Zealand is unique in so many ways. So is her destiny. The profound authority that will come from New Zealand will be far greater than her size." |
Māori are the first nation people of New Zealand. Māori have always had prophets and seers. Prophets and seers help to prepare people for things that are yet to come. The Māori prophet, Toiroa, foresaw the arrival of Europeans. In fact, he saw many detailed things about these unknown people, including the way they dressed and the way they traveled. In 1776 he prophesied about them, "Ti ingoa o to ratou Atua, ko Tama-i-rorokutia, he Atua pai, otira, ka ngaro ano te tangata," which translated into English means, "The name of their God will be Tama-i-rorokutia (Son-who-was-killed), a good God, however the people will still be oppressed."
Three years after this prophecy, the English explorer, Captain James Cook, arrived in New Zealand on his ship HMS Endeavor. I believe Toiroa's prophecy anticipated two important moves of the Spirit. The first was a profound move of the Spirit in which the vast majority of Māori embraced Tama-i-rorokutia—the Son who was killed. The second move of the Spirit is still to happen. It will lift the oppression that Toiroa mentioned.
