On 14th March we arrived in Alexandra in the Central Otago area of the South Island of New Zealand. Our first meeting was with the leaders of a small Church with a big heart. Alexandra Elim Church. Wow from the first moment we arrived the Angelic activity started. There were powerful manifestations of the Spirit as we prayed for each leader. I kept finding myself saying of Alexandra that it was a city, even though the population of the place was less than 5000. When I questioned the Lord he said look at the hills and observe. The place was totally surrounded by Angelic hosts, I began to understand that the term city referred to its Spiritual population and understood the amazing purpose that Alexandra has in the release of revival in the Southlands.
In July 2006 I had seen in the Spirit a cloud of Glory rolling out of the mountains and into Christchurch the principle city of the South Island of NZ. I now realised where this cloud was coming from. Central Otago. A place of extremes, It often records the highest summer temperatures and the lowest winter temperatures in NZ. The hills and rivers are full of Gold and the mountains stand as testimony to the greatness of God. These are the mountains that inspired the Hillsong classic "Shout to the Lord"
Over the next few days we had four very powerful meetings. I spoke mostly on mindsets that hinder revival, and also about our spiritual inheritance in Christ. People began to see in the Spirit and there was an amazing release of the Angelic. There was a Blower of the Shophar in the meeting and on the Saturday night I felt to get him to blow every time it was time to move up another level. A sense of the manifest presence of God was felt in all the meetings and a new level of expectation and faith for the supernatural was released. Every night after the meetings the sky put on an amazing display with Golden and silver cloud formations that were very unusual, people who weren't in the meetings were commenting on them in the town. We were seeing signs in the sky of a fresh move of the Holy Spirit.
A personal highlight for me was the testimony of two Israeli girls who had come into contact with a woman in the meetings. Because New Zealand is geographically as far away from Jerusalem as you can get the testimony below impacted me greatly. before you read their testimony read the following link. http://www.papelim.org.nz/page11.html
The two young Israeli woman had been given a new testament on their journey around NZ and had been reading it. In an Invercargill cafe (Invercargill is the most southern city from Jerusalem) A waiter approached them and said "greetings daughters of Israel, everything you have been reading in that little book is the truth. The one you have been reading of is your messiah. He went on to share other things and again confirmed Yeshua as the truth" then he just vanished. The young woman made a decision to follow Yeshua and next evening headed for Queenstown. they drove through Alexandra and a voice spoke to them and said you must stay in Alexandra tonight, they turned back and stayed with the woman who came to the meetings and shared their new found faith in messiah.
The significance is, The Lord spoke to me in 2004 and commissioned us to proclaim revival in the ends of the earth, that this revival would in turn trigger a revival in Israel.
The Lord used this testimony to confirm his word to us. How I have been praising the Lord for this Church in Alexandra who gave us the opportunity to proclaim revival and glory in the ends of the earth. I await reports of a continuing glory in Alexandra.
We went on to Queenstown and had a meeting with a couple who Pastor a Church in that town. We were able to encourage and pray with them it was a blessing to us to be used in this way.
We travelled on to Christchurch for meetings on the Sunday at Beulah Christian fellowship. This was a real privilege for us. This Church is Pastored by Dennis & Barbara Barton who had been my mother in laws Pastor in the late 60's. I felt so at home in this Church, and I have fallen completely in love with it and wish I was part of it. I look forward to hearing much more in the near future.
When the Barton's moved to Christchurch in 1970 they saw a major move of God. Described in the book Pentecost at the ends of the Earth as follows. "Hundreds of hippies were remarkably saved and filled with the holy spirit in this church in a very short space of time. It was the most significant visitation in NZ since the WIgglesworth meetings in Wellington in 1922" .
They are hungry again for a fresh move and the Lord moved powerfully in our meetings. Pastor Dennis said he got much more than he expected. People received visitation at a very high level, some were carried into the heavenly realm. On the Sunday night I found myself speaking prophetically. The Lord had said to me when I was carried in the Spirit over Christchurch in 2006 and shown the cloud of glory rolling in from the mountains, that the Church that invited us in to the city would be the one that would see the revival begin in Christchurch. I have waited until now for an opportunity to minister in this city. The way the invitation happened was sovereign as well. A member of our e-mail list had been asking Pastor Dennis to have us in for several months, Pastor Dennis agreed it would be a good idea and when he discovered we were in the South Island he extended a very gracious invitation for us to minister.
I am confident that this Church is about to be visited again only in a much greater measure than it was in the 70's. There was more Angelic activity in this Church than I have ever experienced. I had seen and felt literally hundreds of Angels in this place and I was very excited when a 10 year old girl came up to me after the meeting to tell me that the Lord had opened her eyes and she had also seen hundreds of Angels come into the meeting as I declared an open heaven and called Angels of revival and in they came. She also saw my ministering Angel touch people on the head as I declared revival. Another woman shared with me that she had seen Jesus on the platform the whole Sunday morning meeting. It seems Christchurch is about to be visited again.
I have come back to Auckland filled with wonder and delight at the greatness of our Lord Jesus. and see with fresh eyes revival in the ends of the Earth.

Chariots, laughter and Angels
By Ian Johnson www.papelim.org.nz
While in a meeting at which Kathie Walters was ministering in Auckland New Zealand, I found myself in the Spirit, I was invited by an angel to go with him in a Chariot to see the way that the Lord uses Angels to perform his will in meetings and in the lives of people.
The Angel said "Do you understand how the power of faith and how a faith response brings blessings?’" You need to see how it works, he said! And we went in the Chariot to western Papua in Indonesia. A man of God was speaking and there was a great deal of demonic interference and blocking of the purpose of God.
The Angel motioned me to stand on a rocky outcrop overlooking the meeting. At that moment in the meeting in Auckland a lady fell off her chair and began to laugh for no particular reason. soon she was laughing uncontrollably and I was aware of it in the back ground. The very moment she began to laugh perhaps 20 or more Angels appeared in Western Papua obviously under instruction and began to remove the demonic opposition, People in the meeting began to come free and hear the word of God, it was amazing!
The Angel said to me, The living word says, God laughs at his enemies! and when his people hear this laugh and join in it releases us to bring derision in the enemies camp! (Psalm 37:12-13)
I said but the laughter is in New Zealand and we are in Indonesia. The Angel said "there is no time or space in the Spirit, you need to understand this! Then you will also understand why it is important to be free to express what the Father asks you to express, & speak what you hear the Father saying even if it doesn’t seem relevant to you! Because the Father is looking for those who will do and say what he asks, regardless of how foolish it seems, there is always a purpose!
Laughter in the Spirit is only an eco of the laughter from the father in heaven. It is a weapon against the plans of the enemy and we must not despise it. For those who think its a new thing in the earth, my 93 year old mother in law says, "Oh we had holy laughter in our tarry meetings in Wellington in the 20's & 30's, every one knew it was God because some of those old Pentecostals were very serious people you know!"
I came back to the meeting in Auckland with an excitement, knowing that obedience released in our meeting had touched a group of believers several thousand miles away. How amazing the ways of God are! We are just scratching the surface and there is so much more that we need to understand about the way God uses Angels.
There was more instruction to come, the Angel took me again in the chariot to show me more of what happens in the spirit realm because of our response.
As I entered the Chariot I instantly found myself in the Fiji Islands in a place between Nandi & Singatoka. The Angel instructed me to observe a meeting being led by a Fijian friend of mine. There were many people in attendance in an open air situation. The Angel said watch closely now, My friend spoke the word of God and there was a positive response from a couple of men in the crowd, As these men responded so did the Angels. Each response to the word, which were things like a loud hallelujah or a shout of affirmation, or a clap triggered an Angelic response, which removed demonic obstacles hindering some of the men. The Angels also took men by the shoulders and moved them forward or to one side, the aim of this was to get them lined up with an outpouring coming down from heaven, The men seemed unaware of the angelic help but knew that they had come under an outpouring from Heaven. Each time someone received a touch like this it lifted their faith level and brought more response, which brought more Angelic activity.
I began to understand the importance of a faith response to the word of God. Romans 10 "Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God" In New Zealand and to an extent Australia people are not as responsive to the word in verbal or animated fashion as other places, It is important to verbalise and to exhibit a response to the preaching of the word, because I saw that it released the Angelic. The preacher was doing his bit by speaking the word, and the people were doing their bit by releasing a faith response.
I trust that this short exhortation will inspire you to a faith response that will bring a release of the Angelic and lift your faith again and again. Until revival fills your life.
I have heard from Fiji by way of confirmation, that my friend, was as I had seen in the Spirit having a meeting as described. He said that they had an amazing move of the Spirit in that particular meeting. Many were delivered in the meeting, many were healed, and there were many salvations. My friend was very excited to hear the testimony and was aware of unusual Angelic activity in the meeting, because of the unusual miracles and events that occurred, The testimony confirmed it. Be prepared to step out of the ordinary and the formal and allow the spirit to lead you.
I now have a better understanding of what occurs when Gods people, praise, and shout and respond in faith language to the preaching of the word, or to high levels of worship, even if we are stuck in a small corner of the world, we can change it with our faith response.
As Kathie Walters says, "The realm of the Spirit, the supernatural realm, the angels and heavenly visitations are meant to be a normal part of your life - most people are robbed because of religious mindsets.
I recommend you buy her books living in the Supernatural & Angels - Watching Over You available from her website http://www.goodnews.netministries.org/store/books.html My book Glory to Glory "A journey of intimacy & worship" will also give you some insights into your actions and Gods reaction to you.

Scrolls being released NOW
In a recent heavenly encounter, I was in an auditorium and I witnessed a commissioning, a sending forth of Angelic messengers, each were given scrolls to deliver into the Earth. The scrolls contained A greater release of blessing concerning Jesus, His beauty, and His Glory. The Scrolls were different colours I got an understanding that this represented different aspects of the nature and heart of Jesus.
These are messages that will cause all who eat them to fall deeply in love with Jesus. The Angels were being released into the Earth through portals or doors the saints had created in intercession and worship.
The scrolls were for regions rather than individuals but as individuals in the regions ate the scrolls it was like they became contagious and the release of Glory & Love for Jesus spread. The pattern for end time harvest is being delivered to earth in scrolls, for those who choose to read them! These scrolls contain a release of Glory. The words are like sweet honey to the soul of hungry men. These are not new revelations; indeed, they are the truth of heaven being plainly seen in the earth!
And the truth of heaven is; Jesus the fullness of God revealed!
Get ready Get ready
Hungry souls on earth will feed on this Glory released!
A glory found in heaven and being released on EARTH in this season
The hosts of heaven are stepping up the pace. A preparation of the bride has begun, an anticipation of a coming wedding and excitement over the celebration made the atmosphere where the scrolls are to be delivered electric.
The Lord says: Its time to move under places where portals of glory have openedOr are about to open! From these pockets will come a transforming glory, like refuelling stations. Be careful not to try and own this Glory, For God will not share His Glory! But for those who seek His Glory an evening under the portal Will empower you for weeks in the harvest
Get ready Get ready!
The Giants are stirring The Glory harvesters are about to hit the fields!
Head for the refuelling stations! Cast aside religion
Enter the truth of heaven Jesus the fullness of God revealed!
Colossians 2:2-3
My goal is that they will be encouraged and knit together by strong ties of love. I want them to have full confidence because they have complete understanding of God’s secret plan, which is Christ himself. In him lie hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.
Jesus knows all things. Thus his disciples said, truly, "Now we know that You know all things, and have no need for anyone to question You; by this we believe that You came from God" (John 16:30).
What is this knowledge? it is that Jesus knows the Father perfectly. We know God partially and imperfectly. Jesus knows him like no other being knows him or could know him. He knows him the way an omniscient Person knows himself.
"All things have been handed over to Me by My Father; and no one knows the Son except the Father; nor does anyone know the Father except the Son, and anyone to whom the Son wills to reveal Him" (Matthew 11:27). No one but Jesus knows the Father completely and perfectly. Our knowledge of Jesus depends wholly on the fathers’ grace.
His Grace has been released into the Earth. (We see it in Jesus) by releasing the scrolls into the Earth he is releasing an end time grace. A grace that will bring a glory harvest. A grace that will make Jesus known in all the earth. Jesus is the Glory of Heaven, he is the exact reflection of the Father. To see Jesus is to see the Glory of heaven released into the Earth.
We see Jesus as Gentle saviour meek & mild. And yes He is our saviour, he is all of these things. But He is also the fullness of God, The seven fold Spirit of the Living God is found in Him! So when we put our faith in Him, it’s not just for a partial salvation to make us feel good. It’s a total God transformation in our lives. Its a release of the glory of heaven.
Eat the scrolls and push past the ordinary. John the disciple who leant on the breast of Jesus and was one of the three who were closest to Jesus on Earth didn't even recognise him when he was caught up into his heavenly revelation such was the glory revealed in him in heaven. The desire of the Father in this hour is for Earth to see the same overwhelming glory John saw. Such an honour and privilege to come before His throne of grace in loving acceptance! He is no longer a distant God, but a Father and the King of Glory
Romans 5:2 says“Through [Jesus Christ] we [also] have access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.”
The Hope of Glory released is the fullness of God revealed in Jesus! All wisdom & Knowledge are found in Him! This hope of Glory is an absolute certainty! It is a “definitely“! As the New Living Translation of the same verse puts it: “We confidently and joyfully look forward to sharing God’s glory”.
The measure of this grace is about to be released as the scrolls enter your cities and your nations. The call is going out as we eco the words of Psalm 24:7-10: lift up your heads, O you gates! And be lifted up, you everlasting doors! And the King of glory shall come in. Who is this King of glory? The Lord strong and mighty, The Lord mighty in battle. Lift up your heads, O you gates! Lift up, you everlasting doors! And the King of glory shall come in. Who is this King of glory? The Lord of hosts, He is the King of glory.
The Angelic is being released to assist us to shout “Prepare ye the way of the Lord” “open the gates, swing wide the doors” That the King of glory may come in. who is this King of glory? Jesus strong and mighty.
