ST PAULS CATHEDRAL, WELLINGTON
Join us for three days of worship, hearing from national and international prayer leaders as we partner togehter and contend for a shift in Aotearoa, New Zealand.
Why are we gathering people together from throughout the nation?
The Lord is gathering His people, who are called by His name, together and we believe that He is planning a significant shift geo-spiritually, politically, morally, and physically. We are calling on intercessors, worshippers, believers, and Christian leaders who are called to the Mountain of Government and willing to contend for a shift in our nation.
‘If I shut up heaven so no rain falls, or if I command locusts to devour the land, or if I send pestilence among My people, If My people, who are called by My name, shall humble themselves, pray, seek, crave, and require of necessity My face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven, forgive their sin, and heal their land.’
— 2 Chronicles 7:13-14 AMP
Intercessors Aotearoa have regularly gathered to pray every Wednesday night for nearly four years now. During this time, the Lord spoke clearly to us to conduct 72 hours of prayer for all 72 electorates, which was three days of consecutive 24-hour prayer.
As the Holy Spirit has been leading our prayers, we have seen some significant shifts in the governance of our nation. We are careful not to allow any unconscious bias to drive our views and even our prayers, and we are aware that we are praying not against flesh and blood, but principalities and powers as in Ephesians 6:12 NIV ‘For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and the spiritual forces of evil in
the heavenly realms.’
REGISTRATIONS ARE NOW OPEN!
