FIRST OF ALL SUPPLICATIONS PRAYERS INTERCESSION GIVING OF THANKS BE MADE.… Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men, 2 for kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence. 3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour, 4 who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. 5 For there is one God and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus, 6 who gave Himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time, [1Timothy 2:1-6]

Psalm 96:9Worship the Lord in the splendour of holiness; Tremble [in submissive wonder] before Him, all the earth.

PRAY FOR ISRAEL FOR HIS GLORY TO BE REVEALED IN THE FACE OF JESUS CHRIST [Yeshua HaMaschiach Jesus the Messiah]

Isaiah 44:23Shout for joy, O heavens, for the Lord has done it! Shout in triumph, you depths of the earth; Break forth into jubilant rejoicing, you mountains, O forest, and every tree in it! For the Lord has redeemed Jacob, And He shows His glory in Israel.

PRAYING FOR OUR REGIONS AUTHORITIES The region is a top tier of local government in NEW ZEALAND. There are 16 regions of New Zealand. Eleven are governed by an elected regional council, while five are governed by territorial authorities (a second tier of local government) which also perform the functions of a regional council and thus are known as unitary authorities The Chatham Island Council is similar to a unitary authority, but is authorised under its own enabling legislation.

INTRODUCTION This year a greater emphasis is recognizing the importance God places on appointed authority; that as we pray for our leaders in our communities as well as National leaders according to scripture; we are lifting those authorities to the one of all authority and placing them at His feet as the government has been placed on His shoulder [Isaiah: 9: 6-7] We are presenting to you the LORDS direction and purposes; “A HIGHWAY OF HOLINESS” the Lord has revealed through the prophetic intercessors; God’s ways are Holy as He is a Holy God in all that He does; giving to us freely THE HOLY SPIRIT to dwell in us and teach and guide us in His way and in TRUTH. Today the nation has introduced laws of unrighteousness (unholy laws) and some churches are also compromising God’s Word that is not acceptable to Him; (marriage laws; unnatural and unholy) as God’s people and a nation we need to repent before the LORD on these unholy laws asking the LORD to cleanse us and heal us from this great deception from the spirit of Babylon a spirit of deception that influencing the nations.The LORD is so willing to bless His people in His forgiveness to those willing to humble themselves and repent but nevertheless judgement unto righteousness to those resisting and compromising His Word and denying the truth of His Word to our Nation and to the church of Jesus Christ; judgement first begins in the House of God. We need the Holy Spirit today like no other day and learn to follow the Holy Spirit and His will according to God’s Word; not secular humanism and doctrines and traditions of man. As we seek God our Father to walk in His

ways as HOLINESS UNTO THE LORD allowing the Holy Spirit to take control as we surrender firstly to Him in our own individual lives as it is by ONE SPIRIT (HOLY SPIRIT) we are baptized into one Body through Jesus Christ our LORD our Saviour and redeemer. A “HIGHWAY OF HOLINESS” reflecting through His people who our God is; a God of Nations Tribes and Tongues Who is “HOLY AND RIGHTOUS DOING WONDERS”.

WAITING ON THE LORD – PREPARATION - REPENTANCE2 Corinthians 7:1[ Paul Reveals His Heart ] Therefore, since we have these [great and wonderful] promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from everything that contaminates body and spirit, completing holiness [living a consecrated life—a life set apart for God’s purpose] in the fear of God.

Paul clearly speaks from the scripture to the Church at Corinth for a full consecration as righteousness (His right ways) is purity in holiness a consecration unto holiness in Him; holiness cannot be manufactured it comes through impartation for the Lord is our righteousness; He will teach us of His ways and discipline and correct us by His grace and love. In the natural we receive warmth from the suns rays and this is like receiving Christ righteousness the rays of Gods Glory and forgiving love in Jesus Christ permeate the spirit; soul and body as we stand covered by the blood of Christ transforming us; renewing us; sanctifying us unto holiness; with the washing of His Word; this experience brings delight and joy to the soul and spirit causing us to rejoice,

a free gift from God our Father through His Son Jesus Christ our Lord. As holiness unto the Lord; our JOY will be full as we prepare ourselves unto holiness and meditate on scripture we will find a fresh JOY in our hearts and a desire to worship the One Who is HOLY for in this call of sanctification and separation unto Holiness the LORD IS CALLING HIS PEOPLE TO WORSHIP before His Throne in exceeding JOY; in our redemption He has given by His own righteousness imparted to us through His own Son the LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS Yeshua HaMashiach [Jesus the Messiah].

Preparation to enter the highway of holiness is through RepentanceGod is Holy and the highway of holiness is the Lords call; the spirit of Babylon is introducing false doctrines in rebellion against God and the welfare of the people, we repent on behalf of the nation for grieving God and grieving the person of the Holy Spirit. Exodus 15:11“Who is like You among the gods, O Lord? Who is like You, majestic in holiness, Awesome in splendour, working wonders?Isaiah 48:18“Oh, that you had paid attention to My commandments! Then your peace and prosperity would have been like a [flowing] river, And your righteousness [the holiness and purity of the nation] like the [abundant] waves of the sea.

2 Chronicles 7:14[14] If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land.

1. Repentance begins with humility and personal confession of sin “if we confess our sins he is faithful and just to forgive us our sin and cleanse us from all unrighteousness”. Jesus reminds us to first remove the log from our own eye before attempting to remove the splinter in someone else’s eye.Romans 13: 1-2Everyone must submit himself to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God. 2] Consequently, he who rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted.Isaiah 59:20 The Redeemer will come to Zion, to those in Jacob who repent of their sins,” Jeremiah 15:19Therefore this is what the LORD says: “If you repent, I will restore you that you may serve me; if you utter worthy, not worthless, words, you will be my spokesman. Let this people turn to you, but you must not turn to them.

2. Following on from this we need to repent on behalf of our nation, our churches, our failures to submit to the majesty of Almighty God. Then with clean hands and pure hearts can we enter His courtroom, and walk on the Highway of Holiness.Ezekiel 14:6 “Therefore say to the house of Israel, ‘This is what the Sovereign LORD says: Repent! Turn from your idols and renounce all your detestable practices!Ephesians 4:2-3Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love. [3] Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace.James 4:10Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up.1 Peter 5:6Humble yourselves, therefore, under God's mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time.

During our preparation of this years NDOP the LORD has been revealing Angels descending and ascending from His throne; these angels are HOLY ANGELS of different ranks and callings; the LORD revealing that these angels carry His presence with them. When the angels present themselves in a gathering; JOY will be evident amongst those that set time aside to pray for our Nation; as these Angels have the unction of God in the HOLY SPIRIT; ministering angels to be sent to our cities; towns; nations of the Great Southlands of the Holy Spirit. The LORD wants to

pour out blessings on all His House of Prayer wherever they are gathered to seek His face; wait on Him in true humility dedicated to pray according to [1 Timothy 2: 1-6] When we mention or speak about the Great Southlands of the Holy Spirit we must see the whole region with myriads of angels covering the whole region having been sanctified in HOLINESS for His Glory.

FULLNESS OF JOY - STRENGTH IN ADVERSITYWe also read in scripture that in the presence of God there is FULLNESS OF JOY and in His RIGHT HAND pleasures ever more. [Psalm 16: 11] This will be the reward to those that diligently seek Him in prayer praying for one another and the authorities of Government and the Regions we live in and of course the greater region of the Great Southlands of the Holy Spirit. JOY is important as the JOY OF THE LORD IS OUR STRENGTH and brings God’s strength into our gatherings unto Him. So often we think of JOY as receiving just a blessing; Jesus suffered [endured] the cross for the JOY set before Him [Heb 12:2] JOY gives us strength for the journey ahead even on the road of suffering and persecution.

Acts 20:24But I do not consider my life as something of value or dear to me, so that I may [with joy] finish my course and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify faithfully of the good news of God’s [precious, undeserved] grace [which makes us free of the guilt of sin and grants us eternal life].Hebrews 12:2looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before endured the cross, despising the shame Him, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.1 Thessalonians 1:6You became imitators of us and [through us] of the Lord, after you welcomed our message in [a time of] great trouble with the joy supplied by the Holy Spirit;Acts 20:35In everything I showed you [by example] that by working hard in this way you must help the weak and remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that He Himself said, ‘It is more blessed [and brings greater joy] to give than to receive.’”Philippians 2:29 Welcome him home in the Lord with great joy, and appreciate and honor men like him; the name which is above every name,Philippians 3:8But more than that, I count everything as loss compared to the priceless privilege and supreme advantage of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord [and of growing more deeply and thoroughly acquainted with Him—a joy unequalled].

EXCEEDING JOY - JUDE ALSO BRINGS WARNING JUDE: Greeting to the Called 1 Jude, a bondservant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, To those who are called, sanctified by God the Father, and preserved in Jesus Christ: 2 Mercy, peace, and love be multiplied to you.

Contend for the Faith

3 Beloved, while I was very diligent to write to you concerning our common salvation, I found it necessary to write to you exhorting you to contend earnestly for the faith which was once for all delivered to the saints. 4 For certain men have crept in unnoticed, who long ago were marked out for this condemnation, ungodly men, who turn the grace of our God into lewdness and deny the only Lord God and our Lord Jesus Christ.

Old and New Apostates

5 But I want to remind you, though you once knew this, that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed those who did not believe. 6 And the angels who did not keep their proper domain, but left their own abode, He has reserved in everlasting chains under darkness for the judgment of the great day; 7 as Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities around them in a similar manner to these, having given themselves over to sexual immorality and gone after strange flesh, are set forth as an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.

8 Likewise also these dreamers defile the flesh, reject authority, and speak evil of dignitaries. 9 Yet Michael the archangel, in

contending with the devil, when he disputed about the body of Moses, dared not bring against him a reviling accusation, but said, “The Lord rebuke you!” 10 But these speak evil of whatever they do not know; and whatever they know naturally, like brute beasts, in these things they corrupt themselves. 11 Woe to them! For they have gone in the way of Cain, have run greedily in the error of Balaam for profit, and perished in the rebellion of Korah.

Apostates Depraved and Doomed12 These are spots in your love feasts, while they feast with you without fear, serving only themselves. They are clouds without water, carried about by the winds; late autumn trees without fruit, twice dead, pulled up by the roots; 13 raging waves of the sea, foaming up their own shame; wandering stars for whom is reserved the blackness of darkness forever. 14 Now Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied about these men also, saying, “Behold, the Lord comes with ten thousands of His saints, 15 to execute judgment on all, to convict all who are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have committed in an ungodly way, and of all the harsh things which ungodly sinners have spoken against Him.

”Apostates Predicted”

16These are grumblers, complainers, walking according to their own lusts; and they mouth great swelling words, flattering people to gain advantage. 17 But you, beloved, remember the words which were spoken before by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ: 18 how they told you that there would be mockers in the last time who would walk according to their own ungodly lusts.

natural and spiritual authorities.

In these days much confusion exists on Who is the God of Christianity; even in the church and a clarion sound must be given from the Body of Christ; the Church of the living God; for the God that we serve as revealed in scripture is the God of Abraham; Isaac and Jacob; the Holy one of Israel; in Yeshua HaMashiach [Jesus the Messiah] the LION OF THE TRIBE OF JUDAH; KING of kings and LORD of lords. SPEAK FORTH GODS KINGLY ANOINTING; HIS WORD IN JESUS NAME.

The Kingdom of God has a Governing authority as the LORD sits on a THRONE as THE KING OF RIGHTEOUSNESS and rules with HIS SCEPTER of RIGHTEOUSNESS over the Nations of the earth, He raises up kings and pulls

down kings as HE IS SEATED; HE HAS SAT DOWN at the right hand of Almighty God making intercession for us. Jesus FINISHED HIS WORK at the CROSS and declared IT IS FINISHED; the victory has been won and He now calls us up into heavenly places with Him to rule and reign with Him in His completed work of victory at the cross. We are with THE KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS a place at the right hand of Abba Father in His authority and in His name. Hallelujah!

CHRIST the KING is in each believer when we are born again and filled with His SPIRIT and the SPIRIT that now dwells in each believer is the KINGS SPIRIT living and guiding us; calling us all to SPEAK OUT IN HIS NAME; KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS. We are called to make known to the principalities and powers according to God’s Word the manifold wisdom of God being JESUS CHRIST AND HIM ONLY CRUCIFIED. Ephesians 3:10-12

10 to the intent that now the manifold wisdom of God might be made known by the church to the principalities and powers in the heavenly places, 11 according to the eternal purpose which He accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord, 12 in whom we have boldness and access with confidence through faith in Him.

For in “Knowing God” we will be strong and do exploits.[Daniel 11:32]

against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age,[c] against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. 13 Therefore take up the whole armour of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.14 Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, 15 and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16 above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. 17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God; 18 praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints— 19 and for me, that utterance may be given to me, that I may open my mouth boldly to make known the mystery of the gospel, 20 for which I am an ambassador in chains; that in it I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.

THE HUMBLE AND HONOURED CHRIST Philippians 2: 6-11 6 who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God, 7 but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men. 8 And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross. 9 Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name, 10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, 11 and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
