Hello Family in Christ. After arriving in Taupo the previous day, we are ready to go out onto the streets of Taupo, to share Jesus with anyone who has an ear to hear.
As usual we prayed and interceded over the town, binding up and pulling down all demonic strongholds. We then walked around a while, asking the Lord where the best place to outreach is.
Mathew 7:7-8 Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened.
Mathew 18:18 Truly I tell you, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.
While walking around I met Katja from Netherland and Tara from Argentina, who both accepted Jesus into their hearts.
Thank You Father God, that You made this divine appointment for my new friends in Christ. Who came from the other side of the world to find You and life in abundance through Your beautiful Son Lord Jesus Christ, our saviour, Amen.
Mathew 24:14. And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come.
I came to a location, where a walk-through passes straight through three blocks of retail shops. And who do I find there, brother Pio, bless him, already witnessing to people.
We met Maori, a local resident, who knew a little about what Jesus accomplished for us at the cross, but had not received Him into his life yet.
He was more than ready to invite Christ, the light and hope of glory, into his life, praise God, Thank You Holy Spirit.
Colossians 1:27-29. To them God willed to make known what are the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles: which is Christ in you, the hope of glory. Him we preach, warning every man and teaching every man in all wisdom, that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus.
To this end I also labor, striving according to His working which works in me mightily.
We met sister in Christ Makarita, who was thrilled to receive a calendar from Maori Postal Aotearoa. We enjoyed a lovely fellowship for a time, as we praised God our Father for all He has done in our lives, Amen.
Psalm 9:1. I will praise You, O Lord, with my whole heart;
I will tell of all Your marvelous works.
By 4.00pm we had recorded thirty three blessed names into the record. Now precious family in Christ, who have declared Jesus their Lord and Saviour.
Psalm 118:21. I will praise You,
For You have answered me,
And have become my salvation.
Every day we will continue to pray and intercede for every single precious soul wem have prayed over and accepted Jesus as their Lord and Saviour, knowing that God is the one who waters and gives the increase. But we also know that we all have the greatest intercessor of all, Lord Jesus Christ.
We pray collectively over the record, as there are too many to pray for individually, glory to Jesus.
Ephesians 6:18. praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints
Hebrews 7:25. Therefore He is also able to save to the uttermost those who come to God through Him, since He always lives to make intercession for them.
Friday 13th March we returned to the same location in the morning. Another beautiful hot day, Thank You Lord.
This time, a man sharing another doctrine, was there, giving out books. We discerned, he may be Buddhist. I went over to inquire about what he was sharing. When he saw me coming towards him, he immediately screamed at me “I’m not religious, and stay away from me or I will call the police!”
We know of course, we are always in a spiritual battle, as the evidence of this spirit manifested, in such an uncontrollable manner.
I just smiled and turned back to the other side of the road. I then started taking authority over that spirit, binding and silencing it in Jesus mighty name.
2 Corinthians 10:3-5. For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh. For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds,
casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ,
Ephesians 6:10-18. Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.
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.
Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God;
praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints
I also prayed for a divine appointment for the man, to be delivered of all deception. And to receive a revelation of truth and of God’s unconditional love for him, through His beautiful life giving Son, Jesus Christ.
Mathew 5:44-48. But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you,
that you may be sons of your Father in heaven; for He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust. For if you love those who love you, what reward have you?
Do not even the tax collectors do the same? And if you greet your brethren only, what do you do more than others? Do not even the tax collectors do so?
Therefore you shall be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect.
Brother Pio, immediately went across the other side to witness to people. The man, kept his distance and was not aggressive anymore. But he was very persistent in approaching people and stayed for a couple of hours.
As Jesus said, many will be deceived in the last days. God had positioned us here, this day to counter the enemies lies.
Mathew 24:4-5. And Jesus answered and said to them: “Take heed that no one deceives you. For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many.
Everyday we are out on the street, we see God’s hand moving. We witness His power touching people as they light up with fire from the Holy Spirit, igniting, faith and hope in Christ their Saviour.
Colossians 1:12-14. giving thanks to the Father who has qualified us to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in the light. He has delivered us from the power of darkness and conveyed us into the kingdom of the Son of His love, in whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins.
Holy Spirit drew in twenty nine precious souls out of darkness and into the glorious arms of our only Saviour. The Truth, The Way, The Life of our risen King, Lord Jesus Christ.
John 14:16. Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.
Psalm 103:1-5. Bless the Lord, O my soul;
And all that is within me, bless His holy name!
Bless the Lord, O my soul,
And forget not all His benefits:
Who forgives all your iniquities,
Who heals all your diseases,
Who redeems your life from destruction,
Who crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies,
Who satisfies your mouth with good things,
So that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.
God bless you all, We hope, this blog, lead by the Holy Spirit, has encouraged and edified you, in your walk with Jesus.
With love from your brother in Christ.

About Taupo…
Taupō, sometimes written Taupo, is a town located in the central North Island of New Zealand. It is situated on the edge of Lake Taupō, which is the largest freshwater lake in New Zealand. Taupō was constituted as a borough in 1953. It has been the seat of Taupō District Council since the council was formed in 1989.
Taupō is the largest urban area of the Taupō District, and the second-largest urban area in the Waikato region, behind Hamilton. It has a population of approximately 27,000 (June 2025). Taupō is known for its natural beauty, with the surrounding area offering a range of outdoor recreational activities such as hiking, fishing, skiing, and water sports. Visitors can also enjoy a variety of attractions, including the Wairakei Power Station, Huka Falls, and the Tongariro National Park.
Naming
The name Taupō is from the Māori language and is a shortened version of Taupō-nui-a-Tia. The longer name was first given to the cliff at Pākā Bay, on the eastern shore of the lake, and means the “great cloak of Tia”. It was named for Tia, the Māori explorer who discovered the lake. Māori later applied the name to the lake itself. In 2019 the official name of the town was changed from Taupo to Taupō.
Although the English pronunciation “tow-po” is widespread, it is often regarded as incorrect, and the Māori pronunciation, “toe-paw” is generally preferred in formal use.
