About Australia

Strategic Prophetic Word for Australia by Rick Joyner

Australia will emerge as one of the most strategically important nations in the world over the next two decades. It will be one of the leading nations in the newer world that is about to emerge.  Australia will begin to fulfil its original name, "the great South Land of the Holy Spirit". The people of Australia will have a special love for the Holy Spirit and they will know Him and His works.  As they do this, the Holy Spirit will move upon the desert interior of the nation, beginning to make it fertile and fruitful. This will be a sign that the heart of Australia is being changed.

Australia has been given the opportunity to become one of the great 'new' nations in the world.  It will be different from the European model, the American model, or the Asian model. Australian independence is a gift from God.  This has and will be abused by some, but it must be maintained.  Australia must be willing to set its own course in politics, economics and faith.

There is a revolution coming to the whole church and much of this will be driven by Christian education. Australia is called to be a leader in this. There are great churches in Australia, but even so, Christian schools in Australia are accomplishing more for the coming purposes of the Lord than the churches are at this time. However, neither the schools or the churches have yet perceived the spiritual revolution that they are called to lead, and both are still far from their full purpose.  There will be a revolution without rebellion, but a revolution with a purpose.

Just as it took Australia a long time to realise its own calling to be a separate nation, it is taking the church in Australia a long time to understand its own unique calling in the Lord. However, the coming spiritual revolution in Australia will come and it will begin to radically transform not only the church life of the Christians in Australia, but transform the nation into a fresh breeze for the nations.

The Lord has put the adventure spirit in the heart of Australia. Australians will mobilise for a noble cause like few other people on earth. Much of this devotion is the Australian attraction to adventure. The Lord put this in the Australian heart for the purpose of mobilising one of the greatest missionary forces in history. In the coming years, Australian missionaries will be found close to the great spiritual advances in almost every country.

This attraction to adventure, which is in the heart of Australians, will be the key factor to mobilising and motivating the youth of Australia.  As the youth in many nations will be drawn to the increasing anointing coming on worship, the arts, and the power gifts of the Spirit, Australian youth will be drawn far more to the adventure of foreign mission. Australia will not lose its youth to missions - it will lose its youth if they are not given to missions. The churches and ministries that have the strongest missions will begin to draw the next generation and arise as the great lights in the nation. However, the youth must be trained, equipped and engaged in the good fight. They will not settle for just being spiritual tourists. They are warriors and the ones who will take new territory for the kingdom.

For all the great cities of Australia and the nation as a whole, missions will be the key to the future. All that are given to missions will return abundantly multiplied because a generation will arise that will use the blessings for the right reasons. Seek the 'great grace of God', that which is by and through His Holy Spirit. Then seek to carry the grace of God to those in need. You will then have all of your needs met and will not be in danger.
