Design in Motion
The Lord was asking me to move from Nelson to Christchurch and a few weeks before I left, Tony had a word for me; “I feel the Lord is saying to do the training. There is something you have been thinking about doing, I see you looking at applications saying, you’ve even looked at other peoples applications and thought, I could do that. You feel that it’s not God telling you to do this, you keep saying, oh it’s just me, not God. The Lord is telling you to do the training. It’s something to do with your career, God is going to use you to shine through this career.”

I had been following Pixar animators (movies like Finding Nemo, Toy Story) and longing in my heart to follow in their footsteps. I have always had a passion for making films, and would watch animated films with such a yearning to be involved. Since the age of eight, I have been making movies, sketching cartoon characters, and writing stories. In the past few months I had actually been looking at how to study film. I had looked at moving to Wellington, and even called several film companies. I had looked at applications online, and even investigated Pixar to see how to become an animator. I had been watching other peoples’ journeys on YouTube and saying, “I could do that!”

Doors kept closing. I thought this can’t be what God is wanting, it’s probably just a hobby idea – I need to put it aside. I thought God would want me to do something more “godly” such as training to be a nurse. For this to be something God had planned in my life would be greater than anything I could imagine! So surely He isn’t behind this.

Tony suggested that perhaps God was talking to me about other options, such as pursuing a career in real estate. Tony was fantastic and prayed with me that God would reveal His truth to me.

I moved to Christchurch, worked in real estate for my parents as a PA, and to be honest, I was a bit devastated. I didn’t want to be in real estate, but I persevered and pursued the option of sitting my license. However, that door closed firmly shut. I kept the film desire tucked away in a closed box that I thought was hidden from Jesus. Determined to do whatever He asked of me, I swallowed the desire to work in film, and carried on.

After a few months in Christchurch I found myself watching a documentary on my laptop about Pixar animators. I had other browser tabs open, each with a different school in Christchurch that offered film studies. While watching I received via email an audio copy of what I was expecting to be a copy of a testimony I had given at church. However, I had been sent the wrong audio, and it instead turned out to be a copy of Tony’s word for me. “I see you looking at applications. You keep saying this isn’t God, it must just be me. God is saying do the training” were the words I heard again, much to my surprise.

I took that as a pretty clear sign from the Lord and I have now embarked on a Bachelor of Design, specialising in Motion Design (film and animation). I can’t believe it. The overwhelming joy that my Father placed that desire in my heart, and is bringing it to fruition. He is so good, and able to do abundantly more than we could ever imagine for ourselves. I feel like I have been given the best present I could ever wish for.

At my new church in Christchurch I found myself chatting to a young lady who turned out to run a film and animation company. I seemed like God was securing the truth, ‘this is what I have called you to’. I have worked with them on the 48 Hour Film Festival project and revelled being on set, with a fire in my heart, and a new confidence that this is what I am called to do as a career.

Had Tony not been faithful in sharing that crystal clear, accurate word from the Lord, I would still be in doubt, and would have never stepped out to pursue it. I can’t wait to share what happens next.

Stepping Out
In June 2014 you gave me a prophetic word:
• This year has/will be like graduation year. Next year you will step out “on your own”.
• You will have a significant impact on community well-being and community health.
• You will have a hand in shaping change in NZ and overseas.
• God will increase and use your gift for diplomacy and governance.
• You will sit on governing boards of organisations despite your age.

I’m the CEO of New Zealand Parkour and regularly coach or oversee coaches delivering parkour in schools and other settings. Around the time you gave me the word, my wife was pregnant with our first baby and we were wrestling with whether I should continue to pursue my parkour activities or “get a real job” in order to better support the family. It was a big challenge, but this word was very encouraging. We felt I should continue despite the inevitable hardships. We entered into a time in 2015 of stepping out in faith and resulting in my being paid (part-time for full-time work) for the first time for my efforts. It also coincided with an opportunity to begin my PhD investigating the development of parkour in New Zealand. I’m halfway through my PhD, having been awarded a University of Waikato Doctoral Scholarship for the start of 2016.

On Saturday, Parkour Earth (the international body for parkour) was publicly launched. I had forgotten about the word in 2014 during the process of New Zealand Parkour and myself working closely with the other national parkour organisations that formed this new body. It wasn’t until after I had been elected to the board and the organisation was established that my wife reminded me of the words above.

Wow. It’s emotional to write this and think about God’s grace to fulfil his promises and to continue to complete his good work in someone so undeserving.

Business Breakfast
City Church had a great Business and Professional breakfast which included an address by Tony relating to prophecy in business. Attendees were very impressed with the event, one stating ‘the business morning was phenomenal’. Others were blown away by the accuracy of the words of knowledge.

This Time Next Year
In November 2016 you said that we would have a child this time next year. In February 2017 we had our second fertility appointment to plan for our next step. The Gynecologist suspected my wife had endometriosis and the plan for treatment was laparoscopic surgery. By this stage we had been trying for nearly two years.

I spent time in prayer a few weeks before the operation explaining to the Lord the expenses of the operations, IVF treatment etc, and how much stress and a waste of time it would  be. We had spent a heap of time praying in the past, but this time I really reasoned with Him why I thought it would be better naturally. A month before the operation was scheduled my wife fell pregnant naturally; it was our last possible month to give it a nudge naturally before medical assistance. My wife is now 14 weeks pregnant and baby is healthy, kicking and moving lots.

Permanent Settlement
I went to the men’s camp at Riversdale where you prophesied over me. You had a word about how God had a dream job for me and this was the place God wanted me to unpack our boxes in our garage and consider this the place we are to settle permanently. I landed a good job as a groundsman/caretaker a few weeks ago. I am very encouraged by your word and I wanted to take time and thank you for your ministry.

Breaking Ceilings
Tony prophesied over me three things that have come to pass or are noticeably blossoming:

1. I will be a part of the reinventing of other people. I will find that people who have lost their way, or who are depressed, will be drawn to me. Not only will I show them compassion and mercy but I will have a role in inspiring women to be who they are called to be, who they are in God and giving them a sense of identity and purpose.

In recent months, many people, especially women, have been coming to me for guidance or encouragement. God is giving me words to pull people out of depressed states and return hope into their lives.

2. Tony said later in the year I will be seeing new horizons and a different side of the world. I am being expanded. This is the time for me to go. The ceiling is lifting above me. God will be doing something significant in June July August. Get ready for some expansive moments.

Later in 2016 I was invited to America. I remember the moment I was on Hollywood Beach in Florida looking out over the Atlantic Ocean thinking, wow this is the new horizon on the other side of the world which I was not expecting to see at the time of the prophecy. This American adventure also inspired me to make some big changes in my life.

August 2016 was the month when events happened which in turn lifted the ceiling for me. The events prompted me to resign from my job and go back to university, opening exciting new doors of opportunity – one being a new radio station!

3. Tony saw me doing makeovers, not beauty makeovers, rather arranging people’s presentation. He said the way I analyse, rearrange and give feedback is a remarkable gift. Some of the feedback I give will help people change. Some people I work with have reached their ceiling and I will break the ceiling.

This is something I find myself doing at university. One of my courses entails analysing, rearranging and giving feedback for a business which has reached its ceiling. I had no idea this was what the course entailed when I enrolled. I will also be part of the team building, developing and presenting the new radio station.

Motivation
I was very blessed to get a chance to meet you. I am beyond thankful for your time, heart, and all that you do – blows my mind the constant encounters you are experiencing and how many lives are impacted. Honestly, I was so incredibly stunned and encouraged. New pathways, windows and doors have been opened in my mind. Grateful for the clarity and direction, as well as the inspiration and motivation.

You prophesied over me regarding photography and my future with photographic art, declaring that a significant amount of my time will be spent in third world countries – mentioned award winning photographs which bring awareness to different issues.

So amazing. I have just come back to faith within this year – a Christian upbringing but ventured far off course. I am really trying to slow down and take care of what is in front of me. After years of confusion, a new purpose and desires slowly joining to make sense.

It Matters So Much
Thank you for coming and sharing your gift with us at Soul. Thank you for the significant sacrifice you make to say yes to all God’s calling you to. It matters so much.
Dion and Stace, April 2017

Warmth and Safety
Only God knows how your accurate words over my life have utterly secured me in knowing that I am in his will in the past few years. I have known the warmth and safety of His love, His knowing, His amazing plans, His intimate knowledge of me, through your words that can only be released through a supernatural gift.

Your obedience, your risk taking, the vast number of souls you engage with – for sure there is a mighty personal cost and I just want to thank you with all my heart for your ministry.

Double Blessing
I wanted to thank you for meeting with my husband Hugh and I last year at Mount Mosaic. You prophesied over us that we would have a child on the way. Well guess what?! God made us wait so long as he was spending all his time working on a very special surprise for us… we’re pregnant… with twins! He blessed us twice and we couldn’t be happier. I can’t thank you enough for your kind words and the hope you gave us at a time when we needed it most. Good things DO take time!

Youngest in the Room
I met Tony at a youth leadership day when I was 17 years old. He gave me a word about staying in Waikato for the next few years, because I was going to meet someone who was significant for my future and I would be involved in initiatives that would require significant approval at a government level; providing advice and submissions that they would sign off on, because of my advice and planning. Tony said I would be shaping new ventures which would change the landscape.

The word about staying in Hamilton was when I was deciding where to go to university. I had already made my mind up to go to Lincoln University, which is an agriculture university and seemed like the most logical option. At that point Waikato University didn’t have an agricultural degree course , so I would have had to change to a business degree to stay locally, or continue with the agricultural business degree but leave the area. I felt that leaving to go to Lincoln University is what I should do.

However the Lord’s word through Tony had mentioned a significant reason to stay in the Waikato, so I weighed that up and at the time few other situations fell into place like; I received a scholarship to study at Waikato University for the first year, and then just as I was about to start, the management faculty began an agricultural business degree course.  During my next year at university my family encountered a significant medical challenge which allowed me to be at home and near family whilst we journeyed through this.

Three years later I met my future wife, and there is no doubt I would not have met her if I hadn’t stayed in Hamilton. The Waikato University degree was far greater than anything else I could have achieved at the time due to its pioneering nature and industry based contacts. In essence it got me in with the right employer.

At 20, I was fortunate enough to land my dream role in a large agricultural company. The role managed farming operations larger than anything I had previously been exposed to. This role was a brilliant stepping stone to my current role in which we are seeking to pioneer a new industry for New Zealand agriculture working leaders and regulators to change the physical and regulatory landscape.

One of the biggest take home lines that Tony said back when I was 17 years old, was “you will be sitting in the room where you will be speaking as the youngest person in the room, to people that are in far bigger roles than you are; it will not be your words but His words and you never have to fear being the youngest or most inexperienced in the room”. This now is a monthly occurrence for me and I am often finding myself praying “not my words but Yours”.

Miracle Baby
We tried for almost eight years to have a child; during those years I lost a lot of weight to get on a public waiting list for IVF. We did all our IVF cycles and all of them failed. We were really disheartened. By the last IVF try we just didn’t believe that it was even possible; didn’t believe that God could do it or that he wanted to.

After our last lot, we had a year and a half of not even believing that God would do it. We had others saying they would have the faith for us, but we were so broken. I remember Tony coming into our church and saying he would pray for people who wanted to get pregnant. I didn’t even want to go forward.

Our friends persuaded us to go and receive prayer from Tony and when he prayed for us, there was just such a change, we started to believe again that this was a possibility. We had peace and an ability to trust the Lord again on this issue and in that moment the wall of disappointment came down. Six months later we decided to give it one last go at getting pregnant on a fertility drug and we got pregnant with Eliana, our miracle baby.

Eliana has such a gift on her life, from the moment she was born she is the happiest kid you will ever meet. She is 16 months old and full of smiles and joy and you can really see the gift of God on her life, even from the start.

The Lord answered not only our prayer but those of the people that stood with us through this, we could not have done it without them. Eliana literally means “the Lord has answered our prayer” and she is such a miracle.

Macedonia
I want to thank you very much that you came to Macedonia to visit and serve us for two days. We had wonderful time with you. The churches in Kumanovo and in Shtip are very thankful for your words of prophecy and encouragement for many people from the churches. Many of them witnessed that the prophecies were very accurate and direct and helped them to discover their gifts and develop them for the benefit of the church and the society in which they like to serve. It is great help for us to continue to build our faith and even more to open our hearts, so God can also use us more with the gift of the prophesy and other spiritual gifts.

I would like to continue cooperating with you and you are always welcomed in Macedonia to come and help us with your ministry. May the Lord open doors for you to come again in the future. God bless you.
Pastor Sasho Georgievski, Evangelical Church in Kumanovo, Macedonia, May 2016

Breaking the Tape
In February 2015 my daughter Millie who was 11years at the time went to our church youth group. Tony was speaking and said the Lord showed him a picture she was a good runner and in particular middle distance and she could one day represent NZ.

Up until then Millie enjoyed running and had done pretty well locally but certainly not at any higher level. She was blown away by the words Tony was saying as middle distance was definitely her preferred distance.

The words Tony gave stayed with us and we thought we should take them more seriously if Millie was going to improve. On this basis, we pursued coaching for Millie which began later 2015 before we went to the South Island Colgate Games in Nelson January 2016. The competition was very tough and we mainly went with the aim of Millie getting some personal best times.

Millie’s first race was 12yrs girls 400m; out of 5 heats she had the fastest time – 1:03mins which was her PB. Then we couldn’t believe it when she won a gold medal in the final in a time of 1:02mins, another PB! It was so very exciting. Her other race was the 800m which was a straight final. She won a silver medal in a time of 2:31mins. Both of these times would have placed her 2nd in the North Island Colgate Games. She was so excited and proud of herself.

Thank you Tony for the Word, without it, we would never of invested in training and none of this may never of happened.

Christmas Miracle
The Lord’s word for me through Tony was ‘I feel like you have a compassionate heart for children and families… I see there will be a diagnosis that doesn’t seem right to you, and you will pray and see healing’. It was encouraging because I am a Paediatric Intensive Care Unit Registered Nurse in California. 11 months later I cared for a teenager with necrotising pancreatitis, with devoted parents who thought he was going to die. I was in the room one day and felt the nudging of the Holy Spirit to pray over them. I placed my hands on his abdomen and asked God for healing that night. What was supposed to be a long stay in hospital and surgery turned out to be a Christmas miracle, as the teen walked out of the hospital 3 weeks later completely healed without surgery!

Preaching from the Backflip
Tony shared a vision of me: ‘I see you doing a backflip in front of a crowd and then afterwards you started preaching God’s Word’. I was in awe, as I did exactly that during an outreach ministry in a local park in Vanuatu just a few weeks prior. Many people crowded around to see my backflip, and then I shared a testimony straight afterwards.

Slovenia
Thank you for your willingness to serve on the Coast and Macedonia and other churches in Slovenia. Your “Words” were very accurate and encouraging as much as I know the people involved. Although changes are slow, I believe that together we are making a positive difference and an encouragement to workers here in Slovenia. We so much appreciate your ministry over the conference, which was very well received. Without people such as yourselves helping it would have been very difficult, perhaps impossible, so thank you very much for your work and support of the church here in Slovenia. You not only gave some remarkable words regarding the water of Slovenia, which have since come to pass, but also made a significant contribution to presenting the prophetic gift across denominations in a humble, gentle, and spiritually wise way. This has allowed a number of leaders to be encouraged and also to consider how to foster spiritual gifts within their local churches. Thank you so much for your work here and your commitment to the Lord.

Cambridge
Tony has a unique gift of insightfulness and perceptiveness and he carries a prophetic edge which has been a blessing and encouragement to our church body corporately as well as to people in family groups, as wells as couples and individuals. There have been times when we have seen how the accuracy of words given, have created breathtaking moments that bring great comfort and assurance to people’s lives that God really is involved with their lives and revealed how much He cares about their circumstances. We commend Tony as a uniquely gifted man. Any group fortunate enough to book him will be thoroughly blessed.

Deer Hunting
Thank you for the amazing experience you arranged for me last week. As you know I have had the wish to go deer hunting on my “Bucket List ” for over 30 years. I never had a father to take me and always wished I could do it. I can honestly say that the 5 days we spent in the bush hunting has given me a new energy and freshness and I feel a different person now I am back at work. My wife commented when I got home that she thought I was the happiest she has ever seen me! You were extremely patient, teaching me many skills you have learned over the years. I feel I learned so many new things that are truly life changing. You also have great insight into peoples lives and I feel blessed to have had your time and input this week.
Robert, Nelson, December 2015
