2026 AGM
Word from the Nations
The spiritual temperature across the Northern Rivers has unmistakably risen since our July AGM. Something settled, something aligned, and something ignited. You can feel it in the way people pray, the way worship lifts, the way conversations carry a new seriousness about the season we’re stepping into.
Live Northern Rivers has continued to gather believers in an atmosphere thick with expectation — the kind of meetings where hearts burn, clarity comes, and the region feels like it’s being drawn into a deeper assignment. These gatherings aren’t just events; they’re becoming a furnace where God is shaping intercessors, worshippers, and leaders for what’s ahead.
At the same time, our connection with International Prayer Connect keeps us tethered to the global fire of intercession. It’s a reminder that the flame burning here is part of a much larger blaze — nations stirring, prayer networks rising, and a worldwide cry for God’s purposes to be revealed. Our local story is woven into a global one, and the alignment is becoming clearer by the month.
Into this moment, we’re honoured to carry a significant word from Aaron Lagani — a word that doesn’t just encourage but clarifies. It builds directly on what God established during the AGM, adding fresh direction, fresh urgency, and fresh fire. It’s the kind of word that confirms what many have been sensing privately and brings it into the open with boldness.
This update gathers the threads of what God has been igniting — locally, nationally, and globally — and sets the stage for the months ahead. The fire is rising, and the Northern Rivers is right in the middle of it.T

A WORD FROM THE NATIONS
When God Raises a Banner: The Mandate for a Willing Generation
Something profound happened in Perth during the World Prayer Assembly. As nations gathered under the banner of Glory, I sensed the Lord speak a strategic mandate — one that concerns Generation Fire and the role we must take in this hour of shaking and awakening.
It was not a vague impression. It was a commissioning.
And the timing of global events only intensified the clarity.
A Banner Raised — and a Battle Unfolding
On the very day the WPA declared the Wave of Glory over the nations, a barbaric attack was unleashed against the Jewish people. Hamas struck Israel with violence and terror — a tragic, heartbreaking event that shook the world.
Let me be clear:
God does not author violence.
But Scripture shows us that when God moves, the enemy reacts.
The clash between glory and darkness is not new. It is ancient.
And in that moment, Psalm 110 came alive.
“Your people will be willing in the day of Your power, arrayed in holy majesty.”
The Lord was highlighting a generation — a troop — who must rise willingly, clothed not in earthly armour but in holy majesty.
Generation Fire: A Troop Made Willing
This is the identity God is forming:
• Willing hearts
• Consecrated lives
• Unified movement
• Carriers of His glory
Not earthly warriors — but priestly ones.
Not fighters of flesh — but intercessors, worshippers, and glory‑bearers.
Psalm 110 is not about swords.
It is about surrender.
It is about a generation who says:
“Here we are, Lord. Send us.”
From the Ends of the Earth to Jerusalem
The Pacific region — our region — has long carried prophetic significance. Scripture speaks of praise rising from the coastlands, from the islands, from the ends of the earth.
And during the WPA, the Lord made it clear:
The wave of glory that begins in the Pacific must move toward Jerusalem.
This is not political.
This is biblical.
It is about honouring God’s storyline, His covenant, His redemptive arc through the nations.
Generation Fire is part of that storyline.
Isaiah 5:26–30 — A Mobilised People
Isaiah gives us a vivid description of a people God whistles for — calling them from distant lands:
• Swift to respond
• Not distracted
• Not weary
• Unified in movement
• Focused on the assignment
This is a prophetic picture of spiritual mobilisation.
It is who we must become.
Not passive.
Not divided.
Not slumbering.
But ready, alert, and arrayed in holy majesty.
The Uniform of This Generation
When the Lord said we must gather “in one uniform,” He wasn’t speaking of fabric.
He was speaking of holiness.
Our uniform is:
• Purity
• Humility
• Unity
• Worship
• Intercession
• Consecration
• Glory-bearing identity
This is what sets us apart.
This is what makes us effective.
This is what makes us willing in the day of His power.
The Mandate
Generation Fire is called to rise as a willing troop:
• Clothed in holy majesty
• Unified in purpose
• Consecrated in lifestyle
• Ready to carry His glory
• Positioned for His purposes in this hour
The banner has been raised.
The wave of glory has begun.
And the troop must now assemble.
Amen.
Aaron Lagani - Solomon Islands.
The spiritual temperature across the Northern Rivers has risen sharply since our July AGM. What was established in that gathering hasn’t faded — it’s intensified. There’s a renewed clarity, a stronger sense of assignment, and a fire that’s beginning to shape the months ahead.
Live Northern Rivers — A Furnace of Prayer
Our recent Live Northern Rivers gatherings have carried a tangible burn. Worship has been bold, prayer has been weighty, and unity has been unmistakable. These aren’t just meetings; they’re becoming a furnace where God is refining voices, strengthening intercessors, and calling the region deeper into its purpose.
International Prayer Connect — Global Alignment
Through International Prayer Connect, we remain connected to the global blaze of intercession. Nations are stirring, networks are rising, and the worldwide prayer movement is accelerating. What’s happening here is part of something far larger — a global fire that’s spreading with urgency and purpose.
A Word from Aaron Lagani — Fuel for the Season
We’re honoured to carry a significant word from Aaron Lagani this month. His message brings clarity, urgency, and confirmation — building directly on what God established during the AGM. It’s a word that doesn’t just encourage; it aligns. It strengthens the direction we’re already moving in and adds fresh fuel for the journey ahead.
What’s Ahead
The fire is rising. The region is responding. And the months ahead carry a sense of divine momentum. This newsletter gathers the threads of what God is igniting — locally, nationally, and globally — and sets the stage for what’s next.
