IN PURSUIT CONFERENCE
18-20 MARCH 2015
The following is a transcript
of a prophetic word for
Singapore released by
Shawn Bolz during the
In Pursuit conference on
20th March 2015.
Not all of this is new - some is but the Lord seems to be
providing greater detail and
clarity to what He has spoken
in the past. This word can be
viewed as a compilation of
prophetic confirmations to
encourage us as we transition
into a new season as a nation.
No prophet or prophetic word
is infallible, neither can it be
fulfilled without certain
conditions being met, so
please read it prayerfully
and seek the Lord for His
discernment.
This transcript has been
edited, and headings added
to improve readability, but the
message remains intact.
At the end is a link to a related
prophetic word released by
Bobby Conner in 2012 over
Singapore.
A GOVERNMENTAL MANTLE BEING
DISTRIBUTED TO A YOUNGER GENERATION
I believe that this, being the 50th year of
Singapore, there is a mantle to be passed
down from the governmental leaders
including the founding prime minister who
started this country. There is something
being passed right now and distributed
amongst a younger generation. Younger
doesn't mean ten [years old], doesn't mean
twenty [years old], it just means people who
are involved in this generation right now
[in] Singapore.
A PLACE FOR SACRED TREASURES /
A SAFETY ZONE DURING WORLD CONFLICT
/ A TRUSTED SPACE
I feel like the Lord is saying it's like a
Switzerland where people will hide their
sacred treasures here because it will be a
safe land. It’ll be a neutral zone from many
different issues especially in the Middle East
and Asia. It'll be a safety zone, especially
for some of the world conflict that's going to
come around. This land will be a peaceful
land - there will be war on no sides of this
land or towards this land.
A GATEWAY NATION / BANKING POWER
MOVING TO SINGAPORE
This nation has become a gateway nation
as Bobby [Conner] said. It's a gateway
nation to the Middle East and a gateway
nation to Asia. God’s going to start shifting
banking power more and more and more to
Singapore. He's going to trust Singapore to
be a host for banking industries and for some
sort of new, emerging stock market that's
going to be happening throughout Asia.
God has created a peaceful zone over
Singapore and it's going to be a trusted
space. Because it will be a trusted space,
more and more ma jor corporations and
more and more banking structures will start
to plant here.
A SEAT OF POWER / WORLD
ECONOMY ISSUES
There's going to be a seat of power here in
Singapore and it's going to bring a new
level of wealth and a new level of economy
than is even here right now.
I believe God is setting up Christians to
come here - also the ones who are
indigenous to Singapore – to succeed with
the spirit of ingenuity because if this comes
in, and, if God is going to have authority and
power in the midst of it, it's going to take
Christians who actually have creative
thinking and ingenuity to be able to bring it
to where it needs to go. Otherwise it will
only last a little bit - it will last five years, ten
years, and then the seat of power will go
somewhere else.
There is something that God is making
available to Singapore that's going to take a
spirit of "Solomon-wisdom" to bring it to its
fullness. It's about world economy issues.
Some of you understand this. Some of you
say this doesn't apply to me. It applies to
all of us but some of it is more generic in
how it applies to us.
VENTURES MULTIPLIED
BY BEING IN SINGAPORE
God's positioning people to be here in the
midst of that to succeed in ventures that will
be multiplied by being in Singapore versus
being somewhere else. They can be in
Hong Kong or they could be in Thailand or
they could be in Korea, but if these efforts
are here it will go internationally versus just
nationally. So God is sending people to
start companies or to have a base of their
company here.
A SIGN AND A WONDER ON SINGAPORE,
A PROTOTYPE IN ARCHITECTURE AND
URBAN PLANNING
I feel like it's when Dubai first started as a
nation. I remember the Lord said, "I'm
going to give them an ability to produce
land” and I couldn't understand this as I was
so young. I didn't understand what that
meant and then they created land! They
literally created land in the ocean so they
could have more land.
I feel the Lord saying that he's going to put
a sign and a wonder on Singapore because
he's going to multiply the efforts of
architecture here; how this space can fit so
many things that don't even exist yet today.
This is going to be an efficient space, it's
going to be a prototype space, for the
amount of people that will be living here - to
be able to live here successfully and not kill
each other!
PILOT SPACE FOR NEW TECHNOLOGIES /
ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY,
SPECIFICALLY FILM
I saw new technologies being piloted here. I
feel like there are several new technologies
that are going find their pilot space in
Singapore. Singapore is going to have tax
breaks and tax incentives for certain types
of companies to come here.
And for me most importantly - which is not
most importantly for you - there is an
entertainment industry that is budding here,
especially for film that's going to hit the
Asian markets in such a strong way. And we
will see signs of this. The last time I
prophesied something like this, I said God is
going to put Korea on the map for
entertainment in the Asian world and it
won't just be the [TV] dramas. [At this point
Shawn shares testimonies about the Korean
entertainment industry and an
up-and-coming starlet that he prophesied
success over that is now coming to pass.]
God is going to do something in Singapore
with the film industry specifically. Not TV as
much as film [though] I see TV also having
a broad [reach] around Asia and the Middle
East from Singapore. I should say it is TV as
well but I feel like there's something with the
film industry… there’s creativity that is going
to be inspired from here because [of] the
English-speaking melting pot of Asians that
are here.
There's going to be something that emerges
in creativity that's going to be recognised
not just in the arts world but in the
commercial film world. So those of you who
are involved in the entertainment industry
as Christians that's super exciting because
God wants to put it on the map.
A REDEMPTIVE PURPOSE ON THIS NATION /
AN ANOINTING TO BUILD
What if after 50 years of being a country,
God’s going to use you as a leading
country? What if He’s going to use
Singapore as a sign and a wonder of what
can happen even after just 50 years? What
if He brings a revival here and he starts to
harvest all the wealth, all the companies, all
the people who are here for His glory?
There is a redemptive purpose on this
nation. The fact that your first prime
minister has his fingerprints on everything is
a picture of somebody who built with an
apostolic mindset without even knowing
that he was an apostle. He didn't even know!
He's probably one of the best apostles of
our generation as far as how he built - and
that's a redemptive gift. In this land [there
is] a "building anointing” - to build all over
the nation, across multiple platforms. Many
of you have that gift to build across multiple
platforms. One of the things that God
wants to do is to export you to build
especially in places that other people who
have your mentality can't go - specifically
again I say the Middle East and all of Asia.
WHY YOU HAVE BEEN HARD-PRESSED /
A SPIRIT OF WISDOM BEING RELEASED
Some of you are wondering how come it's
been a little harder for me and my company
or in my genre? Part of it is because God
wants to do something where He
accelerates you, but He has to build your
character so that you can sustain something
that blows up - what would normally take
30 years happens in 10 years in your life!
And the Christians are being "hard-pressed
but not crushed". Not necessarily
persecuted but "hard-pressed but not
crushed" so that you can build the kind of
character it takes to speak into all of society
in Singapore, and, so you can handle not
just normal growth but exponential growth
in a number of different areas.
SEE THE BIG PICTURE
God wants to strengthen your vision and He
wants to give you a bigger mindset then you
have - you have to see a bigger picture.
You're calling is to see the big picture! If you
don't see the big picture, somebody who
doesn't deserve to will and they will occupy
that space - but it's your space to occupy!
God is making you wise councillors. He is
putting a spirit of wisdom on you. I think the
number one cry for a Singaporean would be
wisdom, eg. "I need wisdom on how to do
my life", "I need wisdom on how to make these
decisions". [You] don't need common human
wisdom, [you] need revelatory wisdom!
I think what Bobby [Conner] said this
afternoon, "that something can happen
here, a star can rise in the East that can
bring evangelism to the whole world especially the Asian world”, is a true word
from the Lord.
HARVESTING OF BRILLIANT PEOPLE
I think the next harvest that’s going to
happen over these next five years here in
Singapore is the harvesters of brilliant
people. A harvesting of brilliant people.
The harvesting of people who already have
Kingdom values, kingdom mindsets, but
they haven't had the instructions or the
wisdom or the understanding of what to do
with it.
He's going to harvest harvesters so that the
whole harvest field will be ready to be
populated by people who can see the whole
big picture.
SOCIAL MEDIA & SOCIAL TECHNOLOGIES
FOR ONLINE MISSIONS
On top of this I feel like there are
technologies that are going to be crazy
social media and social technologies that
are going to just be insane that are going to
come out of Singapore. I feel like there's a
little Silicon Valley right here in Singapore
that's going to change technology industries.
Now what’s exciting is when I went to Korea,
I knew from Loren Cunningham [of YWAM]
that Korea was a missionary sending zone.
I believe that Singapore is creating an
infrastructure in the technology world for
missions that are online missions that are
going to get people saved through media and
film, online projects, social media and things
that know one else [has thought] about.
I believe God is going to blow up some
internet technologies here. Those of you
who are involved in technology companies
should be very excited because God is
investing technology into this country. He is
investing a mindset into this country that
can change the whole world.
So He is having to build a corporate character
in this nation so He can sustain what happens
here or else it would destroy you.
WORD FOR SINGAPORE, BOBBY CONNER (2012)
Related to the word Shawn shared, you may be interested to hear what the Lord said to Bobby
Conner in 2012 about moving the world's financial centre from New York’s Wall Street to Singapore.
Visit: https://vimeo.com/45710059 and fast forward to time code 06:50
Something can happen with just the
revelation and wisdom that God's investing
into the people here. It's not because of us
[the speakers] or what we're bringing in
[through this conference], it's because
there's a revelatory spirit over Singapore
that we are saying, "Slow down and
recognise what God is doing... and listen”.
If you listen right now you might hear
instructions that change everything.
