Jill Austin: "God is Redefining Church"

Jill Austin: "God is Redefining Church"

God is Redefining Churches and Nations

The Lord is taking His finger, and He is not only redefining the borders of nations but also the church. He says, "I am going to redefine even how you see My presence. I am going to take the walls down between different denominations, and give you a hunger and fire for one another; a jealously for each of you who love the Lamb of God, and have that fire for each other."

It is as if you were up in the Heavens looking at the earth, and you see that certain nations are full of different amounts of the glory of God. There are prophetic time clocks on different nations, according to His sovereign purposes for radical revival.

The Glory of the Cross

The Lord says, "As you receive more and more, and come into the fullness of the revelation of the glory of My Cross--of Who I Am--the more My glory and the more of Heaven will kiss earth." There needs to be a cry in you that says, "Lord, I am earth. Kiss this lump of earth, Lord. Let your fire and presence consume me!"

The apostolic anointing in Acts 2, shows us that Holy Spirit came like a mighty rushing wind. At 9:00 a.m., a crowd of more than three thousand people gathered and accused the Christians of being drunk. Immediately Peter said, "We are not drunk, as you think." He spoke with an apostolic anointing, preaching the crucified Christ--the glory of the Cross, that all are sinners needing to repent, and that Jesus is the Messiah!

As Peter preached the glory of the Cross, the crucifixion and the resurrection, three thousand people were saved!

Be Radically Used in the Market Place

Our cry, is that we don't want to just say "Come Holy Spirit"; we want to say "Stay Holy Spirit!" We don't want just a visitation, we want an inhabitation! I feel like the Lord is asking, "Are you willing to be radical for Me? Are you willing to let Me use your hands, your feet, and your mouth to be radically on fire for Me? I am calling for a new militancy, a new passion, a new revelation of the Cross."

Why isn't everyone moving with an apostolic anointing where you work, go to school, or how about the gas station and grocery store, and wherever you are? There needs to be a place in you, where you say, "Jesus, give me that fiery anointing. Lord, use me to powerfully touch my world."

We, as a church, have abdicated our posts! We've said yes, to sending out missionaries, itinerants, and others, but the Lord says, "I want YOU! I want you to be My hands and My heart. I want you to be My mouth and My eyes. When you see people, I don't want you to automatically give them a tract. I want you to look at that person and ask Me what I have for that living soul."

Be Naturally Supernatural

You will start seeing people as living souls, and God will begin to give you words and other things they need. If you don't get anything, you can always ask them to get a cup of coffee with you. Be naturally supernatural. Be real.

I feel like the Lord is trying to break religious evangelism. He wants to start working with prophetic evangelism, where you are naturally supernatural--being real people, who love a real God! Then you can be one who goes through real life situations, with a God who is with you in the midst of it all, and you can share that with others!

Do you want to be a carrier of the anointing? How much fire do you want? When people reach out and touch your clothes, are you so saturated with anointing that people are instantly healed? Have you even prayed for that? "Lord, let Your anointing and Your glory seep out of me." May it be that we don't even know when it happens because it is so naturally supernatural.

Your Commissioning

Is there that cry in you that says, "Lord, I want to see people radically touched right where I live, where I walk, and where I live real life." The Lord says He wants to bend the walls of the church and take you to the world, so that you can be His hands, His heart, and His feet.

If you are waiting for someone else to do it, He says to forget it! You are it! He wants to give us fishing nets. For years, He has been healing the holes in the nets, so that we can throw out our nets into the dark sea of humanity. As we throw our nets out, the Shekinah glory will come as the nets hit the water, and the fish will see the nets and come running. Jesus says that He is going to bring in such a great harvest that many of you will have to team together to bring in His fish.

Can you say, "Here am I, send me!" That is sweet music to His ears! This is part of why He gave His life on the Cross!
