An Expansion of the Prophetic Realm: A Fresh Revelation
by Jill Austin
I recently attended a meeting and the speaker was teaching from Zechariah 4. I saw myself standing before the throne. It was etched in my spirit and felt it was not only for me, but a new place God wants to bring the end-time church.
I realized that the prophetic is so much more than words of knowledge, dreams and visions but there is a place of standing in the counsel of God in the heavenlies. Not just a realm of visitation but an experiential reality of our eternal habitation.
I felt I was going to have a heart-attack in the Spirit. I felt an eternal destiny and awakening in my being … an internal explosion and implosion at the same time. It was like a shift change in the realm of visitation and glory. I believe it was an eternal stamping of God’s purposes on my life.
I was shocked by the experience but was unable to share most of it at the time. I felt trapped and wanted to run out of the room and get with God and go into what I perceived was the beginning of a visitation.
Standing Before the Throne
A few days later, at another meeting, the vision really came alive to me. I saw myself once again standing before the Lord in the throne room. It was a compelling glimpse of the coming days and the place He will bring us to. This is something I have waited for all my life but have only dreamed of the fulfillment actually taking place this side of heaven.
It was a place of beholding Him in raging beauty and terrible holiness and yet deep friendship and intimate knowledge… standing before Him face-to-face, with such indescribable aching and longing in our hearts. I saw myself covered in a realm of smoky glory and light and understood that it was not only for me, but it represented the prophetic/apostolic end-times leadership.
There was a living staircase – where heaven and earth connect – angels ascending and descending with fresh mandates from the throne for us to deliver to cities and nations. As a prophetic people, we would be consumed and focused on Him that titles, money, or position did not have any power to temp us.
I kept hearing the words, “As I stand before the Lord whom I serve.” I saw a company of people who will love not their own lives even unto death, but happily and gladly give them for His testimony and glory in the earth and the heavens. Nothing mattered but the awesome beauty and majesty of His presence in transcendent fiery union with our weak, dull hearts.
A Prophetic Challenge
The experience that I have shared with you has left me with a new sense of purpose and mission to know him more intimately. My heart cries out for ever-deepening encounters with Him in the secret place.
In these times of crisis, each of us in the body of Christ need to take the first commandment to heart and “love the Lord, your God, with all your heart.” In that place of pressing in and seeking His face, He will give us fresh revelation and strategies for the end times that are coming upon us.
The Secret Place
The Lord’s desire is to see the prophetic operate from within the throne room. He wants each of us to seek Him out and stand before Him. In that intimate place, He will give us radical words that will rock the world with signs wonders and miracles following.
During this vision, the Lord also impressed on my heart the scriptures of Daniel 9. I encourage you to read Zechariah 4 and Daniel 9, as I feel that the Lord may have some further revelation for you to discover in your own time with Him.
New Vision for Master Potter – Your Support is Needed
Master Potter Ministries is experiencing more changes because the Lord has called us to have a larger vision for what He has set before us to do. With this new mandate, we are in a place of growing and working toward expanding the scope of our ministry. Our goal is to touch the nations of the world and impact the lives of the people we reach.
We are preparing to purchase a high-quality color printer in order to reduce the expense of having printing done by outside sources. While the overall savings will be great, the investment in the purchase of the equipment is somewhat costly.
We are asking our supporters to pray about helping us to obtain this printer. The cost of the printer will be $2465. With the printer, we will be able to produce our own stationary, teaching tape covers, as well as informational packets needed in organizing speaking engagements.
We are also looking to purchase a digital video camera. The cost of the digital video camera will be approximately $1500 and will make it possible for us to record Jill’s meetings as well as the classes that she is teaching at the Forerunner School of Prayer.
If the Lord is leading you to donate funds for either of these items, there are several ways for you to contribute. Donations may be made through our website, by phone, or by mailing a check to Master Potter Ministries. Your contributions are tax-deductible as allowed by law and greatly appreciated by the ministry.
