"BEHIND THE VEIL: HEAVEN TOUCHING EARTH IN WORSHIP"


by Jill Austin
Jan 13, 2005

January 13, 2005



Revelation 4:1 - "After this I looked, and there before me was a door standing open in heaven. And the voice I had first heard speaking to me like a trumpet said, 'Come up here, and I will show you what must take place after this.'" (NIV)

My goal in worship is to get behind the veil. My passion is His presence. His presence is manna that must be sought after and received every single day or it becomes stale. There is one thing that God cannot deny -- hunger for Him.


HOW HUNGRY ARE YOU?

How hungry are you? Are you willing to passionately press through into His presence? Beloved, He must first deal with your heart. One key to unlock worship is first asking the Lord if there is anything hindering us in our heart. As I work through stripping off all sin and self before the Lord, it is as though I trade in my rags for His robes of righteousness. Then, He can begin to give you His heart, His purposes, His love for you and His people.

During worship there is so much activity happening in the supernatural. It is when the creative presence of the Lord God touches His people. Some people see pictures, hear Scriptures, get a word of knowledge, or hear His voice. All of it is valid, real, and scriptural. But, what does worship really do?


WHAT DOES WORSHIP REALLY DO?

Worship moves the very heart of God and changes the very heart of man. It takes only a few seconds of a face-to-face encounter with the manifest presence of God to change the course of human history for you, your city, or your nation.

In the Old Testament, His presence was often referred to as the Shekinah glory, the fire of divine visitation. God would literally come to visit His people. In II Chronicles 5:14 the glory of God filled Solomon's Temple and the Priests could not stand to minister. The thick weight of the presence of God would settle in so heavily that people would have to lay flat on the floor, prostrate before Him. Never underestimate the power of worship.


WHAT IS WORSHIP?

"What can make the angels cry? Cause their wings to hide their eyes?"* His beauty can!

Worship is encountering Him. It is an invitation to the place where angels cannot go, beyond the very boundary lines in heaven where God will whisper to you the secrets of His burning heart. You will hear the love songs of God's heart and return them back as songs to Him.


Prayer:

Lord, awaken my heart to worship You. I want to be one who desires You alone rather than just what You can give me or how You can use me. I want to be able to see what the angels see, go into Your Throne Room, encounter Your beauty and be ravished by Your love. When songs have become familiar and routine, burn a fresh fire in my heart so that worship will transport me into Your very heart!

"Visitations: The Epic of God's Heart"
with Jill Austin, Heidi Baker, and Ana Mendez-Ferrell
$24.00 2-CD Set

The Epic of God's Heart is the first of a unique series of recordings presented by Jill Austin featuring men and women describing their heavenly encounters. In this first volume, Jill Austin, Ana Mendez-Ferrell, and Heidi Baker each recount, in detail, visitations they have personally experienced. These visitations or "open visions" are not faint impressions or imaginative mental pictures. Rather, they are real encounters with the living Son of God not unlike that of Paul the Apostle -- " . . . whether in the body I do not know, or whether out of the body I do not know, God knows -- [I] was caught up to the third heaven" (2 Corinthians 2:12).

The Epic of God's Heart is presented as a 2-disc set. The first CD is Jill Austin, Heidi Baker, and Ana Mendez-Ferrell describing their personal, radical encounters with Christ, in the first person, cut to cutting edge, God-inspired music. The second CD is the actual instrumental tracks by themselves which can be used as a tool for your own times of secret-place prayer, intercession, and visitation.

"Master Potter and the Mountain of Fire"
by Jill Austin
$12.99
Book

The first book, Master Potter, began in Comfort Grove, a quaint 19th century fishing village. A young woman named Forsaken, portrayed as a broken clay pitcher, met Master Potter. He changed her name to Beloved.

Her journey from brokenness to divine destiny continues in Master Potter and the Mountain of Fire. Beloved and her friends are loaded on pottery wagons and taken to the dreaded Mountain of Fire. In this mountain kiln they struggle with heartrending issues of unforgiveness, suffering, sickness, needing miracles, and a friend's moral failure.

In the midst of the raging fires, Beloved travels through eternity in a crystal chariot. Ushered into astounding places -- the Heavenly Library, the War Room, and a warehouse called Miracles Unlimited -- Beloved's heart is transformed by the passionate love of Master Potter, the Bridegroom King.

"Master Potter"
From Brokenness to Divine Destiny - An Allegorical Journey
by Jill Austin
$12.99 Book
...BEFORE THERE WAS HARRY POTTER - THERE WAS MASTER POTTER...

Master Potter tells the story of Beloved -- wounded and left vulnerable by an abused childhood, she is rescued by Master Potter. Whisked away to his rustic home overlooking the quaint village of Comfort Cove, Beloved begins her painful journey of healing.

The hardships she endures, the lessons she learns, and the invisible world she discovers will cause you to cheer for each triumphant step she takes and weep with each mistake she makes.

Master Potter is a powerful Christian allegory for all ages with the potential to become a Christian classic along the lines of Hannah Hurnard's Hinds' Feet on High Places and John Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress.
 
"You are not merely beginning a book, but rather entering your own journey into the ravished heart of Jesus, the Master Potter." - MIKE BICKLE, International House of Prayer
