"The Least Shall be the Greatest: Humility"
by Jill Austin
Feb 20, 2005
|
 James
4:6, 7, 10 - "Therefore He says: 'God resists the proud, but
gives grace to the humble.' Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will
flee from you. Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you
up."
Years ago when ministering in the nation of New Zealand, I was given an open-eyed
vision that changed my life. I saw an enormous fiery angel full of the glory of
the Lord walking up and down the nation. He was brandishing a mighty sword that
was beheading those who were standing tall in their own pride, egotism, and self
glory. The Lord was dealing with the haughty attitude of their heart through this
powerful angel.
Those who were bowed low on their faces and postured themselves in humility were
spared, knighted, and promoted. The Lord was raising them up to a new place of leadership
because of their meekness and humility of heart.
God requires and honors humility! If you want your life to have significance, then
position yourself at the feet of Jesus.
Church Politics and the
Heart of God
As I have ministered in conferences nationally and internationally, I've seen many
people moving in self-promotion and climbing the corporate ladder of ministry through
church politics. Honestly, this breaks the very heart of God. It also tests our
hearts when we are overlooked and others are unfairly promoted above us. The Lord
allows these "fires" to work a death in our own hearts - killing our pride and need
for position.
We cannot use people - or prostitute His bride - to build our name, ministry or
personal mailing lists. The goal is to be so accepted and confident in His love
that we do not need the lime light because we are so in love with The Light of the
World, the glorious man Christ Jesus.
At the end of the day, His opinion is the only one that counts. When we are so rooted
and grounded in His affections, it is easy to not care about promoting ourselves.
It is then that we find ourselves in that wonderful place of reckless abandonment
- of being a laid-down lover of Jesus - and our lives are truly all about Him.
There is a price behind the anointing!
The years of being overlooked are
a fiery inferno, but the Lord can use it to work gold in our hearts. The challenge
in this life-long journey is to keep our heart soft, humble, and bowed low before
Him. Our gifts will make room for us in due season. Do we have love and humility,
regardless of what happened to us or have we become disqualified because of bitterness
and hardness of heart?
Prayer: Lord, help me to stay on the operating table as You perform heart
surgery. Make me so rooted and grounded in Your love that I don't promote myself.
Give me grace and humility to accept Your timing and orchestration of my life.

"Visitations: The
Epic of God's Heart"
by Jill Austin, with 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 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 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.

"Intercession and
Divine Encounters"
by Jill Austin
$10.00 Audio Cassette Series
$12.00 CD Series |
|
Changing History through
Radical Prayer
Outside the palace walls Mordecai
stands, a strategic gate-keeper, crying out in prophetic intercession to stop
the demonic decrees to exterminate the entire Jewish nation. From the inner
courts, in her royal robes, Queen Esther summons her people to fast and pray for
a miracle. Two hands join and the destiny of a nation is changed forever. In
this teaching, Jill powerfully and prophetically preaches on how God is
fulfilling the Malachi 4 mandate, bringing two generations together in radical
prophetic intercession to save His people. This tape will empower you to be one
who stands in the counsel of the Lord, possessing governmental authority in the
heavens, to battle both in the courts of heaven and of men, reversing the
decrees of death over your life, your family, and your nation.
When the Lord Breaks In...
Do you feel unqualified or
unworthy for a visitation? Jill's teaching shatters illusions and
misunderstandings by revealing how God visits His people, not based upon their
goodness, but because of His own. She sheds light on the supernatural by
offering live clips from interviews and incredible testimonies of men and women,
much like you, who experienced life-changing visitations. In this tape, you will
journey to the throne room of God, marvel at the four living creatures, stand in
amazing awe of your Maker, and gain greater desperation for God. A favorite
among the Master Potter staff, this album offers two radical tapes for truly
radical believers. Warning to listener: The Lord will break in suddenly!
