Jill Austin: "How to Deal
with Betrayal"
 Are
You in A Foreign Land?
Are you in the midst of a "foreign land?" For instance, is your journey like
being in a marriage where your husband is not following the Lord? Are you still
seeking the Lord, or are you starting to compromise a little bit? Are you not as
hot and on fire as you use to be, pressing in for the voice of God in your life?
Let's take a lesson from Joseph's journey when he was brought into a foreign
land.
Once Again, Betrayed
After leaving the dungeon the first time, Joseph was once again betrayed, but
the Lord allowed it. Strategically, Potiphar's house wasn't the right place
where God needed Joseph. His garment was literally torn and ripped off. He was
accused of being an assaulter.
How many of you have had witch hunts come against you, where you have been
accused of being a Jezebel, or been unjustly betrayed or misunderstood, and your
character has been assassinated? The Lord has even allowed that to test your
heart. Are you going to be bitter or sweet?
Set Up for the Favor of the Lord
We know that Joseph was in the royal dungeon, and once again, the favor of the
Lord was with him. Once again, he was strategically placed in the royal dungeon,
even though it took years to be brought out and put before Pharaoh.
I am talking about a garment change. I am talking about a governmental shift,
where many times you lose your title and your place of authority, because God
shifts you, and you don't understand why you are being led away in irons.
Or suddenly, you are wrongly accused. You have done a good job to the best of
your ability, and suddenly you are put in the dungeon where you are forgotten
for years.
As Joseph's dungeon experience continues, Pharaoh had a dream that none of the
magicians could solve. Suddenly they remembered Joseph, who had interpreted
their dreams, and he was brought before Pharaoh. He interpreted Pharaoh's dream
and was given a robe of authority.
The Lord sets this up strategically, because if you are called as a deliverer
and a forerunner, the Lord has to work His heart of humility in you.
Two Seats in Heaven to Deal with Betrayal
There are two seats in Heaven. There is the judgment seat and there is the mercy
seat. When you have been wrongly accused, whipped beyond recognition, and you
are bleeding from betrayal and assassination with false accusations coming
against you, you can choose to go to the mercy seat or the judgment seat.
If you go to the judgment seat, the accuser will be there waiting. He will give
you partial truth, and you will start to move in bitterness and anger. Your
wounds will become infected, and you could be disqualified... until you deal
with your unforgiveness!
Or, you can go to the mercy seat and cry out, and throw yourself between the
horns of the altar, onto the precious splattered blood of the Lord. There, your
wounds will begin to heal, and the scars will begin to glow with the
resurrection anointing of Jesus. It is as though you are praying, "Lord forgive
them, they don't know what they are doing." This action brings promotion in
the Spirit.
A Custom-Designed Death
Then when you go to the city gates, being marred beyond recognition--looking
just like the suffering Servant, Jesus, and glowing with the resurrection
anointing from the Cross of the Lamb--then you can say, "Open up the gates!
Open up the gates for the King of Glory! Open up the gates!" You can cry this
out because you look just like Jesus!
Part of your journey as a deliverer and as a forerunner is the changing of
garments. What season are you in? That is part of the divine strategy of the
Lord--to kill us so that we look more like Him!
The only problem is, it is a custom-designed death for each one of us. We don't
get to choose how we get to die! We think it would be easier if we could choose
our "death."
The Lord strategically sets up the death for each one of us, to deal with the
motives of our heart, so that we love Him; so that we will be desperate for Him
and press into Him...no matter what!

 "Visitations: The Epic of God's Heart"
by Jill Austin, with Heidi Baker and Ana Mendez-Ferrell
$24.00
Music CD
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.
  "...you are drenched in the prophetic presence of
Heaven..."
--James W. Goll
"...your heart will be enlarged by the pure love of Jesus."
-- Heidi Baker

Master Potter
Combo Pack
by Jill Austin
$29.98
(Savings: $4.98)
Books
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.
The first book, Master Potter, begins
in a 19th century village. A young woman
named Forsaken, portrayed as a broken clay pitcher, meets
Master Potter--He changes her name to Beloved.
Master Potter tells
the story of Beloved--wounded and left vulnerable by an
abusive childhood, she is rescued by Master Potter. Whisked
away to His 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 causes you to cheer for
each step she takes and weep with each mistake
she makes.
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, and a friend's moral failure. 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.
 "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
