Jill Austin: "HOW
DOES THE JEZEBEL SPIRIT OPERATE--And How Did Deborah Deal with It?"
 Are
You a Burning One?
So how hot are you? Women/Deborahs who have been in slavery for decades, are you
willing to come up and be mothers? Are you really willing to come up and get the
strategies of God? What is your destiny?
Are you burning with calling and destiny in the midst of your spirit? Yet,
because of religious legalism and wrong interpretation of the Word of God, you
believe that you are not allowed to preach.
But the word says that the Lord appeared to Mary Magdalene and she was the first
one to preach. You remember her, the one who had seven demons? He appeared first
to a woman, and she went running with the good news as a radical evangelist
preaching, "He has risen!"
You need to look at the Word. There is freedom through Jesus. There is freedom
through the Word of God. Nothing should stop us from being able to move
radically in the things of the Lord.
There needs to be a cry that shouts how much of the Holy Spirit is burning in
you! Have you gradually over the decades become seeker-friendly? Did you used to
be more radical and wild in God? A little more on the cutting edge?
Simple Gospel on the Cutting Edge
In the Jesus People Movement, of which I
was a part, we would go out and tell everyone about Jesus! We were broken and we
knew it. We came out of sin and we knew it.
We would go up to people and say, "I was broken and I was hurting, but I met a
man and He loves me. I met a man and He loves me and His name is Jesus! He can
heal you. He can set you free. I met a man and He loves me!"
This is the simple Gospel. It has that radical cutting edge. God wants you on
the edge again. He wants a radical abandonment as lovers again. He doesn't want
you to have to weigh everything out so that you are no longer a living
testimony.
He wants that radical heart that cries out, "Lord, I love You! I love You,
Lord! I want You, Lord!" That radical cry, that burning heart, where you used to
love with such a radical fervency! You had passion! You were alive in every
sense of that word! You were contagious and people wanted what you had!
We have now become churched. We have now become too polite. We have become too
religious. We have learned as women, that we better not speak. If we really say
what truth is, and if it messes up the politics of the church, we will be judged
as Jezebels. Some of you know what I am talking about!
How Does the Jezebel Spirit Operate?
Why not be judged as a Deborah? The Lord is calling for the Deborahs to arise.
Most women I have met are not Jezebels. They might have father issues. They
might have to work through some healing issues, but that doesn't mean that they
are demonically worshipping in front of idols with sexual perversion.
Jezebel was a governmental principality. She goes after government. And because
most women might have government but are not in a place of government, Jezebel
doesn't hit you as hard as the men.
Most of the Jezebels I have met have been men. Jezebel is not male or female; it
is a spirit that works through people. You need to look at that and then compare
it to Deborah.
What did Deborah Do?
She moved in government. She is what you
call a five-fold minister. The Lord is raising up women as apostles, prophets,
teachers, evangelists, and pastors.
Yes, there is a corporate apostolic anointing that is starting to move, and we
will all move in it like Christianity 101. This is a realm where the government
and weight of God comes and people get saved, healed, and delivered. That is
part of what is moving now, but God is also moving people into office.
Jezebel moves governmentally. Deborah moves governmentally. Jezebel would kill
anyone, and take away everything it could if it got its own way. Deborah moved
as a team player. She moved with Barak.
Deborah's husband's name means, "Shines like a lamp," and she was one that
tended the lamp. You could see that there was relationship. Her husband was like
a Christ figure, and she was like the Bride of Christ.
Jezebel moved with a murderous contempt, while Deborah had the heart of a
deliverer. Deborah wanted to deliver the nation from oppression. She saw the
people under heavy bondage, and her whole motivation of the heart was to serve.
Let's be the Women/Deborahs that God has called us and destined us to be!

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

 "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
