Walking in a Place of Authority – Karen Austin

I had a dream awhile back where I sensed such an overshadowing of Holy Spirit. I can’t explain it… but as I began to dream, I felt His Presence and His power going through my physical body.

In the dream I was driving to my former place of employment, Magistrate Court. I stopped at the bank on the way and it was taking so long for them to process my transaction, I began to get anxious, but every time I would look at the clock, it continued to say 3:30 p.m., reassuring me I still had time since I was to be at work at 4 p.m.

I finally got to work. My job on this shift was to work the front desk and oversee the judge’s court docket. The scene changed as I was walking up to the podium where the court docket was lying. The scene had now become a football field full of spectators in the banisters. As I walked up the isle to the podium, something came over me and I began walking in such confidence and authority! It was no longer just “me”, but a Presence was upon me. People began stepping aside to let me through because of the authority of His Presence that was upon me. I looked up and saw my husband sitting in the bleachers and I could tell from the look on his face that he recognized there was something different about me. It was no longer me, but I was completely overshadowing by Him!

As I got to the side of the podium, I noticed a lot of commotion from the people in the stands. I somehow knew someone important was coming onto the field by the excitement of the people. I looked and it was Jesus in His majesty! People we completely awe struck! Then I woke up.

I sensed that this dream was not about me, but about His people. We are going about our daily activities and its demands, but in the back of our minds we wonder if we are going to be late and we are getting anxious…like it is taking so long for the things of God that we so desire to see. But as I looked at the clock, time was standing still, assuring me that I would not be late. And so it is with you. This move of God and your involvement is all in the timing of the Lord. You will not be late if you are moving towards Him. My job was to oversee the judge’s docket, which is a place of authority He has given us. He desires to give us insight as to the timing of His appointments.

Just as I sensed an overshadowing of such authority and power of His Presence that people took notice, His Bride is stepping into a dispensation of time when He is going to overshadow us and we will be turned into another man, as we know happened to Saul. People will not be able to deny that the Lord is with us.

As Jesus walked upon the football field in my dream, this is like unto the soon revealing of Jesus in such a way that all people will see Him and be in awe of His glory and His majesty. The fear of the Lord is coming upon people, especially those in His church. We will see Him as He is and great awe and hunger for His holiness will once again be prominent among His people. We will become a people of holiness walking in the fear of the Lord. We will walk in humility, love and compassion. This is the church the world is waiting to see.
