Abundant Life is Revealed in the Spirit – Karen Austin

When Jesus walked the earth, we read in Scripture there was such division among the people over Him. “So the crowd was divided over Jesus,” Luke 7:43.Some believe He was the Messiah. Otherswere offended by His teaching. They said “How can He say this?” The religious leaders even went so far as to say about ones who followed Him, “They are all cursed”. The people had an understanding of the Bible, but still missed who Jesus was and what He was saying. Unbelievable…but is it really?

Unfortunately, this will be so in our day. There are scriptural truths about to be revealed that some will again say “How can this be true? I believe the Scripture means this…” There will be things that take place that some will cry out, “How can God let his happen?” But what many fail to understand, and honestly have not been taught, is the foundation of His throne is righteousness and justice [Psalm 89:14]. All throughout history, time and time again, God does what He does because of love. He hates evil. We know that the enemy’s goal is to steal, kill and destroy. God is very, very longsuffering giving mankind much time to repent. We, too, are told to hate evil [Psalm 97:10].

Jesus came so that we may have life and life abundantly [John 10:10]. Abundant life does not mean that we have the coolest car on the block. It does not mean that we have a lavish home. Life abundant means life free from the law of sin and death. It means we have eternal life. It means we have our needs met, not our wants. It means walking in wholeness; spirit, soul and body. It means walking in the light as He is in the light. It means hearing and being obedient to His voice. It means being led by His Spirit. We must understand that this life of freedom Jesus paid the price for does not come just because we go to church once a week. It comes because we choose to live a life of obedience and holiness. This is a season where we are seeing the dividing of the wheat and tares and of sheep and goat nations.

Just because our nation was founded upon Christian values established by our founding fathers, does not mean we automatically live in the liberties that were intended. No, we must fight to maintain those freedoms in our nation. So it is spiritually. “Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.” Galatians 5:1

My brothers and my sisters, we are about to find out who we really are and what God created us to do. We, who yield to the dealing of Holy Spirit, are soon to find out what a major part we are to play in this culmination of history as we know it. The curtain of this new season is being pulled back, ever so slightly. We are getting a glimpse into this new era. Again, some will not understand. Some will be offended. His light of revelation is uncovering hidden truths in His Word, which will reveal not only His majesty, but also our assignment destined from the beginning of time.

As we receive what He is offering us to walk in such as liberty and authority, as we follow Holy Spirit’s leading, we will walk in the powers of the age to come. We will walk upon the road less traveled. We will say to the mountain before us, “Be removed”, and it will move! We will not be ones who will follow Jesus just because of His miracles. But because of our love and passion for Jesus, we will follow Him. Out of that place of being hidden in Him, we will work the greater miracles that Jesus spoke of.

These are days of great darkness, but for us who are willing and obedient, we will walk in days of great light!

Walk as Children of the Light (Conclusion) – Karen Austin

Approximately fifteen years ago while in prayer, I got a deep sense that something regarding “light” was going to be significant in the days to come. I had no further revelation, just a knowing. I am now just beginning to receive a bit of revelation on the subject and am seeing others begin to teach on the subject of light.

In the natural sense, light therapy is beginning to be used as a healing therapy, which I find very interesting! They even have created “Happy Lights” that “mimic sunlight to enhance mood, energy, sleep and focus”. This is a created light, but the light I want to focus on is our Creator’s light.

The first thing that God did in creation was to release light. “…Now the earth was formless and void, and darkness was over the surface of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the surface of the waters. And God said, “Let there be light.” and there was light. And God saw that the light was good, and He separated the light from the darkness.…” Genesis 1:2-4

When we accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior, His light was released to us. “…to open their eyes and turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God, so that they may receive forgiveness of sins and a place among those who are sanctified by faith in me.’ Acts 26:18

His light is continually being shed upon us as we read His Word and spend time in prayer. His light reveals darkness in us just as when Isaiah saw the glory of God. “Woe to me!” I cried. “I am ruined! For I am a man of unclean lips, and I live among a people of unclean lips, and my eyes have seen the King, the Lord Almighty.” Isaiah 6:5. When His light shines, revelation comes.

I truly believe in answer to our many times of intercession and tears, He is answering our prayers. It may not look like we thought it would, but He is doing just what we have been crying out for. We may wish we didn’t have to see the things that are being exposed, but they have existed for a long time, even if we didn’t want to acknowledge them. His light is shining exposing corruption in nations. His light is exposing the plans of evil to destroy and to silence the church. His light is also exposing wrong motives, jealousy, selfishness, pride and other works of the flesh in the church. The church is to be building His Kingdom, not our own Kingdoms. He is coming back for a spotless Bride and will have no less!

“For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light (for the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness, righteousness, and truth), finding out what is acceptable to the Lord. And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather expose them. For it is shameful even to speak of those things which are done by them in secret. But all things that are exposed are made manifest by the light, for Arise from the dead, And Christ will give you light.” Ephesians 5:8-13

His brilliant light has been shining in our hearts, especially during this time of being shut-in, to expose bondage in our lives and reveal things we didn’t know even existed in our hearts. My prayer is that His Bride is allowing Him to expose darkness in us so we will shine even more brightly for Him. He promises to give us light. If we make a determined choice to remain in the light, we will become more like Him every day.

If you haven’t noticed, the world has not been running to our doors. Honestly, in many instances, the church has not looked much different from the world. The one thing that will set us apart is holiness. Holiness and purity. Not holiness as an outward adornment, but an inward beauty. Jesus was raised from the dead “…with power, according to the spirit of holiness” Romans 1:4. The resurrection power of God is from true holiness. “For they indeed for a few days chastened us as seemed best to them, but He for our profit, that we may be partakers of His holiness” (Hebrews 12:10).

The world has yet to see this Bride coming out of these times of wilderness shining with the light of Jesus, clothed with the garments of holiness and resurrection power. Now is the time for this mighty army to arise because this is the hour that the world will need us the most. “Nations will come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your dawn.” Isaiah 60:3

Jesus is still saying to us today, “Repent for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand.” It is time, Bride of Christ, to allow His purifying light to search our hearts to see if there is any evil way that we may be made clean and pure to shine forth His glorious light in the days that lie ahead. I ask, by the power of Holy Spirit, that I do not allow my flesh to dim my light.

1 Peter 2:9, “But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.” … You are royal priests, a holy nation, God’s very own possession.

The Depths of His Love – Karen Austin

“I am bringing you into a place of knowing the depth of My love – which is a place of freedom. A place where you will know who I am and you will know who you are.

I say the mountain that is before you shall melt like wax at My Presence. There is no devil, no sickness, no disease that can stand in My Presence. Only you, My beloved, have I allowed, have I invited to come stand in My Presence. For when you stand in My Presence, I shall release fresh vision unto you. I shall speak to your heart the things that you must know.

When you worship, know I am in the midst of your worship. As I said in My Word, I inhabit the praises of My people. I shall rise up as a mighty warrior and I will fight for you! Strengthen yourself in Me! Worship unto Me and shout to the mountain that is before you, for I shall release My voice though you!

I would have you to understand the power of My love. Think of the mighty power that is in a flood of water that invades your land. It washes everything in its path. It removes debris. It even removes that which has been rooted for a long time. So it is with My love. Many do not understand the power of My love. Some say love is weak, but oh, they have not experienced My all consuming love.

There is power in My Word! There is power in My name! There is power in My blood! There is power in My love! When you release My love within you there is power released – power to soften even the hardest of hearts. When you release love, you release Me, for I am love.”
