The Overshadowing – Karen Austin

Whirlwind Prophetic Teaching , , , , , , , , , , , ,

In the book of Luke, we read of Holy Spirit coming upon and overshadowing Mary which resulted in the God seed of Jesus deposited into her womb. “The angel answered, “The Holy Spirit will come on you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. So the holy one to be born will be called the Son of God.” Luke 1:35

It is only through intimacy that anything is birthed. Within our spirit is the womb of heaven. It is where eternal seeds of destiny have been sown in our spiritual womb. It was the same Holy Spirit that hovered over Mary and impregnated her with spiritual seed that has impregnated you with your dreams and destiny. It is this dream that you hold onto, even though it may not have yet manifested. It is this dream that serves as a compass to your destiny. It is not too late. You are not disqualified because of your gender or your age. You are not disqualified if your family is not walking with your spiritually. Your dream and desires have not been cancelled. In the realm of eternity, His promises are eternal.

So what gets in our way of seeing heaven manifest? He once said to me that the enemy wants to entangle you with the world, while I want to intertwine you with the heavenly. I wasn’t aware there was much of a difference between the two words and had to the difference between entangle and intertwine. Here is what I found:

ENTANGLE: A tangled, twisted mess, not easily separated, to make confused, caught in a net, cause to get involved in something in a way that makes it difficult to escape, conflicts, examples: stress, conflicts with others, impatience, anything that takes you out of peace and joy.

Can you see how the enemy does this in your life?

INTERTWINE: Twisted together like threads of cotton, lover’s limbs interwoven together, closely related as family; a metaphor – getting married, thread of life tangled together, very closely involved.

Truth be told, we are so much more intertwined with the things of the spirit than we imagine!

2 Corinthians 4:18 “So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.”

I am sure all of us have experienced cooking something too long and the food became crusty and stuck to the pan. If we then filled the pan with water and let it sit awhile, the food that was stuck and hard became soft and easily removed. This was my life many years ago before I yielded to the wooing of Holy Spirit to come and spend time in His Presence.

I was crusty and shut down emotionally. I had endured many hurts, disappointments, rejection and had hardened my heart to everything…even receiving love…even to God. It was in this place of intimacy, many tears of healing were shed. Much of the time, not a word was said…but He read my tears and knew my desperation to be healed emotionally. It is so vital to spend intimate time in His presence for it is the place of transformation.

Holy Spirit began to woo me, in that place of intimacy to learn of Him, of His goodness, His tenderness and His fiery love for me. This was not only my journey to healing but also began my journey in becoming more aware of the spirit realm interacting in my life.

He is inviting every one of us on a journey to learn how we can more cooperate with Holy Spirit. There is so much that He desires to share with us. Let’s choose to yield to Him and become atmosphere changes for the Kingdom! Light truly does overcome darkness!

The Crowd and the Crown (Conclusion) – Karen Austin

Whirlwind Prophetic Teaching , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

In conclusion to the messages regarding the “crowds” that come against us in life, I submit this word to you. We are to not only bring words of encouragement, but at times, we are to sound the alarm, which is released as protection and to bring an awareness. As we are coming out of this time of quarantine, know it is a time of passing over and we do not want to take any of the baggage of the latter day with us. It’s a new day, it’s to be a new way…a coming out of the wilderness and entering into our promised land. My prayer is that this will encourage you, while awaken you.

“A stampede of a variety of crowds are coming against My people in this hour to cause them to lose faith, to lose courage to stand up against the battle that is being waged against them. But I release this alarm to cause My people to awaken to the reality of the pressure of these crowds and to understand the significance of this hour.

The purpose of the crowds of the enemy is to lead My people down paths that I did not intend them to follow. The enemy desires to bring condemnation upon My people at the place where they have stopped and compromised, saying “Look at where you are! Look where you have failed.” But know this, the enemy is a liar! I will always have a plan of redemption for you, a plan to bring you back to My plan of life for you.

There has been a distinct attack of compromise and lethargy that has come against My Body. Be wise My people. Do not conform back to this world, but be renewed in the spirit of your mind. Follow the leading of My Spirit in all matters of your life. The price is too costly to submit to compromise… to remain complacent…to not recognize the lateness of the hour. For the enemy will attempt to bring one thing and then another to slowly move you from your place of abiding in Me. Just as a pioneer who would wander away from the camp would be open game for the enemy’s attack, so also will you be if you move from the place I have called you to stand.

Hear what I say to you this day. Know that the enemy is very subtle. His suggestions always sound good. They always have, but know he is a deceiver and a liar. There is not truth in him for he comes to steal, kill and to destroy. But I have come to bring you life and life abundantly!

Press on My children for I have the victor’s crown waiting for you. Know that I am for you and not against you. I have given you all that you need for the battle. I have overcome the world and you are more than a conqueror because of the victory that I have won for you. Walk in it. I have given you the power and authority to walk away from the crowds that seek to draw you from My best for your life.

I have a place of peace for you and in this place, you will see clearly – where you are to go and what you are to do. Receive My strength today. Receive My grace today. I love you and I call you an overcomer! You can do all things through Me, the OVERCOMER who strengthens you!”
