Atmosphere of Heaven (Part 2)- Karen Austin

Whirlwind Teaching and Equipping , , , , , , , , , ,

We talked last week about one aspect of the Atmosphere of Heaven is the atmosphere created by spirit and truth worship. It is where He alone is lifted up and the glory of the Lord fills the temple.

Another aspect of the Atmosphere of Heaven is an atmosphere where you are accepted. His amazing love prepared the way that you can come boldly to His throne of grace and mercy [Hebrews 4:16]. It is only because of His precious blood that speaks. “…in joyful assembly, to the congregation of the firstborn, enrolled in Heaven. You have come to God the Judge of all men, to the spirits of the righteous made perfect, to Jesus the mediator of a new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood that speaks a better word than the blood of Abel. See to it that you do not refuse Him who speaks. For if the people did not escape when they refused Him who warned them on earth, how much less will we escape if we reject Him who warns us from Heaven?” Hebrews 12:23-25

Through the shedding of His blood, you are cleansed, if you have accepted Him as your Lord and Savior. You are accepted in the Beloved. “In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace” Ephesians 1:7

So the atmosphere of Heaven is one of acceptance, not of rejection. It is not because I am supposed to love you because I am a Christian, but because I have His love within me. I become so consumed by His all-consuming love for me, which I cannot help but love those whom I come in contact with. His love within me is then free to flow out to those around me. Have you ever had someone say “I love you with the love of the Lord?” Sometimes that means “I really can’t stand you, but He says I must love you.” That is not what I am talking about.

Religion has portrayed our Father in Heaven as one waiting to hammer you when you sin. Of course, Holy Spirit convicts you of sin so you will repent and your relationship with your Heavenly Father will not be hindered or that a door for the enemy in your life would open. You have been adopted into the family of the Creator of all things. “God decided in advance to adopt us into his own family by bringing us to himself through Jesus Christ. This is what he wanted to do, and it gave him great pleasure.”

The word “Father” in Aramaic actually means “Daddy”. So He is your Heavenly Daddy! Being His child is the safest place to be. His love is unconditional and His love is constant…so unlike the kind of love in the world. The atmosphere of Heaven is a place of safety and love.

“The Spirit you received does not make you slaves, so that you live in fear again; rather, the Spirit you received brought about your adoption to sonship. And by him we cry, “Abba, Father.” Romans 8:15

Social Distancing and Lockdown – Bill Chilcote

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

Social distancing is a God thing…. distance yourself from the world and get close to your Heavenly Father. Re-boot your life and come into alignment with the Lord. The voice of the world and the wisdom of man brings us into fear, this is opposite of what God is saying. Yes, lockdown can be a very good thing. Will you choose to listen to the world or enter the secret place with the Lord during this time, (Ps 91) to see what He is saying.

This lockdown is giving families the opportunity to spend more time together which strengthens relationships. As families break bread together and take the cup of communion, they remember and proclaim what the Lord has done. God is preparing us, He is re-booting us, realigning us and restructuring us. As a people God is asking us to come before Him in our brokenness, humbling ourselves, repenting before him and seeking His Face. (2 Chron. 7:14). This shaking is for our awakening to know Him and prepare us for what He is doing in this new era.

We are never going to be the same. Don’t miss what the Lord is doing as He brings us closer to Him. He wants to do a deep work within us.
The Lord is asking us to walkout Romans 12:1-2
The Lord is asking us to think on these things (Phil. 4:8)
The Lord is wanting us to understand our help comes from Him (Psalm 121:1-2)
My sheep hear My voice, I know them and they follow me.(John 10:27).
My word goes forth from my mouth.. It accomplishes and prospers where I send it (Is. 55:11)

This is the season to declare and decree the word of the Lord. It is a season of revealing the sons of God (Romans 8:19) To stand up and proclaim the word of the Lord. (Is. 61).

I will leave you with this last scripture (Ps. 32: 8 TPT)

I hear the Lord saying” I will stay close to you, instructing and guiding you along the pathway for your life. I will advise you along the way and lead you forth with my eyes as your guide. So don’t make it difficult, don’t be stubborn when I take you where you’ve not been before.

Bless you… Journey Well

The Harvest is Ripe – Karen Austin

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

Lately these words have been coming to me “Many, many in the valley of decision.” This comes out of Joel 3 and I would like to share this portion of scripture with you:

“Swing the sickle, for the harvest is ripe.
Come, trample the grapes, for the winepress is full
and the vats overflow—so great is their wickedness!”

Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision!
For the day of the Lord is near in the valley of decision.
The sun and moon will be darkened, and the stars no longer shine. The Lord will roar from Zion and thunder from Jerusalem; the earth and the heavens will tremble.
But the Lord will be a refuge for his people, a stronghold for the people of Israel.

“Then you will know that I, the Lord your God,
dwell in Zion, my holy hill. Jerusalem will be holy;
never again will foreigners invade her. “In that day the mountains will drip new wine, and the hills will flow with milk; all the ravines of Judah will run with water.
A fountain will flow out of the Lord’s house and will water the valley of acacias” Joel 3:13-18

I believe these scriptures have prophetic insight to the days we are living. The harvest is definitely ripe and ready for harvest. Many are in the valley of decision. Many have come face to face with their own mortality and inabilities to hold onto what was normal just a few short weeks ago. Uncertainty is the new norm. But we see from scripture that Lord forewarned these days would come. He promises to be a stronghold or place of shelter for His people, for those who will run to Him.

It will be in times such as these and even as darker days appear upon this earth, in these times He has promised that new wine or the new things of Holy Spirit shall flow from the mountain of God. There will be living waters flowing to bring life to where there is death and destruction. It says water will come in the valley of acacias or valley of wilderness. The acacia tree was one of the only types of trees that would grow in the wilderness. The wood is dense and very strong and would endure for a long time.

I hope you are getting what Holy Spirit is saying to you! We, who are His, will not only endure but we will remain strong and out of us His living waters will flow to those who are in despair. We will release His life in places of death. We will sing of His glorious mercies that endure forever and the glory of the Lord will fill the house!

This is the house that the multitudes will run to. It will not be to hear an eloquent speaker. It will not be to one whose diamonds shine for all to see. No, they will flow to the house where the only garments they desire to wear are the garments of righteousness. They will flow to the house whose people have made a decision to be ones who minister to Him and out of that overflow will flow His miracles to the multitudes!

I have so longed for those days and my friends, they are upon us!

Watch for the Seasons of the Lord – Karen Austin

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

As I have been contemplating about this that we are facing and the timelines being set by those in authority, I keep coming back to His seasons never change. The enemy manifesting through man may try to change the days and seasons, but His Word and His seasons are forever settled in Heaven. But many in the church are not aware of the times and seasons of our Father. Many desire things to eventually go back as they have been.

I sense the Lord say “Things have shifted – a new season is upon you. My Kingdom rule and My Kingdom rein through those who are Mine is now the time you have entered. Many have said, have prayed, “Your Kingdom come on earth as it is in Heaven”. But they have not embraced the part of My Son’s prayer “Your will be done”. The heart of many in My church is for Heaven to come so they may live a life of ease. For nothing to interfere with their life plans and schedules to further My Kingdom, but I have said in My Word, in this world you will have tribulation.

For your enemy is a legalist and My people are blind to the things that have given him a legal right. But I am raising up a company of those like Jeremiah who will uproot and will plant. I am giving sight to those who seek. I am causing those to raise up a standard as they come into agreement with Heaven. For in this time, there will be those with not only Heaven on their minds, but Heaven in their heart. It will be from this place of abiding in My will and My purpose that a path will be formed for others to follow. I am raising up forerunners who hear even the whispers of My heart. They are becoming so sensitive in this season to My desires that when they see them come to pass such joy will fill them such as they world can give; because they will know for this they prayed, for this they contended.

I say there is a river of revelation coming and this is what will cause My people to rise above the cares of this world, to begin to rule and rein from their Heavenly position. This will cause faith to come to a new level because they trust in Me. A partnering with Heaven is at hand and I desire you to be a part. Will you submit your desires to Me? Will you allow My desires to become your desires? I desire to trust you with the secrets of My heart. I have chosen you to be alive in this space of time, choose wisely.”

God is Dealing With Idols – Karen Austin

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

While on a prayer call tonight, Holy Spirit led me to 1 Samuel 5:1-5 “After the Philistines had captured the ark of God, they took it from Ebenezer to Ashdod. Then they carried the ark into Dagon’s temple and set it beside Dagon. When the people of Ashdod rose early the next day, there was Dagon, fallen on his face on the ground before the ark of the Lord! They took Dagon and put him back in his place. But the following morning when they rose, there was Dagon, fallen on his face on the ground before the ark of the Lord! His head and hands had been broken off and were lying on the threshold; only his body remained. That is why to this day neither the priests of Dagon nor any others who enter Dagon’s temple at Ashdod step on the threshold.”

What I sensed He was showing me was He has been trying to deal with our idols, but we keep putting them back in place. Now He is coming to us in our times of being shut away to deal with the things we have allowed to become idols in our lives. But this time, if we allow Him, He is cutting off the head and the hands of our idols. Biblical meaning of the head deals with the seat of reason and intellect. The head is the one who is leader. Biblical meaning of the hand represents control, ownership and power. So in this time, all the things that were as idols in our lives, He wants to disarm.

He has been showing me mindsets I had that were just a little out of line with His. He also has been showing me things that I didn’t realize before that I had put in place of His desires.

When we have idols in our lives, we cannot see Him clearly.1 John 3:2 “Beloved, now we are the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be; but we know that, when He shall appear, we shall be like Him; for we shall see Him as He is.”His ultimate goal in every one of us is to be conformed into His image as mature sons. Thus the reason of His desire for the destruction of idols we keep putting back in place in our lives.

The other thing He highlighted to me was the word “threshold” in the scripture reference I began with. We have to cross over a threshold as a way of entrance and a way of exit. We have crossed the threshold into this season one way, but His intent for you and for me is for when we cross over the threshold to come out of this season, we will be like Him!
