Numbers 13:32-33 -
"And they gave the children of Israel a bad report of the
land which they had spied out, saying, 'The land through which we have gone as
spies is a land that devours its inhabitants, and all the people whom we saw in
it are men of great stature. There we saw the giants (the descendants of Anak
came from the giants); and we were like grasshoppers in our own sight, and so we
were in their sight.'"
Are you the Moses generation or the Joshua generation?
Moses sent men to spy out the Promised Land, and they returned with a bad report
because of their fear of the giants. Instead of trusting the Lord, their hearts
shriveled and they saw themselves as grasshoppers. They had a leftover slave
mentality from Egypt and even God's powerful signs, wonders, and provisions
weren't enough for them to trust Him. Their grasshopper mentality resulted in
their refusal to go to war and take the land. With the exception of Joshua and
Caleb, who believed the Lord could defeat the giants, the rest perished in the
wilderness, even though the Lord's plan had always been to bring them in!
Many times we base our confidence and faith on outward circumstances instead of
on what God has told us He will do. We have to anchor our faith in who He is,
rather than in what we can do in our own strength.
So what or who are the giants in your land? What are the strongholds that rob
you of faith and enslave you to fear? We need to cry out for a fresh revelation
of God's awesomeness. As you believe God and even take baby steps in faith, He
will give you the key strategies to do the impossible. God never saw His people
as grasshoppers. Rather, He saw the giants as grasshoppers!
God wants you to have faith to believe His promises and His unshakable
abilities. The key to conquering new territory in the Spirit and taking out
giants is to take the first step - to trust and believe that He is able to do
it! Take that leap of faith and be a radical Joshua who will take out the giants
in your land.
Prayer: Lord, forgive me for taking my eyes off of You and looking at
the giants. Help me not to have a grasshopper mentality and not to move in fear,
but in faith. Forgive me for my unbelief. Even as the Israelites needed to go to
war and trust you for the strategies, I also want to be courageous and trust you
for the victories in my home front. I want to radically seize the territory that
you have entrusted to me!
Numbers 33:11 - "The Lord spoke to Moses
face-to-face, as a man speaks to his friend. And he would return to the camp,
but his servant Joshua, the son of Nun, did not depart from the tabernacle."
Joshua became Moses' successor. He was in charge of taking the Children of
Israel into the Promised Land. How was he prepared by the Lord for this mammoth
task? He spent forty years in the secret place - while in the wilderness! When
Moses met the Lord in the Tent of Meeting, Joshua would stay around the tent and
linger in the Presence because he loved the glory. Exodus 33:11b says, "Moses'
young aide, Joshua...did not leave the tent." Numbers 27:18 refers to Joshua as
one, "... in whom the Spirit dwelt."
The Lord made covenant with Joshua and told him, "Everywhere you put the sole of
your foot, I will give it to you. Be strong and of good courage and do not be
afraid, for I am with you all the days of your life. I am going to give you
possession of the land" (Joshua 1:3-4). Then the Lord gave Joshua several
instructions, which among them was the challenge to "determine to earnestly seek
God's presence throughout your life."
God whispered divine war strategies to His intimate friend!
Joshua had to hear God's voice to survive as God's next appointed leader, and he
did not underestimate the power of his prayers. Many of us look at prayer as a
one-way conversation. But, Beloved, prayer is a dialogue in which God wants to
download strategic war plans, blue prints from heaven, and keys to "open doors
that no man can shut and shut doors that no man can open" (Isaiah 22:22). There
is power in your prayers.
The hotter the battle, the greater the need is to stop, wait, and receive
instructions. God wants soldiers whose every move will be an obedient act to
their Commander in Chief. As Oswald Chambers wrote, "Prayer does not fit us for
the greater works; prayer is the greater work."
Prayer: Oh Lord, I know that you are calling me into the secret place.
Teach us the power of prayer! Release a spirit of prayer and intercession so
that we can go to the war rooms in heaven, get divine blue prints, and then win
earthly battles. Teach us how to war in the heavenlies before we even battle
here on earth.

"Intercession
and Divine Encounters"
by Jill Austin
$12.00 2-CD series
Also available on
Audio Cassette |
Changing History Through
Radical Prayer
Outside the palace walls Mordecai stands, a strategic gate-keeper, crying out in
prophetic intercession to stop the demonic decrees to exterminate the entire
Jewish nation. From the inner courts, in her royal robes, Queen Esther summons
her people to fast and pray for a miracle. Two hands join and the destiny of a
nation is changed forever. In this teaching, Jill powerfully and prophetically
preaches on how God is fulfilling the Malachi 4 mandate, bringing two
generations together in radical prophetic intercession to save His people. This
tape will empower you to be one who stands in the counsel of the Lord,
possessing governmental authority in the heavens, to battle both in the courts
of heaven and of men, reversing the decrees of death over your life, your
family, and your nation.
When the Lord Breaks In...
Do you feel unqualified or unworthy for a visitation? Jill's teaching shatters
illusions and misunderstandings by revealing how God visits His people, not
based upon their goodness, but because of His own. She sheds light on the
supernatural by offering live clips from interviews and incredible testimonies
of men and women, much like you, who experienced life-changing visitations. In
this tape, you will journey to the throne room of God, marvel at the four living
creatures, stand in amazing awe of your Maker, and gain greater desperation for
God. A favorite among the Master Potter staff, this album offers two radical
tapes for truly radical believers. Warning to listener: The Lord will break in
suddenly!

"Desperation,
Visitation and the Anointing"
by Jill Austin
$12.00 CD series
Also available on
Audio Cassette |
Are you desperate for a visitation
from the Lord? Have you had radical encounters with Him, only to be confronted
with an onslaught of persecution or misunderstanding? Do you want the anointing
so badly that you are willing to climb the mountain once again for a fresh
visitation and meet the Lord as a friend, face-to-face?
Many years ago, Jill was ministering in the performing arts with a Master Potter
drama called The Empty Cradle, which dealt with the issue of abortion.
During this time she encountered heavy spiritual warfare, leading her to
desperately cry out for a touch from God. As the story unfolds you will gain
confidence that even when heavy opposition comes against you, God will open up
the heavens and deliver you.
Jill had a 21-day visitation after this warfare, which dramatically changed her
personal life and ministry. It was an encounter in which the Holy Spirit
manifested Himself in many different ways. From three in the afternoon until six
in the morning, for three weeks in a row, eternity visited earth in her living
room as she saw visions into God's glory realm. The Lord showed Jill how to move
in the anointing, in a way she had never before experienced, which set a
foundation through prophetic revelation and biblically sound teaching for her
ministry today. Through the impartation of this teaching, you will be inspired
to cry out for a visitation of your own!
