Jill Austin's Funeral

You may not know Jill Austin. I didn't know her well. I knew who she was. Had met her. She was a prophetess and one the world will miss. She died a few days ago. Her funeral was held in the church connected to the House of Prayer in Kansas City.

I knew many of the people there. Most touching for me was James Goll who's wife passed away September 15th. He was ministering at Jill's funeral. Very moving.

There is little more to say. One of the Prophetic Questions she asked recently was one we need to all ask ourselves as Christians:

Are We Casting a Dangerous Shadow




Acts 5:12 people brought the sick into the streets and laid them on the beds and mats so that at least Peter's shadow might fall on some of them as they passed by. Crowds gathered also from the towns around Jerusalem to bring their sick and those tormented by evil spirits and all of them were healed.

Is your shadow dangerous? In your arena of everyday life, do people get healed and delivered because so much of the resurrection power, the glory of the Lord, radiates through you? Is no one "safe" in your company because the Lord breaks in suddenly with visitations of deliverance, salvation, and healing?

God wants people whose very name is known in hell because they wreak such havoc on Satan's kingdom! We cannot bumble blindly through this world in mediocre lukewarm lethargy! Peter carried so much authority that wherever his shadow fell, people were instantly healed. Would you like to walk in that kind of authority? It wasn't Peter's own power - rather it was the glory of the Lord in Peter. Christ in you is the hope of glory!

When you walk into a restaurant, do you literally change the atmosphere because you carry so much of the fire of God in you? Every place your hands and feet touch should be invaded with the resurrection power of God. The Lord wants you to minister outside the walls of the church in everyday life to a hurt and dying world. Beloved, you are a carrier of His glory. We all need to be walking flames of fire!

Prayer: Oh Lord, I want to cast a dangerous shadow! Teach me to walk as a living flame so that all those around me are ignited with passion for You. So many are suffering today and I just want to let You radiate through me so that all will be saved. Teach me to be a carrier of Your glory.
