This is the Hour

Jill Austin: "A Holy Invitation in This Hour"
[from ElijahList.com]


Haggai 2:7, "'I will shake all nations, and the desired of all nations will come, and I will fill this house with glory,' says the LORD Almighty."


How Do We Prepare?

What must we do in this hour to prepare? How do you practically prepare for the end-time calamities prophesied in the Bible?

There is a holy invitation over this hour - a hand-designed, God-authored, initiated and written invitation to respond rightly to His desire to accelerate the work that He is doing in this hour.

The Church has had 2,000 years of teaching, and yet the Bride still has not made herself ready. What must we do in this hour to see the Joel 2 latter-day outpouring and the release of the sevenfold Spirit of Isaiah 11?

We do not need more information but impartation, because extreme times call for extreme measures. We are living in momentous days as God is preparing the earth for a mighty visitation of His presence and His power. This new season will be marked by shakings in the political, economical, and natural arenas.

With the world theater teetering on the brink of World War III, God doesn't want to merely shake external infrastructures (Haggai 2), but God wants to shake you to bring about the fullness of your destiny.

Today the Lord is releasing the Isaiah sevenfold Spirit in Isaiah 11:2, "The Spirit of the Lord shall rest upon Him, the Spirit of wisdom and understanding, the Spirit of counsel and might, the Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord."

This Spirit will empower you to be a history maker. But we have to cry out to the Lord for an empowering of this Spirit so that we can be like that temple in Haggai 2 - filled with His glory!

If we will make His Presence our passion and purpose in our hearts to be ready, we can stand steadfast and unshaken even in the midst of end-time tribulations. The Lord is opening supernatural treasure and provision from Heaven, based upon the choices that His people are making. Activate your will now to align with God's!

The cry of our heart has to be for God's Kingdom to come and His will to be done in earth as it is in Heaven. Then when the nations rage, evil world rulers plot in vain, and people are confused at world events, we can stand confident and calm, knowing who our God is!

Prayer: God, I want to be a history maker! Shake everything that can be shaken in me. I don't want a religious routine, I rather want the high adventures of being a radical forerunner who will gladly give up all for You. Fill me with Your glory to touch this world for Jesus!

Revival

2 Chronicles 16:9, "For the eyes of the LORD range throughout the earth to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to Him."

Revival is not born out of mass movements but out of a series of solitary decisions. Over the last several years, I have traveled to more churches and nations than I can count. Many have gathered together and called others to pray, fast and walk in unity.

First, the meetings are packed by the mounting momentum of trying out new ideas. Then, slowly, the meetings dwindle down; one or two intercessors are the sole watchmen left on the wall. The faithful few glumly look around at the empty rows of chairs.

We get discouraged when we don't see others manifesting the same enthusiasm for revival that we have. We worry, "How can our city be transformed unless the pastor of that major church is involved and all the meetings are filled?" But I tell you, beloved, God is not focused on the empty chairs!

Rather, He is focused on the chairs that are filled! You are there. He has drawn you there. He is going to begin His work with you. Revival starts today. Revival starts with you.

He has hand-chosen you, before the foundations of the world, to embark on a journey into the fullness of your destiny. Do you want to be His voice rather than man's echo?

If so, will you return to Him as your first love? Remember, God must first set our hearts ablaze with radical passion for Jesus. Intimacy is what ignites revolution.

Is the presence of the living God fully taking up residence in your heart? If that has not happened, then why are you expecting that to happen in some kind of public meeting? Revival starts with you! Personal transformation must precede city transformation. Let a revolution begin today - and may it begin with you!

Prayer: Oh Lord, I ask that You would radically revolutionize me. Cause revival to burn so deeply in my heart that others can't help but be changed! Oh Lord, You are truly all I want! I love You and I want to know You more.

Tenderize my heart again. I want to return to You as my first love. Where my heart has drifted and gotten lukewarm, return me back to You. God, I give You permission to do whatever it takes to make me wholly Yours. Set me on fire.
