Please pray for Jill Austin and the prophetic...

Please pray for Jill Austin!
She is in critical condition because of complications regarding intestinal problems. details can be found at http://www.masterpotter.com/ She is a spiritual mother in the spirit to many and God desires to use her in a very strategic way on the earth in training and mentoring many to hear the voice of the Lord and operate in the anointing of the Spirit.

HUNGER FOR THE PROPHETIC...
At Onething '08 I was part of the prophetic ministry team. We purposely did not emphasize personal prophetic ministry at the conference because the focus was preparing for the ultimate prophetic event: the return of Jesus! However, our "hiding" of this blessing ministry didn't stop people from finding it!

In the midst of ministering encouragement, exhortation, and comfort to people hungry for Jesus, I was watching the lines. Many people were turned away from receiving prophetic ministry because there simply wasn't time to accommodate all the people. At times, there were not enough people on prophetic teams to minister so some of the leaders drew from other IHOP-KC staff who had some prophetic gifting and willingness. We still weren't able minister to everyone who desired it.

I must add that the prophetic ministry teams I am a part of are not "highly skilled and highly anointed". We simply love Jesus with all of our hearts and sometimes hearing or see things from God for other people through a veil. I would guess our skill level is maybe a 2 or 3 on a scale of 1-10...and yet many think that we are always hearing "directly from God".

NEEDED: PROPHETIC LEADERS TO MENTOR THE NEXT GENERATION.
What happens when the prophetic anointing on people goes to a 5 (numerous "scary accurate, specific, detailed prophecy), or a 7 ( when the "scary accurate" prophetic is accompanined by widespread signs and wonders) or even a 10? With a little bit of success in the prophetic ministry comes A LOT of notoriety and pressure from people, demons, systems, and other difficult dynamics. Of the few who consistently moved in "high-end" prophecy almost all have gotten snared by the enemy and "badly injured" in the battle. However, we as the Church will need many more to move in these deeper realms of the Holy Spirit to survive the End-time glory and trouble.

Jill Austin is one who has moved in serious prophetic anointing for decades and has a call to help train many who will practically operate in the prophetic anointing (including miracles) like has not yet been seen in a company of people. It will take the apostolic/prophetic ministry operating in signs and wonders to bring in the harvest.

So what does the enemy do? (We all know now...)

Needless to say, this is potentially involving strategic-level spiritual warfare.
