He has set eternity in our hearts.

I have been meditating on Revelation 21 and Hebrews 11. My soul is longing...
That is a longing in my heart that continues to tell me that I'm not made for this place. I'm not made for this realm. There is a constant aching in me that is saying that I'm made for something more, made for something supernatural. Surely there is something more.

God has set eternity in our hearts (Ecclesiastes 3:11). Our hearts long for what is eternal. There is another age coming, there is a city whose builder and maker is God (Hebrews 11:10).

There is a city where the streets are like pure gold, where there is a beautiful river of water of life. No moon or sun is needed there for the Glory of God illuminates everything.The Lamb is its light.. In that day we will communion with Him face to face and justice and righteousness will endure for all of eternity. How I long for my home...
I love you Jesus with all of my heart, mind, soul and strength.

A PROPHET OF THE PEOPLE...

Jill Austin went to be with her Beloved Jesus in heaven at 7:48pm Pacific Time today, 1/9/09.

Below was written by a friend Sarah Yang as a tribute to Jill Austin... Jill you will be greatly missed by many...


A Seed Falling To The Ground...

I had the privilege of spending the final week of Jill's life on earth with her. I am so grateful that God divinely orchestrated such precious time with my spiritual mama though we both didn't know it at the time.

We had many meals together, shared lots of smiles and stories, but more importantly shared with such vibrancy our hopes and dreams for seeing the arts and creativity once again restored to our Beloved Creator.

I shared with her a dream I had a couple months ago that got her excited about doing dramas again. In the dream, Jill was just getting off a plane in California from Kansas City. As she arrived, she handed me a flyer with characters such as Cinderella, Snow White, and Sleeping Beauty all over it. She wanted to put on a conference where each of these stories would be told prophetically to the church through drama, film, music, and the arts. It was to call the Bride of Christ to come out of bondage into our rightful place as His royal sons and daughters through creativity.

I think that is why it's been so difficult to let her go. I've had to wrestle with the thought that her destiny was somehow aborted. But I was reminded of the Scripture:
I tell you the truth, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds. (John 12:24)
As she poured out her heart and vision for the arts to be restored this final week, she was surrounded by young people. She would share stories of her "Empty Cradle" drama about abortion that used to be seen by 8000 people in one weekend during the 70's and 80's. Jill would tell us that people would flood and weep in the altars during her performances because the heart of God was so vividly displayed.

We couldn't keep our mouths shut as she spoke as we were filled with excitement, screaming, "YES, THIS IS WHAT WE BURN FOR. THIS IS WHAT WE WANT TO DO. YOU'RE PUTTING LANGUAGE TO OUR DREAMS!!!! DRAMA, ART, MUSICALS, FILMS, TV, DANCES, SONGS THAT DISPLAY GOD'S HEART." Her dreams came alive within us as she spoke and we left every meal with a passionate resolve in our hearts that said, "Let's do this!"

I believe that her destiny is far from being aborted but is now being handed over to a generation to be multiplied as we honor this steadfast forerunner.

A Prophet of the People

Another moment that lives on in my memories of Jill happened just a few days ago on January 2nd, 2009. Jill and I were having dinner at Higher Grounds Cafe when a young man out of nowhere bowed down to introduce himself to Jill. He raved at how much she has blessed him and his friend through her ministry.

Jill was clearly embarrassed by his gushing remarks but she continued to ask his name, where he's from, and genuinely took interest in getting to know him and his friend. We even rode over to the Luke 18 Conference with them.

When I asked her about that whole experience and if it's hard to stay humble, she said, "Going through everyday life keeps you humble." She later whispered in my ear during worship, "You know how Princess Diana was known as the people's princess, I want to be known as a prophet of the people. I want to be with the people."

I believe that desire came to pass in such an unexpected way just a few days later. As she fought for her life, literally thousands in the body of Christ throughout the world stopped what they were doing to intercede and cry out on her behalf. People were glued to their iPhones and laptops, awaiting news of their beloved Jill. Day and night, their hearts went out to her, full of love towards a woman who they encountered once in their lives but it changed them forever.

Although the loss of Jill is sudden and tragic, I believe it happened the way she would've wanted it to be... dramatic. In her finale, she once again gripped the hearts of the people, made us weep, and ultimately led us to gaze upon the one that she loves, Jesus Christ, who's arms she rests in both now and forevermore.

Take a bow, Jill, from the balcony of heaven, and know you've moved us once again with a story about you and your beloved Master Potter.

We want wish you a blessed and happy 2009!!!

Much love

REPORT FROM BRAZIL

November, 2009

Again we come with incredible gratitude in our hears for all that God is doing in the great nation of Brazil. It seems that every time we go, we encounter different obstacles, but they only serve to increase the testimony of “overcoming” that Jesus empowers His Church to make – because of the power of His blood (Rev. 12:11).

We landed in Sao Paulo, where we had opportunity to visit the slum school project that has just begun. Our vision from the beginning has been national transformation through prayer and fasting. We fundamentally believe that from the place of prayer, God will give His heart for the nations. There will be a natural progression from spiritual intercession (prayer and fasting) to natural intercession (standing in the gap for the poor and the lost). When God’s tabernacle is established, it will affect the nation. As my husband likes to say, “Where God lands, He expands” :)


We went to Heliopolis (one of the largest slum in Latin America which has a population of about 120.000) to meet Pastor Dirceu and the kids he is working with there. Kelry Green has been working with Linda Bernardes to build high quality schools for the kids in the slums. They currently have 150 kids enrolled in school, and the number is rising all the time.




On the weekend, they had a big party for the Heliopolis kids and over 100 children accepted Christ.


Pastor Dirceu recounted the history of the work in Heliopolis, which began with a vision and donations from Heidi Baker. He told us that the king of the drug trafficking ring also helped him find land in the slum. At that point, I felt the Lord prompt me to ask Pastor Dirceu if we could go meet this man. We knew he was dangerous, because the police are not even allowed in this slum. There is no law and order except what he allows. Pastor Dirceu agreed to take us to his house. As we entered, 2 of his 11 wives were in the kitchen.

We introduced ourselves to the drug lord, thanked him for helping find land for Pastor Dirceu to feed the kids, and asked if we could pray for him. He seemed shocked at our boldness and disarmed by our friendliness, so he said okay. I asked if I could lay hands on him, and I knelt down and began to pray a prophetic prayer over him. The presence of the Lord came right in that drug lord’s house. By the time we left, there was a real heart connection and his wives served us coffee and gave us warm embraces and big smiles.

THE SOLEMN ASSEMBLY:

The next day we went to Curitiba, Brazil for a Solemn Assembly – a day of prayer and fasting, based on Joel 2:12-17. Black storm clouds threatened to destroy the outdoor prayer meeting. The newspapers and the radio and television stations were forecasting rain all day, but we prayed the prayer of Elijah (James 5:17), and the Lord supernaturally held back the rain. The only time it rained was at the high point of the whole day.




This was when a major Brazilian leader, Rene Terra Nova, who is the leader of a movement which has grown to 7 million people in 7 years, led in repentance to all of the other pastors of the city and nation. One cannot underscore the significance of a leader of this magnitude coming to repent for his part in bringing division to the Church in Brazil. When Rene Terra Nova finished preaching on unity and repenting for division, the other pastors gathered around him and took oil and basins and washed his feet. It was so beautiful. The presence of God descended, the rain fell for about 20 minutes solid, and the tears of God’s joy at the unity of His Body washed away division at that moment.


Corey Russell and Allen Hood came from Kansas City to bring impartation for the House of Prayer. While there Allen had a powerful dream about God giving a KEY to the Jacob generation (Psalm 24:6), and the morning after he had the dream, Corey Russell woke up and found a key inside of his shoe! They both are looking forward to coming back with us next year and release the vision for the house of prayer to thousands of leaders in the nation.
God is moving in a powerful way and incredible doors are being opened. We feel so honored to be part of what He is doing and to see the beginning stages of a national transformation. Thank you all for your prayers.

Bless you,

Stacey Campbell

THECALL CURITIBA

misty's song...

We say to the One who was slain,
"You have proven Your love,
And You have shown us, shown us
That You can be trusted."

So take the scroll and open
And open, and open the seals
We trust You, Jesus
And we want you to come back
So take the scroll and open the seals
So take the scroll and open the seals

I can hear the rhythm
of the Lion of the tribe of Judah

He's doing a new thing
So we're singing a new song

He's not a baby in a manger anymore
He's not a broken man on a cross
He didn't stay in the grave
And He's not staying in heaven forever!
