The Making Ministry Blog (2 Corinthians 3:18 AMP)

There have been so many things happening as I’ve pressed further in to the secret place in my prayer time. This is where I am finding myself:

37 As He was approaching [the city], at the descent of the Mount of Olives, the whole crowd of the disciples began to rejoice and to praise God [extolling Him exultantly and] loudly for all the mighty miracles and works of power that they had witnessed,

38 Crying, Blessed (celebrated with praises) is the King Who comes in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven [freedom there from all the distresses that are experienced as the result of sin] and glory (majesty and splendor) in the highest [heaven]! – Luke 19:37-38 AMP

I’ve been extolling Him loudly; I’ve been crying; I’ve been brought to my knees to worship; I am overwhelmed by the glory and by the King of Glory. Whoever said, “quiet” is the only way missed this scripture and this one:

He replied, I tell you that if these keep silent, the very stones will cry out. – Luke 19:40 – AMP

I issue a spiritual dare to you:

* Increase time dwelling in the secret place

* Get specific about the stubborn things in your life, ministry, and the life of others. Allow Holy Spirit to direct you to the scriptures to stand in for those “hard” issues. Here’s one to start you off with: Alas, Lord God! Behold, You have made the heavens and the earth by Your great power and by Your outstretched arm! There is nothing too hard or too wonderful for You. – Jeremiah 32:17 KJV

* When you see Him beginning to move miraculously do a Luke 19:37-39, and I decree the glory of Elohim will overtake you and overwhelm you.

I am overwhelmed by glory!

Captivated by glory,

The reason why many  ministers will never live in the glory or even create a habitation for the Most High Elohim (God) is because they are unwilling to walk in strict obedience.  We must strictly and unhesitantly obey all that God commands in order to create a place where His glory abides.  So don’t be fooled by those who say, “His glory abides here” or “it abides over there,” but when you look at their lives, you see all kinds of sin and disobedience.

I highly doubt the rigidly righteous God, who created us to obey Him as the King of Glory that He is, is abiding there.  We are funny people!  We want what God possesses and who He is, but we don’t want want to obey Him (i.e., do what it takes) to receive it.  Then, we start making up stuff, fabricating things, and eventually deceiving ourselves and others into believing that we are obeying and that He is dwelling with us.  I come today to tell you if you are not walking in strict obedience, The King of glory shall not come in.  I don’t care how much you lift up you head (and hands), quote Psalm 24:7-10, and dance around. 

If you hopped over Psalm 24:3-5 have not lifted up you life as a holy sacrifice, The King of Glory is not coming

Captivated by glory,

When you are under the cloud, you only move when He says move.   You don’t make hasty moves when you are under the cloud because you know His protection and power may not follow.  What hasty moves (i.e., financial, ministerial, business, family decisions) are you making?  It’s a dangerous thing to move when the cloud isn’t moving.  It can hurt your life and the life of others.

Mentee, if we are going to live in the glory, we have to learn to move with the cloud, stay under the cloud, and how to cause others to come under the cloud.  I pray that your spiritual senses become heightened to when God wants you to stay, advance, or move forward.  There is a fresh glory under the cloud, and books are birthed; ministries are born; new Kingdom legislation is established.  Many blessings await you, mentee under the cloud.  The blessings of safety, audibly clear communication with God, and divine instructions for those He’s called you to lead are under the cloud.

Captivated by glory,

Prophetess Karen M. Pina

Moses entered into the midst of the cloud and went up the mountain . . . Exodus 24:18 AMP

For the cloud of the LORD was on the tabernacle by day, and fire was in it by night, in the sight of all the house of Israel throughout all their journeys. – Exodus 40:38

The pillar of cloud by day and the pillar of fire by night did not depart from before the people. – Exodus 13:22 AMP

Under the cloud there is:

• Protection
• Provision
• Prosperity
• Health
• Wellness
• Peace
• Prayer
• Obedience
• And so much more . . .

Are you under the cloud?  If you are experiencing these bulleted items, you can answer affirmatively.  Now, I’m not talking about an occasional manifestation of the above (e.g., prosperity).  That which I see is a consistent stream of glory (i.e., a flow if you will).  Well, this is a call to come into that place.  Get under the cloud!  If you need help getting here, reach out to me.

And they will tell it to the inhabitants of this land. They have heard that You, Lord, are in the midst of this people [of Israel], that You, Lord, are seen face to face, and that Your cloud stands over them, and that You go before them in a pillar of cloud by day and in a pillar of fire by night.  - Numbers 14:14 AMP

So all of us, with faces unveiled, see as in a mirror the glory of the Lord; and we are being changed into his very image, from one degree of glory to the next, by ADONAI the Spirit.” – 2 Corinthians 3:18 CJB

In yesterday’s post, I mentored you to take a look at the things you’ve haven’t obeyed to get clear about what’s stopping you from ascending into the glory.  We must come closer to His glory each and every day by coming closer to Him.  Our obedience is like a diving board or a springboard into the rivers of glory.  The more we obey, the deeper, higher, and wider we go in Him.  It’s time to ascend . . . daily.  We can go from glory to glory daily.  There is nothing stopping us except us!  It’s a conscious choice to allow Him to work both the will and the do in us.  Your obedience to God makes you unstoppable, impenetrable, and Satan proof.  No enemy can reach you when you live a life of one obedient act to the next.  The way the enemy trips us up, without even trying, is through our disobedience.  He knows the power of rebelling and disobeying firsthand.  He knows the road it leads us to, and therefore, he can put His feet upon the table, drink lemonade, and watch us like a good movie that He already knows the ending to.

On the other hand, when we consistently we obey, we release the power, glory, resources, and 100% complete backing of all of heaven and the heavenly hosts.  Now, what foe can withstand this?  No one foe can.  Isn’t that what the word tells us?  Stop thinking something outside of you is stopping you and start looking at how time and time again stop gaps are being set up in the realm of the spirit through your very own disobedience.  An obedient minister of God is a glorious minister of God.  Your steps of obedience are interconnected.  You see, when God tells you to do a thing it is connected to other things unfolding and manifesting in your life and ministry.  If you fail to take the first step of obedience, you miss out on all the steps that are connected to where God desires to bring you.  What I’m teaching you, mentee is that disobedience has a rippling effect and by the way so does disobedience.  I charge you and admonish you to obey and ascend.  Let’s pray:

Lord, thank you for making me 100% obedient 100% of the time through these posts on ascending that I may set the work you’ve assigned my hands on a path of ascending into your glory.  I am an obedient servant of the Most High Elohim (God).  It is through Yeshua’s name we pray.  Amen.

From faith to faith,

Prophetess Karen M. Pina

“So all of us, with faces unveiled, see as in a mirror the glory of the Lord; and we are being changed into his very image, from one degree of glory to the next, by ADONAI the Spirit.” – 2 Corinthians 3:18 CJB

Mentee, there is only one way to ascend into the glory of God and that’s to obey. It’s your obedience and my obedience that cause us to ascend into glorious places that God desires to take us. So if it looks like things are stagnant, ask what am I not obeying, God? When He gives you the answer, do it. It’s so easy to make excuses over time for why we either can’t, don’t, or just won’t do what He commanded us to do. We say things like, “He knows where I am right now” and “He sees everything I’m going through.” While this is true, it doesn’t make you or I exempt from our obedience to the things He’s told us to do.  Are you ascending or descending? Always check your obedience levels for the answer. Today, I am ascending.

From faith to faith,

Prophetess Karen M. Pina

It never ceases to amaze me how those who are being “made” can’t sit still.  Their calendar is full with this that and the other.  Sadly, many of it is ministry related and they haven’t even been made into His image yet!  We must cooperate with the process of His making us into all He intends.  To do this requires we sit still and allow Him to hide us in the cleft of the Rock.  It requires us to come off this board, auxiliary, committee, and perhaps even decrease the number of nights we attend church.  Yes, I said it.  When you are being made, you are likened to a tender shoot and even a mild wind can blow you off the path.  This is why you find yourself hurt so much and offended by this and that.  You haven’t been made yet.  It’s time to be still and know He’s God and allow Him to mentor you.  Are you willing to submit to the process?  If so, then here’s the perfect prayer to pray:

Lord, hide me until the appointed time for it is Your glory to conceal a thing until the right moment (Proverbs 25:2).

Responding to His glory on me,

There are a bazillion phobias in the world today, and sadly, Christians have become phobia-manias like everyone else because we aren’t walking in pure love with ABBA.  We talk a good game about how we believe He will prosper us.  Many of us will tell you in a heartbeat that Elohim (God) has called me to be a millionaire or a billionaire.  At the same time, we are afraid of riches and all that comes with them.  Here’s your prescription today:

Declare this:  “I will not be afraid when riches come and when the glory of God increases in my church, home, or ministry.”  This declaration is His word, which is quick, active, alive, and powerful.  So, what’s to fear?

From to faith to faith,

Wait before you answer this question, I want you to think about where and how you spend your time.  This is the only way to answer this question.  We know Yeshua (Jesus) rebuke the Pharisees all the time for being quick to confidently answer the question He probed them with.  In other words, He knows how easy it is for us to be “religious by giving the answer we think He and others want to hear.”  With that being said, “You probably answered the question like this, “Jesus,” and you did so because you thought that was the expected answer.  Well, I will release the scripture now to show you the answer He requires, not expects:

Lord, I love the habitation of Your house, and the place where Your glory dwells. – Psalm 26:8 AMP

Let’s pray:

ADONAI (Lord) deliver us from the spirit of religion and deliver us from lip service. We thank you for your deliverance and ask you to birth in us a love for Your house . . . the place where your glory dwells more than anything else.  We thank you that we will know that you have done this by our insatiable desire to spend more and more time where Your glory dwells.  We know this is not a “church building” of which you speak, but a habitation we have created for You in us.  Thank you, thank you for a pure love and pure appetite to spend our time where Your glory dwells.  Amen

Written with fresh glory on me,

Prophetess Karen M. Pina

Are you seeing the glory every morning?  I am!  I look so forward to rising each and every day to see Him and hear what He wants to unveil and reveal to me.  I pray that you are receiving all the glory He desires to dispense daily by speaking less and listening more.  There are so many Christians who can’t quiet their thoughts, feelings, and dreams (e.g, their flesh) long enough to receive His mind, feelings, heart, and desire towards others situation and their own.  All the time they spend with ABBA is spent whining, complaining, and “a hoping and a wishing.”  There is a time for all this.  At the same time, this is should not be your modus operandi and the norm.   When is the last time you came into His presence and asked, “What do you want to talk about today?”  Even better when is the last time you just sat in His presence to simply “be” with Him, not talking or asking for anything?  How about this:  When is the last time you spent an entire 10 minutes focusing on who He re-created you to be (e.g., your position in Christ Yeshua)?  If you can’t recall, you are missing out on seeing and experiencing His glory in the morning.

I challenge you and I admonish you to get over yourself and your stuff so you can receive His riches (e.g., His stuff).  The purpose of this post is to cause you to really look at what you are calling “communion with Him.”  Priceless glory, splendor, majesty, and spiritual riches await you in the morning (Exodus 16:7). . .

From glory to glory,

Prophetess Karen M. Pina
