Not Flying Colors, Glory Colors

Karen M. Pina — Thu, 28 Oct 2010 19:00:02 +0000

Like the appearance of the bow that is in the cloud on the day of rain, so was the appearance of the brightness round about. This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the Lord. And when I saw it, I fell upon my face and I heard a voice of One speaking. – Ezekiel 1:28 AMP

As the appearance of the bow that is in the cloud in the day of rain, so [was] the appearance of the brightness round about. This [was] the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the LORD. And when I saw [it], I fell upon my face, and I heard a voice of one that spake. – Ezekiel 1:28 KJV

Recently in prayer regarding trials and tests I’m facing now, and truly, I didn’t know how to pray about the situation at all anymore, so I asked Ruach haKodesh (Holy Spirit) to pray through me and He did. Then I said, “Get me through this test with . . . and the word “victorious” came to mind. Of course, that’s not it; I’m always victorious (He causes me to triumph in Christ Yahshua). So, the next thought came to mind with the words “with flying colors.” Immediately, Ruach haKodesh said, “Not flying colors, but glory colors.” Yes, I exclaimed that’s what I need and want. I want to come through with the rainbow spectrum of your glory shining brightly in, on, and upon me! What test or trial are you facing right now? Ask Ruach haKodesh (Holy Spirit) to help you come through it infused with the colorful nature, power, and character of Yahweh. What colors do you think glory is? He showed me there’s blue for healing in case you get wounded, white for purity, yellow for His wisdom, purple for your royal Sonship nature, black for wholeness/peace, and red for war because the violent take it by force and some blood will be shed.

It’s time to come through whatever we are going through with glory colors!

With colorful glory,

As I sat and looked at The Making book today, the “King” in the title leaped out the page at me and this post was birthed. The King makes us and what He makes us into is permanent and can’t be undone! The King does not have an undo button like Microsoft Word. Once He makes you, you are complete. He does a a complete work; nothing is left undone. He’s the Master Crafter. The Master Potter is he. Just because you have a brief moment when you yield to your emotions it does not mean all the work Father has done in you becomes undone. All you have to do, mentee is ask for forgiveness and shift back into spiritual alignment. The King wants you to stop listening to the voice of the accuser who is attempting to make you believe Yahweh (God) hasn’t done the work in you that you know He’s done.

And I am convinced and sure of this very thing, that He Who began a good work in you will continue until the day of Jesus Christ [right up to the time of His return], developing [that good work] and perfecting and bringing it to full completion in you. – Philippians 1:6 AMP

Therefore He is able also to save to the uttermost (completely, perfectly, finally, and for all time and eternity) those who come to God through Him, since He is always living to make petition to God and intercede with Him and intervene for them. – Hebrews 7:25 AMP

Know (perceive, recognize, and understand with approval) that the Lord is God! It is He Who has made us, not we ourselves [and we are His]! We are His people and the sheep of His pasture. – Psalm 100:3 AMP

With fresh glory,

Don’t Delay me . . . I’ve got a Destination!

Karen M. Pina — Tue, 31 Aug 2010 19:00:25 +0000

And my language and my message were not set forth in persuasive (enticing and plausible) words of wisdom, but they were in demonstration of the [Holy] Spirit and power [^[a proof by the Spirit and power of God, operating on me and stirring in the minds of my hearers the most holy emotions and thus persuading them], – 1 Corinthians 2:4 AMP

Ministers who are hearer but not doers, talkers but not walkers are sent to delay you. Their assignment is to get you a “hoping” and a “wishing” that you’ll get to manifest the glory of Yahweh (God). They lure you in with powerfully perceived “new revelation” and hidden mysteries in the word of Yahweh (God). When you stick around long enough, you’ll surely see that they are empty clouds. Their own lives reflect it. They are in debt and truly they aren’t prepared in the natural to walk in the glory. They have unmade areas in their life that through rebellion and sin have barred the door shut. Said with more clarity, they have shut Yahshua (the Door) out of certain areas of their life by unsurrendering them to Him fully. They play with Him and the spirits and strongholds they erected through their unyieldness are playing with them. They aren’t walking in 1 Corinthians 12:3.

Today, I’m calling you out from among them in to your destination (or destiny as some say). Your destination is to manifest His power in your life. Who is trying to supernaturally delay you? . . . ask ABBA today! Once you have your answer, cut them off because you can’t be delayed. The earth is groaning for the manifestation of the sons of Yahweh. Those assigned your hands are waiting to be set free. Will you prolong or shorten their oppression? That all depends on whether you’ll allow yourself to be delayed or not. For me . . . I can’t be delayed; the glory is waiting. My confession, with action today, is “Don’t delay me . . . I’ve got a destination!”

With true and fruitful glory,

The Qualifications of Sharing in the Glory

Karen M. Pina — Fri, 27 Aug 2010 19:00:02 +0000

1 I WARN and counsel the elders among you (the pastors and spiritual guides of the church) as a fellow elder and as an eyewitness [called to testify] of the sufferings of Christ, as well as a sharer in the glory (the honor and splendor) that is to be revealed (disclosed, unfolded):

2 Tend (nurture, guard, guide, and fold) the flock of God that is [your responsibility], not by coercion or constraint, but willingly; not dishonorably motivated by the advantages and profits [belonging to the office], but eagerly and cheerfully;

3 Not domineering [as arrogant, dictatorial, and overbearing persons] over those in your charge, but being examples (patterns and models of Christian living) to the flock (the congregation). – 1 Peter 5:1-3 AMP

Today’s post is a warning and admonition to shepherds who use their leadership and influence to produce a false glory that benefits and serves them versus producing Godly glory that Is focused on serving, equipping, and building up His people.

Many times we get so fixed on the glory and manifesting His glory right now that we lose sight of the fact that there is a glory yet to be revealed . . . reserved for a later time. We will rule and reign with Him as overcomers. Leaders, we shouldn’t become so blinded by our day-to-day challenges that we forget we are one day closer to judgment day each and every day. If we are to partake of the glory that is to be revealed, we cannot afford to be overtaken by the lusts of the flesh (e.g., hungry for power) and lusts of the eyes (e.g., greedy and craving for material things – all the things we see and believe we want, have to have, and can’t live without).

Pastors, we are servants, slaves of the Most High Yahweh. Be eager to serve and serve humbly and joyously, not with a whip and a stick beating people into total submission to the orders you bark from the pulpit. Adopting the posture and attitude of Christ, (servanthood, humility, obedience to Father) is the only way to share in the glory that is to be revealed. Repent, change your mind about how you’ve been leading, pastor and line up with the way of Christ. I know there are some (a remnant) of pastors who have let the mind of Christ permeate their service. At the same time, there are still far too many that haven’t and this is who Yahweh (God) is calling to attention today through this post.

Sharing in glory,

Prophetess Karen M. Pina

The Glorious Rewarder

Karen M. Pina — Wed, 25 Aug 2010 19:00:42 +0000

Wisdom from the throne . . . “Worldly folk demand and look for respect, but the righteous seek honor from the LORD.”

Mentee, I pray that the training you are receiving is purifying your ministry motives. We must be striped and purged of worldly mindsets in order to be used to our fullest glory capacity in Christ Yahshua (Christ Jesus). I admonish you today to submit to the purging, purifying, and making process that He may bestow more than respect on you. Trust me respect is fleeting, temporal and honor is eternal and everlasting. Yahshua showed us this as they cried Hosanna, Hosanna one minute and the next minute, according to them, He was casting out devils by the prince of devils Beelzebub himself.

LORD, keep your mentees looking, craving, and seeking You the Rewarder who rewards us with eternal merit and virtue.

But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. – Hebrews 11:6

Gloriously,

Are you Submitted to Glory?

Karen M. Pina — Mon, 23 Aug 2010 19:00:30 +0000

I also mentor prophets in an online school. Recently, Yahweh gave them an assignment that uncovered onyx in the realm of the Spirit (e.g., hidden manna). I’m sharing what Ruach haKodesh uncovered because I believe it will minister, mentor, and bless you too. He unveiled that there are people who can, do, and are utterly willing to submit to powerless spiritual oversight (e.g., pastors, prophets, apostles, etc.).

If Yahweh graces and appoints someone He wants me to submit to, the glory will be evident in their life. So when I’m submitted to them, I’m really submitting to the glory, which we know from our earlier mentoring sessions is also Yahshua. Take a look at the leader you are submitted to and ask yourself, “Am I submitted to glory?” Some clear signs are the character of Yahweh, fruit of the Spirit, powerful works (i.e., signs, wonders, miracles, and the ability to delegate authority).

1 AND JESUS summoned to Him His twelve disciples and gave them power and authority over unclean spirits, to drive them out, and to cure all kinds of disease and all kinds of weakness and infirmity.

2 Now these are the names of the twelve apostles (special messengers): first, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James son of Zebedee, and John his brother;

3 Philip and Bartholomew [Nathaniel]; Thomas and Matthew the tax collector; James son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus [Judas, not Iscariot];

4 Simon the Cananaean, and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed Him.

5 Jesus sent out these twelve, charging them, Go nowhere among the Gentiles and do not go into any town of the Samaritans;

6 But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. – Matthew 10:16 AMP

“The sheep must see power in their shepherd or else they will live ordinary lives!” – Apostle Stanley Pina

A Glorious Land

Karen M. Pina — Thu, 19 Aug 2010 19:00:52 +0000

6 On that day I lifted up My hand and swore to them to bring them out of the land of Egypt to a land that I had searched out for them, flowing with milk and honey, [a land] which is an ornament and a glory to all lands.

7 Then said I to them, Let every man cast away the abominable things on which he feasts his eyes, and defile not yourselves with the idols of Egypt; I am the Lord your God.

The land that flows with milk and honey is a land free from defilement and idols.

>>>>– A glorious land honors Yahweh’s (God’s) name
>>>>– A glorious land is an obedient land
>>>>– A glorious land forsakes all other gods
>>>>– A glorious land is a land that is separated and consecrated for Yahweh’s use

A land with these attributes shines brightly with Yahweh’s glory. This used to be true of the USA, but it isn’t anymore. We have turned to the god of sex, religion, fame, perversion, success, etc. Can it be said of you that you are Yahweh’s ornament and a glorious land?

With honorable glory,

Prophetess Karen M. Pina

It’s not about titles, leaders. It’s about power!

Karen M. Pina — Wed, 18 Aug 2010 19:00:17 +0000

I’d rather have secret place promotion any day than public empty promotion. Yes, secret place promotion. Said differently, promotion in prayer, elevation in who you pray for and what Yahweh reveals about them to you, and greater service via intercession. This is the greatest promotion. It’s greater than promotion in title only, but no power. You can do exploits, stop rain, and other supernatural works in prayer. Can your title do that? Can your promotion do that? Id’ rather have a ministry of powerful prayer versus a powerless ministry full of grandiose titles and worldly, materialistic trappings. Today, I stand in my place of power and delegated authority and that place is prayer . . . a prayer room, on the lap and by the side of my Father.

Room (The below is that of which He speaks through me today.)
Strong’s 4725 (a condition of the body or mind, home, country, place, a standing spot, open locality, station, post, a region, a quarter, a direction, a place to exist . . . an abode, habitation)

O earth, cover not my blood, and let my cry have no resting-place [where it will cease being heard]. – Job 16:18

Thank you, Yahweh for this resting place of prayer you’ve given me and thank you that there will be no delay when I cry out in prayer. My prayers come before you immediately. There is no tarrying, no obstructions, and no delay in them reaching your throne room, and You answer and hear me straightaway. My prayer for you is that through this post, ministry motives have been purified and that the heart of ministry has gripped you and caused your eyes to be wide opened to what’s really important and where the true power lies in ministry.

Go to your room, mentee! Yes, today momma is sending you to your room. It’s for your making, transformation, and for those who are assigned your hands. They need you to habitate, linger, and stay in your room.

Resting in glory,

Prophetess Karen M. Pina

Provoking & Defying Glory – Part II

Karen M. Pina — Mon, 16 Aug 2010 19:00:11 +0000

Yesterday we laid the foundation of this lesson by exposing the deeds and actions of professing ministers who deceive themselves and others into believing Yahweh’s glory is with them. The Isaiah passage of scripture tells us that the righteous will eat the fruit of their deeds. The glorious fruit of the righteous can be eaten in its entirety. They become a habitation of His glory. The food and the fruit they dispense fulfill the spiritual hunger of those who are hungering and thirsting after glorious manifestations and results.

The Lord stands up to contend, and stands to judge the peoples and His people. – Isaiah 3:13 AMP

The day where your actions and speech are being judged is here and woe to the wicked for what their hands and mouth have done. Woe to the proud and arrogant who have flaunted their sins before Yahweh’s eyes and provoked His glory. He is standing at attention and every leader that is causing others to err and tripping them up on this path shall behold His glory, but not in the way they tout. For He has entered into glorious judgment with them. Let’s not ever forget the judgment attribute of His glory.

10 Say to the righteous that it shall be well with them, for they shall eat the fruit of their deeds.

11 Woe to the wicked! It shall be ill with them, for what their hands have done shall be done to them. – Isaiah 3:10-11 AMP

With fresh glory on me,

Prophetess Karen M. Pina

Provoking & Defying Glory

Karen M. Pina — Fri, 13 Aug 2010 19:00:55 +0000

⁸For Jerusalem is ruined and Judah is fallen, because their speech and their deeds are against the Lord, to provoke the eyes of His glory and defy His glorious presence.

⁹Their respecting of persons and showing of partiality witnesses against them; they proclaim their sin like Sodom; they do not hide it. Woe to them! For they have brought evil [as a reward upon themselves].

¹⁰Say to the righteous that it shall be well with them, for they shall eat the fruit of their deeds.

¹¹Woe to the wicked! It shall be ill with them, for what their hands have done shall be done to them. - Isaiah 3:8-11 AMP

There are professing ministers of the gospel who deceive themselves and others about Yahweh’s glorious presence abiding and dwelling and moving amongst them. As the scriptures shows their actions (and speech) are against Yahweh. Of course, it’s not the actions and speech that we see that matters, but what Yahweh sees with His eyes, and what He sees them doing and saying is provoking His glory and defying His glory, not reverencing, but irritating His glory. So, then how could His glory be dwelling, abiding, and moving in their midst?

Embracing glory,

Prophetess Karen M. Pina
