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

Beloved mentee,

I’m easing back into the swing of things as I continue seeking His face concerning next steps and direction and today in prayer He spoke this and I knew to share it with you.

As you may or may not know or recall, glory is defined as the character, nature, and power of Yahweh. He’s spent that past two years teaching you, through me, about glory primarily from the aspect of His character and nature because this is the order in which He releases glory to us. So many folks in ministry speak of glory from the power aspect only (i.e., doing the works of Yahushua) and yet fail to speak of the character and nature of Yahushua and Yahweh (i.e., the being like Father and the Son).

Today’s post focuses on the power aspect of His glory and further defines glory based on the Hebrew word kabowd pronounced kä·vōde’. Kabowd means honor, splendor, abundance, dignity, reputation, reverence, riches, magnificence, and precious things. The figurative meaning of this word is heaviness, to be weighty/influential. In light of this, Yahweh is asking, “Are you seeking honor, splendor, abundance, dignity, a reputation, reverence, riches, magnificence, precious things, and to be influential from other people?”

“For we never used flattering speech, as you know, or had greedy motives —God is our witness and we didn’t seek glory from people, either from you or from others.” – 1 Thess 2:5-6 HCSB

We see from the above scripture this is not what we should do. As a ministry leader, those who you have preached the gospel to that have receive it and are imitating you as you imitate Christ are the people who become your glory and joy. Look at this:

“For who is our hope, or joy, or crown of boasting in the presence of our Lord Jesus at His coming? Is it not you? For you are our glory and joy!” – 1 Thess 2:19-20 HCSB

You see, unmade leaders seek glory from men, and made leaders cause others to become glorious, honorable, rich, weighty, prosperous, influential men. Which kind of leader are you . . . made or unmade? If unmade, you can begin the making process by clicking here.

With rich glory,

Prophetess Karen M. Pina

Many of us spend so much time with Yahweh working on us that we never get to the greater works of Christ. The quicker you yield, submit, and obey to the making, the quicker you get to do and be the greater works. Many of us are hesitant, disobedient, and so slow to obey that we spend a lifetime in the making process. Don’t be like the children of Israel wandering 40 years in the same stubborn, hard-headed place. You can move from glory to glory as fast or as slow as you desire based on your level of submission and obedience. Why is it taking so long, you ask? Because you keep doing the same thing I’ve told you to give up, yield, and surrender to Me.

Our prayer: LORD, help me not get in my own way; deliver me from me!

Securely and lavishly,

Prophetess Karen M. Pina

Your people will offer themselves willingly in the day of Your power, in the beauty of holiness and in holy array out of the womb of the morning; to You [will spring forth] Your young men, who are as the dew. – Psalm 110:3

Many of you know I’m called to the office of a prophet and that means different things to different people based on their personal experience with those professing or aspiring towards the office.  Well, the Bible clearly portrays prophets paired with kings (i.e., leaders, rulers).  Some were exceptionally blessed to be assigned to a good king, but most were assigned to wicked kings.  The role of the prophet in either case is to tell them what Yahweh says about their kingdom (e.g., their leadership).  In the latter case, their sayings were unwelcomed judgment of the wicked king’s kingdom.

In prayer yesterday concerning a wicked king I’ve been assigned to in the marketplace, I heard Yahweh say, “Tell them Psalm 109:8-9, 12-18.”  Emotionless, I wrote down verbatim what He instructed me to do from that passage. My flesh started to ask, “When, how, etc.?”  I quickly shifted out of the flesh into His Spirit and said, “Yes, I’m willing!”  The next day in prayer about the situation, I heard Him say, “This is what I’ve been waiting for!”  Immediately, I knew He was referring to an opportunity to manifest His glory through me.  Will you be utterly willing when He calls on you to display His glory?  This is what He’s been waiting for!  I am, and so I step into the true glory of the prophetic office.  How about you . . . have you stepped into the true glory of the office (e.g., pastor, prophet, evangelist, apostle, or teacher) He’s called you into?  This is what I have and He has been waiting for!

With revelatory glory,

Prophetess Karen M. Pina

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,

Prophetess Karen M. Pina

Mentee,

In yesterday’s post, I was led to share an excerpt from The Making and today He has me continuing in this vein.  So here it is:

“Character is leveling for us. Character is to us what the earth is to magnets.  What would happen to magnets if the earth was destroyed?  The earth’s pull would de-magnetize it.  What else could impact the attraction and repulsion of a magnet if the earth no longer exists?  The pull from out space would remain and attract and repel objects.  The same is true for us.  God wants us to remove our earth (i.e., our fleshy, hard and resistant lower nature comprised of our mind, will, intellect) and be attracted to the pull of the supernatural.  The earth is to magnets what character is to glory.  God’s will is already done in heaven.  We are waiting for earth to catch up with it.  I dare say, we are waiting for “our earth” to catch up with heaven.”

There you have it, mentee.  We are not at a lost for leaders. There are a plethora of leaders, but there aren’t a lot of leaders who possess Yahweh’s character.  My prayer is that you are becoming all He wants you to be and allowing Him to make you into the glorious vessel that He intends that you may shine brightly for Him.  Until the next post, let the bright light of His nature pull you into the supernatural.  It’s time to kill our own flesh that He may live through us.

Grace and glory,

Prophetess Karen M. Pina

Mentee,

I’m led by Yahweh to share an excerpt from The Making with you today.

“Character is what grounds you to be able to move in His glory and power. Character becomes like a magnet’s grounding source.  Character grounds you to move in the glory just like a paper clip grounds a magnet. Metal neutralizes a magnet so it won’t charge or blow up what attaches to it.  So it is with character.  You need character so you won’t blow up yourself or become “charged” about you. You need character to neutralize you!”

My prayer is that if you have gleaned anything from this blog it is that character is the key living in Yahweh’s glory.  Stay tuned in right here as I share another excerpt.

True glory,

Prophetess Karen M. Pina

You may or may not be aware that this blog focuses on the glory of Yahweh defined primarily as His character and nature.  Reason being, what good is wisdom, deep revelation, and the ability to expound on heavenlies mysteries and yet possess unGod-like shallow character?  Many of us look to 1 Corinthians 13 as a measuring element of how loving we are and many of us disqualify merely by the bolded portion in the below verse:

It is not conceited (arrogant and inflated with pride); it is not rude (unmannerly) and does not act unbecomingly. Love (God’s love in us) does not insist on its own rights or its own way, for it is not self-seeking; it is not touchy or fretful or resentful; it takes no account of the evil done to it [it pays no attention to a suffered wrong]. – 1 Corinthians 13:5

I’m guilty of seeking my own way with God and others.  Forgive me, oh LORD; wash me.  Help me Ruach Hakodesh (Holy Spirit) to please Yahweh in this way.  We should be seeking Yahweh’s way, not our own way in every situation, interaction, and relationship.  This is the heart of loving glory for others as well as how we demonstrate our loving commitment to deny ourselves, take up our cross, follow Yahshua, and become true disciples and sons.

Grace and glory,

Prophetess Karen M. Pina

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

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,

Prophetess Karen M. Pina

We call a mentoring time out today and focus on those who may have googled a phrase and ended up here and don’t know glory personified in the person of Yahshua (Jesus).  We issue a call to glory today.  You are an eternal being.  Do you know where you’ll spend eternity when you die?  It is appointed to all men to die.  We are all sinners.  Don’t be offended or click away because of that statement.  If you’ve ever told a lie, stole, or cheated, that’s sin.  We all have done these types of things (and in some instances worse).  The good news is that Yahshua died as the perfect sacrifice to atone our sin and redeem us from the curse of death.  There is an eternal separation from Yahweh, the Creator, and that is hell.  Everyone wants to go to heaven when asked, but don’t have a clue how to they are going to arrive there.  I’m giving you the key today.  There is only one way to get there and that is to go through door named Yahshua (Jesus).  There is only way to Father Yahweh (God), and it is through His son, Yahshua (Jesus).

Have you decided to allow Yahshua (Jesus) to remove your sins, reconcile you back to Yahweh (God), and receive the gift of eternal life with Him?  Don’t stop here; I want to pray with you to ensure you have officially met Him!  Reach out to me here.  I long to pray with you.

20 For no person will be justified (made righteous, acquitted, and judged acceptable) in His sight by observing the works prescribed by the Law. For [the real function of] the Law is to make men recognize and be conscious of sin [not mere perception, but an acquaintance with sin which works toward repentance, faith, and holy character].

21 But now the righteousness of God has been revealed independently and altogether apart from the Law, although actually it is attested by the Law and the Prophets,

22 Namely, the righteousness of God which comes by believing with personal trust and confident reliance on Jesus Christ (the Messiah). [And it is meant] for all who believe. For there is no distinction,

23 Since all have sinned and are falling short of the honor and glory [b]which God bestows and receives.

24 [All] are justified and made upright and in right standing with God, freely and gratuitously by His grace (His unmerited favor and mercy), through the redemption which is [provided] in Christ Jesus, - Romans 3:20-24 AMP

For the wages which sin pays is death, but the [bountiful] free gift of God is eternal life through (in union with) Jesus Christ our Lord. – Romans 6:23 AMP

If this confusing to you, read about a man who Yahshua helped what it all means?  I await your call.

Saved by glory,

Prophetess Karen M. Pina
