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

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

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,

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

I have never seen such an unforgiving people as those in the professing church.  They hold grudges and keep detailed accounts and records of all the wrong done to them in ministry.  I know you’ve seen this too.  Talk about false glory, huh?  Where is the forgiving glory spoken of in Matthew 18:23-35?

We are to freely forgive our brothers and sisters from our heart when they sin against us. I need to make two clarifying points here.  The first is this:  Your sisters and brothers are defined as those who do the will of Your Father.  Don’t get mad at me, I’m telling you what Yeshua said.  The second is this.  The scripture in Matthew 18 didn’t say forgive your brother if they ask for it from the heart with great sincerity, repentance, and with tears in their eyes.  No, the scripture doesn’t put all those vain glorious conditions on the truth of forgiving glory.  Do you want Elohim (God) to remove your sins as far as the east is from the west and cast them into the sea of forgetfulness never to remembered anymore or do you want Him to torture you by keeping records, files, and detailed accounts of your wrongs?  Of course you don’t. Then don’t do it to others!  Who do you need to forgive today and who needs your forgiveness?  You see, forgiving glory is a two-fold glory.  When you forgive, your spirit and the spirit of the other person is set free to flow in true glory.  I pray Ruach haKodesh (Holy Spirit) has brought before you the person(s) that you need to forgive and that needs your forgiveness.  If so, okay now, let’s pray immediately:

ABBA Father, I lift up the situation with the person(s) that Holy Spirit brought to my remembrance as I read this post and I pray that Your forgiving glory will flow through me like a mighty river of fire and water.  Cleansing me from all the thoughts I have toward them and that they may toward me.  I thank you for this river of fire and water that is running over us and between us right now in the realm of the Spirit washing us from all unforgiveness, bitterness, seeds of discord, jealousy, envy, hatred, manipulation, agendas, game playing, and every work of the flesh that should not be named once amongst us.   I thank You that the current of this powerful river has propelled us into the place where we are now free to flow in the truth of Your glory.  We thank You that the accounts, records, and files have been moved by the current of this river as far as the east is from the west never to be remembered anymore by either of us or by You.

We ask you to forgive us, oh Lord for dwelling in the place of unforgiveness as long as we did and for your grace and mercy that did not spit us out of your mouth and wash us ashore.  Thank You, thank You.  Thank You that there is no more hurt and pain that comes up or when we think of them.  We thank you that there are no more word curses in our mouth concerning them.   The work You’ve done is thorough, and we receive your forgiving glory.  Help us to live this way each and every day of our lives being quick to forgive and slow to anger and offense like You. Thank You for Your cleanliness, holiness, and forgiveness and righteousness.

Responding to forgiving glory,

Prophetess Karen M. Pina

Come close to God, and he will come close to you. – James 4:8 CJB

He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. – Psalm 91:1 KJV

I see so many ministers revving up to the pinnacle or highest height in the Spirit.  They do this by speaking tongues, shouting, jumping up and down, hooping, quoting scriptures, preaching, etc.  As ministers of the gospel, our relationship with God should be a continuous closeness that enables us to simply start conversing with Him and find ourselves at the highest height in 10 seconds flat.  What’s all the spiritual calisthenics about?  Either you are in a close relationship with Him or you aren’t.

As I often tell you, mentee it ‘s about living in the glory not putting it on, taking it off, or needing to rev up to it.  Now, there’s nothing wrong with any of the things I mentioned at the beginning of this post, if that’s what He’s instructing you to do at that moment.  I do and have them all (except hoop and preach.  There’s no power in this for me.) as He leads.  This is the important lesson I want you to take away today.  We can get to the glory in 10 seconds flat.  We can find ourselves in the Most Holy place in 10 seconds flat by doing what He tells us do, no more, no less.  Everything else is in vain.

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 and have not lifted up your life as a holy sacrifice, The King of Glory is not coming.

Captivated by glory,

Prophetess Karen M. Pina

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

Welcome back!  By now you know we should go beyond a “glow,” into a terrible brilliance.  So, today we explore what terrible and holy glory looks like on us.  My body is separated for your service LORD so I make glorious choices in determining what I eat (1 Corinthians 10:31).  My eyes are consecrated for your service, LORD so I watch what I set before them (Psalm 101:3).  My mind is made up and set apart for your service, LORD so I renew it daily with Your word (Psalm 26).  My heart is for You and Your service and I will connect it to those who have Your eternal life flowing from their heart (Proverbs 4:23).

I could go on and on as these are just some of the things He requires of me in each area of my temple.  How about you . . . what is He requiring of your body, eyes, mind, and heart?  This is what you must identify and get clear about in order to lay hold of the prize called holy glory.  If you aren’t specifically clear, it sounds like you’ve got a homework assignment, mentee.  One resource I know will jumpstart this is to pick up The Making if you haven’t already.  If you have, ask Him to lead you to the exact area that needs clarifying by directing you to the specific page(s) or chapter(s) in the book.  In closing, holy glory is terrible brilliance.

Scriptures to meditate upon that can user you to Holy Glory:  Ecclesiastes 8:12-13, Deuteronomy 7:21, Exodus 14:31, Leviticus 19:14, 32, 25:17, Proverbs 3:7, Psalm 27:1, 66:3,5, Isaiah 60:5

From glory to glory,

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

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 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

I see so many of ministers of the gospel struggle in their situations (i.e., whatever the situation might be).  I watch as they as solicit the prayers of “the righteous,” talk about it, and sow seed on top of and all around it.  Well, there is an easier way in accordance with His word that tells us His yoke is easy.  Why do we burden ourselves instead of making a divine exchange?  Here’s how it might look and play out:

Get still, and say, “Lord, show me Your glory in this situation (Exodus 33:18)”.  Don’t you know, child of God that you can be freed up quicker by the revealing of His glory?  His glory leads you to the truth, wisdom, peace and so much more concerning the situation.  So the next time you find yourself “in a situation,” don’t fret, worry, strive, or attempt to figure it out in the flesh, simply ask Him to show you His glory in the situation.

Written with fresh glory on me,

Prophetess Karen M. Pina
