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,

Prophetess Karen M. Pina

Did Yahweh Lay His Hands on you?

Karen M. Pina — Fri, 20 Aug 2010 19:00:32 +0000

16 And the LORD said unto Moses, Gather unto me seventy men of the elders of Israel, whom thou knowest to be the elders of the people, and officers over them; and bring them unto the tabernacle of the congregation, that they may stand there with thee.

17 And I will come down and talk with thee there: and I will take of the spirit which is upon thee, and will put it upon them; and they shall bear the burden of the people with thee, that thou bear it not thyself alone.

The Hebrew word for the bolded phrase in the above scripture is suwm (pronounced sum and is Strong’s 7760). This word means to make, make for, transform into, fashion, work, bring to pass, appoint, give, to set, ordain, and to establish. As ministers, we get so caught up in being ordained, established, and mentored by man, but miss the fact that there are still some folks Yahweh raises up, makes, transforms, and establishes all by Himself . . . by His Hands. Did He or someone else lay their hands on you? Neither of these is bad and is not greater than the other. There are some people who He personally delegates authority and power so they in turn can delegate and impart to others, like Moses in this passage of scripture. Then there are those men and women who He works through to lay hands, fashion, make, transform to His image like me, Apostle Paul and Yahshua. The important thing is that He’s laid or is laying His hands on you. Is He . . . has He?

Honorable glory,

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 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,

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,

Secure Glory

Karen M. Pina — Wed, 11 Aug 2010 19:00:49 +0000

Elohim (God) is so secure in who He is that He is allowing Satan to do what he does (steal, kill, and destroy) until His appointed time to live eternally in the lake of fire. In this we see and identify another making mark for us, and the mark is security. Here is how He worked this facet of His glory in me.

As you know, I’m His prophet and He tells me to do and say things to others. He prompts me to pray for others and He leads me to write prayers and send them to others. Well, I’m sure you can imagine that everybody isn’t jumping up and down, grateful, or receptive to the things He has me share. For a season, this caused me to really doubt I was hearing from Him, and Satan played with me mentally by contesting the words of God flowing through me. He did this for many years, and finally God did a couple of things with and through me that brought me great freedom and security. The first is that what He said came to pass swiftly. This reassured me, “Yes, Karen you heard Me and now you see Me!” The second is through this my faith began to increase and my relationship with Him deepened. Third as our relationship deepened, the concern for others receptivity (i.e., I receive that or I don’t receive this), acknowledgment of the word, and even a response that they received the word (e.g., the word physically or electronically reached them) began to dissipate. He began to minister to me about how He healed 10 lepers and only one came back grateful, receptive, and appreciative. So if this is true of Yeshua, who is always our example, then it will be true of me.

Over time I began to see and experience secure glory in me. Knowing that He is pleased with my obedience and responds to it became more important than man’s response or lack thereof. Has the mark of secure glory been formed in your as it was in Yeshua and me? It can . . . let’s pray.

Elohim (God) bring me to the place that I’m 100% free from man’s response no matter how they respond (e.g., positively, negatively, neutrally, or at all). Increase my relationship with You so much so that I can feel, discern, and revel in how pleased you are by my unmovable faith and obedience. Set me free and birth security in me.

For those who have come into a measure of secure glory, I pray He will increase your steadfastness and devotion to Him, and as He does so, I pray that you find yourself in the next level of secure glory that you need at this time in your life and ministry. He’s doing it now . . . secure glory, secure glory is the portion of those who have been set free and advanced today through the ministry of this post.

I will say of the Lord, He is my Refuge and my Fortress, my God; on Him I lean and rely, and in Him I [confidently] trust! – Psalm 91:2 AMP

For additional support and ministry on this topic: See Psalm 122:7, Isaiah 54:17, 2 Corinthians 1:22

Embracing secure glory,

Prophetess Karen M. Pina

Release the Worry, Embrace the Glory

Karen M. Pina — Tue, 10 Aug 2010 19:00:46 +0000

When you are actively involved in ministry, there is always something to do and I do mean always. You have to constantly resist the temptation to become so busy that you are no longer ministering to Elohim (God) in prayer, communion, fellowship, and worship. The other temptation that you must resist is the temptation to worry that everything that needs to get done won’t get done. This is a trick of the enemy to keep you caught up toiling, spinning, running, and wishing for more time. Do you know how much precious God given energy you waste worrying about not having enough time to complete God’s work. If it’s His work, He knows how much time you need to get it done. And if you didn’t have such time, He wouldn’t have charged you to do it. So today, release the worry and embrace the glory. If the release was successful, lightness should be present in your midst right now, not only that, but propelling you forward with new strength and a new resolve to rest in Him versus strive to get things done on human terms. His glory is here to aid and assist us in completing the work He’s assigned our hands. Stop fighting and warring against it and embrace it wholeheartedly. Repeat after Holy Spirit through me, “I rest in the fact there is enough time for me to do everything You’ve called me to do.”

31 Therefore do not worry and be anxious, saying, What are we going to have to eat? or, What are we going to have to drink? or, What are we going to have to wear?

32 For the Gentiles (heathen) wish for and crave and diligently seek all these things, and your heavenly Father knows well that you need them all.

33 But seek aim at and strive after) first of all His kingdom and His righteousness His way of doing and being right), and then all these things taken together will be given you besides.

34 So do not worry or be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will have worries and anxieties of its own. Sufficient for each day is its own trouble. – Matthew 6:31-34 AMP

Embracing glory,

Prophetess Karen M. Pina

Forgiving Glory

Karen M. Pina — Mon, 09 Aug 2010 19:00:02 +0000

I have never see 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

False Glory – Part II

Karen M. Pina — Fri, 06 Aug 2010 19:00:02 +0000

We continue to pull back the covers on false glory. Have you read or listened to something a minister wrote or spoke and immediately afterward or during the message/writing you start feeling like, “Are they talking about me?” or you think, “Hmm . . . that feels like a dig aimed t me to kick me down a couple of notches in my Godly confidence.” If so, what you are discerning (perhaps unknowingly) is a characteristic of false glory. This characteristic can be found in the below scripture:

We have renounced disgraceful ways (secret thoughts, feelings, desires and underhandedness, the methods and arts that men hide through shame); we refuse to deal craftily (to practice trickery and cunning) or to adulterate or handle dishonestly the Word of God, but we state the truth openly (clearly and candidly). And so we commend ourselves in the sight and presence of God to every man’s conscience. – 2 Corinthians 4:2 AMP

When you handle the Word of God deceitfully or craftily, the Word is mixed with an ulterior motive, another agenda, manipulation, witchcraft (defined as an attempt to bend or twist the will of another via cunning mental stratagem). You see, truth is coming forth as it’s the Word which is true glory, but the spirit behind the Word is false glory. It’s the antithesis of John 4:24; worship in Spirit and Truth. Our spirit must be pure, holy as His Word emanates from us or else all we are releasing is a false glory that entangles others in more bondage versus set them free. I pray this characteristic of false glory be far from you, mentee as you go forth to do His work. I also pray that this post exercised your spiritual senses (e.g., discernment – Hebrews 5:14) even the more as we must start calling false glory, false glory and not backing up off or down to what we are seeing and discerning.

Responding to true glory,

Prophetess Karen M. Pina

P.S. – Another classic example of this is using the pulpit to address something that should have Matthew 18:15-17 applied to the matter.
