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

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

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,

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

My glory and honor are fresh in me [being constantly renewed], and my bow gains [ever] new strength in my hand. – Job 29:20 AMP

What is fresh glory and what does it look like?  You can recognize glory in, on, and upon you when the strength to offer up high praises in a way that the two-edged sword, which is your mouth executes vengeance on the heathen and punishment on the people.  This is radical praise; this isn’t the same ole stale hallelujah offered from week to week and month to month in the lives of many ministers.  No, this is the type of glorious praise that binds kings with chains and the so-called “noble” with fetters of iron and stops every plan, plot, and snare in advance.  This is fresh glory!  Fresh glory is victorious; it’s the type of glory that causes Elohim (God) to rebuke kings for your sake.  It’s the time of glory that turns the counsel of the ungodly to be of no effect.  You better get you some; some what?  Some fresh glory!  Go here (Psalm 33:10-11, Psalm 149:-6-9, and 1 Chronicles 16:21).

Written with fresh glory on me,

Prophetess Karen M. Pina

And the LORD spake unto Aaron, “Thou shalt have no inheritance in their land, neither shalt thou have any part among them: I am thy part and thine inheritance among the children of Israel.”– Numbers 18:20 KJV

ADONAI said to Aharon, “You are not to have any inheritance or portion in their land; I am your portion and inheritance among the people of Isra’el.” – Numbers 18:20 CJB

If you’re allowing Holy Spirit to mentor you via this blog, you know the pursuit of glory is about manifesting God’s character in every area of your life (i.e., ministry, business home, job, etc.)  This is a process which The Making outlines in greater detail.  You don’t get here overnight.  Many of us start out believing in our inheritance as it relates to the glory and midway through the perfecting part, we start getting anxious.  We start thinking or asking, “Where’s my inheritance?”  We start looking for prophecies relating to our glorious inheritance to come to pass.  I’m here today to tell you what God told me the holdup is.  When you are mature, your inheritance will be released.  When you are ready (e.g., fully mature) with Christ fully formed, developed, and  seen, He’ll release the intended glory, miracles, signs, wonders, etc.

If a natural parent does not give their children access to their inheritance until the right age, what makes us think God is going to release ours any soon than the fullness of time?  Keep your focus on the perfecting process and before you know it, your inheritance will manifest!

From glory to glory,

Prophetess Karen M. Pina

Mentee, if you’ve been in ministry for any length of time, you’ve seen much sin, wickedness, and things that will make your stomach and head turn.  We need our Father to endure in the Spirit.  We need something imparted directly from Him that no counseling session, talking about it with your best friend or spouse can give.  Sadly, many of us don’t know what it is that we need.  I’ll make it personal today.  I didn’t know what I needed.  I have been crying out to God about all the sin that dwells in those who He’s assigned to my life in this season.  I want to make sure you don’t tune me out right now by saying, “Who does this self-righteous woman think she is?”  ABBA will show you things about others to pray for them. At the same time, the evil, sin, and heinous ways we encounter as we stand in the gap for others are more than our flesh can bear.  Notice, He said through me “ . . . more than our flesh can bear.”  This clues us into the fact that by His Spirit we can bear all He chooses to show us about others.  How?  By appropriating this scripture:

“You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness. Therefore, O God, your God has anointed you with the oil of joy in preference to your companions” – Hebrews 1:9 CJB

The one this scripture is referencing is Yeshua (Jesus).  Let’s bring it home, now.  The Yeshua (Jesus) within hates wickedness and loves righteousness and this is why you ache the way you do as you see what He chooses to reveal to you about the sin that dwells in others.  The key here in terms of being free and not allowing the sin that lives in others to ensnare you and cause you to miss the Promise Land is to ask Him to anoint you with the oil of joy!  I don’t know about you, but when the eyes of my understanding became enlightened, the scales fell off my spiritual eyes, and I began to see, I really began to see.  There was no turning back, and honestly, what I saw disturbed me greatly.

I’ve found myself low, sad, and woe is me on many occasions.  The freedom I find lies in this scripture.  I need the oil of His joy in order to persevere with the right heart and attitude.  I need the oil of joy to pass His test, and you need the oil of joy too.  You see, mentee it’s really not about the sin that is dwelling in those you or I are assigned to.  It’s all about how we handle, deal and cope with the sin as He reveals it to us.  So I thank Him for His oil of joy for it is the strength both you and I need to continue to love righteousness, hate wickedness and sin, and not be overcome by anything but His love, grace, and mercy for us and others.

I want to leave you with one more thing, and it is this:  Don’t forget to release and send the angels of the Most High Elohim (God) to assist in delivering those who have sin dwelling in their members.  Don’t attempt to do what He’s called you to do in the flesh.  He provided supernatural aid and resources because we need them.  I admonish you to use them by appropriating the below scripture on the behalf of those assigned to you:

“Aren’t they all merely spirits who serve, sent out to help those whom God will deliver?” – Hebrews 1:14 CJB

7 Therefore, what are we to say? That the Torah is sinful? Heaven forbid! Rather, the function of the Torah was that without it, I would not have known what sin is. For example, I would not have become conscious of what greed is if the Torah had not said, “Thou shalt not covet.”

8 But sin, seizing the opportunity afforded by the commandment, worked in me all kinds of evil desires – for apart from Torah, sin is dead.

9 I was once alive outside the framework of Torah. But when the commandment really encountered me, sin sprang to life,

10 and I died. The commandment that was intended to bring me life was found to be bringing me death!

11 For sin, seizing the opportunity afforded by the commandment, deceived me; and through the commandment, sin killed me.

12 So the Torah is holy; that is, the commandment is holy, just and good.

13 Then did something good become for me the source of death? Heaven forbid! Rather, it was sin working death in me through something good, so that sin might be clearly exposed as sin, so that sin through the commandment might come to be experienced as sinful beyond measure.

14 For we know that the Torah is of the Spirit; but as for me, I am bound to the old nature, sold to sin as a slave.

15 I don’t understand my own behavior – I don’t do what I want to do; instead, I do the very thing I hate!

16 Now if I am doing what I don’t want to do, I am agreeing that the Torah is good.

17 But now it is no longer “the real me” doing it, but the sin housed inside me.

18 For I know that there is nothing good housed inside me – that is, inside my old nature. I can want what is good, but I can’t do it!

19 For I don’t do the good I want; instead, the evil that I don’t want is what I do!

20 But if I am doing what “the real me” doesn’t want, it is no longer “the real me” doing it but the sin housed inside me.

21 So I find it to be the rule, a kind of perverse “torah,” that although I want to do what is good, evil is right there with me!

22 For in my inner self I completely agree with God’s Torah;

23 but in my various parts, I see a different “torah,” one that battles with the Torah in my mind and makes me a prisoner of sin’s “torah,” which is operating in my various parts.

24 What a miserable creature I am! Who will rescue me from this body bound for death?

25 Thanks be to God [, he will]! – through Yeshua the Messiah, our Lord! To sum up: with my mind, I am a slave of God’s Torah; but with my old nature, I am a slave of sin’s “Torah.” – Romans 7:7-25 CJB

Many of us are acquainted with Apostle Paul’s flesh struggle in Romans 7.  This is the chapter right before he broke out in Chapter 8 and said, “Now, there is therefore no condemnation to those who walk after the Spirit and not after the flesh!” Many ministers have selectively used these two chapters as justification to keep doing what they are doing and give God what they want to give and not what He is asking for and requiring of them.  I know, I know . . . every time I head down this direction, people will rise up and say, “Judge not or you shall be judged.”  I am judged by the word of God just like you, and the word says, “Teachers shall be judged more harshly and held at a higher standard.”  What makes us think we can teach and preach this word and continue to justify our sinful actions?

When you lie down, you shall not be afraid; yes, you shall lie down, and your sleep shall be sweet. – Proverbs 3:24 AMP

For a dream comes with much business and painful effort, and a fool’s voice with many words. – Eccl 5:3 AMP

We spent the last several days focusing on entering rest by casting all of our cares, anxieties, fears, and worries upon Adonai (the LORD) so we can enter into His carefree glory and glorious rest.  Today, we (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit) mentor you in the area of your sleep.

I’ve seen a connection between where our focus lies throughout the day and what type of sleep we get throughout the night.  Whatever you spend your days worrying about will determine what type of sleep you get as well as how long you sleep, if at all.  It also impacts if you dream and what you’re dreaming at night.  How many times do you dream about the last thing that was on your mind right before you drifted off to sleep?  Mentees, the things that keep you awake or that enter your mind when you first wake up reveal the heart of your cares and anxieties, as well as establish whether your sleep is a sweet, glorious rest.

I challenge you to get still right before going to sleep.  Spend 10 minutes focusing on who Elohim (God) is, what He’s promised, and pray that your mind be renewed to His word prior to going to sleep.  Checking your e-mail or social networking activity may not be the wisest thing to place in your spirit prior to going to bed.  Use wisdom and discretion here.  You should also avoid interacting with people who sow discord, strife, are malicious, and keep stuff going all the time.  These folks thrive off being their flesh.  I must remind you that are flesh is our enemy.  The last encounter of the day should be with Ruach haKodesh (Set Apart Holy Spirit), not flesh!

My prayer for you is that from this post forward as you apply what your being mentored in here that you go to sleep with a renewed mind, full of His Spirit, and ready to receive divine manifestations (e.g., visions, dreams, go on trips—translations) that are produced by setting an atmosphere for sweet, glorious sleep.

Responding to His glory,

“Casting the whole of your care [all your anxieties, all your worries, all your concerns, once and for all] on Him, for He cares for you affectionately and cares about you watchfully.” – 1 Peter 5:7 AMP

Mentee, I want you take this scripture literally today.  I mean literally.  Let me illustrate.

1) Write your cares, concerns, worries, and anxieties down on separate pieces of paper
2) Ball each paper up
3) Now release them

You can release them a couple of ways:

1 ) Throw them away (e.g., in the garbage)
2) Throw them up to Him (e.g., the heavenlies) for Him to catch and deal with them and burn them

Whichever way you choose, while releasing them to our God ask Him to take you away with Him as you release them.  In essence, you are making a glorious exchange. You are exchanging your earthly concerns unto heaven.   You’ll know when you’ve been successful in a full release because your perspective will be a carefree spiritual one versus a bogged-down soulish one.

My beloved speaks and says to me, “Rise up, my love, my fair one, and come away.” – SOS 2:10 AMP

That’s Carefree Glory!  So many ministers are weighed down with the cares of this world, the cares of providing and being in ministry at the same time, the cares of their family, so forth and so on.  How can you be free to explore the glory carrying all this?  What spiritual exploration can you go on if He wanted to take you?  He’s calling you to come up and away.  Step one is come up!  The cares you are holding onto are low level living.  Step into the abundant (a full and overflowing life) life.  Let it take you away with Him into His carefree glory!

Now if you completed this exercise, I have a song that ministers to me every time a thought come across my mind that would cause me to pick it up again and start worrying.  Here it is!

Captivated by His glory,

Prophetess Karen M. Pina

In The Making Chapter 6, you’ll learn about the process God takes His ministers through in order for His glory to shew forth in their finances.  He’ll challenge you with generosity.  How generous are you to others in ministry . . . even when they don’t support a thing He’s called you to do?  You give and give and know they either can’t or won’t give anything in return.  As a matter of fact when His glory has been infused into you in this area, you aren’t even looking for or expecting them to give anything in return.  A glorious vessel who has allowed God to make them financially is debt free, money has no hold on them, they know the earth is the LORD’s and the fullness thereof and that everything including money belongs to Him.  They have long since stopped looking to others to finance and support the work He’s assigned their hands and they are looking to Him and Him only.  They know no man holds all that they need to fund the colossal vision God has given them. They aren’t financially despondent.  No, they are hopeful and faithful.  They know in the fullness of time, He is going to provide everything they need through whoever and whatever God deems appropriate. A made vessel is financially free and His glory rests upon their finances supernaturally providing, sustaining, and maintaining the work of their hands.

“And he shall be like a tree firmly planted [and tended] by the streams of water, ready to bring forth its fruit in its season; its leaf also shall not fade or wither; and everything he does shall prosper [and come to maturity].” – Psalm 1:3 AMP

They young lion do lack and suffer hunger, but not glorious leaders (Psalm 34:10)!
