What do you care about?

Karen M. Pina — Mon, 28 Feb 2011 20:15:00 +0000

We spend so much time focusing on who overlooked us, slighted us, trampled on and over us, and failed to acknowledge us. Honestly, this kind of stuff would send my world spinning for days and even weeks years ago. I couldn’t fathom how professing Christians could treat Yahshua’s five-fold gifts this way. Well, truly He’s done a work in me. I still see this behavior, but as soon as the paralyzing thoughts attempt to get me in a tail spin of emotions, I cast them out and gird myself up with this question. What do you care about? My answer today and forevermore is His glory and His power. I care about pursuing and manifesting His character, power, and nature, and that’s all! We must stay in this place mentally and spiritually as ministers so those He’s assigned our hands can go free. So He asks you through me today, what do you care about? Your thoughts and actions will reveal the answer to this question.

Strength for your journey in this area:

Glorious New Tongues

Karen M. Pina — Thu, 24 Feb 2011 20:00:50 +0000

Are you stuck on the “b’s” of tongues? You know, the bo, bo, bo! How about being stuck on the “h’s” of tongues? You know, the he, ka, he, he, he! Perhaps you are stuck on the “m’s” of tongues? You know, the ma, ma, ma! What about the rest of the alphabet . . . the d’s, q’s, etc.? Yahshua said, “And these signs shall follow them that believe; in my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues.” When is the last time your tongues became new?

In The Making, we identify clear manifestations of Yahweh’s glory. Tongues is one of those manifestations. How many of us realize this, embrace this, or are even thankful for it? Truly, it is the power of Yahweh to be able to communicate directly Spirit to Spirit and bypass our flesh altogether. Truly, it is the power of Yahweh to immediately bring the understanding of what was prayed. Truly, it is the power of Yahweh to be infused with strength from within when we speak in tongues. I do pray that you are fully exercising and utilizing this glorious gift He’s given to us. If not and you want to, reach out to me. All believers can receive the heavenly benefits of the baptism of Ruach Kodesh.

If you are praying and speaking in tongues, I implore you to seek Him for newness in your gift that you may experience the new tongues (and hence power) He longs to give you.

With full and complete glory,

Prophetess Karen M. Pina

This is what I’ve been waiting for!

Karen M. Pina — Fri, 29 Oct 2010 19:00:38 +0000

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

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,

Character is the Key – Part II

Karen M. Pina — Thu, 16 Sep 2010 19:00:31 +0000

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

Character is the Key

Karen M. Pina — Wed, 15 Sep 2010 19:00:53 +0000

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

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,

Prophetess Karen M. Pina
