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.
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
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
For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this. – Isaiah 9:6-7
Are you getting excited about Christmas? Do you remember when you were little and used to stay up until after midnight just to unwrap one present (or all of them depending on your parents’ consent)? We never forget the excitement of the traditions established in our family. Well, I still have that excitement at 40 something. Yes, I do, but it’s a more mature Christ-like version. Let me share my newfound tradition with you. I still stay up late. Truth be told, I can’t wait until midnight, but here’s the thing. I stay up so I can be the first one to enter my prayer closet to say, “Happy Birthday Yahushua!” What I love about this God inspired tradition is that He always awaits me with the best spiritual gifts I could ever imagine. He lavishes me with wisdom, revelation, love, and a fresh blast of Holy Spirit power. What old tradition do you need to infuse His glory into that it might become a newfound Spirit breathed mature Christ-like tradition?
But he said, “Yea rather, blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it.”And when the people were gathered thick together, he began to say, “This is an evil generation: they seek a sign; and there shall no sign be given it, but the sign of Jonas the prophet.” – Luke 11:28-30
There is no way to explore the glory of Elohim (God) without focusing on Jesus, who is the very revelation of God’s glory to us. I hear so many people talk about miracles and forget that Yahushua’s (Jesus’) birth alone is a miracle. I see so many run here and there seeking miracles, signs, and wonders. How about just seeking Yahushua (Jesus), the miracle Himself? Yahushua (Jesus) didn’t just perform miracles as some like to teach and preach. He is a miracle.
So I encourage you if you want to walk in miracles and see the miracle working power released in your life, just praise the miracle Himself. Praise Yahushua (Jesus) now and tap into the very miracles you need and desire. Don’t be selfish in this. When you are praising Him for these miracles, be sure it’s for the needs that are on God’s heart, not yours (Isaiah 58:1-8, Luke 4:18).
Six days before the Passover, Jesus arrived at Bethany, where Lazarus lived, whom Jesus had raised from the dead. Here a dinner was given in Jesus’ honor. Martha served, while Lazarus was among those reclining at the table with him. Then Mary took about a pint[a] of pure nard, an expensive perfume; she poured it on Jesus’ feet and wiped his feet with her hair. And the house was filled with the fragrance of the perfume. But one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, who was later to betray him, objected,” Why wasn’t this perfume sold and the money given to the poor? It was worth a year’s wages.” He did not say this because he cared about the poor but because he was a thief; as keeper of the money bag, he used to help himself to what was put into it. “Leave her alone,” Jesus replied. It was intended that she should save this perfume for the day of my burial.” – John 12:1-7
John 12 (Complete Jewish Bible)
1 Six days before Pesach, Yeshua came to Beit-Anyah, where El`azar lived, the man Yeshua had raised from the dead; 2 so they gave a dinner there in his honor. Marta served the meal, and El`azar was among those at the table with him. 3 Miryam took a whole pint of pure oil of spikenard, which is very expensive, poured it on Yeshua’s feet and wiped his feet with her hair, so that the house was filled with the fragrance of the perfume. 4 But one of the talmidim, Y’hudah from K’riot, the one who was about to betray him, said, 5 “This perfume is worth a year’s wages! Why wasn’t it sold and the money given to the poor?” 6 Now he said this not out of concern for the poor, but because he was a thief — he was in charge of the common purse and used to steal from it. 7 Yeshua said, “Leave her alone! She kept this for the day of my burial.”
Yahushua (Jesus) was anointed to die on the cross! Anoint me Hashem (Father) to die, bear, and carry my cross. Anoint me to pick up my cross, deny myself, and follow you. Anoint me!
I know you are the Anointed One, but you were especially anointed for that momentous cross experience. You were anointed to die. This is what I need in my life. We seek the anointing for all kind of reasons. We pray, “Anoint me to sing, dance, prophesy, write, and even cook.” How about asking for the anointing to die? How many ministers do you know that can pray this type of anointing prayer?
There is a preparation process that goes into dying. Can’t you see Mary preparing Jesus to go to the cross (e.g. his death and burial). The first step in the process is cleansing. So ask Holy Spirit to search you, reveal sin, and then ask for forgiveness. Now you are ready to be taken to the cross. So the next step is to ask Holy Spirit to reveal areas that still need to be crucified within you. The third step is to go to the garden . . . alone. Here is where you get the strength to do His will and bear your cross, bear the ridicule, beatings, name calling, rejection, and mockery of your office with your mouth completely shut.
Lead me to the cross, God. I’ll follow . . . lead me.
מיהו המלך של גלורי? לורד של Hosts הוא המלך של גלורי.
The LORD of hosts, he is the King of glory. Selah. – Psalm 24:10 KJV
Yahweh controls how, who, and when the glory is dispensed. The King of Glory is a person. Who is He? Yahweh, which is His personal holy name, The Existent One. This reveals to us that He wants us to be personal with His glory. He wants us to know His glory personally. I can prove it. He sent us His Son – His King of Glory who has the same desire as His Father (to intimately and personally acquaint us with Himself, and then His son Yahushua gave us the Ruach haKodesh. The Ruach haKodesh (Holy Spirit) aim is to cause us to know the mind and will of the Father also.
There are so many ministers hungry for glory, respect, worship, dignity, and reverence. The sad thing about this is the King of Glory has already given those things to those who have and maintain clean hands and a pure heart.
Come back and read part II tomorrow and discover God’s heart and mind in order to manifest His glory to you.
Yesterday, I challenged you to thank God for the areas of your life where His glory can be seen. I thank Him for them as well. Now, today take a look at where He can’t be seen as readily and then surrender those areas to Him and ask Him to fill them up with His glory. Now, thank Him for doing it. Thank you Yahushua (Jesus) for shining brightly through every area of my life.
And when ye will offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving unto the LORD, offer it at your own will. – Leviticus 22:29
To the end that my glory may sing praise to thee, and not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give thanks unto thee forever. – Psalm 30:12
For the LORD shall comfort Zion: he will comfort all her waste places; and he will make her wilderness like Eden, and her desert like the garden of the LORD; joy and gladness shall be found therein, thanksgiving, and the voice of melody. – Isaiah 51:3
Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place – 2 Corinthians 2:14
Knowing that he which raised up the Lord Jesus shall raise up us also by Jesus, and shall present us with you. For all things are for your sakes, that the abundant grace might through the thanksgiving of many redound to the glory of God. For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day. – 2 Corinthians 4:14-16
I’m writing today to challenge you to be specifically thankful. I am. I’m thankful for God’s Glory being infused into every area of my life. You may not be where He desires you to be right now as it concerns manifesting His glory, but how about thanking Him for the areas His character, nature, and power can be seen in your life?
Start today thanking Him in advance for He is Faithful who called you and began a good work that He will complete. Thank Him for completely manifesting His glory.
Yesterday, we briefly explored what we look like when there is too much of us remaining. When this is true of us, there is a duality to our nature (e.g., we display part of Jesus’ face and part of our face).
Let’s expand this duality concept. When I speak of part Yahushua’s (Jesus’) face, part your face, I don’t mean Yahushua (Jesus) is visible on one side and your face is visible on the other. I mean one face with shadows, shades, and nuances of Yahushua (Jesus), but the dominant image is you. It’s the one I can see the clearest. I can’t clearly make out His face.
And Jesus answered them, saying, “The hour is come, that the Son of man should be glorified. Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit. He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal.” – John 12:23-25 KJV
I’m looking for Yahushua (Jesus), mentee, and so is Elohim (God) and others. This is what we need to see that we may be changed by the Anointed One. You know how two people that are married for a long time start to look alike? That is what should be taking place spiritually. No matter how long or short of a period of time you’ve been walking with Him, ultimately you should start to look like Him. This looking like Him I speak of is reflective, yes, in what you do and say, but most importantly a real transformation has actually taken place. Look at how Paul expressed it.
“I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.” – Galatians 2:20
Religious folk know how to perform. So you’ll see their Yahushua (Jesus) face. In other words, they do and say all the right things at the right time to convince and deceive others into believing Christ has been formed in them. Note: I said they know how to perform, and that’s exactly what it is . . . a performance. Elohim (God) isn’t looking for us to pretend it’s Him; He’s looking for it to really BE Him.
I guarantee, you couldn’t fool the devil or a demon. They know when it’s you showing up versus when Yahushua (Jesus) shows up, and they are subjected to His commands. You know it’s you when demons run buck wild in your life, but you are quoting every scripture you can think of, rebuking the devil, preaching, prophesying, etc.
I can’t see His face! No, I can’t make out His face!
“For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.” – 1 Corinthians 13:12
