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
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.
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!
Yeshua is the glory of the Father, and He’s our Glory. He is the Word too, and he will expose you. Now before you pullout your soulish barriers, let me reveal what He showed me. This is between you and Him, not you and me or some other leader. I’m not getting ready to prophetically expose someone right here on this blog. Well, maybe I will. Seriously, back to the unfolding. Have you ever read the word and every verse in the chapter you were lacking and deficient in possessing the very character and essence of it? What you just experienced is being exposed by the Glory. All you can do when this happens is say, “I’m guilty.” and pray, “I’m convicted, Lord . . . bring me the increase in this area(s). I want to walk in the fruit of this entire chapter.” When is the last time you were exposed by and surrendered to the Glory, the Word, Himself?
All Scripture is God-breathed and is valuable for teaching the truth, convicting of sin, correcting faults and training in right living; – 2 Timothy 3:16 CJB
“Isn’t my word like fire,” asks ADONAI, “like a hammer shattering rocks? – Jeremiah 23:29 CJB
My brothers, practice the faith of our Lord Yeshua, the glorious Messiah, without showing favoritism. – James 2:1 CJB
Amongst ministers I have found we treat those who have certain positions and are associated with certain “big names” with favoritism. Mentee, I’ve seen many ministers run to serve their favorites without hesitation. In the process of running to serve the “big names” they trample over those who they perceive to be “being processed,” “on the back burner,” “not in active ministry yet,” etc. This is not the way of Yeshua (Jesus).
If you show more respect to the man wearing the fancy clothes and say to him, “Have this good seat here,” while to the poor man you say, “You, stand over there,” or, “Sit down on the floor by my feet,” – James 2:3 CJB
Your motives for having favorites might be rooted in what they can do for you, the material things they can give you, and the platform you believe they can help you build or climb. Yeshua (Jesus) desires that the lowly and poor become rich in the Kingdom, and He wants to use the gifts within you to bring it to pass. Favoritism is a sin and demonstrates one who is not practicing the faith of the glorious Mashiyach (Messiah).
14 What good is it, my brothers, if someone claims to have faith but has no actions to prove it? Is such “faith” able to save him? 15 Suppose a brother or sister is without clothes and daily food, 16 and someone says to him, “Shalom! Keep warm and eat hearty!” without giving him what he needs, what good does it do? 17 Thus, faith by itself, unaccompanied by actions, is dead. 18 But someone will say that you have faith and I have actions. Show me this faith of yours without the actions, and I will show you my faith by my actions! – James 2:14-18 CJB
My prayer for you today, mentee is that the grace of Elohim (God) is extended to you enabling you to be a doer of the word and not a hearer only. I pray that your faith is realized in glorious actions not empty dead words. I pray that ABBA purify your motives for connecting with others and for serving others. I pray the eyes of your understanding be completely opened to the fact that He is the one who elevates, raises, and provides for the ministry He’s entrusted to you. I pray for ABBA to strengthen you and help you resist the temptation and seduction of others in ministry who have been ensnared by the sin of favoritism. It is through Yeshua’s name I pray.
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
For our light, momentary affliction (this slight distress of the passing hour) is ever more and more abundantly preparing and producing and achieving for us an everlasting weight of glory [beyond all measure, excessively surpassing all comparisons and all calculations, a vast and transcendent glory and blessedness never to cease!], – 2 Corinthians 4:17 AMP
Yeshua (Jesus) never said our walk toward glory would be easy. As a matter of fact, He told us we would have tribulation in this world. Our tribulations and afflictions can feel like they will never pass, but look at what the scripture above tells us. It‘s just a passing slight distress. We have the Comforter, our Standby, who helps us to please the Father and who leads us into all truth, residing on the inside. Therefore, ask Him to help you move from the place where your afflictions seem longer and heavier than they actually are. One way I know to do this is to focus in on what the affliction is producing. We are afflicted so the weight of God’s glory can rest on us, and the beautiful thing about it is He is preparing us to dwell in His transcendent glory forever. So the next time you are distressed let ABBA, Father, speak to your heart and tell you, “It’s a light affliction, baby!”
All Your works shall praise You, O Lord, and Your loving ones shall bless You [affectionately and gratefully shall Your saints confess and praise You]! They shall speak of the glory of Your kingdom and talk of Your power, To make known to the sons of men God’s mighty deeds and the glorious majesty of His kingdom. Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and Your dominion endures throughout all generations. – Psalm 145:10-13
I woke up this morning with the words “Envelope me in Your Glory” ringing ever so gently in my ear. These words were a supplication, a prayerful request. So, let’s go together to the throne of grace and obtain the favor we need in the form of Him enveloping us in His glory.
LORD the cares of life and the world weigh so heavy on us sometime, and we run to so many other things for relief. We run to food, friends, entertainment, and even Christian fellowship. What we really need is to be enveloped in Your character, nature, and power. So, today we come asking for what we need. In accordance with Your word, we ask for Your strength, power, wisdom, revelation, truth, hope, love, might, a fervent prayer life, and joy. Manifest Your Glory to me and through me that the sons of men might see Your Majesty. It is through Yeshua’s (Jesus’) name we do pray. Amen, let it be so!
Enter into the rock and hide yourself in the dust from before the terror of the Lord and from the glory of His majesty. – Isaiah 2:10 AMP
As I’ve often said and repeat it here, “There is way too much flesh around these parts!” If you are still living in, embracing, and entertaining your flesh and others, then this is a prophetic warning to you. Enter the rock which is Yeshua (Jesus) and hide your flesh (it should not be seen). At this point in your walk, you should fear Adonai (the LORD). His majesty and glory is about to cover the earth in a way we’ve not seen in quite a while, and if you are still in your flesh, you better hide. That’s right, as His prophet, I warn you to hide from the glory and enter the Rock.
