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

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,

Prophetess Karen M. Pina

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,

Prophetess Karen M. Pina

Signs, wonders, miracles

Two times this week alone I’ve encountered several ministers of the gospel who were articulating how they know there is more than what they have been experiencing.  In prayer Yahweh, responded by saying, “It’s building can you sense it?  Can you hear through others who are tired of same ole same ole and who are articulating their hunger for My power, My glory to manifest through them?  He’s aligning His glorious army.  He’s making them ready.  We are starting to groan right along with the rest of creation.  ABBA is saying, Yes!  This is where I long for you be and stay.  Can you hear the groaning and the hunger pangs?  The manifestation of His glory is near . . . on a larger scale, not just a small group of one here or there, but as an entire body of ready-made vessels.  Because not everyone that’s groaning and hungering is going to see His glory manifested through them.  They might see it (and it’s going to be undeniably hard not to), but it won’t be through them.  Are you one in this glorious ready-made army?”

We know that until now, the whole creation has been groaning as with the pains of childbirth; – Romans 8:22 CJB

17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;

18 They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. – Mark 16:17-18 KJV

Strengthened by glory,

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

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,

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.

We’ve (Hashem, Ruach HaKodesh, and Yeshua) spent close to a year mentoring in the glory of God. By now, you should recognize it, be intimately acquainted with it, be living in it, and clearly distinguish the fruit of it. This is so important as you embark on all He’s assigned you’re hands. There is a false glory that exists in the church world and many are afraid to call it what it is. They skate around it, tell others to not judge less they be judged, to love like God, etc. I can fully recognize a false vessel and false glory by their fruit. Check out what they are doing versus what they are saying! Do the two match up . . . is there spiritual agreement? Either it is or it isn’t. The answer is yes or no here, mentee. Stop shrinking back on the belief and teaching you’ve learned here. Elohim (God) is no respecter of persons. Either it is a good tree bringing forth good, holy fruit or it isn’t. Let’s pray:

Father, awaken the spiritual senses of Your mentees and cause them to fully recognize and confront (by the Spirit) the false glory in their midst. We’ve learned that whenever You arise in Your people, the false arises simultaneously. May our spiritual eyes be fully opened so that we will not be seduced, deceived, tripped up, taken off course, or manipulated. Make us strong, set our faces like flint, and keep our feet pointed on the straight and narrow road of true glory. It is through Yeshua’s name we pray and it is so in heaven and on the earth.

¹⁵Beware of false prophets, who come to you dressed as sheep, but inside they are devouring wolves.

¹⁶You will fully recognize them by their fruits. Do people pick grapes from thorns, or figs from thistles?

¹⁷Even so, every healthy (sound) tree bears good fruit [worthy of admiration], but the sickly (decaying, worthless) tree bears bad (worthless) fruit.

¹⁸A good (healthy) tree cannot bear bad (worthless) fruit, nor can a bad (diseased) tree bear excellent fruit [worthy of admiration].

¹⁹Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and cast into the fire.

²⁰Therefore, you will fully know them by their fruits. – Matthew 7:15-20 AMP

And he said to Him, These things, all taken together, I will give You, if You will prostrate Yourself before me and do homage and worship me. – Matthew 4:9 AMP

When most of us hear the phrase down time, we think of a time to wind down, relax, and simply doing nothing.  Well, this is The Making mentoring blog and therefore, this blog is all about making you into a more accurate reflection of His glory. What better way to accomplish than to have some “down time.” The down time He’s speaking of through me has nothing to do with winding down, relaxing, and doing nothing.  The down time He’s requiring of all of us is the time when we fall down on our face before Him to seek Him and to press in for more revelation, sanctification, holiness, wisdom, truth, and love. So many of us have taken Satan up on his “down time offer” because of what he offers us.  When is the last time you took Yahweh up on his offer, worshiped him,  and had some real “down time?”

Come close to God, and he will come close to you. – James 4:8 CJB

He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. – Psalm 91:1 KJV

I see so many ministers revving up to the pinnacle or highest height in the Spirit.  They do this by speaking tongues, shouting, jumping up and down, hooping, quoting scriptures, preaching, etc.  As ministers of the gospel, our relationship with God should be a continuous closeness that enables us to simply start conversing with Him and find ourselves at the highest height in 10 seconds flat.  What’s all the spiritual calisthenics about?  Either you are in a close relationship with Him or you aren’t.

As I often tell you, mentee it ‘s about living in the glory not putting it on, taking it off, or needing to rev up to it.  Now, there’s nothing wrong with any of the things I mentioned at the beginning of this post, if that’s what He’s instructing you to do at that moment.  I do and have them all (except hoop and preach.  There’s no power in this for me.) as He leads.  This is the important lesson I want you to take away today.  We can get to the glory in 10 seconds flat.  We can find ourselves in the Most Holy place in 10 seconds flat by doing what He tells us do, no more, no less.  Everything else is in vain.

Captivated by glory,

Prophetess Karen M. Pina

When you are under the cloud, you only move when He says move.   You don’t make hasty moves when you are under the cloud because you know His protection and power may not follow.  What hasty moves (i.e., financial, ministerial, business, family decisions) are you making?  It’s a dangerous thing to move when the cloud isn’t moving.  It can hurt your life and the life of others.

Mentee, if we are going to live in the glory, we have to learn to move with the cloud, stay under the cloud, and how to cause others to come under the cloud.  I pray that your spiritual senses become heightened to when God wants you to stay, advance, or move forward.  There is a fresh glory under the cloud, and books are birthed; ministries are born; new Kingdom legislation is established.  Many blessings await you, mentee under the cloud.  The blessings of safety, audibly clear communication with God, and divine instructions for those He’s called you to lead are under the cloud.

Captivated by glory,

Prophetess Karen M. Pina

Moses entered into the midst of the cloud and went up the mountain . . . Exodus 24:18 AMP

For the cloud of the LORD was on the tabernacle by day, and fire was in it by night, in the sight of all the house of Israel throughout all their journeys. – Exodus 40:38

The pillar of cloud by day and the pillar of fire by night did not depart from before the people. – Exodus 13:22 AMP

Under the cloud there is:

• Protection
• Provision
• Prosperity
• Health
• Wellness
• Peace
• Prayer
• Obedience
• And so much more . . .

Are you under the cloud?  If you are experiencing these bulleted items, you can answer affirmatively.  Now, I’m not talking about an occasional manifestation of the above (e.g., prosperity).  That which I see is a consistent stream of glory (i.e., a flow if you will).  Well, this is a call to come into that place.  Get under the cloud!  If you need help getting here, reach out to me.

And they will tell it to the inhabitants of this land. They have heard that You, Lord, are in the midst of this people [of Israel], that You, Lord, are seen face to face, and that Your cloud stands over them, and that You go before them in a pillar of cloud by day and in a pillar of fire by night.  - Numbers 14:14 AMP
