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

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 seen 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

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?”

Captivated by glory,

Almost 10 years ago when I facilitated a bible study in my home, Elohim spoke prophetically to that small intimate group of desperate, hungry women, and He told us that we would wear His glory like a fur.  We would live in His glory.  We wouldn’t take it off and put it on, but we would wear it like a woman wears a fur coat.  I’m now coming into this prophecy as I can feel (i.e., spiritually discern) a draping, or robing if you will, of His glory on me and upon me.  Only He can cause us to “be” glory and hence wear His glory like a garment.  He promised to put a ring on our finder, robe us, and give us a new name (Isaiah 61, 62:2-3, 66:22, Luke 15:22, Revelation 2:17, 3:12)!

Too many of us focus solely on wearing the armor of Elohim (God).  Yes, we should as we battle the antagonistic enemy of the Spirit called flesh (includes your flesh and the flesh of others).  Yes, we should keep on and never take off the armor of God, but what about your glory clothes . . . are you wearing them?

How many times do we talk about experiencing, seeing, and living in the glory?  Do you really believe He’ll wrap you the glory like a well-worn garment?  He will so that all nations, tribes, and tongues gather to worship and serve Him.  He longs to reveal Himself that all flesh may know that He is LORD.  The glory is going to cover the earth, and you are a part of it.  The glory has come.  Do you really believe?

Well if you do, you’ll see His glory, not because I say so, but because He says so.  Go here to hear it for yourself.

From faith to faith,

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,

I see so many ministers accept ministry engagements to show boat, boast, and parade their “flesh” around.  Truly, they are in it for their glory, but the ADONAI (the LORD) is nowhere in the midst.  I bring a prophetic announcement today:  This should not be your posture, mentee.  Your posture should be, “I thank you, LORD for sending me/us on this ministry assignment.  I thank you that this trip will not be for our glory, but for Your glory and honor.  Use me as your vessel set aside for noble purposes.  Show Yourself, Your power, and Your majesty through me.  Amen.”  Mentee, ministry is not for your glory, it’s for His (Judges 4:9)!

Focused on His glory,

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
