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.
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).
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)!
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!
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
When you lie down, you shall not be afraid; yes, you shall lie down, and your sleep shall be sweet. – Proverbs 3:24 AMP
For a dream comes with much business and painful effort, and a fool’s voice with many words. – Eccl 5:3 AMP
We spent the last several days focusing on entering rest by casting all of our cares, anxieties, fears, and worries upon Adonai (the LORD) so we can enter into His carefree glory and glorious rest. Today, we (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit) mentor you in the area of your sleep.
I’ve seen a connection between where our focus lies throughout the day and what type of sleep we get throughout the night. Whatever you spend your days worrying about will determine what type of sleep you get as well as how long you sleep, if at all. It also impacts if you dream and what you’re dreaming at night. How many times do you dream about the last thing that was on your mind right before you drifted off to sleep? Mentees, the things that keep you awake or that enter your mind when you first wake up reveal the heart of your cares and anxieties, as well as establish whether your sleep is a sweet, glorious rest.
I challenge you to get still right before going to sleep. Spend 10 minutes focusing on who Elohim (God) is, what He’s promised, and pray that your mind be renewed to His word prior to going to sleep. Checking your e-mail or social networking activity may not be the wisest thing to place in your spirit prior to going to bed. Use wisdom and discretion here. You should also avoid interacting with people who sow discord, strife, are malicious, and keep stuff going all the time. These folks thrive off being their flesh. I must remind you that are flesh is our enemy. The last encounter of the day should be with Ruach haKodesh (Set Apart Holy Spirit), not flesh!
My prayer for you is that from this post forward as you apply what your being mentored in here that you go to sleep with a renewed mind, full of His Spirit, and ready to receive divine manifestations (e.g., visions, dreams, go on trips—translations) that are produced by setting an atmosphere for sweet, glorious sleep.
Yesterday we explored that no matter how anointed you believe you are, you’ll never manifest the complete and entire glory of God. We talked about God’s structure for the body in ministry, which is team ministry. Let’s expand this topic today. The entire glory (the nature, character, and power) of Elohim (God) is not contained in one vessel. We are many members with some gifts (Ephesians 4, 1 Corinthians 12). I possess one facet and aspect of Elohim’s glory (God’s glory) with the spiritual gifts He’s given me, but when these spiritual gifts are connected and joined to your ministry or other ministries, they are joined to the spiritual gifts of each and every leader and ascension gift in that ministry. Now, when we go forth together to minister, “Ahhh,” a more complete dimension and a more accurate reflection of Elohim’s glory (God’s glory) is revealed.
God has one continued message He’s conveying to us. There is one conversation and divine communication He’s having with us one at a time. He may even keep repeating it over and over again saying it through different vessels to convey it in a way that you or someone else can grasp and comprehend. He loves us and wants us to understand what He’s saying. He’s not hiding meaning from us, He’s hiding it for us (Matthew 13:11, 1 Cor 4:1, Daniel 2:47, Deut 29:29).
We must be sharp, alert, awake, sober-minded. By the way, if you are receiving partial messages and not God’s entire message, the partial is being superseded by the whole making it void and antiquated (1 Corinthians 13:10). Some may say it this way prophetically, “You’re late!” when you deliver a message that He delivered already and has moved on.
Let us pray: ABBA, fine tune our ears and eyes to what you are saying. Cause us to seek you that you may reveal your mysteries, voice, and glory. Help us to seek after wisdom and understanding. Help us to come directly to you, not man. Open our eyes to see and believe that it is you, Yeshua, speaking to us through our circumstances, our pastors, mentors, coaches, the prophets and apostles, and that you hold all the understanding of each and every message and most often right in other things you have spoken to us. Elevate our pursuit of you. Break off all spiritual sloth, slack, and laziness. Sharpen us and open our eyes and ears like never before. We are your glory carriers, and it is pertinent that our seeing and hearing are perfected (i.e., sharp and quick, not dull) in you. Break the strongholds of self-serving ministry, lone rangers in ministry, and individuals with an anointing to a corporate body utilizing every spiritual gift you’ve blessed us with that your full glory is manifested in the lives of those you’ve called us to minister to. It is through Yeshua’s name we pray.
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).
And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me. – 1 Corinthians 11:24
As I was taking communion recently, I noticed how easily the bread broke, and I heard Elohim say, “How easily can you be broken?”
Yahushua (Jesus) willingly offered His body to be broken. He didn’t fight, argue, or resist Elohim (God). Elohim (God) desires to break each and everyone of us. Not just once, but over and over again until every aspect of His personality and nature is infused into us and oozing out of us. So do you cooperate with His breaking . . . or do you resist, run, flee, fight, argue, and disobey His promptings and leadings? Are you easily broken or are you a tough case to crack?
How easily can you be broken? He fills and empowers those who readily cooperate with His breaking and with His glory. So it really isn’t a good thing to have someone say,”S/he isn’t easily broken?” Truly, it reveals your stubbornness, and I choose to cooperate with His breaking and making process.
