Glorious, Eternal Treasures

Karen M. Pina — Mon, 23 Jan 2012 21:03:07 +0000

Because so many professing Christian leaders don’t have a clue about the eternal, glorious treasures stored up for us, they bow to Baal, mammon, run after wicked kings’ dainties, and pursue the world’s riches. That being said, I’m led to share this scripture with you today.

He will be the stability of your times, a wealth of salvation, wisdom and knowledge, and fear of ADONAI, which is his treasure. – Isaiah 33:6 CJB

There will be times of security for you—a storehouse of salvation, wisdom, and knowledge. The fear of the LORD is Zion’s treasure. – Isaiah 33:6 HCSB

When we have fully surrendered our way, will, and success or lack thereof to Yahweh, some (just SOME!) of our treasures are security, safety, the fear of Yahweh, and a storehouse of salvation, wisdom, and knowledge. To explore more treasures of the righteous, go here.

Richly,

Prophetess Karen M. Pina

Your temple

Karen M. Pina — Wed, 11 Jan 2012 20:24:38 +0000

Beloved mentee,

Today, Yahweh led me to visit the website of one our previous coach training clients who is doing some pretty awesome work in the area of Christian health. It’s no secret that many leaders in the body of Christ struggle with unhealthy eating habits and attitudes about food and their temple.

Healthy Freedom is your portion, beloved.

While on the site, I found a f^ree e-book Yahweh graced her to write. I want to share something that she said that literally jumped off the page into my spirit man. She said, “People that are truly healthy emotionally can always say no to food that is unhealthy for them, they can always say no if they’ve put on a few pounds and know they want to lose those pounds, and they live with a sense of self-control around food.”

Umph . . . isn’t that powerful? Did it hit you like it impacted me? Do you possess the self-control that only His Spirit fills? We glorify Him by possessing holy temples that are free from focusing on food all the time.

“Therefore I tell you, stop being perpetually uneasy (anxious and worried) about your life, what you shall eat or what you shall drink; or about your body, what you shall put on. Is not life greater [in quality] than food, and the body [far above and more excellent] than clothing?” – Matthew 6:25 AMP

“[After all] the kingdom of God is not a matter of [getting the] food and drink [one likes], but instead it is righteousness (that state which makes a person acceptable to God) and [heart] peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.” – Romans 14:17 AMP

Freely,

Prophetess Karen M. Pina

Just, Glorious Weight

Karen M. Pina — Tue, 20 Dec 2011 20:00:36 +0000

Ministry and business leaders,

Is what you’re measuring out and receiving just, pure, and righteous? Today’s video holds the answer; watch it below:

Just, glorious weight

A FALSE balance and unrighteous dealings are extremely offensive and shamefully sinful to the Lord, but a just weight is His delight.- Proverbs 11:1 AMP

Prophetic Word & Instructions to Five-fold Leaders

Karen M. Pina — Tue, 06 Dec 2011 20:00:02 +0000

Yesterday, Yahweh released this word to the body of Christ, and I’m impressed to share it here. I preface it by saying, “This is not aimed at specific ministry or business leader.”

Will you continue on the ancient path that wicked men have walked?

Everywhere you turn leaders are being ousted for sexual sins. At the same time, these leaders don’t possess David’s spirit. You see, when they are confronted with their sin, they lie, deny, and in some cases even crucify the one who confronts and inquires. The hearts of many leaders are surely wicked, and they are not turned to Yahweh (God). These men and women are not after Yahweh’s heart, but are after the lusts of the flesh, the pride of life, and the lusts of the eyes.

Because they are not quick to confess and repent, they are snatched away before their time and their foundations are washed away like a river (Job 22:16). Instead of running to Yahweh to be cleansed of their sin, they say, “Leave us alone, God (Job 22:17)!”

Oh what a tangled, deceptive web Satan laid that entrapped them in uncleanness and bondage.

“So any person who knows what is right to do but does not do it, to him it is sin.” – James 4:16 AMP

In some instances, it’s simply man choosing wrong over right. When man chooses man-made glory over Yahweh’s glory, they end up walking on the same ancient path that wicked kings before them walked. Will you continue on the ancient path that wicked men have walked (Job 22:15 HCSB)?

If you need ordained direction and support back to your foundation, we are here and we are a confidential, anointed safe space in which you can get free and experience His glory (i.e., His power, character, and nature) once again.

Blessed and happy and to be envied are those whose iniquities are forgiven and whose sins are covered up and completely buried.– Romans 4:7 AMP

If you’re going to cover your sins, you don’t need Him to cover them, and He can’t cover what you conceal. Come clean to be cleansed, beloved. He’s waiting with open, merciful, loving arms of atonement and forgiveness. The fallout of sexual sin is devastating. It ruins marriages, families, lives, ministries, churches, and elections and callings unnecessarily. There is an option, and it is honest confession and true repentance. How many casualties will you take with you by continuing on the ancient path of wicked kings? Unharden your heart and hear His voice (Hebrews 4:7).

With great grace,

Prophetess Karen M. Pina

Be Still!

Karen M. Pina — Tue, 20 Sep 2011 20:00:31 +0000

Let be and be still, and know (recognize and understand) that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations! I will be exalted in the earth! - Psalm 46:10 AMP

Mentee, it takes time to make a true minister! This is what I heard Yahweh (God) say today, and I’m oh so glad that He kept me on His wheel so I can be one of His true, choice vessels. So many ministers can’t say this. You see, they run from event to event, service to service, ministry engagement to ministry engagement, and conference to conference speaking. Notice I didn’t say they run from event to event ministering, right?

They think they are ministering, but they truth is, they are not according to Yahweh’s standard, which is His glory manifested in the person of Yahushua (Jesus). Yahushua is our perfect example of what true ministry looks like. Didn’t He withdraw from ministry to let Father make Him via their communion and fellowship? He knew how to be still. How about you? If not, you join the ranks of far too many who “stay out there” and never withdraw to be made. Mentee, this is a recipe for disaster, and it is not the example our Father wants us to follow.

I come today as a witness of His perfect timing in sharpening, making, perfecting, and polishing us as we learn to be still. The souls of many await the genuine glory that is to be found in those who stayed on the Potter’s wheel and now shine like a beacon of light, hope, salvation, and deliverance. Don’t be anxious to minister, beloved. Simply make your requests known and He’s sure to answer you by making you what need to be in order to step onto the ministry platform you prayed for. Just be still.

With glorious and divine wisdom,

Prophetess Karen M. Pina

FIT check in!

Karen M. Pina — Fri, 02 Sep 2011 20:00:35 +0000

Mentee,

Yahweh has been using me to hit the FITness in the Temple topic hard. Today, I’m writing to check in on you. Have you been making any of the food in the recipes on the blog? Leave me a comment with your answer. I pray that you have; either way, my prayer for you today is that you keep glorifying Him in your temple with healthier eating choices.

Beloved, we only get one temple, and we can’t serve Him without it!

With glorious and divine wisdom,

Prophetess Karen M. Pina

Glorious Singleness – Part II

Karen M. Pina — Mon, 29 Aug 2011 20:00:07 +0000

Mentee,

Yesterday, we laid the foundation for how Yahweh wants us to allow Him to divinely arrange our marriage. Beloved, I declare it’s time to do it Yahweh’s way. How many more dates and trials resulting in divorce, separation, and broken ungodly covenants do you need to experience before you cry out for Yahweh to bring you His choice in a mate? Cry out . . . Yahweh arrange my marriage. I’ve made a mess doing it according to my standards, the world’, and Satan’s. I’m ready to do it your way.

Make me steadfast, stable, and able to be betrothed, not engaged. For I now know even engagements can be broken if I try something and I don’t like it, but Your way of betrothal to your choice enters me into a covenant that you reveal isn’t meant to be broken. It’s not a “trial period.” It’s me saying, yes to your will and trusting that you know what’s best for me. No matter what I see, think, and feel, Ill trust you and marry your choice. I won’t turn my back on you and thus your choice. Yahweh, I’m asking you to get the glory out of my marriage and to make my singleness glorious. I’m Your Ruth; you are my Boaz, and therefore, you can send me my Boaz in the natural because I’m already betrothed to You. I’m Your bride to be and Your yet teaching me pure, true love, which I’ll lavishly give your choice of mate for me. Thanks you for making me a glorious single vessel fit to be used in the area of marriage. Use me to bring forth your will in my life concerning marriage.

Go and sin no more, beloved mentee!

With glorious truth,

Prophetess Karen M. Pina

Glorious Singleness

Karen M. Pina — Thu, 25 Aug 2011 20:00:57 +0000

Mentee,

You know I don’t see anything in scripture that references a man and a woman going on a date. The world we live in has told us you better try everything on and you better try everything out. If you don’t like it, you can bring it back, return it, or get a refund. Now, we have reduced Yahweh’s glorious creation down to merchandise by implementing a worldly return policy mindset.

Relationships are covenants. Do you possess a revelation of the word covenant and the terms/conditions under which one can and should be broken? In the Old Covenant, we don’t see a dating approach and a return clause. We see betrothal to the one Yahweh has chosen, and yes He used parents’ wisdom in making that choice. Arranged marriages still exist. The question really is, who is doing the arranging . . . man, flesh, the world, or Yahweh? Because you already know our enemies mentioned in the last sentence and Satan will pick one for you if you allow them to. At the same time, so will Yahweh if you allow Him to. When you do, He’s glorified in so many ways. Single ministers, I come today urging and beseeching you to get free from the worldly mindset of going on dates, sampling, and treating people like merchandise.

With glorious truth,

Prophetess Karen M. Pina

Stop Wasting Calories

Karen M. Pina — Wed, 17 Aug 2011 20:00:04 +0000

Mentee,

You can view today’s post in the below video.

With glorious fitness,

Prophetess Karen M. Pina

Who told you how you should look and what size you should be?

Karen M. Pina — Mon, 15 Aug 2011 20:00:05 +0000

So then, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you may do, do all for the honor and glory of God. – 1 Corinthians 10:31 AMP

Yesterday, you commanded your appestat to function normally, and you commanded our flesh to return to the exact size Yahweh intends. Have you ever asked Yahweh what size He intended you to be? Then go ahead and ask Him instead of turning to some chart that lists ideal sizes by height and weight. When I asked Him this question, He revealed that He made me a perfect size 8 from head to toe. Truly, this rattled me because my shoe size is an 8. So what He’s saying to me and through me is that our shoe size is indicative of our ideal size according to him. I pray you explore this for yourself with Him.

In the interim, think back to when the thoughts in your mind starting shifting to a “larger you.” I can pinpoint exactly when it happened for me. I was in high school and needless to say, I was quite thin. My peers and associates started making comments about my thinness and frankly my flat butt. You see, this is right around the time when flaunting your voluptuous rear end in your designer jeans became the in thing to do. This planted a negative seed and even cursed my thoughts about my weight and shape. The next thing a stronghold was erected and I invited in a host of ungodly and unclean demons that caused me to try to “get a butt” and gain some weight. I ate, ate, and ate some more, and before long I was fat, but I still didn’t have a voluptuous rear end. A fatter version of a flat rear end, yes . . . voluptuous, no!

For my glorious appetite to spring forth, I have to uproot, cast down, and out this greed, glutton, and unsatisfaction with how He created me. With His help and grace, I’ve done exactly that, taken dominion and authority over my appestat organ, and shaped and enhanced what He gave me via squats and various other lower body exercises. I’m walking in His counsel about how I should look and what size I should be, and my prayer is that you will too! It’s glorious, beloved.

With glorious service,

Prophetess Karen M. Pina
