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

In prayer today I began expressing to Elohim (God) that He is the only lover for me.  As I began to say, “You are the lover of my soul!”  He had me pause and ponder that phrase.  If my soul is full of Galatians 5:15-21, is He the lover of my soul?  I don’t think so.  He does not love sin.  He does not love the works of the flesh.  He loves our soul only when it is totally surrendered to Him.  In order for us to bellow out the phrase, “lover of my soul,” we need to examine not only what’s in our soul, but the position and alignment of our soul.  You see, our soul is designed to be mastered.  It is to be trained, beat, and whipped into proper alignment and that alignment is under the subjection of Ruach haKodesh (Holy Spirit).  When your soul is in the background and His Spirit and evidence of Him working through (e.g., His fruit) then you can say, “He loves my soul!” Let’s not forget what our soul is comprised of.

The only way He loves our emotions, will, and thoughts is if those emotions and thoughts are what He feels and thinks.  As it relates to our will, He loves a submitted and surrendered will, not a stubborn will.  Do people often refer to you as “strong willed?”  Is that strong will strong about what He wills or what you want, feel, and will?  The answers to these questions reveal whether or not He loves your soul.  Can you truly, honestly say, “He’s the lover of my soul” today?  I can and will while simultaneously acknowledging areas I must continue to surrender and submit to daily.  We must die to what we want, feel, and think.  We must lose our life to find it deeply embedded in Him. A dead soul is a loved soul! He is the lover of my dead soul.  He loves the areas in my soul I’ve surrendered, submitted to His lordship and brought into proper alignment by His Spirit.  Oh, yes He does!

Broken by glory,

One day I was riding in the car and I turned on a local radio station.  I rarely listen to the radio, but this day I was impressed of the Lord to turn it on.  As soon as I did, I heard the popular single by Pastor Hezekiah Walker, Souled Out.  The Lord spoke to me and said, “Are you really souled out?”  In other words, are you tired of yielding to every whim, whisper, and thought of your mind, will emotions, and intellect?  If you are heading down the corridor of glory, pray this prayer with me:

Bid me to come unto You, O King, My Lord. Summon me. I wait. All be still and quiet. God is in His holy temple. Light the wick in the lampstands. Prepare for Him. Send help, holy help from Your holy temple, O Lord, to enable us to stay on the path and stay in the corridor of glory.

Behold even the moon has no brightness compared to Your glory! – Job 25:5 KJV

Your glory, Lord, is beyond comparison. I have nothing in my point of reference to compare or contrast it with. Every time I think I have a grasp on what Your glory really is, it’s so much more. Your glory is a topic that is inexhaustible. It cannot be studied or contained or enveloped in my finite mind. It takes Your infinite wisdom to unfold the waves, facets, dimensions, and mysteries of Your glory. One magnificent way you’ve shown me Your glory is through Your Son, Jesus.

I stand and marvel as I see Him on the mount of transfiguration shining so brightly. Your glory will light up the New Jerusalem. Yes Lord, Your glory is brighter than the moon. No natural light or sunlight is needed.

Envelope me in Your glory. Envelope me. Wrap Your glory around me like a blanket or a well-worn garment. Suffocate me in Your glory until I die the death You require of my flesh. You see, I need Your glory. I hunger for Your glory. Your glory is ever on my mind. I think about it all the time.

Thank you, Master for making me entirely souled out!

Resting gloriously in Him,

Prophetess Karen M. Pina
