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
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
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.
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 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!
He who speaks from his own mind seeks glory for himself, but he who seeks the glory of He who sent him is true and there is no iniquity in his heart. – John 7:18 AENT (Aramaic English New Testament)
Mentee, if you’ve been allowing Ruach haKodesh (Holy Spirit) through this blog to mentor you, then you’ve learned we must make the shift out of the mind (one entity of our soul) into His mind (the Spirit of God who knows the mind of God) on a consistent basis.
What I’ve seen many ministers do is shift into His when it comes to ministering to others, but in their day to day life, they are always speaking from their mind. Yahweh wants to bring His ministers into the place where their day to day speech is from His mind, not their own. Lean not unto your own understanding acknowledge Him and He will direct your paths. Did you think this scripture and the one above applies only to you when you are ministering? Truth be told we need His mind, His thoughts, and His speech flowing through us at all times. This is how you begin to tap into and partake of His glory (e.g. His nature). Every encounter someone has with you should be an interaction with His speech, His words, and His nature. People are dying; even those who sit in church week after week. People need to encounter their God. It brings others hope and catapults their faith when they see His glory in you. It’s really not an option any more. It’s a necessity for you, the body of Christ, and the world. We need His glory, His speech, His mind, and His words, not ours. If you refuse to heed this scripture, then you are seeking your own glory, not His! Remember this mentee, you have the words of life that are eternal when you speak Yeshua’s words (John 6:68).
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
For our light, momentary affliction (this slight distress of the passing hour) is ever more and more abundantly preparing and producing and achieving for us an everlasting weight of glory [beyond all measure, excessively surpassing all comparisons and all calculations, a vast and transcendent glory and blessedness never to cease!], – 2 Corinthians 4:17 AMP
Yeshua (Jesus) never said our walk toward glory would be easy. As a matter of fact, He told us we would have tribulation in this world. Our tribulations and afflictions can feel like they will never pass, but look at what the scripture above tells us. It‘s just a passing slight distress. We have the Comforter, our Standby, who helps us to please the Father and who leads us into all truth, residing on the inside. Therefore, ask Him to help you move from the place where your afflictions seem longer and heavier than they actually are. One way I know to do this is to focus in on what the affliction is producing. We are afflicted so the weight of God’s glory can rest on us, and the beautiful thing about it is He is preparing us to dwell in His transcendent glory forever. So the next time you are distressed let ABBA, Father, speak to your heart and tell you, “It’s a light affliction, baby!”
All Your works shall praise You, O Lord, and Your loving ones shall bless You [affectionately and gratefully shall Your saints confess and praise You]! They shall speak of the glory of Your kingdom and talk of Your power, To make known to the sons of men God’s mighty deeds and the glorious majesty of His kingdom. Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and Your dominion endures throughout all generations. – Psalm 145:10-13
I woke up this morning with the words “Envelope me in Your Glory” ringing ever so gently in my ear. These words were a supplication, a prayerful request. So, let’s go together to the throne of grace and obtain the favor we need in the form of Him enveloping us in His glory.
LORD the cares of life and the world weigh so heavy on us sometime, and we run to so many other things for relief. We run to food, friends, entertainment, and even Christian fellowship. What we really need is to be enveloped in Your character, nature, and power. So, today we come asking for what we need. In accordance with Your word, we ask for Your strength, power, wisdom, revelation, truth, hope, love, might, a fervent prayer life, and joy. Manifest Your Glory to me and through me that the sons of men might see Your Majesty. It is through Yeshua’s (Jesus’) name we do pray. Amen, let it be so!
Enter into the rock and hide yourself in the dust from before the terror of the Lord and from the glory of His majesty. – Isaiah 2:10 AMP
As I’ve often said and repeat it here, “There is way too much flesh around these parts!” If you are still living in, embracing, and entertaining your flesh and others, then this is a prophetic warning to you. Enter the rock which is Yeshua (Jesus) and hide your flesh (it should not be seen). At this point in your walk, you should fear Adonai (the LORD). His majesty and glory is about to cover the earth in a way we’ve not seen in quite a while, and if you are still in your flesh, you better hide. That’s right, as His prophet, I warn you to hide from the glory and enter the Rock.
