If it could go wrong, it already has! Just like a baby tucked in the mother's womb, EVENTUALLY THE BABY HAS TO COME; GOD'S GOT TO COME! There is nothing else to occur, nothing else can happen, the only thing next is GOD HAS TO COME! The Lord's solution has to show up, NOW, for you! It's time for the Lord to come into our situations and QUICKLY! No choice NOW, God's Got To Come!
The Lord whispered to me to CLAIM Isaiah 35 for myself! Own the Advent Biblical Reading for the week of JOY! Isaiah 35 is a summary of God's Promises to Israel after a season of devastation! In terms you can embrace, these are the promises which are ours today:
"There is a reverse of misfortunes and those things going wrong will be replaced with joyful songs. Wilderness left after destruction will blossom and waters will flow again. A "WAY" where there seems to be "NO WAY" is being made for you. God HAS TO COME NOW!
A wondrous restoration will conclude God's allowance of wounds you have received and have endured. The Lord is bringing vengeance to those who have been ravenous against you. There will be no more beasts in your land.
Waters will break through wilderness and streams will appear in the midst of parched deserts. Pools and springs of water will flourish thirsty lands. Joy and gladness will replace sorrow and sighing.
He will restore you in excellence and you will blossom abundantly once again. You will see the Glory of the Lord in your life return!"
God HAS TO COME AND WITH A PAYMENT!!! There is no choice in this matter now! This time He is bringing JOY with his restoration! Isaiah 35 IS MINE, IS YOURS! BREATHE IT IN! IT TRULY IS YOUR WORD!
Advent Week #3~JOY
Sounds of the Spirit~God IS RETURNING WITH JOY into your life, AGAIN! God's Got To Come, NOW! IT'S JUST THAT TIME! NO CHOICE IN THIS MATTER! He is DUE TO SHOW UP, NOW!
“Be strong, do not fear;
your God will come,
he will come with vengeance;
with divine retribution
he will come to save you...
They will enter Zion with singing;
everlasting joy will crown their heads.
Gladness and joy will overtake them,
and sorrow and sighing will flee away."
-NIV
"Say to them that are of a fearful heart, Be strong, fear not: behold, your God will come with vengeance, even God with a recompence; he will come and save you...And the ransomed of the LORD shall return, and come to Zion with songs and everlasting joy upon their heads: they shall obtain joy and gladness, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away."
-KJV
Isaiah 35:4&10

A Sound Advisory! Ministry Advisory & ALERT To The Body Of Christ
To The Body Of Christ!
I Have Heard This Before Somewhat...
BUT It Has Come To The Forefront Of My Attention!
Matthew Chapter 24
Ministry Alert To The Body Of Christ!
"Not If, BUT WHEN?!"
Stopping Church Attendance and
Returning To God WILL SAVE YOUR LIFE!

"Not if, BUT WHEN" were startling words of alert, warning and astonishment spoken to me in a recent conversation with Sheryl Y. Battles, Vice President Corporate Communications, Pitney Bowes Inc. Simultaneously, I was on the phone speaking with Cynthia D. Belton, Community Disaster Education & Mitigation Specialist, American Red Cross. I emailed Battles while conversing with Belton. It was "a confirmation" I needed from her as I listened to Belton's chilling words.
"Miller, keep persevering! Keep using the internet as a means of providing an alternate means to providing church online and ministry communications to your audience! You are AHEAD of the PANDEMIC FLU!" "People are going to NEED IT, NEED YOU, THE CHURCH and MINISTRY!" Belton admonished.
Clueless I replied, "PANDEMIC WHAT?" Her words didn't make sense, "Folks WON'T BE ABLE TO GO TO CHURCH! CHURCH as organized corporate space will BE CLOSED!" "Miller, YOU WILL BE ABLE TO KEEP CHURCH GOING during this crisis!" Church will be the LAST thing folks will want to come out to do in the midst of "Social Distancing," I thought to myself. "What if she IS RIGHT???!!!," hmmn.
Completely in the DARK as to any "Pandemic Flu" warning, I listened to my whimsical childhood friend and wondered if she were speaking truth. I was in disbelief. She said, "Remember the Influenza 1918-the worst epidemic the U.S. has ever known!" Quickly, she emailed me her training manual, "Influenza Pandemic Preparedness and the link to the PBS Documentary "Influenza 1918" http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/amex/influenza/
I emailed Battles while chatting with Belton, "Sheryl do you know anything about...are you familiar with and are there US corporate advisories on...'Business Continuity Planning For Avian Flu, Pandemic Flu, Bird Flu'?" "CLICK," quickly her email reply popped back to me. It startled me. I had no idea, that the Lord was speaking to me!
"I am on our company's emergency preparedness/crisis management team and our on pandemic awareness team as well. We tend to use the CDC (Centers for Disease Control), WHO (World Health Organization), and ready.gov websites and updates for general information," Battles words pierced my heart from cyberspace. Where have I been with this, does the Church and the body of Christ know this? Is the Church PREPARED to close it's physical doors but remain open in alternative ways!
Urgently, I ended my conversation with Belton and called Battles directly. WELL VERSED, her words began to mirror the government Pandemic Flu facts and resources found on their website http://www.pandemicflu.gov/ "The World Health Organization (WHO) has developed a 6 phase system to inform the public about the status of a potential pandemic. The WHO says that we are currently at Phase 3 -- which means there is not currently a pandemic, but we are on alert. What causes a pandemic is when a virus that has never been seen in human population before, suddenly starts to spread from human to human. It could take 4 to 9 months before antiviral treatments and vaccine can be developed."
"Experts indicate that 'Social Distancing' will be the only measure of prevention! That is because like the flu, it will be spread through contact from an infected person -- sneezing, coughing, touching surfaces after someone with the flu, etc." "Officials will recommend that public places be closed and public gatherings be limited -- that means work places, schools, public transportation, and churches would all be effected if a pandemic strikes. The virus is projected to stay in one location anywhere from 4 to 8 weeks; and it has the potential to circle the globe approximately 3 times in about 18 months." Battles became my trusted advisor with her counsel.
We exchanged sobering words. "I have been building an ark. I have been pushing the INTERACTIVE properties of the internet for developing church and ministry online!" I explained to her. The theological dots in my head began to connect! I have "church online" already and interactively, I am just as close to a virtual church as I am to reality church." I can have church without leaving MY OFFICE!" Belton's encouragement to keep persevering with my online outreach became a valid Word of Knowledge for me!
Battles replied, "Bishop, it's not a question of IF, BUT WHEN!" "People will have to connect REMOTELY by some means. We are developing alternative ways of corporately communicating and doing business during this imminent crisis." Battles concludes and is on a corporate team of preparation.
I asked her a closing question, "Sheryl do you think what I have been doing with online ministry will be necessary? It appears that the communications technology i.e television, telephones which we know will not be able to serve us during this time. Will the internet, internet phones, video internet phones and computer as well as other VoIP internet technology become an alternate means to remotely connect?"
Her somber reply, "Yes."
Belton, unknowingly and prophetically closed her conversation with these words to me. "There will be a great turning to God because there will be NO WHERE TO GO!" In terms of the Church and godly talk, we call that REPENTANCE! Repentance-a turning of things, self and lifestyle INTO God! Turning your life around in a godly direction is REPENTANCE!
Everyday, near my home, I look at once FULL reservoir now rocky and sandy with puddles of water and it alarms me. It will take years to replenish it, if at all. The recent California fire storms confirmed to many, why I have taken Al Gore and global warming theories seriously. THE ARTIC IS MELTING. Read the story "Accelerating Arctic Melt Worries Experts" which projects exactly when the Arctic will completely melt away like ice cubes on a kitchen table in July!
We haven't heeded life's warnings, REMEMBER THEM: Back in the mid '70s and early '80s, Oh "the grid" is a gay thing! This doesn't effect me! NOW, Look at AIDS; Oh, I hate to travel now, thanks to 911,Intelligence Officials had several warnings and ignored the signs. Even O.J. Simpson can't get through the airport in the same way any more. Life HAS CHANGED!; New Orleans remains a disaster and old news for the media! Lest we forget, Katrina!
Organized corporate space for community will be "Socially Distanced" and may never be the same again!. This is the warning. I have been praying for months why the Lord has allowed technology to move into such "MeSpace" while drawing community INWARD to self! The "i" generation is drawn inwardly and have become residents of cyberspace. Surving the iminent, cyclical Pandemic Flu Crisis will require organizations, family circle of friends and associates, to learn new means of communicating and to continue to function in different ways.
We MUST LEARN HOW TO COMMUNICATE INTERACTIVELY ON THE INTERNET WITH INTEGRITY! Learning InterActive Internet Communications and Content Publishing will be like learning to eat a full buffet, while sitting on your hands! I CONSTANTLY challenge my community, learn "HOW" to communicate with me on the internet! I am always admonishing, "Don't call me on the phone!" "Don't stop by my house!" "Come to my Bible Study LIVE online!"
The tools for interactive ministry and content publishing are FREE ONLINE! WE MUST LEARN HOW to develop an internet communcations architecture in order to communicate interactively and publish content on the internet. WE MUST BUILD YOUR HOUSES, Churches or Organizations IN CYBERSPACE in preparation to live in solitaire space during the crisis!
The Church may have to leave the building during this epidemic and yet still be the Church-GOD's children, the body of Christ! Preparation is key! We will have to gather together and assemble in new and different ways-even collect the offerings in a new way! For years now, I have been building an ark and PRESSED to fill it with believers under the sound of my ministry. The Church has to put a system in place for alternate means of communication.
If the crisis occurs, we will have to leave the building but NOT THE CHURCH! Stopping Church Attendance and Returning To God WILL SAVE YOUR LIFE! "I am always asked is Jesus really coming back?" My answer, "Not IF, BUT WHEN!" is my NOW REPLY!
Theological Tip For The Church's Survival As Organization During The Pandemic Flu:
Women In Ministry KNOW "church online" and how to communicate InterActively WITHOUT GATHERING IN A BUILDING! Why and how could this be? In many cases, traditional churches have closed doors to Women In Ministry! Women ministers have forged passed closed doors to discover new avenues of developing 21st century expressions of Church! Women ministers have become experts in developing "Church online," "web ministry" "internet evangelism" and "internet worship services" because they have been kept out of traditional pulpits! They may not be preaching in YOUR CHURCH...BUT THEY ARE PREACHING IN A NEW VINEYARD!The WOMAN In Ministry who has been kept out of ministry and who has effectively developed web ministry may be the very one used to get the YOUR Church INTO cyberspace during this crisis!

In The State Of Connecticut:
What Happened in Stamford During the Last Major Pandemic:
The Story of Stamford Hopsital, 1896-1971 by Marie Updegraff
“The epidemic was just getting up steam. Between September 24 and October 3, 85 civilian cases had been reported to the health department. During those nine days, the hospital had admitted 57 soldiers from the arsenal and 23 civilians…By October 15, as the flu toll continued to mount, schools, churches, theaters and meetings of all sorts were closed… In the first three weeks of October, there were 68 deaths from flu-induced pneumonia. It was the highest death rate of any epidemic on record in Stamford. One result was a scarcity of caskets. Plan chestnut caskets were being made locally, because out-of-town casket makers and dealers refused to answer their phones.”
State Activities:
The State of Connecticut, HHS and other federal agencies held a pandemic planning summit on February 2, 2006 with public health and emergency management and response leaders within the state.

My child! What Can I do for you?
And I said, 'Father, please protect and bless the person Reading this message...God smiled and answered... Request granted!
~Author Unknown~
There is a difference between EXPECTANCY and PREGNANCY. Mary was pregnant and Jesus ALREADY was born! This Advent Season, I have a HOPE and EXPECTANCY that He will "show up" and "show out" AGAIN in my life! Expectancy is HOPE that my godly desires will happen to fulfillness! Expectancy is WAITING for an outcome. I don't know about you, but I have BEEN WAITING FOR THE LORD TO APPEAR AGAIN in areas of my life! I have been waiting a LONG TIME...How about you??!!!
I am PRAYING, BELIEVING, NEEDING, WAITING AND HOPING for solutions in ABUNDANCE for US BOTH!
John called down prosperity for his friends, "Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth." 3 John 1:2. Our Advent scriptures revealed David's hope for his friends, "I will seek your prosperity."
Therefore, in just a few more days this Word will OVERTAKE our lives together. I want this Word for you and me! Expectancy, this is my HOPE! Hope is God's gift of assurance that it will come to pass just as He has spoken! Amen!
Advent Week #1~HOPE

A Flash Flood Warning!
Bishop CD Miller
Copyright 2007. All Rights Reserved Worldwide.
http://bishopcdmiller.com/
Fear most definitely can set in when you see funds running low, lower, lowest! The thought of an EMPTY BANK ACCOUNT can scare you to death! When the gas tank is near "E," I look to the parable of my neighborhood's reservoir! For years, it lets me know the Lord is my provider and will NEVER let my resource dry up. He is my SOURCE more than my RESOURCE!
For weeks, I have been watching the reservoir near my home literally DRY UP! The landscape of a sandy rocky beach is the picture at the bottom of our city's reservoir! This is not the first time I have watched the reservoir DRY UP! For years, observing the reservoir has become a source of faith! I have learned that the reservoir NEVER DRIES UP COMPLETELY! God always provides!
Well on this occasion, IT HAS LOOKED SEVERELY AWFUL, NO WATER OR RAIN in sight! We live on a well system and we have been concerned, '"Is the well going to dry up also?" The days have passed and passed and passed and passed; drier and drier and drier the reservoir has become! I knew it would pour down raining eventually! The Lord never lets you dry up completely!
Well, last week the rain finally came! Literally, BUCKETS of water drenched my neighborhood. Flash flood warnings were issued. The reservoir filled once again! While driving, I saw cars sliding about the flooded streets. Peacefully, I acknowledged the Lord had supplied. He knows and drops the down pour right on time!
Sound of the Spirit:
There is A FLASH FLOOD WARNING issued FOR YOU! Dried up? The next blessing will over take you! You won't be able to contain it! It's NOW time for the rain to appear!
Philippians 4:19~"But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus!"

Let The Truth Be Told
Bishop CD Miller
Copyright 2007.
All Rights Reserved Worldwide.
http://bishopcdmiller/
There is nothing worse than living under some ones lie about you! Ugh! I once read that it takes a good memory to lie! Lies hidden shall be revealed! The liar's tongue will have to confess the truth! No cover up is hidden from the Spirit. The Spirit of Truth, the Holy Spirit, is the revealer and does expose the lying tongue as well as the lie!
I thought about what anguish Marion Jones must have felt concealing the truth in taking steroids prior to and during the 2000 Olympics. She faces quite a penalty and carrying the burden of the lie deep within must have been painful. During her confession, she says she lied to protect herself and her coach.
I remember once having the worse case of indigestion ever! I tossed and turned! I got up; I laid down! I moaned and groaned in the middle of the night! I was anquished, even tormented with pain! I was having a heart attack for sure!
I tried everything, Pepto, Alka Seltzer, Baking Soda...everything...whatever was deep in my tummy was literally killing me! Finally, nausea took over and there it was! A tiny piece of blanched asparagus, I had eaten for dinner. It nearly killed me! An uncooked piece of hard asparagus got stuck somewhere in my system and IT HAD TO COME OUT!
So it is with the truth! It must be told! The liar will have no rest. The liar MUST come clean and tell the truth! Are you living under the rock of some ones lie upon you? Trust me, the liar around you, is bowing NOW before God.
As the liar is bending over, the truth will pop forward on your behalf! Just like that piece of asparagus had to surface from my belly, the truth will be told. The revealed truth of about your situation, will set you free!
Sounds of the Spirit:
The liar must speak the truth. The truth is being told!
Proverbs 12:19~ "The lip of truth shall be established for ever: but a lying tongue is but for a moment."

Call It What It Is!
Bishop CD Miller
Have you ever said "Something told me to...?" Have you ever had a sense to act upon a little voice inside that was suggesting direction! We either adhere to it or ignore it! The voice can suggest something is to happen or what to do or to take a particular action.
"Thank you, Holy Ghost!" I call that something by NAME! The children of God are led by the Spirit of God! The Holy Spirit tells and shows you things to come! Just acknowledge the "SOMETHING SAID" as the Spirit of the Living God!
Proverbs 3:6~ "In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths."

Change Your Closets Over!
Bishop CD Miller
Copyright 2007. All Rights Reserved.
http://bishopcdmiller.com/
Where I live we are experiencing what those in the Mid-Atlantic know so very well,-"An Indian Summer" The weather remains summer like but it is FALL. The season has changed but the weather remains typical of the previous season. Don't be fooled by the weather, THE SEASON HAS ALREADY BEGUN!
I have been observing "the squirrels!" They are busy preparing for Winter! They are moving along gathering their acorns in spite of the atypical weather which suggests summer is still around! They instinctively know the season they are in!
Generally, weather maybe harsh or complimentary. Weather defines the nature of a season. One thing for sure, you are ALWAYS in a season. Your season is ALWAYS current in spite of great or in climate weather! The weather of your season may not be complimentary but you are most definitely, in a season!
Enjoy the weather, but know this one thing THE SEASON HAS CHANGED! Clear out your closet of the old to make room for the new season to appear in full. It is fall and by the end of the month YOU WILL FEEL THE COOLNESS of the Season! Get busy, prepare now for the fullness of this, your next season to divinely manifest. It WILL APPEAR, completely by the end of the MONTH!
Finish the cleaning, storage and filing away of the last season. By the end of the month the NEW WILL BE IN FULL SEASON UPON YOUR LIFE! Don't be moved by the weather; it is FALL!
Sounds of the Spirit:
Your Season HAS CHANGED ALREADY! It might feel a little like the old is still with you! Watch the Lord appear in full by the end of the month!
Ecclesiastes 3:1 "To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:"

Only Jesus~He's At Hand
Bishop CD Miller

http://bishopcdmiller.com/
Jesus is the one who knows all about it! Jesus is the only one who can fix this specific situation! The scenario is extremely complex and impossible to even discuss it further with anyone else. Only the Lord knows every little detail, from every perspective. Sorry to report, there is NO ONE who can deal with the issue at hand other than the Lord!
Your only choice is to trust and obey! You are called to trust in an unseen God in what is an unknowing situation to you. Your every thought is a prayer. You have no further energy and can't even explain it all to anyone who could be a prayer partner. Strangely enough, no one is there to answer your phone call or to keep their appointment with you etc. Squeezed in a weary land, He is your only rock.
Your obedience thus far is your ONLY confidence that His Will is being performed in your life. The fact you have been obedient is your leg to not only stand on, but to rest on. There is no one, this time, who can support the performance of His Will in your life. Only the Lord can see you through this one, this time! The Lord knows all about it completely...be comforted!
Sounds of the Spirit:
God and God Alone can fix it! Wait on Him to deliver you completely-All By Himself!
He is at hand! Understanding is forthcoming!
Proverbs 3:3-6~"Let not mercy and truth forsake thee: bind them about thy neck; write them upon the table of thine heart:... So shalt thou find favour and good understanding in the sight of God and man...Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding...In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths."

http://bishopcdmiller.com/
You have been moving around trying to fit in; it's been like a famine to you! Indeed, the Lord has been truly developing something special in you! Though it is God's handy work in your life, there seems to be no spot for you. There seems to be no room for what He has been birthing in you! Just Claim Rehoboth in your life, TODAY!
Claim REHOBOTH and know the Lord is making room for your gift! You will be fruitful again! The Lord is with you to bless you! Believe the Lord is blessing you again! Claim, believe and stand on the Rehoboth's landing!
You are already so blessed with all the Lord has given, that it can't be contained in one spot! He does have a place big enough for all the blessings you have and will receive from Him! Don't worry, leave from your dry spots and dig another well! It will be easy this time! He is calling you to Rehoboth!
Sound of the Spirit:
Dig Another Well and name it Rehoboth!
Genesis 26:22-24 "And he removed from thence, and digged another well; and for that they strove not: and he called the name of it Rehoboth; and he said, For now the LORD hath made room for us, and we shall be fruitful in the land...And the LORD appeared unto him the same night, and said, I am the God of Abraham thy father: fear not, for I am with thee, and will bless thee, and multiply thy seed for my servant Abraham's sake."

My Life Is In Your Hands!
Bishop CD Miller
Copyright 2007. All Rights Reserved.
http://bishopcdmiller.com
Dangling on a string someone else is holding? Lord, have mercy! It's one thing to know that an Angel is standing in the way to protect our future. Yet, it is another thing to feel like a person is hindering your way in the Lord! There are just times we can feel as if other folks have put us in a grip! We can find ourselves in situations where we are at the mercy of others! Like a boss who holds the key to our promotion or our future is based on someone's important decision about us.
We can feel as if we aren't able to move ahead unless some person, man, woman or thing will make the way for us! Are we really dependent on what others may decide on, for or against us! We are NOT AT THE MERCY of others! Our fate is not at the hand or mercy of anyone other than The Lord Jesus Christ! His Mercy Endures in our lives FOREVER!
No weapon formed against you can prosper! What the Lord blesses can not be cursed! If the Lord be for and with you no one can come against you! The one who blesses you will be blessed and the one who curses you will be curse! No one can safely touch or hinder your way! Every Pharaoh is SUBJECT to the Sovereign Will of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Sounds of the Spirit:
Your Life Is In His Hands!
Numbers 23:8 "How shall I curse, whom God hath not cursed? or how shall I defy, whom the LORD hath not defied?"

I know He answers better than we have asked! I know He has plans for us that are better than our own agendas. He will give me more than I have asked for! I know HE will! It's headed my way! It's headed your way!

Things not moving fast enough...feel like something is in the way? Everything seems perfect for the next move in your life, but nothing is happening?! You aren't hearing from the Lord? I remember years ago my husband and I sought to purchase a new home! Of course, we needed to sell our home in order to purchase a new home. We began to prepare and to make ready our home to sell.
Our realtor began to share tips on how to sell our home fast! More importantly, we found the new home we desired next! I needed to sell my home quickly! Ah! But...The Lord said NO, NOT YET! We did everything we could to sell our home! We couldn't even give it away! After, a VERY LONG season of not being able to sell the house, I considered the Lord's Will must be in another direction! WE WERE NOT ONLY STOPPED BUT BLOCKED! The Lord had another PLAN!
After the longest waiting season EVER, Elder Miller came home with a surprise! Honey, I got a promotion, "Want to move to New York City?" The Lord had a blessing in store and HIS ANGEL was blocking our noble plan! Plans can be noble but not in HIS WILL, PURPOSE or DESIGN for AN ASSIGNED BLESSING! Everything fell in place; we were THEN released into our next season of blessings!
Remember the story of Balaam? Balaam's donkey saw the Angel of the Lord BLOCKING Balaam's agenda; the donkey plopped down under Balaam. HINDERED and FRUSTRATED Balaam, began to kick his donkey to cooperate! The donkey, seeing the Angel refused to move! The donkey in the way was designed to keep Balaam in the WILL AND WAY of the LORD! The Angel of the Lord WAS THE ROAD BLOCK!
Sound of the Spirit:
Hang in there champ~there's a donkey in your way! Your road block is designed to keep you in the path of the Lord's blessing assigned for you! The Angel of the Lord wants to make sure you arrive at the point of your next blessing!
Numbers 22: 21-31~"And when the ass saw the angel of the LORD, she fell down under Balaam: and Balaam's anger was kindled, and he smote the ass with a staff....Then the LORD opened the eyes of Balaam, and he saw the angel of the LORD standing in the way, and his sword drawn in his hand: and he bowed down his head, and fell flat on his face."

Survey The Land
Bishop CD Miller
Copyright 2007. All Rights Reserved.
The Lord has prepared a vision statement for the exiting your transition season! The Lord always gives, in advance, specific instructions for HOW TO both receive and keep your next blessing. The Lord's Vision Statement is heading your way. Your instructions are forth coming.
Before the Israelites realized God's promises, the Lord spoke instructions! As example, The Lord spoke to Joshua, "Go view the land!" Also, the Lord admonished Moses to tell the people, "When ye be come over Jordan into the land of Canaan-" The Book of Deuteronomy especially Chapter 4 is FULL of "Cross over to your promise INSTRUCTIONS!"
The Lord is our mighty guidance counselor and gives us clear vision as well as spiritual guidance of what tomorrow will look like. You are being given vision which will direct your next steps. Like an artist, He uses a model for visual reference. He gives a vision plan and a vision statement for you to follow.
Recently, the Lord told me to SURVEY THE LAND, look around my community in a 30 mile radius! In obedience, I visited a neighboring church. I had never been there before. From the moment I walked in, I was impressed! Everything I experienced, through an introductory invitation to meet with the Pastor was pristine! The Lord said, "This is YOUR EXAMPLE! IMPLEMENT THIS VISION EXACTLY!" "Here is YOUR VISION PLAN!"
"Hmn, transition season must be coming to a close!" I declared to myself. Receiving inspiration, vision and Godly instructions begin to signal the closing of a transitional season. Godly direction is headed your way!
Sound of the Spirit:
Survey The Land! OBSERVE CLOSELY~Your vision, inspiration and instructions are around you everywhere! The close of your season of transition is imminent!
Numbers 35: 10~"SPEAK unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, WHEN ye be come over Jordan into the land of Canaan..."

Go To Sleep
Bishop CD Miller.
Copyright 2007. All Rights Reserved Worldwide.
During a transitional state, I am sorry to say, YOU ARE IN THE DARK! Though a new day, you are squarely between midnight and daybreak! GO TO SLEEP! Think about it, when you are in a deep sleep, you are trusting! You are trusting that your heart is beating, your blood is flowing and your lungs are breathing. Sleep! Trust! Rest! Be STILL! You are AT A REST STOP!
Rest is extremely important for the next level of producing. Rest cycle points seem to occur around every seven to ten years of life. Your land is called to rest! When we don't understand a transitional state, we can fall into: depression, anxiety, sleep depravation, sleep insomnia. Trust God; the Lord has called this transitional watch hour in your life!
There is a small rectangular tomato garden at a major intersection near my home. Year after year, for the last ten years it has been producing perfect plants and tomatoes. I truly mean perfect! EVERY YEAR, the tomatoes look like red tennis balls-JUST PERFECT! This year, the tomato plants look whimpered and weak. The tomatoes this year look like golf balls with the indentations!
One sleepless night, the Lord spoke to me! "Look at the tomato plants and the tomatoes and the garden strip, this year. My daughter, what do you see?" "Once a beautiful tomato garden, now looks exhausted and there are hardly any plants," I whispered, in reply to the Lord."Go back to sleep and REST! TRUST Me in this transitional season! Things are as they should be."
Sound of the Spirit~
Go To Sleep! High volume Kingdom of God producers MUST REST!
Leviticus 25:4-5~"But in the seventh year shall be a Sabbath of rest unto the land, a Sabbath for the LORD: thou shalt neither sow thy field, nor prune thy vineyard. That which groweth of its own accord of thy harvest thou shalt not reap, neither gather the grapes of thy vine undressed: for it is a year of rest unto the land."

Don't Be Afraid Of The Dark!
Bishop CD Miller
Copyright 2007. All Rights Reserved Worldwide.
Addressing a new season is just that. It's NEW, A NEW DAY, a new light, a new life! I hear you shouting at me, "BUT, Bishop CD Miller, why can't I see it?!" Though we realize that a change has occurred there is a remnant of old which lingers. For example at 12 o'clock midnight is the end of the day. Now, exactly at 12:01 am IS A NEW DAY BUT IT REMAINS DARK! We must transition into a new day through the dark!
This is a transitional state! Transitional states are quite uncomfortable but have a purpose. I recently discovered two online sermons which caught my attention about transitioning into a brand new life. Recently, Dr Robert Jeffress' streaming online sermon, encouraged me to enjoy my "intermission!" Games are WON after half time and intermissions! WOW What a WORD!
SEE THIS GREAT WORD from Bishop Corletta Vaughn "A Place Called Transition!" "Transitions break and free us from the past," Dr Vaughn reveals. I further contend, "Transitions make us clear to see the new found glory ahead! Don't be afraid of change or the dark before the light!"
Though things still seem dark, IT IS A NEW DAY! It's only a few more hours until the dawning of the NEW DAY! As sure as the sun shines everyday, Your BRAND NEW day is HERE! DAYBREAK is at hand! The Lord will explain exactly HOW TO START UP again in your NEW DAY!
Sound of the Spirit:
Don't be afraid of the dark! Believe it or not IT IS A NEW DAY!
Psalms 30:5~"For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning."

Stay Center
Bishop CD Miller
Copyright 2007. All Rights Reserved
Driving along between a few exits, I became startled by a motorcycle chase. Squirting between cars, one bike acutely swooped past me at warped speed. Thinking to myself, I pondered, "Can one control a bike at that speed." Speeding in this manner, I considered, "Is is worth risking my life to arrive at my destination so quickly!" Is a speed chase worth the journey and destination.
No sooner catching my breath, I approached another exit. Puttering along, a car was slowly attempting to merge the highway. Advancing ever so slowly, the car couldn't enter on and began to crawl upon the shoulder. Going TOO slowly and cautiously, the car jeopardized safety.
How do we determine if we are traveling to fast or too slow? The median strip of the highway is the road's point of safety. Driving moderately, we can stay in control. Keeping that moderate pace you will feel PEACE, SAFE and IN CONTROL.
Merely adjust your driving speed! Speed up or slow down; don't cross the median strip. A sense of peace is your confirmation you are driving within the speed limit. Eat one piece of pizza not two! Find the point of moderation and regain peace! Find center, i.e-not to far to the right and not to far to the left. Don't drive to fast or drive to slow. Going to slow you might miss it; going too fast you might lose it. Find center; restore peace!
I think we drive too fast sometimes, thinking we need to hurry to our next destination. The Lord wants us to arrive where He is sending us...but wants us to arrive safe and sound! We WILL and ARE going to ARRIVE where He is sending us!
Sound of the Spirit:
Don't cross the lane of safety. Regain control to regain peace. The Lord IS IN Control!
Philippians 4:5~"Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand."
