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

IMPORTANT! Ministry Advisory & ALERT
To The Body Of Christ!

BUT It Has Come To The Forefront Of My Attention!

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.

"He hath made every thing beautiful in his time: also he hath set the world in their heart,so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end." Ecclesiastes 3:11

"Is The Lord Taking Too Long To Appear In Your Life?"

I received this Word of Encouragement in an e-mail TODAY:

Everything that is going wrong in your life today shall be well with you THIS year.

You have been destined to make it and you shall surely achieve ALL your goals this year. For the remaining months of this year (2007),

All your agonies will be diverted and victory and prosperity will be incoming in abundance.

Today God has confirmed the end of your sufferings,
Sorrows, and pains because HE that sits on the throne has remembered you. He has taken away the hardships and given you JOY. He will never let you down.

I knocked at heaven's door this morning, God asked me...

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~

I Google searched to find the original author. Then I decided that I didn't care who wrote it! I want this Word for my life NOW! I am hoping and holding on to for me and for YOU! This is OUR WORD! I don't know HOW things will work out by the end of the year but I am believing and HOPING for this Word to fall upon US BOTH!

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
