SOS# 101~ Live In Your Right Mind

SOS#101~ Seems unbelievable your thoughts are closing, ending, sealing your pathways of old. You are the one changing the direction, setting the course. It's you led by Christ. Trust the change you initiated, the new path you created. Now live within the context of your changed mind. The transforming mind is a continual thing. Romans 12:2

Advent Week #1~HOPE~"I Want This For You!"

"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

Sound of the Spirit:
"Request Granted!


"For the sake of my brothers and friends,
I will say, “Peace be within you.”
For the sake of the house of the LORD our God,
I will seek your prosperity."
—Psalm 122, NIV

"For my brethren and companions' sakes,
I will now say, Peace be within thee.
Because of the house of the LORD our God
I will seek thy good."
—Psalm 122, KJV


I Want This For US BOTH!

Let The Truth Be Told

Let The Truth Be Told

Bishop CD Miller

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."

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."

WHO NEEDS THIS WORD!

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."

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?"

Go To Sleep

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!

Don' 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."

Change Your Closets Over!

Change Your Closets Over!

Bishop CD Miller

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:"

THERE IS SOMEONE AROUND YOU
TODAY WHO NEEDS THIS WORD!

PLEASE TAKE AN EXTRA MOMENT, REACH OUT AND
SEND THIS TO SOMEONE NOW!

Survey The Land

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..."

Stay Center

type="html">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."

A Flash Flood Warning!

A Flash Flood Warning!

Bishop CD Miller

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!"
