Prayer is a powerful tool that connects us with God and allows us to bring our needs and desires before Him. However, sometimes it can be challenging to see our prayers answered. In order to increase our chances of seeing our prayers answered, there are certain steps we can take to align ourselves with God’s will and receive His blessings.
The first step in seeing prayer answers is to start with gratitude. In 1 Thessalonians 5:18, we are instructed to “give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.” Gratitude is a powerful way to align our hearts with God’s will and open ourselves up to receive His blessings. When we approach God with a heart of gratitude, we are acknowledging His goodness and faithfulness in our lives, which can pave the way for our prayers to be answered.
Once we have expressed gratitude, the next step is to know exactly what we need and get a clear picture in our mind of it. For example, if you are praying for a new car, visualize the car exactly as you desire it to look. See the make, model, color, and features in your mind with clarity and detail. By holding this picture clearly in your mind, you are creating a specific and focused intention for your prayer.
In Mark 11:24, Jesus tells us, “Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.” This verse emphasizes the importance of having faith and belief in the outcome of our prayers. By picturing our desires with clarity and detail, we are demonstrating our faith in God’s ability to answer our prayers according to His will.
The final step in seeing prayer answers is to decree it. In Job 22:28, we are told, “You will also decree a thing, and it will be established for you; and light will shine on your ways.” Decreeing our desires is a powerful way to speak them into existence and align ourselves with God’s will. When we confidently declare our prayers and desires before God, we are demonstrating our faith and trust in His ability to bring them to fruition.
In conclusion, by following these steps of gratitude, picturing, and decreeing, we can increase our chances of seeing our prayers answered. As we align our hearts with God’s will, visualize our desires with clarity and detail, and confidently declare them before Him, we are positioning ourselves to receive His blessings and see His power at work in our lives. Let us approach prayer with faith, gratitude, and expectation, knowing that God is faithful to hear and answer our prayers according to His perfect will.
5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You anoint my head with oil; My cup runs over.
A few years ago The Lord gave me a vision of Him preparing me a beautiful table of wonderful food. He pulled my chair out, as he sat me down at a table with beautiful dishes and fine crystal glasses and he stood behind me and anointed me with perfumed oil.
With tears running down my cheeks I looked and across the room and I saw them, they were a group of people who had used me, abused me, and treated me horribly during my life as far back as childhood. They looked on in horror as they saw me, at that table being spoiled by Daddy God.
The Lord spoke this to me, “Tell my people that for every time they have been treated badly, the times that they did only good to others who cheated them, hurt them physically, emotionally and mentally, who stole from them, lied to them I was there and have been setting a place at my table for them.”
Beloved of the Lord, God has seen it all. He prepares a table for us in the presence of our enemies, our cup runs over and he anoints OUR heads with oil, healing oil that erases the pain of injustices and hurts and, at that time, we will remember them no more!
As believers, we know the power of prayer. We have seen the miraculous ways in which God can move in response to our cries for help. One powerful example of this is found in the story of Elijah praying for rain.
Elijah Praying For Rain
In 1 Kings 17 and 18, we see Elijah, a prophet of God, confronting King Ahab of Israel. Ahab had turned away from God and was worshiping false idols, leading the people of Israel astray. Elijah boldly declares to Ahab that there will be a drought in the land as punishment for their sins.
For three years, the land experienced a severe drought, with no rain falling from the sky. The people suffered greatly, and Ahab and his followers continued to worship false gods, refusing to repent and turn back to the one true God.
But Elijah remained faithful and steadfast in his prayers. He knew that only God could bring an end to the drought and restore life to the parched land. So, he climbed to the top of Mount Carmel and began to pray earnestly for rain.
In 1 Kings 18:42-45, we see Elijah’s persistence in prayer. He tells his servant to go and look towards the sea seven times, each time returning with the same report of no rain. But Elijah does not give up. He continues to pray, trusting in God’s faithfulness and timing.
Finally, on the seventh time, the servant returns with a different report. A small cloud, the size of a man’s hand, is forming in the sky. Elijah knows that this is the sign he has been waiting for. He tells Ahab to go quickly, for the rain is coming.
And sure enough, as Elijah had prayed, the heavens opened up and rain began to fall on the dry and thirsty land. The drought was over, and the people of Israel witnessed the power of God in response to Elijah’s prayers.
This story serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of persistence in prayer. Elijah did not give up after praying just once. He continued to seek God’s face and trust in His timing, knowing that God would answer his prayers in His perfect way.
So, let us be encouraged to pray with persistence and faith, knowing that God hears our prayers and will answer them in His perfect timing. Just like Elijah, let us trust in God’s faithfulness and continue to seek Him in prayer, knowing that He is able to do immeasurably more than we can ask or imagine (Ephesians 3:20).
May we be like Elijah, bold and unwavering in our prayers, trusting that God will move mountains in response to our cries for help. Let us never give up, but continue to seek God’s face with persistence and faith, knowing that He is faithful to answer.
My beloved child, do not dwell on the mistakes of your past, for I have already forgiven you. Let go of guilt and shame, for I have washed them away with my endless grace and mercy. Embrace the new day that I have given you, full of opportunities for growth and redemption. I am always ready to welcome you back into my loving arms, no matter how far you may have strayed. Trust in my unconditional love for you and know that I am always ready to offer you a fresh start. Remember that you are a precious child of mine, worthy of my love and forgiveness. Walk in the light of my love and know that I am always with you, guiding you towards a life filled with purpose and joy.
I was recently doing a personal prophetic counseling for someone. I have known her for some years now and during those years I have been praying for her to get a breakthrough. She gets major anxiety attacks out of the blue at times and has a lot of trouble with insomnia and depression. God has the perfect time table and we may never understand it. I have done several counselings for her over the years but during the last one God opened up about the root of her trauma and what its effect on her life had been. I was in total awe at how he clearly took her back to a place in her childhood, that she had buried and not dealt with, that was the root of all her problems. Now she could choose to pull that up by the root, throw it at the foot of the cross and be free at last.
I have listed below some of the ways childhood trauma manifest in adults. Look at the list because if you had child hood trauma one, or all of these may seem familiar to you.
Childhood trauma refers to adverse experiences or events that occur during a person’s early years, typically before the age of 18. These traumatic incidents can have profound and lasting effects on an individual’s emotional, psychological, and physical well-being. Let’s explore some of the ways childhood trauma impacts adults when left unresolved.
Anxiety and Depression: Adults who survived chronic childhood trauma often experience feelings of anxiety and depression. These symptoms may overlap with other conditions, such as bipolar disorder, major depression, or social anxiety.
Chronic Pain:
◦ Physical abuse during childhood increases the risk of chronic pain in adulthood. Conditions like back and neck pain, headaches, migraines, gastrointestinal issues, pelvic pain, rheumatoid arthritis, and fibromyalgia may develop.
◦ Childhood trauma can affect attachment patterns. Some adults may exhibit unhealthy attachment styles, seeking intense and often destructive relationships. These patterns may stem from unmet emotional needs during childhood.
It could be that you know the root of your childhood trauma and just haven’t dealt with it or it could be that you don’t remember it and have buried it somewhere in your mind.
Today, while meditating on God’s love He gave me the following message. If you suffer from any of the things mentioned above then the following prophetic message is for you…
“My child, I see the deep scars that have been left on your soul from the traumas of your past. I see the pain that still haunts your dreams and the fear that grips your heart. But know that I am here to bring you peace and restoration.
I want to walk with you through the memories that have haunted you for so long. I want to help you face the pain and the hurt, and guide you towards healing and freedom. Trust in my love and my grace, for I am the source of all healing and restoration.
I will provide you with the strength and courage you need to confront your past and let go of the pain that has held you captive for so long. I will be your rock and your refuge, your anchor in the storm. I will help you find peace and healing in the midst of your pain.
Do not be afraid, for I am with you always. I will never leave you nor forsake you. Trust in my promise to bring you healing and wholeness, for I am the God who heals all wounds and restores all brokenness.
Allow me to work in your life, my child, and watch as I transform your pain into beauty, your ashes into joy. Trust in my love and my power to bring you the healing and restoration you seek. For I am the God who makes all things new, and I will not rest until you are whole again.”
I was preparing to film this message for YouTube and went to let my dogs out. Right after they went out I went to dust my fireplace mantel and the heavy clock above it fell down directly on my head. It hit in the center of my head and was painful. I am feeling a bit dizzy. It’s a fairly large and heavy clock. Here is the Prophetic Words for today…love you guys Stay blessed
Cathie King-Miller
Prophetess Cathie
My Sweetest Child,
You’re perched at the precipice of a major transformation, so close to winning that you can practically taste it. Your adversary, keenly aware of your impending triumph, is spinning a web of deceit to entice you to abandon your quest. Yet, I implore you to stand your ground. You’re just a few strides away from the finish line, and I beseech you to carry on. Despite the overwhelming pressure and exhaustion, don’t make resignation your recourse. Instead, seek out the telltale signs that indicate your victory is nigh.
In order to toil in My service, it’s pivotal to cast aside false idols and let go of earthly egotism. Any sort of self-glorification must be extinguished, and thoughts adversarial to mine must be relinquished. I ardently wish for you to place everything at the foot of the cross, and pronounce, “Lord, above all, I value your will more than anything else.” The moment you arrive at this place of capitulation, you’ll find that your progression accelerates, as I empower you to tread on my track and pursue the routes I’ve charted out expressly for you.
I understand that a recent heartbreak has left you in emotional turmoil, clutching onto the lingering hope of rekindling a shattered relationship. But believe me when I say this, dear one, that the individual you yearn for, is unfortunately not prepared for a lasting commitment. Shed no more tears, because I have a vision for you that goes beyond what you imagined for yourself. Brace your heart, because as the coming months unfold, you will comprehend why things didn’t pan out as expected. My only desire is for your ultimate happiness, and this challenging period is a means to direct you to the promising future I have arranged for you.
Please be aware of potential legal complications on the horizon that could cause some distress. Even then, be assured that I will stand beside you at every turn, advocating for you in the courtroom. Dare to speak your truth, but remember to do so with considered restraint and humility. Demonstrate a mild and docile demeanor – trust me, it will favor your cause. Embrace courage over fear; I will be there, illuminating your path, steering you through.
I understand that you’re teetering on the edge, feeling as though the enemy’s might is simply too much to handle. You might find yourself puzzled as to why relief hasn’t yet arrived. But please take into account that much like how the Israelites grappled with various tribulations before reaching the promised land, your current adversities are also shaping the way for the blessings that lie ahead. These trials are becoming a part of your story, a testament to my ceaseless love and unwavering faithfulness. Keep holding onto your deep desire for my presence, persist with patience, and you’ll witness miracles start to unravel in your life.
Dear one, brace yourself for challenging times that lie ahead. Violence is escalating, and those who idolize the adversary won’t hesitate to instill fear in sacred gatherings. But remain fearless, for I am your defense. Don’t forget that the forces of darkness do exist, subtly invading every facet of our society. Maintain your closeness to Me through devotion and prayer, and my angels will form a protective circle around you. I am your sanctuary, safeguarding you from the devil’s wicked ploys. Maintain your watchfulness, for the contest between light and darkness endures. Equip yourself with my Word—it’s your most robust weapon against the evil.
Beware of those who preach self-righteousness among My children. Don’t get caught up in pointless arguments that only divide. Love unconditionally, for that’s my true command. Pride and arrogance have no place in my kingdom. Focus on spreading love and unity, for that pleases me. Trust in the Holy Spirit to guide you in truth and lead you on the right path. Avoid fruitless debates, as they only sow discord among my children.
Remember, fear has no place in your life. Trust in Me to turn every situation into something good. With Me by your side, you have nothing to fear. The victory has already been won, so walk fearlessly in My love. Don’t let fear hold you back, for I am always with you, guiding you through every trial and tribulation.
In June of 2024, wonderful things are on the horizon. New doors of opportunity are opening up for you! If you felt stuck or stagnant in the past, don’t worry – I have big plans in store. Major changes are coming your way this month that will have a lasting impact on the rest of your year, and beyond. Your goals will finally start to come into view and feel within reach.
As you navigate these changes, remember to take your time and seek guidance from Me. With multiple opportunities headed your way, it’s important to follow your heart and choose what feels right for you. Trust in My plan and know that everything will work out in the end.
On a larger scale, there will be surprises and shocking events on the national scene this summer. The political scene in 2024 is destined to take a different course, so be prepared for the unexpected.
In the upcoming month of June, some individuals who have been disconnected for a significant period of time will reunite as a result of divine intervention. These changes may come as a surprise, but if you are capable of letting go of the past and moving forward, you will benefit greatly.
Unfortunately, severe weather conditions will occur during June causing distress and loss for many individuals. I urge you to be prepared by gathering important documents in advance, storing batteries and water, and having enough supplies for those who may have nothing. I will utilize these trying times to help people develop a stronger connection with me and offer assistance to those in need.
People are feeling desperate and on edge. Unfortunately, it’s likely that there will be at least one senseless shooting this month. It’s important to remain aware of your surroundings and to have a plan in case of an emergency. Talk to your loved ones, including your children and grandchildren, about what to do if a shooter is nearby. Remember, having a plan could save a life.
For those who have given selflessly to others, this is your time to reap what you’ve sown. Unexpected financial blessings are on the horizon, coming from sources you never could have imagined. As for those who gave even when they couldn’t afford it, I see you and I’m proud of you. Your obedience to my call to give has not gone unnoticed.
Prepare for surprises and unexpected gifts, both big and small. From checks in the mail for overpayments on longstanding bills, to unknown windfalls – I always have a way of balancing things out. You are loved unconditionally, always and forever.
In My Unconditional Love

Holding On for Just One More Day: How Average looking People Often Feel Cheated By God
It’s strange how Satan can influence us by putting one thought after another in our heads. I was talking to my daughter this morning and she mentioned that tomorrow is her four year anniversary of being sober. I feel so blessed and thankful that, through God, she has achieved sobriety! I am so proud of her.
I went out to the kitchen, after our conversation, to make a cup of coffee. A thought came into my head about a bracelet my father had custom made for my mother. She too had been a recovering Alcoholic. For every year she remained sober he added a new diamond to her bracelet. It was beautiful!
I begin to wonder where that bracelet was. I inherited it years ago when both of my parents died. I was a young woman then, an only child with not much help. I suddenly remembered, something I had forgotten, that in difficult circumstances being a single mother, I had to sell that bracelet. Guilt flooded my mind as I begin to feel badly the Lord reminded me I had not had any other options at that time.
My thought then, being led by the evil one, turned to thoughts about how my children’s father had paid me half of what he should have for child support. I was advised by an attorney that he should be paying twice as much as he was paying. But, me being good ol’ sweet Cathie, I let him continue to do so. My thoughts were that by leaving it at the lower amount he was paying every month and if I raised it perhaps he wouldn’t. I considered that he had a right to live and eat too. In the meantime it put me in financial dire straits.
His second wife was very beautiful. I knew, with average looks, I couldn’t hold a candle to her. But when they divorced, because she was wanting to be with someone else, he discovered that as she she had taken with her $32,000 of his savings.
Satan led my thoughts to a picture in my mind of her and him at one of my son’s weddings. They were divorced but my son still invited her and her boyfriend to the wedding. Even though she had stolen $32,000 from him, my ex made a beeline to her table in front of her much younger boyfriend, and asked her to dance. He had not even thanked me once for keeping his child support very manageable. In top of that, even though we were parents of the groom, he never asked me to dance at the wedding. She was beautiful and I am average and, like most men, he was blinded by her beauty which trumped my kindness to him.
One thought like this, after another, was leading me to bitter thoughts and feelings of self pity. I began to think about my low self esteem and how my own mother’s cruel statements about my looks had planted those seeds early in life. I then begin to think about my constant struggles to keep myself slim and attractive. I begin to think how tired I was of that, and how I would like to be loved just as I am. I thought how beautiful women didn’t have to worry about “making the best of what they had.” Thoughts of giving up flooded my mind.
One thought had led to another fueled by Satan’s mission to “kill steal and destroy” our lives through our thoughts. I begin to say to God, “ Why didn’t you make everyone great looking? Things come easily to beautiful people!”
In the midst of life’s challenges and struggles, it can be easy to feel overwhelmed and tempted to give up. The weight of our burdens can feel heavy, and the road ahead may seem long and uncertain. However, in times like these, it is important to remember the words of 2 Corinthians 4:16-18, which remind us of the hope and strength we have in Christ.
“Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.”
These verses offer a powerful reminder that our struggles are temporary and that God is renewing us each day, even when it may not feel like it. They encourage us to fix our eyes on the eternal glory that awaits us, rather than on our current circumstances. This perspective can help us find strength and hope to keep going, even when the road ahead seems difficult.
When we feel like giving up, it can be helpful to take things one day at a time. Instead of focusing on the long journey ahead, we can choose to focus on getting through just one more day. By breaking our challenges down into smaller, more manageable pieces, we can make progress and find the strength to keep going.
Remember, we are not alone in our struggles. God is with us every step of the way, providing comfort, strength, and guidance. He sees our pain and hears our cries, and He is working all things together for our good. Hold on for just one more day, knowing that God is renewing us from the inside out and that a brighter tomorrow is on the horizon.
So, dear friend, take heart and don’t lose hope. Keep your eyes fixed on the eternal glory that awaits us, and trust in God’s plan for our lives . Hold on for just one more day, knowing that we are loved unconditionally, valued, and never alone. We have the strength to overcome, and brighter days are ahead. Keep pressing on, and remember that we are stronger than we think.
Have you ever felt wronged by someone, only to discover later that their deceitful actions were exposed for all to see? It’s a common experience that can leave us feeling hurt, betrayed, and seeking justice. In moments like these, it’s important to remember the comforting words found in Luke 12:2-3: “There is nothing concealed that will not be disclosed, or hidden that will not be made known. What you have said in the dark will be heard in the daylight, and what you have whispered in the ear in the inner rooms will be proclaimed from the housetops.”
This scripture reminds us that even when people do things in darkness to hurt us, God sees everything and will bring their actions to light. It can be difficult to trust in this truth when we are in the midst of pain and betrayal, but taking comfort in God’s promise of justice can bring us peace and healing.
When we feel wronged by others, it’s easy to become consumed by bitterness and a desire for revenge. However, holding onto anger and resentment only harms ourselves in the long run. Instead, we can find solace in knowing that God is a just and fair judge who sees all things, even those done in secret. He will not let evil go unpunished, and He will bring to light the deeds done in darkness.
In moments of hurt and betrayal, it’s important to turn to God for comfort and strength. He sees our pain and promises to bring justice to those who have wronged us. By placing our trust in Him and allowing Him to handle the situation, we can find peace knowing that He will right the wrongs and bring justice to those who have acted deceitfully.
So, the next time you find yourself hurt by someone’s actions, take comfort in the fact that God sees all things and promises to bring darkness to light. Trust in His justice, and allow Him to bring healing and restoration to your heart. Remember, what is done in darkness will be revealed in the light of day, and God will bring justice to all.
Quiet your mind. You are thinking of too many things all at once. Find one thing to concentrate on and we will work on that solution today. You will get things that seem overwhelming to you done easily and effortlessly. Doing things this way will quiet your mind and calm you. If you think of doing all these things at once it can be overwhelming. By doing one thing at a time you will see this task is not impossible after all.
In a panic you chose the first job that came your way and as a result you are miserable and desperate to find another job. Beloved, nothing done in haste will every make you happy. I urge you to trust me more and panic less. I will always provide for you but you don’t always believe that. You must learn not to get ahead of Me but to walk side by side with me. I will lead you on all the right paths. You complain that your life is a mess but that’s because, like a small child, you let go of my hand and run off from me often getting yourself in trouble. That’s why these things keep happening to you. I long to make you understand that My plan is the best plan. Pray and then commit to leaving things in my capable hands.
Your freedom is on the horizon. You are going to move out of this place soon. You can hear my directions clearly when you quiet yourself. You believe this situation is hopeless but I have plans you have not considered and suddenly the key to the next door will be put in your hands. In your mind see me handing you keys to your future. One key opens the door to a home, one key opens the door to a new car, one key opens the door to new relationships and one opens the door to a new jobs. Put all the keys on a keychain that says “With God nothing is impossible.” When you put me first then I will put open door after open door in front of you. I will open doors for you and once they are opened no man or women will shut them.
Beloved, people who do not put me first In their lives have no business speaking into your life. You must learn that your earthly brothers and sisters, come second to your brothers and sisters in Christ. Of course you love them but remember Jesus said, “Who is my mother, who is my brother, he then pointed to the disciples and said “anyone who does the will of the father, these are my brothers, sisters and mother. So even if someone is a blood relative, if they know Me not, you must respectively ignore them. Their advise is not biblically based. They have agenda that involves your live that will benefit them. The hardest lesson you often have to learn is that My Kingdom comes first in your life and all decisions made, based on Kingdom principals, not on others opinions, will be decisions that direct you to the plans I have made for your life. These people do not yet realize that the old you, prior to accepting Jesus as your Savior, is no longer who you are. The Holy Spirit should now direct your life, not people in suits of flesh.
Proverbs 1:12 “Let us swallow them up alive as the grave; and whole, as those that go down into the pit:”
Solomon is like a wise teacher who’s telling his son to be careful about who he hangs out with. He says there are some people who might seem cool but actually just want to get you into trouble. Solomon points out three ways these bad influences work: they try to tempt you, they want to hurt others for no reason, and they’re always looking for the next bad thing to do. He’s basically giving his son a heads-up on how to spot these troublemakers.
Everyone, no matter how old they are, should stay away from people who love causing trouble. The bad guys in Proverbs 1 aren’t just into small pranks; they’re out to really hurt good people. This kind of mean behavior has been around since the very beginning of time.
When you read about these troublemakers in Proverbs 1:12, it’s like reading about a scary snake, a python, that eats everything in sight, whether it’s dangerous or not. Pythons can eat really big animals, sometimes even too big for them, which can end up being a problem for the snake.
So, just like you’d be careful around a huge snake in the wild, you should be careful around people who are up to no good. Solomon’s warning is like a reminder of the sneaky snake in the Garden of Eden story, where Satan tricked Adam and Eve. He didn’t have a good reason to mess with them; he just did it because he’s all about sin. When Eve ate the fruit, it was like she got swallowed up by sin, just like the snake would do.
Satan is always hungry for more people to mess up. He doesn’t just want a piece of someone; he wants the whole person. We’re told to watch out for him because he’s like a predator looking for his next meal. We should avoid people who act like that and keep our eyes open for any tricks they might try to pull.
Here are some examples of bad influences mentioned in the Bible:
⁃ **Adam and Eve** (Genesis 3): Eve, influenced by the serpent, convinces Adam to eat the forbidden fruit, leading to their fall from grace¹.
⁃
⁃ **Samson and Delilah** (Judges 16): Delilah betrays Samson, who was blessed with immense strength, by cutting his hair while he slept, thus nullifying his strength².
⁃
⁃ **Amnon and Jonadab** (2 Samuel 13): Jonadab gives Amnon terrible advice that leads to the assault of Tamar, causing great turmoil within King David’s family².
⁃
⁃ **Ananias and Sapphira** (Acts 5): This couple lies about their donation to the apostles, influenced by greed, and both face divine judgment as a result.
⁃
– **The Pharisees and Sadducees**: Often depicted as hypocrites, they influence people against Jesus’ teachings and plot to kill Him.
These stories serve as warnings about the consequences of succumbing to negative influences and the importance of choosing one’s companions wisely. They also highlight the need for personal integrity and the dangers of deceit and betrayal. Remember, it’s not just about avoiding bad influences; it’s also about being a good influence on others.
