“I need a people that live righteously in these last days. As much as you can, come away from the things of the world. When you walk into the places the world hangs out you literally “breathe in evil.” Those words, those pictures, those things that tempt you are downloaded into your mind. They give a foothold to the enemy.

 

Stay in places where you breathe in my Spirit. These are the places where you find peace, and serenity. In the secret places with me, you receive strength for the battle ahead.”

 

Finally, brothers, good-by. Aim for perfection, listen to my appeal, be of one mind, and live in peace. And the God of love and peace will be with you. 2 Corinthians 13:11

“I know you have a tendency to “mess up.” I do, however, know that you always have the best intentions.

I know how much you can take, and I know the places in which you are a bit weak. You are a work of my own hands. Like the potter knows the strengths and weaknesses in the pot he designs, so I know the strengths and weaknesses in you.

I made everyone different sizes, with different personalities, to be used for My work in different and diverse places. Just, again, as a potter makes his pots for different uses.

You, my vessel, are sitting on the table I designed for you to be placed on at this particular time. Just because you don’t sit in the china cabinet doesn’t mean you aren’t special to me. Relax; you are sitting exactly where I want you to be sitting at this moment. Soon, you will know why I have placed you in this position. Until then, simply be willing to be used right where you are!”

“My people shall dwell in a peaceable habitation, in safe dwellings, and in quiet resting-places.” Isaiah 32: 18

“I hear your prayers for your loved one. I know you are getting weary waiting for a change to be seen or heard regarding this situation.

I have a very specific timetable. There are things that need to occur before you see a positive solution.

I never act in haste, when I arrange a change it is a permanent one.

Total surrender only occurs when every other avenue of resistance to it has been closed.

Why would I give my children half a miracle? I will not allow anything or anyone to come to you that would hurt you again. So be still and be patient. When your prayer is answered, in this regard, it will be answered PERFECTLY.”

“For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” declares the LORD.” Isaiah 55:8

Adultery, Fornication and The Christian

adultery

Recently a friend of mine called and wanted to know how to handle a Christian friend who is having a relationship with a married man. The woman has told her that she knows what she is doing is wrong and yet she keeps getting pulled back into it.

 

Well, duh? I have said it before and I will say it again…Satan never brings anything unattractive to tempt us with. But these things can be avoided if we are not going to the wrong places and doing the wrong thing when we get there.

 

Sin feels good, looks good and tastes good. As someone who constantly has to watch my overindulgence in sweets I can tell you that Satan never shows me a big plate of liver to tempt me with. He knows that doesn’t work, so it’s usually a nice piece of some kind of cake that smells good and looks good. If I sit there and look at it long enough I can convince myself that “a little bit of sugar won’t hurt me.” But, in my case it will.

 

My friend wanted a scripture verse that would convince the other woman that if she continued on in this affair she would surely lose her salvation. The following scripture is the one I found that seemed to fit the bill;

 

If we deliberately keep on sinning after we have received the knowledge of the truth, no sacrifice for sins is left, 27but only a fearful expectation of judgment and of raging fire that will consume the enemies of God. Hebrews 10:26-27

 

Now remember God forgives any sin. Even at the last minute. The thief on the cross is a perfect example. I have known a lot of folks in my life who seem to think, “I can go on with this sin, and I will just confess it on my deathbed.” Well, that’s all fine and good but we don’t plan our deaths. Sometimes a car comes into our lane and hits us full force and we are killed instantly. No time for forgiveness, in this case, and we are on our way to hell.

 

When we play with sin, we play with fire. We have to walk away from it, as hard as it is and go in the direction God wants us to go in. When we go in that direction, God will evidentially make it all worthwhile for us.

 

If someone we know comes to us with a confession of some kind of sin that we know is against the will of God, it becomes our duty to tell the truth to them about how God feels about it. It’s not easy; because we worry about losing the friendship of someone we may care deeply about. It is still our responsibility to tell them what the Word says.

 

I then believe we cannot continue to listen to their “stories” of woe, if they are not willing to repent and turn away from the sin. We must tell them “I love you, but what you are doing is wrong. I will continue to pray for you, but I can’t stand by and watch you destroy your salvation, anymore.”

“Awake from the deep sleep you are in. Look around you and listen to the sounds of silence. Do not be so easily taken in by things that people say. Words are just words until I breathe my Holy Spirit upon them.

 

Not every word you hear is a “God Word,” even though “So Called” Christians from Mega Ministries give it to you! The truth is not in them; I have not called them. They are drunk on the gold gleaned from the bank accounts of my people. They are not a bit different then the bankers on Wall Street, with their million dollar houses, and their BMW’s. They don’t get it yet. I have turned my back on them, and my favor is now with the unknown ministers to my people. Many of whom go hungry each day themselves.

 

Pray for discernment to separate the wheat from the tares, in these last, last days. Be willing to walk away from dead congregations. The time is too short to go over the same old things, over and over. Now is the time to minister to the hurting.

 

The patients are dying and screaming out in pain. They need a living WORD transfusion.”

 

“Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven will enter. Matthew 7:21

A Word Of Knowledge From God To You

“You are struggling with an area that you cannot get the victory in.

 

You have tried to overcome in your own strength. Now release that area to Me.

 

You are weak, but I am strong. When you admit that you have no power over this area of weakness and ask for My help, then I will rush in and deliver you. However, I am a Gentleman.

 

That is why I “stood and the door and knocked” I am knocking on the door of your heart, won’t you let me come in and take over that area of weakness?”

 

“For there is nothing hidden that shall not be disclosed, nor anything secret that shall not be known and come out into the open.” Luke 8:17

Having A Hard Time Sleeping?

Do you have a hard time sleeping because of worry thoughts that constantly bombard your mind? Do you finally get to sleep only to wake up early and toss and turn again with worry?

 

Worry starts, nine out of ten times, when we have done everything we know to do regarding a situation and we are frustrated because nothing seems to be “moving.” Bill collectors are still ringing our phones off the hook, we still don’t know how we will pay the house payment, much less our utilities…and then there is our car payment and without our car how are we going to get to work or look for a job…and on and on and on. Sometimes in my minds eye, at one time, I felt I could almost see Satan laughing hardily as I tossed and turned.

 

One night, as I struggled with all this worry it was as if God spoke to my heart “Cathie, are you trying to get my job?” I thought, “I don’t know what you mean Lord.” “Well, there is only one God, and that is ME!” God went on to impress on me that I was trying to do everything on my own. Finally it dawned on me that I was putting my trust in my own ability to solve my problems and not obeying God! Jesus says that if we are burdened and heavy-laden we should let Him take this upon Himself. (Matthew 11:28)

 

As people who profess to believe in God then shouldn’t we take Him at His word? Why is it that we don’t trust Him with everything? Nothing that we do will accomplish anything. Think about the last time you had a problem with worry. Did all your worrying accomplish anything? The bible says it is not “By power or by might, but by the SPIRIT” The problem is taken care of by the Holy Spirit if we can only trust Him with it. (Zechariah 4:6)

 

The bible tells us that when the Holy Spirit comes He, and He alone will lead us into all truth. We need to get to the point in life where when we pray about something we leave it at the foot of the cross with calm assurance that God will give us answers. Sometimes He brings someone in your life to help you, sometimes you get a “God Inspired” idea, and at other times God sends an Angel before you to give you favor with your bill collectors. I don’t know how He will do it for you, but I know He will!

 

When I was first trying to get over my worry thoughts I was in a Goodwill store and ran across some cassette tapes that helped me greatly. One of the tapes was an old one entitled “Binding Fear and Anxiety.” The minister that made the tape quoted nothing but sixty minutes of scriptures regarding faith. I played it over and over and I experienced God’s touch in many areas of my life. For one thing Satan was no longer able to bombard my mind with worry thoughts. I used a headphone and all other noise left as I let Gods Word minister to me. I would advise you to look for scripture tapes online, or make your own tape. Filling my mind with the Word changed my life. Desperate times call for desperate measures. For me, God led me this way to renew my mind. God will do the same for you!

 

In closing remember the Word, “The God who watches over Israel neither sleeps nor slumbers.” God is up all night. He works the night shift for you. Release your worry, give it to God and watch Him work supernatural miracles in your behalf.

Coffee With Cathie 5/4/2018

What a beautiful sunny morning we woke up to! 

Lately God has been sending very mature Christian friends my way online. I am thrilled about that and praise God for them. In prayer this morning I asked God about it. His answer seemed to be that as demonic activity increases we will be needing to stick together in greater ways then ever! We need to continue to back each other up in prayer as those on the front lines are being buffeted by demonic activity more then we ever have been. 

There seems to be no basic manners anymore. There is no restraint. People say what ever comes into their minds and then act surprised when others are upset with them. In most things God has told me to watch my mouth and stay silent. It isn’t worth engaging with these people. We have read the book and know who wins in the end.

John 15:19 

If you were of the world, the world would love you as its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.

John 18:36 

Jesus answered, “My kingdom is not of this world. If my kingdom were of this world, my servants would have been fighting, that I might not be delivered over to the Jews. But my kingdom is not from the world.”

Enjoy your coffee today with the calm assurance that He is still on the throne and His will WILL be done!

PS. God has shown me that things will be revealed this month. People that have been hiding bad motives will be exposed and the truth will come out. Be prepared to be shocked!

Finances are turning around. God is promoting people into greater areas of responsibility. Those who have been sitting in the shadows will now be seen by many in a greater arena of influence.

Have a blessed day,

The Secret Of Living Joyfully In The Valley Or Up On The Mountain Top

Jesus called out to them, “Come, follow me, and I will show you how to fish for people!”

Matthew 4:9

 

The bible tells us that Jesus recruited the disciples at their place of work, where ever that was.

 

In the case of Peter and his brother Andrew, when He called to them the bible tells us “at once they left their nets and followed Him.”

 

Wouldn’t it be wonderful if we really considered our lives each and every day, and realized that it’s not “all about me?”

 

But the trouble is that most of us view our lives as our own. We don’t consider that if God had a plan for us, from the beginning of time, and that plan involved working for Him. As we do the work that He called us for, in our homes, our communities and our places of unemployment, He then puts His plans into motion, right where we are.

 

I once had a job I was not fond of, but times were tough and jobs were hard to come by. I would get up in the morning, slowly, dreading to go to my place of employment. I prayed about it and one day, while seeking the Lord, I heard the still small voice in my head that said, “You aren’t really working for that company, you are working for me.”

 

I began to meditate on that. Slowly, I began to realize that God was speaking a truth to my heart. I began to see that God wanted me to be a beacon of love and light in that crazy environment. I then began to walk into work with a happy heart, as I saw my work as that of the Lord, and not all about me. By the time I finally moved on to another department their I had seen God use me to pray with fellow co-workers, minister to them and see a couple of them come to know God as Lord of their lives.

 

So where are you today? Do you dislike your situation? Are you frustrated in the way your life is going. What would happen if you simply sat down and ask the Lord how you can best serve Him in the midst of your circumstances.

 

Maybe you just need a plan. Maybe you need to quit obsessing over your own problems and look around to see how you can make a difference in the life of someone else.

 

If when we are laid off, we can still let the Lord use us. We can pray for others, we can go serve soup at a soup kitchen, and we can cheer the life of others we meet in our daily lives. The very idea that we can be happy in the midst of our circumstances is a silent testimony for God.

 

We all get depressed from time to time. The problem comes when we dwell in depression. I stayed in depression for years, until God delivered me. The battle with depression is in the mind. When we start feeling sorry for ourselves, we go into major discouragement. I learned, through the Word, that God wanted to deliver me from dwelling on my own problems and myself all the time. Self-pity comes from dwelling on what’s wrong in our lives and then obsessing on it day and night. When Satan plays, like that, with our minds nothing changes and He has us where He wants us. We can choose today to not sit with depression. Instead we can step out in our gift to help others. Even if it’s only to smile and them!

 

The secret to living life is to not be entangled in the daily circumstances, whether they are good or bad at the moment. In Philippians 4:11 Paul says the following; I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances.

 

In life we will have good and bad circumstances. Our goal is to live in peace and serenity no matter what the circumstances. When we reach that level of faith, our whole life changes for the better.

 

Father, it’s not easy living in these times. Problems, of all sorts, abound on each and every side and we are sometimes like a tiny boat being tossed unmercifully about by the storms of life. Keep us steady, and happy no matter what our circumstances may be. Help us to remember it’s “All about YOU.” It’s not “all about US.” In Your Name, the Name above all names. Amen and Amen

Matthew 10:22

You will be hated by everyone on account of My name, but the one who perseveres to the end will be saved.

Matthew 24:12

Because of the multiplication of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold.

Revelation 17:14

They will make war against the Lamb, and the Lamb will triumph over them, because He is Lord of lords and King of kings; and He will be accompanied by His called and chosen and faithful ones.”

In the past two days I have prayed and inquired of the Lord the direction He wants to take my ministry.

God impressed me with going back to the first format He gave me in the beginning of my online ministry in 2001, just prior to 9/11/2001. I was called at that time to help restore and continuously build up Christian’s who are finding it hard to stand. The scriptures above are a few of the scriptures of confirmation God gave me recently about the battering of Christians in the last days.

God called us to be fishers of men. Satan, knowing his time is short, has put a time of severe testing on the people of God. When your whole world is falling apart, when Satan attacks your mind, finances, health and children it’s hard to find the strength to help and build up others in faith. Of course, that’s why he does it.

It’s time to stick together, brothers and sisters, there is strength in numbers. We must put others before ourselves and help them to stand strong. The body of believers should    work together to meet the physical and emotional needs of others. 

It concerns me that I am seeing people get saved one day and the next day they set up online ministries. Here are a few things I have seen, from some of these new believers, that concerned me; one woman, with a large following, told people that they should not pray for believers who are having hard situations. She said God is punishing them and to quit praying for them. Folks that’s wrong theology that is not biblically based. Another newbie was telling people that they should not quote scripture verses to others. Again, wrong theology! Test the spirits, do not believe anything that does not line up with the Word Of God. 

Before we minister to others God calls us and anoints us. Just because we “want” to do something is not good enough. God will anoint and equip those he genuinely calls.

Next, it’s becoming harder and harder to minister on FB. The algorithms are literally killing ministries. If you are interested in being a part of our online ministry please follow us by going to Wisdom of The Cooing Dove and signing up to get our blogs. My other website is Help For God’s Hurting People. You can contact me through that one for prayer.

I may come off of FB entirely. I am still praying about it. If I do, and you are interested in daily encouragement, please go to one of the websites I listed above and sign up to get encouragement in your email box. We do not spam people or give their email address to anyone else!

In the beginning of our online ministry God directed us to meet the needs of others who were loyal ministry members. A few of the things we did were the following; pay to have a woman’s oven fixed, pay to get a new air conditioner for a disabled woman in California, pay utility bills for desperate people, buy food for hungry children, help women get in a place of their  own who were homeless due to domestic violence. We would love to be able to do these things again but because of money grabbing ministers buying huge homes and fancy cars all ministry has had a decrease in donations. We hope God will lead folks to donate for these things again and we have a donation button on the Help For God’s Hurting People website.

Chuck, my husband, and I are praying about online videos or FB live to minister to others. Chuck is my covering. He and I share ministry and prayer for others. We do personal bible study, as God leads us, together during the week. Through all the things sent to us, meant to destroy us, we have been held up by God! Truthfully, these things have been growth opportunities. It sounds crazy, but we thank God for them, for that reason!

So that’s what’s on my mind this morning. God has brought many mature Christians to minister online to me too and   I thank God for their friendship. We share their messages too. If I share one of their encouraging words it’s because God has revealed their heart to me. On the other hand I have had to unfollow a few folks recently because of Godly discernment, just FYI. Keep in mind that my personal FB account has both saved and unsaved friends. I having been praying about just having my Wisdom Of The Cooing Dove FB page. If I do I will let you know.

In His Unconditional Love and Service,

Cathie Miller
