A Night to Remember
Last night we had the privilege of hosting Jonathan Stockstill and the Deluge Band. The church was packed with passionate worshippers and the Glory of God filled the room.
As we got into the thick of things, I could not help but sit there and weep. I was overwhelmed by the presence of God as I began sensing something prophetic happening. Jonathan began to prophecy in song over our church and the city of Orlando. The Word of the Lord was for the heavens to be open. Signs, wonders, and miracles are going to increase. I know that there was a release of things that we do not even realize or understand yet. Only time will tell how much was truly accomplished in the spirit. I am so thankful for Jonathan's obedience and ability to flow in the river of God's Spirit.
I am confident that every person present, was impacted and touched by His Glory. We truly went to the throne last night. We sat at the feet of Jesus. We will never be the same. It truly was a night to remember!

You Definitely Want to Read This!
This week I had the privilege of being a guest on TBN's "Praise The Lord" from Miami. Pastor Rich Wilkerson and his son hosted. The other guests that night were great men of God, including Pastor Larry Stockstill. There was definitely a precious anointing present throughout the entire broadcast. We know that when the Lord is present, there will always be fruit to verify and confirm that presence.
I am overwhelmed by the response we have received. Hundreds of prayer request have been pouring in from around the country and nations from around the world. What an honor to pray with the hurting and broken. Join with me in expecting God to meet every need.
We have also received many testimonies from the program. During the broadcast I felt led to tell the viewers that their mountain knows their voice. As many began to speak to the mountain of sickness, financial lack, and troubled marriages, miracles began to happen. Many have testified to being physically healed. Others had major financial breakthrough within 24 hrs of watching the program.
The greatest testimony came from a man who was 2 weeks away from becoming the high priest in a satanic cult. As he came home from work, he turned on the TV. Guess what was on? That's right. The TBN program. He could not turn the channel. As I began to talk about the cross and the Holy Spirit, the room filled with a bright light. A man with fire in his eyes and holes in his hands and feet stood before him. A voice came saying, "I am Jesus, the Messiah." Our precious Lord Jesus revealed himself to this man. Jesus spoke to him and said, " I love you and always have. I have called you even before you were born. The harvest is ripe and I am calling you to help reap it."
While this was happening, the man recalled that demons began to leave him as they violently screamed. The women who lives with him, came home around this time, and recalled a sweet smell upon entering the house. Then she was overwhelmed with a great sense of love. As she walked into the living room, she saw the young man weeping and speaking in an unknown language! By the way this women was healed of diabetes at that moment and has not taking insulin since.
After this visitation from Jesus, this man told members of the cult what had happened to him. 3 high priest from the cult, came to talk with him and collect the satanic bible that he had in his possession. He refused to give it back and told them that he was bringing it to me to burn it! While he talked to them, the love of God overwhelmed them. He led all 3 of them to Jesus!
This testimony is one of the greatest I have ever heard. This is what Christian TV should be doing. This is why we need networks like TBN. God used that program as a means to bring healing, blessing, salvation, and deliverance. Especially for that young man who was on his way to being a satanic high priest. Take that devil! You lost again. To God be the Glory!
1 Cor 15: 57 But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

Week of Harvesting!
As I mentioned in the last blog, Cristina and I were on the road for a week of ministry. The Lord moved so powerfully during our services in Detroit and Canada. In Detroit, we saw hundreds of people healed in a moment's time. I mean it happened in a split second. I asked those who knew that they were healed to raise there hands and literally hundreds of people raised their hands at once. I have never seen God heal so many people at one time so quickly.
Over 600 souls came to the Lord during our trip! People flooded the altar with tears of repentance as the blood of Jesus washed over them. We rejoiced over all the healing miracles, but nothing compared to the joy of seeing all those souls saved.
It was definitely a week of great success. Winning the lost and bringing them to the foot of the cross is what ministry is all about. To God be the Glory!
John 12:32 And when I am lifted up on the cross, I will draw everyone to myself."

On the Road Again!
This Thursday Cristina and I will be headed on a week long ministry trip. We will be in Detroit Thursday through Sunday and then Monday, off to Canada. It will be a busy week, but I am looking forward to all that God is going to do.
To start off, we will be ministering at a youth conference in Detroit. God is doing something in and through this next generation. I feel strongly that the Lord has given me a word that will challenge and inspire these young people. I am also expecting many salvations!
We will also be with two great churches on Sunday. In the morning we will be with Bishop Iona Locke. She is an amazing woman of God who is doing a great work for the Lord. I have had the privilege of speaking at her church before. It is an honor to return to her pulpit.
In the evening, I will be ministering for Pastor J. Drew Sheard. I have not had the chance to meet this wonderful pastor yet, but I have heard great things about him and his family. I know that he has a tremendous ministry and has built up a great work in the Detroit area. I am anxious to get there and see for myself all that God is doing.
Monday, we are off to Canada. I will be speaking at a conference Monday and Tuesday night. I am anticipating a great move of the Holy Spirit. I count it a privilege to be able to go to another country and share the message of Jesus Christ. God is going to do mighty things during those two days.
Pray and agree that the Lord will use us in a powerful way. I cannot wait to report back to you, all that will have happened on this trip!
Mark 16:15-18
15 And then he told them, "Go into all the world and preach the Good News to everyone, everywhere. 16 Anyone who believes and is baptized will be saved. But anyone who refuses to believe will be condemned. 17 These signs will accompany those who believe: They will cast out demons in my name, and they will speak new languages. 18 They will be able to handle snakes with safety, and if they drink anything poisonous, it won't hurt them. They will be able to place their hands on the sick and heal them." NLT

Where Have I Been?
It's a good question. It seems like a lifetime since my last blog and I am sure some of you have given up on me. We have been extremely busy over the last few weeks. Between organizing ministry trips, planning services, overseeing ministries, and traveling, I have not even had the time to keep up with my fellow bloggers.
The past few weeks have been exciting for the church. God is releasing a fresh revelation of the principles of praise. I can't believe what I am seeing in lives of the members at NBHC. They have a become a wild and radical people who have lost all inhibitions.
We are also seeing a restoration of authority in the individual lives of the church. People are beginning to declare and decree, and heaven is backing them up!
This is truly an exciting season that we are in. I anticipate an ever increasing outpouring of God's Spirit.
Oh yeah, make sure you check out our new website! www.jonathanmillerministries.com

Happy Anniversary!
This Thursday, June 12, Cristina and I will be celebrating our 4th anniversary. It seems like only yesterday we stood before God and family to pledge our lives to one another. I can honestly say that I am more in love with her today than I was the day we married. At that time it did not seem possible to ever love her more than I already did, but somehow she has continued to capture my heart and helped me experience a love that I never dreamed possible.
I know that to some married couples, 4 years may not seem like much of an accomplishment. But for me, it's hard to believe that someone has survived me for this long of a time. Cristina has a lot more years to go, but so far so good. She is definitely the one that God called to be by my side. I am convinced that no one on this planet could be a better support, voice of wisdom, and friend than what she has been to me. She has loved me unconditionally. She is the source of my strength. She is my inspiration. She is my best friend. And as an added bonus, she also happens to be the most beautiful creature I have ever seen! How blessed am I?
I want to thank my wife for all her love, care, and support. She means the world to me and I am so thankful to God for this precious gift. He really out did himself! I look forward to a lifetime of loving her. Someday soon we will have children. I know that she will be the best mother in the world. I cannot wait to be a father to her children. It has been my greatest honor to be her husband, and what an honor it will be to father her children.
My scripture for this blog is Proverbs 31:11-29. It's Cristina's bio! Check it out.

Greater Glory
Over the past few weeks there has been a stirring in my spirit. I have been longing for a greater demonstration of God's Glory.
Often times we confuse God's presence with His glory. The presence of God is quite different than His glory. The presence reveals what God does, while the glory reveals who He is. God's presence is like His fragrance while the glory is His essence. When we stand in the presence of the Lord, we stand next to Him, but when the glory is revealed we stand in Him. Presence changes things but the glory changes lives. It is the nature of God revealed. Look at 2 Corinthians 3:18. It is when we see and have an encounter with His glory that we are changed into the same image of Him.
This is what I have been longing for. Oh to see the church filled with His glory. I am not interested in seeking sign and wonders, although they are a necessary part of the kingdom. I am not interested in favor, wealth, or promotion. I want to see the glory of Almighty God revealed in an unprecedented way!
If you were unable to attend this past Sunday night service, you missed something incredible. The cry of my heart was answered and I know that it was only the beginning. I am thankful for God's presence, but will not be satisfied with anything less than His glory. I encourage you to get the message from that service. There are revelations and truths explained in the sermon, that I could never find the words to write. I know your faith will be stirred and your heart will long for His glory.

A Fresh Anointing
My wife and I are just getting settled in after an amazing trip to the UK. I want to thank all of you for your prayers and support. What the Lord did during our meetings there cannot be adequately described through words. It was absolutely awesome.
We arrived in London last Tuesday and began Wednesday with five straight days of ministry. From the very first service it was obvious that God was releasing us into a new level of the anointing. There was a hunger in the people that I have never seen before. There was a pull and a demand for the prophetic anointing. I soon realized that I was not sent there to operate in the gift of an evangelist or that of a pastor. God had graciously put a prophetic mantle on me for this assignment.
Something new was released in England this past week. I can sense the beginnings of revival. My wife and I are already planning a return trip in October. We must strike while the iron is hot. God has opened a door for our ministry there and we must seize the moment.
We will share more details of our trip this Thursday night and Sunday morning . It will be so wonderful to see all of you again. As much as we enjoyed our stay in the UK, there is no place like home. We missed all of you!

Off to England!
This Monday my wife and I will be going to London, England for a week of ministry. We will be in 5 different churches in the London area. We will be holding healing services twice in one of the churches Thursday night and Sunday night. The Lord has also opened the door for us to appear as guests on Revelation TV two different days during our stay. Revelation is one of the biggest Christian networks in all of Europe. You can follow our schedule by looking at the web site, www.jonathanmillerministries.com
It has been over a year since the time the the Lord first put England on our hearts. We were supposed to go last year, and it just did not work out. But, now our tickets are booked, churches are lined up, and we are ready to go.
I am expecting a mighty move of the Holy Spirit next week. I know that God will bring healing to the sick and salvation to the lost. I am also feeling a strong prophetic burden for the people of England. God's Word will go forth. The fire of the Holy Ghost will fall and the river of the Lord will freely flow.
Cristina and I are asking that you stand in prayer for us this entire week. Your prayers are important as they bring increased strength and divine breakthrough. I eagerly await our return so we can share with you all that our Lord has done. I know this is our first ministry trip across sea, but it definitely will not be the last. Look out England, here we come!

Evangelism Explosion!
In the last two weeks our witnessing teams have led over 600 people to the Lord! As I mentioned in the last blog, we joined forces with Pastor Rodney and the Great Awakening team in a city wide evangelistic outreach. Since then, our church has caught the Holy fire of evangelism and are continuing to take the gospel to the streets. Our college group won 74 souls in just 1 hour of time this past Friday. On Saturday we sent out another group of 40 people and they won 150.
On Easter Sunday, the fruit of our labor was evident, as many of those won on the streets attended our service. Many of them were filled with the Holy Ghost and now awaiting water baptism. How exciting!
As a pastor, I could not be more proud of the people of New Beginnings. Even though soul winning can be a difficult, scary, and trying experience, we have forged on and taken the devil's kingdom by storm. I can only expect this fire to burn more fervently as we continue on.
Matt 9:37-38 He said to his disciples, "The harvest is so great, but the workers are so few. 38 So pray to the Lord who is in charge of the harvest; ask him to send out more workers for his fields." NLT

Harvest Week!
This past week our church joined Pastor Rodney Howard Browne and the Great Awakening Team for a week of soul winning. The street witnessing started on Monday and concluded Saturday.
A few months ago when I heard of this upcoming outreach, my Spirit was stirred. I sensed that something great would happen, not just for the community of Orlando, but also in our local body.
My expectations paled in comparison to the reality of what happened. 20,000 people gave their life to the Lord in just one week! Our team of people were responsible for leading over 400 to the Lord. One precious lady in our church led 66 people in the prayer of salvation. All of this taking place on the streets. Wal-Mart, grocery stores, apartment buildings, and city parks all became a field ripe unto harvest.
I am thankful for someone like Pastor Rodney who has heard the heartbeat of God and is in pursuit of His passion. Our city and church will never be the same. Those who went into the streets have now tasted of the fulfilling feeling that comes when leading someone to the Lord. Soul winning will be a part of our culture at New Beginnings. It will become a way of life. A fire has been lit and a passion has been released. Look out devil!
I am convinced that this is what will bring revival. Jesus did not command to go into the churches and compel them to come in. He commanded that we go into the highways and streets. Many times churches just exchange fruit instead of bearing new fruit. Revival will never come this way. It will happen as sheep begin bearing sheep. This has started happening at New Beginning. Revival is just around the corner!
Luke 14:23 Then the master said to the servant, 'Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled.

Faithful God!
Yesterday we had the privilege of hosting Dr. Ed Nelson at New Beginnings. He ministered during our am and pm services. Both were incredible! Dr. Nelson has an understanding of the Word that is rare. As he shared from both his knowledge and revelation of the Word, many lives were touched.
I would love to share with you what he preached during both service, but there is no way that I can put into text all that was said. I would not know where to begin. If you were in the services yesterday, you can understand the difficulty of that.
I thank God for sending Dr. Nelson to us in a time most needed. Many of our people are facing the issues and struggles that he addressed yesterday. It seems no matter how hard things get at times, God always sends a messenger with a word that is perfect in it's timing.
We must always remember that God cares for us. He cares more for us than we are capable of comprehending. It is His desire to prosper us in every way. He takes joy in favoring us.
God is faithful!
Phil 1:6

I would love to share with you what he preached during both service, but there is no way that I can put into text all that was said. I would not know where to begin. If you were in the services yesterday, you can understand the difficulty of that.
I thank God for sending Dr. Nelson to us in a time most needed. Many of our people are facing the issues and struggles that he addressed yesterday. It seems no matter how hard things get at times, God always sends a messenger with a word that is perfect in it's timing.
We must always remember that God cares for us. He cares more for us than we are capable of comprehending. It is His desire to prosper us in every way. He takes joy in favoring us.
God is faithful!
Phil 1:6

Urgent!
As you all know Pastor Amy Stockstill has been in a battle for her life. The church family of New Beginnings along with Bethany and many other churches, fasted for a week for her divine healing.
Over this past weekend things took a turn for the worse. The report of the doctors is nothing short of hopeless. Now I am asking you to stand and pray like never before. This is not the time to back off and lessen our warfare on the the demonic powers that are assigned to take her life.
The next few days are crucial. Please contninue to fast,pray, and declare the Word of the Lord. We need to rally around the Stockstill and Hart families to win this battle once and for all. PRAY!
Eph 6:10-13
10 A final word: Be strong with the Lord's mighty power. 11 Put on all of God's armor so that you will be able to stand firm against all strategies and tricks of the Devil. 12 For we are not fighting against people made of flesh and blood, but against the evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against those mighty powers of darkness who rule this world, and against wicked spirits in the heavenly realms.
13 Use every piece of God's armor to resist the enemy in the time of evil, so that after the battle you will still be standing firm

Urgent Prayer!
I am asking that all who read this join Cristina and I in a week of fasting and prayer. We are specifically praying for the healing of our dear friend Amy Stockstill. The battle has intensified and now it's time that our prayers and efforts intensify. Pastors Joel and Amy are very precious and anointed people. God has an incredible plan for their lives. The enemy has launched a major offensive to take them out. But we know that God's plan and purpose will prevail!
The church family of Bethany and church people around the country are joining in this week of fasting and prayer. Our congregation needs to join their efforts. I want you to get into the battle and be a part of bringing this situation to the throne of God. I believe that we will see absolute and total victory in this matter. To God be the glory!
Please leave a comment in regards to your willingness to pray this week. You can also send a word of encouragement to Pastors Joel and Amy by going to www.joelstockstill.com.
Mark 11:22-25
22 Then Jesus said to the disciples, "Have faith in God. 23 I assure you that you can say to this mountain, 'May God lift you up and throw you into the sea,' and your command will be obeyed. All that's required is that you really believe and do not doubt in your heart. 24 Listen to me! You can pray for anything, and if you believe, you will have it. NLT

Message for the New Year!
2007 was a year of preparation and completion for New Beginnings Healing Center. Ministries were established and leaders were equipped. As with Nehemiah, we had a group of people with a mind to work, build, and establish. A place of peace and fulfillment had to be prepared for the many that are seeking for a church to call "home". I feel that in '07 that assignment was successfully accomplished.
The number 7 speaks of completion. I know that as a church we entered into that phase of completion this past year. At the end of this phase for Nehemiah, he had to begin setting his sights on populating the city that had been prepared. In Nehemiah 7 he finds a register of names. This list consisted of the families that came with Ezra just a few years before. These freed Jews tried to build and establish themselves as a people, but had no success. The enemy would come and destroy any progress that they made. This continued for 7 years. Then God raised up Nehemiah to build and finish the work. The enemy would no longer be successful in thwarting their efforts. At the beginning of the 8th year, Nehemiah was ready to call the names of those on the register to re-populate the city.
Can you imagine the joy of those who were on the list? For 8 years they fought to be established but had no place to call home. They must have felt forgotten and insignificant. Maybe some even lost hope in that they would ever have a place of establishment and peace. But in the beginning of the 8th year, God put an end to that! I believe that is what He is doing in Orlando in 2008. He is calling the names of those in this region who have felt forgotten and neglected, those who have not had a place of peace and rest. He will populate His city and church with those who are on that list.
2008 will be a year of surplus. One definition for the number eight is: a surplus above the perfect number 7. This year, we will see a surplus above perfection!
2008 is a year to look forward to the future and not back to the past. In Acts 1:10-11, the disciples were looking up into the clouds where they had last seen Jesus. The 2 angels asked them why they were still gazing up toward the heavens. I believe there is great significance in this question. Before Jesus was taken up, He told the disciples that He was sending one after Him. A new dispensation of "Himself" was to be released through the person of the Holy Spirit. Why were they wasting their time looking at what was, when they should have been in the upper room preparing for what was to come. Many in the body of Christ are hung up on the "yesterday" move of the spirit. They constantly dwell on and reminisce of the past. It is time to look toward the future. God is ready to do something beyond what has ever been seen. We cannot waste time looking back. We must prepare to move forward. The best is yet to come!
Hag 2:9, "The future glory of this Temple will be greater than its past glory, says the LORD Almighty. And in this place I will bring peace. I, the LORD Almighty, have spoken!"
