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
6 And I am convinced and sure of this very thing, that He Who began a good work in you will continue until the day of Jesus Christ [right up to the time of His return], developing [that good work] and perfecting and bringing it to full completion in you.AMP

Ps 61:2 "From the end of the earth will I cry unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I."

Dearest Friend,

It is with great sadness that I come to you with the news about our precious friend, Amy Stockstill. On Monday night, February 11, 2008 at 9:40p.m., she went home to be with Jesus.
My precious wife and I were with the Stockstill family at the hospital during this most difficult time. While our hearts are breaking, we rejoice in our blessed hope. Amy is in heaven in the presence of our awesome God! We appreciate your standing with the Stockstill family during this intense battle. Amy has received the ultimate victory. Please continue to pray for the family as they still need your prayers.

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
