Some stories from Myles

I thought everyone would enjoy these stories from Myles. Myles is Maidenhead's foremost Hip Hop artist and was in my Guys discipleship group before heading off to London to do a recording and business degree...

I'll let Myles tell the stories in his own words as they are so much better than mine!


Hey man.

Here are the two stories that are good from the last week or two.

I was at a hip hop gig, that i was doing a few tracks at. Before I went on stage I was hanging out with some mates, having a drink etc. We decided to sit down on the floor, it was a nice day and it was more of a festival so lots of people were sitting and listening to the artists currently on stage. When we sat, one of my friends friends started telling me he was going to stand cos he isnt able to sit very comfortably because of all these various problems he has with his back, i wasnt really listening to the problems because they were numerous and to be honest I didnt really care that much, sometimes i prefer to just hear vaguely what is going on cos it means i am less involved in the healing and its more Jesus. The most serious problem he had was that two lowest vertabre of his spine were fused together, i dont even know what that means but it sounds bad. I dunno how long he has been suffering, several years i think. He had stopped seeking medical attention cos ... dunno he just gave up.

So I prayed .... twice. To no avail. I asked him to check it out and do something that caused him pain - which still did infact caused him pain. Since he is not a chirstian and was on week 4 of the alpha course I didnt wanna freak him by going for round three of prayer so i just allowed it and asured him that his healing will come.

So the next evening I was at church in London, and I was suprised to see him walk into church half way through church, half way through the sermon. I raised an eyebrow to say wassup to him and thought 'cool he came to church' I was also thinking that he is gonna get freaked out cos it was pentacost sunday and it normally gets pretty hectic round this church on that particular sunday - it did. We had quite a long time where we were just waiting on Holy Spirit to turn up and move, about 10 mins of silence ... thats quite a long time. Then it became quite apparant that Spirit was moving.

I was busy praying for people, giving a few words etc I was on minstry team that night. All of a suddent the guy i prayed for yesterday, whom i had totally forgotton was even at church, came running up to me - totally hyped that "GOD IS INSIDE OF ME" all like "I can feel him in me ... and LOOK (bending over in a funny way backwards etc side to side)" he had been completly healed by Father during the worship / ministry time.

It was nice because I wasnt really involved at all. I like that. Its nice. Father knows my head is big enough already.


The other, was only on monday. I was at church again. We have a big conference all this week with about 1000 delagates from over 150 countries. So everyone who is on team helping in any way was sent this long email asking us to dress smartly and approptiately etc. So I wore a shirt and shoes and pulled my trousers up, not to offend the archbishiops etc .... whatever. The email was also saying about correct maner for prayer ministry, but i already know all about that non biblical teaching on men praying for men and women for women etc. What a load of poop ... but i understand the importance of it etc but when Spirit leads us you cant ignore it.

So i was walking around giving words to people and proohecying for a couple of peeps. A I saw a lady that Father had kind of highlighted to me earlier who put her hand up to respond to a word of knowledge that Sandy Millar had about a person with sharp pains in your neck, loss of sleep etc. So i asked her is she was healed and she said no. So i just went straight in and prayed for her, not thinking about the 'rules' and its kind of important that we follow the rules cos its and aloha trainging confernece so they want to model the right way to do things etc. So i was praying for her, quite a short prayer, releasing heaven etc. And when i finished I asked how it was and she rung her neck round very quickly looking up at me being like "its better its better" moving her head round and round very violently. Her english was bad so i didnt get the details but i saw her later cruising round telling people and giving me a huge thumbs up. She really experienced the Love of Father, I could tell. I was almost better than the actual healing, just seeing her minister to other people and the radience of joy all over her was obvious. I Love seeing Daddy Love people. He Loves loving his children.

Thats it man. Ive been crying all the way though most of the writing of this, it gets me so bad man. Especially talking about God loving people. its too much man. i want more. every day.

See u soon man. Ill be in contact to hang out sometime brother. Let me know if you are ministering in London anytime man. I feel like i have broken into a new level of something. Im so up for praying for sick people.

Something old, something new

Hi World...

First my something new... I was at a new Church Plant in Bromley on Saturday night with Andy Read ... it was a great time, while a small group this is a group hungry for the presence of Jesus. There was a great atmosphere of faith in worship and a freedom in the ministry. Some confirmed words of knowledge in the room. Please pray for this plant and Russell and Gerri who are leading it.

Also I thought I would mention a couple of healings from last month at the Marlow Congregation of River Church's weekend away...

First, Karen had had a lump and pain in her shin for months from a horse kick, the pain prevented her running. We prayed on the Saturday night and the lump and the pain dissappeared by the next morning.

Second, there was Beryl, who's leg got healed while I was preaching, months of pain and stiffness just went and she showed me afterwards how she had full free movement.

I am posting these stories not as proof for those that are sceptical but as a testimony of the love and care of Jesus even in the small things.

Of course there are others that we still need to see breakthrough on for healing. So if you would I would ask you to pray for me as I have opportunity to pray for others, but also from time to time I will ask you to pray for a specific situation... At the moment I would ask you to pray for a teenager with ulcerative collitis... we really want to see him healed. I have another friend Andrew who was healed from a severe IBS and wheat intolerance a year and half ago, but this is a more extreme situation and as yet we haven't seen the breakthrough.

FW: detached retina healed

I'm at a leaders meeting, just heard from Julian from Cornerstone church in Swansea.

A lady in a church in Bridge End was healed a couple of weeks ago from a detached retina she had suffered after a long haul flight, she described it as having a patch over her eye. After prayer for healing she could see normally.

First Post

Hi world,

I'm new to blogging... but I love story telling and so that's what this space will be all about. At some point I'll tell you my own story in detail, it will explain why I have the emphasis I do ... but in short... at age 15 I was given three months to live when I was diagnosed with an advanced non-hodgkins lymphoma... That was over 25 years ago... Jesus healed me! ... and I experienced God as Father in a way I had not done before. It changed everything about my life and expectations. So today I lead a church, here at River Church we pray for the sick a lot and see many people healed... not all ... but we are always pushing for more but enough to know Jesus is with us.

Every week there will be stories of the supernatural breaking into peoples lives from around the church, sometime the healing seem big and dramatic but often they seem small to everyone except the person who's body has just been released from a long term pain or limitation.
So here's my starter posting...

Stories I have heard this week... we just had a team come back from Albania, the trip was part of our training course, the Big Year. I will post a more full report as the team are writing one, but headlines where over 30 people where healed, the first was sitting next to one of the trainees (Simon) on the plane, This man had just had an operation to remove a number of fatty lumps, he was in a lot of pain and couldn't lift his arms, Simon and another trip member Dave prayed for him on the flight, he felt tingling all over his body and the pain went and full movement came back to his arms.

Another notable healing happened in a church in Elbasan. A man in his early thirties had a paralysed arm from a brain haemorage, Tom T had been teaching the children of the church how to pray for the sick so people where asked to stand and the children went over and prayed for them. This man stood and was prayed for and movement came back to his lifeless arm, he was able to lift it above his head...

I'll post more details shortly...

Closer to home ...
I just heard yesterday that a man with sever arthritis that I prayed for in Bridport a couple of weeks ago has experienced an 80% improvement... As I continue with my blog I hope to explore how to turn partial healings into full healings, plus to think about why sometimes we don't get the breakthrough they are looking for.

This Sunday I saw Vannessa, who I had prayed for the week before, she had been in sever pain from an old riding accident. The pain lifted as soon as we prayed, with just a small ache in one part of her back.

This is normal Christian life... it's great!

Sometimes I'll post prayer requests as well so please pray for folks and become part of their testimony...
