JOHN: What’s it called? Is it arthritis or something?

WOMAN #4: I’m sure it’s some arthritis.

JOHN: How far can you raise your arms?

WOMAN #4: I can raise them.

JOHN: But it’s painful, is it?

WOMAN #4: But it’s very stiff and it’s hard to turn and it comes and goes.

JOHN: Wow.

JOHN: Do you have pain in your neck now? Right now?

WOMAN #4: I’m very stiff and it’s achy and it crunches a lot.

JOHN: And what’s your name?

WOMAN #4: Florence.

JOHN: Hah! What a lovely name! Can we pray for Florence? Phew! Phew! Set her free now in Jesus’ name! Get off that body! Out! Set Florence free right now! Phew! Hey mate, get up. Hey mate! Raise your arms! Look at that! Have you forgiven the horse!  

MAN #1: Yes!

JOHN: Shooh!

MAN #1: [Laughing]

JOHN: Phew! And God’s going to keep touching you, mate! Phew! You’re a good sport! The power of God’s going to keep flowing through you! Phew! Phew! Ahh! Phew! Mate, watch out! Help this lady up here!  Fellas, help her up! Excuse me! Phew! Choooh! Choooh! Choooh! Choooh! Help her up!

AUDIENCE: [Laughter]  

JOHN: Hey, ma’am! Move your neck! Move your neck! How’s that? 

WOMAN #4: Better! Much better!

JOHN: Isn’t it amazing??

WOMAN #4: Yes, it is!

JOHN: Try your body now. How’s that?

WOMAN #4: Yeah!

JOHN: Is it gone now?

WOMAN #4: It’s still a little creaky cracky!

JOHN: Creaky! Shoooh!

AUDIENCE: [Laughter]   

JOHN: No more creaky crackies! No more creaky crackies in Jesus’ name! You know in Australia we have a cereal called “cocoa pops!” They’re cocoa pops as in snap, crackle and pop?  

AUDIENCE: Yes.

JOHN: And as soon as I pray in Jesus’ name all snap, crackle and pop — choooh! Phew! Phew! Can you move your neck now, ma’am? How’s that?

WOMAN #4: Much better!

JOHN: Wow!

WOMAN #4: Yes, much better! Uh-huh! 

JOHN: Isn’t it amazing?   

WOMAN #4: Yes, it is!

JOHN: Isn’t God good?

WOMAN #4: Yes, He is!

JOHN: Hey, God bless you!

AUDIENCE: [Clapping]

JOHN: Let’s help this bloke up out of here. Hey mate! Choooh! Choooh! Shoooh! It that higher than before?  

MAN #1: It is!

JOHN: God’s going to keep û is the pain gone?

MAN #1: The pain’s gone! 

JOHN: God’s going to keep touching you, mate! That’s going to keep loosening up as you sit in your seat! As you sit in your seat! But somebody else here. That lady before you’ve got in your abdomen, man, it’s so tender and painful. Man, right now. And you know where are you? You need a miracle! You feel it right now in your abdomen. So where are you? God wants to heal that. Hey ma’am, just come out here. Yes. See in Australia we don’t call ladies “ma’am.” This is an American term so I’ve gotten used to saying “ma’am” the last few weeks. 

AUDIENCE: [Laughter]

JOHN: It sounds good. Ma’am. I think it sounds good. Ma’am. Do you think it sounds good?

AUDIENCE: Yes.

JOHN: It sounds great! Hey g’day! What’s up with you?  

WOMAN #5: I’m okay except sometimes I do have this pain over in left side. I did have surgery one time and the doctors say it is probably okay but I still have pain.

SID: What about cancer? Are you seeing much victory there?

JOSHUA: You know what? I would like to see more, and we’re pressing in for that, for the more. But we have had so many amazing reports of people being healed from cancer. I was ministering down in Phoenix Arizona a few years ago and the oil began to flow from my hands and we had everybody that was in the meetings line up so that I could lay hands upon them and believe God with them for their miracle and there was a man who was suffering with terminally, terminal cancer. And I laid my hands on him and he came back with a report, about a month later a report of complete healing, he was completely cancer free. God had done a supernatural miracle in his life. And not only did he get healed of cancer but after he had received prayer that night he wanted to give his life to Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior and he actually accepted the Lord into his life and that’s the greatest miracle of all!

SID: I love it when non-believers receive a physical healing

JOSHUA: Right. (LAUGHING)

 SID: And then it’s very easy to lead them to the Lord.

JOSHUA: Right.

SID: But guess what? That’s the way Jesus did it!

JOSHUA: Right.

SID: That’s normal. The world has to be NORMAL! It’s gotten away from normal. Read the Book! That’s normal. Anything short of that you can say God changed, except the Book says God doesn’t change. “He’s the same yesterday, today and forever.” Joshua I’m going to ask you to do something without any music. If you were by yourself and you began to think of your brand new little baby girl and all the blessings of God in your life, I want you to worship God the way you would do that right now so you kind of demonstrate for us.

JOSHUA: You know what I would do is in those times of just recognizing and thanking God for the miracles that He’s given me in my life, I just begin to just from my heart just begin to sing, just begin from my heart just releasing a song of praise and oftentimes it’s so simple anybody really could do it. But that’s the wonder of it. God isn’t looking for a complicated worship or a complicated praise. He’s just looking for that song that comes right from our heart.

[JOSHUA SINGS]

 I sing Lord, I thank You for the glory and the blessings that You’ve given to me every day. Lord, I thank You for Your glory and for Your blessings that You’ve given to me. You’re a good God. And You’re an awesome God. Lord, I thank You for Your blessings. You’re a good God. You’re an awesome God. Lord, I thank You for Your blessings. Something like that.

SID: Now tell me this Joshua. Do you it’s one thing to do this publicly as you just did.

JOSHUA: Right.

SID: Do you really worship God like this?

JOSHUA: All the time, all the time! From the time I wake up to the time I go to sleep. All day long I’ve got a song in my heart!

JOSHUA: I couldn’t. I could not. I was absolutely overcome by the Spirit of God. I was overwhelmed by God and it’s a really good thing because I came out of that encounter the next day with more of a hunger for God than I had ever had in my entire life. And I had more of a desire to be with God, spend time in His presence. And one of the overflows from that encounter was this overwhelming desire to praise and worship the Lord with everything that I had. To give my life to God in every single way. And I began sitting down at an old piano that we

SID: Now, but let me take you back.

JOSHUA: Sure.

SID: When you were really young you did what I did. You had piano lessons but

JOSHUA: I did. I did. (laughing)

SID: And they said about you what they should have said about me I just didn’t know and maybe they said it about me. What did they say about you? Huh!

JOSHUA: (laughing) My piano teacher actually told my mother she said you need to stop bringing Joshua to these lessons. You need to save your money. He will never, ever learn how to play the piano. That’s what she said.

SID: Okay. So you have this insatiable desire all of a sudden with this encounter you had with God

JOSHUA: Right.

SID: to worship God. So you sit at the piano knowing you can’t play it and what’s happening?

JOSHUA: And the Holy Spirit literally begins to teach me and instruct me. Just like the Bible says “He will teach you in all things.” And He literally began to teach me and instruct me in praise and worship and teach me how to play the piano. Teach me how to sing songs to Him. And I begin writing hundreds of songs, of praise and worship songs over the next year. Just these songs would just come.

SID: Had you written, had you ever written a song before?

JOSHUA: Oh gosh, probably as a little child I probably wrote something silly but I had never written praise and worship songs. I had never written anything that was significant like what was coming out of me at this time. Absolutely amazing.

SID: Speaking of significant, we have a bonus CD, one of Joshua Mill’s best. And what kind of feedback are you getting on people that listen to your music? And this is a soaking CD which means it’s pure music. And what kind of feedback are you getting?

JOSHUA: You know we had a teacher contact us from Auckland New Zealand who had been dealing with children in her school that were troubled and causing a lot of problems and she said she played the soaking CD in the classroom and she said it actually brought an atmosphere of peace and just, just totally changed the atmosphere completely when she began to play that CD. And the children’s behavior began to change. They became much more compatible, much more behaved, would listen a whole lot more. And she sent us an email just testifying about it and so excited and thanking us that we had created this resource that she could use to change the atmosphere in her workplace.

SID: Well it was supernatural that you played the piano. How long did it take from the time you were fiddling with the piano and realizing hey, I can play this thing! My teacher was wrong!

JOSHUA: (laughs) It was only a matter of months, I think about two or three months and I began to lead praise and worship as part of a youth band at our church and then from there you know it just accelerated and got more invitations to travel around and do that. And you know I’m still travelling today because of what God did in my life supernaturally when I was 16 years old.
