Chaplain & Mrs. John Miller, P. O. Box 40387, Redford, MI 48240 Questions? Fax us at (313) 387-4651 PEOPLE WHO REALLY HATE Y J U 2/98 Dear Friend,

My wife Phyllis and I, have been privileged to be in the ministry for over 35 years, including over 15 years with The Salvation Army where we served over 7 years as Salvation Army Officers and 8 years as the Chaplain in Salvation Army Adult Rehabilitation Centers in the Detroit area.

Ministering to the hurting and disenfranchised is our calling and passion! My personal battle some years ago and ultimate victory over low self esteem and stress related problems, helps us to understand those with similar struggles. Over the last several years, with the help of my dear wife, we've produced special inspirational written materials with the express purpose of helping people overcome habits, stress, depression, set-backs and other problems.

Take advantage of the 'Immediate help for you' section following this welcome letter, which will give you a head start on the road to maximized living! It's taken from the front page of our Overcomer's Pocket Guide. Also on this web site, we have included my personal testimony - 'From defeat to victory' part one, and part two which includes the sharing of some of our primary teaching on the soul, and how this revelation has transformed my life!

The summation of our ministry is represented in 'The Overcomer's Maximized Living System'. This power packed inspirational resource is an 8 1/2 x 11, deluxe, 3 ring bound, 50 page syllabus, prayerfully written to help you achieve maximized living! Following the introduction, it's sectioned off into five major subject divisions which are...

2. 'Instruction' - for learning the key principles and precepts involved in training the soul.

4. 'Inspiration' - to bless and inspire you with poems, hymns, songs, testimonials and more.

5. 'Revelation' - an 8 week Bible study and classic scripture guide, covering over 100 subjects, complete with index.

The system also includes - a personal 80 page journal for you to record your inspired thoughts, prayers, goals and progress, plus the 'Overcomer's Pocket Guide' and a dynamic cassette tape we've recorded to inspire and help motivate you to overcome every obstacle, succeed in life, discover your destiny and find the fulfillment you desire!

When you order, be sure and share your prayer requests with us and any special struggles you're going through so we can provide you with a personalized response, prayerful council, and specific suggestions on how to get the most out of the system, to see that your specific and personal needs are effectively addressed.

If you know someone who's hurting, depressed, battling a habit, has low self esteem, or just seems to be forever struggling to make it in life; please send them our way. I'm sure that something on our web site or in the 'Overcomer's Maximized Living System' we offer, will revitalize and motivate them to believe and achieve more for themselves and those they love!

IMMEDIATE HELP FOR YOU! RIGHT NOW! RIGHT HERE! - Taken from page one of the Overcomer's Pocket Guide - (comes with the Overcomer's Maximized Living System)

You are not reading this by accident! Don't give up! Millions have already proven that no matter what circumstances you find yourself in, the lasting solution to the problems and challenges of life is found through faith in Jesus Christ and the Word of God!

Case in point - over 30 million Americans are addicted to drugs and/or alcohol and while our finest hospitals and rehab treatment programs see less than 1% cured; many Christ centered programs see a success rate of over 85%! That's about 100 times or a 10,000% better chance with Christ than without Him!

Here's how to connect to the overcoming power of God and the 'Abundant Life' Christ has to offer... First, pray the 'Overcomer's Prayers' -

OVERCOMER'S PRAYER: PART ONE - DEAR GOD, I ASK YOU, TO FORGIVE MY SINS, THROUGH THE SHED BLOOD OF CHRIST, WHOM I ACCEPT, AS MY SAVIOR AND LORD. YOUR WORD DECLARES, - "HE WHOM THE SON SETS FREE, IS FREE INDEED!" THANK YOU FOR SETTING ME FREE! AND FOR YOUR WONDERFUL SALVATION! AMEN!

PART TWO: PRAYER OF RENOUNCEMENT - IN JESUS NAME, I RENOUNCE AND CLAIM VICTORY, OVER EVERY DESTRUCTIVE HABIT, NEGATIVE THOUGHT, WORD AND DEED, AND ALL HARMFUL ASSOCIATIONS. THANK YOU FOR VICTORY, THROUGH THE POWER and PRIVILEGE OF PRAYER, YOUR NAME, YOUR PRECIOUS BLOOD, YOUR WORD, AND MY TESTIMONY. I HAVE MUCH TO LEARN, TEACH ME YOUR WAYS, I HUMBLY PRAY, AMEN and AMEN !

1. MAKE TIME for - Daily Prayer, Bible study and Scripture Memorization (the guides in the Overcomer's Maximized Living System will be most helpful). Meanwhile, read a few verses from the bible each day. Begin with the sermon on the mount found in Matthew, chapters 5,6 & 7, then study the Gospel of John. Make the following affirmation as many times each day as needed - "I'm an overcomer and at peace, for Christ has overcome the world, is the Prince of Peace and dwells in me"!

2. SHARE YOUR FAITH - Print out this section of our web page to use in witnessing to others. Lead them in the "Overcomer's Prayer", give them a copy of this section along with my testimony and information on the Overcomer's Maximized Living System which will help them get established in the faith and be an overcomer.

3. LIVE A CHRIST HONORING LIFESTYLE - Keep thoughts, words and actions pleasing to the Lord. Maintain freedom from intruding harmful thoughts by renouncing each one as soon as they come to mind in Jesus Name. Use the prayer of renouncement as a pattern - asking the Lord to replace each negative emotion with His love joy and peace!

FROM DEFEAT TO VICTORY- PART ONE The story of one man's battle and triumph over stress, depression and low self esteem.

Dear Friend - You did not access this web site and vital information by accident! I share this personal testimony to offer encouragement, hope and inspiration to help you and your friends and loved ones to overcome and be triumphant in the midst of all of the troubles, trials and challenges of life!

THE CHEST PAIN was so severe, that although I was only 38 years old, I was sure I was having a heart attack! This first attack took place when we were Salvation Army Officers in St Charles Illinois where my wife Phyllis and I were responsible for a large multi-faceted social service program, the Pulpit/Pastoral care of the Corps/church and at that time, the added demands of the Christmas season, the kettle fund raising drive, food and toy distribution and much more.

MIRACLE NEEDED! If I were hospitalized, I knew that Phyllis would have everything on her, so we earnestly prayed for a miracle! And thank God, after a full days rest, I was able to resume the rigors of the Christmas schedule. Similar attacks over the next few years put me in the hospital. Each time the diagnosis was the same - 'no heart damage, just severe stress induced muscle spasms', a type of angina. The doctors warned however, that further episodes could induce a heart attack, especially since there was a history of heart trouble in my family.

We loved the ministry, yet because of the doctors urging to find an avenue of less stressful employment, we left The Salvation Army in the fall of 82 and moved to Florida. There we became involved in Conference and Church ministries which also proved stressful. In June of 84 we took a sabbatical from full time Christian work.

THE DARKEST DAYS OF MY LIFE - Once we left the ministry, my emotional and physical health went from bad to worse. For the first time in my life, I found myself unemployed and seemingly unemployable! Though I tried my best, I couldn't find work. Despondency and feelings of utter worthlessness enveloped me like a black cloud. I sank deeper and deeper into depression and despair! During the worst part (the summer of 84) I went through times of such anguish that I begged God to take my life! Those few weeks seemed like an eternity!

In desperation, I called every ministry and prayer-line I knew of at that time. The prayer counselors were great, and thanks to a supportive family and the prayers of many friends and loved ones, by the fall of 84 I was able to muster the courage to seek and secure work as a route supervisor for the Miami Herald. About a year later, we moved back to the Detroit area, which helped boost the restoration process.

LASTING VICTORY! - Over the next 6 1/2 years, I slowly learned how to apply time proven biblical principles. Through a process of much soul searching, prayer and personal study, by late 1990, I was finally able to attain and maintain lasting victory!

I now enjoy life to the full! I'm happy, healthy, content, and look forward to each new day! I'm also fulfilled and busy working on the vision and calling God has given and called us to fulfill. We believe that recovery from most any type of problem - including low self esteem, depression, obsessions, addictions, stress related illness etc. - can be complete and permanent as we actively stay connected to the power of God and his word. (Chaplain's Testimony, part two) (Meet Us at the Jesus Center) ('Maximized Living System' offer) (top of web page)

SOUL POWER - In my search for understanding and victory, one of the key things I learned, is that mental emotional strength, or what I call "Soul Power" is absolutely essential to an overcoming lifestyle! Your soul is your entire active thought process or in simplest terms - your mind. The soul is made up of six basic component parts. These include the - WILL - CONSCIENCE - REASON - IMAGINATION - MEMORY and EMOTIONS. The soul is the well spring of all human behavior - good, bad or indifferent - and is programmed and influenced by all of the people and circumstances we're exposed to from birth.

This imprint or 'life script' results in our unique and various pre-dispositions, from which come our character, value system, attitudes, behavior and in general, our response to most everything we encounter in life. Changing our 'life script' is said by many behaviorists, to be impossible, but thank God through faith, and the application of divinely inspired truth, the impossible becomes possible, for nothing is impossible with God! It begins with the healing of the memories, a process that starts the moment we believe on Jesus Christ, confess him as Savior and Lord and receive his forgiveness and salvation made possible through the price he paid on calvary.

THROUGH CHRIST'S DEATH on the cross, he bore all of our faults, failures and every sin we've ever committed; which he casts into the sea of God's forgetfulness, when we're born again, never to be remembered against us any more! He alone has the power to forgive and forget all that we've ever done wrong! The split second we accept Christ, we are set free from the guilt, penalty and condemnation of sin! Praise God Hallelujah! And... thanks to the many benefits we now enjoy as His children - including the privilege of prayer, the power of His word, and the indwelling presence and power of the Holy Spirit - we are supernaturally enabled to walk in victory over sin and to forgive anyone (including ourselves) who may have wronged us in the past.

In the Garden of Eden, mankind's first rebellion and disobedience toward God, was a result of losing the battle Satan waged against the soul (or mind) of Adam and Eve. The battle continues to be won or lost in the six realms of the soul. In these end times, as predicted in the Bible, there is an escalation of Satan's attack on the soul. His plan is to - cripple the WILL - numb and harden the CONSCIENCE - destroy the REASON (ability to make wise choices) - corrupt the IMAGINATION - center the focus of MEMORY on bad experiences and - keep the EMOTIONS in turmoil. This is why it's so important for us to develop the inner emotional strength or 'Soul Power' to ward off the attack of the enemy, foil his plan and walk in victory!

Soul power is developed much the same way a muscle is made strong - by exercise! Essential exercise for the soul includes - Prayer, Praise, Bible Study, memorization and confession of scripture and positive affirmations in line with God's Word. These spiritual gymnastics will develop and maintain a healthy soul which is imperative to personal Christian growth. The Apostle Paul refers to it as being 'strengthened with might in the inner man'! Soul power enables us to face every obstacle and challenge in life, and not be defeated! Sometimes tired and sometimes weary? Certainly, but never destroyed, discouraged, or without hope - because we know the enemy - where and how he attacks - and how to win over both his obvious and subtle assaults!

PERSONAL VICTORY - Thanks to this process, I'm thrilled to report - and which Phyllis will attest to - that I have been able to maintain victory over stress, anxiety, fear and negative thoughts since late 1990 and continue to do so! I'm still human and I still experience frustrations from time to time - but oh what a difference! Now I know how to diffuse and dispel the things that once nearly destroyed me!

Even as I typed in that last phrase and re-read it on the computer screen, tears of joy are welling up in my eyes! They are tears of gratitude for a new lease on life, and the opportunity that is now mine to fulfil my destiny! It's a great joy and privilege to share my testimony on the internet! My prayer is to be able to help others who feel overwhelmed, as I once was, by problems or circumstances. There is hope! You can make it! I'm living proof!

THE BATTLE GROUND IS THE SOUL - and the key to victory is a healthy soul (or mind) which is why we wrote and produced the "Overcomer's Maximized Living System". It provides a clear cut, easy to follow method for training and maintaining the six realms of the soul, which will put you over the top in every situation and circumstance you will ever face for the rest of your life!! Satisfaction guaranteed, or your old life back! (Meet Us at the Jesus Center) ('Maximized Living System' offer) (Immediate Help for You!) (top of web page)

You Are Always Welcome at the Jesus Center The Greatest Little Church on The Planet! Caring Folks:
Since inception, the Jesus Center has always been a place where people feel loved and accepted. Pastor John (Rev. John Cossin) and his wife June founded the Jesus Center 16 years ago, as well as the Lord's House back in the 60's. John and June are well known for the way they have lovingly and sacrificially given of their time and resources to help others.

Call for Help:
In December of last year, due to Pastor John's age and health concerns, they asked Chaplain and Mrs. John and Phyllis Miller, their long time friends, to begin conducting services and to consider providing the pastoral care for the Jesus Center.
The Miller's friendship with the Cossins and their family goes back over 30 years, so they were only too happy to accept the call for help. In turn, the Millers have asked and received the cooperation of Pastor John and June's son and daughter in-law, Denny and Christine Cossin to assist them as Co-pastors at the center. Denny and Christine attended Rehma Bible Institute and have had many years of ministry and pastoral experience.

Anticipation:
The people are coming! There's excitement in the air! The center that almost closed last year, is now filled with expectation, new life and enthusiasm, The initial reorganization meeting with Chaplain and Mrs. Miller was on Wednesday January 7th, 1998 with 10 persons in attendance. The Miller's received a warm welcome and were graciously accepted by the people. Less than three weeks later on January the 25th, the attendance had already grown to 23, for which we give God all the Praise and Glory!
