Beyond his prophetic mantle, Dr. Lyles operates heavily in the ministries of healing, deliverance, and miracles. He is a vessel through which God's power flows mightily, bringing radical, life-changing miracles to the lives of those who encounter his ministry. Through his faith-filled prayers, God has healed terminal illnesses that doctors deemed incurable. Brain cancer, ovarian cancer, and breast cancer have been supernaturally healed, and tumors have vanished before the eyes of the sick and the medical professionals alike. These signs and wonders are not just testimonies; they are daily reminders of the living, powerful God that Dr. Lyles serves.
In 2024 alone, nine miracle babies have been birthed into beautiful families through the power of prayer, prophetic declarations, and divine intervention. These testimonies of supernatural childbirth serve as a witness to God's miraculous hand at work in our lives and confirm the authenticity of Dr. Lyles’ prophetic and healing ministry.
Dr. Lyles also carries a unique ability to operate under a spoken word anointing. The prophetic words he declares are not merely utterances—they are life-altering declarations that release healing, breakthrough, and restoration in both personal and corporate settings. His words carry weight in the spirit realm, and when he speaks, things change. Those who receive his words in faith see tangible results, as God honors the faithfulness of His servant.
What sets Apostle Dr. Marcus Lyles apart is his refusal to conform to traditional religious structures. He is not bound by the expectations or limitations of man-made systems. His approach to ministry is anything but conventional. He believes in the radical, unfiltered power of the Holy Spirit to move freely and abundantly, unencumbered by religious ritual or tradition. Dr. Lyles does not shy away from challenging the status quo or stepping outside of the confines of tradition to follow the leading of the Holy Spirit. His ministry is rooted in authenticity, freedom, and a deep, personal relationship with God—not in religious formality or routine.
This unorthodox approach has led many to encounter the true power of God outside of a traditional religious context. He equips believers to break free from the confines of religion and embrace a raw, vibrant, and supernatural relationship with Jesus Christ. His passion for prayer, fasting, and obedience to the Holy Spirit is contagious, inspiring everyone under his leadership to strive for spiritual excellence, personal holiness, and a deeper sensitivity to the presence of God.
Apostle Dr. Marcus Lyles is a gift to the Body of Christ—a leader who leads with conviction, humility, and an unwavering commitment to seeing lives transformed. His ministry continues to serve as a light in the darkness, guiding us toward a brighter future, fostering an ever-deepening relationship with the Father, and encouraging us to operate in the fullness of the spiritual gifts and callings that God has placed within us.
Through his leadership, countless lives have been healed, delivered, and set free—physically, emotionally, and spiritually. His ministry continues to produce fruit that will last for generations to come, and he stands as a beacon of hope, reminding us that with God, all things are possible.

Dr. Marcus Lyles
Born in Jackson, doctors declared Lyles was born blind and deaf, weighing a mere 1 pound 6 ounces, with a hole in his head and stomach. Dr. Marcus Lyles emerged into the world with a divine purpose. His grandmother, the Late Mother Lillian Christine Lyles, played a crucial role in the early days, ministering healing through unwavering faith. Refusing to accept the report of the enemy, she immediately asked the doctors for her grandson so that she might pray the prayer of faith over his sight and hearing. She placed him in a circle, surrounded by herself along with her sister Katie Howard and their Mother the Great grand mother of Dr. Lyles the late Mother Mary Christine Gilmore . Lillian Lyles began to call on the name of GOD. To the doctors' surprise, they witnessed the miraculous restoration of sight and Lyles's hearing through the effectual fervent prayers of his Grandmother, the late Lillian Christine Lyles ,that day the medical community stood in awe as GOD's grace unfolded.
​
Released from the hospital miraculously healthy two weeks later, Dr. Lyles was nurtured in Hattiesburg, Mississippi. The prophetic call beckoned at the age of 15, and by 16, he was summoned into ministry by the Spirit of the Lord. Lyles received a visitation from GOD whereby he was surrounded by angels and was told of the divine affirmed apostolic prophetic mandate.
The journey took a pivotal turn when, under the guidance of his godmother, he visited Dominion and Power Church, encountering Apostle Paul Beard, the senior pastor, and founder of Dominion and Power. Apostle Paul Beard released a word of prophetic impartation to Lyles, confirming the apostolic prophetic grace and mantle, also by the impartation of spiritual gifts.

He looked up and saw a giant door whereby GOD was standing. However, Lyles declares he could not bear the sight of the face of God it was as a light that was most blinding.
