God’s touch cannot be copied.  It is so real that when His presence comes, you will sense it. The presence of God cannot be denied.  There is nothing that could ever replace a touch from God.

God doesn’t force His touch on you; however if there’s any hungry people, God fire will light them up for they are like lightning rods.  I’ve been privileged to be present in the beginning of something God wants to do in America.  We now plunge forward into a third week of revival in the city of Tampa Florida; every night has been a challenge to my personal walk with God.  People watching from all over the world are calling the Great Awaking Prayer line to be touched with the same fire they see on television.

One Thursday night, I was happy to take part in letting God use me over telephone calls.

As I sat down and logged in the phone, immediately it began to ring.  I answered the phone and the caller was one precious lady asking for God to touch her to heal her body and to give her joy.  As I prayed the Word of God, I began to speak in tongues and pray the perfect will of God for her life. The woman began to be filled with joy of the Lord and the presence of God was there.  She said after I prayed that the pain had decreased after I had prayed for her. God had used me touch a person with His tangible power.  The same power that I had witnessed God using Dr. Rodney Howard Browne with isn’t for only special preachers or people.  It’s for any heart that’s willing to surrender all for God’s life; that is willing to yield the plan and purpose God has for them. -Ruth N

This minister’s conference created a new hunger for me.  It created a mirror for me that enabled me to see my reflection.  I was able to see a lack of satisfaction in the things of God in my life.  I found that I needed to put more effort, time, and devotion into other areas of my heart.  I was also convicted by the fact that these areas had been neglected. 

I began to understand how important it is not only to tap into the presence and things of God but to stay in His presence.  I know now that if I remain in the Holy Spirit my light will shine bright instead of it flickering as if it is about to go out.  I learned that not allowing the fire to die down is for the benefit of others regardless of my feelings, circumstances, or ideas. 

There are people that hunger and desire to be touched by God.  If the fire is not ablaze on the inside of me the people that are seeking God if they come across my path will not be able to see the light of truth.  Who knows where the next light house might be or if they’ll even have another chance to meet another Christian.

This meeting challenged me to be totally sold out to Christ and His plan with no limits or boundaries set in place.  There were no limits and no boundaries to the things that God did to find or reach me so there should be no limits on God or how He wants to enlarge/stretch me.  Being willing and submitted to this process is not an option it is a choice that must be made.

On Sunday, 12/13/09, I was in kids church doing the Security and I was stunned I mean absolutely slapped stupid, the hunger on them kids was incredible and once they got inside it was a whole another story they were excited, but the kids church workers got them sitting and when it came time for Joe to come up them kids were crazy I mean the involvement of them kids was totally mind-blowing!!! I was of course in and out of the building but every time I could I would try and see all three age groups. I remember one little girl in the 3-5 yr olds and she was so scared she was crying these sad “alligator tears”, and she wouldn’t play with any of the other kids so I left for like half hour, when I got back she was sitting with one of the workers and smiling, I left that room with tears in my eyes. Than later on I was going to the back of the kids church, they’d just gotten done with the kids’ altar call, so all the kids who accepted Jesus were in the hallway and two lil kids stuck out, one little girl tugged on my suit coat and said “Jesus loves me”, I said “He always has.” than one little Mexican boy hugged me and said with tears that he “Jesus is my best friend”, man I was done after that I cried and said inside “Lord your so good, to see these kids so happy with meeting You”, the looks on there faces were priceless and that little boy, he was like 9 or so he was a tall little boy. But you know that’s not the first time I had this happen to me, back in September I went to Tampa General Hospital to visit the children’s ward and it broke my heart b/c that day God dealt with my heart, I thought to myself “all the money in the world can’t raise that little boy from that bed and from that day on I asked God to break my heart all over again for kids and showed my need for the Holy Ghost.

I am a first year bible college student, and I just want to say that I feel extremely privileged to be here in school (RBI), and to be a part of the River Church. I see how this church feeds people spiritually and also physically as well. There’s a food ministry at the church that provides people that are in need, with food. But the main thing I love about this church is the fact that it goes after souls. I have never seen or heard of another church that goes out to win souls, (evangelize) as much as this church. It feels great to be a part of Pastor Rodney’s ministry that does outreaches out to the city. And it’s not just once every two or three months, or whenever they feel like it, but it’s every week, every day, there’s always a group going out to soul win. Just last Sunday, December 13, 2009, there was a special outreach service in the River Church that was just amazing. I was in the nursery serving, and we were expecting a lot of 1-2 year old babies that were going to come that morning because the church was giving out toys for children for Christmas and food to everyone, and many people and babies came. I was in charge to take care of four babies that I got the privilege to tell them about Jesus and to pray with them. It was just wonderful to see the little babies accepting Jesus in their heart. And just to show them love. There was this little 1 year old boy who at first was crying and screaming at the top of his lungs when his parents dropped him off, because he wasn’t use to being away from his mom, but a little after he got use to being there and started playing. While the kids were playing and some were crying and yelling, I was thinking to myself, “Oh my goodness this is hard!” But at the same time, I could see outside through the windows everything that was going on. There was a radio station van outside, people from the church getting the area ready where they were going to give out toys, and the other area where they were going to give out the food, and then I realized that maybe it was a little tough to be with the babies, but that it was worth it because that’s where I put my time to serve, and everyone had their place to be. And we all came together as a team and with God’s help, made it all happen and gave out the toys and the food.

The Winter Campmeeting impacted my life in that I felt like we were being called to a higher level in Christ. We are to not forget the vision the Lord has given us and trust him to fulfill it. The time is speeding up and we will be able to accomplish more in a shorter period of time.
Pastor Rodney spoke about going to South Africa and receiving a word from God and he gave us the vision the Lord gave him for the years ahead. We get to be a part of that vision, so we need to be supportive. This is not a time to slack off, but instead to press in and run with the vision.
The campmeeting was celebrating 30 years of ministry, Pastor Rodney read his biography of how he got started in the ministry and trials he and Pastor Adonica went through and accomplishments they made by the grace of God. It really helps to hear the trials a man or woman of God go through, mistakes they may have made, sound decisions that brought good results, because then we feel like we can make it. We’re not alone in the battle. Things you see in the churches, offenses that come, so many going the ways of the world, make you want to quit going to church, not quit living for God, but giving up on the church. Pastors Rodney and Adonica did not give up on the church, they started a church and this church is an example of the kingdom of God, of the way a church can be if you persevere in the things of God and you yourself be the example. You will then see fruit because God promises it. “John 15:16″ We were challenged to live a consecrated, holy life before God. How many churches will do that today? We have a true enemy we need to be aware of and take seriously, who is always trying to take us out, but we have the authority over him and we need to walk in it. We have the victory!

This campmeeting was so full of the awesomeness of God that it’s challenging to summarize all of the ways my life was changed. One of the first things I remember is that it was a celebration of Pastor’s 30 years in ministry—what a thing to rejoice over! I am blessed by his determination and ability to lose all of that weight, and I loved hearing all of the other ministers that sent in video greetings to Pastor. It made me realize that we are all in this together and that God does place people along side us to encourage us in our journey with him. Thank God for these relationships. I am a story lover, so I very much enjoy any time Pastor shares stories about his life and family, his testimony and biography were amazing. It always ministers to me and helps to be able to apply what he has done to my own life—to know that he went through the same things that I go through and he has come out on top.

Seeing people get blessed always blesses me. I absolutely love to see the anointing and joy on other people. Every night when people were touched by God I rejoiced. I am so thankful that Pastor puts in the effort to have these meetings, because I believe it really revives and refreshes those who are full time in ministry. So many times I see people come in, in the beginning of the week, then I see them throughout the week and their countenance changes. People come expecting and when even just some in a group will expect to see God move, and he does, everyone gets blessed.

The most important point I will make is that I went away from those meetings with a greater revelation of who God is, and a greater desire to know him and his love.

A friend loaned me the dvd, i never really watched pastor. i would watch it all the time sometimes 2 or3 times a day. i would watch it at night and would always fall asleep with it on. well today was the first time i watched the whole dvd as he started to prophesy, he was talking to me. you see i have had a burden to go to the nations, but some how it never happened. i went today and applied for my passport, and in a month i will be going on my first trip to Haiti with the lashbrook family, they have been there 14 years. Praise Him ! here is a poem God gave me after prayer one morning, months before i saw the dvd. THE NATIONS ARE CRYING THEREis a sound going throughout, even the earth is starting to speak. The nations of the world saying, come to me I need to be reached. Please, don’t forget about me I’m one of God’s creations, I can learn, then teach. I may be mean, and a killer at heart. But deep inside there’s an empty part. this part I tried to fill with other gods, who do not heal or fulfill. I am crying, my people are crying God if your thrie hear this prayer I’m praying. written by, George S i have had that same deep groaning, now God is doing it ! All glory to Jesus ! thank God for your obedience and gift.

Christ Jesus of Nazareth has never left Nazareth, HIS grace and power is still here and working wonders beyond anything a mortal man can understand. This morning I was invited to visit an Arabian lady ninety years old. Her daughter Badjia had invited me for a meal at here house a week prior to visiting her mother. Her daughter said we were eight in the family; my father died when I was 3 and my mother held the family together, we lived near the market here in Nazareth. But my mother has never given her life into the hands of Christ Jesus, she knows all about him, will you come with us to my mothers’ home and invite her to receive Christ as her saviour? And the greatest miracle is salvation; the lady of 90 years gave her life to Christ this day and also a lady visiting her said yes to Christ Jesus. Christ Jesus has blessed this family, the 90 year old lady told me my mother read out of the bible to me and I listened. She went on to say my mother told me never to take advantage of others for any reason and I never have. I have great joy in giving and not asking for something is not my way. How can I say Christ Jesus is here in Nazareth, she the 90 year old lady has a family first second third generation all with Christ Jesus. The daughter Badjia has three daughters all married to men with Christ Jesus as Lord of their life. And very interesting the three daughters all have grandchildren with the Lord they live here with their families in Nazareth one daughter is married to a American one to a Egyptian one to a Jew. From generation to generation HIS great grace has flown in this godly family, praise him from whom all blessings flow. Amen
