The pastors and staff at RBI have made us feel so welcomed and loved, letting us know that times will be difficult and emotions will run high, but that God is our source of strength and that He loves us more than we can fathom and has a great plan for our lives.  In truth, that is what has kept me here; knowing that there are hundreds, if not thousands, of souls out there waiting on me and my family to share with them the love of God and the light of the world.

My husband and I are still looking for employment, permanent housing and provision, but are not in worry or fear of these things.  We have grabbed hold of the Seed Time and Harvest teaching and know that what we have and will continue to sow will come to harvest and God shall supply our needs.  There is a bigger picture, a much greater purpose far more reaching than my own security and comforts.  I know that God has a ministry for me, a purpose for my surviving not just one cancer diagnosis, but five.  I believe in the power of the cross, the Divine Healing power of God and the Love of Jesus.  I wish to share this with others so that God’s Power and love will become real to them also.  Thank you, Pastor Rodney, for the opportunity to be used of God.  I pray to fulfill all that God has for me.

By the beginning of August, no one had said anything about RBI or RSW to me and I had made other plans to continue my education at a local college, and resume my job as school began. But I felt such an anxiety set in about the choice I was making to continue in the world’s system when I knew within what really matters is what I do for Him. That’s when I began to get desperate for an answer from God.  I spoke with my sister briefly about what I was feeling,and she said “If there’s anything that is in the back of your mind to do, just go do it!”  That’s when I knew that I needed to began to push in the direction of Bible school.  So with 13 days until school was to start, and with zero money to my name I just began to walk in faith and I began the application process.  I decided it was best to hold a garage sale to get rid of my things to help fund this leap of faith I was about to make.

When I came to Tampa, I had no idea where I was going to stay, or how I would make it. I just knew that God had given me a passion to be here, and with that passion I knew there had to be a purpose. And so far God has not failed once to provide my every need. I stand here today so thankful to my beautiful Savior for bringing me so far and giving me a hope for my future. I know that as I continue in school, there will be much adapting and stretching.  But I feel so very excited at the knowledge I know I will receive while attending.  And I am honored to be here.

Hosea 4: 6~ My people perish from a lack of knowledge. (KJV). It truly is amazing how many people now of days take that bible scripture lightly. Beginning with myself, I never did really understand that scripture until I began to attend the River Bible Institute. With every day that passes I indulge myself more and more in the word f God to help better myself and also to be able to do good in school. Since I was not the brightest student in high school nor was I the most academically gifted student. I enrolled in R.B.I. with multiple goals to achieve, one most important one being to do my absolute best in all my study’s and school work and also so graduate at the top of my class.

But just as everyone around me in my life knows how bad I want this unfortunately so does the devil himself. In all honesty from the moment that I received the call from the administrator letting me know that I had been awarded the scholar ship and had been accepted into The River Bible Institute it is as if almost immediately the devil and his army declared war against me. I remember out of nowhere I began to get these thoughts of doubt and fear and different people around me bean to question my motives as to why I really wanted to get a degree in Theology and also put thoughts into my head through telling me I was waiting my time and that  was going to put two years of my life into something pointless and end up with a degree that would have no way of making any money or bring in any type of income for that fact to be able to help and support my family Luis S..

This week has been a powerful week so far! I have been riding my bike back and forth from services, to and from school, as well as to and from work, and I have been speaking to people and leading them to Christ. The difficulty for me has been setting out and doing it alone, and I have struggled with keeping myself motivated to do it because the fear rises up in me or there is an “urgency” to go and do something else that I have to do for the day.

However, when I began to step out in faith and start leading people to Christ, it began to break! I still find that fear rising up, but I have been able to overcome it by grabbing scriptures and cursing the thoughts of fear or the distractions of life in order to win souls! The devil will always try and make sure there is something else for me to do or that their faces will strike fear in my heart, but as God told Jeremiah and Ezekiel, “Be not afraid of their faces…” I am excited and am believing God to begin to do something brand new in the coming weeks!! Hallelujah!!  -Thomas R.

On Sunday night, I got smacked. Mid-way during service I had gotten a text message from an old friend who is attending seminary. I told him to watch the services on CTN or on revival.com, but he didn’t seem interested. Just in my opinion, if you’re hungry for God and heard that revival was breaking out, I would want to check it out. But he was comfortable in his little bubble. He basically told me that he believes in predestination, so whether we go out and preaches the gospel or whatever; it won’t really make a difference in the end. Honestly, that just got me mad.

I didn’t argue with him. But then God put it in my heart that I’m going to have to face a lot of people who think the same way as my friend, and in order to talk to them, I need a firm foundation in the Word. Also that I needed to pray. A LOT. During service, I don’t even remember what Pastor was talking about but I just started crying… The whole time I was thinking, this is why I’m here, this is why I’m at RBI. If I don’t go out and preach the gospel, then the blood of those I was supposed to reach are on my hands. So yeah, even though I’m getting tired, I’m going to push through and come out of this GAT stronger and more hungry for God. AMEN.-Michelle Y.

God is doing such amazing things in this conference. It is so amazing what is taking place at the river church here in Tampa!! It is so awesome to see the body of Christ rising up and not just stay within the four walls of the church! But going out and taking seriously the scripture go out unto all the world and preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ! I cannot wait to see what is going to take place in other churches as they tune in and get a true passion and hunger for people that are crying out for the peace and joy that only comes from Jesus! I have always had a had a hunger for the lost even at a young age. And have been in many churches that mainly stay within the church to preach the gospel which is a great thing. But we have to go out to the people were they are! It is time for us the church to rise up and go out to a lost and dying world that is trying to fill a void in their lives! So it’s our job for the church to go tell them that the only way they can fill that void is only found in Jesus Christ! It has put a cry in me that I don’t want to be a spectator in this life for Jesus! I want to be and do all that he has called me to do! Not for my glory, but for his! To live a life that is truly pleasing to him!-Jeremy F.

The Great awakening is going to rock the television airways! Get out here if you can or make plans to get out here. This ministry is all about God and winning souls for the Kingdom of God. Pastors Rodney and Adonica Howard-Browne have set the bar by raising up people who are on fire and filled with the spirit of God that they are not ashamed to preach the Gospel and they are a people with a soul purpose which us to bring as many people into heaven with them as possible. For me personally I have this passion on the inside of me to be so on fire for God and I got this just now. We are just mirrors but what do we reflect? We must reflect the image of God which we have been made in. So I strive to put my flesh which is my desires because when I saw this ministry I said “I want what he’s got because, nothing in this world could ever satisfy me.” and it is true nothing can satisfy you but God. He is ALL that you need. And when you finally realize that and get that deep inside of you, all you ever want to do is tell somebody. So watch show as God begins to move among His people. Pack out your living room with your friends and your family. Place a demand on God, then download the Soulwinning tools and teach each other or better said practice  on each other and then get out there! It’s so easy! – Xan H.

Linny S.

I have been to many of the Revivals and have made it to 4 of the camp meetings. I am soooo happy to have came to know the River as my place of worship. I will be attending The River as my home church and am so happy. God has sent me here to know him and Jesus. I am excited to come to one of the Soul Winning classes so I can go out and win souls. I have started with my daughter and 2 grand children.

I still have my older daughter to go and am working hard on her to have her know Jesus the way she should. Thank you Rodney and Adonica. I look forward to getting very involved with the Great Awaking!!!!

He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions.  Psalms 107:20 KJV

Father God sent His Word to heal and deliver us. Proverbs 4:22 tells us that God’s Word is, “Life to those who find them, healing and health to all their flesh.” Jesus is the Word made flesh. John 1:14 says that, “the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.” The Father sent Jesus, not only to save us from our sins, but also to heal our bodies. Everything that Jesus took upon Himself, when He offered up His life was done for you — to remove all traces of the fall; to restore back everything that was lost. On the cross, it was not only your sin that was removed, but also your sickness and disease.

Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. 5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.  Isaiah 53:4-5 KJV

On the cross, Jesus bore our griefs. The Hebrew word “griefs” means malady; anxiety; calamity. It is translated in different passages as disease, grief and sickness and should have been translated here as sickness. Jesus bore all our sickness and disease in His own body while hanging on the cross and becoming a substitute for us. Jesus also bore our sorrows. The Hebrew word here means anguish or affliction and is translated as grief, pain and sorrow. Because Jesus bore our griefs and sorrows, if we believe God’s word to us, we can walk free from all and any sickness, disease, anxiety, anguish and affliction! He was wounded for our transgressions; He was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon Him; and with His stripes we are healed!

Who Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live for righteousness — by whose stripes you were healed.  1 Peter 2:24 NKJV

Notice that Isaiah 53:5 is in the present tense and 1 Peter 2:24 is in the past tense. Neither of them says, “You will be healed one day, in the future, maybe…” — they both make healing a “done deal” for you. In other words, as far as the Father is concerned, you are in fact healed — you just need to activate it in your life by adding your faith to His Word. God told the Israelites, “I am the Lord who heals you” (Ex 15:26). Psalms 103:2-3 says, “Bless the Lord, O my soul, And forget not all His benefits: 3 Who forgives ALL your iniquities, Who heals ALL your diseases.”  

Meditate on these scriptures — God’s Word to you — and allow them to minister to you and to build your faith:

Proverbs 3:7-8 AMP – Be not wise in your own eyes; reverently fear and worship the Lord and turn [entirely] away from evil. 8 It shall be health to your nerves and sinews, and marrow and moistening to your bones.

Malachi 4:2 AMP – But unto you who revere and worshipfully fear My name shall the Sun of Righteousness arise with healing in His wings and His beams, and you shall go forth and gambol like calves [released] from the stall and leap for joy.

Matthew 4:23-24 AMP – And He went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues and preaching the good news (Gospel) of the kingdom, and healing every disease and every weakness and infirmity among the people. 24 So the report of Him spread throughout all Syria, and they brought Him all who were sick, those afflicted with various diseases and torments, those under the power of demons, and epileptics, and paralyzed people, and He healed them.

Matthew 8:16-17 KJV – When the even was come, they brought unto him many that were possessed with devils: and he cast out the spirits with his word, and healed all that were sick: 17 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses.

Mark 6:56 AMP – And wherever He came into villages or cities or the country, they would lay the sick in the marketplaces and beg Him that they might touch even the fringe of His outer garment, and as many as touched Him were restored to health.

Luke 5:17 NKJV – Now it happened on a certain day, as He was teaching, that there were Pharisees and teachers of the law sitting by, who had come out of every town of Galilee, Judea, and Jerusalem. And the power of the Lord was present to heal them.

Luke 7:21 AMP – In that very hour Jesus was healing many [people] of sicknesses and distressing bodily plagues and evil spirits, and to many who were blind He gave [a free, gracious, joy-giving gift of] sight.

Luke 9:11 AMP – But when the crowds learned of it, [they] followed Him; and He welcomed them and talked to them about the kingdom of God, and healed those who needed restoration to health.

Acts 8:5-8 NKJV – Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria and preached Christ to them. 6 And the multitudes with one accord heeded the things spoken by Philip, hearing and seeing the miracles which he did. 7 For unclean spirits, crying with a loud voice, came out of many who were possessed; and many who were paralyzed and lame were healed. 8 And there was great joy in that city.

Revelation 22:2 NKJV – In the middle of its street, and on either side of the river, was the tree of life, which bore twelve fruits, each tree yielding its fruit every month. The leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.

The Lord has really put the area of finanes on my heart latly. Showing me how important it is to just give God what is His. Really what is the big deal about at less give Him what is His! 10%! Thats all He asks for. So little He asks from us, compared to the Cross it’s nothing! I have seen what God can do when you just put your faith in Him.

The Lord told me to just Him in this area and I said I trust you Lord. The Lord Has provide from unknown areas to provide me with finates for weeks. Put your faith in God! His word dose not return void! This is the only chance that we have with many of them and we make it appoint to not give them a watered down version of thee gospel but to give them the real. In addition to the children the youth are an on fire group of young people who are passionate about seeing God shake their generation.

This is the one thing in the entyer word of God that we are alowed to test Him in! We have free rain to test the creator of the world with this! I don’t know about you, but I am takeing God up on His word! I am convinced through this we the body of Christ can fund the end time harvist of souls!
