Winter Camp Meeting | John Hawkins Testimony

Worship Soundtracks from RMIRiverSong on Vimeo.

It was a time of pressing into the things of God, bathing in His presence with worship, dancing and praise! There were days where it felt like total victory in the atmosphere.

Sitting in God’s presence was strengthening and preparing me for where God was leading me next.

I felt the Lord really changing my heart in the area of my marriage as far as really helping my wife with the house and it has been such strength to our marriage!

During this camp meeting it really helped me to realize my focus: staying focused on the Word; really getting the Word in my heart and hungering for the things of God all again.

This has been a time of consecration just for an entire week. Just locking into thing things of God, and not being distracted by the things of the world or just my common day to day processes. It was a reminder of the important things such as the Word, holiness and keeping my eyes on Jesus.

I could feel Pastor Rodney’s very passion about staying clean from the things of this world and not getting tainted; not conforming for whatever reason; which I believe is so needed because sometimes as people, we can get caught up with new ideas and can be lead away from the mind of God. I felt His sternness on that subject which was very necessary for me and everyone in the congregation.

It was awesome to see Brother Ted Shuttlesworth minister with such authority and boldness. I felt honored to be section leader, and catch and see how God was giving Brother Ted, Word of Knowledge about people and was correct to a tee! People’s ears were popping open like popcorn! It was an amazing experience!

I left this campmeetiing on a high and so full of the Word and Spirit that people would say they saw the glory of God on me and when I prayed for the sick, they got healed instantly! Praise God!

Spoke to a Chinese man, gift of diverse tongues dropped on her and she spoke in Chinese. He started shouting Adoni in English. Believe he received the Lord. 29 year old was shot in behind and said he cannot forgive. She said, “unforgiveness makes you bitter” so his eyes got big and he prayed the salvation prayer.
Driving home last night, God highlighted a guy to me walking on the sidewalk. So 2 blocks later, I told the guys to stop and ran back to him. After I told him that God loves him and has a wonderful plan and he was like I was just praying and scared that he was going to run out of food and money and a place to live. But he was like, no wait God’s got it. Just then I ran up and told him that. Donald, meet him in the parking lot, ask him if he know beyond a shadow of a doubt that you would go to heave. He said no one does. He talk about his religion. I was able to lead him in prayer. Later he came up to me and ask me to pray for him. I prayed for the body to be whole. He left again and come back saying that Jesus had healed him and he didn’t need his pain medication. 19 year old was reading proverbs received Christ. A lady seemed sick, won’t open door received Christ.

Great Awakening Tour City #46 Riverside, CA | Jack W Testimony

I went to a children’s hospital and got permission to pray with a 3 year old girl named Maddie. She was mute and signed that her eye hurt. The nurse told me she had eye pain. I prayed for her healing, then I signed Jesus and pointed to my heart. I saw someone sign Jesus before and gave it a shot. After the prayer she pointed to her eye with excitement as she was healed. Then I signed Jesus over and over with excitement! We were at a homeless children and families shelter, praying with the people outside, but couldn’t get permission to go inside. A mother inside the facility heard that we were praying for people and came outside, begging for prayer. She had to wait in line with her 3 year old daughter while we finished praying for the others. We read the gospel script with her and she wept openly as she gave her heart to the Lord. Her whole countenance changed and she thanked us over and over. Myself and 2 team members Rachael and Ruth prayed at 2 nursing homes. A lady was first reluctant, didn’t want him to leave afterwards. We prayed with a softball team, 2 soccer teams at a high school and homeless shelter. I really stepped out today.

NH 1st time witnessing in NH got 19 people saved. Prayed with one woman on Alzheimers unit who was able to receive the Lord by nodding her head. At first the woman had been incoherent. 7 year old son-shy saw the clip on TV Sunday morning and said “Those people are all going to hell and we have to save them”-Cameron is the reason She and Cameron went to NH Monday The lady I talked to first had a newborn baby that was crying, and a toddler. She was very busy but she took the time to say the prayer. I had to cut it short but it was very rewarding and encouraging to see her pray. Witnessed at Shepperd Aptments in Louisville.

A lady on our team asked for prayer for her neck and back. She was in pain. We prayed for her and the pain left. She got excited. I started talking to a young man who said he was Jehovah Witness. I did the script with him and he prayed and asked Jesus in his heart. He is going to listen to DVD. He was happy. My first time at doing this I felt intimidated and hesitant. A young woman came to her door and was looking towards us. My friend and Jessica our team leader were headed towards a group of young people and they said for me to go up to the woman. I was alone and God said “Do it!” So she accepted the Lord and I said “See, now you know you’re going to Heaven!” She grinned a big smile and breathed a sigh of relief!

Recent Student Testimonies

There are certain experiences that will impact your life at such a level that you know you will never forget them or be the same afterwards.  One such encounter for me was the Sunday morning service at the River at Tampa Bay Church on December 13th, 2009.  After advertising for a month all over the city of Tampa that Pastor Rodney and Revival Ministries would be giving away over 1,000 Christmas toys and boxes of food to anyone who registered and came to the service on the 13th of December, we saw over 1300 people come! We brought them in by the bus loads. Over 310 children came with their parents.  And after the gospel was preached in the children’s church 156 kids gave their lives to Christ, and in the main adult service just shy of 200 people accepted the Lord as their personal savior!

The efforts that went into seeing such an incredible miracle were worth every moment.  Having a Sunday service in America where over 27 percent of the audience commits to serving Jesus Christ will bring anyone to tears. It was life changing.  So often people pray to see the harvest of souls and ask God to bring people to their church.  That just won’t cut it, you have to go out on the streets and meet people in their daily lives to minister to them and bring them to church!  If a salesman sits in his office and waits for people to call him how successful will he be?  Not at all! But if he goes door to door and meets people he will see his labors come to fruition.  Serving under Pastor Rodney and the mighty vision he has for the city of Tampa Bay and America is contagious, and watching so many people come forward to receive salvation has permanently left a mark on my heart! The only thing you can bring to Heaven with you on that glorious day are the souls of the people who accepted salvation when you ministered the gospel to them.  Thank you God for a ministry whose heart is set at winning the lost of the world at any cost and effort!

Share Some Water

Rodney Howard Browne shows us the day of pentecost

He was parched after walking on a particularly long trip in the heat of the day.

 

Around midday, He came to a well in a city named Sychar.

 

Exhausted and hot, Jesus sat down by that well. Seeing that she was drawing water, He asked her if she would give Him a drink. This happened in an area known as Samaria—a area where Jews barely went. She was startled that He would even talk to her. This led to a dialogue that was so heavy, John recorded it in the 4th gospel account, the one that bears his name—John 4:1-30. Bother to read these verses slowly and solemnly. His words to her, especially those in verses ten and 13-14.

 

 

Her words to Him, as she attempts to understand who he is. Her words to others, as she later tells them about Him. Ultimately , bother to respond to these 2 questions:. What did Jesus mean when He said to the lady, “Everyone who drinks of this water will thirst again ; but whoever drinks of the water that I’ll give him shall never thirst”? What are the diversities between the sort of water we drink and the sort of water Jesus gives? As necessary as water is to our contentment, it doesn’t permanently slake our thirst. We’ll always need and want more—a lot more.

But the water Jesus offers not only brings momentary satisfaction, it brings satisfaction forever. Perhaps it’s time for you to claim to Jesus what he announced to that lady : give me a drink.

To Use Tough Love

Rodney Howard Browne shows us the birds of peace

Well-meaning oldsters, grandparents, teachers and clergyas well as college and govt systemsoften become enablers by softening or getting shot of the natural results of their kid’s, student’s or constituent’s behaviour. In yesterday’s attention, we debated the boy, whose substance issue finished in crisis. That whole process and the ensuing crisis influenced many lives. The boy developed a serious substance issue by the point he was fifteen.

    His parents, rather than drawing limits and looking for much wanted help for their boy, targeted on safeguarding him from the natural results of his evil-doing. When the high-school principal presented proof that he was selling marijuana, his mum and dad hit out at the high school and threatened a legal action.

    In one year’s time, he was detained 5 times for driving under the influence of alcohol. Every time, his mum and dad bailed him out of jail, giving him “one more chance.” Their other children were neglected.

    Their sort of “helping” had only continued his behaviour and had turned into agony for the whole family.

    If somebody you love is wrestling with a life-controlling problem, you can help by setting limits, by employing troublesome love. And trust God to help you thru the maze. Father, teach me to set limits for my loved one and to reply to wrong behaviors with troublesome loveand please give me the power to follow thru.

Enabling…To help or not to help

Rodney Howard Browne shows us an orange mountain

Is the one you love battling with a life-controlling problem? Are you helping him ( or her ) overcome or are you becoming part of the problem? Enabling is anything that stands in the way of the natural effects of someone’s behaviour.

    A nice example would be oldsters trying frequently to help their child with his drug abuse. At age twelve, the child started drinking at a pal’s house on the weekend and was reliant upon drugs by age fifteen. His drug taking led to his murdering a particularly close family mate and serving a lengthy jail sentence. During his teen years, they attempted to help him by bailing him out every time he got into difficulty, instead of letting him to suffer the results of his behaviour.

    By making an attempt to help, the oldsters became part of the issue. They enabled to keep on a downward spiral till his behaviour finished in tragedy. Is someone you care about wrestling with a life-controlling problem? It is natural to need to protect those we care about, but safeguarding them from the natural results of their evildoing only enables them to resume on the same trail. Ask God to offer you the wisdom and the strength to say “no.” to hope and love and support but not enable.

    I would like to help the one I care about so much. And I’m beginning to realize more that I do more harm than help by rescuing him from the effects of his behaviour.    Is the one you love battling with a life-controlling problem? Are you helping him ( or her ) overcome or are you becoming part of the problem? Enabling is anything that stands in the way of the natural effects of someone’s behaviour.
