I am a second year student this year and over the summer I had a big expectancy for returning to school and what God was going to do this year. I desired to get everything out of this year that I possibly could because I truly know that God is doing a huge work right now; not only with the Great Awakening but in my life as well. In the three and a half weeks that we have been back to school, God has done exceedingly over what I could have ever expected.  One day Pastor Allen was preaching on purity and on letting go of your past and the fire of God fell on me so strong. God burned the bridges of the things in my past that were holding me back.

It was amazing because I felt the anointing on me stronger than ever before and I felt a literal lifting of the bondages off of me. I had such a peace inside my spirit after that and I knew that the attachments that I had to the things of my past were completely gone. Aldo, when the spirit of giving broke out on Thursday during class, God required some things of me that were very dear to my heart and I really felt a break through because I was able to be obedient and give those things with a cheerful heart. I really had a breakthrough also in the area of not being attached to material things. I know that God is doing a huge work in my life right now, preparing me for what He has called me to do and for now, I am happy with receiving every impartation given from the teachers and the Holy Spirit this year and the years to come in school and in this ministry…..Nicole M.

We are additionally believing for jobs and a home with air conditioning.  However, it seems so insignificant considering how much so many Christians, and even fellow students, who seek to save souls in His name, sacrifice.   We have learned that fellow students have even been living out of their vehicles and with friends for the past three weeks until God opened up doors for them otherwise.  My family and I know that we have had breakthroughs spiritually, which are bringing us even closer as a family.  Being at RBI has been so revealing as to the amount of growth that needs to take place in our lives.

We have followed your ministry since 2004 when encountering a traveling evangelist while on vacation in Georgia.  He told us about this preacher in Tampa who had the “FIRE OF GOD.” Had I not listened to the Lord late that night in a hotel parking lot when He spoke to me to listen to what this evangelist had to say, I’m not so sure I would be here today.  I was not going to talk to this man because of the late hour, it being 11:30 at night.  I am thankful that I was obedient to the prompting of the Holy Spirit.

You are a precious man of God, Pastor Rodney.  Thank you for your love and obedience to our Lord and Savior.  I know there is going to be a whole lotta nation shak’n going on!

It has been quite a beautiful, yet wild, journey to be in the place that I stand now. Throughout the past 2 ½ years God has continued to show himself real in many areas of my life.  In the summer of 2009 I was in such a bound situation in the world.  I had completely forsaken the call on my life, and found in a place which I had handed over control of my everyday life to my surroundings. One morning I couldn’t sleep and I found myself face down on my closet floor crying out to Jesus. I prayed the sinners prayer that morning and asked that God would relieve me of my hurts, I said “Jesus take everything from me that is not of you”.

Shortly after that prayer my mom called to let me know that she needed to take a trip with one of my sisters that was having a rough time, and that they were headed to Florida. I wished them well and hung up the phone.  But something inside kept telling me that I needed to go. And somehow by that evening I went from crying on the floor in my closet in Austin Texas, to sitting on the front row of Pastor Rodney’s church service, which was at that time the last place I wanted to be.  As I was sitting through the meeting I was able to keep a straight face but on the inside there was an intense battle going on. I wanted so badly to get up and walk out, It was finally  started to hit me that I had found myself in the last place I thought I would ever be.

This week has been an incredible week! I started the House of Joy in JL Young Retirement Community and already we are seeing fruit! We had the Bible study there last year, but were unable to secure a spot on the calendar for use of the cafeteria. I prayed all the way to the location, met with the leadership there, got to speak with the President of the association and when I did, his response to me was: “Well, there is no calendar at the time due to a mix up, so what time slot did you need?” We were the first to secure a spot on the calendar (after BINGO, of course!) and it was an amazing blessing.

Not only did that happen, but also in moving into the cafeteria, we are in a high traffic area, so many people pass by us as we study the Word! Well, one the 2 attendees called over people as they walked by and two new people sat down at the table… BOTH GOT SAVED during the altar call at the end!! HALLELUJAH!! We are seeing God’s power manifested in this community and I am believing God for a powerful breakthrough in this community, that it will be shaken with miracles and displays of God mighty hand, and that ALL will come to the knowledge of Jesus Christ!!-Thomas R.

The Great Awakening has had such an impact upon my life this past week. When Pastor Rodney Howard-Browne announced that the Great Awakening would be televised live daily,  I became so excited because I knew that it would be so big. For the first time in my lifetime would complete services of revival be live on tv where all the world could see and experience the power of God. Many are so hungry for the reality of the power of God but have not had an opportunity to experience this until now. As I meditated on what is happening, it stirred me up to get hungry for God. I’m becoming hungry again for the things of God and desiring to lay down my life to the will of the Lord. I’m desiring the fire to change me on the inside so that I can have a greater impact on this world around me. This week I’ve been passing out flyers for my dad’s accounting business and everyday I’m being stirred up even more to speak to the people I encounter. People of all ages and nationalities are coming to Christ as a flyer. One person jokingly questioned, “So you’re a part time minister and part time worker?”, and I thought about it and responded, “No. I’m a full time minister and a full time worker.” Another person wanted nothing to do with the flyer that I was giving him and even tried to curse me out. Then out of nowhere I just mentioned that Christ was good and he agreed with me. Immediately I went over to him and shared the Gospel script and he gave his life to the Lord Jesus Christ. The Lord is doing awesome things in Tampa Bay and abroad. –Angel D.

These Great Awakening meetings have been absolutely life changing! After only a few days of the broadcast, being in the studio audience, my life has literally been transformed. The night that stands out the most from this week is Wednesday night. Pastor Rodney talked about getting all of the dead weight out of our hearts, and about getting a fresh fire, and pressing in for a fresh passion for the harvest of souls. The Holy Ghost really grabbed a hold of my heart; it felt like my insides were on fire. I knew that I had to answer the altar call. The words that Pastor Rodney spoke resounded in my heart, that I cannot afford to be casual in these last days. The time is short! In this hour I cannot allow anything to hold me back from going full out for the things of God. Not friends, not my own personal desires, or ambitions, but God has called me to live in this very hour to reach the lost and dying world that I live in. I rededicated my life to Christ on Wednesday night, because I know that Jesus deserves all of me, every breath and heartbeat of my life. And out of this meeting, I’ve received such a new level of boldness, to open my mouth and pour out all that Jesus has put inside of me. I’m so excited to go and win the harvest for Jesus. I’m so excited to demonstrate the power of the Gospel on the streets. I’m so excited to be used of the Lord in these last days, during this GREAT AWAKENING! –David L.

Praise the Lord. Awakening is the only thing that will change our nation back to its roots. Revival and awakening are breaking out in the United States just as William Seymour said it would 101 years ago.

Thank you for being a great part of it!

On 3/2/10 I prayed for an 83 year old woman who could barely hear. The woman was saved and knew that she was going to heaven beyond a shadow of a doubt.      When I put my fingers in her ears and prayed for the deaf and dumb spirit to leave her she started to hear well. I prayed a second time and she could hear me all the way at the door. She was smiling from ear to ear.

I was in Belmont Heights witnessing. A lady who was trying to get me to leave her alone, but I just loved on her. The Lord touched her and she began to weep. The spirit of bondage and depression was broken off her. The lady started coming on the bus and she became a member in February 2010. She received the Baptism of the Holy Spirit in membership class. She tells everyone and is into the Word. She has been renewed.

On 3/1/10 I prayed for healing for a Spanish speaking woman in the nursing home. The woman had “mucho pain” 10/10. The pain decreased and I prayed again for the pain to be completely removed.  The pain was completely gone challenging thing that I have ever done so far in my walk with God. When I started my internship, I also decided to move, right before campmeeting.

I meet a guy who had just gotten out of the penitentiary 14 days ago and was so thankful because he didn’t know what to do next there was another guy being rushed to hospital from a retirement home his family looked worried for his life and he received Jesus.

I gave a mother the Spanish script and she led herself to the Lord.  At the nursing home, William was in a metal brace.  I had him squeeze her hand and actually he hurt my hand he was squeezing so hard.

Today we went to the homeless shelter.  I led 21 people there to Jesus.  It was so fun to see the changes in their faces after they received Jesus.  3 testimonies stand out the most.  One man was studying the Buddhist religion.  I asked if I could share how we believe so he could compare.  He said, “OK!”  The Holy Spirit came upon him and as he prayed he closed his eyes and lifted his head upward and tears flowed.  He gave me a big hug and thanked me!  The second testimony is that I prayed with Jason who said he had never heard and was so willing to pray.  I was amazed at how simple it was.  There was joy all over him.  The third testimony was Alfred’s rededication.  He was already saved but we made sure.  Joy was all over him.  Doctors say he is a walking miracle after a heart attack and a stroke.  He was facing another tragedy, so I prayed for him that he would see more miracles as God walked him through this.  And a ‘word came for him that he would preach the Gospel.  He said, “I have heard that before”  It was confirmation.  He was so excited for the wonderful plan of God.
