As children of God the only thing that shows our change of heart is the way we live our lives. James 1:23 only those who believe and act upon His word will receive its benefits. Jesus said in John 15:7 If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you. Verse 8 of this chapter says that God is pleased when we bare much fruit. God wants us to prosper in every area of our lives, however our prosperity (spiritually, emotionally and physically) is a result of us hearing the word and living it Hebrews 4:12. Jesus calls the one who hears his sayings and does them a wise man who builds his house on a rock. Mathew 7:25 says that when the rain descends, the floods come and the winds begins to blow upon the house of such a man, his house will remain standing because it is founded upon the rock. Mathew 7:26 Jesus calls the Christian who hears the word of God and does not do what it says foolish. Such a Christian is likened to one who builds his house upon sand and the rain, the storm, the winds of life come and blows upon the house, and the house falls. The word of God will have a transforming effect in the life those who hear the word and accept we will bear much fruit because the word of God will prosper in the purpose that it was sent forth to accomplish Isaiah 55:10-11, Mark 4:20.

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!
