Everyday has been so powerful, but one night stands out in particular. In the first week of orientation I had come for the Friday night meeting. I was so physically worn out that I had almost decided not to go, but every pastor each day kept encouraging us to really press in to what the Lord had for us. Pastor Daniel Magee was giving a powerful message that night on walking in freedom and power. I had really been pressing in for breakthrough in the months prior just for freedom to worship and being who God created me to be. At the end of the night after the broadcast was over, I contemplated leaving because of how exhausted I was. Something in me told me to stay and then moments later,

Pastor Daniel was led by the Spirit to give an alter call for those that felt bound by their past condemnation. I ran up. When he laid hands on me, the anointing of God came on me like never before. The Lord spoke these powerful declarations through Pastor Daniel to my heart. “I am free to live a holy and pure life” and “wherever I go is a safe place because my Dad is the King of the universe”. As the Lord ministered to my heart I began to scream and shout . With every yell, I could feel the bondage being lifted from me. By far, the most amazing night of freedom so far! Seriously, these words don’t do it any justice. Also, this is so sweet, just days before that night I was talking to a friend about the joy and how I hadn’t experienced it yet. Well, as I wandered somehow from the sanctuary to my car that night to drive home (it was about 1 in the morning) the joy hit me in a major way. I laughed and cried hysterically for about 30 min. I don’t even know how I made it home! Thank You Jesus…Jarrett G.

I have been blessed serving as an usher for the ministry. Witnessing others getting blessed by the Holy Spirit has given me more Joy than I have ever experienced in my life. Every time someone is blessed in the service my spirit man is filled with the fire of the Holy Ghost.

I have learned the duties of an usher have many responsibilities serving the ministry. Serving and honoring the Lord during the services have made me stronger in the word of God. My character is a prime example of the Lord taking me to higher levels of worship and obedience in each service I participate in. Greeting and seating the people for the service, catching them when they are touched by the Holy Spirit are some of my favorite duties serving as an usher. I feel the anointing and blessing fall on each individual that wants prayer at the end of each service.

When the Pastor is praying for individuals there are times when I am catching the participants and my hands are on fire, my spirit is touched during the prayer line time of the service. It is an honor and blessing to serve the ministry as an usher and I hope to do it more often in the future. Thank you Jesus! -Kelvin S

The past week has been amazing. The power of God has been present in these meetings in a strong and powerful way. I feel that God has been calling me to press in to all that he has for my life; there are two areas specifically that I am working out. Each service that I attend, it seems that the speaker either directly or indirectly addresses those areas that I am working on. God is so good!

Also, I am seeing multiple demon manifestations within these services – not only pastors casting out demons but actually having the opportunity to cast out demons myself. The Lord is really showing me how that the supernatural realm operates and I am growing in that area more than ever before. The other night, I prayed with this girl who said she opened herself up to wrong spirits because of the boyfriend that she had. She felt this oppression on her life. After explaining briefly to her how to become and stay free, I cast the demon out and commanded her to be free from it in the Name of Jesus. It was awesome to see the presence of the Lord touching her! I had never experienced the power of God flowing through me like that before. I suddenly realized how simple the Word actually is. All you have to do is step out and act on it. You do not have to feel any hype, but you can feel the fire of God. Praise the Lord!

God has been so good to me and my family, my little sister and roommate is a first year RBI student and in the faith class Dean Todd told her to write down what she was believing for and she wrote down furniture for our apartment. We moved in together and had absolutely nothing.

So we did as we were taught in school and linked our faith together and kept speaking our faith out as Pastor Rodney always says to do. This went on for months then just last week I got a call from a friend to see if we still needed furniture because she had three recliners for us.

However when I went to pick the chairs up we ended up with kitchen stuff that was on our faith list and just to super bless us and be totally awesome God also provided us at the hands of my friends a new 32″ digital flat screen television, I never even told anyone I was believing for a new t.v that just proves to me how awesome God is and that he truly does provide for his children.

I’m so excited to see what God has I’m store. The power of God is moving and peopled lives are and are going to be changed and I’m so glad to be a part of it. –Rebecca W.

The Great Awakening has had an amazing impact on Tampa already and will continue to impact Tampa and the rest of the world.

People who were are on drugs are now set free; kids who were making poor grades in school and were in fights are now excelling in school and are bringing their friends to church. Families are being changed. Parents are saying, “I can see the difference in my kids. They are not the same!”

I was in the call center where people needing prayer call in to and it is awesome to see and hear what takes place. Phone operators get filled with joy while they pray for the different callers. Many people call in for various reasons. Pastors who are desperate for revival in their cities call in and alcoholics call to be set free from alcoholism and restoration to their families. Some call in for healing and others simply for re-dedication. No matter what the prayer request is, every caller receives the touch of God that they are looking for.

Because I am intern at RMI, I help enter the prayer request into RMI’s data entry and it is heart breaking to read some of the prayer request. There are so many hurting people and it is exciting to know that they are finding answers to their questions and that their lives are being changed.

I know that this Great Awakening will have rippling effects around that globe as more people watch the nightly program and are touched by the Power of God. This is the Great Awakening that the church needs to revive itself and that will usher in the return of Jesus. We are living in the end times and it is a privilege to be in the center of the action.-Hannah P.

The first week of the Great Awaking – Rodney Howard Browne

It’s only the first week of the Great Awaking and it has been so powerful. Night after night the presence of God has shown up and lives have been changed. I have been really touched by all the calls coming in and people who are coming down, it gets me so pumped. It just shows how lives are being affected and changed. People are getting saved, healed, delivered, ignited, and baptized in the Holy Spirit. It is the book of Acts happening. This is what we were created for to lift Jesus high and to share Him with a lost and dying world. I know that my life has been changed. I was stilling in service and I could just feel the presence of God. My heart was just crying for more of Him, I just want to be used by Him. The Lord has stirred an even deeper hunger in my heart and there is no turning back. The Lord began to speak to me, showing me how He is already using me and showing me some of the ways He wants to use me. This is so much bigger than just me or what I imagined for my life. We each play a part from serving and helping in the ministry of helps to sowing financially into to the Gospel. The Lord was showing how vital each part is and as we unite together and do our part that is when we will see the greatest impact. When we unite with one purpose and one vision to see people touched and changed by the presence of God, who knows how big of an impact we will have.- Marijke D

The Minister’s Camp – Rodney Howard Browne

I had a chance to be only at one evening service. The previous evenings I was in helps ministry. The anointing was so strong; I felt more hunger and thirst, for God. My faith was lifted up. I feel I got in my spirit more compassion for souls. I have strength, confidence, faith and I have strength to go toward and not give up. I have more peace now in my heart, I felt that now. This year is heavier than RBI 1 ( except of course my English language). Now it is better, but I need to learn more. Because the way becomes more narrow. I felt that and I can see that. I’m waiting for this answer yet from embassy for my visa extension and I’m grateful for every day that I can spend here now. Because sometimes some thing are tough.

Now, after the Minister’s Camp meeting I have had some small answers, but I need to know what to do and how to do it when I will go back to Latvia. In my Christian life (12 years) I have never known what will come. Yes, Jesus gives me strength for every day, yes there is some things which God is speaking in my heart… But my flesh must died, then I can bear much fruit. I know deep in my spirit what God’s dealing with me about, but it is not easy. The RBI 1 and last year when I was in Latvia, God taught me more about humbleness. This year is different; it is more about Gods love ( that I like so) and how to trust HIM without support and income and how to live daily. It is not easy, but I know…it is about my future.

God spoke to me “I will never forsake you, never..”, and He is always providing me, ravens coming always.

My cry for God and my hearts desire is for a new touch and fire from heaven. It is the one way how it is possible to live for God and be on Fire for Him. I’m hungry, desperate and I believe and know I will get direction from Him for my life in perfect time. Patience. I so thankful to God for this ministry, all the pastors, staff, and school because it is a big privilege from God that I can be here. It is a big blessing for me and for all the world. I wish you the best, God’s strength and His wisdom for every each day!-Vija P

A Healing Covenant by Rodney Howard Browne

“There [the Lord] made for them a statute and an ordinance, and there He proved them, 26 Saying, If you will diligently hearken to the voice of the Lord your God and will do what is right in His sight, and will listen to and obey His commandments and keep all His statutes, I will put none of the diseases upon you which I brought upon the Egyptians, for I am the Lord Who heals you.” Exodus 15:25b-26 AMP

“You shall serve the Lord your God; He shall bless your bread and water, and I will take sickness from your midst.” Exodus 23:25 AMP

Father God made a covenant of healing with Israel. This covenant applied also to those who desired or chose to come under this covenant and who committed to its commandments. There are two parts to this covenant: the commands and the promises.

The Commands:

Diligently hearken to God’s voice
Do that which is right in His sight
Give ear to – listen to and obey – His commandments
Keep all His statutes

The Promises:

I will put none of these diseases upon you
I am the Lord Who heals you
I will take sickness from your midst

This covenant was made a part of the New Covenant, because Jesus fulfilled Isaiah 53:4 when He Himself, “took our infirmities, and bore our sicknesses” (Matthew 8:17).

“Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the Lord revealed? 2 For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him. 3 He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not. 4 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. 6 All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all. 7 He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth. 8 He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation? for he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he stricken. 9 And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death; because he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth. 10 Yet it pleased the Lord to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in his hand. 11 He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities. 12 Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he hath poured out his soul unto death: and he was numbered with the transgressors; and he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.” Isaiah 53: 1-12 KJV

“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

When you did not know God and were ignorant of His word, you expected that sickness and disease were inevitable. When you became ill, you went to the doctor, or took medicine, or perhaps you just let it have you. Without knowledge of God’s word, most people expect to die of sickness. God says, “No!” He has provided for His obedient children to walk in divine health. For God’s part, He has done all that He can, in Jesus, and simply awaits our response. In order for us to walk in the blessing of this healing promise; this healing covenant; there are four things we must do: 1) familiarize ourselves with God’s promise to us and the conditions attached to the promise (meditate in His word until it becomes real to you); 2) take it personally (believe it’s for you): 3) walk in obedience to the conditions; 4) act on the promise (claim it as yours).

It is not enough for you to sit back and to say that you believe God’s word. You must believe that it is written TO YOU and FOR YOU! You do not need anyone else’s faith or gift. YOU can speak it, act on it and walk in it!

Ministers Conference 2010 – Lesley N. Testimony

The Lord started to prepare me before the conference, knowing that I would have to serve. He showed me this last year when I was being stretched beyond normal thinking. He took me to scriptures to bring me comfort and confirm His word. And every waking moment stay in His word. This year is no different!

The Lord showed me how to yield to Him and get into his presence by worshipping Him and praising Him. Even though I would come into service all the time after worship. He made me close my eyes and get into His presence. The Lord would reveal things to me while I would meditate on Him and no one else. The presence of God had already been ushered in because of the “Worship Team”, and everyone worshipping. I could “so” feel it. Every message that I received would help me to help Gods people. That is all I think about night and day, is the lost and the nations, “everywhere”. God showed me that I am here to be trained, and then he will decide.

What impacted me the most was when Phil Smithurst talked. I have a heart for the people in the villages that have never herd the Gospel. He revealed this to me. I started to weep. During this conference He made it more real this time. Keep focused on my vision, not anything else. He said to stay humble so I would be teachable. Walk in Love. It like I don’t remember what everyone was talking about. God kept me focused on what he had for me. Keep on track with school.

Then Saturday night my son came to church! He had driven up that morning from Fort Myers. I didn’t ask him to come, he came on his own. I had come back for evening service, when he called and said he was here. I came out of where I was sitting and little to my amazement he was in the building! That was a highlight of my week. My son gave his heart to the Lord, but does not have a total relationship with him.

Lord always told me just to show him and I will set the example for him. My son has seen what the Lord has done in my Life and finally a light bulb came on. I know it is because I listened to the Lord and he told me to get in His presence at the meetings and he would minister to me, I was obedient. My son saw something different in me. He saw the “peace of God I had, and to be obedient to the Call, and knowing what it meant to be sold out for Jesus. The Lord showed me to let him do the work in me so he could do his work through me! I was totally refreshed and on a new level, because of these meetings. All I can say is I was in a Holy Ghost place where he was doing surgery on me. I was set free with a new boldness. Praying for people to receive. I would pray and they would receive, like being baptized in the Holy Ghost. I wouldn’t go into a long explanation. I would say it simple and boldly and they would receive!!!
