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.
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
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

Hi Pastors – just want you to know Angie and I are back home safe and sound in Massachusetts and that Angie is feeling better tonight. I read Isaiah to her on the plane – about the camels – and the Word came ALIVE! Praise God! Angie wanted me to thank everyone at the River Church for all the love they showed her at the Winter Camp Meeting. It was an awesome time in the presence of the Lord. She says keep winning souls – the time is short! Love ya! Linda Gosselin and 92-year-young Angie Foley from MA
Linda Gosselin FIRE! Just want to add that I am sending out the script to all my FB friends – let’s see how many respond to the Lord’s tug on their hearts tonight!
“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!
