WOW. Today was amazing! I was able to lead 12 people to the Lord. I have never felt this boldness in my entire life. What amazed me the most was that I was able to witness to young people and they would pray w/ me inspite of where we were. I was like,”Thank you God for boldness and for saving your children”. And even though some did’nt accept Christ(already saved)they still allowed me to pray for them. I never knew it was so easy;so simple and so short. I was so focused on souls for Christ that I didn’t even care about how freaky I must look to other people OMG!!!!. This was friggin whoa! I am going to keep sharing and I will no longer hide the hope that I have inside like,all of a sudden I no longer see just people;I see souls in need of salvation or just prayer. WOW.-Chimene Jackson

Matters of the Heart

Worship Soundtracks from RMIRiverSong on Vimeo.

One of the most important lessons that I learned from this class is to stay humble in every situation. I must remember to remain little in my own eyes. Humility is a great way of keeping the devil from being able to tick me off by leading me in something that is not Godly. (Anger, strife, fighting, lying, etc)

I also learned that it is vital to have character. Character will take you a long way. The anointing will get us to a place but it is character that will keep us at that place. With Godly character, we will be able to bear Godly fruit and fruit that will remain.

In the Matters of the Heart, I learned to put a great emphasis on the Word of God. I learned that the Word of God is our anchor; it is our light, and our source of direction. We must keep the Word of God in our eyes, ears and heart. Through this class, I was able to get an understanding of God’s Word being life and health to our lives.

I learned how important it is to guard my heart with all diligence with the Word of God. I must never twist God’s Word and try to make it say what I want it to say. The class gave me an awareness that when people twist the Word of God, cults and all kinds of false doctrines will develop.

It is not good enough to just hear God’s Word, but it is very important that we are doing His Word so we will not deceive ourselves. We are to never allow the Word to depart from our eyes because it is the Word that will teach us how to prosper and lead a victorious life!

Pastor Adonica left us with a very good nugget for life in regards to family and friends: We are responsible for ourselves and we are responsible to everyone else (family, friends, etc.)! Thanks to Rodney Howard Browne.

We came to the GAT in Upper Marlboro. We went into the nursing homes for 2 days. Friday evening, we went to Ocean City, Maryland. We go there to the Son Spot once a month. We went to the nursing home a few miles away from Ocean City. 4 people went with us. My husband Blaine took 2 teenagers and trained them to use the script. I trained 2 ladies but they ended up doing their own thing, even after watching what God was doing. A total of 43 people gave their lives to the Lord. We want to go back the next time we go to Ocean City. Today, we took a homeless man to a picnic the Son Spot was having. I led him to the Lord. He said his name was “Mud” I went through the script and I asked the Lord to bless “Mud” It was kind of funny. After he prayed, I asked him what his real name was, he told me “Bud” My husband told him the Lord changed his name from Mud to Bud. You never know who the Lord will send your way. The pastor’s wife brought an elderly friend to the picnic, her name is “Daisy” She has talked with her and Daisy is afraid to die, she was not sure. My husband did the script with her and she knows for sure that she is on her way to Heaven. She was crying, she was so happy.

While on the GAT Baltimore, I went to a nursing home where the activity director wanted to have someone take me room to room to pray for specific patients. The assistant AD went with me as I began to pray for the patients. I learned later that the activity director wanted to make sure that I prayed for those people who never get to see anyone. I prayed for a woman for salvation and healing in her legs. As I turned toward the activity assistant I noted that she was crying and she said “boy, that anointing is really strong.” Turns out the activity assistant was Pentecostal and I was able to pray with all of the patients. I went into another room and asked the woman to blink her eyes if she wanted prayer. The woman was about 30 years old and had a huge scar across her scalp. The woman blinked her eyes and received salvation. Turns out the woman had been in a coma for the past 3 years following a car accident and had been unable to communicate with anyone since that time. I entered another room and prayed with a woman approximately 85 years of age who was sitting in a wheel chair. The activity assistant had walked out of the room. I went through the script with the woman and she verbally repeated the prayer. As I left the activity person returned to the room and said “it was good you prayed for her even though she cannot respond.” I told her that the woman had verbally repeated the prayer of salvation. The activity person was just stunned. She then took me into a room with a man who was apparently close to death. He was not able to verbally respond, but did blink his eyes that he wished to receive salvation. As he blinked the salvation prayer I noted tears running down his cheeks. After I was done praying with the patients she begged me to have someone from the local church come back to pray for the patients. I was also humbled in that I had thought the activity person was going to limit who I was going to be able to pray with. When in reality, she just wanted to make sure I prayed for the people who never get prayer or visitors.

Holy Spirit Weekend at The River

I was a mormon. thought life was never funny and could not see the point of the laughter on the programs. i saw richard roberts on program in 1994 and he was laughing and the services are so amazing with the joy the comes over the people. i began to want the joy. on sat the 10th i went to a special service and went to talk to the pastor. i asked about being saved and how to get joy. i then realized the anger i have carried for years from abuse in many directions. heard a message that if you cant forgive, God cant forgive you. i wanted to forgive and to receive forgiveness. i got saved, baptized in holy ghost both in same evening, the next day i saw the broadcast. i called got a nice funny gentleman on the phone.

I prayed and holy spirit laughter came all over me. i began to pray and a song came into my mind i just heard. more of you. more of you, i had it all but what i need more of you. of things ive had my fill and yet i hunger still…. i could not and still cant get the song out of my mind and heart. i cry it in my sleep sometimes but it has consumed me. the guy called me the other day and we laughed so hard my stomach hurt. what a joy in my life. get rid of junk, recieve christ , get holy ghost and fill up. wow.

Recent Student Testimonies

Many months and weeks of preparation have gone into putting together this past Sunday’s holiday outreach. It’s taken hundreds of helpers and faithful servants to accomplish what this ministry has done. I personally have seen all of this labor and preparation first hand and have finally seen the fruit of my labor! Week after week being a second year River Bible School student, I have gone out on the streets knocking door to door telling people not only about Jesus, but also sharing the news about our Operation Raven- Food and Toy Distribution Outreach. I’ve had the privilege of inviting people from many different nationalities and different religious and financial backgrounds.

I served in the Ushers Club last Sunday and for the first part of the service I was greeting people, welcoming them, and helping them find the best possible seat. I’ve never been in that position before but I found great joy in recognizing new and old faces and personally welcoming them to church that morning. There was one woman in particular that I have gotten to know these past few weeks of being part of the Ushers Club every Sunday. Her name is Sharon and she comes with her boyfriend every Sunday. I’ve helped her answer the alter call a few Sundays back and I’ve noticed a dramatic difference. She’s beaming with the love of God and you can tell she’s receiving everything the River pours into her. She walked into the foyer and I welcomed her with a hug. Something was different about her that day though and I couldn’t figure it out. She finally told me- she used to need a walker in order to walk around but her body is healing and now she only using a cane!! The Lord is touching her body and we just started praising the Lord in the foyer of the church! We had our own revival service before church even started!

Along with greeting people in the beginning of the service, I also was in the front when the altar call took place to hand out tissues and to usher people to the front. It blessed me to see people coming from all corners of the church to answer the call the accept Jesus as the Lord and Savior of their life. All those times when I was out on the streets compelling people to come, it was all worth it for just those couple of minutes of people surrendering their life to the Lord. If all the work was just for one soul- it would have been worth it. Last Sunday’s service made an eternal difference on not only my life- but on all who were in attendance. I can’t wait to see what the Lord does next through this ministry!

I have listened to your stewardship series and testimonies about living by faith, living to give, living off of your giving, and believing God for big things. I was most impressed by the testimony of Debbie Rich also. As soon as I bought my car, I knew it would be a seed to sow when I finished paying for it. I finished paying for it in August of 2006. Before I came to the minister’s conference, God told me to sow it as a seed to my church here in Galveston. My pastor owns a car lot here. His partner caught the vision and gave one of his cars off the lot to a minister to go to Mexico to a conference in his hometown. One of my friends caught the vision and gave her van to the church she attends for the youth ministry to go places.

When I got back from the minister’s conference, I touched and agreed with the pastor that the Lord would send somebody to pay cash for that car. That same day the Lord healed him of diabetes, and last month, somebody came up to him and offered him cash for the car at only $500 less than the book value. I do not call my brother ‘Reverend Bill’ anymore–I call him ‘Raven Bill’ because he let me use his truck until I receive my car. I am friends with a couple who are missionaries to the Phillipines. They will be moving to the Phillipines this year. I will pick up the notes on their car when they leave America to go to the Phillipines full-time. These are exciting times for me because I am stepping out on faith in God. I withdrew part of my retirement money and have invested part of it into the kingdom of God. I remember when you spoke on that God WILL take care of you in your old age. I have cast my bread upon the waters. I know I will see a great return, because I truly am believing God for big things.

I was set on fire with soul winning my 1st day in tulsa at ghetto ,my goal was 10 and i reaped 18 souls. total sould won for me was 75 in 3 days. i was set on fire with holy laughter in each meeting. i want to know how to order the dvd discs for giving out for new converts pam mason

I am so excited about my I ipod! I take it everywhere I go. I also like the podcasts also. It reaches out to us personally even though we don’t know you personally and keeps us informed and encouraged about what God is doing. I also now have roadrunner so I can watch you live. It is almost like being there. That is so amazing how God gave you ideas and witty inventions. I saw how you were in one place and calling the people out in Ocala.

That was just great! It is just wonderful to see the anointing transferred! There is no limit to what God can do! I just want to let both of you know that I love you and I am praying for you that God will continue to use you mightily in these last days more and more not only to touch my life, but to touch others all around the world. I want to do my part to help send you around the world, not just physically, but digitally through the media of television and the internet. Some of my family and friends think that I am ‘out there’, but I feel like I am just getting started. I feel like I am behind time and have to catch up to be where God wants me to be in my faith so I can reach ‘my world’ for God.

Now when people met me they cannot see a trace of my old life and some people actually dont believe i ever went through anything at all because of the grace of God!!!! my life has been changed, not just me, God gave me a beautiful life, a loyal and faithful husband i thought id never have, my dad finally LOVES ME, YOU KNOW IT WAS SO HEARTBREAKING, MY LIFE BEFORE, MY LIFE RIGHT NOW STILL ISNT PERFECT BUT I KNOW IT COULD BE AND IT SHOULD BE BECAUSE I SHOULD BE MORE INVOLVED WITH GODS DOINGS, I HAVE THE HOLY SPIRIT, I HAVE A BEAUTIFUL GOD SENT VOICE SO WHY DONT I USE IT? THIS IS NOT ONLY A TESTIMONY BUT A PRAYER REQUEST BECAUSE I NEED TO BE MORE ON FIRE FOR GOD SO IM ASKING ANYONE WHO WOULD CARE TO PRAY FOR ME TO FIND A WAY TO GO TO THIS COLLEGE, THANK YOU, GOD BLESS YA FOR WHAT YA ARE DOING!!!!!
