There is so much more that needs to be done and that I can allow God to do through me. I understand even though it hurts being under the fire being purged it is very necessary to fulfill the call God has for my life. God must first do a work in me before he can do a work through me. God has revealed his love to me over the last three weeks like never before. God has become more real to me than ever before. Just from watching one of the reruns from the RBI REVIVAL service the power of God came into my bedroom and took complete control. I was over whelmed with joy and love! I could not stay still and the fire of God was strong I couldn’t say a word but make attempts that came out as babblings and giggles. Now just the thought of him brings his anointing where ever I am.

Me and my husband are closer than we ever have been and God has told me that I don’t have to carry this heavy weight that I have been dragging behind me for all these years , he wants me to give it all to him for his burden is light.  I have learned the secret of provision. Pastor Rodney has taught us that all we need is in our hands. The Lord is my source and supply and the more you sow the more you reap. I have grabbed a hold of giving and it has reaped bountifully! I and my husband have been receiving extra money every month with extra left over, when before we were giving we were tight on finances now we give God ten percent of all we gain and even more to secure our harvest by sowing seeds in the ground. Who would have thought give more receive more, God has chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise. I am so blessed and can’t wait to see what else the Lord has in store….Tiffany M.

I hadn’t won anyone to Christ since about 10 years ago, but in these past couple weeks I’ve won nine souls for the Kingdom of God, which has set me free of any insecurity or timidity in this area.  I actually look forward to go soul winning again.  I love spending time in the presence of God and in worship.  Coming to RBI, I am spending more time in His presence than I have in awhile, and it is amazing.  I feel more confident, unashamed of my Lord and Savior, and I am excited to be in a place where I can learn so much more about God than I have ever before.

The principle of sowing and reaping has been taught and emphasized so much, and I am grabbing a hold of it.  God is my source and provider, not my job.  I am trusting God to provide all that I need here, and therefore I am cheerfully giving more than I have ever before, sowing seed into good ground, and expecting an abundant harvest.  The last couple weeks have been painful to my flesh, yet at the same time my spirit is being refreshed and strengthened.  My eyes are being opened to a whole new dimension of the ministry and the daily walk of the Christian life.

For me the first two weeks of the RBI revival, I was in Texas planning not to attend my second

year of RBI. I had already signed up for another school there making other arrangements. So

coming into the second week of revival, I knew I was to come back. Like as if God shook me and woke me to come. two days before I knew I was to come my oldest brother gave me his car, which I had been expecting a car because God had me sow my car into someones life last year in school. So then I was blessed with gas money to get down here and me and my younger brother drove down here in faith not knowing how it would work out or where we would live and arrived to Tampa at the end of the second week. When we got here I felt the peace of God and have felt it ever since, because I obeyed the Holy Ghost.

The full week that I was here was when Pastor Rodney preached all week on the subject of giving, and some people were like ok it’s good but do we need a whole week of it. And yes we do because money is everything in this world, things are everything in this world, we are constantly surrounded by it and challenged by it daily. So daily we have to give it all to God for it not to be a god in our life. So it really hit me hard and I can say that I will never be the same from that week and especially the day where it broke on the whole school. So i can say that i will never be the same again on giving and the heart of my giving. I cant imagine myself not here this year and the breakthroughs that have happened and are still to come.

River School of Worship is huge blessing for me! To come to RSW was the best decision I have ever made in my life! Youth meetings, Worship times and classes are educative. Especially i learned so many things about to use of the gospel soul winning script.

I can feel God’s presence at the church every time I am there. God is really doing awesome things inside of me. He is preparing me for the ministry in Turkey.

Sunday night was my first time at the call center of River Church! I thought my English is not very well for this yet. But it’s not about me; it’s all about the Word of God. Just when you read to the Word of God, it really works!

It was awesome, people were so hungry and they had so many prayer request. 3 people healed on the phone! I experienced it here. I am so excited about what God will do in my life. The power of God is real…..Nida G.

Even though I’ve been saved since I was 5, and raised in a good Christian home I lived a very defeated life. God wasn’t real to me, I didn’t have or care about having a personal relationship with him. He always seemed so far away, so when I went through something hard he was usually the last one I turned to for help.

I had a terrible time sleeping because I was very fearful of things that sound ridiculous to me now. I thought I would be left behind when Jesus came back because God forgot about me. I was afraid of dying in my sleep. I would lay awake, tears rolling down my face because I was too scared to close my eyes but too tired to keep them open.

I also had problems physically, like sometimes my heart would skip a beat. I had migraine headaches, and trouble focusing my eyes in and out.

Plus, I’ve always been a very shy, timid person. Like I heard someone else say, I wouldn’t even order my own food at a restaurant because I didn’t want to talk to the waitress.

I’ve been a part of the River Church since February 2011 and since then God and His Word have become more real to me than ever before. I always knew in my head that his promises were for me but now it’s getting down into my heart. I’ve been pressing in like I didn’t even know was possible. RBI especially has helped me go deeper into the things of God. I wish everyone could come and experience this with me.

I now sleep SOUNDLY through the night, no fear at all. My heart has a light feeling and beats in time. I can’t remember the last time I had a migraine. I thought I would have to get glasses and I don’t. I proclaim the Gospel to total strangers, I’ve taken nearly 100 calls in the call center already, and I order my own lunch.

One of my favorite verses is Matthew 6:33 which says, “But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.” Because that’s what I did, I went after God and one by one my problems left.

God is so amazingly good, just thinking about all this stuff that He’s done for me puts a smile on my face…..Mary K P.

It has been amazing to see what God is doing throughout the services in the Great Awakening Meetings here in Tampa, Fl. The power and presence of God has been so strong in the meetings! I have been involved in the production team throughout some of the meetings. The production team from CTN has come in and has given great advice to me as a director on how to improve the quality of our broadcast. They have been very gracious and a pleasure to learn from and work with. I have learned so much about TV broadcasting and how to run a professional TV studio and set. 

It is exciting to help in making the broadcast available throughout the world! This broadcast is impacting so many lives! The people watching will call the phone number on the TV and get impacted with the fire of God.  The phones were ringing off the hook! Then the operators were praying the fire of God down. People were getting saved, set free, delivered and baptized in the Holy Spirit. Some people just wanted to know more about soul winning.

With soul winning classes during the week, people are going out every day to win the lost at any cost. I personally have been challenged to be a witness to more people where ever I go and live a life style of soul winning. And this is only the beginning of what God wants to do! We will see America shaken! -Emily P

The Lord is so good. We have been broadcasting live for a few weeks now and we are hearing tons of testimonies of how the Lord has moved not only in the church building but in people’s homes who are watching through CTN or RBN or on revival.com.  The thing I love most about hearing the testimonies and I love most about the Lord is the fact that the Lord is not a respecter of persons. Whoever you are, wherever you are, you can get touched and changed by God.

If you search for Him you will find him, the Bible says that those who hunger and thirst after righteousness will be filled, all you have to do is get hungry. There are so many testimonies of people calling in and their lives are dramatically changed through one phone call. People are searching for truth. People who are wanting to give up are being refreshed, people who are lost and searching for truth are getting saved. People are getting healed and delivered. 

There is something so great about hearing these testimonies, this is what the Lord wants to do for His people. He wants to use us, for us to be His hands and feet, and as we go people are lead to Him. It is so exciting to know that we are doing what the Word of God tells us to do. Growing up I had always heard it preached that we should lay hands on the sick, and cast out devils, and share our faith but now seeing it put  into action is so much better. The Bible tells us to be doers and not just hears of the Word and when you are walking in the will of God and doing what He tells you there is nothing better than that. -Marjike D.

Since the Great Awakening campaign has started, many people have impacted by the preaching of the Word of God and have been compelled to go out and witness. I, myself, have felt the urgency to witness. Often times, I do not feel like talking to someone about my faith. Not because I am scared, but rather, I am in a rush or feel that I would be inconveniencing that person. In reality, if that individual does not pray to receive Christ, he will spend an eternity in hell. All it would have cost that person is two minutes to pray with me. I would not be inconveniencing him, but saving him from going into a lost eternity. Sometimes, fear does creep in though, and try to sway me from opening my mouth and sharing the Gospel.

The Gospel is good news. I must tell others about how good God is and what He has done for me, other wise how can I say I love God and not want to talk about Him to others? If a husband says that he loves his wife but never talks about her or does anything special for her, does he truly love her? I think not. Love is a noun but also a verb, implying that action is needed. That is why I must share the Gospel regardless of how I feel. It is the Great Commission, not the Great Suggestion and it is my job to fulfill it.  –Hannah P.

This week during the Great Awakening services we have seen the Lord absolutely show up and show out! It is such a privilege to be a part of such a move of God. I was so taken back last night to hear the cry of desperation and hunger of each generation represented as we lifted our voices together at the end of last  night’s service; it was so exciting to be in the same room with so many hungry people. God is truly moving in our mist!

What I think is so amazing about The Great Awakening services and almost any service at the River for that matter, is that Pastor Rodney may be speaking something completely different from what the Lord is saying specifically to each individual. I loved last night when Pastor Rodney was encouraging us to just focus in on God and not on other people getting touched by God, because God had something for each and every one of us there that He wanted to speak to us if we would just have an ear to hear and get hungry for Him. He who hungers and thirst for righteousness shall be filled; what an amazing promise!

For me personally, last night was one of the best services I have ever experienced at the River. God did such a deep work in my heart, as I know in did in the hearts of many others also. The love, forgiveness, and mercy of God hit me so strong last night; I was crying and laughing to the point that I could hardly walk. I believe God gave me a glimpse last night of the never-ending love of God, and it was such a revelation! The bible says that it is His kindness that leads men to repentance, and that is what God was so ministering to me was that all the things I think He may be disappointed with in me isn’t His focus. His love is so completely all-consuming, and His mercy is new every morning! –Davis T.

Hi my name is Jared Johnson and it is my second week at R.B.I. I am being so blessed and truly touched by the Lord Jesus Christ. I have always been a shy person and being a part of this ministry and school is exactly what i need in my life. So far since I have been soul winning. I have led 6 people to the Lord and 5 were over the phone. I was working in the call center last night and got to stand in agreement with 6 people for their needs in prayer.4 of them accepted the Lord over the phone and the other 2 already had Jesus in their heart. The call center is a super powerful experience and the whole time I was on the phone I was filled with the fire of God.

Going in to the call canter I felt drained and worn out and the first person I talked to the fire of God was speaking through me and it just totally took the focus off myself and put it on the needs and the love that i am supposed to have for other people as a follower of Jesus Christ. The Lord has really put on my heart to reach out to the needs of others. I was filled with joy all night since i started in the call center. I am beginning to get the true revelation of what it truly means to Love God and to Love people and whenever I keep the focus on God and People it seems to be like I am operating in the perfect will of God in my life and everything falls right into place the way it should and I am filled with fire. It is the moment I take focus off of God and others that the enemy comes in for the kill on my soul. I am now more excited in my life then I have ever been before to out reach to people and see the doors of Gods plan unfold in my life and the lives of others.

I’m going out on the streets tomorrow after school and contributing to the population of the Kingdom of God which I believe will bring great fruit in this life for me and the lives of others and the life to come in an everlasting Kingdom with our Lord and savior Jesus Christ. I want to thank God for the connection of this ministry to come into my small town of Roscoe Illinois at the perfect time in my life and touch my heart in this end time harvest. I believe this is going to be not only a life changing experience for myself but also to my whole family and to the many others that will be effected through the fire of God through me overflowing into the lives of others and spreading and spreading and spreading throughout whatever  land I step foot in and whatever land the people that get touched step foot in. This is huge to me and I believe this is going to get bigger and bigger each and every day. I am so blessed to be a part of this world changing power of God. –Jared J.
