Week three was just so Beautiful of just seen everyone giving what they had.  That just touched my heart.  I had never experienced something like that of seen everyone giving.  Something that I would never forget, I always been a giving person even if it’s the last thing I have but if there was any gritty in me left, I can say that is all gone.

I think that having to extend the orientation for more than one week was Gods plans, I know he had to do what he had to do in my life and in the other students, there is a lot more to tell but I know I had passed more than three hundred word, I can say that I am not the same person from three weeks before, I also believe there is more to come, I fully depend on God for everything in my life and I am just so exited to see what is next  for me so I can help other.  RBI has been such a blessing to me in just three weeks, I pray to God so that he continues to blessing to all of you….Luz M.

RBI has Impact my life and showed me that God is preparing us for great things for His kingdom and His glory, thanks to these men and women of God. Being in these classes is a real oasis I could only see and feel the anointing power in this place is something I never had happened. The power of touch of the Holy Spirit in a supernatural way of life each one of us in these classes. The fire of God is here, thank you Jesus.

I could feel the touch of God in my life these three weeks have been one of the best, in my Christian life new level of glory. in this picture I command was the 5 day of class and power of the Holy Spirit touched me in a way that I could not understand, I prayed asking of him, new languages ??Holy Spirit.

I felt that someone took my hand, I think the Pastor said, bring me to where he was, and my mouth began to speak with new tongues, crying laughing was something beautiful that I will never forget.

The River International Church has been a blessing to me.  I have been longing for a  church,  a place where people truly care for one another. The River church is a place that I can truly see that  the people love the way Jesus loves.  The staff is Outstanding, Giving ,Truly blessed and Anointed .

I came here with a big wall around myself not wanting to get hurt like in the past.  It has been three weeks since coming here from Mobile, AL and I know the wall has been lowered more than halfway but I know without a doubt it will be totally gone.

I was told through a word of prophecy to pack my belongings, I will be moving, at that time I new nothing about The River International Church or  about The Great Awakening.  This occurred in March 2011 and I had just moved from Texas in January to Mobile, AL to attend college at the University of Mobile. While in Mobile I attended the Bay of the Holy Spirit Revival where Evangelist Nathan Morris was ministering (FIRE).  I had no idea that I would find myself here in Tampa, FL until I watched and observed The Great Awakening on CTN and in my heart I knew this was the place I will be moving to.  When I saw Pastor Browne on TV the older videos, I remembered watching TV with my mom and seeing Pastor Browne on TBN  and I said to myself “ I wish I could go to his church”  and at this time  he was I believe just visiting from Africa or he had just moved to the U.S.A.       AMAZING!!!

It is a miracle that i am here today at the Bible school, three months ago I was in Huntsville, Alabama. With God Grace I am here today. Since I got here my life has been radically changed. It is one this to read about believing God to provide for my life and it is another thing to have to live it. Three weeks ago I had to quit my job which provided security for me and my children and come to Bible school. I almost did not come because I was too worried about my kids and I though it was impossible for me to do it, But I can truly say it today with God nothing is impossible. I obey my God and let go of my Job and I surrender my life and my children to God completely. The day I joined the school some people thought I have lost my mind but I did not care much what they think, I care what Lord my God think of me. One week after the Bible school started the Lord gave me a Job which was perfect for the school schedule and more than that He gave me a Job that is

Five dollars more than what i was getting paid an hour in my former Job. I am telling you I said five dollar more an hour Halelujah, Glory to God. I know now without a doubt the my God is my provider and He is always on time. One more thing I was very afraid to pray for people but now not only I cannot wait to see God move, everyone i have prayed within call center and Soul winning time for healing, they received instant healing. It gets better i work at night when I am at work I speak in Tongues all night and I as the Lord be real to me and I believe He is  real person of Jesus, He will feel me with His heavy presence my whole body receive shocks and i will feel Him holding my Hand like a Father leading a Child, I am having a blessing with the Lord in my whole life i knew the God of the Bible but now i know the one who comes to me all the time even during classes. God you are Good my Lord, you are too Good to me, Thank you for RBI and thank you for Pastor Rodney and the whole Church Lord…..Devotha M.

How blessed am I!! Extremely, not because of money, or things, but because I have the greatest opportunity to be part of a ministry that only focuses on eternal things. Pastor Rodney lets the Holy Spirit have complete control of the service. And when you let that happen, He can move in people’s hearts as He needs. I am so greatly thankful for a man of God that is obedient to do what God has called him to do.

When we let go, the Holy Spirit can move freely in our lives, and in turn we affect those around us. The Holy Spirit is there to help and comfort us, but He is more there for those around us. I have changed so much by letting the Holy Spirit have control of my life and heart. This ministry gets out of the way and lets the Holy Spirit have His way. I would have never done have half the things I have done, without the Holy Spirit, and the wonderful pastoral staff of RMI. They have poured out all that they have in them into me and others.

They have poured into us so that we can go and pour out to others. As I have sat under this ministry, my heart has gone from just loving the Lord to doing what the Lord has called every believer to do. Go out and tell others about Jesus! And it has radically changed how I look at people. My vision has gone just doing my thing to doing all that the Lord has for me. I can honestly say that I never had an eternal vision until coming to The River. -Teresa T

It was just beyond words to have the Lord working miracles in these people’s lives. One woman who had knee surgery was up walking around with her pain level which dropped from an 8 or 9 to a 2 just in the few minutes we prayed on the phone. Her husband also felt his depression lift totally. God uses us all you have to be is willing to let him.  –Shawnalee F.

So this week has been insane! I have been able to be in the call center taking prayer calls this week and it’s been amazing. One lady called for help to get to the meetings this week and I told her I wasn’t able to help with money but what I could do is apply my faith with her and God would provide. So I prayed with her last Tuesday and this Thursday I sat next to someone I never met before. I introduced myself and she told me her name and it sounded familiar.

Come to find out this was the same lady I prayed with. God supernaturally provided for her, her husband, and her daughter to come to the meeting! Not only that awesome thing happened Thursday but also that night meeting was ridiculously amazing. Heaven certainty came down. The Holiness of God was made huge that night as angels sang. To be apart was amazing and it continued for me when I was on the way home, at home, and the next morning. I’m feeling His presence even now as I type this. Be encouraged, if you want a touch from God just surrender your life and allow Him to use you to pour out. Your life will never be the same! That’s a promise.  –Ryan M.

Today, I went to class at RBI.  The first class of the day brought up two bibles school students. They began to share how God had invaded A Bible study the night before- healings, salvations and deliverances and the awing presence of God touched and changed lives.  No more 20 minutes later I found myself in blubbering mess on the floor.  God has begun to make me hungry for Him again.  It’s time now to step out into God’s plan in faith and not allow offense or anything else in our heart. 

I was in the store yesterday and approached a man on the way out to ask He knew that God loved him. He said that he had heard that before but wasn’t sure if he was going to heaven.   After I had prayed with him to accept Christ into his heart, I went to drive home.   I thank God I am chosen to witness the greatest miracle on earth of one passing from death to life; however I knew there was something more.  I almost felt like something was missing- the heart of God.  The power of the love of God to save, to heal, to deliver and to set free is to be active everyday.

I had become slack and wasn’t soul winning with a passion.  After today I make a choice to stir up the gift that is me – don’t let the devil get a word in edgewise about your purpose or future because God’s purpose and plan is already mapped out for you- yield to the power of God and stay in His presence.  –Ruth N.

What a week this has been ! It seems that The Great Awakening is spreading out across all over the world and the Holy Spirit is touching and changing more and more people. Last week I was ministering on the phones answering incoming calls and praying for people’s needs. That was awesome! It may sound little controversial thou it’s truth that you may know some things but until you experience them you really didn’t know what it’s all about and how does it feels. That’s how it was to me when I prayed for people over the phones. Every time as soon as I started to do that , anointing came over me in so tangible way as if I could grab it by my hands, sometimes it seemed like an air all around has got thick !I have experienced it before , but didn’t even think that it can come upon me while on the phone.

But the best part is that not only I got under the anointing – people on the other side of the line often told that they feel unusual warmth, peace, and other ways described the presence of God. And the coolest thing is that since I prayed for about a dozen persons I got it many times or to be more exact literally spent several hours in it. While I was busy ministering to others God got busy ministering to me !!! I really got built up and refreshed. Highly recommend try it out to anyone, it’s definitely blessing not a job.-Dzintars

When thinking or talking about these meetings that are taking place live on C.T.N every night, only one word comes to mind “revival”. AMEN! I’ve been to every meeting besides one. I’ve worked security every night; even know I have been serving every night I have still been hit with the power. Guess you can say I was drinking on the job, which is some of the times I get hit with the power the most. This past week the Holy Ghost has been working on me. It is not always easy hearing some of the things the Holy Ghost speaks to you to change or to do. If could tell people one thing about these meetings. It would probably have to be that they should get in as many of these meetings as possibly.

Last night which was 01-06-2011 I was on the wall, which would have been the floor if the wall was not there. I was laughing because, I full of joy. If you have never had the joy, you really need to get down to the river church in Tampa, FL. There is really no real way I can explain the way you feel when you receive joy, it is just wow. When you receive the joy, all your worries leave. You may be saying how does it work, well it is GOD doing a work. If you have a question about any of it, come to one of the meetings for your self. You will see that this is real. AMEN!-Matthew B.

When I came this year to the first service of Great Awakening in Tampa I saw many cars in the parking. It surprised me because I know most Bible School students didn’t yet come back. I though that God had sand some more thirsty, hungry and full of expectations people like me. The sanctuary was crowded and Holy Spirit started His work. The simple and powerful message of Pastor Rodney Howard-Browne opened hearts of unsaved for receiving the gospel. I was reminded again and again that the power of the Holy Ghost from the Day of Pentecost is the same today. I saw people changed. The discourage and depressed people ware happy. Others left theirs boundaries and sin at the feet of Jesus while being set free. I could see how much several scriptures from first and second chapter of Acts can change spiritual situation. It was the Gospel preached with God’s changing power. The next two days the anointing increased. People were encouraged to commit their lives to Jesus. Pastor presented the parable of wise and fool virgins with fresh revelation from God making listeners awake. Some people came on front to receive new anointing. God put in to my heart new passion for God’s things and gave me strong desire to keep intimate fellowship with Him. Third day service Pastor Adonica delivered her testimony with power of Holy Ghost. I know personally the changing power of the Holy Spirit. When I was young I was shy person, but God gave me boldness and He teaches me all the time to not be afraid of new challenges. -Sylwia P.
