All that I depended on, my job, my finances, even the money I had in the bank didn’t mean anything to me anymore, and all I desired was to know Jesus more.  I had a set amount of money that was going to help me and my family while I attended bible college, but when I started school, I realized that I had to sow the money as seed, as the Holy Spirit directed me.  This was the only way to break free from believing that I was going to take care of myself and instead fully depend on God to be my source.  I had to leave the world’s system of operation and enter into the Kingdom’s system of operation.

God has become my only source and I have realized that He is the only source I need for everything in this life.  I have such a sense of freedom, a release of many burdens, I know that I can trust God and have complete faith that He will open the right doors for me to work and do all that He sets before me.  I have not lacked any good thing, all of my bills and responsibilities have been taken care of, God is able to provide in natural and super natural ways as we are obedient to where He leads us.

I thank God for this ministry; it is opening the door for so many to know Christ and to shake this world with the truth of the gospel.  I believe this is biblical prophecy being fulfilled….Denise P.

I’m witnessing the move of God. Everything written in Acts, I am seeing up close and personal. People are getting healed when I pray in the name of Jesus over them, people are getting filled with the holy spirit (speaking in tongues), etc. I’ve witnessed these things many times in the past, from a far, sitting in the congregation. However, now GOD is using me! God is moving in me! I’m not bragging or boasting. I’m just excited to be used by God. I’m learning to yield to him!

Praying has always been something I’ve been “nervous” to do out loud. I am part of NBHC’s Nursing Home ministry, and I would pray for the patients silently. I stepped up a bit there and would pray a bit louder. However, since I started doing prayer and care phone lines, I have been filled with boldness and the nervousness is Gone. God gives me the words to say and I speak them out with confidence and boldness!!!

I understand more about God, the move of God, the authority God has given us, etc and it is changing my life. Even personal things in my life are changing. Personal fears are just gone, because I now have understanding of the word. I don’t have understanding of EVERYTHING, but I’m learning new things and lots of things everyday!

After I graduated I felt called to RBI. My first day at bible school I was late because I got a ticket and I didn’t have my driver’s license or proof of insurance. Even though I was late I was so happy when I got there because Pastor Eric greeted me at the door! Revival then started that week and continued as The Holy Spirit lead, Hallelujah. After the first few days I began to notice the levels of glory I could handle and they were very increasing each and every meeting. After the first week I picked up giving and I sewed my very nice Ibanez guitar to Eugene. Now every time I see him play it during worship it brings me so much joy and I believe that is part of my harvest. During the super special revival offering with Pastor Rodney I’ve sewed two pairs of shoes , a tie, cardigan, golf set, tackle box, bunch of clothes, notebooks, flashlight, money, mp3 car adapter, and my brand new iphone. I know The Word says what you give do in secret but this is a testimony and I just want you to know how transformed. I love everything here and part of my harvest is that I received a great paying impacting this is, not that you already don’t. I love, love, love to give.

I’m so transformed and continually being job working for the Lord through ADT Home Security. I’m so thankful for my boss who is an intern and is very flexible. I’m so thankful for this ministry and the scholarship I received. I love the staff, all the pastors, and I appreciate getting rebuked. I didn’t mention it which is ridiculous but I love soul winning too.

Since I have started attending the River School of Worship, I have had the privilege of working in the Great Awakening Prayer and Care Center. I have taken many calls, varying from needs such as a person who needed encouragement and direction in their life, a man who needed his marriage healed, and a woman who needed healing in her physical body.

A person who has truly stood out to me was a woman who called for her nephew. As soon as I answered her call and asked what she was calling for she started crying and said that her nephew was going to have heart surgery. I took down her contact information and asked if her nephew had accepted Jesus Christ as his lord and savior and she said yes. I proceeded to ask if she was a christian and living fully sold out for God. After she said yes to both of these questions I quoted healing scriptures and had her write down some scripture references so that she could stand on God’s word and his promises every day. We then linked our faith as I led in a prayer reminding God of his promises for health in our physical bodies and then spoke to the heart disease in her nephew’s body, cursing it and telling it to leave his body. I then prayed for peace in her life and encouraged her to call back with her praise report.

Taking calls and having the privilege of encouraging, helping and praying with people who are calling in already hungry for God and expecting results based on the word of God is definitely something that is helping stir up a hunger for God in my life….James P.

Since coming to RBI, there have been many challenges that I have had to face.  Moving far from home to a new area with no support system that I once had, was hard in itself. I have learned that there is a completely different culture here that I have to adapt to, new people and different viewpoints. But this is a critical time in my life; God has sent me out on my own to take that next step in my Faith, so the challenges are only going to grow me into a better leader.

The pastors here have taught me so much in just a short time, and I am blown away by all I’m learning. I have had a hard time here, but I had an awesome encounter one Wednesday night at Student Ministries when Pastor Allen prophesied over my life. It was confirmation that I am called to be a youth pastor and this is my new season to grow and let go of some things I’ve been clinging on to. It’s so awesome to see what God has been doing in such a short time with me at RBI, I can’t wait to see the change in me at the end of this year….Adrian R.

We are to wait on the Lord and trust Him.
We are to be a burning light for Him so that others won’t spend eternity in hell.
In history past the people didn’t know when Jesus was going to come, but they had endless trust in the Lord anyways.

We need to be more like them…and trust that the Lord will be faithful to follow through with His word.
There are three types of fires:
1. Fire now
2. Fire at the judgment seat of Christ
3. The Fire of hell
If you let the fire burn now it will purify.  
If you let it burn now you will have precious jewels to lay at Jesus feet.
Don’t mock the Holy Ghost.  It’s not a game. 
One hundred twenty people were filled with the Holy Ghost on the day of Pentecost and they were endued with Power from on high.

The promise is unto you and your children’s children.

It’s not about a touch…but about a change.  What are you going to do with it?  
Are you going to use it to reach your community for eternity? 
You cannot care what others think. And you shouldn’t care about what you look like.  What God thinks is the only thing that counts.

When you are out under the anointing… you cannot underestimate the change that is taking place. The fire of God will burn out EVERYTHING that is not of God.    And you will be empowered to be all that you can be and you will be completely changed from the inside out. -Melissa A

As you open you the doors the sounds hit you!!!! The yells, screams, hoots and hollering. The sound is loud and infectious! It’s like you are in the stadium of the Tampa Bucs fans at the best game. But no you have come to a place full of people that love Jesus more than life! This is just the second day of Winter Campmeeting but day twenty-two of the Great Awakening! So far this place has been exploded with the raw power of God! We have step over into the full realm of what God wants us to be doing here in this ministry.

That is telling people about Jesus and demonstrating the raw power of God. We are making history, not just because we are live on TV every night for free, not because we have the best crew working, or that we don’t take an offering on TV!! We are making history we are so fortunate to usher in the coming of Lord Jesus Christ!  -Teresa T.

Well, what can I say about this last week?  There aren’t many words that can describe what God has been doing in me and for me.  There are many great things that I could go on about but I will just focus on a couple of them.  First, this has been a week of tremendous blessing financially.  God has blessed me to the point of eliminating some major debt.  My car got paid off being the biggest of them all.  This will absolutely free me up to do many things that I have not previously been able to do. 

This is something that I have prayed for, worked for, and believed God about for a long time.  Because of the debt that has been eliminated it will save me over half my salary back into my hands to help further fund the gospel.  Praise God!  The second thing that I would like to share is what God did on the streets this last week. I was able to be a team leader for a group that for the large majority had never been soul winning before in their life. 

I was able to help train them and show them that the power of God works when we simply put all the pressure on Him and let Him use us.  We were on the streets for about one hour and the team I had was able to lead 52 people to the Lord.  This was amazing considering eight of the eleven people on my team had never been soul winning before.  God is continually faithful to His Word!  -Darrell G.

This is about the caring and love of God for each person. Last week while soul winning, I knocked on the door of an apt and heard two small children making noise and heard a man yelling at them. No one answered the door so my daughter and I began to walk away. As we were leaving, we heard the windows rattle as if something , hopefully not someone, was being thrown against that wall and making the windows rattle. Even my 9 year old daughter knew something wasn’t right. I really didn’t want to leave but what can you do if no one will open the door? I felt impressed of the Lord to pray “that someone would open the door”.

The instruction went no further than that. So I stood at the bottom of the stairs and prayed for a minute or two and went back up the stairs and knocked on the door. This time there were no sounds coming from the apt. No one answered. My daughter and I began to walk across the parking lot when my daughter told me that someone had opened the door. So I ran back up and a young man stood in the doorway holding the hand of a one year old child.  I gave him our church flyer and he told me that his wife was the “God person”. He was an atheist. I asked him if he knew how much God loved him and had a wonderful plan for his life and he stated, “I don’t believe in God anymore.

I asked him if he were to die today is he 100% sure that he would go to heaven and he stated that right now he “was choosing purgatory”. He was very polite and very politely shut the door in my face. My daughter was disappointed that he didn’t give his life to the Lord, however as I explained to her, the Lord knew what this man needed to hear and by hearing that God loves him, I believe that this man will return to the Lord. It’s already done in the Spirit.  As we yield to the Spirit of God in circumstances such as this, God will touch their heart and they will be saved.-Jeff P.

Recently I was at the post office and locked my keys in the car and had to call family to come and help. While waiting in the parking lot a man came up and parked along side. I asked if i could use his phone to make the call to family to bring other set of keys. Later he came out of post office, he started to get in his car and stopped and looked at me quietly for a second, in that quiet moment the Holy Spirit told me to share the gospel with him. a split second after the enemy said but you don’t have a script to read from. then a split second after that The holy spirit said just speak!!!!, and so i did and he received Jesus into his heart, it was precious moment, and he was changed, made more joyful, and encouraged right before my eyes, we hugged and he went on his way. It was evidence to me The Holy Spirit is my helper! hallelujah!

Then as I was floating with joy after that experience, I felt someone tap on my shoulder. as I turned, it was another man who said ” i over heard what you were saying with that other man and I want some too”, Glory to God he got saved and the joy and peace of God flooded him too. Then when my dad came to get me, who OH BY THE WAY!!, (Pastor Daniel always says that) I’m believing will be saved one day soon, I had to tell of what just happened while waiting. The far reaching implications of this GAT is not known, it’s GOOD! My family will be saved, hallelujah I now have the script Memorized thank you, to the Pastors, thank you Jesus. –Jeff P.
