In regards to soul winning, it is amazing to see how God has used me, just by using the script. It has truly impacted my life to have a tool in my hand that is easy and effective and most importantly a tool that snatches someone who was on their way to hell and is now on their way to heaven. I personally feel so honored and blessed to be in a church that is mobilized to reach souls and is so on fire on God. I know that as a result of this tool,

I personally have been mobilized to reach a lost and dying world that I might not have been able to reach had it not been for this so easy and very effective tool that even a child can use and they do. Winning souls is the core essential to Christianity, without it, I would dare to say that we should not even call ourselves Christians.

To be a Christian is to be Christ like, and Christ was all about winning souls. Before He descended into the heavens, He sent His disciples to preach the gospel to every creature, to lay hands on the sick, to preach deliverance to the captives, to heal the broken hearted, to preach the acceptable year of the Lord. I believe that the life of the believer would not be complete without it. There is such a joy and a feeling of satisfaction and fulfillment when you do what you’ve been called to do. There is no other feeling like it.

Every church should use this tool in their church and mobilize the people and see how the Lord blesses you. It is very simple, at first I was very nervous, but as you continue to do it, you will get bolder with the help of the Holy Spirit, always remembering that if they reject you, they’re not rejecting you, they’re rejecting Jesus. You are simply planting a seed and after that it’s out of your hands. Go freely! Go bold!

Stopping the Hunger Period, Second Part by Rodney Howard Browne

Problems we Encounter by Rodney Howard Browne

Yesterday we checked out the words of the soothsayer Amos who expected a famine—not one of hunger for literal food or for water. Amos foresaw a famine for hearing God’s truth announced.

“Behold, days are coming,” declares the Lord GOD,. Not a famine for bread or a thirst for water,. But rather for hearing the words of the LORD. They’ll go to and fro to find the word of the LORD,. But they won’t find it.” ( Amos 8:11-12 ). Unless you are an exception and you end up under the sound of trustworthy, pointed, deep, and bold proclamations of God’s written Word week after week, you may admit that you’re in the middle of that famine.

Whether you realize it or not, the toll it is taking on you and those you like is just devastating. Let’s recommit ourselves to breaking that famine.

First, pray that God will force a resurrection in the hearts of His people—a revival of interest in the private reading and studying of His Word. Pray for seminaries where God’s ministers are being trained to handle and declare the Truth. Pray for your pastor—for adequate time to be spent in the study, preparing. And then for bravery to “preach the Word” with authority.

Infrequently do congregations get more serious about spiritual things than their priest, so pray for a renewing of fervour. 2nd , start to nourish yourself in the Scriptures.

Get serious about “fixing your own religious meals” instead of depending on some other person to prepare all those meals for you. Don’t allow yourself to be happy with non secular fast food served by shallow, slipshod communicators. Third, consider beginning a Bible class in your own house. Nice things can happen in settings like that. There’s a large amount of non secular nourishment to be gained in groups committed to learning and growing together. 

The Devil Attacks Our Minds

Tuesday, June 30th, 2009

Rodney Howard Browne shows us a dear

Devil’s attacks against our minds are skillful. By watching how we live, he can identify when and where we are defenseless. While he is not omniscient, he knows about enough to work against us. First, he directs our attention to something we need.

His goal is for us to get so mixed up in our apparent desires that we forget the amazing things God has provided for us. Rodney Howard Browne teaches that when we have narrowed our focus to getting satisfaction, the Enemy meets our need with what he wants us to have -something that may ultimately draw us away from God. Next, he selects his time to attack. By observing us, he knows those moments when we are most sure to say yes to enticement. He’ll do anything in his power to get our minds off God and will distract us even during prayer.
He also understands our emotional temperature and looks for isolation, weariness, and other feelings he’ll exploit. Rodney Howard Brown explains that the Devil urges us to “want it now” and tries to cover from view any future results.

Eventually , the Demon works to make doubt in our minds. He wants us to ask the truth of the Word, and even to feel doubtful about our deliverance. Once skepticism sets in, as it probably did for Adam and Eve ( Genesis 3:1-6 ), our minds start rethinking the interpretation of Scripture to make a case for our conduct. Pastor Rodney Howard Browne explains that while we are subject to Devil’s schemes, we aren’t helpless.(two Timothy seventeen ) Our heavenly Father protects us, our Savior intercedes for us, and the Holy Spirit guides us to the Truth.

PRAY GOD’S WORD by Rodney Howard Browne

Friday, October 31st, 2008

Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering (for he is faithful that promised). Hebrews 10:23 KJV

Rodney Howard Browne teaches us to pray God’s Word.

“Profession” is another word for “confession.” God’s word never fails. God’s word never returns to him void – without producing or prospering. If we want to see God’s blessing on our lives, we need to confess what God’s word says about us. We need to speak God’s word over ourselves. These are some prayers from the Bible that you can speak over yourself. You will renew your mind and fill your heart with faith. Most of all, the Lord will hear your prayer and grant your petition.

Father, I pray that You would grant me a spirit of wisdom and revelation – of insight into mysteries and secrets in the deep and intimate knowledge of You. Flood the eyes of my heart with light so that I can know and understand the hope to which You have called me and how rich is your glorious inheritance in the saints – Your set-apart ones. And so that I can know and understand what is the immeasurable and unlimited and surpassing greatness of Your power in and for me, who believes, as demonstrated in the working of Your mighty strength which You exerted in Christ when You raised Him from the dead and seated Him at your own right hand in heavenly places.

Ephesians 1:17-20

I bow my knees before You, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, for Whom every family in heaven and on earth is named. May You grant me out of the rich treasury of Your glory to be strengthened and reinforced with mighty power in the inner man by the Holy Spirit, Himself indwelling my inner most being and personality. May Christ, through faith, actually dwell – settle down, abide, make – His permanent home in my heart. May I be rooted deep in love and founded securely on love. That I may have the power and be strong to apprehend and grasp with all the saints – God’s devoted people – the experience of that love – what is the breadth and length and height and depth of it. That I may really come to know – practically, through experience for myself – the love of Christ, which far surpasses mere knowledge without experience – that I may be filled through all my being unto all the fullness of God – that I may have the richest measure of the divine Presence and become a body wholly filled and flooded with God Himself!

Ephesians 3:14-19

Father, I pray and make special request asking that I may be filled with the full, deep and clear knowledge of Your will in all spiritual wisdom – in comprehensive insight into the ways and purposes of God – and in understanding and discernment of spiritual things. That I may walk, live and conduct myself in a manner worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing to You and desiring to please You in all things, bearing fruit in every good work and steadily growing and increasing in and by the knowledge of God – with fuller, deeper and clearer insight, acquaintance and recognition. I pray that I may be invigorated and strengthened with all power according to the might of Your glory, to exercise every kind of endurance and patience – perseverance and forbearance with joy. I give thanks to You, Father, Who has qualified and made me fit to share the portion, which is the inheritance of the saints – God’s holy people in the Light.

Colossians 1:9-12

Rodney Howard Browne WHAT DO YOUR EYES SEE?

Friday, August 29th, 2008

Rodney Howard Browne Your Eyes

Therefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints, do not cease to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers: that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him, the eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, and what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the working of His mighty power which He worked in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places, far above all principality and power and might and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in that which is to come. And He put all things under His feet, and gave Him to be head over all things to the church, which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all.  Ephesians 1:15-23 NKJV

Rodney Howard Browne shows us that when the Bible talks about your “eyes” as it does in this passage of scripture, it means “eyes” in a figurative sense. It is referring to your attitudes and opinions – the way you see God, yourself and others. Your attitudes toward God, the world around you and other people, is colored by your experiences and the information your have received through your five physical senses. You are what you know and you are what you believe. In a sense you do not and cannot choose what information comes to you to try to influence you, but you can choose what you will receive. You can’t stop the birds from flying over your head, but you can prevent them from making a nest in your hair! You can decide what to hear and what to see out of all the information that comes your way. You can close your eyes and ears to the negative and all that is bad and open your eyes and ears to all that is pure and good.

 

Then the serpent said to the woman, “You will not surely die. For God knows that in the day you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.” So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree desirable to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate. She also gave to her husband with her, and he ate. Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves coverings. And they heard the sound of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God among the trees of the garden. Then the LORD God called to Adam and said to him, “Where are you?” So he said, “I heard Your voice in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked; and I hid myself.” And He said, “Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree of which I commanded you that you should not eat?” Genesis 3:4-11 NKJV

Adam and Eve had the most wonderful relationship with the Father, at first. They had not known or experienced evil in any form. Disobedience opened their eyes to know evil. They were naked before they sinned, but they were not ashamed. Their “eyes” saw only the good in everything. Sin changed their focus. Their eyes were suddenly opened to shame and guilt.

Rodney Howard Browne teaches us that the Father wants us to be restored to Him in our attitudes and outlook. He wants us to see the awesome things that we have in Him and where we are in relationship to Him. He wants the eyes of our heart and our understanding to be enlightened so that we might know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, and what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe.

You chose the way you see things. You choose the way you see your world by what you feed yourself on – what you see, hear and meditate on. You need to feed yourself on God’s word so that your eyes will be enlightened to what you have in Christ Jesus. The Father wants us to open our eyes to understand and know Him and His kingdom. He wants us to understand what He has done in us and for us and to understand the relationship He desires to have with us. Open your eyes to see Him!
