The weeks of the revival meetings have been so amazing. I do soul winning every day, for the passion of souls has greatly increased in the inside of me. All I see now when I ride on the bus with people or meet people on the way the only question that comes to my mind is if they are save? Working in the call center get more interesting as I pray and people get healed instantly and receive the baptism of the Holy Ghost immediately. I prayed for one lady who had had pains on her back since 2009 she got healed instantly and was shouting and praising the lord in her apartment.

I met another lady at the bus stop, prayed with her and she got save, but looking at this lady I could see she was not feeling good so I asked her what the problem was and she told me she had fever so I asked if I could pray for her and she said yes I laid my hands on her and took authority over the fever and she got healed immediately. In fact it is so amazing each time I think of the fact that God is not only giving me the opportunity to reach people but also the fact that through me people are receiving healing breakthrough. Thank for the River for only a place like this can give such opportunity to all irrespective of whom they are.Thank God for the River.  -Valentina A.

I believe that we are in the greatest hour and the greatest time now in the church.  We are so privileged to have access and freedom to worship God and to preach the gospel freely.  We have only a short window now to reap this harvest, it is our responsibility to reach the people for Christ.  We cannot leave the responsibility to just pulpit preachers.  It is called the great commission and not the great suggestion.  Jesus did not give us an option when He said Go and preach the gospel to all men.  He did not ask if we wanted to go out and preach the gospel. 

We cannot think that it is an option, we are responsible and we will be held accountable for our time and talents, and abilities that God has placed in our hands and that He has equipped us with.  We will have to give an account for our words and our actions, so we need to make sure that what we are saying is in love and we are to preach the gospel in love and not condemnation.  I believe that we are the army that God is raising up and all I know is that I don’t want God to have to use another generation to get the job done, I want to be apart of the generation that brings in and reaps this end time harvest of souls and I want my life to count for eternity. -Aja K.

My first Great awakening meeting was an amazing way to start out my New year! 

Pastor Adonica had talked about opening yourself up to God in ways that you haven’t before, and letting the Holy spirit come in and take control. It started me off this year in such a great way to remind myself that its not about me and its not about me being in control, and to  just trust God to touch me like never before and let him in places that I might hold onto so dearly. Because he created us, He knows us better than we know ourselves, so who better to trust than Him to fully let in and consume us and show us the things we need to fix and the things we need to let go. Its so precious to see people and myself included getting touched by the presence of God. You see people getting set free, bondages being broken, letting things go and giving them to God and becoming a totally different person in one night.  Peoples faces will be totally different when they get up off the floor from getting a touch , their whole countenance will have changed, just by letting God into their heart in the deepest parts where He knows to go and bind up what’s been broken and leaving all control into his hands. Its all a mater of just letting go and yielding to God and the Holy spirit move right in. Nothing else in this world can heal someone that quick and reveal to them in truth thing about themselves than the one and only amazing King of Kings! –Priscilla R.

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!

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. 

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.

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

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! 

Matthew 7:7-11 (NKJ)

“Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. “For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened. “Or what man is there among you who, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone? “Or if he asks for a fish, will he give him a serpent? “If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask Him!”

Earthly parents take good care of their children. They give good gifts to their children. Pastor Rodney Howard Browne explains that the law of the land punishes parents who are cruel to their children. If we, as earthly, imperfect parents, would not dream of causing harm and distress to our children, then why do we even imagine that God would want to harm us in any way? We discipline and correct our own children, but we do not injure or kill them. God is so much more perfect than we are – what would He accomplish by hurting us? God chastises and corrects us by His word and His Spirit not by sickness, injury or poverty.

People choose to blame God for misfortune, sickness and disease in their lives because they don’t want to take the responsibility for their own sin. It is a pride thing – they put all the responsibility on God so that they can play the martyr. They would rather bear the “punishment” than repent for their sin and disobedience. Rodney Howard Browne teaches that we need to face up to our own responsibility, humble our hearts and receive God’s forgiveness. The same pride that stops you from repenting will stop you from humbling your heart to receive God’s forgiveness. God wants our obedience not our sacrifice.

Proverbs 21:2-3 (NIV)

All a man’s ways seem right to him, but the LORD weighs the heart. To do what is right and just is more acceptable to the LORD than sacrifice.

You can be stubborn and rebellious and God will leave you to do your own thing until you end up in the pigpen. The moment you come home to Him in repentance, He will forgive you. The fact is that your own children are safe while they remain in your home, but if they venture out to live on the streets and in the alleyways they become a prime target for injury or death. You can only protect them if they stay in your house! If you want to experience life and blessing, you must stay in God’s “house”. Rodney Howard Browne teaches that if you remain in God’s house then the devil has no access to us, but if you wander into the “streets” and the devil’s turf, then you will be a target for the devil.

John 10:10 (NKJ)

“The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.

Jesus is the good shepherd sent to love and save us. The devil is the thief who comes to try to kill us, steal from us and destroy us. As a thief he may try to break into your house with sickness and calamity, but you can remind him that he is there illegally and you can throw him out!

John 14:9-10 (NKJ)

Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you so long, and yet you have not known Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father; so how can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? “Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in Me? The words that I speak to you I do not speak on My own authority; but the Father who dwells in Me does the works.

Jesus spoke and acted according to what He saw and heard from the Father. He was not acting alone. As He went about doing good and destroying the works of the devil, He acted on direct authority given to Him by the Father (Acts 10:38). Sickness and sin are from the devil and God and the devil are not pals! They are not working together to destroy us. The devil is in the destruction business, but God is in the construction business! The Father desires to bless us and He will bless us if we will obey and serve Him.

Psalm 30:4-5 (NIV)

Sing to the LORD, you saints of his; praise his holy name. For his anger lasts only a moment, but his favor lasts a lifetime; weeping may remain for a night, but rejoicing comes in the morning.

Rodney Howard Browne teaches that some people believe that your salvation is completely God’s responsibility and others believe that it comes by your own efforts. However we can see from God’s Word that although He did all the hard work, it is still up to us to allow that work of salvation to take place in our lives. God will do great things in us—with our cooperation.

Rodney Howard Browne shows us from the moment that you accept God’s incredible blessings of grace and mercy that come to us by the sacrifice of His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ and you receive Him as your Lord and Savior, you are born-again! You are saved from hell, eternal damnation, and all of the penalties of sin. Your spirit is made brand-new and you receive eternal life immediately. There will never be any death for your spirit again. Your body will eventually cease to exist in its present form when your spirit leaves your body and your body dies, but your spirit—the real you—will live on in God’s presence. Rodney Howard Browne teaches that your soul (mind, will, intellect and emotions) and your body are not instantly redeemed at the moment you were saved as your spirit was. That is the salvation you have to work out “with fear and trembling.” When you were born-again, it was not the end of your salvation, but the beginning. Fortunately for us, God is working in us to bring about His will and His good pleasure. All we have to do is yield to His working and submit ourselves to His will.

Titus 2:11-14 (NKJ)11 For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men,12 teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly in the present age,13 looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ,14 who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from every lawless deed and purify for Himself His own special people, zealous for good works.

Rodney Howard Browne instructs us that in order to inherit the salvation of our body and soul, we must depart from sin and ungodliness and we must live soberly, righteously and godly, keeping our eyes and hearts open for Jesus’ return and eager to do what is good. Romans 12:1-2 (NKJ)1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service.2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God. If you present your body unto the Lord as a living sacrifice, then you will not be likely to yield it to the lusts of your flesh—which is the root of all your sin problems. Your flesh desires the pleasure of sin, but unfortunately sin has very unpleasurable consequences, both here and in eternity. The only way you can cease conforming to the world and begin to be transformed and recognize God’s will for you is to renew your mind to the Word of God.You did not earn the salvation of your spirit—it was a free gift purchased in the blood of Jesus that you received. God’s grace and mercy is still working in your life for the salvation of your soul and body. It is your responsibility to work out this salvation, by continuing to allow God to do the work in you that He desires to do—until you see Him face-to-face!
