I am seeing many great things happening during this Great Awakening event at the River Church. God is moving mightily among many people. I am being touched and renewed by this conference. This week my testimony was great in many ways. I have been seeing people in our church volunteering and helping in many different areas. For example, I went to the call center and it was exploding with phone calls. The phone was ringing off the hook. Our member were praying for people and people were getting healed, saved, set free and developing spiritually. Many people were asking for prayer for the fire of God in their life.
Pastor Rodney’s message and teachings were extremely well delivered and received. Pastor Rodney was talking about the history of Pentecost, and the cost associated for acquiring the anointing. The meetings are pivotal for the body of Christ in America, in order to advance and take ground for Jesus. We have to count the cost for eternity is at stake, because souls need to be saved. His power is his love for people; the cross is where we first come to Jesus. We need the Holy Spirit to go to the next level so we can receive power to be a witness for Jesus Christ! It’s amazing to see hundreds of churches coming on board with the Great Awakening and becoming Soul Savings Stations. We need to preach the message raw as possible to save people from a devil’s hell. -Daniel W
This week has been phenomenal as far as what is happening. People on the phones are getting saved, set free and healed when they call in to the broadcast. I was on the phones Tuesday when a woman called in and wanted her heavenly language. She had been baptized in the Holy Ghost for a month and wanted to speak in tongues since she did not have that yet. So I prayed with her and she received the baptism in the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues. She said she was hot and sweat was trickling down her back also her breathing was great.
She had said her breathing was labored when she called so when the Holy Spirit filled her she could breathe just fine. I then asked her what else could she do now that she could not do before? She had not mentioned if she needed healing for anything other then her breathing. She said I don’t know let me check and all of a sudden she began yelling my arm it is moving and I said awesome Jesus healed you. You don’t understand I was in a severe car accident in which my left side was paralyzed due to brain injury. My arm has been clamped to my side for years.
I am moving papers back and forth on the table and lifting envelopes. I had her tell what was happening to our call center supervisor who said it was awesome she was getting touched. When I took the phone back, I again asked her what else can you do that you could not do before? Again she answered, I don’t know let me see as I heard noise in the background and her yelling, “my leg! I am moving my leg.” It was a bit slow at first but it is moving. Then she yelled, “I am standing with no assistance!” Praise the Lord Jesus who heals even before it is asked for! She was crying and laughing explaining that she had to relearn so much after the accident and she got her arm and leg healed all when she called for her heavenly prayer language! -Shaunalee F.
The winter Camp meeting went really fast and was such a blessing mostly I would be out at work in the evening or when I came in I had to leave at 12pm, but catching up with the what was going on I sensed that the spirit of boldness was rekindled in me after seeing the 92 year old lady testifying seeing the strength in her surely God is no respecter of persons, the thing that really hit me most is how she put it that we need to reach out to people daily.
This week I was going to Wal-Mart during my lunch hour break, in a rush saw a woman cleaning the window as I was approaching the entrance my flesh was fighting against my spirit, but I overcame my fears shared with her that God loves her, she looked at me then she opened up as I asked if I would pray with her she was very pleased then she started weeping. As I was trying to inquire what was taking place, I found out that I was a confirmation that God loves her. I saw the Holy Spirit touch her there and then at the entrance. That gave me boldness to share with 2 others inside Wal-Mart and they gave their lives to Jesus. That made my day. –Geoffrey M.
This is a historic event that is happening at that The River of Tampa Bay Church. Lives are being touched and changed by the power of God. Churches across America are hitting the streets with the Gospel soul winning script. And are registering their totals on Revival.com and all across America thousands of people are being saved, healed, and set free. Every night hundreds of thousands are tuning in to watch the broadcast, and the Awakening is just beginning to pick up steam.
The prayer lines are ringing off the hook with testimonies of the power of God touching them in their homes. Also people are calling to receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit and fire. I am so amazed at what God is doing. Seeing God shake America with the fire of God. My life is forever changed God have put such a hunger on the inside see souls saved, In or schools, businesses, malls, governments. And other countries are starting to get involved and hitting their towns and cities leading people to Jesus. I have been in the meetings the past week on the phones taking calls and sitting in the services.
People don’t realize what is taking place. What God is doing is so much bigger than the River Church. It’s about the whole body of Christ coming together and turning the world upside down for Jesus and hitting every part of society. And the church getting our eyes off of ourselves and putting them on Jesus and what he wants us to do. And the power of God in the streets. And a lost and dying world coming to Jesus.-Steven H.
This has been a great week so far and I believe the Lord is going to do some awesome things here in just the next couple of days. Pastor Rodney has been preaching on the baptism of the Holy Ghost the last two services and they have been incredible. When you have the fire of the Holy Ghost living on the inside of you, you can’t help but tell people about Him everywhere you go. People will get saved, healed, and delivered when you’ve got the Deliverer burning I’m your heart.
Everywhere you go, people are either going to get sad, mad, or glad because of the conviction of the Holy Ghost that comes from preaching the good news of the gospel. Yesterday I went on the streets with a lady who came to the River Church to learn how to win souls more effectively. Well after only about an hour and a half, she led four people to the Lord which is more than some people do in a lifetime! She then came to church last night and gave her testimony to thousands of people watching on television. God is truly doing some amazing things through the Great Awakening and I am so appreciative to to be a part of it.-Kenneth C.
In the Last couple of days of the Great Awakening meetings, the Lord has been touching me, he has been striping things off of me. He has given me a revelation of his love for me. Years ago, I wanted to end my life but by his grace I’m still alive today. I’m so thankful that the Lord saved me for just a time as this. I know the Lord has so much more give. I’ve been praying for several things, and it has come to passed. I’ve seen people from other churches coming to the meetings and getting touch with the Fire of God. Their were people coming from far areas to get train up for soul winning and going back to reach the people in their areas. Many people call in around the world wanted the Fire of God and getting saved. It has been a blessing to be part of what God is doing around the world. –Nancy S.
I am so excited to be a part of the Great Awakening Tour that is happening at The River Tampa Bay Church! I have been able to be in the call center answering phones and taking prayer requests. It is amazing to see and be able to share in what is happening over the phone lines every night! We are seeing people come to salvation, become baptized in the Holy Ghost, and be healed right over the phone!! It is truly a blessing to be able to minister the fire of God to people and experience God’s children being touched and hear the change and hear the positive things that come out of the caller’s mouths after we pray. It’s seeing and hearing the hope be restored in their lives and them coming to the realization that God loves them and there is someone out there who will talk and pray with them and show them that they care. In a world that is lost and dying and crying out for something more, we are making a difference because we are standing behind the vision of Pastors Rodney and Adonica. I am blessed to be able to serve underneath a ministry such as theirs and it is truly humbling to be the vessel that God is using to reach His children. I am so glad that I am able to pray and agree with each person that calls and I encourage everyone to either attend the services at The River or to watch us Live on CTN at 7:30 pm EST. –Nicole M.
As a student of my second year of RBI it’s a real privilege and an honor not only to attend, but also to be a part of the Great Awakening leaded by pastor Rodney Howard-Browne every single evening at Tampa. The Great Awakening is here !!! America is being shaken by the fire of God through people who are really filled with the Holy Ghost. The power of God works in so many amazing ways that words are not enough to express how each of us feels with the events occurring in front of our eyes. I have been really impacted by looking all the group of people working so hard with such enthusiasm for the* Call Center at the River *. The Call Center is fully equipped with prayer warriors praying and interceding firmly with the Holy Word of God and healings, miracles, signs and wonders are taking place in many cities around the world. Some of the places are Georgia, Missouri, Texas, New York, California, Oregon and Florida.
In less than two days they have received approximately 450 calls from all over U.S.A.
The awesome situations include people who have receive * Salvation * they never knew about the Lord, but now they know the truth about the only one Jesus !!!
Others have been blessed regarding healing. One of the cases that touched me is about a guy from Georgia who called the prayer line for the return of something stolen from him, but received his eye restored after many years. Another case a lady from Missouri who had a pain in her back for five years then after praying with a student she got healed. The Lord is doing magnificent things such as delivering people from suicide and depression. Setting them FREE !!! Others speaking in tongues and laughing under the Holy Spirit for the first time. The river of joy has overflow from the people/students from the Call Center toward the persons on the other side of the phones. The Lord is not only the Healer, Provider, Counselor and Protector. He is the source of all and for all…….
The Miracles have instant results no matter the place. Amen !
Lets give the Lord all the glory and the praise……………..
The prayer warriors are waiting for you. The Great Awakening is here !!!!! –Maria H.
The Lord is doing awesome things at Revival Ministries in Tampa Bay! Since the Great Awakening has launched across the airwaves only a few days ago, the Holy Spirit has already done such great things in me and the lives around me.
The fire in my heart is burning stronger than ever before. I have become so hungry to see people touched, changed, set free and delivered. The word of God is true, when we draw near to Him, He draws near to us. When we hunger and thirst after righteousness we shall be filled. And I’m getting more and hungrier for more of Him. When we pour out of what we have received, the Lord can use us in ways greater than we could ever imagine.
I have been answering prayer calls the last few nights and the amount of calls we get every night just blows me away. People are looking for God to touch them, to heal their bodies, save their loved ones etc. The need is great but we have the answer! Every time we pray for somebody the presence of God is so strong! People are getting saved and baptized in the Holy Spirit while we are praying for them on the phone. Sick bodies are getting healed, and people are catching the fire of revival. It’s just amazing everything God is doing, Jesus is still alive today and He is using people just like you and me to show the world how much He loves them. –Ben K.
It’s not that I did not know or credit Jesus with salvation, but I have a greater understanding of the power backing His precious Name…when using the Gospel Soul Winning Script and other tools, I see so clearly that Jesus is always glorified, Jesus is always drawing people unto himself, Jesus is always healing in His Name…it is NEVER our magnetic personalities, NEVER our persuasive salesmanship, it is NEVER anything more nor anything less than the PRECIOUS NAME OF JESUS…JESUS is more real to me since the broadcasts have begun just like the day He came and found me…oh, how can I ever thank him enough…His great love and compassion compels me to go and preach the GOSPEL OF CHRIST for it IS THE POWER OF GOD UNTO SALVATION…

“I write to you, little children, Because your sins are forgiven you for His name’s sake. I write to you, fathers, Because you have known Him who is from the beginning. I write to you, young men, Because you have overcome the wicked one.I write to you, little children, Because you have known the Father. I have written to you, fathers, Because you have known Him who is from the beginning. I have written to you, young men, Because you are strong, and the word of God abides in you, And you have overcome the wicked one.” 1 John 2:12-14 NKJV
“For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world – our faith.” 1 John 5:4 NKJV
“We know that whoever is born of God does not sin; but he who has been born of God keeps himself, and the wicked one does not touch him.” 1 John 5:18 NKJV
Because we know the Father; because we are born of God; because His word abides in us; because our faith is in Him; because we keep ourselves and choose to not sin – therefore we have overcome the wicked one and he cannot touch us.
7. We hate the world and the things of the world
“Do not love or cherish the world or the things that are in the world. If anyone loves the world, love for the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world — the lust of the flesh [craving for sensual gratification] and the lust of the eyes [greedy longings of the mind] and the pride of life [assurance in one’s own resources or in the stability of earthly things] — these do not come from the Father but are from the world [itself]. And the world passes away and disappears, and with it the forbidden cravings (the passionate desires, the lust) of it; but he who does the will of God and carries out His purposes in his life abides (remains) forever.” 1 John 2:15-17 AMP
The child of God, who knows God, does not love the world or things of the world. The more we come to know the Father; the more time we spend with Him; the less we desire worldly carnal things.
8. We are one with the Body of Christ
“They went out from our number, but they did not [really] belong to us; for if they had been of us, they would have remained with us. But [they withdrew] that it might be plain that they all are not of us.” 1 John 2:19 AMP
Those who know the Father have fellowship with Him and with each other. They are not exclusive, neither do they separate themselves. They do not fight against each other, but they do everything to walk in peace with each other.
9. We are anointed by the Spirit
“But you have an anointing from the Holy One, and you know all things. I have not written to you because you do not know the truth, but because you know it, and that no lie is of the truth. Who is a liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist who denies the Father and the Son. Whoever denies the Son does not have the Father either; he who acknowledges the Son has the Father also. Therefore let that abide in you which you heard from the beginning. If what you heard from the beginning abides in you, you also will abide in the Son and in the Father. And this is the promise that He has promised us — eternal life. These things I have written to you concerning those who try to deceive you. But the anointing which you have received from Him abides in you, and you do not need that anyone teach you; but as the same anointing teaches you concerning all things, and is true, and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, you will abide in Him.” 1 John 2:20-27 NKJV
You cannot fake the anointing – you are either anointed or you are not. Those who know the Father also know and recognize the anointing of the Holy Spirit.
10. We know the truth that sets us free
“I have not written to you because you do not know the truth, but because you know it, and that no lie is of the truth.” 1 John 2:21 NKJV
“And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” They answered Him, ‘We are Abraham’s descendants, and have never been in bondage to anyone. How can You say, ‘You will be made free’?’ Jesus answered them, ‘Most assuredly, I say to you, whoever commits sin is a slave of sin. And a slave does not abide in the house forever, but a son abides forever. Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed.’ ” John 8:32-36 NKJV
We know the Truth because we know the Father. The Truth sets us free from sin and from the bondage of sin. We are free indeed.
11. Because we acknowledge God and His Son Jesus Christ
“Who is a liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist who denies the Father and the Son. Whoever denies the Son does not have the Father either; he who acknowledges the Son has the Father also. Therefore let that abide in you which you heard from the beginning. If what you heard from the
beginning abides in you, you also will abide in the Son and in the Father. And this is the promise that He has promised us —
eternal life.” 1 John 2:22-25 NKJV
We know the Father, and we know Jesus, because we acknowledge that He is Lord, God and Savior. Because we believe, we have eternal life now.
