Words can not begin to describe the things that have been happening lately.  While there have been attacks in the flesh that have been fought off this week there were also some pretty awesome things that I have seen God do as well.  One of the most amazing things was my last soul winning time on the street.  I was part of a team that was sent out to scout new areas.  We had completed the scouting portion of the assignment and had time left to start knocking on doors and soul winning. 

The trailer park area that we went into we were approached by the head of the home owners association.  He asked what we were doing and when we told him he said that we had to have prior written permission  and told us that we had to leave.  As we were leaving I reminded God that He said in His Word that what the devil intended for our harm He would turn to our good. 

I asked Him to show us what to do next.  As we pulled out of the trailer park we looked down the road and saw a couple of small groups of school children coming down the sidewalk.  So we pulled over, jumped out and began witnessing leading them all to the Lord.  Before we could move we looked up and school kids starting coming from every direction and we started witnessing to them by the groups.  Over the course of about 40 minutes time we went from 17 decisions to 90 decisions and led 14 people to the baptism of the Holy Ghost with the evidence of speaking in tongues.  What an awesome thing that God did! -Darrell G

Debbie from New Port Ritchie Florida came to soul win her first time, and the team leader paired Debbie and I together.  She over came her fears of being totally out of her comfit zone and God used her to lead 4 too the Lord.  She also prayed for a lady with an ear infection the pain instantly left her ear!  Amen!  And she also testified about it live on TV across America Wednesday evening!  Great job Debbie!    

Both in the phone call center and on the streets of Tampa I’m preaching the Gospel with a passion and God’s Fire.

On the phones Tuesday several that I prayed with gave their hearts to the Lord one woman was so excited she couldn’t stop saying Halleluiah God set her free, another man started to weep as I was ministering prayers, another man 22 years old rededicated his life to the Lord and wants to be emailed with everything that’s happening he has musical gifts and was excited when I mentioned our School of Worship, wow it would be tremendously awesome to see him as a student! God is awesome there is so much that is happening. Glory to God!

On the streets yesterday a lady approached me curious what I was doing I lead her to the Lord also in the Baptism she spoke in tongues and instantly got deliver from anger she was carrying in her heart against someone it was awesome God flooded her with so much of His peace and you could see it. 

Also on the streets 2 groups of young women prayed to receive the Baptism in the Holy Ghost and I felt such a presence upon me along with a greater authority. And as I was preaching to the second group they had actually come to us to hear what we had to say after they had initially walked away 1 or 2 minutes earlier it’s like they where arrested by God and they had to surrender give it up and come back.  Glory to God!

Tuesday evening when I logged off the phones on the second floor everyone was gone so I thought the building was empty and when I got off the elevator there where people stuck to the floor all over the place even in the church foyer for sure I thought Pastor Rodney had gone home but no he was still in the pulpit.  So I took a back seat in the church sanctuary well the presence of God was so strong that I became inebriated intoxicated plan old drunk in the Holy Ghost.  You know it had to be past midnight hour it seemed like everyone was just the same drunk and intoxicated on the New Wine of Heaven.  Thank goodness I didn’t have far to drive.  Amen! Well these meetings across the air waves on TV are really creating a shaking all over and everywhere and I get to be right here in the middle of it. -Margarita J

Coming in to the great awakening I had an excitement, but nothing like I have now. It’s amazing to be right in the middle of history being written. In the past I had read books about what had happened here in America. However I’m so blessed to be apart of what God is now doing in our nation. My heart is being changed, and my mind is being renewed with the revelation of the seriousness for the time in which we are living in. 

These meetings have ignited a new passion to do what the bible says “Go ye therefore…” I’m so thankful for Pastor Rodney relentless pursuit to have people ablaze and mobilized to reach the harvest for Christ.  This year my goal is to take all that is being poured out through the great awakening to a lost and dying world.   -Darrain M.

The second week of the Great Awakening services is continuing to see the harvest come in. Souls are still being won on the streets.  Different states are starting to get on board to win souls. The numbers are down a little in attendance in the services, maybe because of the cold weather,  but there seems to be more hunger in the ones that come. People are still answering the altar call for more fire. The phone calls coming into the phone center are nonstop. As soon as I hung up, I had another call. People on the phones are calling to be saved, baptized in the Holy Spirit and for the fire. I had another caller from a certain denomination that wanted everything. She said their church doesn’t believe in the baptism of the Holy Spirit or the fire and she wanted everything, and received it!  

A few people called in for healing, but most of the calls were for salvation of their loved ones. The people in the phone center are excited to be there. They want to be there! I heard many testimonies of healings and creative miracles. I praise God Pastors Rodney and Adonica continue to listen to the Holy Spirit. They don’t look at circumstances or listen to the naysayers. They know what God has called them to do and are moving in obedience. I am thankful God is raising up a mighty army to get behind their vision and we will see America shaken because Jesus is the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords. He is God almighty and there is none like him! The gates of hell shall not prevail against The Church. I hear the marching of the Saints as the churches unite to win the lost! It is awesome!- Sharon F.

First off let me start with God is good.  It is an honor to serve our Lord.  The Great Awakening is amazing.  I was blessed to be able to work the phones on Wednesday night and many people were healed.  There were baptisms’ in the Holy Ghost with people shaking under the power of God.  It is awesome to see what God is doing.  People were calling and thanking us for being on the air.  I had people crying in the presence of God because it had been a long time since they had felt the presence of God.   People are so hungry for God.  I think it is great that we are being broadcast all over the world.  People need to know this is available to everyone.  It is not right to keep this to ourselves.  The church needs to be encouraged to tell others and fulfill The Great Commission. 

I am excited to see what all is going to come out of this.  I can totally see America shaken and on fire for God.  It has personally been a blessing for me.  It is awesome to see people’s lives changed by the power and presence of God.  My family has been touched and set on fire too.  My 13 and 4 year old can’t wait to come in the evenings.  They are excited to be a part of this.  May God bless all the pastors and staff at the River for all their hard work and all that they do to make this possible.  Thank you to all the Unite volunteers for their hard work.  Thank you to Bob De Andrea’ for putting us on the air.  All Glory to God!!! –Jessica D.

Humble yourselves [feeling very insignificant] in the presence of the Lord, and He will exalt you [He will lift you up and make your lives significant].  James 4:10 AMP
 
If you want the Lord to be able to use you, then you will need to make yourself available to Him. You will need to be willing to humble yourself so God can use you. If you will humble yourself—lower yourself in your own estimation before the Lord—He will make your life significant—He will make your life count for eternity. Micah 6:8 AMP says, “He has showed you, O man, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you but to do justly, and to love kindness and mercy, and to humble yourself and walk humbly with your God?”  What God requires of us, above all, is justice, mercy and humility. If you want to lead a significant life, you will have to humble yourself to love and serve others.
 
1 Corinthians 13:5 AMP says that love, “is not conceited (arrogant and inflated with pride); it is not rude (unmannerly) and does not act unbecomingly. Love (God’s love in us) does not insist on its own rights or its own way, for it is not self-seeking; it is not touchy or fretful or resentful; it takes no account of the evil done to it [it pays no attention to a suffered wrong].”  There can be no love without humility and no humility without love. Because of the attributes of love, only the humble are capable of walking in love. The proud and arrogant cannot and do not love others, because they are selfish—they are number one in their own heart and life. Pride, conceit and arrogance are empty and vain. Pride puts its own needs first, but love puts others before itself and the needs of others before its needs. You could say that pride is rude and unmannerly, acts unbecomingly, insisting on its own rights and its own way, is self-seeking, is touchy, fretful and resentful, and it takes everything personally. Love, however, humbles itself to serve and put others first; love humbles itself to not take things personally; love humbles itself to keep being kind to people who are being mean.
 
Finally, all [of you] should be of one and the same mind (united in spirit), sympathizing [with one another], loving [each other] as brethren [of one household], compassionate and courteous (tenderhearted and humble).  1 Peter 3:8 AMP
 
Do nothing from factional motives [through contentiousness, strife, selfishness, or for unworthy ends] or prompted by conceit and empty arrogance. Instead, in the true spirit of humility (lowliness of mind) let each regard the others as better than and superior to himself [thinking more highly of one another than you do of yourselves]. 4 Let each of you esteem and look upon and be concerned for not [merely] his own interests, but also each for the interests of others.  
Philippians 2:3-4 AMP
 
Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty (snobbish, high-minded, exclusive), but readily adjust yourself to [people, things] and give yourselves to humble tasks. Never overestimate yourself or be wise in your own conceits.  Romans 12:16 AMP
 
We are commanded by the Lord to be compassionate, courteous, sympathetic and understanding—not haughty —to live in harmony with one another and to be readily and easily adjustable. Remember—we are servants of the King —He commands us not to overestimate ourselves or to be so important in our own eyes that we can’t give ourselves to doing humble tasks for ourselves and others. James 3:13-18 says that if you are wise and intelligent, then you—by your noble living—should show forth your good works with the humility which is the proper attribute of true wisdom. He warns us that unchecked pride stirs envy, jealousy and strife and that this prideful behavior is carnal and even demonic in origin and outworking. God’s wisdom, on the other hand, is humble and peace-loving, pure and courteous; it is willing to listen and yield to reason; it is whole-hearted and straightforward; it is impartial and genuine; full of compassion and good fruits and produces, and leads to, peace.
 
I therefore, the prisoner for the Lord, appeal to and beg you to walk (lead a life) worthy of the [divine] calling to which you have been called [with behavior that is a credit to the summons to God’s service, 2 Living as becomes you] with complete lowliness of mind (humility) and meekness (unselfishness, gentleness, mildness), with patience, bearing with one another and making allowances because you love one another. 3 Be eager and strive earnestly to guard and keep the harmony and oneness of [and produced by] the Spirit in the binding power of peace.  Ephesians 4:1-3 AMP
 
Paul begs us to lead a life worthy of the Lord’s divine calling on our lives. No matter what anyone else does, you have to choose to walk in love and peace. Romans 12:18 AMP says, “If possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone.” You have to be willing to put an effort into guarding and keeping harmony, unity and peace alive. It takes lots of patience to live in harmony and unity with others and it is love and humility that make patience possible.
 
Finally, all [of you] should be of one and the same mind (united in spirit), sympathizing [with one another], loving [each other] as brethren [of one household], compassionate and courteous (tenderhearted and humble). 9 Never return evil for evil or insult for insult (scolding, tongue-lashing, berating), but on the contrary blessing [praying for their welfare, happiness, and protection, and truly pitying and loving them]. For know that to this you have been called, that you may yourselves inherit a blessing [from God—that you may obtain a blessing as heirs, bringing welfare and happiness and protection].  
1 Peter 3:8-9 AMP
 
The humble person is one who can continue to love someone who is cruel and mean, and still pray for their welfare, happiness, and protection, returning blessing for evil, rather than fighting back. When we submit to the Lord to obey Him, rather than following man’s wisdom or allowing our flesh to rule us, we will come out on top in the end. There is a reward for those who walk in love, humility and unity toward each other. They are the ones who inherit His blessings. The Lord has promised to bless those who walk in love with His welfare, happiness and protection.

MC 2010, it was great time of seeing faces not seen in a long time, powerful stories of missions, opened eyes of  what it takes to pull off successful event and serving in helps at a higher level. I’m sure there is much more to learn.

I’m grateful to all my teachers who through the lessons that that they teach is help prepare me for this event. Especially ministry of helps and submission and authority. There were a couple of situations in helps, that came up during the event, that I was able to apply what was taught in those studies, to those situations. I was assured that all the subjects are being taught in order for a reason.

As a kingdom business man, it was defined more clearly the importance to seek godly wisdom, understanding, and direction.

I left the week of meetings with more faith, and that there are no limits or boundaries to what God can do through me, and the church that I serve.

This year’s Minister’s Conference totally impacted my life in such a way that quite frankly, I am not sure if there are enough words to describe what took place. This year’s theme: “No Limits, No Boundaries”, far exceeded my expectation!

In preparation for the conference, my husband and I got together and we said that we wanted God to do great things in our life and that whatever He had for us; we were open and willing to receive. The theme for this year was applicable to every aspect of our lives. From our finances, to making our vision clearer for our family and the dreams that God has given us, we have taken the limits off! I believe for a brief period of time, I almost forgot the things that God had promised us as a couple. But during that week, I know that the Holy Spirit brought those things back to life and my faith was totally reignited!

Minister’s Conference 2010, helped me realize that the dreams, and visions that God has given me are alive, they are not dead and I need not put my God in a box. I believe I was guilty of that. Further, I would find myself trying to figure things out on my own, or how they should go; this conference allowed me to let go and allow God to complete those things that He already started in our lives!

At times I can get so discouraged, and my emotions try to get the best of me. But this Minister’s Conference caused me to place things back into perspective. My total reliance is on Jesus and He is going to fulfill every promise He has spoken over my family…with No Limits or Boundaries!

I wish I could list all of the ways that this camp meeting has challenged me. Every night it was something different. The first way was just going using what He’s already given me for the gospel. The next area was in changing my way of thinking about generations. The most important way, for me personally, that I was affected was in holiness.

Being around men and women of God who are breaking down barriers everyday stretches me to give my all for God. However, sometimes looking at everything that those who have gone before have done could be overwhelming. I would think to myself, “God what do I even have that you would want or that you could use?” James Levesque knocked that out of the water with his testimony. There are so many ways that God has gifted me and many times just because of not thinking like God thinks I haven’t used those gifts for the kingdom. Now I have no excuse not to use what’s in my hand.

Next is the generation gap which really isn’t a gap at all. Being a youth leader has recently made me feel really old. I look at some of the students that I get to spend time with and pour into and think, “Why wasn’t I doing the things that they are at that age?” Of course I didn’t know about soul winning and my church didn’t really do outreaches, but the thoughts came. Then Pastor Rodney said, “If the Lord didn’t think you had what it took to live in this time, you would have been born in another time!” God can use me right where I am.

Finally, I must come to an area of holiness. It’s not that I was out sinning or living worldly, but it’s time to go to the next level. The Holy Spirit has been speaking to me about holiness for a while and it came out so much in all of the messages. If the pure in heart are the ones that are going to see God then I want to be pure in heart. I must.
