The power of the gospel is real and evedent. One couple said that they are going to start witnessing now to people themselves. 11 got saved, 38 in this week. To see the hunger for someone to tell them about Christ and to know that he loves them it was great. It was my first time ever witnessing to people. It really broke my fear, by stepping out. I’m now ready to witness to anyone that doesn’t knew Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior On saturday with the team I led three people to the Lord and prayed for two others. Later in the day I led sixteen to the Lord at a funeral. Sunday I led three to the Lord at church.
At the nursing home, a man hit by a truck (was on the news) received Jesus. I prayed for his healing and he began to weep. A guy was in a coma, very young. As I prayed prayer over him, his eyes began to flutter. Today we went on the streets to homeless shelter and started witnessing to the homeless. One lady said she needed a ride to go somewhere, and so we took her and asked her where all the homeless hang out. We ended up at this library and there was homeless people everywhere. There was one group I saw and started witnessing to them. All of them had been on the streets for years and one girl that was 18 had been on the streets since she was 14. She accepted Jesus into her heart and they all said thank you so much and couldn’t believe that we would even talk to them. They said nobody ever does that. A Christian lady said she prayed to God to send someone to her because she had doubt in her heart. She rededicated her life, then later she followed me down the hall and asked me to lay hands on her. We came to a NH but it turns out to be the wrong one so we couldn’t get in. But there was a lady who sat outside. I walked up to her and she prayed to God to help her because she just got a call.
This week has been incredible. There could not have been a better time to hear the Word of God regarding the human heart and the importance of its alignment with the Word of God. As a person in the medical field, studying the heart as an organ has always fascinated me. This week, learning about God’s purposes and plans with the human heart and how we can develop a heart after God has truly exceeded anything I have learned in the past about the human heart. It’s interesting how the heart, in my opinion, is the most important organ in the human body, with out it working properly all other organs don’t receive the proper amounts of oxygen, which in turn brings death to each one of them. The same applies in the spiritual condition of the heart. It’s so important that the Bible tells us that we should guard it with all diligence, because out of the heart flow “the issues of life” (Proverbs 4:23, KJV). The main thing I have learned is that no matter what the circumstances in our lives, the condition of our hearts will determine the outcome. If its condition is not in alignment with the Word of God, death can flow out of it as well. It’s about making a choice, a choice to make God ruler of our hearts or let the human heart and its condition rule over our lives. From the beginning of time, God wanted to His creation to love Him and serve Him and Him alone, but He always gave a choice, the free will. After the fall of man, He made a way for us to get back to His heart, through Jesus Christ. God wants to make His throne in each and every one of our hearts. We must allow Him to reign in our hearts if we want to have the abundant life that He offers. It all comes down to a choice made in your heart. Thanks to Rodney Howard Browne.
There was a man in the food4less parking lot. I started the script and he started to cry. When we finish the sinner’s prayer, he asked me to pray for his family and for his job to pick up. After the prayer, he started glowing. We went to a park after we were kicked out of target and we were getting ready to leave to go home and I saw a trash man who gets the trash cans and I told Nonie to come with me because I really want to pray for that guy. Well I said to him can I ask you a question and he said sure. So I went on and he said you know what I’m a Mormon, so no thanks. So I said, well can I still read this prayer to you and he said yes I would really like that. So I did and also got a picture of it and he said he felt so much better. I felt so great that I did that. I prayed for a man at a nursing home. He couldn’t speak but I noticed he moved his eyes whenever I spoke. I asked if I could read salvation prayer and he moved his eyes and brow. I asked if it meant yes, same movement. I prayed the salvation prayer over him. When I was through, he moved his eyes and brow. Praise God, he was saved!
I was really touched and rededicated my life more deeply to God’s call on my life.I went soul-winning all week with you all and it was the MOST FUN I’ve had in my life!!! And I’m keeping the fire! After the crusade, I led a young man to the Lord who had been on his way to jump off a bridge. Also, two ladies got saved, and after I asked if they had prayed that before, they said, “No. We’re Mormon.” And there have been many more salvations since you left. I was witnessing to a 13-year-old, I told him God loves him. When I asked if he was going to heaven, he said he was, because he had gotten born-again before. I read the script and told him God was giving him the opportunity to rededicate his life to Jesus. When he prayed with me, he was reeling backward, so I said “I saw that God touched you as we prayed, what’s going on?” He said, “I feel like I’ve been… transformed!” God is awesome!!
For 8 years I tried to get one soul saved but nothing happened until yesterday, I watched your revival on God TV last week -2 days ago learned your script and did on line training on your site and yesterday followed it and a soul got saved, praise God! -Im on fire now sharing the Gospel is so easy. Thank you.I have been emailing prayer requests over the previous 2 weeks and GOD BROUGHT ME MY DREAM JOB. I couldn’t have gotten this job on my own……this was truly the FAVOR of GOD. I had a bankruptcy and a speeding ticket among other things that shouldn’t have qualified me for the job. I’ve been praying, your ministry has been praying and today they emailed me that I am officially hired for the job. Thank you for your prayers. I know because of the anoiting on Pastor Rodney and the ministry that GOD answered my prayers…..I’m HIGH ON THE LORD JESUS CHRIST!!!!! What a mighty, awesome GOD! This is a dream job. Full benefits, and so much more, company vehicle, all the equipment for the job…..and travel as well.

I’m telling everyone that has an ear to hear that GOD brought me this job. Praise GOD!
PLEASE PASS THIS ON DIRECTLY TO PASTOR RODNEY: Dear Rodney and Adonica, This is the most amazing testimony!! We attended the Winter Camp meeting and were received into RMIMA on Thursday night during the camp meeting. Before that, Ted Shuttles worth gave a message for the offering that night on sowing into the Great Awakening Tour and how the Lord sent him to give this message at the meetings. At the end, he said there was someone who could give 100,000 dollars. Then he mentioned how he was to give 10,000 dollars and his friend from Finland was also giving the same amount. Then he mentioned that there were many others who could give 1,000 dollars and that for many it was a sacrificial gift that would open a window to a million dollar flow. He stated that those who gave 10,000 would open a window to a billion dollar flow. We stepped out of our seat and gave a sacrificial offering from our church Passion and Fire Worship Center for 1,000 dollars, because we believe in the Great Awakening Tour and the ministry that God has given to both Rodney and Adonica. We sowed in faith for our own ministry to be provided for as well as giving to the Great Awakening Tour. Through a series of many events in the last week, a gentleman in our congregation had a settlement from his father’s estate which was in unclaimed funds in West VA, mailed to him in the amount of 7.5 million dollars. This man’s testimony alone could fill several pages. The long and short of it is that he has been invited to appear on the Oprah Winfrey show in late April, and several other talk shows and ministry programs. He came to our offices today after only being a member of our church for about 6-7 months and told us how his life has been radically changed by the ministry of the Holy Spirit since he came to Passion and Fire. Then he told us, “I want to give one million dollars to Passion and Fire Worship Center out of my settlement.” He told us that his life has been radically changed by the Holy Spirit by coming to our church and he had to give back, not just the tithe but the offering on top totaling the one million dollars to our church. This is a direct fulfillment to the word that Ted Shuttles worth gave during the Winter Camp meeting that those who gave 1,000 dollars would see the Lord open a window to millions. Yesterday morning, I was calling forth one million dollars and Thursday afternoon, earlier today at about 5pm, in walks this gentleman and tells us that he is giving the church one million dollars!!! Needless to say we are blown away!! We listened several times to your series, “All These Blessings” which you gave us at the camp meeting and now we see and have experienced for ourselves God’s abundant blessings. We should have the check in hand within the next week. And that is not all!! We believe that the Lord is telling us to sow 100,000 thousand dollars to RMI for the Great Awakening tour!!! We don’t know if the $100,000 dollar gift came forth at the camp meeting, but even if it did, we are to be one of those givers when we get this money. We have submitted a proposed budget to our board, but believe that we will be sowing this gift to RMI within the next week. We know this million has come because of the Lord prompting our response during Ted’s Shuttle worth’s message to give 1,000 dollars and now the Lord has brought in our harvest!!!!! Praise the Lord…Hallelujah,…a thousand praises to our God!! WE are sowing to revival and we are obligating the anointing here in Cincinnati, OH!! We love you both and are so happy to be part of this great move!! God bless you both! We are with you! For the Harvest, David and Donna K, Sr. Pastors Passion and Fire Worship Center West Chester, OH (Cincinnati) And in Your Down line more ways than One!!!
Since being connected to the River, I have raised up a small(but growing) church and followed your example and seen the same manifestations in our church as happen at the River. For example, a youth group from Assemblies of God heard that God’s presence was at our church so 20 teens came to our door step on a Sunday night. The power of God fell and several manifestations of the spirit occurred quickly. Their keyboard player got slain in the spirit and when she arose, she was laughing her head off for just short of 2 hours. I later learned that she had been suffering from severe depression up until then, and was a quiet and self-conscious person. My wife gave a word to their pastor’s son that he was mixed up into witchcraft…..and he asked her: “How did you know?” Another young man was there who did not know why he was there but ended up receiving Christ and falling under the power. Another young adult had brought his sister and did not intend to stay. He had many piercings and tattoos. It was so amazing because no one even touched him or laid hands and he fell backwards suddenly and then got up laughing and then crying and then laughing and crying back and forth…..he said to me: “I don’t know what is happening to me!” All of this I attribute to the anointing I have learned at the River. I could go on and on with the amazing miracles and testimonies….but I believe that the biggest compliment I can pay to Dr. Howard-Brown, even more than being at every service, is to actually be out there doing what I have learned at the River. We are out here doing it, and seeing the same miracles ourselves now. That is the highest compliment I can pay you….is to learn it and do it ourselves in the area God has placed us. Thank you for not compromising your focus being completely on the Holy Spirit. You keep the main thing the main thing, and are not diverted. Stay the course and greater rewards are on the way. Thank you for allowing me to visit the River monthly to continue to get my batteries re-charged. Thanks for the Mathew videos. That actor is a traveling speaker, by the way. He goes to a lot of small churches. I would love to see you invite him here to speak, and then get him smashed in the Holy Ghost. It would be an easy thing to arrange, you know. Blessings!! Dan G
There are so many powerful ways the Lord has touched my life through Pastor Rodney’ ministry, but let me share this with those who may be new to the move of God and the fire of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit’s power is real and it has a lasting effect! It’s now March of 2007 and back in late 1993, not sure of the exact date, I first came to some meetings of Brother Rodney in St. Louis. I had never heard of the church he was ministering at. I had never heard of him or seen the power of God in such a way, and had only been saved and filled with the Spirit less than a year. But in that first meeting, the Presence of the Lord was so strong and he preached on, “Have YOU had a Pentecost?” from Acts 10 and 11. There came a time in the service when he called those who wanted hands laid on them to come, so my friend and I did. When Pastor Rodney came and lightly touched me, the power of God came all over me and I fell under His power. As I lay there with my eyes closed, my hands became heavy and I saw in a vision the anointing (it seemed like a golden liquid) all over my arms, flowing down into my hands where it rested.
They were SO heavy! I laid there a long time and the Lord spoke some wonderful things to me for my personal life and ministry that was to come. He knew the hunger of my heart to see people healed and touched by Jesus as I laid hands on them, and was so good to help my faith. He spoke to me as I lay there that, “Tonight I have allowed you to see and feel my power in your hands to help your faith; now, when you go and lay hands on people, think back and remember this moment so you will KNOW no matter if you feel any power or not that My power is in you and in your hands. Then just believe as you lay hands on them that this heavy anointing you feel tonight will go into them and do a mighty work.” I understood that if I believed, and could get the person in need to believe, then the power that is always in me would manifest and touch them. And I want to testify to the glory of God that since then the Lord has used these hands to heal cancer, arthritis, uncontrolled and soon to be terminal diabetes, back injuries, a growth on a lady’s hand, internal bleeding that the doctors couldn’t find the cause of or fix, and many other things. People have been filled with joy; they have fallen under God’s power, they have felt the “heat” and the “fire” (their words) as I have prayed for them.
One friend of mine I asked to hold my Bible for me as we walked into work on day, and as soon as he took it from me he jumped saying it was hot and it felt like it was on fire, just from being in my hands that the Lord flows through. I could give so many testimonies, but what I really want people to know is that, this was over 13 years ago and the touch of God lasts! IF you keep the fire for Jesus and the gifts of God in you stirred up all the time, that power will always be there to meet your own needs and to bless, heal, set free, work miracles in, and impart fresh fire of love for Jesus to others whenever you let Him work through you. I praise God for Pastor Rodney, but what impressed me most in that first meeting of his, was that the focus wasn’t on him; he seemed to be in the background and it was the Holy Spirit Himself just ministering to the people all over the church. I was so excited about it that I told all my friends and brought a bunch of them the next night, telling them this anointed man was preaching, but really just allowing the Spirit of God to freely come and touch the people in a very real way. But KNOW that whatever touches you are receiving from the Lord at the River, in the River Bible Institute, and other RMI meetings, they are not by the hand of man, but by the hand and power of the Spirit of God working through a yielded vessel, and what He, the Lord does in your life will not only last, but the flow of power increases over time as you grow in your knowledge of and walk with Him. All honor, glory and praise to our great and glorious God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the wonderful Spirit of the Living God! His power is real! And the effects of it last! Rev. Bryan E. A, Anointed Love Ministries, Belleville, IL
The Bible is stuffed with references to water. From the creation account where we read that “the Spirit of God was moving over the outer surface of the waters” ( Genesis twelve ), all of the way to the last chapter of Revelation where we’re told of “a brook of the water of life, clear as crystal” that’s flowing from God’s throne ( Revelation 22:1 ), we find masses of occasions where water is discussed in the Scriptures. Because water plays such a big part thru so many scenes found in the Bible, it shouldn’t be surprising to us that water is critical to our well-being and health. It not only cleans our bodies from impurities, it refreshes and satisfies us when we are parched.
But we must not overlook a spiritual dimension. So my soul pants for You, O God. My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. Do those words express your feelings? Do you end up parched for a deeper relationship with the living God? Has your world become seared and barren, leaving you like that deer, puffing for the kind of water that may satisfy your soul? Jesus once made a statement that is worth heavy consideration : “If anyone is parched, let him come to Me and drink. He who believes in Me, as the Scripture declared, ‘From his innermost being will flow brooks of living water'” ( John 7:37-38 ).
Be certain that you do not overlook the significance of “living water” in your inner life as you become aware about the price of water in your physical body. People who hope to be fit to serve God need to keep both in balance.
Before you move on with your day, pause and contemplate this : am I giving acceptable time and attention to the cultivation of my inner life? If not, what changes are required to bring my inner life and my outer life into balance?
