As you open you the doors the sounds hit you!!!! The yells, screams, hoots and hollering. The sound is loud and infectious! It’s like you are in the stadium of the Tampa Bucs fans at the best game. But no you have come to a place full of people that love Jesus more than life! This is just the second day of Winter Campmeeting but day twenty-two of the Great Awakening Tour! So far this place has been exploded with the raw power of God! We have step over into the full realm of what God wants us to be doing here in this ministry.
That is telling people about Jesus and demonstrating the raw power of God. We are making history, not just because we are live on TV every night for free, not because we have the best crew working, or that we don’t take an offering on TV!! We are making history we are so fortunate to usher in the coming of Lord Jesus Christ! -Teresa T.
That what can I say about this last week? There aren’t many words that can describe what God has been doing in me and for me. There are many great things that I could go on about but I will just focus on a couple of them. First, this has been a week of tremendous blessing financially. God has blessed me to the point of eliminating some major debt. My car got paid off being the biggest of them all. This will absolutely free me up to do many things that I have not previously been able to do.
This is something that I have prayed for, worked for, Believed God about for a long time. Because of the debt that has been eliminated it will save me over half my salary back into my hands to help further fund the gospel. Praise God! The second thing that I would like to share is what God did on the streets this last week. Hewas able to be a team leader for a group that for the large majority had never been soul winning before in their life.
I was able to help train them and show them that the power of God works when we simply put all the pressure on Him and let Him use us. We were on the streets for about one hour and the team I had was able to lead 52 people to the Lord. This was amazing considering eight of the eleven people on my team had never been soul winning before. God is continually faithful to His Word! thanks you -Darrell G.
This is about the caring and love of God for each person. Last week while soul winning, I knocked on the door of an apt and heard two small children making noise and heard a man yelling at them.No one answered the door so my daughter and I began to walk away. As we were leaving, we heard the windows rattle as if something , hopefully not someone, was being thrown against that wall and making the windows rattle. Even my 9 year old daughter knew something wasn’t right. I really didn’t want to leave but what can you do if no one will open the door? I felt impressed of the Lord to pray “that someone would open the door”.
The instruction went no further than that. So I stood at the bottom of the stairs and prayed for a minute or two and went back up the stairs and knocked on the door. This time there were no sounds coming from the apt. No one answered. My daughter and I began to walk across the parking lot when my daughter told me that someone had opened the door. So I ran back up and a young man stood in the doorway holding the hand of a one year old child. I gave him our church flyer and he told me that his wife was the “God person”. He was an atheist. I asked him if he knew how much God loved him and had a wonderful plan for his life and he stated, “I don’t believe in God anymore.
I asked him if he were to die today is he 100% sure that he would go to heaven and he stated that right now he “was choosing purgatory”. He was very polite and very politely shut the door in my face. My daughter was disappointed that he didn’t give his life to the Lord, however as I explained to her, the Lord knew what this man needed to hear and by hearing that God loves him, I believe that this man will return to the Lord. It’s already done in the Spirit. As we yield to the Spirit of God in circumstances such as this, God will touch their heart and they will be saved.-Jeff P.
Recently he was at the post office and locked my keys in the car and had to call family to come and help. While waiting in the parking lot a man came up and parked along side. I asked if i could use his phone to make the call to family to bring other set of keys. Later he came out of post office, he started to get in his car and stopped and looked at me quietly for a second, in that quiet moment the Holy Spirit told me to share the gospel with him. a split second after the enemy said but you don’t have a script to read from. A split second after that The holy spirit said just speak!!!!, and so i did and he received Jesus into his heart, it was precious moment, and he was changed, made more joyful, and encouraged right before my eyes, we hugged and he went on his way. It was evidence to me The Holy Spirit is my helper! hallelujah!
Then as I was floating with joy after that experience, someone tap on my shoulder. as I turned, it was another man who said ” i over heard what you were saying with that other man and I want some too”, Glory to God he got saved and the joy and peace of God flooded him too. Then when my dad came to get me, who OH BY THE WAY!!, (Pastor Daniel always says that) I’m believing will be saved one day soon, I had to tell of what just happened while waiting. The far reaching implications of this GAT is not known, it’s GOOD! My family will be saved, hallelujah I now have the script Memorized thank you, to the Pastors, thank you Jesus. Thanks you… –Jeff P.
Hi my name is Jared Johnson and I just moved here from Roscoe Illinois. Pastor Rodney Howard Browne and Adonica and their team came to my church last year and truly touched my heart through their ministry and hunger to reach the lost. I was attending Life church on a regular basis and was just hungry to continue to further my life in the things of God and felt a calling on my life to enroll into R.B.I. The Lord has put on my heart changing my life on a daily basis through renewing my mind with the Word, Hecontinue to grow in godly character into becoming more and more like Jesus Christ. I truly believe this is going to be a life changing process in my walk with the Lord. I am truly looking forward to fulfilling the will of God for my life while here on this earth. He says that this ministry is truly going to help me be the person God has called me to be by pressing the issue of reaching out to the lost and people in general which i have struggled with all my life. I have never really been an open person to others and already i am breaking free from that on daily basis by reaching out to others. It is such a relief to be able to focus on others and their needs instead of constantly worrying about my own. He since i have truly dedicated my life and will over to the Lord I have been delivered from drugs and smoking cigarettes and just recently by coming into agreement in prayer with others my lower back has been aligned perfectly after being sucked in and out of alignment for many years. Praise God. Healer and deliverer. All my life since i was younger i sought a life of pleasure through altering my mind with chemicals and nothing has ever set me free of the things of this world except the blood of Jesus which has gave me a desire to Love Him and others and by doing that i have had no desire to ever return to my old way of life. I have literally become a new creation in Christ and He is constantly working on my heart to change my thinking words and actions and always convicts me immediately on my shortcomings and areas that i need to work on. Since i have been keeping Him first my whole attitude and outlook on life has changed and I am being blessed like never before. He believes that things are falling into place on His time table one right after another and it has truly taught me patience in my life and He is constantly preparing me for promotion in my spiritual walk with Him.2010 has been the best year of my life and with God I know all things are possible. I know that it is just going to get better and better each and every day as long as I keep Him first and loving others and pressing in to the things of God regardless of how I feel. I am so truly grateful for my life now and I am looking forward to an everlasting change In reaching out to the lost and populating the mansions of Heaven. Thank you… Amen!!!!!!!!!!! –Jared J.
This is the first week of the Great Awakening and God has been doing incredible things and I can’t wait to see what God is going to do in and through this ministry in the up coming years. So far it feels like every night it gets better and better the presence of God just fills the place in so many different ways. The best night for me was on Thursday, God was touching me and I just keep pressing in and it felt like God was hugging me and the more I pressed in it felt like he was squeezing me harder as harder. When I felt that, I never wanted him to let go I just wanted to be in his presence and never leave. As a youth leader it is so awesome to watch so many young people experience the presence of God. Every service they press in and the fire of God touches them and they don’t just keep it inside of them, instead they carry it out and they pour it out as much as they possibly can. It is such an honor to see what God is doing in the lives of many young people! I believe that God is going to do incredible things in this upcoming year. So many on fire people will be used by God in a whole new level and having these services every night will stir us up and help us build ourselves and press in on God’s word and I can’t wait. God is so good and it’s only the beginning!! Thank you-Rom D.

Sunday, March 23, 2008 The thing that sets Christianity apart from all the other beliefs and religions out there is the resurrection of Jesus. He said that many people have been martyred or died, but only Jesus took the weight of the sins of the world on Himself and only Jesus was resurrected from the dead. Through this resurrection, all who believe are raised up with Him into everlasting life!
Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live. 26 And whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die. Do you believe this?” John 11:25-26 NKJV
He believes that “Men of Israel, hear these words: Jesus of Nazareth, a Man attested by God to you by miracles, wonders, and signs which God did through Him in your midst, as you yourselves also know—23 Him, being delivered by the determined purpose and foreknowledge of God, you have taken by lawless hands, have crucified, and put to death; 24 whom God raised up, having loosed the pains of death, because it was not possible that He should be held by it. 25 For David says concerning Him: ‘I foresaw the LORD always before my face, For He is at my right hand, that I may not be shaken. 26 Therefore my heart rejoiced, and my tongue was glad; Moreover my flesh also will rest in hope. 27 For You will not leave my soul in Hades, Nor will You allow Your Holy one to see corruption. 28 You have made known to me the ways of life; You will make me full of joy in Your presence.’ 29 “Men and brethren, let me speak freely to you of the patriarch David, that he is both dead and buried, and his tomb is with us to this day. 30 Therefore, being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him that of the fruit of his body, according to the flesh, He would raise up the Christ to sit on his throne, 31 he, foreseeing this, spoke concerning the resurrection of the Christ, that His soul was not left in Hades, nor did His flesh see corruption. 32 This Jesus God has raised up, of which we are all witnesses. 33 Therefore being exalted to the right hand of God, and having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, He poured out this which you now see and hear. 34 “For David did not ascend into the heavens, but he says himself: ‘The LORD said to my Lord, ‘Sit at My right hand, 35 Till I make Your enemies Your footstool.”‘ 36 “Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly that God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Christ.” 37 Now when they heard this, they were cut to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, “Men and brethren, what shall we do?” 38 Then Peter said to them, “Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. 39 For the promise is to you and to your children, and to all who are afar off, as many as the Lord our God will call.”
Acts 2:22-39 NKJV
And with great power the apostles gave witness to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. And great grace was upon them all. Acts 4:33 NKJV
God has fulfilled this for us their children, in that He has raised up Jesus. As it is also written in the second Psalm: ‘You are My Son, Today I have begotten You.’ 34 And that He raised Him from the dead, no more to return to corruption, He has spoken thus: ‘I will give you the sure mercies of David.’ 35 Therefore He also says in another Psalm: ‘You will not allow Your Holy one to see corruption.’ 36 “For David, after he had served his own generation by the will of God, fell asleep, was buried with his fathers, and saw corruption; 37 but He whom God raised up saw no corruption. 38 Therefore let it be known to you, brethren, that through this Man is preached to you the forgiveness of sins; 39 and by Him everyone who believes is justified from all things from which you could not be justified by the law of Moses. Acts 13:33-39 NKJV
For if we have been united together in the likeness of His death, certainly we also shall be in the likeness of His resurrection, 6 knowing this, that our old man was crucified with Him, that the body of sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves of sin. 7 For he who has died has been freed from sin. 8 Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with Him, 9 knowing that Christ, having been raised from the dead, dies no more. Death no longer has dominion over Him. 10 For the death that He died, He died to sin once for all; but the life that He lives, He lives to God. 11 Likewise you also, reckon yourselves to be dead indeed to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 6:5-11 NKJV
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His abundant mercy has begotten us again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, 4 to an inheritance incorruptible and undefiled and that does not fade away, reserved in heaven for you, 5 who are kept by the power of God through faith for salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while, if need be, you have been grieved by various trials, 7 that the genuineness of your faith, being much more precious than gold that perishes, though it is tested by fire, may be found to praise, honor, and glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ, 8 whom having not seen you love. Though now you do not see Him, yet believing, you rejoice with joy inexpressible and full of glory, 9 receiving the end of your faith—the salvation of your souls. 1 Peter 1:3-9 NKJV
The mission of the local church is: Preaching and teaching; Making disciples; Fellowship; Worship; Missions and evangelism; Maturity of the believer; Ministry in the home; Ministry to material needs.
Worship:
Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father. 22 Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews. 23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. 24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. John 4:21-24 KJV
The Church – the Body of Christ – was in the heart and the mind of God from the foundation of the world. The world had never seen anything like it – it was a mystery known only by the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Jesus talked about the Church, but, not until He died and rose again, was she revealed for all to see. This Church is not a mere organization, but it is a Kingdom – the Kingdom of God – that has no geographical boundaries, no cultural boundaries, no racial boundaries – no boundaries or limitations at all. The invitation to salvation is extended to every generation and every family, tribe and nation on the face of the earth.
Worship is the hallmark of the Church. That is what we do – we worship God and Him alone. We worship Him in spirit and in truth. We worship Him in every way possible! We don’t worship at a particular place, in a particular way with mere rituals or lip service – we can and should worship God from the heart anywhere, anytime. In the local church and wherever Christians gather, they worship God by singing, praying, preaching, giving and serving. An important mission of the local Church is to promote and sustain an atmosphere that is conducive to worship, prayer and praise. The Lord should always feel welcome in our midst.
But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light: 10 Which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy. 1 Peter 2:9-10 KJV
We are a peculiar people – God’s own purchased, special people – a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy, dedicated nation. Set apart to show forth and publish His praise, virtues and excellence. We worship God personally because of what He has done for us and also for Who He is. At the same time, by our worship, we reflect the goodness and greatness of our God to the world He loves and died for.
We have no permanent city, but we are looking for the one which is to come. 15 Through Him, therefore, let us constantly and at all times offer up to God a sacrifice of praise, which is the fruit of lips that thankfully acknowledge and confess and glorify His name. Hebrews 13:14-15 AMP
In the Old Testament, the offering of animal sacrifices was usually a part of their worship of God, but in the New Covenant, the Church offers up to God a sacrifice of praise. We worship in Spirit and in truth by praising with heart and lips – thankfully acknowledging and confessing and glorifying His name. The spirit of worship, prayer and praise, is what brings revival, renewal and growth to the Church.
I appeal to you therefore, brethren, and beg of you in view of [all] the mercies of God, to make a decisive dedication of your bodies [presenting all your members and faculties] as a living sacrifice, holy (devoted, consecrated) and well pleasing to God, which is your reasonable (rational, intelligent) service and spiritual worship. Romans 12:1 AMP
Another way we worship God is by presenting ourselves – spirit, soul and body – to God, as a living sacrifice. We worship God by refusing to allow sin to have its way in us and by dedicating ourselves to holiness and godliness with the help of the Holy Spirit. Our godly lives serve to worship and bring glory to God. This is our reasonable service – the very least we can do for such a wonderful Savior!
What is the conclusion then? I will pray with the spirit, and I will also pray with the understanding. I will sing with the spirit, and I will also sing with the understanding.
1 Corinthians 14:15 NKJV
We worship God in Spirit, by the Holy Spirit, sincerely from our hearts. We worship God in Truth, according to, and conforming to, His precious word and His image. We worship with our mouth, in our earthly language, and in words we know and choose. We worship in the spirit, in tongues, in our heavenly language with words that come directly from the Spirit Himself. In the spirit, we can worship gloriously and with no reservations or limitations. The Holy Spirit worships our most wonderful, glorious, majestic, mighty, gracious Heavenly Father, through us, with words more fitting that mere human language could ever express! Thank God, that He gave us a way to truly express how much we love and appreciate Him and all He has done!
Who shall not reverence and glorify Your name, O Lord [giving You honor and praise in worship]? For You only are holy. All the nations shall come and pay homage and adoration to You, for Your just judgments (Your righteous sentences and deeds) have been made known and displayed. Revelation 15:4 AMP
For all eternity, the Church, together with the angels and heavenly creatures, will worship and praise their God and King!
According to Rodney Howard Browne after attending the 2010 Ministers Conference my whole world view is beginning to change to see more like Christ. I was able to learn how to flow in the anointing as an usher. Given the chance to be blessed able to server those Great men and women of God was a life changing experience. The financial business teaching on the end time harvest has made an impression on my heart enabling me to connect what the lord is telling. How I’m going to be funding the End Time Harvest of souls.
After this Ministers Conference I can see and understand how much more I’m called to the nation’s, parts of this world where no one else has been. I can see how God is going to open up the doors having to do with funding the end time Harvest to get me into these remote places enabling them to be shaken by the Love of the Father. Rodney Howard Brown I now have a new mentor Dr. Phil a man who has let the Lord use him to make a way for many of us to go out into the nations where the Love of Christ needs to be preached. When watching Dr. Phil I received revelation on the renewed mind of Christ.
Now when I look at Pastor Rodney Howard Browne and Dr. Phil I see and hear the renewed mind of Christ in them reveling to me what the Word means when It talks about the renewing the mind and what it really is. I have learned not to limit my personal visions or anything else in this life from here on out. The Vision is clearer more then ever now on what I have felt and heard by The Spirit of God upon my life and what he is doing in this world before the Return of Christ.
Just how big it really is and how he wants to use me. In doing this he is showing me who I really am and was created to be. Now because of all this I can say that the dream that has been inside of me from the beginning of my life is coming forward to where I can walk it out in my time hear on this earth. This conference has just been an all around stretch of everything in me and a major blessing in my life. Thank you Rodney Howard Brown ..
