The Lord has been trying to get me to get off of food stamps for a couple months. In my mind I just didn’t see how that was possible as a single mother with 3 kids and no job yet. Great Awakening Tours on Thursday September 8th The Lord asked me again and I filled out the offering envelope but when the bucket passed I didn’t put it in.  I went to bathroom. I started crying uncontrollably and felt horrible inside. So I said ok Lord. I returned to my seat and took the envelope with the food stamp card to the alter. The next day I made the last can of tuna in the house for the kids to have for lunch and I thought Lord I’m not going to worry about it0 After class I was asking security what I had to do to get a food box as a student walked up and said I have a whole bunch of food to donate where can I take it. She blessed me with groceries! Meat, fruit, veggies, non-perishables, milk the whole 9 yards!!!

Afriend was a Jehovah witness who use to think our church was from the devil lol. Until a few weeks ago when he started coming answered an alter call and asked for the baptism of the Holy Ghost! Just this pass Friday I also prayed with his sister who was also a Jehovah witness and she accepted Jesus. My youngest sister and my brother have been born again and have attended church. My family sees a difference in me and I myself notice a change, which is refreshingly surprisingly great! My children (ages 2 –9) are spirit filled and pray everyday on their own! They even pray for me! I know this is only the beginning for I serve the great I AM….Kimberly R.

The past couple months God has changed my life, DRAMATICALLY. I went on a mission’s trip to Honduras fully expecting to come home and move to Pennsylvania for college. While I was in Honduras I knew that God had called me to the mission field. I did not know exactly where, but I wanted to know. That I wanted to go deeper in my walk with God, I wanted to become intimate with him! I wanted to truly experience his love! I told God that I would do whatever it took to get where I need to be, he has to provide, but I will take the step. So I soon was informed about RBI. I instantly knew that that  is where God has called me to be. Soon after I was informed that I received a full scholarship and my pastor Rodney Howard Browne in Plant City found me a place to live for a great price!! God taught me then that he will always provide for me!

When I got here I was excited, but not sure what to expect. I was 10 hours away from home and the lifestyle that I had always known. Soon God showed me how to adapt. He became my best friend! He became the lover of my soul! He has overwhelmed me with blessings and wonders! Over and over he continues to touch me. Being a part of RBI I have already found so many things in my heart that need to go. Things that I never even noticed before; but God has revealed them to me. I have been touched by his fire, embraced by his presence, set free from dead religion, self-doubt and confusion. God has opened up so many doors for me and has blessed me with amazing people who are not afraid to correct me. I have fallen in love with the most Holy King; I have a new realization of his Word AND his Spirit…Kaitlyn S.

Rodney Howard Browne shows us that each service was another touch by God in the fire, burning more out and leaving me cleaner, fresher, freer and more joyous. Three hundred words are not near enough to describe the amazing experiences that I have been through since school began! I can only say that I don’t even recognize myself, and I am in awe of my God! I know He is real and that He loves me and desires to have an intimate relationship with me!

I am working on security and while on duty I pray in tongues the entire time. I am literally on fire and have such a heightened sense in the spiritual realm! Last night on duty the Holy Ghost had me zoned in on a certain woman all night. She got up to leave early and I felt the prompting to go after her. I left my post and went outside to catch her. I introduced myself to her and after talking with her found that she had planned to kill herself. I brought her back in and got a pastor to pray with her. She came back in to the service, and Pastor was walking around slowly praying for only a couple of individuals. I began to intercede for this woman in the spirit and prayed that the anointing would seek and find her. He only prayed for maybe 7 individuals that night and the 2nd to last one was her.

He came out from the front into the aisle and stood in front of her and gave a word of knowledge for her, telling her that God was aware of all that she was going through, etc. and then he laid hands on her! I was so overwhelmed at the glory of God that I ran to the back and began jumping up and down in joy and then he asked that I be brought to Him where he laid hands on me. God is so good. I feel like He wants me to know that He is moving in and through me. That being effective in God’s hands is a miracle coming from my past! I am a new creature in Christ! I will never be the same again! I am sold out completely to Christ!

In Great Awakening Tours one morning, a few short weeks after I had been living here in Tampa, pressing in, and starting to attend services regularly at The River, my mom came to visit us. We were sitting in Sunday service, and a young lady came up on stage to give a testimony. Rodney Howard Brown tells us that she was talking about trusting God and sewing and reaping. She gave a two hundred dollar offering, and then the next morning the young girl went to check her mail. There, sitting in a blank white envelope – was double the amount of money she had given the day before.

I remember looking over at my mother’s face and seeing nothing but discouragement. I asked her what was wrong, and she simply replied with, “nothing like that ever happens to me.” I got to share with my mom about how I had been praying months before moving here for school, about the apartment and about my car. I told her all we had to do is believe, and receive. It was that easy. She listened, and we went home, nothing more was said. The next day, my mom was checking OUR mailbox, and in it, was not only a envelope from the bank for her, but envelopes for me, and my brother as well.

She sat down on the sofa, and slowly opened hers, handing me mine. Immediately I started laughing. God is so good. With tears rolling down my mom’s face, she read her check from the bank out loud, and in it was eight hundred dollars. Thank you Jesus! We both sat in the living room of our new place, laughing and crying. God’s love washed over me. Not even caring about opening the check, all I could do was thank Him – realizing and seeing everything that he has done for me. Holding the check in my hands was a wakeup call. Just to remember what he is doing daily, and to not become complacent or selfish. He promised us he was going to take care of us, and we have to try not to take things for granted. We have to count our blessings daily. Carly H.

Great Awakening Tours wants us to know that when we were asked to write about what God has been doing in us since we got here for school, I have to say I was a bit at a loss. Not because God hasn’t been doing things in me, they just haven’t become concrete yet. I know for sure that this season is a season of demarcation in my life. From when God first called me out of California and the apathetic, backslidden life I had allowed myself to degenerate into, to this day, I can, in fact, see the fruit of this decision. Tonight Pastor Eric was giving an alter call and a sentence he spoke summed up my life in California exactly.

Drinking, smoking pot, living in sensuality, and yet yearning constantly for God to change me. I knew all of those things were empty and futile, but I felt alone, had no community, no body of believers or even friends to spur me on to what was right. At every turn people were encouraging me down that road of self fulfillment, of instant gratification. Thanks be to God that He spoke clearly enough for me to hear Him in the state I was in to FLEE California. Great Awakening Tours shows that there were many acts of supernatural provision made by Him just to get me here. I had no idea, at all, what was in store for me. I had never even heard of Pastor any of this ministry before my mom started watching in the early spring.  Frances H.

The services  have  been  great.  I  have  been  walking  in  the  Call  Center  and  have  seen  people  healed  in  their  back, spine, asthma and many  more  things. They  Call  in  Hungry,  they  call  in  to  get  saved.  I  have  learned  a  lot  of  stuff  being  here  in  R.B.I.  that  I  will  take  when  I  have  a  ministry.

Being  on  the  phones  is  an  amazing  time.  America  is  being  stirred  by  Revival  Fire’s,.  This  is  a  place  to  be  trained  up  and  launched  out.  I  remember  I  was  going  to  get  a  scholarship  to  go  play  football  and  then  the  Lord  told  me  there  is  more  for  you  then  this.  So  I  began  to  seek  the  Lord  and  then  I  got  a  Scholarship  to  come  here.

The Lord  told  me  he  would  send  me  to  the  launching  pad  to  launch  me  into  Fulltime  ministry,  what  a  great  Ministry  to  be  apart  of.  Great Awakening Tours shows that revivalists  are  being  raised  up  to  go  out  and  shake  this  World  for  the  Glory  of  God,  and  to  think  I  am  privileged  to  be  apart  of  what  God  is  doing.  Wow  it  is  awesome. -Todd M

In the revival meetings this week I have seen many people get touched by the power of God. There were many testimonies of people encountering God on the phones in the call center. Rodney has been pouring out his passion for God over the airways for two weeks now with many people using the soul winning script and increasing the number of people who have prayed since the beginning of the Great Awakening Tours Broadcast to 10,225 as of this writing. I pray that the fire catches more and more as these weeks go by!

I have been enjoying playing music for worship this past week. Tonight’s song “Blessed” by Hillsong was awesome! “Hear our prayer oh Lord God Almighty, come bless our land as we seek you, worship you”. It was very appropriate and inspiring! I pray the prayer of this song is fulfilled! God bless America and bring her to her knees willingly before we all may be driven to our our knees in desperation as a result of calamity!

God’s Holy Spirit is available for the asking! Jesus said in Luke 11:11-15 “If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone? Or if [he ask] a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent? Or if he shall ask an egg, will he offer him a scorpion? If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall [your] heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him? (KJV)” So in accordance with this scripture, let us trust God to receive the gift of his spirit which is his promise to us and live our lives before God with him as the head and we will have a Great Awakening Tours ! -Dennis M.

How could anyone not feel the fire and urgency for souls after being in or watching these meetings here at the River at Tampa Bay Church, anyone who calls themselves a believer needs to be plugging in to these meetings one way or another, In these meeting you will find the full unadulterated word of God with those who believe in the Bible and the whole Bible and nothing but the TRUTH.

Come one come all and be revived and encouraged, come and have your faith build up there is so much great things going on here for the Kingdom of God in these meetings, there are people getting healed, people getting set free, miracles are taking place here many workings of the spirit of God and the main thing souls, souls, souls! souls are being won all over the globe for the Kingdom of God the Great Awakening Tours is happening now, America is coming back to Christ I encourage all you pastors out there to get your churches involved in what’s going on here, come and be a part of the great awakening, pleas America is crying for the truth, crying to be freed from darkness, and all it takes is for all that believe to allow themselves to be used by the Spirit of God that same Spirit that was talked about in the book of Acts so all of you believers out there I ask you, don’t be a lame, If you don’t know now you know.  –Noble K.

It is amazing, the opportunity that we have at the River being a part of this Great Awakening Tours. This is a practical, living, breathing experience of the Kingdom of God in action. It is indeed a Great Awakening for me and the people we have been praying for. The things we have been learning in the Bible School are coming alive. My prayer has been for Jesus to allow his gifts to flow through me and Minister to people. As I minister to people in the prayer room my God has literally walked off the pages of the Bible into my life through the phone lines. I have experienced this week two healing that have taken away every exalted knowledge of Jesus based on reasoning. A lady in Great Awakening Tours with a fractured spine unable to touch her feet because of the hypersensitivity, a weight of pressure on her back, pressure on her hip unable to walk because of weak knees,  miraculously healed by the power of God as we joined faith together and believed God and refused to accept no for an answer.

During Great Awakening Tours she was totally overcome with the power and awesomeness of God as she actively engaged her faith. I was blown away as I pressed the phone to my ears to make sure I was really hearing what I was hearing – she said the weight has lifted…………….. whew   my God the pressure on my hip is gone….. I said to her do something you couldn’t do before, I said could you walk she said bent over but my knees were wobbly, I said get up and walk…. She said …. I am walking around right now and my knees are not wobbly. Whew  whew  whew… she just burst forth in Joy.

It was similar with the other lady she had swelling in her body and pain all over; she had an appointment with the doctor this week. She said her pain was excruciating. As I prayed I heard the Holy Spirit say it’s not in the word, it’s not by might….. I said “Holy Spirit pray through me”; immediately!! I mean immediately! As what happen the Holy Spirit began to take over and flow through my lips the lady screamed “the pain, the pain…… I said “what’s happening with the pain” she said “it’s all gone! It’s all gone! Oh my God the pain is gone”! ……………God is real, His miracles are not for the past it is now.  –Rosemarie M.

I am so compelled by the Great Awakening Tours that even as my family is fighting a cancer diagnosis, I still go out beyond our inner circle and tell people about the good news of the gospel! The news that Jesus came to seek and save the lost is much bigger than any devastating health care news a family can receive. When sharing about the good news of salvation, joy erupts in my heart and it spurs me on above and beyond our household problems. My wife has taken on a new strength in this too. I see her moving in a supernatural strength and determination that I know comes from the fire fueling.

It is as though it is healing her from the inside out. I know that as I continue to take care of the Lord’s business, His first priority which is souls, I know that everything we need will be taken care of.  I know that my wife is healed so by faith we go ahead and minister anyway ignoring what the doctors are saying in the natural. The anointing on this soul winning since the cancer diagnosis has ramped up in intensity.  I can only describe it that it has much greater purpose.  Nothing else matters.   My children have experienced the fire and the joy from the Great Awakening too.  Last Sunday night we returned home from church and my son Daniel received the joy of the Lord.  He has never had the uncontrollable laughter and joy before. It was hours before it wore off.  God is doing a purifying in his life. The Great Awakening Tours is changing our lives. –Gary J.
