God I don’t know why this happened and what your plan is for my life but I know that your word is true.  Help me to trust you more.  Help me to not be afraid.  Lord, I know that you who began a good work in me is faithful to complete it.  I know you didn’t cause the destruction of my marriage and that you can make good out of bad”.  At first I struggled through work every day but God blessed me there also by giving me a spirit filled on fire for God boss.  He prayed over me, counseled me, encouraged me and loved me with the love of God.  I would go to work and see God’s love shining at me through his eyes.

I began to read the New Testament page by page and chapter by chapter and God continued to amaze me. I would read or study something and the pastor would preach the same thing I was reading that next Sunday.  It went on like that for weeks and through that I began to believe that God really did care about me and that there was nothing I could do to make him stop loving me.  God loves us so much.  I can remember Ms Lorna telling me several times while I was working at RMI that I needed to get out of my head and into my heart and I just didn’t get it.  Well, I finally got it.

When you have lost everything that you thought was real in your life and you don’t know which way to turn, God will be there and all you have to do is reach out to him and he will strengthen you and lift you up and fill you with his love. About a month after I left my husband, I was feeling alone, helpless and hopeless.  I went home to my room of boxes, put on my CD player full of praise and worship music and laid on my bed. He  listened to the promises being sung and through tears of praise I let Jesus truly touch my heart.  An hour after I laid down I got up a different person and from then on I really heard God speak to me through his word, through other Christians, through his praise and worship.  God is truly my comforter, my provider, my healer, my way maker, my peace and my joy.

Friday night, a new song came forth.  As Pastor Joel Stockstill took the stage with the Deluge band, he began to press in to a new song in the Spirit and the words “I dream of Zion” began to reverberate through his spirit.  The desire and the cry for eternity in that new heavenly city forever in the presence of the Great King was the voice of his heart.  Zion, heaven coming out of God resting on earth!  The dream of a new day when we will rule and reign with Him forever and live eternally free from constrains of this mortal flesh and this world as we know it today.There is a new day coming and oh how my heart longs for that day.

The dream of heaven must be in our hearts.  Eternity in that new heavenly city must burn within us.Heaven is our hope and home.  We are but foreigners on this earth.  We are here on a mission.  We have been sent as ambassadors of the Gospel, ambassadors of reconciliation.  The Gospel is Good News of Jesus Christ.  This Good News is that Jesus has broken the back of sin and destroyed its power over mankind therefore making heaven our home once again.  Eternal peace!  Eternal refuge!  Eternal rest!  There we will eat freely of the tree of life and drink of from the fountain of living waters that flow from the throne.

Since this night, the reality of eternity has been burning within me.  I must go and tell of this great love. He wants you to go and tell of this great hope.  Go and tell of this eternal freedom.  Seconds remain on the clock of human history of mortal man.  The time is now to with an urgency like never before to compel the lost and dying to come into the Kingdom!  We must go and tell!  They will listen! (Acts 28:28)

The past Sunday was the Operation Raven toy and food distribution attracting over 1300 in attendance at The River at Tampa Bay. The people were invited to come by people at the church and Bible school. Throughout a period of weeks flyers were handed out especially focusing on the church’s local bus routes. So by this outreach and word of mouth many came to The River bringing their kids and loved ones for this event. When the buses came there were many kids running to the buses in excitement about the toy outreach. The parents brought their kids to kids church and the check in process was quick and simple. The kids then were fed the Word and were loved on by the workers. Some kids had a hard time adjusting from being away from their parents but by the end they were involved in the fun and accepting Jesus into their hearts. In the sanctuary with the adults they were filled with the Word and saturated by the presence of God. Pastor Rodney preached the Gospel and many were drawn in by the Holy Ghost to answer the altar call for salvation. There they made Jesus Lord over their lives and allowed Him to come in and fill them with the life changing love of God. Jesus became real to them and they were filled with the joy of knowing they were going to spend eternity in heaven with Him. Next, they were taken to the altar call room and they were prayed for by workers to receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit. After receiving the fire of God in their lives and a total of over 300 salvations for the entire morning, they took their children to receive their toys and a box of food to bless the family. Everyone went home, happy and changed by the love of God. The bus workers said that they looked totally different and were definitely touched by the events of that day.

God even did warn them they still insisted that’s what they wanted. The Children of Israel rather follow after a man than to follow God Almighty’s leading, their choice caused them a lot of problems. One wrong decision can bring a lot of pain and heart ache and the anointing of God will lift off of your life.

We’re commanded in the Bible to respect Authorities and Leaders who are over us and that is not a suggestion. However God does want us to have sweet communion with him [relate to him] as our Father and depend on him for divine direction in everything and allowing the Holy Spirit to be our guide. God loves us, men make mistakes but God doesn’t. Men fail, but God and Jesus and the Holy Spirit never fail.

When we stay humble in our hearts and seek God and not a title or ministry God will bring us out in his timing. God wants us to be in relationship with him. In the mean time as we develop our relationship with him he’s doing a work in us that will help us to mortify the deeds of the flesh and, to walk in integrity, and remain faithful to him in where ever we are. Enjoying where you are on the way to where you are going.

We renew our minds daily by reading the Word of God, and affirming it in our lives by declaring it over ourselves. Praying is like a 2 way radio you talk and you listen.

David refused to take matters into his own hands and kill Saul when he had the opportunity, instead be trusted in God to vindicate him. David showed only respect and integrity toward King Saul. King Saul was his enemy and was seeking to kill David. David remained humble in heart and God in his timing vindicated David. When we go through stuff we become stronger if we keep our hearts right, and continue to walk in integrity, even when others would like to see you dead.

My name is Carlos I have been blessed to be apart of Pastor Rodney’s’ Church and the vision of it.

I was trained and how to minister the gospel effectively and then went into the streets. I ran into a man loading shopping carts in to the back of his truck when I asked Him if anyone has ever told him that Jesus loves him and has a wonderful plan for his life. He quickly pushed me away with vulgar language as he moved with haste to get his work done, but I felt that if I did not push in and make the importance of having Jesus known, then who else would tell him.

I kept reading down the soul winning script and he kept pushing me away. He wasn’t giving me the time of day, or so I thought. As I got to the end of the script and read the lines “ I am saved, I’m born again, I’m forgiven” he stopped in his tracks look at me with a broken heart and repeated the words as I said them. His whole heart had changed as if the Holy Spirit had grabbed his heart and made it new right there on the spot. He told me that no one has ever told him about Jesus and that He was real. The man had tears in his eyes and the once angry face now was draped with joy. So how can a man who had no interest in the Lord whatsoever all of sudden have a change of heart? Its 100% God and none of me, the Lord wants to reach the people but its through us, you and me and that’s why I go. It was Amazing and im so blessed, more than I even know! Thank you Pastor Rodney for letting me be apart of the vision for souls, I look forward to seeing that man again in heaven.

This past camp meeting was amazing! Every camp meeting has been life changing, but this particular camp meeting gave me a greater understanding for the anointing and fire of God and what role they play in my everyday life.

When first introduced to the fire of God, I understood that my purpose was to touch the lives of those around me; but it was during this past camp meeting that I came to an even greater understanding, that I am to walk in the fire of God and presence of God throughout my daily life; that the fire of God is here in my life to keep my attitude right; to love others; to be a good wife; to be a friend, etc.

I also noticed that during this camp meeting my attitude was changing (in a good way). My desire to please God began to increase. God began dealing with me about some issues that had been lying dormant and He allowed me to deal with them. When Pastor Rodney said that God told him to get the people under the anointing, I knew that I couldn’t end the week the same way!

It was during camp meeting that the reality of the full time ministry hit me! I know that God has called my husband and me into the ministry, but it was during camp meeting, under the anointing and in the presence of God that God revealed to me the necessity of leading a pure and holy life. It was during this camp meeting that God showed me through this purity and holy life that He has called us to, that lives are going to be changed and touched. I believe I have always known this before, but something special happened during winter camp meeting that made it all wonderfully real to me.

One of the greatest highlights of Winter Camp meeting were the nights we sang songs. It would be around 10:15pm and when you look up, it’s 12:30 or so in the morning! There were many nights that my husband and I were so full of the joy that we would stay up until 2:30 or 3, just talking about the things of God!

Revival truly does change lives. Leaving this camp meeting helped me see, that it doesn’t have to end when the week was done, but Revival can continue to live on the inside of me!

The Winter Camp Meeting had a major impact on my life and also on the lives of my family. In July of 2009 I was watching my Revival iPOD in my brother’s house in Gorham, New Hampshire. The Holy Spirit spoke to my spirit and told me to move to Florida for RBI. To tell you the truth, I was hungry for God but Florida was not where I wanted to go. I knew I needed to be obedient. I prayed to God and said that if I’m going to RBI in Florida then it would have to have an effect on my whole family. As a result of that prayer my brother who lives in North Carolina came to The Minister’s Conference back in October and it was a huge turning point in his life. Only the future will reveal what will come forth from those meetings.

Once that week was over I called my mom and told her she needed to come to camp meeting in January for vacation. It was only by the grace of God my Mom and Dad made it to RMI Winter Campmeeting 2010! Hallelujah! It was such an awesome experience to spend time with my parents in the presence of God.

The messages on righteousness and even the reproving that came forth is what we all needed to hear. I believe that what took place during that power-packed week was what God used to get me and my family where we need to be for what is coming in the future.

I know my Mom finally got the breakthroughs she had for years been believing God for. My Dad got back home and went to church. He told the pastor about it and now the pastor wants to come to the next event. The bottom line is that what happened at Campmeeting will have far- reaching effects even unto eternity.

Went to Mt Dera nursing home I had two clients there, had dine wilb, BOA & medical planning I knew both needed Jesus. Both would refuse prayer in past visits. One would read only Harry Potter books and refused to accept Jesus though her brother had tried for years to lead her to Christ. Nurse ashed her and she wanted prayer bc she always refused prayer in past. I interrupted and said Hi Betty how are you? Good to see you-told this was my client and I prayed with her to receive Jesus into her heart. Other client also prayed with me to give her life to Jesus. She had been such a nasty people to every one in past years. She had tears in eyes after we prayed-she was really touched by presence of God.

My wife and I have been mega-blessed during the G.A.T. Cocoa and G.A.T. Sanford! Last night as Pastor Rodney prayed for those in full time ministry, the Holy Spirit blew out our pipes and filled us with fresh oil! Praise God! Jean & I have had the pure joy of leading 102 souls to the Lord on the streets and in a nursing home over the past 3 days. Yesterday, a fifteen year old girl in our youth group (who has never witnessed her faith publicly before) led 3 people to the Lord at Wal-Mart … one of whom was a Mormon woman! Just before sending in this praise report, our associate pastor in Cocoa called to tell me he just led a man to the Lord at the gas station while he was getting gas and the man wants to be picked up for church on Sunday ! He also told me about another guy in our Cocoa church who got ignited at the G.A.T. Cocoa (and has led more than 50 to the Lord since the G.A.T. Cocoa) … a man knocked on his door at home, explained that he had just been released from prison and asked to use the telephone. He let him in, let him use the telephone and led the man to Jesus using the gospel script! Another girl in our youth group in Deland (who has been through hell over the past few years with severe family issues) was called out of the audience at the G.A.T. Sanford on night two (she and her friend were called out together … they were sitting towards the front on the left hand side as you face the congregation) …. Pastor Rodney prayed for them and they went flying … the one girl, Stephanie, has been giddy with the joy of the Lord ever since. Her life has been changed and she is now, for the first time, speaking civilly to her step dad! Praise the Living Lord for His awesome goodness!
