We went to the Mall and security guards caught us right away and told us to stop- that we were not allowed to pray with people. We were ” tagged”- all the officers were alerted about us and kept on eye on us. We still prayed for a few people-my testimony is for a young man the Lord ministered to. He was alone and looked like he had a small physical disability. Very sad expression. He was extremely receptive to the prayer& came back to us later to talk more. Asked us to keep him in prayer. I led 110 people to the Lord in 2 days. My goal was 100 per day. In the nursing home I met a man who was very angry & at first did not want to talk to me. As I softly spoke to him his face changed and his voice changed. He agreed to listen to me then he softened and received Christ.

Evangelized in the street from 10 am to 1pm a total of 67 people received Jesus as Lord and Savior. People in cars, homes, streets and passing by our position. Today is the day of salvation-lady got saved. I had to work all week and it is very hard request off work and there were only 2 days. Somebody else requested the last day off so after much coercing I got them to let me leave right then and there. I didn’t have time to go home and I didn’t know were the church was, when I called to my mom my minutes ran out, and I had to figure out how to order more, I finally got to the church on time. The nursing home I went to had allready been reached so I only prayed with 1. I asked to be partner with another leader so I could keep going(the rest of the group was leaving). The closest one was in the mall but she was not answering her phone. I went inside to look with my current leader and God let us straight to her. In the end I prayed with 7 people. That doesn’t sound like much, but obviously the devil didn’t want them saved, so they all be the next Billy Grahams.

I approached a dad with his 2 kids (13 yr and 10 yr?). At first the dad was stand offish. He said he wanted them to pray with me. I started the prayer and waited for the 13 yr old. The dad elbowed him and they all received the Lord. The dad gave me a donation for the ministry and the 13 yr old was smiling at the end. A 19 yr old boy said, “I know I’m going to hell.” He received Christ. My precious friend, Carol kept emailing me this message: God is perfecting all those things pertaining to your life. Well, yesterday, I received an email from my 33 year old son who I haven’t heard from in 13 YEARS! 1) He is not drinking alcohol 2) He is not using drugs 3) He says he’s “stable” i.e., has gotten his “act” together 4) He has a fulltime job as a commercial artist (using his God-given talent!) 5) He is married and says he’s happy 6) He and his wife are expecting their first child and my first grandson! I’m going to be a grandmother! Now, I think God’s delays are not denials! Praise be to God! And I believe in all God’s promises. 2 young men who thought they were saved, they read the bibles sometimes, but thought if they go to church and try to follow it that was enough. They prayed to receive Christ.

Matters of the Heart

One of the hallmarks of teaching at The River at Tampa Bay Church and The River Bible Institute is the delivery of the Word in such a simple way that a baby Christian can grasp and apply what’s being said, and yet the more mature can hear it as if for the first time. Many things I have known and read in the Bible have become real to me, imparting faith in my heart and empowering me to live what I know and believe.

Never have I been in a church were there is such emphasis on the heart. I have learned that the most important thing I am to do as a Christian is to guard my heart. That means every day I do a heart check with the Holy Spirit like a diligent farmer checking for weeds. I tell the Holy Spirit, “Come, let us go together to inspect my heart. Shine your light and if you find anything that opposes you pull it up by the roots and cast it into the fire.” I am so thankful for the Holy Spirit, because without Him I would not be able to keep my heart. He is very kind and gracious and when I am tempted to be resentful, to judge others, or to take offense He gives me the desire and courage to put the temptations to death immediately. In the class, “Matter of the Heart” I have been validated in my desire for a pure heart, challenged to trust the Lord at all times for all things, humbled by the reality of my salvation, become more grounded in my identity in Christ, have a better understanding of the snare of religion, and I have a deeper and more meaningful desire to walk in the love of Jesus. Thanks to Rodney Howard Browne.

1st time out with our teams. Prayed with 17 people in NH. Man in bed blinked his way through the salvation prayer. Afterwards the man received the joy and his countenance totally changed. Prayed with woman and she jumped forward when he said, “fill me with the Holy Spirit”. He said, “devil come out of her”. Then she sat up and became responsive. A lady recommitted her life. She said, “I can’t forgive them.” But did after. Man first said, “no get out of here.” John went to 2 others then on way out, he said, “I can say that prayer.” 1st day won 6 souls. I don’t win one soul a year. 2nd day, I became team leader. Our team was rejected so we bind the devil. 13 souls won. Team went home and I saw Margarita in children’s parking lot. We had one hour so we want to mall bus stop. Wow 10 souls and we said bye. I drove to VONS and counted 18. Goal was 20, so I drove back to mall bus stop to win two more souls.
