Matters of the Heart

Worship Soundtracks from RMIRiverSong on Vimeo.

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.

Summer Campmeeting | Elandra L Testimony

Worship Soundtracks from RMIRiverSong on Vimeo.

Jesus healed my skin and gastrointestinal disease. I suffered for many years with acne and was tormented every time I looked in the mirror. Two weeks ago, my skin became infected with boils and the enemy tried to tell me I was dying. I declared that I shall live and not die to declare the works of the Lord. Also, I struggled with gluten and lactose sensitivity. My tummy would frequently bloat and hurt. Another symptom was frequent burping spells. During the camp-meeting, Tim Hall was ministering the Word and I felt my faith increasing. I pressed in to Jesus. He touched me and I felt rapt in the presence of the Lord. There was a tingling sensation under my facial skin, movement in my tummy and lots of burps but no pain. It was an unusual touch, but I knew God was doing something. Since I received the healing of the Lord, I ate both wheat and dairy with no problems. I am amazed at the clarity of my skin now. When I look in the mirror I give glory to God and know that there is nothing to difficult for Him. Jesus is my Savior, Deliverer, and Healer! His Name is above acne and gluten/lactose intolerance.

Our lives are changed as result of the Great Awaking Tour. During the time you were in our city. My husband and I went out on the steets in providence, Linda was our team Leader. My husband and I were at one end of Broad Street and Linda and a few of the others were on the other end. I have a twin sister who lives in Providence. My twin sister has been backslidden for about 27 years give or take a little. While I was on one end of broad street winning souls. Linda was on the other end leading my sister and her daughter to the Lord. I had not seen my sister for about two months she showed up at my house that monday after the team left our area she told me that Linda lead her to the Lord gave her and her daughter a CD. Linda also prayed for my sister. My sister had a drug addiction for years she smoked crack cocaine -Linda prayed for My sister’s deliverance had a word of knowledge about what was happening in my sister’s house. That was on Wednesday. That Saturday My sister was taken to the emergency room because her blood preasure was 209 over 100 something I don’t remember what her bottom total was, however it was high. She almost died that day. -But God! The Dr. told her that the drugs were killing her. She said that her throat and air ways were closing up on her due to the amount of drug she was putting in her body. She has not touched Crack cocaine since that time. Thank you for obeying God and as a result my twin sister was set free. She is stil smoking cigarettes and drinking beer please pray for her that that habit will be broken off her as well. Oh Yeah My sister and her fiance came over on the 4th of July and my husband witnessed to my sister’s fiance and he recieved the Lord. My Husband and I have been watching the camp-meeting on the web I called in on friday during the cam-meeting -I called in for the fire of Holy Spirit to go out to soul winning the next day which was Saturday the 12th.

Using the script was a great help to her she won two people to the lord. My husband got 12 I got 3 we prayed with people. We went out for about an hour. One young man we spoke to was a born again beliver I spoke to him and told him as a child of God that he also had the responsibility to be a witness for the Lord and winning souls to the kingdom of God. He said Howwwwww???? I showed him the script. Read it to him. We gave him a DVD and a Script. He belong to a mission church in the inner city and He is ready. We want to get the materials in his hand so that we can get this mission church on fire and winning souls in the inner city also. That just a few of the stories that we have. This has so impacted our lives. We are never going to be the same again.

The outreach of December 13, started for me on the Saturday before as we went out to pass out fliers and invite the people on my bus route to bring their families and come to the Main Event on Sunday. I was team leader of about 11 people and we got a lot of ground covered. Everyone labored very hard.

Sunday was a great reward seeing all the people on the buses. I feel so blessed to be a part of a church that reaches out to the lost. I love soul winning. I love sharing the gospel with those out there who really need it. I feel such fulfillment because I’m developing relationships with those on the bus route, I love them and they all know me and we are like family. It’s such a blessing to be a conduit the LORD uses to bless those who are hurting.

I came across a lady member that I was able to get her son to receive Jesus. He works Sundays, and his mom wanted him to say the prayer of salvation. It was so neat to be able to do that.

One of the young boys on my bus won a bicycle in the children’s service. That was Isaiah and I told him that “if you keep seeking God, like you’re doing right now, that God will keep blessing you, because He has a plan and purpose for you.”

It was priceless, worth more than gold to see the joy on the kids and parents faces as I handed the toys out before we took them back home. The kids were so happy and the parents were so excited that we blessed them with such good toys. They were so thankful and had many good things to say.

I’ll never forget the way I felt as a child when I experienced the presence of God, laying on the floor. I’m so glad that Pastor Rodney has a vision for the children to be under the anointing of God. Its life changing, it’s what everyone needs.

I got to go pray for one of the people on our bus route. Rod and I went to the hospital to pray for Gail’s son and God healed him of an injury to his arm and pneumonia. He could move his arm after prayer and he walked with us as we were leaving.

Keep your Heads Up by Rodney Howard Browne

rodney howard browne talks about saul

It could have been a refreshing relief for the Master to have 1 home in which He could sit and visit, start His sandals, and actually relax. Luke recorded the scene for us in the last few verses of the tenth chapter in his gospel account.

 

 

Now as they were traveling along, He entered a hamlet ; and a girl named Martha welcomed Him into her home. She had a sister called Mary, who was sat at the Lord’s feet, listening to His word. But Martha was distracted with all her preparations ; and she came up to Him and claimed, “Lord, do You not care that my sister has left me to do all of the serving alone? Then let her know to help me.” ( Luke 10:38-40 ). Right away , we are able to see the difference between those 2 sisters—one was satisfied to sit and visit with Jesus, relaxing in His presence, while the other was all bent unfit over “all her preparations.” Pissed off and put out with Mary, Martha made a decision to unload on Jesus, informing him to order Mary to get herself in the kitchen and help her out. Did not He see that “all her preparations” needed a large amount of effort? Definitely there had been no problem with Martha’s need to be hospitable—she just took things too far, attempted to mend too much, and authorized her work to keep her from relaxing and enjoying one of those rare occasions to be with Jesus. She merited high marks for motive, but she permitted her responsibilities to keep her from making the maximum of the possibility.

 

 

The Lord answered and expounded to her, “Martha, Martha, you are worried and worried about so many things ; but only 1 thing is mandatory, for Mary has selected the good part, which shall not be taken away from her.” ( Luke 10:41-42 ). Being keenly keen, Jesus saw beyond Martha’s pressing need to prepare something for them to eat as He put His finger on the difficulty : she was making an attempt to do too much. That led straight to her losing patience with her sister and feeling the necessity to tell Jesus what to do to modify things. There had been not much wrong with her desiring to prepare and serve something—she just did not have to go overboard. That would have authorized Martha time to sit and relax with them during Jesus’s visit. She also would have stayed calm, instead of gotten “worried and bothered” about things. As we consider our goals for living a healthy way of life, it is important that we keep our balance. You may do far better in the long run if you set reasonable goals, stay calm and steady, pace yourself, and refuse to make the acute your standard. Preparation has just as much to do with the thoughts you put in your mind’s eye as it does with the food you put in your mouth.

Have you become “worried and bothered” about too many things—or are you staying calm and realistic? If your intensity level is too high, back off ; you will be a lot happier.

Strengthening Your Faith by Rodney Howard Browne

rodney howard browne talks about saul

Since our lives are full of trials, we want to remember there are always more to come.

Job admits, “For man is born for trouble, as sparks fly upward” ( Job 5:7 ). Trials are inescapable, so do not be shocked.

Be advised that our enemy, Devil , is on the loose. Since our world is fallen, we want to understand that those that love us may give us wrong recommendation. In the many years of my life, I have received wrong recommendation on many occasions from folks who really love me. They did not mean to be wrong, but they were. Since our God is sovereign, we must prepare ourselves for both blessing and adversity. Because our God is sovereign, we must prepare ourselves for blessing and grief. He hasn’t got to step into a hospice room and say, “Now let me offer 5 reasons this has occurred to your son.” Understand, God is full of compassion, but His long term, divine plan is beyond our short term, human understanding.

“It is simpler to lower your perspective of The Lord God than to raise your faith to such a height,” writes a keen writer. He then adds, “We shall watch the fight as Job’s religion is strained every way by enticements to see the reason behind his setback in something less than God.” God is fully, fully, and fully in control. Please accept and submit to that teaching. How wonderful it is to find those that trust Him to the end of this vale of suffering exclaiming, “And may His name be praised. However , may His name be praised.” that’s worship at its highest level.

May God allow you to raise your religion to such heights instead of lower your perspective of Him.

Accepting Whole Heartedly by Rodney Howard Browne

rodney-howard-browne51

Because we’ve lived with our other halves over time and became exceedingly comfy around them, we be unguarded in our words. Better halves generally get the brunt of our worst words. As we read earlier, Job failed to call her “wicked,” but “foolish.”. Job could have been a public figure, but he did not throw his weight around. It makes little difference how widely recognized or how crucial you are how long you have been married, how much cash you make, or how large your company is—or your church is ; no person has got the right to chat down to his better half. Similarly , she knows lots of stuff on you.

A better half flourishes in a context of love and acknowledgment. God has made her into the woman she has become.

And may I remind you, she’s the better half you selected.

She has become the lady God is making her into, and that calls for complete approval and unconditional love on your side. Ideally, that mix leads to a deep commitment. Both of you are in this relationship for the long haul. And no kind of hardship, difficulty, test, or trial will separate you. Shockingly , many a marriage is bound together by extremely thin, frail threads.

As tests come—from the in-laws or the kids, maybe an issue when born that leads to defects in a kid, or trials and tests in the business or fiscal realm. Talk to her about her price in your life—how much she represents to you. When the melting pot warms up, too many fellows look for methods to get out. Get troublesome with yourself and stay, whatever what.

I Don’t Know Myself by Rodney Howard Browne

rodney howard browne talks about saul

He calls some folks to do the gutsy work in the ditchs. He calls some folks to compose and conduct music. God has all sorts of creative methods to use us—ways we will not even imagine and definitely can’t see up there round the next bend in the road.

One of the toughest things to hear is that God is going to use some other person to do something that you thought was your role to fill. “Who am I, O Lord GOD, and what’s my home, that You have brought me this far? And yet this was unimportant in Your eyes, O Lord GOD, for You have talked also of the house of Your servant concerning the distant future. Again what else can David say to You? For You know Your servant, O Lord GOD.

It is important that once in a while we sit down, take a long look at our short lives, and count our blessings. Who are we to have once been shielded from the rains that slipped and the robust winds that annihilated regions, leaving hundreds homeless? Who are we that He has sanctified our home and kept it safe? Warm in winter. Who am I, Lord, that you must give me health and strength to be in a position to hold a job or pursue this career or get this degree? Or to have parents who have inspired me? Or to have these great youngsters and to see them grow? Who am I? “Dream or no dream, I am a sanctified person,” asserts David.

Here is more proof that David was a person after God’s own heart.
