Tulsa Crusade
I went into a nursing home in Tulsa and there was an 83 yr old gentleman who was saying the prayer of salvation. When I got to the part where I asked him to repeat ” and I forgive anyone that has ever harmed me” he said ” I forgive everyone except my wife.” I explained to him what the bible says about forgiveness and that if he wanted God to forgive his sins he needed to forgive all those who had sinned against him. The gentleman hesitated and then said “and I forgive everyone who has ever harmed me including my wife.” He had tears in his eyes as he finished the prayer. I felt that he was angry with his wife for placing him in the nursing home.

Prayer
For over 2 weeks now, I have been mercilessly submitting my prayer requests for my new business to prosper, among other things. And last night, I got that message that there’s a minimum payment due on my credit card (from using it to make that investment). So I just gave it to God and I told him out loud something like, “OK, God, I’m holding you to your Word.” Well, guess what I just got in the mail? A nice, fat check for fifty big smackeroos! It may not sound like much, but I am totally stoked! Thanks to the River people for putting up with me, and thank you, God!!! I would also like to thank God for His grace upon me. I need it. “While I live will I praise the LORD: I will sing praises unto my God while I have any being.” Psalm 146:2

I really needed a lot of favor with my pastor’s wife because, so far, I hadn’t been allowed to sing anything that I’d written. So I’d been sending in those prayer requests – I needed a lot of extra UMPH! (I always will.) Well my friends… last night I told the pastor’s wife she’s gonna love it, we sang it, and we will now be singing and performing one of the songs that I WROTE – yes that’s right – next Wednesday night!!! Give Hillsong my regards.

Carpenters Home Church Revival River Church
In 1994 for the first time I was touched in the revival meetings. It was at that meeting that I made a decision to live for Jesus. Years later I became a part of the River when it was at the sundome at USF. I was a single mother of a young boy by this time recieving government assistance. I tithed a dollar bill which was all I had left and was then granted a teaching positon the following week. God did not stop there. I decided to attend bible school and so did a friend of mine that I invited to go to church. He became saved and filled with the holy ghost that same year. Shortly after that we both joined the choir and became active in children’s minsitry. Then we were married and I now have three children, happily married, teaching children with special needs. One might think this is not a miracle. But it is for me. You see I came from a dysfunctional home, I watched abuse was abused and sexually molested. God set me free from fear, hate, anger, and filled me up with love, a sound mind, and hope. I am so glad that God touched me. He has broken the chains of bondage and set me free from sexual abuse. Thus three children later I am happy to say God can and will heal all of your brokeness. Even the things that no one but you know about.

GODTV broadcast dec 16 2007
I just wanted to thank God for your ministry, and how the Lord has blessed me through your programs on TV. I was touched deeply by the St. Louis, Mo. broadcast sunday night. I grew up in a pentecostal church, even though the church that I grew up in has erred in their holiness standards my parents taught us what living for Jesus really meant. My dad pastored churches through-out Geaogia while I was growing up. Here’s my testimony my dad is really old fasioned when it comes to comprimise in bible living, and the ministries he listens to, but he watched your TV. broadcast last night on GODTV. He was really blessed in your ministry, now he dosn’t feel like the only preacher that preaches the truth anymore. My dad is 83 yrs+, and recently he has felt turned aside from the church he spent his life building, but the message you preached sunday night was up-lifting. And I’m glad you have those scripts on your website, I’ll be downloading them soon. I talked to a brother in the Lord today about going to the retirement homes,Nursing homes,and local jails, we both play instruments and he has another friend that plays the piano. I will be using your resources and submitting our progress. I hope to see you in Jan. at the River. If you have those street ministries in Tampa I look foward to being there. I’m Praying that God will continue His wonderful works as you go from city to city.

On Friday the 14th Pastor Rodney asked for all those that would volunteer the following day to go witness with the teams to come forward. Before praying he said for us to think of the number of souls we wanted to reach. Instead of thinking of a number, I asked the Holy Spirit to give me a number, and He gave me the number 28. I agreed with Pastor and went home. The following day we went to visit a nursing home. At the end when we looked at the count, I noticed that we had spoken to 33 with 27 conversions and 1 rejection. As I was leaving, I said, “Lord, I can’t believe you’ll let me leave this place without meeting the number the Holy Spirit gave me last night. Please Lord, help me reach one more person for your kingdom. Just at the edge of the nursing home, about 2 feet away from the boundary there was a man in a wheel chair, and good to His word, the Lord helped me to lead the man to repentance. There was also an elderly lady that had lost her mind and kept repeating “nazareth, bayamon” which are the names of two different cities. As we entered the room the attending nurse told us that we were going to loose our time because she had lost her mind and didn’t understand anything. To prove her point she walked over to the patient and for over 2 minutes tried to make her say another word. Finally she succeeded and the patient repeated the word once, then went back to repeating “nazareth, bayamon.” Suddenly a boldness rose up in me; I walked over to her, looked down at her bed and said, “repeat with me, Jesus, forgive me of my sins, I repent. I receive you as my Lord and Savior. Cleanse me with your blood.” To the nurse’s amazement, she repeated every single word I told her. By the way, when I approached her, her eyes were crooked and she had a “glassy” look in her eyes. However, as soon as I said “Jesus,” her entire completion changed, her eyes became straight and she looked at me straight into my eyes as she repeated the words. I’m eternally thankful to the Lord and how he’s using Pastor Rodney to light a fire inside of us. Since the awakening, I no longer look at people the same, everyone I look at now I see them as someone that God loves and is going to hell unless we intervene. I know it is our responsibility to reach a lost and dying world. If we don’t, no one else will. There is literally a fire inside of me that is continually consuming me and the only way I can appease it is by witnessing to people. Not only is this happening to me, but two of my three sons have also caught the fire and are witnessing to their peers at school and work. My four years old grand-daughter prays for her older sister (6 years old) and says, “fire” and all they want to do is talk about the Lord. They were also deeply touched at the revival. May our Lord continue using Pastor Rodney and the team as He has here in South Florida.
