Once again, God leaves me in awe of his greatness. This week like always is another supernatural week. I answered phones for 2 nights this week in the call center. Wow that is awesome! So many people calling! So many calling to get filled with the Holy Ghost and FIRE! They want more of Jesus or they want Jesus. People getting healed and set free. Thank you Jesus! One testimony from a caller about her son really touched my heart. She said her son (named the same as my oldest son) was in a car accident 18 years ago and they called her and said he was in the hospital and that she didn’t have to hurry he would already be dead. Wow, how horrible! But she said she thanked God all the way there for her son and she heard God speak to her, scripture. She arrived and he was still alive and today he still lives with her. He’s 38 now with severe brain damage and he always say’s he seen Jesus and he sent him back here. I had great compassion for this lady and her son. I prayed for her salvation and healing for her son. I believe he’s healed and going to lead millions to Jesus. Three days before this call I had a huge fight with my oldest son. What he did was totally inspired by the devil and I was mad. I forgave him but I was hurt. This call made me realize how quickly we can take for granted the precious child God has given to us, even to be mad one hour is too long, even a minute. While I may always be thankful for my children I won’t ever stop thanking him while going through a storm. –Mary H.

As a student of my second year of RBI it’s a real privilege and honor not only to attend, but also to be a part of the Great Awakening leaded by pastor Rodney Howard-Browne every single evening at Tampa. The Great Awakening is here !!! America is being shaken by the fire of God through people who are really filled with the Holy Ghost.
The power of God works in so many amazing ways that words are not enough to express how each of us feels with the events occurring in front of our eyes. I have been really impacted by looking all the group of people and students working so hard with such enthusiasm for the Call Center at the River. * The Call Center is fully equipped with prayer warriors praying and interceding firmly with the Holy Word of God and healings, miracles, signs and wonders are taking place in many cities around the world. Some of the places are Georgia, Missouri, Montana, Texas, New York, California, Ohio, Oregon and Florida. In less than two days they received approximately 450 calls from all over U.S.A.
The awesome situations include people who have receive * Salvation * they never knew about the Lord, but now they know the truth about the only one Jesus !!!
Others have been blessed regarding healing. One of the cases that touched me is about a guy from Georgia who called the prayer line for the return of something stolen from him, but received his eye restored after many years. Another case a lady from Missouri who had a pain in her back for five years then after praying with a student she got healed.
The Lord is doing magnificent things such as delivering people from suicide and depression. Setting them FREE !!! Others speaking in tongues and laughing under the Holy Spirit for the first time. The river of joy has overflow from the people/students from the Call Center toward the persons on the other side of the phones. The Lord is not only the Healer, Provider, Counselor and Protector. He is the source of all and for all…… The Miracles have instant results no matter the place. Lets give the Lord all the glory and praise. Amen. The prayer warriors are waiting for you. The Great Awakening is here !!!-Maria H.

Went out soul winning this morning with the script 2 people got saved, they wanted to. I was giving them out. A group of young PEOPLE walked past and i gave them a script each. One of the young men threw it in the bin right out side …the… pizza shop. 10 minutes later the pizza shop owner got it out of the bin and read it. Many stopped in their tracks to read the script.
As I was leaving a lady was walking past she didn’t want the script so I said “do you KNOW God’s got a wonderful plan for life”. She smiled and said I already got that one at another place it was on my car. She got one of the scripts I have been putting on cars I have been saturating my area. This lady made my day. Call me a baby but i cried all the way home.

Foundation Scriptures:
Psalms 111:9; Jeremiah 31:31-33
He has sent redemption to His people; He has commanded His covenant to be forever; holy is His name, inspiring awe, reverence, and godly fear. Psalms 111:9 AMP
Behold, the days are coming, says the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah, 32 Not according to the covenant which I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt, My covenant which they broke, although I was their Husband, says the Lord. 33 But this is the covenant which I will make with the house of Israel: After those days, says the Lord, I will put My law within them, and on their hearts will I write it; and I will be their God, and they will be My people. Jeremiah 31:31-33 AMP
1. We have a covenant Father. He has made promises that He will never, ever break. Adam
Abraham; Isaac; Jacob (Genesis 15:18; Genesis 17:1-21)
Moses (Exodus 2:24-25; Exodus 6:4-5; Exodus 19:5; Exodus 24:7-8; Exodus 34:27-28;
David etc. through Jesus to us (Psalms 98:3; Isaiah 55:3)
2. The Father loves man so very much—He has chosen to be in relationship with us and interact with us. He makes covenant provision for us and gives us the choice to accept it. He gives us choices and even tells us which is the right and good choice that will bring the blessing.
Noah and the Ark (Genesis 6:18; Genesis 9:9-17)
Abraham and Sodom and Gomorrah (Genesis 18:17-19)
Solomon and wisdom (1 Kings 3:5-14)
3. Come let us reason together.
Come now, and let us reason together, says the Lord. Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they shall be like wool. 19 If you are willing and obedient, you shall eat the good of the land; 20 But if you refuse and rebel, you will be devoured by the sword. For the mouth of the Lord has spoken it. Isaiah 1:18-20 AMP
Jesus came to bridge the gap between God and man —to show us the Father. Colossians 1:20 AMP – And God purposed that through (by the service, the intervention of) Him [the Son] all things should be completely reconciled back to Himself, whether on earth or in heaven, as through Him, [the Father] made peace by means of the blood of His cross.
He sent the Holy Spirit to make us one with Him. 1 John 4:13 AMP – By this we come to know (perceive, recognize, and understand) that we abide (live and remain) in Him and He in us: because He has given (imparted) to us of His [Holy] Spirit. Work out your own contract with God. He is waiting to hear from you.
4. Things you need to know about your Father.
This covenant is sealed in the blood of Jesus. Hebrews 9:12-14 AMP – He went once for all into the [Holy of] Holies [of heaven], not by virtue of the blood of goats and calves [by which to make reconciliation between God and man], but His own blood, having found and secured a complete redemption (an everlasting release for us). 13 For if [the mere] sprinkling of unholy and defiled persons with blood of goats and bulls and with the ashes of a burnt heifer is sufficient for the purification of the body, 14 How much more surely shall the blood of Christ, Who by virtue of [His] eternal Spirit [His own preexistent divine personality] has offered Himself as an unblemished sacrifice to God, purify our consciences from dead works and lifeless observances to serve the [ever] living God?
This covenant cannot fail. Psalms 103:17-18 AMP – But the mercy and loving-kindness of the Lord are from everlasting to everlasting upon those who reverently and worshipfully fear Him, and His righteousness is to children’s children–18 To such as keep His covenant [hearing, receiving, loving, and obeying it] and to those who [earnestly] remember His commandments to do them [imprinting them on their hearts].
This covenant has over 30,000 promises.
This covenant favors you—the recipient—to receive His grace and favor, because of Calvary—the Cross, the Resurrection and Pentecost.
For I will be leaning toward you with favor and regard for you, rendering you fruitful, multiplying you, and establishing and ratifying My covenant with you. Leviticus 26:9 AMP
Now may the God of peace [Who is the Author and the Giver of peace], Who brought again from among the dead our Lord Jesus, that great Shepherd of the sheep, by the blood [that sealed, ratified] the everlasting agreement (covenant, testament), 21 Strengthen (complete, perfect) and make you what you ought to be and equip you with everything good that you may carry out His will; [while He Himself] works in you and accomplishes that which is pleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ (the Messiah); to Whom be the glory forever and ever (to the ages of the ages). Amen (so be it). Hebrews 13:20-21 AMP

If anyone thinks himself to be religious (piously observant of the external duties of his faith) and does not bridle his tongue but deludes his own heart, this person’s religious service is worthless (futile, barren). 27 External religious worship [religion as it is expressed in outward acts] that is pure and unblemished in the sight of God the Father is this: to visit and help and care for the orphans and widows in their affliction and need, and to keep oneself unspotted and uncontaminated from the world. James 1:26-27 AMP
There are many, many people who claim to be “religious” and by that they mean that they believe in God or a god or some kind of higher power. Just because you are religious, or call yourself religious, doesn’t mean that your heart is right with God or even that you are a better person than the next person. There are many religions around the world and yet people still sin and still do bad things to one another. Most “religion” is nothing more than man-made tradition. It is fruitless, useless and powerless. Rather than being religious, we should strive to be godly and to live a godly life, conformed to God’s holy word.
So for the sake of your tradition (the rules handed down by your forefathers), you have set aside the Word of God [depriving it of force and authority and making it of no effect]. 7 You pretenders (hypocrites)! Admirably and truly did Isaiah prophesy of you when he said: 8 These people draw near Me with their mouths and honor Me with their lips, but their hearts hold off and are far away from Me. 9 Uselessly do they worship Me, for they teach as doctrines the commands of men. Matthew 15:6-9 AMP
When people are truly godly, as opposed to merely religious, they:
Are doers of the word
Walk in the love of God
Care about and help others
Keep their hearts right with God – their conscience is clear
Walk in the fruit of the spirit
Do not act like the world – they keep themselves free from sin – unspotted and uncontaminated from the world
Merely religious people display some or all of these traits:
Are not doers of the Word of God
Do not walk in the love of God
Want their own way
Are selfish, self-promoting and self-seeking
Manifest the works of the flesh
Are critical and judgmental
Are covetous, jealous and envious – are not happy when others are blessed
Put on a show – are boastful, arrogant and conceited
Claim to have the only way – believe they are always right
Are angry, hate-filled and even murderous – no natural compassion
Power-hungry and manipulative
Sad, sour, rude and unmannerly
Believe the worst of others
Are impatient and unkind
Are touchy and resentful
Are unforgiving and hold grudges
Are not concerned about injustice
Quench any joy in themselves and others
Cover their sin instead of repenting
Are bound up and seek to put others in bondage
Hate freedom and resent liberty
Religious people are people who don’t realize that God loves them – unconditionally. They don’t feel loved so they can’t love others. They feel judged and so they judge. They need to experience the goodness of God, repent of their bad attitude and be set free.
Religion alone is not a guarantee of heaven, because religion relies on works. Works alone are not enough. Salvation is by faith through grace. Only a personal relationship – with trust and reliance on the Name of Jesus, having believed in your heart, having confessed Him as Lord, having been washed in His blood, having been born again by the Spirit of God – is a guarantee of eternal life. The worst kind of religious person is one who has received Jesus, but either has not let go of old religious ideas, or they try to add to the simplicity of the Gospel with all kinds of man-made traditions.
From the time you receive Jesus, or recommit to Him, you must continually work to renew your mind to His pure, unadulterated word and be conformed to His image. You cannot return to your old life – you cannot start in the Spirit and then go back to the flesh – like a dog returning to its own vomit.
Everyone of us needs to have a regular “check-up”. Not at the doctor, but a heart check-up. We need to make sure that our daily attitude and conduct match up with the Word of God. We must measure our attitude and conduct against the standard of the Word of God and make the adjustments so that we can continue to walk in the freedom and liberty of the Holy Spirit.
Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty! (2 Cor. 3:17)
