Dear Rodney, you came to Adelaide South Australia many years ago amidst a storm of criticism and controversy that followed you from Toronto Canada.  Being an Evangelist myself, and coming from a Baptist traditional background I was not only skeptical of your testimony but so incensed at your ministry of laughing in the Spirit and slaying others in the Spirit, that I would not even attend your services because I was convinced I would be open to receiving evil spirits.  I prayed vigorously that the Lord would get you out of our country as quickly as possible. I absolutely despised you.  How wrong I was! In the years following your ministry here I have opened up myself to the ministry of the Holy Spirit, and he has not only filled me and given me a dependence on his leading, but has showed me how wrong I was about you and others who have been ministering in the Spirit for so many years. I now thank God for you, ever since I watched one of your evangelistic Revival meetings on a US Christian TV station.  As you spoke the anointing of the Holy Spirit fell heavily upon me.  Such A deep, sweet anointing that totally filled and overwhelmed me, saturated me. I could now see how powerful your ministry in Revival will be to all who open their hearts to receiving the fullness of the Holy Spirit.  Rodney, ten years ago the Holy Spirit revealed to me in a supernatural way where Revival will break out in Australia.  I wont recall it now, but I do have it written down, and if you want me to send it to you, please reply and tell me.  I do ask you to forgive me for my hypocrisy and the satanic attitude that I once fostered.  Please be assured of my prayers and praises as you preach throughout this world.  I would like to have the pleasure of meeting with you when I next travel to the USA, if that is possible.  Bye for now,  God bless you.

What did I experience during camp meeting on a personal level that made me excited? I experienced a lot of spiritual renewal for souls, and spreading revival. The lord had explained the second part of my vision for coming down to the river. The Lord also, gave me the next instructions for the next step for my ministry, and that happened Sunday morning service.

The promise of this generation was received for me personal to carry revival by any means necessary, especially in my private walk with the Lord Jesus, himself. I know the lord is urging, and a new since of urgency was imparted to my sprit, and holiness and integrity to last to the end until the lord calls me home.

I know in the process of pressing in harder to the lord, I will get a deeper desire for souls in general. The Lord renewed and breathed on my vision, so I could see what is coming down the road for my ministry. For example, I had to know the timing in which things were to take place shortly. The lord even spoke to my wife the same morning and that was in itself confirmation, and brought great relief. The amazing part is that I received more from the Lord and not one single person laid hands on me.  The second part of my vision was to arise! Which means go!

Before coming to RBI, I was afraid of telling people about Jesus. In my heart I wanted to do that, but just could not do it. When I heard about this ministry and RBI, that it focuses on souls and bringing the gospel to the people, I knew immediately that this is exactly what I need and what I feel in my heart God has called me to do. When the first soul winning took place, I was following other people how they do it, but was still in the bondage of fear to do it my self. The second time I decided to just knock on the door, open my mouth and read the script even though I felt totally incapable of doing it. I had to take the step, no matter what. And, to my surprise, that person behind the door did not reject me or the gospel, but received it and prayed the salvation prayer with me! Praise the Lord!

After that first one, I got SO excited and a huge joy came to my heart. I knew that now I’m in the center of what God has called me to do. That night, during a very short time I had won 6 people to the Lord and hardly could wait for the next time to come! I felt like it says in that song, to be “free to run” for the Lord. After that, every time has been exciting and different. Sometimes I’ve found myself being too confident on my own abilities, and got nobody saved. Sometimes I’ve felt totally incapable in the beginning, and after taking the first step and asking Holy Spirit to help me, have had the best harvest ever. So, it’s been a huge learning process and definitely the best thing that has happened to me during this time.

Now, during this time in RBI, I’ve lead about 200 people to the Lord and to me, it is a total miracle of God when I consider the way I was before. It is awesome to be a vessel for God and feel the power of the Holy Spirit that flows when preaching the gospel. I started soul winning in my home church back in Finland during our time there in December and got a couple of people mobilized. I’m looking forward to continue that there after RBI and get more members of church activated in soul winning and rejoicing in seeing the harvest coming in!

It was not until the first time I went soul wining that I truly understood how much our country needed revival, and even thou I was more than capable of killing my flesh enough to go out, I still tried as hard as I could to avoid actually talking to people but eventually conviction caught up with me to the point where I could not just stand there and see someone without making sure they heard the gospel myself, I don’t want God to say to me that I had them in front of me and I did not tell them, no not anymore, going for as many souls as I, I am trying to bring as many souls I can with me to heaven no holds bars, can I realize that when people say no its not to me but to God and same when they are saying yes.

Seeing the people come into the Kingdome makes all it worth it, watching the same people that I talk to on the streets show up to church on Sunday morning seeing people healed and watching them go out and preach the gospel like they heard it , going to the alter call and getting touched, It makes me feel like I am succeeding on a frontline mission that God himself has ordered me to execute, the plan my friends is to plunder hell concerning souls, take everything and give nothing back, after all it’s the very least one can do for what was done for us on that cross.

I chilling all believers to go to revival.com grab a script or two go out and spread the gospel In your community and see the harvest come, see your communities change, and turn the area around you upside-down for the Kingdome of God.

For a very long time throughout my Christian walk, I really struggled with my purpose and what God wanted me to do. I knew there was a plan for my existence, but I didn’t know what. When I came in contact with Revival Ministries Int’l and Pastors Rodney and Adonica, my life changed

The first time I lead someone to Jesus, I felt like I had just won one million dollars! I was so excited! I was nervous, but I did it! As time went on, something clicked on the inside, that I may be the only “Jesus” the world may ever know. Jesus has touched my life. He has saved me and others need to know!

Soul winning helps to keep my fire burning. When I am having a not so good day, I will lead someone to Jesus and feel 100% better. It is such an awesome feeling. There are times when I may get nervous, but I know it has to be done. Soul winning has shown me that God is not waiting on a title in front of my name, but is looking at my heart that is willing to pour His love out on people!

Soul winning has truly become a lifestyle for me. I’m not declaring to be perfect in this matter, but I do know that God used ordinary people like me to change nations. When I’m out soul winning, I see smiles of joy, people’s countenances change, and tears in their eyes, or how they reach out for hug and it melts my heart! This is what our Christian walk is all about…the lives of others!

Soul winning has forced me to step out of my comfort zone and walk into what God has called me to do “Go ye into the entire world and preach the Gospel.”

Last week, I went to get some Duncan Donuts. I was driving to go home that day. I parked my car in the drive way, and opened my door. I looked up and there was a man fixing the roof next door. I said Hello! Would you like a donut? He said “Yes”. He came down from the roof and picked up a donut. While he was there eating his donut, I asked him “Has anyone ever told you that God loves you and that He has a wonderful plan for your life? He said “No”. I asked him another question, “If you were to die this very second, do you know for sure, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that you would go to Heaven? He said “No” because there’s nothing in heaven, we are going to be on the earth.

I proceed sharing with him what the Bible reads. He didn’t want to hear it. He said I know all that but there is nothing in heaven. He started to question me, “Saying why someone would want to go to heaven if there’s nothing there, we are going to die on the earth. I started to share with him what I’ve learned in class.

As the Lord was speaking through me, I believe that the Lord was opening the man’s heart. I asked him would you like heaven to be your home when you die. His answer was “Yes”. Let me share with you what the Holy Bible reads. I proceeded with the script. He repeated the prayer and got saved. I said to him now you know for sure that you have a home in Heaven when you died. His response was “Yes” I know, and I know that he is Alive! He left with his eyes watery and face was changed.

I have led many people to the Lord, but these past months it has been different. I’m able to listen more and agree with people in prayer depending on their situations. Sharing with them what I’ve learned in class, is becoming more real to me that there’s a place called heaven that is our home.

As Christians it is our duty to take the gospel and share it with those we come in contact with. According to the great commission Jesus says in Mark 16:15 “And he said unto them, go ye into the entire world, and preach the gospel to every creature.” We ought to be soul winners because Jesus Himself was a soul winner. As Christians we should strive to follow in the footsteps of our Lord and savior Jesus Christ. Mark 1:17 tells us “And Jesus said unto them, Come ye after me, and I will make you to become fishers of men.”

As we begin to exercise the great commission we produce fruit by winning people to the Lord. Acts 11:21 confirms “And the hand of the Lord was with them, and a great number believed, and turned unto the Lord.” When we share the gospel it is inevitable that people will be saved and the hearts of people become touched and changed. When you go into a lost and dying world the wonder working power of the gospel is seen and healings are seen, it builds you up in your faith and makes the gospel that much more real to you. When you do the work of the kingdom and begin to seek God to reach people through soul winning the Holy Ghost empowers you. According to Acts 1:8 “But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.”

As children of God, the born again believer we are witnesses and examples for the world to see the very character of Christ. Our conduct as Christians is a witness to the unbeliever as to who Jesus is. When we go soul winning people will be drawn to Christ because of who they see Jesus is in you. Therefore it is important to always teach and lead by example. Matthew 28:19 says “Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.” When you teach people the gospel and you are passionate you carry the presence of Jesus Christ with you. In praying for people I become excited about the work God is doing because of the overflow of the work the Lord has done in me.

Because He has carried me, strengthened me, and healed me. When ministering to people they pick up on that and they are instantly drawn to that and they desire to dedicate their lives to Christ. We must be zealous in our efforts and approach people with confidence because of the gift we carry that is so precious. Romans 1:16 “For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.” When we share the gospel openly it sets us free and edifies our faith as people turn to the Lord and you are able to impact their lives for eternity.

Sunday, December 13th, I got to church at 8am. I was surprised to see that so many helpers had gotten to the church at 6 and 7am, ready to serve. I worked security in the kid’s church. I was very amused watching 2 kids dance and compete for the bike give-a-way. One kid was doing a worm dance and the other was spinning on his head. There were hundreds of children packed out in the place and dozens of Hispanic children for the day of our advertised Spanish toy outreach. The day really ministered to me that what we were doing and all of our work was so real to the children. When the children were coming into the door to children’s church, they were solemn, shy and emotionless. After the service and the packed out altar call, I noticed that the children were lit up and on fire. They were showing so much more love to one another and had so much more energy. They were high-fiving me on the way out the door and there were special glows in their faces, as they were lit with enthusiasm and peace. I was also able to help in moving tables over at the Food Ministry and also using the forklift to move the remaining toys inside. I even got to dance to Latino music outside of the bus ministry and maintain the energy and excitement of all of our kids and parents. The love of God and the goodness of God is so real. And the power of God overcomes and breaks all strongholds. I am a living testimony of that. And I see it every Sunday at the River. The church preaches the Word of the Living God and demonstrates the love and the goodness of God week after week. I am privileged to be a part of this ministry and to see the power of God fall in every service and do miracles. December 20th is surely going to be another great harvest for the River family. I look forward to all the Lord is going to do.

Went out with Sue to Harbor Lights–god had given me (#8) & God used me to say the prayer of salvation to 9 people! My son led two people to the Lord & later thanked me for making him do this–he realized how fulfilling it was. It was awesome! He was encouraged & even invited one to play basketball @ church on Sunday–they were in the elevator.

I went out soul-winning today. At first I was really discouraged because a lot of people rejected the Gospel. Outside of a gas staion, there was a girl about 20 years old. I read the script to her and she accepted Jesus into her heart. She was sitting in her car while I ministered to her. After I was done, she got out of her car and hugged me. It was awesome. I really felt like she meant it. It really touched my heart. My soul-goal was seven; I brought nine to the Lord. This was my first time soul-winning and I am 15 years old.
