Soul winning never use to be something that I had placed number on in my life. Like a lot of Christians I had just put it on the back burner because I thought that God would use someone else. I never thought that I need to do it even though I felt I was called to be a minister.

This year has been life changing for me though. I have a whole new outlook on the matter. I love people more and I can see the change in them and in myself. The Super soul winning Saturday before Easter I went out on the street with the church. I thought I would just get to see people get saved like normal.

But, this was something different. I went to the soul winning class and something happen. I felt an urgent feel to go and tell people. I saw these three guys and I just felt like I had to tell them about Christ. So, I stopped the guys and told them the gospel. They took it in then it got time for the prayer.

You could see that one guy meant it with his entire being. After seeing that I wanted and had to tell more people about Christ and his amazing love. I think that has really been something that soul winning has done for me. It has open my eyes to how much God loves me to use me in the way he does.

That same day someone got feel with the Holy Spirit and the group I was with couldn’t stop talking about it. It was a fire burning within us. It was something we were giving out. I have always stood on Psalms 2:8 in which it says, “Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession.” It is not just talking about when I get a ministry it’s talking about now and today!

This week of classes in Matters of the heart opened my eyes to a new level of my relationship with God, others and myself. I could finally realize the importance of my heart and its purpose in my life.

I need to love God with everything that is in me. My heart controls both my body and it is the center of my being, who I am. It is the center of my spiritual life and human body. Everything within me needs to love God.

When I look into my heart I need to see to the attitude of it. The attitude to everything around me: God, others and myself, all of these are connected with each other. The attitude of my heart determines my life and destiny. We have two commandments “to love God and to love your neighbor as yourself”, and that needs to be my attitude. To always walk in love and my attitude of walking in love must be according to the love of God – unconditional.

The matters of my heart starts with me. I need to have a heart for myself and sort out all the junk that I have in it to get a new Godly heart. I have to start with loving myself with the love of God and then carry on with loving others. If I don’t love myself I can’t fulfill anything of what God has called me to do because I haven’t understood his first commandment. God can’t use me if my heart is not right. I need to take responsibility for my heart and put effort to get it right. I must let the word of God transform my heart, to a heart that he can freely use to reach others.

Everything that has to do with my life and my being comes down to the matters of my heart – for my life starts in my heart. (Pro 4:23)

I want to fulfill Gods plan with my life by having a pure and strong heart. I want God to be able to say that I was a woman after his own heart!

As usual, there are a lot of things that needs to be done during a conference (ministers conference, winter camp meeting etc) and this week I was assigned to help out in some way in every service except from one. I either did worship, seating, café or RBI table and thought that it would be a busy week but still hoped that I could receive as much as possible from God and stay focused on what He wanted to do in and through me.

But even if my expectancy was high, God still topped my expectations once again! It is amazing how God can take you to places and situations you never thought you would visit and how He constantly can meet you in a new way.

During the whole week God spoke to me about His great plans for me, and that I must believe more in myself. I can do all things through Christ, who strengthen me. God spoke to me about that I am not just a servant that He wants to throw around and be a Big Boss to, but that I first and foremost am his beloved, precious daughter that He just wants to stay close to and love – and after that, I can spread that love forward to others. I just felt like God confirmed how much He loves me and that He is proud over me and what I am doing for His kingdom – how I am affecting other people. After Camp Meeting, I just felt so encouraged to keep on living for God in EVERYTHING I DO. Nothing else matters!

And then on one of the services when Pastor Rodney was called up all the international people and were praying for our nations, God once again reminded me of the dream I have in my heart to go back to Sweden and bring this fire and joy that I have experienced here! When I heard all the preaching about God’s fire on Winter Camp Meeting, I really felt that this is what Sweden need! I’ve known that for a long time, but as I said, the dream got reborn!

Winter Camp Meeting was a celebration of 30 years in ministry for Pastors Rodney and Adonica Howard-Browne. This was very different from the last camp meeting. I learn that when you commit your life to God and doing his will he will keep you. There are going to be tough times but if you keep your eyes on Him he will bring you through. This was a celebration of God’s grace on the lives of two people who made a life commitment to serve and worship God no matter what came their way. I am a fairly new member at the River and I’ve heard many of Pastors Rodney and Adonicia’s testimonies of the rough times and the good times but in all they kept their eyes on the prize, Jesus Christ. How they came to America with three young children and vey little money, totally dependent on God. God honored their faith and obedience to Him when he said go. Thirty years later they are still living for God and honoring Him with their lives. I saw the greetings and well wishes they received from other ministries around the world and there was one common theme. How they kept God as their main focus and were steadfast in their commitment to Him. Today the power and anointing of God is still strong and operating in their lives. That is something we do not see very much of in the ministry today. This is something relegated to the great men and women of God like Katherine Kulhman and Lester Sumrall But God is no respecter of person. If you stay committed to Him he will be committed to you. I learn more than anything to be faithful to God and to stay committed and connected to Him always and I too can one day celebrate many years in the ministry.

Him if he were Jewish. He was, when I told him the Torah says all man have sinned, he really agreed with that. I told him I was very honored to bring him good news because Jesus said for us to go to the Jew first. I remembered that it is Passover week and told him how the blood of sacrifice pointed to Jesus the Messiah. He said that was the first time he had ever heard that. He let me led him in the prayer to receive Jesus.

Our marriage was healed during the “marriage” meeting. We received it by faith. We had terrible trouble communicating and had cried out for years to the Lord for help. Nothing happened at that time. The next morning we were praying in the spirit for our marriage. We went deeper with our forgiveness for each other. Still nothing changed, until we “re-consummated” our marriage! That stronghold was broken off. We have been healed and our marriage is being restored. Valentine’s Day was amazing! Praise God! Thank you Pastors Rodney and Adonica!

I was watching TV and they had a revival going on so I watched it the last two nights this was about two weeks ago. I had sent in a prayer request over internet. And then our son asked us to babysit our grandkids as they had to go out of state. We where in the car going to check on our house and dog. The grandkids just out of the clear blue sky starting asking all kind of questions about Jesus and what kids at school had been telling them about Jesus. So we I started telling them about Jesus and something they were told where not true and they ask if their mom and dad where saved and I told them I did not know. So they ask if we would talk to them about being saved. So I ask them if they wanted me to lead them in a sinner’s prayer to bring Jesus into their lives and that Jesus would reveal how real He was to them. I just couldn’t believe that I got to lead my own grandchildren to Jesus what a blessing and they are twelve, thirteen, and sixteen. So now we are going to see if they would like to be baptized this coming Sunday and go find a church near them that believes in the book of Acts today like pastor said. I always felt that I was called to the office of evangelist but it is hard in a lot of churches for women to hold a office. I am just soooooo grateful to God for the eternal lives for my grandchildren and I know they will always be in the hands of God all thru their lives. Thank you so much for the prayers. The revival was sooooo wonderful and the Spirit of God so strong and even watching it from TV. I do hope to visit one of the tour if it comes close to Oklahoma. Thank you and God bless Pastor and family and all of you.

Dear Rodney Howard-Browne,
Thank you so much for praying for me and my family. I wished and prayed to know Christ better and find people who would help me in doing so. It’s really amazing that I’ve found not one but two girls who are devoted to Christ. Praise the Lord because in a country dominated by Hindus it’s difficult to find people who are devoted to serve Christ. I’m really happy and I want to thank God to have lead me to your site. God Bless You
