–Radio– –great experience!D –will train some people in the Phillipines to do the same –love the material

I submitted a testimony on the reality of the power of God and its lasting effects, but also want to praise God for the fire of the Holy Spirit that touched me way back on July 18, 1995 in St. Louis, Mo. And it literally has fueled my walk with Jesus and that fire has never decreased, but only increased all these years on into where we are now in March of 2007! When His fire touches you, you just can’t ever be the same ever again! In the meeting, some pastors were testifying, but I began to get lost in the Presence of the Lord until I knew I was in the meeting, but in the Spirit the Lord gave me a vision of the ministry that was to be birthed in my life. I could hear the people in the meeting, but I found myself at a major intersection in my city where if you face on east you are looking towards Belleville, IL where I live and if you turn and look west, that street changes names and you are looking to the city of East St. Louis, IL.

I saw myself in the middle of that intersection facing my city, standing straight up with arms straight out to my sides and palms facing outward (very much like the position of Jesus on the cross). Before me were a large number of people and as I looked, I saw fire flowing out of my mouth and from the palms of my hands into the people and they were swept to the ground; there seemed to be power surging through them from their heads to their feet and back again, over and over. Then they stood up and went everywhere: into schools, workplaces, their churches, homes, etc., and some even to other cities, States and Nations. They had a flame of fire, white hot, over their heads and I didn’t understand ( I was only a few years old in the Lord), so I asked the Lord what that flame was above their heads. Immediately I saw the letters L-O-V-E appear in the flames on them, and knew and understood that this was real Revival fire: a burning, consuming love and passion for Jesus! And wherever these people went, they carried the fire and touched others with it who in turn were ignited with love for Jesus. I turned and faced East St. Louis and the same thing happened there as well. There’s a little more to the vision, but when it was over the fire of God came in my feet, hotter and hotter until I knew if I didn’t do something they were going to burn up! I had to move! I began to work my way down to the front, which took some time (there were around 8,000 in the meeting) and for some reason no ushers or security stopped me.

There was a large area around the platform, and the fire was so hot now that I began to run in long circles around the auditorium shouting, “Fire!” over and over again. Little did I know, but several others had the fire in their feet as well and had made their way down at the same time, so we all began to run together shouting about the fire of God! I recall Pastor Rodney saying for us all to run in the same direction, “that all things may be done decently and in order”. When we stopped, we all fell under the power and just laid there, and I don’t recall for sure if it was Brother Rodney or another minister who prophesied that those who were running that night, the Lord was going to send to the nations to run with the fire of God. That was July of 1995; seven days before in a meeting the Lord both healed me of asthma and called me to the ministry. Then this vision and touch of the fire, followed by the Lord speaking to me the next day in the meeting about the mighty revival coming to the St. Louis Metro-East area. That vision and touch of fire has fueled my walk with God, my witnessing and lay ministry I did from then until March of 2006 when I was ordained. The Lord was building a strong foundation in me all these years, but the fire has always been there to touch people who are hungry for Him.

I close my testimony with this: I asked the Lord later why I didn’t see as many people touched, really touched and ignited by the fire the way my heart longed to see. And He brought me back to the significance of the position I saw myself in in the vision, standing with arms outstretched to my sides, the way Jesus hung on the cross. And He told me as clear as anything that I would only see the fire flow in great measure when I was in the place Paul spoke of in Galatians 2:20, counting myself crucified with Christ and that it was not I who lives but Christ living in (and through) me; dead to self and sin, but alive to God and the Spirit. The fire that fell in the early church, is the same fire that has fallen on all who have hungered for it down through history; it’s the same fire that you hear Brother Rodney talk about that fell on him when he was 18 years old and so hungry for the fire that he told the Lord, “Either you come down and touch me with your fire or I’m going to die and come up there and touch you.” That was the cry of his heart and the Lord met him. It’s the same fire that fell on me and has not waned over more than a decade, but has increased more and more, and now the Lord is opening many doors for me, and the time has come that I am watching that vision from 1995 begin to come to pass here in my city and this area. The fire has been burning in me, purifying my heart and life, and cooking up a ministry over all these years that isn’t a microwave ministry, but one that is oven-baked like a good home cooked dinner that has so much more taste and substance than a frozen dinner that takes 3 minutes and it’s ready. So catch this from my testimony: The fire of God is real; it lasts; if you keep it stirred up yourself, it will change the course of your life forever, but you must not only enjoy the passion it brings. Allow it to burn out of you all that is contrary to the Word of God and all that is not pleasing to the Spirit of God, and may your highest and greatest goal be to let it consume everything until there’s nothing left of you for the world to see, but Jesus. To God be the glory! Rev. Bryan E. A, Anointed Love Ministries, Belleville, IL

1st time out–out of 17 people–6 were saved–only 4 rejected–+6 asked Christ into heart–Ray Park area–thank you + were very happy! 17 years old–1st time witnessing 9 out of 20 people got saved. He saw people’s countenance change and they became happy after the prayed. He just read the script–it was a lot easier with the script. He was very appreciative of his team leader–Sue–who helped him to step out–he felt very encouraged

My wife and I along with our 4 children attended that service that night. We were expecting a touch from God. He didn’t disappoint us! I was jolted really good that night, drove back 4 hours to home that night drunker than a skunk! You see, something that night happened but didn’t know what it was, but something that the Lord was going to do. The next week I was watching Jester Franklin on TV and he was teaching on fasting. Very good teaching on the subject. The Holy Spirit began to deal with me on that, and Im not talking about a 2 or 3 day fast, but a 20 or 30 day fast. I promised the Lord I would began a fast to seek him and only Him after I felt better. You see, I wasn’t feeling very good. Kind of the Flu bug. So on December 6 2006, I went home from work, after working for 1 hr that day. I began to vomit every 10 to 15 minutes, with that was extreme pain in my stomach area.

I did that for 4 hours straight without any relief and the pain intensified every time I vomited. My wife took to the ER and they discovered I had a Gallstone that was lodged in a duct, and it required surgery. The doctor wouldn’t put me in surgery until Saturday and this was on a Wednesday, because my kidneys would shut down on the operating table. So I laid in the hospital for 3 days in great pain. It was supposed to be a normal routine gallbladder surgery, instead it became a old routine surgery. That means the old fashioned cut from the chest to belly button. The doctor got in there and discovered I developed Parities. That gallstone blocked everything which backed up all that poison on my liver, pancreas and etc. I stayed in the ICU for 7 days, with a 50 50 shot of making it. Doctor left my stomach open for 3 days to get that infection out, and then another surgery to close me up. I was supposed to stay in the hospital for 6 weeks, but I got out of there in 2. I left the hospital with a feeding tube inserted in my small intestine and a drain tube inserted in my stomach. I got to be home for Christmas!!!!

I finally ate my first meal on January 3 2007, a full month without eating anything!!!! The feeding and drain tubes came out on the 17th that month and went back to work on February 12th. What Im trying to get around to is this. Without that touch I received in November, I believe I wasn’t going to live trough that ordeal. Im at a age of 35 years, healthy, but would have died without a healing touch from Jesus!! And for the fasting story, Didn’t eat anything for 30 days and I fasted and kept my promise somehow. Lost 40 lbs., which I needed to lose, but not recommended the way I did it!!! My wife and I watched God move in front of our eyes. My boss had a check for me every week, and he played me over a 40 hour work week. Local churches including ours gave us money, food, Christmas gifts for the kids and many other things. Family and friends visited and was reunited with one of my closest friend. I have insurance with a 2500 hundred deductible. Every hospital bill is paid in full, with the money given to us. God supplied every penny!!! Not only these gifts, but peoples lives were changed in my community of 7000 people trough this ordeal. The bottom line is this. Jesus loves us, but what’s sad is we don’t love him enough. He has called me to preach the gospel, save the lost, because HE IS COMING!!!!! And that’s what im going to do. I have fallen in Love with JESUS all over again. I had to share this testimony because it started with you Pastor Rodney. May God bless you and your entire family. God Bless, Bryan and Kari Haynes.

16 years old–Monday she went out witnessing for the first time with Holly–8 out of 9 people got saved she prayed with 20-year-old man and God touched him–he almost started crying

What can I say, but that when I walked into that church on Tuesday with my good friend Tim Gidley, I never expected what was about to follow. I had seen Pastor Rodney on TV once before a number of years ago when he imparted to Oral and Richard Roberts the anointing of joy, but thought it was some sort of fad or hoax. Never thought much about it since. The past six years have been a roller coaster ride of good and horrible. Religion just about killed me. I could not take another minute in another church with another stinking sermon on how to try to live my life according to someone else’s rules. The way they felt I should look or behave. The type of work that I should be performing, or the type of “ministry” I should perform for them. So needles to say , the only reason I came was for my friend Tim. I had owned a restaurant back in Memphis Tn., and a Limo service.

The restaurant at the beginning did very well until 9/11 when no one wanted to go out at night due to fear. My business began to fail. One morning on my way to work the neighbor lady was banging on my front door yelling fire. I thought their home was on fire , so I ran out of the house to find my limo burning to the ground in my driveway. In one fell swoop within a few months, we lost both companies. We had to sell our home to get out from under the payments. Then the very worst happened and after moving to Florida my wife lost her job. We were living now on one tenth of what we were previously making, although we still had the bills pilling up. We had to declare bankruptcy. A few months later the I.R.S. put a lein on our finances due to unpaid back taxes in the amount of sixty thousand dollars. We could not pay this. The interest and penalties started to pile up.I had a nervous breakdown at this point and got fired from my position as a chef at a hotel. So from 2003 to 2007 I have not been able to work and have been in severe depression.

My wife was finally able to gain a position here in Jax. so we moved here. I have been going to therapist and shrinks for almost 3 years now and no relief. On the verge of suicide and smoking weed every day. Plus all the pills the docs have been feeding me. But suddenly!!!!!!Without warning!!!! JESUS found me and loved me. He used a man who just walks around speaks the word and spreads joy wherever he goes. How can this be , I asked myself. Never experienced anything like this in my life. When Jesus touched me that first night and the next , and the next, and the next heee heee haaa haa, it was like being plugged into a million volts of electricity. My body vibtated for days. I could not stop if I wanted to. The greatest thrill was to have the privilege to go out with the ministry team, and witness in our inner city here in Jax, and help lead 5 people to the Lord. Yeah right on the street. Wow, how cool is that, and I just turned 50 this year. I thought my life was over. Thank God He is not done yet. To Pastor Rodney and the team, my sincere thanks and gratitude will never be enough. My life was not only changed, but literally saved. I wanted to die, and was looking for a way to do it. Thank you for coming to Jax, and lighting this fire, fore it will never burn out. It will continue to burn, set more fires, and fight the battle against religion, and it’s destructive forces. The praises of God will be uopn my lips and the new found joy will always be in my heart. Hope to see you all soon. Your new partner in Christ(The Anointing)

There were two different ladies one only worship outreach and the other was a Christian Scientist. The Good News is that they both heard the gospel preached, and they both made an open confession of salvation with thier mouths out loud! Glory to God!

14 months I was saved from homosexuality. In 1994 I decided that instead of being married I would divorce my family and live as a homosexual. God has helped me to do a complete 180 and now all I want to do is serve Him. My thoughts are now on Jesus and what I can do for Him. Many people including Christian’s believe that once a homosexual always a homosexual. I’ve got news for you, their wrong! My God can do anything and during your Revival in Jacksonville, FL God gave me a desire to do greater exploits than He did while on this earth. Up until this point very few Christian’s knew about my past, but I must shout out the good news that the bondage of homosexuality can be lifted by God. I am free, thank God I am free. HALLELUIA. It’s ALL about HIM, Greg H

I attended the meeting last week and went out witnessing on the streets in downtown Jacksonville and was totally transformed! My daughter is a senior at a public high school with 3000 students that she describes as hell. I am taking her and several of her other on fire Christian friends out witnessing this Tuesday(at our local Wal-mart!)so that we can not only win lost souls, but also so that they can become on fire for the lost! I made copies from your web site of the soul-winning script for my daughter and her friends. The end result is that they will go back and canvas their school to save the lost! What an awesome gift to leave their school! Please pray for an outpouring of the Holy Spirit at Mandarin High! They only have 2 weeks! Thank you so much for coming to Jacksonville!ps:Jake was an AWESOME team leader!

I met about 30 people today 2 people actually stood at. A woman was watching TV, and I asked her If I could interupt her TV time to pray with her. She said she was glad I came as I read the script. I prayed and she accepted prayer. She told me she has three children and they don’t visit her but she always pray for her, and I assured her that God would never leave her.

My son, Stewart and I were blessed to be able to attuned the Friday night Great Awakening tour in Greensboro. We stayed for the whole service. I was so blessed to hear Rodney pour out his heart for the souls that are created for God’s good pleasure to come to CHRIST. My son has been born again since he was 3 years old. On Christmas eve, of 2006, he was healed, delivered and set free in CHRIST. During the service, he went down front and recommitted his life to CHRIST. On Saturday, we were blessed to be able to go thru the soul winning class. Then we went to Kmart parking lot in Greensboro and the LORD truly blessed!!! Stewart and one of the girls with us, Khadi, were so bold in the LORD. Khadi led 12 souls to JESUS, Stewart led 17. I don’t know how many our group actually led to JESUS, but the script made it so easy. And The LORD, HE was just awesome. Watching what he did thru these young lives was such a blessing, I know I will never be the same. We had one customer go back inside and tell the manager, who came out to tell us to leave. Our group leader lead him to JESUS by the power of the HOLY SPIRIT and using the scrip. I know I will never be the same. And now I hope the LORD will open the doors so that we can continue witnessing for HIM. To GOD be all the glory!!! And Thanks be to GOD that Pastor Rodney is pouring out his and the Lord’s heart to compel the lost to come unto the LORD. We need more Pastors to stand up and do the same, and more people who say they are Christians to go and do the greater works that JESUS did and compel the lost to come to HIM!!!

Saved 23 years. Today was my first time I went out to take the Good News. I spoke to this gentleman who told me he was going for sure to hell, but thank God he end up asking the Lord to come into his life. I sopke to six persons and five asked the Lord to come into their hearts. Glory to God!!! She just read the script and people got saved.

My friend, my brother, four small children and I drove to the Great Awakening tour in Greensboro from Knoxville,TN. We were definitely hungry, we had been looking forward to this meeting for months. The week flew by, Friday night, Pastor Rodney prayed for the fire of God to fall on the people, Nothing happened to us, or so it seemed. We decided to leave for Tennessee that night since we were wide awake and the kids would be sure to sleep through the night, it would be easier. Halfway through, my friend pulled over at a rest stop, got out and was sweating, shaking, crying, glowing. She said she had been in another world and had something to tell us. She put her hands on my brother and I and the power hit us immediately.

She prophesied that my brother would bring the gospel not only to the U.S., but to nations, and that his son would do even more than him. That The Lord’s hand is upon him, That we both will have a great impact on lots of lives, and my whole family will be saved. (My other brother is an atheist) We all went home with the power of God all over us, I’ve never felt like this before, but I know I’ll never be the same. This conference has truly changed our lives. Now we’re taking the fire we got to our church, and Tennessee will be awakened! Praise God!

First time doing one on one soul witnesing. At first was afraid but prayed for the Holy Spirit to break fear and he did. Led four people to the Lord. One man, she says, actual physical countenance changes. He looked at peace after the prayed the prayer (feltt a boldness come on her – no fear. The second man that said the prayer had been saved four years. The first man and his countance change to peaceful- calm. This experience changed me totally. “I went out there to change people, but God totally changed me.”

On the 18th f april in Greensboro at the great awakening tour, my wife and i redecorated our lives to CHRIST. after the service which i must say was such a blessing. we talked about it all the way home.. i had to take a friend to the VA hospital in Salisbury for surgery. since they did not have him in the computer. and he had to wait i decided to go and visit some vets in the hospital. i had never done this before and being a retired army i thought that what pastor Rodney said about winning souls would be a good start. I got permission from the nurse at the front desk. some said i could not go because things had been taken from rooms when people visited. i told them that i was retired and wanted to go and see how they were doing. they said o.k. went in one room and as i talked the man said that had it not been for GOD he would not be here today…as i left i told him that i would keep him in my prayers and GOD BLESS.

I went to another room and a young man that was a gulf war vet had almost lost his leg because he was a diabetic asked him if he died today where would ha go and he said to hell. i told him that he did not have to go to hell. JESUS died on the cross for his sins. you could tell that it was getting to him. the nurse came in and then the phone rang. he told me that he respected what i believed in but he did not want to ask JESUS to come into his life. I told him i would like to ask if it was ok that i pray for him when i prayed that night he said octet seed was planted.. i went to another room. a young man had a hip replacement and as we begin to talk i told him how GOD had delivered me and how i came to love him and asked him if he died today where would he go and he said to hell. i told him that JESUS died on the cross for his sins. could i pray for him and he let JESUS forgive him of his sins and come into his heart. he said ok. i told him to bow his head and, he repeated the prayer…and GOD forgave him…i asked that we keep in touch and gave him my # and address…because of the privacy laws and it was a versants hospital. his name is Paul and the ANGELS IN HEAVEN REJOYED WHEN ONE SINNER COMES TO CHRIST..
