I came to The River church last year febuary,and stated RBI in August 2010. Before coming here I had been a believer for almost ten years but had never experinced anything like what I saw in the River. The first was the soul winning script that made easy for me to lead people to the lord something I have struggled with for so long. the greatest day of my life was the RBI revival of 2010.I got touch and laugh like a mad woman , what you have to understand is that before I came here I was a believer but bound Like lazarus when he came out of the grave.I was bound with fear self pity confussion rejection just to name a few.
But August 23rd 2010 something happened that turn my whole life around.Pastor Rodney called me out of the crowd and lay his hands on me and i started laughing, because I had hardly laughed before, my rips started kracking up I laugh for 24 hours.I got home at almost midnight and my land lady was still awake when I walked in she looked at me and screamed and i was wondering what had happened to her so I ask her and she said immediately I walked in she saw light on my fore head and she shouted I have joy and she started laughing before I know she was speaking in tongues ,You have to Understand that my Landlady is a stuanch catholic and will even hardlly luagh I was amazed with what I was seeing but did not have the time to figure it out because I was over whelmmed with joy so we both laugh our heads off till 1 AM.
Then I managed to go to bed but even still I was laughing ,my son immediately woke up and came to me and ask mum do you have joy? I said yes. He asked do you know you have ben praying for this joy for so long ? I said yes. He got up took anionting oil pour it on my head and said Lord I pray this joy thay you have given my mum will never leave her again in Jesus name.I finally went to sleep laughing and the next day I felt like hocking everybody and telling them how much I love them and how Good the Lord is.
It is only when I got to bible school that I understood what happen. The anionting is transfarable. Remember i never touched my landlady she just looked at me and couhgt the joy. My whole life has never been the same since that day and it is what gave me the strenght to go through my first year of RBI.
The RBI Revival for this year was also touching to me because the lord dealt with me internally.He took out so many things in my life and expanded me in my inside which I cannot explain all. I am so Thankfull to Pastor Rodney and Adonica Haword Browne to have seen beyond the natrural eyes of man and granted me a scholarship that has not only added a meaning to my life but has change my whole destinty for eternity…..
