We are to write about theworkings of the Holy Spirit in our lives during the meetings .But first you have to know where I’m coming from. I was bound by depression, anger just totally disappointed with life. I had buried both parents before I was out of my teens. Had many failed relationships. Lived a life of drug addiction. Run over twice by a car, left for dead both times. Had a botched abortion. Leave the clinic because I was not allowed to die there. I turned to heroine.
Even after I was born again the feelings of being forsaken never left me. I met a man when I was in the military, after two years of marriage he left me in a hotel with a 18 month old baby in Frankfort , Germany. I was numb and said ;no more. Speed up seven years later. I was going down the highway and heard a voice over the airways in Ft Worth Texas. I had been crying out to God saying ; where is the power God.? Its missing in the church .My present husband and I were pasturing a small church that was so dead the roaches even left. I was ready to cash my chips in. So what has the Great Awakening done for me. The Power of God has Awakened the dead. Me. I literally owe my life to revival, there is no other way so say it. Forever eternally grateful. The song I sing come straight from the heart. The Fire of God has burned out hate and sorrow. Rodney Howard-Brown said God has given me beauty for ashes. The oil of joy for mourning, and the Garment of praise for the Spirit of heaviness. The Lord be Glorified Forever…….-Dollean M.
Colon was so close to heaven didn’t want to come home……awakened to see each and every believer as so special to Jesus. His love for each one of us…Bless ya’ll so much!

Christians and churches have been trying to come up with ways to reach the lost in the 21st century. What’s going to change the world? Is it the gospel packaged in socialism?
Since watching your program this year it feels like everything has gone up another dimension. Started praying in an unknown language I knew I was touching heaven, just felt tremendous power. You could say I was caught up in heaven. I’m not trying to get mystical when I say this but everything was very bright around me, and I knew God was going to down load a message to me.
God gave me a message of how to reach the world in the 21st century. God gave me these words “JESUS IS THE ANSWER FOR THE WORLD TODAY”. I started weeping because the message is simple; all I need to do is tell people about my best friend. He is still the answer.
God has helped me to see that the purpose for provision is to win the lost. It is all about establishing the kingdom of God on this earth not establish a kingdom on Earth for the glory of man. It is not about me. It is about Jesus, the pearl of great price. We must put his will and plan as first place in order to know how to give and what to give. We have been given power to proclaim the truth and establish God’s kingdom on Earth. God does not give us the anointing so we can do parlor tricks and sell things to people to get rich.
I repent from being “Castle minded”. For some this may not be much of a miracle. For me, it is everything. I must decrease and Jesus must increase. Worldly possessions are nothing. Jesus is everything. Capitalism can pollute the gospel. Being prosperous for prosperity’s sake is vanity and pride. We cannot truly be trusted with the treasures from heaven if we allow the treasures of Earth to manipulate our mind and prevent us from giving.
Last night of the meeting we were given an opportunity to sow a seed for what we believed God for. In the past I would sow a seed I would request something for my family or something for me. For the first time I was able to get my mind off my castle and sow to the purposes of the kingdom. Thank God for the word of truth that gives perseverance, faith, and spiritual might. Also according toI cannot buy it nor would I want to. I thank God for His mercy and ability to carry me through every trial, free me from every law, and provide miracles of provision to do great things for God.
This week I had the privilege of going to the first Armwood High School youth Bible study early in the morning before school started at 7:00 AM. As I was driving to school I began praying and worshipping the Lord and my heart began to break…God reminded me of my days in high school and what it felt like to see so many lost teenagers with blank expressions, eyes filled with tears ready to burst out any second because of home life problems, relationships, abuse, and minds tired of looking for the truth and not finding it; bodies limp because they were tired of not caring and wondering what they are doing with their lives, and stressed out beyond the limit from the pressures and influences of society and the media. I went back to the memories from 6 years ago and then I arrived at Armwood…
I walked into the halls and saw the seemingly un-endless sea of students coming and going, hanging out here and wandering there. I saw the eyes—lost. And then I made it to the classroom where the Bible study was taking place and I instantly had hope. Fourteen students had gathered 30 minutes before school to talk about Jesus and how to reach their school with His love! The student leader asked “what do you feel when you walk through our halls?” I answered her “I see a lot of lost teenagers looking for the truth and you all have to be the ones to show them it.”Immediately students began crying and sharing the same feelings. They became so excited to reach their school that next week they want me to share with them how to soul win! A school that at first seemed like having only total darkness now has a candle light…though it may be dim, the flame will grow swiftly!
Hello Rodney Howard Browne & Adonica, My name is Fay Sullivan. When you and your team came to my area God used me to support you supernaturally in several ways. It was God’s ideas and miracles through me that you will be hearing about in this text. God told me to: 1. Go to Southern Flooring Co. and ask them for new carpet to be put in the Hirsch dressing room for you. The owner gave the carpet and labor to install it free. God supplies! 2. Prepare meatballs and spaghetti for you and your family. God supplies! 3. Mention to Pastor Eric that John Starns is an anointed singer he could get for your meeting. God supplies! 4. He told me to go to a major grocery chain and ask the produce manager to sell me fruits and vegetables daily from the salad bar for your street ministers. The produce manager sold me a grocery basket full for $3 each.
God supplies! 5. Go to the bakery and ask to buy pies, pastries and cakes. Bakery manager donated baskets full for free, daily. God supplies! 6. Because of the hot Louisiana temperatures, God told me to take cold water and fruit to the streets and people were going door to door. One store donated a box of fresh peaches. God supplies! 7. Daily/Nightly deliver the fruit and veggies to the Hirsch sleeping quarters for workers on the street. One night when I put the food on the table I found out that 75 bible students were coming. Knowing this, I trusted God to meet their need. I turned around “knowing” that God was multiplying that little food. I knew it wasn’t enough for 75 people when I put it on the table, but when God finished touching it, everyone was filled and there was even left over’s in the morning. God supplies! David Barr may remember this. He was there. God’s servant/child.
This was my first Sunday in the children’s church. We arrived at the church at 8.am and were given information and our assignments for the day. The children were to sit on the floor along marked lines, boys on one side and girls on one side. My job was mainly to be responsible for the girls on two of the front rows.
I felt like things over all went quite smoothly in children’s church this day, taken into consideration the number of children that was present, and the fact that for many of them it was their first time coming. Rodney Howard Brown believes that was both because the qualifications of the regular workers and the presence of the anointing.
It seemed like the kids enjoyed all the games, and also the excitement when four bikes were given away.When it came time for preaching to the kids, the children’s minister painted a very vivid picture of Jesus suffering and death. The children listened well most of the time. It seemed like at the end, though, some of them had reached the end of their attention-span. When the alter call was given, approximately 150 children responded. It was great to know that many of these children had come on the buses and was a harvest from the church’s soul winning efforts. We know there was great rejoicing in heaven.
I noticed especially a little girl of maybe 7 or 8 years of age that probably came on one of the buses. She seemed to be a little easily distracted, and I was thinking she might be from a difficult home-situation. As the gospel was preached, I was not sure whether she listened to what was said or not. But when the alter call was given I was happy to see that she went forward together with all the other children.
It is wonderful to see how the kids respond to the gospel. We as adults have a lot to learn from them. I am reminded of how Jesus told the disciples in Matt.18 that they had to change and become like little children to enter the kingdom of heaven. It seems to be easier for children to humble themselves and realize that they their need for help and a savior.
I received major revelation out of the class, while listening I said to myself “Pastor Adonica is talking about the parable of the sower”, and suddenly volumes of this revelation started pouring into my heart about God’s word, and the landscape of our heart, which is, to me, the matters of the heart. I probably could write a book of the downloads I received during the lectures. I personally received an impartation listening to the message of Matter of the heart.
In class I learned that my hearts is only plowable, when I yield to the spirit of God. The Holy Spirit is what makes our hearts tender and plowable. The heart is interchanged alot throughout scripture with the word Spirit. We are not to confuse our human spirit with the Holy Spirit. The bible uses heart in comparison to our human spirit. Our human spirit is the real us, because man is a three part being. Man is a spirit, he has a soul, and he lives in a body. In Matthew 13, Jesus explains the four types of conditions of the heart; the wayside, the stony places, and the thorns, and last but not least, good ground. So to me, that means that there is about a 25% return on the seed sown and about 75% percent of people don’t produce any fruit! Not being about to produce fruit reminds me of a neutered dog. People have been neutered by their own hearts, and their own hearts won’t allow them to produce fruit for the kingdom.
In Luke chapter 8, Jesus uses a powerful illustration with different grounds in comparison with the conditions of the human spirit. For example, all land masses with human inhabitants have boundaries on maps, title deeds, plots, atlas etc. When you look at these lines drawn you see that they separate countries, states, counties, and even our houses. Every believer should draw their own boundary in their own heart and steward their own spirit, and nobody else’s. This area is where I believe people get in big trouble. I believe that ourselves and God has the title deed to our heart! We are only responsible for our own heart conditions and we have to make sure we are good farmers that will takes care of the our own heart. I don’t know of any farmer who would just take seed and handle it carelessly just throwing the seed anywhere and everywhere. I would think personally that if a farmer stood on top of a building and threw a big bag of seed over the edge of a busy New York street, that it wouldn’t produce a hill a beans! We are to take the word of God and plant it on good ground so that it will produce the hundredfold return.
The branch is the place where fruit should be visually, and physically located (John 15). When we understand and draw a boundary for the word to take first place in our hearts then we will hook up to the vine which is Jesus and we are the branches; we will produce fruit, good fruit from the heart. We have to draw boundaries, a deep line in from within our spirit, which cries out I love you Lord with all my heart, and with all my mind and with all my soul! We need to separate ourselves from the world, and the cares of life. The only way to have a good fertile heart which is good ground is to fall in love with Jesus and allow the Holy Spirit to break up the foul ground by spending time with him.
Very elderly lady said she was never saved she said and she wanted to and we went through whole script. She told me God sent me to her. There was another lady on the bench next to her I started talking to her but she couldn’t understand. She spoke creole. The lady I just prayed with told me she spoke creole & agreed to translate. She walked this other woman who she didn’t know all the way through the prayer after just getting saved. God is awesome! Husband and wife got saved. Quiet lady seemed nonresponsive, could feel anointing flow into her and received Christ. 9 people prayed sinners prayer. Others who already knew Jesus acted for prayer.
This past Saturday I lead my best friend to Jesus. He has been a budist for 33 years and his father was raised in a budist temple. That Saturday I lead a total of 28 people to Jesus in the streets. 3 drive by salvations, fireman collecting money at light, at bus stop Muslim got saved- family saw transformation. Daughter and mother rededicated.
I saw an elderly woman sitting on a bench and the Lord told me to pull out my cell phone and sit next to her. Then I put my cell phone up to my face and pretended to witness to someone on the phone so she would hear and when I finished with script and got off the bench she grabbed me by my arm and told me thank you. I asked if she said the prayer and she said yes!!! 1 man said I was going to hell he received Christ 3 ladies were Jehovah witnesses they received Christ 30 people at a baseball game received Christ
