I was witnessing to these 3 girls who’d never heard the gospel, they interrupted me in the middle of saying”if you want the free gift that god has for you, and they said I want that, I want that, they prayed the prayer and then they asked if there was anything else they didn’t know about, so explained it real simple, and they all received and they got hit with the joy of the Lord and started laughing hysterically and saying:”I feel so happy!” Then they asked if they could pray it with their friends, so i gave them scripts.

MY ROADMAP—THE WORD OF GOD - April 4, 2009 by rickvan

rodney howard browne

For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. Hebrews 4:12 NKJV

Rodney Howard Browne Teaches that The Bible is Our Handbook.

  • Every intricate thing that is made by man has a handbook or a manual.
  • God created and made us and all of creation.
    • Psalms 139:14 NKJV – I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Marvelous are Your works, And that my soul knows very well.
  • The Handbook or Manual for our lives is the Word of God—the Bible.
    • Psalms 119:105 KJV – Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.
  • God’s Word is our Roadmap and our Guide on the path of life.
  • Sadly, many believers don’t believe the Bible is the final authority for their lives—they don’t believe that His Word is true.
  • Some people explain God’s Word away by saying that He doesn’t mean what He says. If God does not mean what He says, then why doesn’t He just say what He means? He did say what He means—read it, believe it and act on it!
  • God’s Word is firmly established and will never move or change.
    • Psalms 119:89 KJV – Forever, O Lord, thy word is settled in heaven.
    • Psalms 119:160 KJV – Thy word is true from the beginning: and every one of thy righteous judgments endureth for ever.
  • John 17:17 NKJV – Sanctify them by Your truth. Your word is truth.
  • God and His Word are one—they can never be separated.
    • John 1:1 NKJV – In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
  • You cannot and should not try to “spin” the Word of God to suit your self. God does not allow any personal or private interpretation of any scripture.
    • 2 Peter 1:20 KJV - Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.
  • God’s Word is final authority for the believer—in ALL areas of life and conduct.

Rodney Howard Browne tells us to ask: What Roadmap Are You Following?

  • Your own way is the wrong way.
    • Proverbs 14:12 AMP – There is a way which seems right to a man and appears straight before him, but at the end of it is the way of death.
  • God’s Word will lead you to Life.
    • Psalms 119:11 KJV – Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.
  • God has given us His Word—which is His will. His will is His way.
  • In John 14:23-24, Jesus says that if a person really loves Him, they will keep and obey His Word, and if a person does not really love Him, they will not keep or obey His Word.
  • If you want something from God, you must come to Him on the basis of His Will—His Word—or your prayer will remain unanswered.
    • 1 John 5:14-15 NKJV – Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. 15 And if we know that He hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we have asked of Him.
  • Psalms 138:2b NKJV – You have magnified Your word above all Your name.
  • Jeremiah 1:12b AMP – I am alert and active, watching over My word to perform it.
  • Isaiah 55:11 NKJV – So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; It shall not return to Me void, But it shall accomplish what I please, And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.
  • Mark 13:31 NKJV – Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass away.


Rodney Howard Browne Teaches that God’s Word is Our Final Authority.

  • Child of God—you need to settle this, in your own heart and life, once and for all.
  • Jesus is the Word of God made flesh. The Word shows us the way.
  • John 1:1-14
  • Jesus said only what the Father told Him to say.
    • John 8:28-29 NKJV – Then Jesus said to them, “When you lift up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am He, and that I do nothing of Myself; but as My Father taught Me, I speak these things.  29 And He who sent Me is with Me. The Father has not left Me alone, for I always do those things that please Him.”
    • John 3:34 AMP – For since He Whom God has sent speaks the words of God [proclaims God's own message], God does not give Him His Spirit sparingly or by measure, but boundless is the gift God makes of His Spirit!
  • We must obey His Word as He obeyed His Father’s Word.
    • Matthew 7:21 AMP – Not everyone who says to Me, Lord, Lord, will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father Who is in heaven.
    • Luke 6:46 NKJV – “But why do you call Me ‘Lord, Lord,’ and not do the things which I say?

Let’s Settle This Today!

  • God’s Word has the answer and is the answer for everything in your life.
  • God’s Word is your guide for your conduct—spirit, soul and body.
  • God’s Word will cause you to prosper in every arena of life.
  • Joshua 1:3-8
  • Psalms 1:1-3

God’s Protection - March 25, 2009 by rickvan

rodney howard browne

There’s no more powerful description of God’s protection than Psalm 91. As we just read in The Amplified Bible, verse 1 says, He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall remain stable and fixed under the shadow of the Almighty. [Whose power no foe can withstand]. You must realize that God is all-powerful. There is no other power greater than Him. You need to focus on His power and His ability to protect you, rather than those things that cause fear to rise up in you.

 

Now if you don’t have these truths firmly fixed and established in your heart, you will live in fear. You’ll drive down the road at night, and you’ll be afraid. You won’t even be able to go out. When you get on an airplane, you’ll be sitting there holding onto the seat, your knuckles white.

 

Have you been afraid of something recently? You need a revelation of Psalm 91! Fear comes knocking on every door. It even has the nerve to call on me! But God wants you to get to the place where you’ve become stable and your heart is fixed on the fact that He is your protector and no foe can withstand Him.

 

There’s no enemy big enough to prevail over Almighty God. So guess where I’m going to hide? Psalm 20 says that some trust in chariots, and some trust in horses, but we will remember the name of our God. Proverbs 18:10 says that the name of the Lord is a strong and a mighty tower, and the righteous run into it and are saved.

 

When this becomes a revelation to you, you’re going to be believing differently and speaking differently. Psalm 91:2 in The Amplified Bible says, I will say of the Lord, He is my Refuge. When trouble comes, you will find out what a person believes, because it will come out of their mouth. When some people get into a crisis situation in an airliner, for instance, the first thing they say is, “Awwww we’re going to die!”

 

But when I get in an airplane, bless God, I don’t care if there is a bomb on board. I know there will be ten angels holding that bomb so it cannot go off until we’ve landed and deplaned. I believe that with all my heart. God is our protector. I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge, my fortress, my God, on Him I lean and rely and in Him I confidently trust. This is our confidence; this is our hope. He will deliver us.

 

When you say He is your refuge, your protector, that’s when you stand still and you see the salvation and deliverance of God. You don’t have to lie awake at night worrying about your family members. His hand is upon your family. He will protect them. He will protect their rising up and their lying down, their coming in and their going out.

 

You won’t have to pray, “Lord, please give us blessing on this journey.” I’m not saying you shouldn’t; I’m saying you won’t have to pray it when you say it. You’ll just say, “He’s my refuge and my fortress.” You acknowledge Him because you know He’s right there in the automobile with you. He’s right there in the plane with you. He’s right there when you get up. He’s right there when you lie down. He’s right there when you come in and go out. He’s your refuge, your strong tower, your fortress, your shield, your protector, your bomb shelter.

 

In addition, He will deliver you from the snare of the fowler and from the deadly pestilence (v. 3). All around the world there’s turmoil and wars and rumors of wars, men against men and nation against nation. But as believers, as those that are washed in the blood of the Lamb, with Jesus on our side, we’ll just see it. It’s not going to come near us, for He is there to protect us. And when the enemy comes against us, there’s that wall of fire about us.

 

Remember the exodus? When the children of Israel left Egypt, God gave them a pillar of cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night. But when they got to the edge of the sea and Pharaoh started coming behind them, the fire of God went between the children of Israel and the enemy so they couldn’t get near them. He’s still our pillar of fire today!

 

Then it says in Psalm 91:4: He will cover you with His pinions, and under His wings shall you find trust and refuge; His truth and His faithfulness are a shield and a buckler. This is not a tiny shield; it’s a giant shield covering you. The enemy can’t even find you. All he sees is God’s shield.

A Clean Heart - January 11, 2009 by rickvan

rodney howard browne

Rodney Howard Browne discusses how to have a clean heart. To understand how to have a clean heart, let’s first think about what happens when your hands are dirty: you wash them. In fact, you probably wash them multiple times each day, even if you can’t see dirt on them. You wash them because they feel dirty, or because you just sense that they are not clean.

Rodney Howard Browne teaches us to receive Jesus as our Savior. Once we have received Jesus Christ as Savior, we are clean in His eyes, but that doesn’t mean we have once and for all attained sinless perfection. As we go out into the world, we naturally get a little dirt on us—in any given day, we can say hurtful things, manifest inappropriate attitudes, or think wrong thoughts. We are clean only as long as we are obedient, which means that we can get dirty all too easily. For this reason, Jesus told Peter, “He who has bathed needs only to wash his feet, but is completely clean” (John 10:13).

Ephesians 5:26 speaks of cleansing “by the washing of water with the word.” Spiritually, the way our hearts become clean is by using God’s “cake of soap”—the Bible. A heart must be clean for the Holy Spirit to work in it. God’s living Word has been given to mankind as an instruction book and as a means to keep us clean by revealing our wrong thinking or behavior. As Scripture speaks to our heart, we confess and repent, which is how the cleansing takes place. (1 John 1:9) Have you washed yet today?

STAND AND RESIST - December 2, 2008 by rickvan

For we do not have a High Priest Who is unable to understand and sympathize and have a shared feeling with our weaknesses and infirmities and liability to the assaults of temptation, but one Who has been tempted in every respect as we are, yet without sinning. Hebrews 4:15 AMP

Rodney Howard Browne instructs us to resist temptation. Jesus, in His earthly walk, was tempted with everything that any one of us has ever been tempted with. The difference between Him and us is that He did not yield to temptation and He did not sin. Because He was born a man and because He was subject to the same temptations as us, He had a right to take our place at the cross representing Man. Because He was God in the flesh, He had a right to take His place at the cross representing God. Because Jesus never succumbed to temptation and because He never sinned, God had a right to raise Him up on the third day, with us in Him. An everlasting covenant was cut on that cross, between God and man, which can never be rescinded. Sin has no more dominion over you and me!

For when you were slaves of sin, you were free in regard to righteousness. 21 But then what benefit (return) did you get from the things of which you are now ashamed? [None] for the end of those things is death. 22 But now since you have been set free from sin and have become the slaves of God, you have your present reward in holiness and its end is eternal life. 23 For the wages which sin pays is death, but the [bountiful] free gift of God is eternal life through (in union with) Jesus Christ our Lord. Romans 6:20-23 AMP

God has provided you and me with an opportunity and a means to deal with sin in our lives and to get rid of it. Before Jesus died and rose from the dead, we had no way to overcome sin at all, but now we do.

Rodney Howard Browne teaches us not to give in to sin. If you yield to sin as a way of life, you may think that you are in control, but what you don’t realize is that sin is controlling you. You might think that you are becoming fulfilled by fulfilling your fleshly desires and yielding to sin and temptations, but in reality you become emptier and emptier. You don’t realize the more you yield to sin, the more you are being taken over by the devil and destroyed by him. Sin is deceptive and destructive. Sin hardens your heart and moves you further and further away from the presence of God. Ultimately, sin will destroy you completely. God’s desire for you is that you experience His eternal life rather than the death of sin and He has given you the ability to overcome sin by the blood of Jesus and with the help of the Holy Spirit.

In the days of His flesh [Jesus] offered up definite, special petitions [for that which He not only wanted but needed] and supplications with strong crying and tears to Him Who was [always] able to save Him [out] from death, and He was heard because of His reverence toward God [His godly fear, His piety, in that He shrank from the horrors of separation from the bright presence of the Father]. 8 Although He was a Son, He learned [active, special] obedience through what He suffered 9 And, [His completed experience] making Him perfectly [equipped], He became the Author and Source of eternal salvation to all those who give heed and obey Him. Hebrews 5:7-9 AMP

Rodney Howard Browne teaches us about obedience to the Father. Even though Jesus is God’s Son, He learned special obedience through the things that He suffered – facing temptations, persecutions, and outright attacks. He could have been respected just for Who He is – Almighty God – but He has also earned our respect, not only for Who He is, but for what He has done. When He walked on the earth He prayed and asked God for certain things and all His prayers were answered because of His respect for the Father and the fact that He shrank from the horrors of separation from the bright presence of the Father. If we reverence God and His presence, if our primary desire in life is to please Him, then we will have all the motivation in the world to turn and RUN away from sin!

Just think of Him Who endured from sinners such grievous opposition and bitter hostility against Himself [reckon up and consider it all in comparison with your trials], so that you may not grow weary or exhausted, losing heart and relaxing and fainting in your minds. 4 You have not yet struggled and fought agonizingly against sin, nor have you yet resisted and withstood to the point of pouring out your [own] blood. Hebrews 12:3-4

Jesus struggled and fought agonizingly against sin. He withstood sin and temptation to the point that He sweated blood. Most people just let sin have its way in them. They don’t even try to resist it. We have an obligation to God and ourselves to resist sin. We have an obligation to God because Jesus went to and through such extremes to bring us to this place, to give us the privilege and the opportunity to be able to say NO to sin. We have an obligation to ourselves to stop doing the things that bring death and destruction to our lives and to start to do those things that result in both life and peace.
