For awhile I had always felt this emptiness, like I wasn’t doing something right in my Christian walk but never could put my finger on it. I was clueless. I would act like everything was ok, but deep down I wanted so much more than what I was receiving. I have always been told that “You stand out in a crowd” and “God has something so much bigger for you” but I never saw that, ever. These Great Awakening America meetings have really been touching me deep down where the dust was gathering and it’s awesome! I’ve never been so hungry to read the word, it’s like I freak out if I haven’t had time during the day to read at least a little bit. The youth as a whole has this reading plan which has also dramatically helped me stay reading the bible daily. The things I would do I would never really look at through the eyes of the spirit. I never saw the way that God sees these things. These bad habits are changing because God is revealing to me how easily your spirit man can become impure in the things that we watch, what we say and how we say it, also even in our attitude. Opening up these doors allows so much space for the enemy to come in and take me out and I refuse to let that happen. I’m contending, not for the battle that has already been won, but I’m contending for the change that I want to see take place in my life. I don’t even want to look the same. I want to walk, talk, breathe, sleep, act in a completely different way. I never want the old Jill to resurface, I always want to keep moving and pressing forward. I can honestly say that I have never felt this hungry for God before it’s like my spirit is just yearning for more and I cannot get enough.-Jillian S.

Dear Pastor Rodney, I just posted this on my facebook – I was watching something really awesome last night. It said a lot to me. At the Rodney Howard-Browne meeting (live stream) he had everyone go up to stand together who are soul-winning and those who have gone out to his Great Awakening tour before. Over 100+ people came up and stood together…it was a truly beautiful portrait of people tall and short, different shapes and sizes, skin colors, male & female..BUT they all had a beautiful GLOW about them.
Each one. they had a peace about them. Just regular people like you and me. And they had JOY. why ?? they are filled with the Holy Spirit and are DOING the word. not just quoting scripture and saying they are Christians. That’s what I saw anyway. And that’s where I’m headed…soul winning, with a script in hand. it works…and just said I’m letting go and letting God. Thats the key – - a lot of Christians say they follow Christ, but really are following a lot of other things instead. make sense ?

His name shall endure forever; His name shall continue as long as the sun. Psalms 72:17 NKJV
Let them praise and exalt the name of the Lord, for His name alone is exalted and supreme! His glory and majesty are above earth and heaven! Psalms 148:13 AMP
A. A name is the thing by which a person or thing is known. God is called by many different names in the Bible, each of which reveals aspects of His nature and character.
1. ELOHIM. ELOHIM is the first word used in scripture used to designate “God”. “In the beginning ELOHIM created the heaven and the earth.” (Genesis 1:1)
EL: meaning “God, god, mighty one, strength” (Deuteronomy 32:4). EL is usually used in compound with other terms as EL Elyon, EL Shaddai, etc.
EL ELYON: “The Most High” (Deuteronomy 32:8).
Genesis 14:18-20 KJV – And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine: and he was the priest of the most high God [EL Elyon]. 19 And he blessed him, and said, Blessed be Abram of the most high God [EL Elyon], possessor of heaven and earth: 20 And blessed be the most high God [EL Elyon], which hath delivered thine enemies into thy hand.
EL OLAM: “The Everlasting God.” Not only is He everlasting in duration, but He is everlastingly faithful.
Isaiah 26:4 KJV – Trust ye in the Lord for ever: for in the Lord JEHOVAH is everlasting strength.
EL SHADDAI: “The Almighty God.”
Genesis 17:1 KJV – And when Abram was ninety years old and nine, the Lord appeared to Abram, and said unto him, I am the Almighty God; walk before me, and be thou perfect.
Some scholars say the word “shaddai” is derived from the word “shad” meaning breast, giving rise to the names “The Satisfier” and “All Sufficient One”. Some say “shad” means “mountain”. Either way, He is still the God who is more than enough!
2. ADONAI: Lord, lord, master, owner, ruler.
Used in reference to men and God – it can refer to a person who is a master, owner or ruler, or it can refer to the Lord God, because He is the Master and Owner of everything.
When we call Jesus “Lord” we are recognizing Him as our Master – if we call Jesus Lord and do not obey Him then our language and conduct are contradicting each other.
3. JEHOVAH: the personal NAME of God in His relationship as REDEEMER.
Exodus 3:13-15 KJV – And Moses said unto God, Behold, when I come unto the children of Israel, and shall say unto them, The God of your fathers hath sent me unto you; and they shall say to me, What is his name? what shall I say unto them? 14 And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you. 15 And God said moreover unto Moses, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, The Lord God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath sent me unto you: this is my name for ever, and this is my memorial unto all generations.
Exodus 6:2-3 KJV – And God spake unto Moses, and said unto him, I am the Lord: 3 And I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, by the name of God Almighty, but by my name JEHOVAH was I not known to them.
Jehovah is the name for the Lord God occurring most frequently in the Old Testament (5,321 times). Jehovah is the covenant name of God expressing personal relationship and when His name is compounded with other terms, together they identify and make specific those relationships.
4. The Compound Names of JEHOVAH:
JEHOVAH ELOHIM: SUPREME GOD
Genesis 2:4 KJV – These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the Lord God [Jehovah Elohim] made the earth and the heavens.
This name identifies Jehovah with the creation of all things. The Triune God is also the Redeemer of His people.
JEHOVAH JIREH: The LORD will PROVIDE
Genesis 22:14 AMP – So Abraham called the name of that place The Lord Will Provide [Jehovah Jireh]. And it is said to this day, On the mount of the Lord it will be provided.
God provided a substitute for Isaac and He provided, for us, once and for all a substitute – the Lamb of God. Romans 8:32 AMP – He who did not withhold or spare [even] His own Son but gave Him up for us all, will He not also with Him freely and graciously give us all [other] things?
JEHOVAH RAPHA: The LORD my HEALER
Exodus 15:26 NASU – And He said, “If you will give earnest heed to the voice of the Lord your God, and do what is right in His sight, and give ear to His commandments, and keep all His statutes, I will put none of the diseases on you which I have put on the Egyptians; for I, the Lord, am your HEALER.”
He is speaking here about physical diseases and physical diseases. This promise is conditional upon obedience – yours and mine.
JEHOVAH NISSI: The LORD is my BANNER
Exodus 17:15 AMP – And Moses built an altar and called the name of it, The Lord is my Banner. Moses built this altar to commemorate the victory God gave Israel over Amalek. Aaron and Hur had held up Moses’ hands until sunset, and while they did so Israel prevailed.
Song of Solomon 2:4 KJV – He brought me to the banqueting house, and his banner over me was love.
JEHOVAH SHALOM: The LORD is my PEACE
Judges 6:24 KJV – Then Gideon built an altar there unto the Lord, and called it Jehovah-shalom. When God called Gideon to lead Israel to victory over the Midianites, the Angel of the Lord appeared to Gideon. When he realized that it was the Angel of the Lord, he thought he would die. The Angel assured him that he would not and spoke peace to him. Jehovah assured him that he would live and lead Israel to triumph. Jehovah was peace to him even before the battles began.
Shalom (peace) means more than freedom from conflict; it means prosperity, health, well-being, and faith in the face of conflict.
John 14:27 KJV – Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
JEHOVAH RAAH: The LORD is my SHEPHERD
Psalms 23:1 KJV – The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
John 10:11 AMP – I am the Good Shepherd. The Good Shepherd risks and lays down His [own] life for the sheep.
1 Peter 5:4 NKJV – And when the Chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the crown of glory that does not fade away.
JEHOVAH TSIDKENU: The LORD our RIGHTEOUSNESS
Jeremiah 23:6 AMP – In His days Judah shall be saved and Israel shall dwell safely: and this is His name by which He shall be called: The Lord Our Righteousness.
1 Corinthians 1:30 KJV – But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption.
JEHOVAH SABAOTH/TSEBAOTH: The LORD of HOSTS
Psalms 24:10 AMP – Who is [He then] this King of glory? The Lord of hosts, He is the King of glory.
2 Kings 6:13-17 Elisha’s servant’s eyes are opened to see the hosts of God – horses and chariots of fire – surrounding the city.
JEHOVAH SHAMMAH: The LORD is THERE
Ezekiel 48:35 AMP – The distance around the city shall be 18,000 [4 x 4,500] measures; and the name of the city from that day and ever after shall be, The Lord Is There. God – the great God – is ever present with His people!
Hebrews 13:5b-6 NKJV – For He Himself has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.” 6 So we may boldly say: “The Lord is my helper; I will not fear. What can man do to me?”

And this good news of the kingdom (the Gospel) will be preached throughout the whole world as a testimony to all the nations, and then will come the end. Matthew 24:14 AMP
The Gospel is good news! The word Gospel literally means good news or glad tidings. The Greek word is “euangelizo”, so when we talk about evangelizing, it literally means “sharing the good news”. Isaiah 61:1a AMP prophesies about Jesus: “The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me, because the Lord has anointed and qualified me to preach the Gospel of good tidings…” John the Baptist preached the good news that Jesus was coming. Jesus preached the good news about the Kingdom of God and healed people everywhere He went. We, today, preach the good news that Jesus has come and died and rose again for our salvation and we show His goodness by doing the works of Jesus.
The Gospel is the Good News about:
1. The Kingdom of Heaven and of God
- Matthew 4:23 AMP – And He went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues and preaching the good news (Gospel) of the kingdom, and healing every disease and every weakness and infirmity among the people.

- Romans 15:16 AMP – In making me a minister of Christ Jesus to the Gentiles. I act in the priestly service of the Gospel (the good news) of God, in order that the sacrificial offering of the Gentiles may be acceptable [to God], consecrated and made holy by the Holy Spirit.
3. Jesus Christ
- Mark 1:1 AMP – The beginning [of the facts] of the good news (the Gospel) of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.
- Romans 1:16 AMP – For I am not ashamed of the Gospel (good news) of Christ, for it is God’s power workinffg unto salvation [for deliverance from eternal death] to everyone who believes with a personal trust and a confident surrender and firm reliance, to the Jew first and also to the Greek.
- Romans 15:29 AMP – And I know that when I do come to you, I shall come in the abundant blessing of the Gospel of Christ.
4. Salvation and Redemption for All
- Mark 16:15 AMP – And He said to them, Go into all the world and preach and publish openly the good news (the Gospel) to every creature [of the whole human race].
- Luke 4:18-19 AMP – The Spirit of the Lord [is] upon Me, because He has anointed Me [the Anointed One, the Messiah] to preach the good news (the Gospel) to the poor; He has sent Me to announce release to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to send forth as delivered those who are oppressed [who are downtrodden, bruised, crushed, and broken down by calamity], 19 To proclaim the accepted and acceptable year of the Lord [the day when salvation and the free favors of God profusely abound.]
5. The Grace of God
-Acts 20:24 NKJV – But none of these things move me; nor do I count my life dear to myself, so that I may finish my race with joy, and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the gospel of the grace of God.
6. Peace
- Romans 10:15 KJV – And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!
-Ephesians 6:15 KJV – And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace.
7. The Promises
- Ephesians 3:6 KJV – That the Gentiles should be fellowheirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the Gospel.
Hebrews 8:6 NKJV – But now He has obtained a more excellent ministry, inasmuch as He is also Mediator of a better covenant, which was established on better promises.
8. The Truth
- Ephesians 1:13 NKJV – In Him you also trusted, after you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation; in whom also, having believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise.
Colossians 1:5 NKJV – Because of the hope which is laid up for you in heaven, of which you heard before in the word of the truth of the Gospel.
9. Having a Lifestyle of Faith
- Philippians 1:27 NKJV – Only let your conduct be worthy of the gospel of Christ, so that whether I come and see you or am absent, I may hear of your affairs, that you stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the Gospel.
10. Giving Hope
- Colossians 1:23 NKJV – If indeed you continue in the faith, grounded and steadfast, and are not moved away from the hope of the gospel which you heard, which was preached to every creature under heaven, of which I, Paul, became a minister.
11. Living Forever – Immortality
- 2 Timothy 1:10-11 NKJV – But has now been revealed by the appearing of our Savior Jesus Christ, who has abolished death and brought life and immortality to light through the Gospel.
God has called us believers to go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature, to baptize them in water and in the Holy Ghost, to get them healed delivered and on fire for God! The Gospel of the Kingdom is not a Gospel of something only in the future – a kingdom that is to come – but is the Good News of salvation and all the benefits of the redemption we have through Jesus Christ, which are available right now. We can have and enjoy His eternal life right now!

When I entered into my internship, I had an idea of what areas I wanted to work in. I decided to learn about children administration as well as how to run a Worship Department. I began to work in the Nursery with the babies. I was not all that excited to begin with, but God has been dealing with me in several areas of my life as I spend time taking care of those precious babies. God has been teaching me about the heart of a child and how I must have a heart just like theirs. The innocence and purity found in children is something that we must go back to as we continue to grow older, even in spiritual maturity. In Mark 9:35-37, Jesus taught the twelve disciples about their attitude towards children.
Jesus said that in order to be first, one must be the very last, a servant of all. I have learned the true meaning of servant-hood. He also said that if we welcome the children, we welcome Him. In Mark 10: 13-16, Jesus rebuked the disciples because they were hindering the children from touching Him. He declared that the kingdom of God belongs to the children. I am now beginning to understand what Jesus meant with those words. I have the privilege of leading the babies in praise and worship, as well as teaching them Bible lessons.
They are so open to receive Jesus and instruction. When they say the Name of Jesus, I can feel the heart of the Father. If it brings me joy to hear the Name of Jesus being used with such confidence and purity of heart, the Father must be ecstatic. In the Worship Department I have learned that excellence does not mean perfect. Many times I wanted to see everything running smoothly and orderly, but I came to understand that if there is room for the Holy Spirit to move, that is as perfect as it can get. That is the key to a great time of worship.

After being really scared about going on the street, God was amazing. He brought the right people to me. I prayed with two lady ministers who both rededicated their lives to the Lord, and they said they knew that someone was going to speak to them today.
While we were out today, my team prayed for my leg. I had a stroke a year ago, and I have been unable to move my toes or ankle. During prayer, my toes started to move, and I have been walking without a brace or a cane. I went to Wal Mart and to the nursing home, and I prayed with 4 people today to get saved.
Most people said they hoped they were going to heaven. When I told them of God’s promises to us they were happy, but when they said they were forgiven and forgave others who ever have hurt them they would cry and say now I’m forgiven and I am going to heaven. I spoke to another person that was unable to speak. I asked “blink if you understand and blink if you want to receive Jesus” and she did. She was crying during the prayer.

I recently spoke with a homeless guy who was a pastor, but he didn’t receive at first. Another soulwinner named Steve prayed for him and had a word for him that “something is going to happen to you tonight between 7 – 10 p.m.” I went back a week later, and the homeless man accepted Jesus. He said that the night that Steve gave him the word, he went to get high but didn’t and has been off crack ever since.
I went to a nursing home and prayed with 8 staff members. We had a lot of favor today, and I prayed with many between the ages of 90-99 years old!! Altogether, I prayed with 43 people!
Today was my first time going out soul winning. I went to a nursing home. Outside in the courtyard two women accepted Jesus, and one said, “This is what I needed today.” Altogether, I prayed with 6 people to receive Christ.
I went to a nursing home today and prayed with a Jewish lady who at first said, “But I’m Jewish.” After the nursing home, we went to the streets and prayed with a guy at a bus stop. I also got to lead two Spanish people to Jesus. Through the whole day, I prayed with a total of 14 people.

“Igniting a Generation”, was absolutely amazing! I have never experienced a camp meeting like this before. From the diversity in music to the speakers God demonstrated His creativity and His ability to use absolutely anyone He chooses to help ignite a generation!
Personally, I came to the realization that I no longer have room to complain. When Pastor Joel Stockstill gave his testimony, I realize that the call God has on my life is a great thing and will be an awesome journey; but I may face tribulations along the way. This does not give me the right to give up or be depressed, but rather persevere with all my might! When I realized that this great man of God still ministers with no kidneys, loss his wife to cancer and is still going through treatment 3 days a week, my problems are so small! This camp meeting caused me to step outside of myself and “my world” and realize that the people that need to be reached are far more important than my issues. That God has called me and has equipped me with everything I need to get the job done!
Another life changing moment for me was the fact that God really does use anyone! Every speaker had such an awesome testimony of God’s saving grace and power. The speakers helped me see that I do not have to be perfect but simply obeying the call! I think sometimes I get caught up in wanting to have everything right before God can use me. Or sometimes I think I mess up so many times that God might be disappointed in me. But thank God for His righteousness that is imputed to me, and all I have do to is just be willing to obey and move forward with whatever He has called me to do.
No matter what I face, or the circumstances surrounding me, I must press toward the mark; not looking to my right or left, but keeping my eyes fixed on Jesus!
