Great Awakening Tour City #20 North Miami Beach, Florida
On Friday the 14th Pastor Rodney asked for all those that would volunteer the following day to go witness with the teams to come forward. Before praying he said for us to think of the number of souls we wanted to reach. Instead of thinking of a number, I asked the Holy Spirit to give me a number, and He gave me the number 28. I agreed with Pastor and went home. The following day we went to visit a nursing home. At the end when we looked at the count, I noticed that we had spoken to 33 with 27 conversions and 1 rejection. As I was leaving, I said, “Lord, I can’t believe you’ll let me leave this place without meeting the number the Holy Spirit gave me last night. Please Lord, help me reach one more person for your kingdom. Just at the edge of the nursing home, about 2 feet away from the boundary there was a man in a wheel chair, and good to His word, the Lord helped me to lead the man to repentance. There was also an elderly lady that had lost her mind and kept repeating “nazareth, bayamon” which are the names of two different cities. As we entered the room the attending nurse told us that we were going to loose our time because she had lost her mind and didn’t understand anything. To prove her point she walked over to the patient and for over 2 minutes tried to make her say another word. Finally she succeeded and the patient repeated the word once, then went back to repeating “nazareth, bayamon.” Suddenly a boldness rose up in me; I walked over to her, looked down at her bed and said, “repeat with me, Jesus, forgive me of my sins, I repent. I receive you as my Lord and Savior. Cleanse me with your blood.” To the nurse’s amazement, she repeated every single word I told her. By the way, when I approached her, her eyes were crooked and she had a “glassy” look in her eyes. However, as soon as I said “Jesus,” her entire completion changed, her eyes became straight and she looked at me straight into my eyes as she repeated the words. I’m eternally thankful to the Lord and how he’s using Pastor Rodney to light a fire inside of us. Since the awakening, I no longer look at people the same, everyone I look at now I see them as someone that God loves and is going to hell unless we intervene. I know it is our responsibility to reach a lost and dying world. If we don’t, no one else will. There is literally a fire inside of me that is continually consuming me and the only way I can appease it is by witnessing to people. Not only is this happening to me, but two of my three sons have also caught the fire and are witnessing to their peers at school and work. My four years old grand-daughter prays for her older sister (6 years old) and says, “fire” and all they want to do is talk about the Lord. They were also deeply touched at the revival. May our Lord continue using Pastor Rodney and the team as He has here in South Florida.
