Who shall go up into the mountain of the Lord? Or who shall stand in His Holy Place? 4 He who has clean hands and a pure heart, who has not lifted himself up to falsehood or to what is false, nor sworn deceitfully. 5 He shall receive blessing from the Lord and righteousness from the God of his salvation.  Psalms 24:3-5 AMP
 
Sin cannot enter or stand in the presence of God and neither can anyone who is full of sin. Who can ascend into Heaven? Who may enter the Father’s Holy Presence?
 
Only those who:
 
1. Have clean hands
• Hands that have not committed sin – sin free
• Hands that are innocent – blameless; clean; clear; exempted; free; guiltless
• Psalms 15 NKJV – Lord, who may abide in Your tabernacle?     Who may dwell in Your holy hill? 2 He who walks uprightly, And works righteousness, And speaks the truth in his heart; 3 He who does not backbite with his tongue, Nor does evil to his neighbor, Nor does he take up a reproach against his friend; 4 In whose eyes a vile person is despised, But he honors those who fear the Lord; He who swears to his own hurt and does not change; 5 He who does not put out his money at usury, Nor does he take a bribe against the innocent. He who does these things shall never be moved.
• No matter what we have done in the past, we can repent and have a heart-change, receive God’s forgiveness, have our sins washed away by the blood of Jesus and have the power of sin broken over us. We can have a brand new start and begin to do right from that moment on.
 
2. Have a pure heart
• A heart empty or void of sin and iniquity
• A sincere heart; beloved
• A choice, clean, clear, pure heart
• Psalms 51:7-11 NKJV – Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; Wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow. 8 Make me hear joy and gladness, That the bones You have broken may rejoice. 9 Hide Your face from my sins, And blot out all my iniquities. 10 Create in me a clean heart, O God, And renew a steadfast spirit within me. 11 Do not cast me away from Your presence, And do not take Your Holy Spirit from me.
• Malachi 3:2-3 NKJV – “But who can endure the day of His coming? And who can stand when He appears? For He is like a refiner’s fire And like launderers’ soap. 3 He will sit as a refiner and a purifier of silver; He will purify the sons of Levi, And purge them as gold and silver, That they may offer to the Lord An offering in righteousness.  
• Matthew 5:8 KJV – Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.
 
3. Do not lie, have idols or live a selfish, ungodly life
• 1 Corinthians 6:9-11 NKJV – Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, 10 nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God. 11 And such were some of you. But you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God.
• Galatians 5:19-21 NKJV – Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, 20 idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, 21 envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.
• Hebrews 12:14 KJV – Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord.
 
4. Love truth
• Revelation 21:8 NKJV – But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.”
 
Have you received Jesus as your Lord? Do you live to do His will and not your own? Heaven welcomes those who are perfect – not perfected by their own goodness, but who have truly repented, been washed in the blood of Jesus, been forgiven and who continue to serve Him in the beauty of holiness.
 
But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, to an innumerable company of angels, 23 to the general assembly and church of the firstborn who are registered in heaven, to God the Judge of all, to the spirits of just men made perfect, 24 to Jesus the Mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling that speaks better things than that of Abel.  Hebrews 12:22-24 NKJV
 
The twelve gates were twelve pearls: each individual gate was of one pearl. And the street of the city was pure gold, like transparent glass. 22 But I saw no temple in it, for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its temple. 23 The city had no need of the sun or of the moon to shine in it, for the glory of God illuminated it. The Lamb is its light. 24 And the nations of those who are saved shall walk in its light, and the kings of the earth bring their glory and honor into it.  25 Its gates shall not be shut at all by day (there shall be no night there). 26 And they shall bring the glory and the honor of the nations into it.  27 But there shall by no means enter it anything that defiles, or causes an abomination or a lie, but only those who are written in the Lamb’s Book of Life.  Revelation 21:21-27 NKJV
 
Is your name written in the Lamb’s Book of Life? Only those with clean hands and a pure heart, whose names are written in there, will be able to enter that glorious City of God, to live forever with Him, filled with and surrounded by His joy and His peace. The reward of having clean hands and a pure heart is that you will receive blessing from the Lord, and righteousness from the God of your salvation!

While being at ministers’ conference on Monday night, the Lord smacked me that night. He begins to show me things to come and what I would do in the future. I really realized that there was no limits and nothing that could stop me from pursuing all that God had for me. It was a death to me. Tuesday night was an awesome night as well. The Lord really begins to deal with me about the nations, and hearing the sound of the nations continually as you go about your day. The minister’s conference was refreshing and life changing.

The Holy Spirit took things out of me that didn’t belong, he healed my heart. I was starting to get into a routine and then the Lord messed me up those nights. Listening to Dr. Phil talking about Kingdom culture was great. He talked about people that have to impress you instead of impress God and how they strive in the flesh to gain man’s approval instead of God’s approval. It was awesome and changed my life. I understood how God responds to seed as Ted begin to preach on sowing seed.

The Lord really begin to break my heart for Mexico and other nations, knowing that I will shake these places in the future. It was awesome to be refreshed and to sit under and listen to great men of God who have paved the way. After the week of ministers’ conference I was refreshed and was truly never the same. I had to make some adjustments that have helped me grow here in R.B.I

The Minister’s conference “no limits no boundaries” really caused me to think even more about what I need to be doing. I never realized that the Lord is trying to enlarge each of us, on the inside, as much as I realized it during this conference. This must happen so that we can reach those he has for us to reach. I saw this as a picture in my mind, where you start as a dry expanse when in the world. After your born again, you get a small amount of water to help your heart to grow(so to speak). When you yield more and more, the water which was a tiny dribble, becomes more which washes over us. If we keep yielding this expanse grows deeper and wider becoming like the grand canyon inside of us. This feeds us but allows what is in us to flow through us to others when we share with them. It can renew us totally and give us a whole new course which is what the Lord wants. I really felt like I need to press in to God in every way to hear his voice and be washed by his river of life. I want the water course of his word and his love to totally cleanse me and renew me. I no longer want to follow the old course for my life. I don’t want to settle for being another mediocre christian. I want the dam that is inside me to break and change me totally forever. I want to reach the world with the news that Jesus Christ died for each of us.

People around this earth are dying and not everyone of them knows about Jesus.  There have been many great men of God who have gone before us and many who are out there now. These are breaking new ground but they need us, with all the Lord has put in each of us, to jump in and move it. I love hearing about missions and yet everywhere is a mission field. Even your own neighborhood and have you been out there taking ground, expanding the vision?

Such a great expense is caused by taking ground and working the vision the Lord has. We can do what we need to do with what we have and yet there are those who are called to fund that harvest that is coming. I was a bit confused because I know I am a soul winner and feel called to nations. I also feel a strong pull to fund the end time harvest. Such a great amount of funds are needed and we need to get away from doing anything with this worlds way of doing business. What ever the Lord is up to, he knows better than me just how to use my talents the way he designates. I just need to yield and let him wash my new watercourse deep and clean. He gives us everything we need and causes signs and wonders to follow. This is for us to display his power and let those out there see  that God loves them. It is nothing we do in anyway as we are the vessel that is used. When we preach the gospel of Jesus then He shows up. People get healed, set free and set on fire. The ministers that came during this week needed refreshed and set ablaze again.

Right now we can shake Tampa while in school but we need the rushing river of God so we can remain on his course for our lives. We must go shake the places God has for us so I need to take advantage of every moment to press in and know how to navigate into the next step for me. The ideas I have been given must take shape into what the Lord has for me and not the other way around.

I worked most of the conference either at book tables or in shipping putting together product, burning DVD’s, CD’s ect. I did get to see some online while working. I look forward to hearing each and every service  and hearing even more.

First of all, I might mention that I am the Norwegian translator of the website www.revival.com . I have been lecturing of Nordic languages at Swedish universities; Gothenburg, Uppsala and Stockholm. I started translating in June 08, after a visit to the Mjondalen Holy Spirit and Fire Conference (Friday June 6.th), where my wife and I (then backsliders) met the Lord once again.  But during the last year we have been facing several attacks from the enemy, and you probably wouldn’t believe it if I told all of this to you. But: December 16.th 2009 I attended your online web transmission from Tampa, and I sent a prayer request concerning the unpleasant recent turmoil of our lives, and especially I asked you to pray for a house for us to live in and a financial breakthrough. The story behind this, is the following: We, my wife and I, have been living under an enormous pressure for quite a while, as we have been having arguments concerning tax payment with authorities of two countries, Sweden (we live in Sweden right now) and Norway (in which we lived until 2006, as we both are Norwegians). Both Norway and Sweden have been wanting us  to pay taxes to their country, and we ended up paying tax to both countries for three years. Now, it turned out to be impossible to go on like this, and we have had to sell our house and  found  ourselves confronting a financial breakdown. But the prayer request changed the situation in a week! Last saturday we were offered to move into a house in Norway, and today we received  a telephone call from Norwegian tax authorities, in which they apologized the way they had been treating us for three years, and signalized a total payback of the taxes we – unrighteously – had been paying for these years!  So, your online prayer for our situation changed everything radically, and we are praising the Lord for his mercy! And, we have to thank you for praying for us! God bless you all, Rodney & Adonica, and also Eric and his precious wife. Hallelujah! God is good to us!

My life has changed drastically since I have started soul winning. I started soul winning back in 2002 and it was the scariest thing I had ever done at first. I had been a member of the River at Tampa Bay since December 1996 and wasn’t really involved in soul winning and wasn’t really interested in being involved in soul winning. I loved God and everything but I didn’t understand how soul winning was vitally important to my walk with God.

Since that time I have won hundreds or thousands of people to the Lord and have seen God move miraculously in people’s lives. I do not take any credit for any of the results I have seen on the streets, but it is the Spirit of God that has worked through me, and also me being open to be used by God. I am so grateful for this ministry and the charge that Pastors Rodney and Adonica have given us as a congregation and a challenger for all of us to go to another level in our soul winning. I believe that every believer should be winning souls and if they are not then I really wonder if they are really believers. I am very excited for what God is doing on the streets of Tampa and that I have had the privileged to be a part of changing this city one neighborhood at a time.

My husband and I have been forever changed by the soul winning and will never stop winning souls even if God moves us to another state or country. We will definitely incorporate the soul winning script in our own ministry as well. God has shown me different ways and strategies on how to win different kinds of people to the Lord, and I have seen people through the soul winning script and the compassion of God come to the Lord and their lives change forever.
