To God be all the glory. I am very grateful as well as thankful that I am in such a spirit filled Bible Institution. Since I have been at the River School of Worship I’m beginning to understand about the spiritual realm, and how it affects our daily lives. As Ephesians 6:12 states, “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places”.

On August 22, 2011 Pastor Rodney gave us the five principles that we will need to accomplish are goals at RSW or RBI. I really respect him highly for letting us know what is important and how to reach as well as obtain these goals. The goals include:

Integrity – The state or quality of being ethically sound, morally well adjusted.

Humility – A Christian characteristic. It is a mental attitude of lowliness the opposite of pride.

Morality – Is a sense of behavioral conduct that differentiates intention, decisions and actions between those that are good or bad.

Prayer Life – Spending time with God. Developing a relationship with him.

Accountability – Mans responsibility to God.

Since I have been a part of RSW the Lord has touched my life. I have a desire to read Gods word and really get to know him. I want to be all that he wants me to be. I believe with all my heart that the Lord will heal me within my physical body and I am ready.  I should have been dead but he kept me, and I know that God is a healer. As Isaiah 53:5 states, “But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.

I feel within my heart that all of the Pastors are knowledgeable and awesome; and I am so ever grateful that I was chosen to be a part of the River School of Worship. May God continue to send down his fire….Marlena B.
