The Holy Spirit inspired a greater in-depth study of the revelation shared in a previous message, "What Do You Say You Are?" This digs deeper into the differences of being a follower of Christ, a witness, a believer and a disciple. They are not all the samething, although they can be pathways to salvation. What does it take to be saved and receive salvation. As believers, we know the role Jesus play in our salvation, but does God play a role in your salvation? What is required of you? The purpose of this message is to leave the 99 and go after the 1 who might not be saved, and does not know how to be saved. We do not want you on judgment day facing Jesus as shared in Matthew 7:21, where He says, I do not know you. What must you do for God Almighty, to know you? www.theriverroom.church

The Ordination of Pastor Dr. Hanisha Besant as Associate Pastor of the River Room Church of Hampton Roads, September 16, 2023 (Rosh Hashanah) theriverroom.church

Minister Cassandra Donnelly presents part 4 of her personal and spiritual encounter with PTSD.

In this Resurrection Sunday message, Pastor Ray explains the important significance of what was said about the burial cloths of Jesus in the tomb, and what really happened for Jesus to exit the tomb the morning He rose from being dead for three days. What happened with Jesus will one day happen with all believers one day. We will all have spiritual, extra dimensional bodies one day. The good news is that Jesus paid the price for our sin, and we will one day be like Him and with Him in paradise. But something else took place when Jesus stepped out of the tomb. Something that is extremely powerful and meaningful for each of us as we live our lives, and wait for that glorious day that we will all be with Him. www.theriverroom.church

In this crazy world that we are living in today … wouldn’t it be great … if we understood the signs of the times … and we knew the best course of action to take? The Old Testaments speaks of a group of people like that… they were one of the 12 tribes of Israel … they were the sons of Issachar 1 Chronicles 12: 32 … says that they understood the signs of the times … and they knew the best course for Israel to take. These men were the intelligentsia … of their day … They knew the will of God for His people … in order to discern the times. This messages shares more about these wise and discerning members of the tribe of Issachar, and at the end this special anointing is imparted on those desiring it. www.theriverroom.church

God has a plan for you. He has a purpose, a divine purpose for your existence. In order for God's plans for you to manifest, you must show evidence of your faith, and be willing and able to take the appropriate action when His plans present themselves. God has His part, and we have our parts. If you have been praying and you are patiently waiting for God's plans to take shape in your life, you probably need to listen to this message in order to better understand your part in God's plans. www.theriverroom.church

Psalm 73 tells the story of a godly man who questioned the merits of his faith. These words in Psalm 73 … were written by a worship leader in the temple in Jerusalem during the days of King David.… about 3000 years ago. They could just as easily have been written today. His name was Asaph, even though he was a godly worship leader … Asaph felt that he didn’t know what to believe any more. He questioned his faith. This is a verse by verse study of this remarkable Psalm, with application to your life today, especially in a world blanketed in so much wickedness, evil, immorality and deception.

Pastor Dr. Hanisha Besant blesses all present with a Holy Spirit filled spontaneous Message about the Hebrews 11 Kind of Faith. www.theriverroom.church

We live in a world gone crazy. Jesus spoke of a time … that was so frightening … men would faint for fear of what was about to happen …. We can find that scripture in Luke 21: 25-26. Prophetic readings in the New Testament suggests … that these are the next three events ahead of us: The Rapture of the Church… (1 Thessalonians 4: 13-18) The Worldwide Apostasy… (2 Thessalonians 2: 1-3a) The Rise of the Antichrist … (2 Thessalonians 2: 3b-4) This message examines what the Bible says about the rise, reign and ruin of the AntiChrist. It addresses "what" he is and what to expect, and the signs of his coming. Part 2 looks at what we as believers need to be doing at this time, in preparing for the days ahead. www.theriverroom.church

There are numerous prophetic accounts of the Last Days, the end of times, the tribulation … found all through our Bibles. Even Jesus … spoke about the Last Days and the great tribulation in Matthew 24. What I find amazing about Matthew 24 is that only 3 chapters earlier in Matthew 21, Jesus rode triumphantly into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday. On that first Palm Sunday …. Jesus fulfilled prophesy … when He rode into Jerusalem … I am here today to tell you … that prophesy will be fulfilled AGAIN … In this planet’s last days … when … He comes again … bringing the Kingdom of Heaven to earth. God keeps His word. We have example after example of Him doing that throughout our Bibles, but He will be keeping His Word as to His returning also, and its about to happen SOON. www.theriverroom.church

God's timing is rarely our timing. This encouraging word uses scripture to help you better wait on the Lord. It discusses the problems that we might encounter if we are impatient, or simply don't wait. As well as presenting the pluses and the blessings that occur while in God's waiting room. But I believe the greatest revelation is what this reveals to us, in that the fulfillment of our promises or our prayers are not really the blessing. Guess what the real blessing is? www.theriverroom.church

Science and historians are always trying to prove the Bible is wrong, but the more they try, the more they find out the Bible account is very accurate. One such area is the study of who we are ... where did we come from. But even genetic scientists are finding out that we all originated with a single mitochondrial mother. We all share similarities in our DNA. This is a quick look at how the people in the Bible, especially the people groups from the sons of Noah spread out across the world after the destruction of the Tower of Babel. The Bible very specifically details the migration of the generations of descendants of Noah, followed by a quick explanation of how DNA then affected physical appearances of everyone across the globe. In short we learn there are not many races ... there is only one, the human race. And regardless of color of our skins, the language we speak, and the racial label place on us ... we are really on related, and come from our ancestral mother Eve, and our ancestral father, Adam. www.theriverroom.church

Pastor Dr Hanisha Besant provides a word of encouragement for those stuck in a pit and hoping and dreaming that your desires and hopes would come true. www.theriverroom.church

God directs His Kingdom Finances to bless His children, so that they can help finance God's purposes on this earth. But our adversary wants to prevent that from happening, so our adversary makes legal claims against us, which legally bind up in the Courts of Heaven … God’s blessings and God’s finances and resources which were purposed for us. The devil uses God’s spiritual laws as a weapon against us, and makes allegations against us to prevent this from happening. It is important that you understand how you can undo these legal claims designed to steal your blessings, or slow them down or prevent them from getting to you. www.theriverroom.church

We are living in troubled times and many Christians believe that Jesus will be returning soon. But will He? In order to have a better understanding of when we might truly expect our Messiah, we need to study the prophetic picture and timeline that John paints for us beginning with Revelation 6. This is a verse by verse study to better understand what will and what will not soon be happening. www.theriverroom.church

In this study of Revelation 10, Jesus shows John an angel standing with one foot on the sea and one foot on land. He was holding a small scroll. Exactly who is this angel. Is it Jesus? What is he holding, and what does it represent? Why is one foot on land and the other foot on the sea? And when did all this occur, and what does it all mean? It's all revealed in this study of Revelation 10. We are living in the end of the age and for the astute and knowledgeable, they are not surprised at what they see going on in the world today. They know what is about to take place. Their lanterns are full of oil. I hope yours is too. www.theriverroom.church

Fresh Fire Weekend with Apostle Eric Melwani - Healing and Deliverance. Hosted by the River Room Church of Hampton Roads, Virginia Beach, Virginia. April 26, 2024. www.theriverroom.church

Believers desperately want to follow the leading of the Holy Spirit in their lives. However too many are doing things backwards. They strive and rely on their own ability to hear the Holy Spirit. That is attempting to do things in your own strength. Instead we need to trust in the ability of the Holy Spirit to communicate with us. He is always speaking to us. We have the ability, the supernatural senses to hear the Holy Spirit and to see the Holy Spirit move in our lives, but we need to sharpen those senses to do so. This quick teaching shares key principles for you to more clearly hear and discern the voice of the Holy Spirit from your own and the world around you. www.theriverroom.church
