The silver medalist of all the mothers. Pastor Andrew Taylor read out of Genesis15:2 Eliezar (type of the Holy Spirit) was to find a bride for Abraham. Pastor Andrew read from Genesis 24:2, Abraham is a type of God the Father, the riches man. Abraham has the seed, Isaac who is the type of son. We cannot escape the consequences of our decisions. There are 206 bones in the body, the biggest and strongest muscle is the thigh muscle. Putting your underneath someone’s thigh means 1.) Making a promise or swearing, 2.) Submission, and 3.) from the Hebrew also means the reproductive organs, swear by your children’s children. Abraham, Eliezar, and Jesus. Father, Holy Spirit, and Son. The name of Egypt symbolizes the world and the Lord has brought us out of Egypt. 2 Peter 2:22, like a dog who turns back to his vomit. Psalms 40:8, do we desire to do the Father’s will or are we consumed doing what we want to do? John 4:34, meat means task. 2 Peter 3:9, If we reject His precious son, God has to honor our choice. It is not God’s will that any soul should perish. When a soul does if grieves Him. How will God’s will be done? God’s will will be done by willing people. We are all sons and daughters of God. All over this world the Spirit is moving, flat out like a lizard drinking water. What is she will not come? What if she is too comfortable? What if we are too self absorbed? Pastor Andrew referenced Acts 1:8, Matthew 28:19-20 and encourages us to get up and go do the work of the Father. The price has been paid for everyone but, not everyone knows. If it is to be, it’s up to me. It is not the time to turn to your neighbor. Seek the Kingdom of God first. If you do the will of the Father, He will take care of what is needed. Pastor talks about the generations. Rebecca’s father is a guy named Bethua. Nahor and Milcah are the parents of Bethua. Abraham and Sarah have a child named Isaac. Isaac and Rebecka are the same age. Pastor Andrew read from Genesis 24. Genesis 24:56, yes I will go. Psalms 110:3, the people should be willing.

Stay in God’s word. Know how to use God’s grace. Keep in mind that the knowledge of God gives you understanding. Do what you have heard from the beginning, to bare fruit. Do you have the desire to bare fruit and what kind of fruit would that be? Pastor Sydney read from 1 Corinthians 3:6. The very ability of God lives inside of us.

Understanding Praise & Worship
Sunday May 19, 2019
Listen
Apostle Dale Armstrong mentioned that we miss the supernatural for looking for the spectacular. Apostle Dale read out of Luke 4:5, when Jesus met the devil. Not my will but, yours be done. Identify where the thought or idea is coming from. Apostle Dale read out of Revelations 11:15, if you don’t act on the word then you would become self deceived. As we act on the word knowing the right answer is not enough. Apostle Dale mentioned that you have to do what you know to do. Resisting the devil isn’t enough. It is the submission of God that has to be done. You got to learn how to bring the presence of the Lord into your day. Pray first before dealing with the problem. When you begin to worship you become one with the Lord. When thinking of a loved one who is gone is not why are they gone? Our thought process should be, how is it that He spared our lives? Worship is what we know to do. Apostle Dale read out of Luke 4:5-6, there are three key words to look at. That is Kingdoms, glory, and power.

Are you here as a consumer or as an employee of the Lord. We are in a consumer culture. When we are looking what the Kingdom can do for me instead of looking at what can I do for the Kingdom, we become ineffective for the Kingdom. Genesis 1:26, being fruitful. This is how some of us live today, we live satisfied with an occasional visit from the Lord. Instead of Him being involved in you life all the time. Pastor Sydney Ropp read out of John 15:8, and 1 Corinthians 3:9. Not everything done is going to last or stand the test of fire. There is going to be a testing of the works we do. Pastor Sydney read out of Matthew 7:1 Much better to judge yourself is better than having someone else to judge you. We have the privileged of examining ourselves. Deal with yourself first. Pastor Sydney read from Jude 1:12. Don’t yield to condemnation but, if your heart is pricking do pay attention. Anything that makes us uncomfortable is not always the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit pricks yours heart to bring you closer to the Lord. Prune mean cleansing. No man can remove you from the vine. He needs you Jesus the vine and you are the body. The fruit doesn’t grow on the vine. Produce much fruit, go from glory to glory. If you stay in the Word all week, then you wouldn’t come to church as a consumer. It is time to examine yourself when you start to feel dried up and withered. Abide in Him and produce much fruit. What is blocking between you and the vine.? Examine it and remove it. If you are not staying hooked up with Him in relationship all your are doing is a fruitless exercise. You have to abide in Him. It is a place of living not a visitation. God is priority!

Pastor Rocky Veach mentioned that God is calling us to cross over. Unlock the key to the religion began. He is always using you to reach other places. One will one purpose of God. God is steady and strong. Get your eyes back on Jesus. We’re just ministering to those who are called. Faith is the responsibility we have. Pastor Rocky read out of Hebrews 11, we are answering the call to stand out for God. It requires going to the other side. There is a time to be among them, time to be along side God, and a time to be on assignment. Don’t give yourself over to suggestions. Don’t believe everything you see or hear. Pastor Rocky read out of Hebrews 8 and referenced Hebrews 16, the church was defeated by their own success. Pastor Rocky had read from Hebrews 4:16 and referenced Acts 15.

Thursday May 2, 2019

Pastor Rocky Veach mentioned that we minimize God’s plan. Take advantage of what He has called us to do. To set the limits or the boundaries in advance. Jesus died to deliver us from our old nature. Rocky read from Hebrews 1. Rocky talked about how him and his wife almost had a divorce but, God had come through. The reason few are chosen is because there is time involved. You are chosen but, do you chose to be chosen? It comes down to words, to find out what it means and how it is used. You go into levels of sleep. Dreams usually have a lot to do with what is going on. We see through a glass darkly. God wants to talk to those who have a calling. We are not moving forward with the call. To cross over into a region beyond is what Hebrews mean. Abraham’s name got changed to Hebrew in Genesis 14. If we don’t pay attention to God we will not hear Him. Rocky references Romans 8. Much of the church is asleep. God is going to raise up a might people because they know their God. It is time to rise up in your call and in the authority of God. Hebrews start in the book of Psalms. Rocky referenced Psalms 110. Our call is a continuation of His call. We are not to do it alone. God has got His eye on you. He waits for the precious fruit of the earth.
Truth Not Tolerance
Sunday April 28, 2019
Listen
Karen Burrows talked about letting self decrease and God increase in our lives. She also mentioned that culture does not change the Bible. As the church we have become lukewarm. Churches are embracing sin and are saying that it is ok. Tolerance is not the Bible. It is the truth and love of God that sets the captive free. Karen mentioned that oil an water do not mix. We should not tolerate sin in our lives. We are to be seed planters. Karen read out of 2 Timothy 3:16. We got to draw the line in the sand. Love the sinner but, hate the sin. Karen read out of Hebrews 4 and 1 Timothy 1:2. You are responsible for how you live your life and how to grow up in God. Karen read out of 2 Timothy 4:2-5, Romans 10:8-10, Romans 14:11, and John 3:3.

Pastor Sydney Ropp read fro Psalm 107:17. Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law (613 laws). Then he read from Exodus 23:20, the covenant is conditional verse 26, no body dies young, no woman will lose their child. Deuteronomy 28:14If you break one law you break them all. The good news is that we don’t have to live under a curse. It is only that in Christ the curse is lifted. Pastor Sydney read out of Hebrews 8:6, a better covenant. You believe it to recieve where as the old one was that you had to earn it to deserve it. Pastor Sydney referenced John 17:4. He read from Romans 10:4, Christ is the end of that law. Christ is the law of love.The good news does no one any good if they don’t know about it. Pastor Sydney made a covenant to give John a $100. It does John no good because he was told that it was gifted to him but, it was not in his possession. In order for the covenant to be beneficial to him and to lead him to the way of the cross or where the $100 was. John was shown it but, he had the option to reach for it symbolism of his free will to choose Christ or not. It is our responsibility to show people the way. To be a disciple. Pastor Sydney read out of Luke 22:14 and 1 Corinthians 11:23.

The River of the Holy Spirit is flowing in this place. Where the Spirit of the Lord is there is freedom. Pastor Pradeep prayed of the congregation declaring liberty over lives, liberty over your children, and he declared liberty over your well being. Someone here that God is healing your mind right now, the healing power of God is coming upon you and He is touching your mind right now. Thoughts are going to be changed into holy thought and happy thinking. There was someone else that God is healing lower back pain. Someone else that God is healing the pain in the spine. Someone else where God is healing your neck and healing you completely. Someone had gotten report about chest pain. God is saying do not worry do not fret for I am the Healer. I have sent my word and I will heal every aliment an every disease. The breath of God is here. He will touch you, he will heal you, and he will restore you. There was someone that had a demonic attack and the work of God is crushing the enemy Pastor Pradeep continued to pray.
We are fools for Christ and you are going to be a winner. Where ever you go you may feel that it may not work out in the heathen world but, Got has got better plans. God is greater. Pastor Pradeep read from 2 Samuel 6:11. He mentioned that God is going to release hope into your life because of the Holy Spirit. The work of the Holy Spirit is that you choose to please God. When you choose to please God, God is pleased with you. Pastor Pradeep referenced Psalm 37:4, abundance was a word that had come to him. Luke 1:26-38 and 2 Peter 3:18, growing in grace. Grace means that God is with us. God wants to give us favor. In the book of Esther, Esther was going through a time period of purification. Issue of the heart. God is preparing our hearts so that we could deeper into the presence of the Lord. Esther prepared herself and came into the royal court and became a queen. Esther used that favor for Kingdom purposes. God will take you from glory to glory. The power of fasting and prayer does work with the word of God. Pastor Pradeep encourages us to wait on God. He mentions that the Lord is with us. Genesis 22:9 was read from. 1) Place of order, examine yourself and walk in the Spirit. 2) Waiting on God, it deals with and attitude of change, John 5:19. 3) The key, the Holy Spirit will come and overshadow you. Living in the overflow things don’t matter anymore. 1 King 19:19, be faithful where you are. 2 Kings 2:9, God will test us. God is releasing holy determination. Activation is happening as you are being ministered to. Pastor Pradeep gave a testimony about his wife being able to get pregnant.
We Are God’s Plan
Sunday April 7, 2019
Listen
Pastor Sydney Ropp mentioned “we are not waiting for the move of God. We are the move of God”. Pastor Sydney read out of Jonah 1. He mentioned that judgement is a real thing. We see things as being judgement that aren’t judgement at all. We should not be so quick to say that it was God’s judgement. Judgement is a decision. It is not smart to disobey something the Lord has told you to do. The fish was God’s mercy to Jonah. Matthew 12:40, show us that you are the son of God. Jonah 2:1, Jonah calls out from the dead. The pit means corruption. An idol is something you worship and anything that takes place before the Lord. Salvation is from the Lord. God is a God of unlimited chances. You and I have good new, you don’t have to die and go to hell. We have good news to take to the people.Jonah was clear on instruction and yet he chose not to do what the Lord told him to do. Not obeying the Lord is wrong.Pastor Sydney read from Mark 16:15 and Acts 1:8. What did you witness? You are suppose to tell that. Only if you open your mouth, there would be grace there to carry on a conversation with a person. The reason we are alive today, our purpose is to see people translated from the kingdom of darkness into the kingdom of light. The ministry of reconciliation, to relationship with the Father. It is easy to be hard on Jonah but, easy to for us to make an excuse for ourselves.

Pastor Sydney talked a little about abortion and encouraged us to go see Unplanned. He questioned what are we doing as a community to prevent abortion? We together are Church of the Word International. It is not enough just to pray. We have to put action to our prayer. Our job is to do the work of the ministry and it is Pastor Sydney’s job to feed us the Word. Kathleen English spoke about her experience with abortion and she encourages us that God restores time and what was lost. Mike Frede mentioned about how Ephesians 3:20, is encouraging for family to continue on. Pastor Sydney mentions that the Lord wants to empower us. We can’t walk on the water. His grace is there to empower us. Josh Shuman encourages to know who we are voting for to know whether or not the candidate is for abortion at any stage of life. Pastor Sydney mentioned that we have work to do and it is time for us to act. Let’s get out of the boat. He encourages us to do our research. What do we have available in this county? How might we act differently if we were the only church left in the community? Communion had taken place. It is more than just freeing you from your past. The time is now the season is now.
Jennifer Ropp read out of 2 Corinthians 9, God’s grace to abound in your finances. His able to make all help to abound to you. He supply seed to the sower, not the hoarder.
Mission Offering:
1 Corinthians 16 and Hebrews 10:19, boldness to enter in. All of has had a past that would send us to hell but, if it wasn’t for the blood of Jesus. All of us stand on equal ground. Temptation of wavering comes. Did I come to receive or to encourage and give?

Word given through Jim Dumont from the Lord:
” I am looking for those whom I may show myself strong on their behalf.Yea those who’s heart is set on pilgrimage.Those who’s eyes are set on higher things. Those things that are above. Yea, I am here saith the Lord and I will show myself strong in your life. Do not draw back do not stay the hand but, reach forward take more ground. Move ahead saith the Lord.Press deeper go for the things that are higher. Those things that are eternal and those things that are a blessing. Yea, you should be amazed what I will do. Do not try to reason your way through but, believe and walk with me saith the Lord. I will never fail thee nor forsake thee for I am with thee.”

Known As The Miracle Man
Saturday March 23, 2019
Listen
Jim spoke these words to Dale. “Those words which were spoken over your life, that were spoken over your life which you have seen manifest and fulfilled were from my lips and my heart saith the Lord. Yea, there is more yet to come there are greater assignments. There is more yet to do. Do not draw back do not stay thy hand. Be steady and unmovable. Though shalt continue to abound in the work of the Lord. Despise not small beginnings. Every beginning that is of Me saith the Lord has the seed of greatness and manifest life for many and miracles. So rejoice and be glad when I speak saith the Lord. For my word shall be fulfilled. It shall come to past. Rejoice and be glad and leap with joy and gladness for all that I have done and all that I shall do.”
Pam Dumont told the miracle of her husband and her walk with God. Pam mentioned that everywhere she went that Jesus was her friend. Pam tells a story of when her husband was found laying at the bottom of the hill unconscious. She mentioned that the bible says to call on the elders. A hundred people showed up to intercede. Pam thought that Jim was dead. She knew that if she let herself look at the situation she could have continued to think that Jim was dead or she could praise the Lord. She knew that she couldn’t let her emotions get to her. It is the overwhelming preciousness. The bible says that it is the renewing of your mind. After Pam was told that Jim had brain damage. Their grandchildren had prayed and sang over Jim. Jim had pushed through the coma and had come back and had a five day recovery in rehab. 1) The prayer of faith will save the sick man. 2) Jim had needed prayer of faith. His brain, the washing of the water of the word. We have lost the reverence of the Lord. Philippians 3:10, that we know Him. 3) To know Jesus in the power of His resurrection. It is easier to deal with junk in your life now rather than later. Pam referenced Hebrews 11:35. There are so many attributes of Jesus and we can have as much of Him as we want. So many people only know Jesus as savior and stop there, just enough to get into heaven. However, He is our redeemer, He is master, the way of truth an life, the bright and morning star, He is the Lamb of God, the Head of the church, our faithful and truth, and He is all these things and many more. Philippians 3:8, the overwhelming preciousness. One of the things that marks a devoted follower is the story can be told it is the sheep that is devoted to the Shepard. Those that look to Jesus will become radiant. Bring home those that He loves. He called for this season knowing what we are facing. For those who are radiant the world will come and be a path to your door. We cannot afford worry, anxiety, or pettiness.

Answered Prayer?
Sunday March 10, 2019
Listen
Apostle Dale Armstrong read out of Luke 18:1. Faint means to cave in of faint. People generally can’t stay committed to something that doesn’t produce results. How often would you pray if you saw results and what would you be praying? Prayer should fill our lives. Apostle Dale read out of John 15:1. Prayer keeps you in tune. The answers to prayer is associated to bearing fruit. There is a differentiation between the written word and the spoken word. We are to have communion with the Lord. Gather direction from the Holy Spirit. Apostle Dale read from Philippians 4:6. Worry could be turned into a prayer request. If we don’t pray enough eventually we will cave. What happens to people when prayers are answered? 1). People want to pray more. 2). You want to be with people who pray. 3). Presence of two or three successful prayer warriors sparks a revival. 4). Tangible sense of God’s action in their life, John 15:4-7. 5). A person’s prayers are answered consistently. If you do what you know to do, you’d be a whiz!
