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
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.
What Does It Mean To Be Pro-Life
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.
Known As The Miracle Man
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.
Faith That Finishes
Answered Prayer?
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.

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!

Ephesians 2:4, abundant in mercy because of His great love. So, when people ask for mercy they are looking for the answer to the problem that they are up against. We will have trouble but, be of good cheer. Go in His authority. Ask the Lord for mercy, His grace and compassion has come upon you. Pastor Sydney read from Mark 5:1.

Faith will make you do interesting things. You don’t have to waiver. When you drop a rock in the water, you never know how far the ripples will travel.

It is called a shield of faith. Put up the shield of faith, defensive. You learn that healing is for your. You begin to learn that you can live in abundance.The tide of the battle turns when you begin to fight and do what God has created you to do. 1) What is faith and what is not faith? 2) How is faith developed? Romans 12 states that God has given faith to everyone. 3) How is faith applied? We need to examine our faith and we need to know when we get out of faith. Faith is not understood. Faith is based on us looking to God. You may know something and it may not be right. Apostle Dale read out of Romans 1:16 and Romans 10:17. We need to hear with our ears.
