Church of the Word Lancaster, Pennsylvania

She asks the question: How are we living between the Cross and the Return of the Lord? One way we are to live is by being separate from the kingdom of darkness, the world, and death, and being separated to the Word and the Lord (John 17:17; 2 Corinthians 6:14-18). God not only forgives your sin, but He forgets them. After salvation, you need to repent when you sin, be water baptized, and be baptiz...

Pastor Syd addresses the issue of being a hireling or an heir, a bond slave or a love slave. Hirelings work for their pay. They trade their time for something, and when things get risky, they run away. (John 10:11-13) In service to the Lord, a person serves because they love the Master. Do not serve the Lord as a business transaction. Bond slaves do not have a choice in the matter. They serve out...

Pastor Syd teaches on Romans 4. Abraham was justified by faith, not by what he did. Satan's masterpiece is the Pharisee, the self-righteous one. Abram believed God, therefore God considered him right. It was credited (the right to get something; someone else does something for you in your place; it's because God is right) to Abram for righteousness, while he was uncircumcised. The time of God's gi...

Andrew Taylor is the founder of the APT Foundation, and his wife, Anne, is the founder of Door of Hope. He ministers in Indonesia, India, Australia, Fiji, and the South Pacific islands. He preached on the "Nine P's in the Life of Joseph." They come from Genesis 37, 39-47. The first one is privilege, as Joseph was the favored son. We are favored by God. The second one: the pit, where God was workin...

How do we cast our cares on the Lord? We pray with all kinds of prayer, such as intercession, agreement, dedication, and petition. Do not worry or get into fear. We need to pray. Cast your cares on the Lord for He cares for you (1 Peter 5:7-9). Satan seeks whom he may devour, but we are the objects of God's love. Satan roars but don’t be afraid with cares, worries, concerns, and anxieties. Be care...

Paul wrote the letter to the Romans on his third missionary trip. He was on his way to Jerusalem and wanted to be there by Pentecost. It addresses the Jewish and Gentile believers, first telling the guilt of the Jews and then the Gentiles and finally, of everyone. He preached the gospel to believers. He told them to tell the good news. God communicates with our spirits. We are spirit beings having...

Where the Church gets if Power from.

(When you serve the Lord by serving others, expect to be watered back by the Lord and His people.) The word "grace" (favor, thanks) appears 156 times in the New Covenant. Do we understand it? What is grace? The dictionary says that it is unmerited favor. We incorrectly use grace and mercy interchangeably. Pastor demonstrated the grace of God using a bright flashlight. It enables you to see things,...

God is not stressed by the things that are happening in the world now. Our covenant is better than Elisha's, when God took care of him. Because of our covenant and because we have the Spirit of God in us, we have access to Him all the time. You can hear from the Lord for yourself. Elisha knew the plans of the king of Aram by hearing from the Lord (2 Kings 6:8-17). In retaliation, the king sent a h...

Jesus said that it was better than He go away (John 15:26; 16:7). He would empower us two ways. One way was within us through salvation, and the second way was on us, to empower us to be witnesses and to make us a blessing to others. There is a top-line, working in you and a bottom-line, working on you to make you a blessing. Because of Abraham in Genesis 12, God said that all families on earth wi...

"Preppers" are people who prepare for something bad that is to happen. Have you prepared for end times? Hard times will come in the last days (2 Timothy 3:1-5). Why do people prepare? They prepare out of fear, or because they see danger coming. Failing to prepare is preparing to fail. Prepping in the natural has definite limitations. Our prepping needs to be in the spiritual, seeing God as our Sou...

Everyone can create an atmosphere that brings in the presence of the Holy Spirit. 1 Corinthians 12:11. How do we do that? We can do it by ministering to the Lord through praise and prayer (Psalm 22:3; 1 Timothy 2:8; Acts 16:9-10, 25). Envy, strife, offenses, and trespasses change the atmosphere for the negative (James 3:16; 1 Peter 3:9). We must believe that we receive our requests when we pray an...

Prophet Bob Hawk shared God's word to Colorado CWI from 10/14/21, which applies to the Landisville CWI body, too. He prophesied a major shift to the nation, and a major change and rearranging of the church. Harvest time has come. God's people will become refreshed, renewed, and refocused. Their goal will be to do His purpose. This is preparation for the end-time church (the people). 2 Chronicles 7...

Matthew 7:24 is about two foundations, one like a wise man and one a fool. The one like a wise man is the one who hears and does Jesus' sayings, which is building on the rock. It is not always easy to do the wise thing, but act on what God says, or you will learn from the consequences of the experience. Learn from others in the Bible. A storm is coming. Prepare for it by building on God's Word- fo...

Pastor Syd preaches a word from the Lord for this time. God [will vomit out] the lukewarm church like Laodicea of Revelation 3:14-21. Ezekiel 37:1-14 is the text. There were three levels of the dry bones coming to life. The dry bones heard the word of the Lord prophesied to them. Ezekiel first prophesied that the bones come together. Then he prophesied to the breath in Ezekiel 37:9. They were a st...
