A Word Just For You
There is a Word from God just for you. Once you find, beleive, and speak that Word, it will supernaturally empower you and release the Blessing of God in your life.
INHERITING THE PROMISES
That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises. (Hebrews 6:12)
As I observe the condition the world is in and how it has defiled the American Church, I see a disturbing reality in the body of Christ.
We have become slothful. Not slothful in our labor and work ethic. In fact the American Dream offers an opportunity to all Americans, no matter your race or sex. It is the opportunity and belief that if you work hard you will attain your dreams.
If you pull yourself up by your boot straps, and work by the sweat of your brow, no matter what you encounter you can work your way through to success.
The only problem is, no matter how noble this is, this belief is not Gods best for you. God never intended for you to live by the sweet of your brow. In fact this is part of the curse. (Genesis 3:17-19)
No we have become slothful in living our lives by faith. We have substituted living by faith, with living by a hard work ethic. We have turned our faith into a religion based on works, and labor, thus performing for, and trying to earn the blessing of God.
Romans 1:17 declares "For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith."
In God's Word are promises He has given to us. These promises impact every area of our lives.
Look at what 2 Peter 1:4 tells us; "Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust."
God's promises impart His divine nature, His blessing, His life, His ability, His provision, His deliverance, His salvation into every area of your life.
Look at Deuteronomy 28:1-2. Here we read: "And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the Lord thy God, to observe and to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that the Lord thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth: And all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the Lord thy God."
The work we are to do, is to diligently labor in the Word of God. Find out what He has promised us, and then through faith and patience inherit, or take these promises as ours.
There is a promise from God that will cover every aspect of your life. We need to find these promises. Put them in our hearts, and believe them.
Jesus said in Mark 11:24 "What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them and ye shall have them."
What are we to believe? We are to believe that we receive. That is what faith is. Believing we receive.
We are to be diligent at believing we receive the promises of God. Once we believe we received, then we are to allow patience to work. Patience allows our faith to manifest what God has promised us.
Now I am not advocating not working with our hands. In fact the Word of God tells us in Ephesians 4:28 "....: but rather let him labour, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth."
We must be willing to work with our hands the thing that is good, so that we have something to give, not to just provide for our family. God is our provider, and we must spend our time diligently seeking Him to see how He has chosen to provide for life.
There is a better way to live. Lets be diligent in seeking out His Word. Lets be a people who live by faith, not by works. As we believe His Word, we will see His blessing go to work in our lives causing us to rise above and live victoriously in this earth.
THE ANSWER
“And
Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God.” (Mark 11:22)
Jesus made a
statement here in Mark 11:22 which is THE answer to your life.
Jesus Christ, Who is our Master, Lord and Savior, in one profound yet simple statement, gave us the answer that we would have for any
question, challenge, desire, hope or dream in our life.
The answer is; HAVE FAITH IN GOD.
Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas to all of our family, freinds, and partners. I pray Gods Blessing be active in your life as we celebrate the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ this Christmas season.
GRACE OR WORKS
Ephesians 2:5-9 "...even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, that in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast. "
There is an identity crisis in the world today. This identity crises is not only in unbelievers, but it is in the body of Christ as well. A good example of this mentality is demonstrated in the Israelites, when God delivered them out of Egypt. Gods children lived for 400 years in Egypt, and during this time, they were placed in bondage. They became the slaves of Egypt.

As a result, a slave mentality began defiling their hearts. With each passing generation this slave mentality became stronger and stronger. Even though the Israelites witnessed miracle after miracle in their deliverance, they still were not able to believe what God had said.
When they crossed the Red Sea, and entered into their journey through the wilderness, which was suppose to be only an 11 day journey, they ended up staying there for 40 years. Why, because of their identity of being a slave. When it became difficult for them in the wilderness, they asked to go back to Egypt. Their works mentality, their slave identity kept them bound. As a result a whole generation never experience the blessing of the promised land.
The only reason the next generation of Israelites found their way out of that slave mentality, a works mentality, is because they choose to believe Gods grace, His promise, His salvation! They changed their identity.
Most people, Christians alike, are the same way today. We have generations of influence defiling our hearts with a works mentality. This works mentality has defiled the preaching of the gospel of Jesus Christ. We now have forms of performance based Christianity being preached across our pulpits every Sunday.
We still are trying to earn the right to approach God. We still don't know who we really are. We are still trying to earn the right for His blessing. We are trying to make deals with Him to get Him to do something for us. As a result we are not entering into our Promised land.
The Gospel of Jesus Christ is not one of works, but of grace. Our identities are so bound to our earning the right to have and enjoy life, that we miss out on the blessing of eternal life that God has promised His Children right here, right now.
John 3:16 tells us;"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever should BELIEVE on him, should not perish, but HAVE EVERLASTING LIFE (Zoe life, or the life of God)."
When do we have this life? Right now! How do we receive this life? Not by earning it, or working for it, but by simply believing on JESUS!
Grace is a gift, it is not something you earn. Grace is something that you receive.
Grace is a gift, it is not something you earn. Grace is something that you receive.
Here is a question I ask people, "When were you saved?" Many times they tell me the day they prayed the prayer of salvation, which seems religiously correct. But is that really the truth? Because if it is, then your salvation is based on you praying the right prayer, instead of what God did through Jesus Christ.
In my street witnessing efforts, I have had fellow brothers and sisters in the Lord criticize me and others who are out there reaching the lost, on the type of prayer people have prayed. They are so critical of the type of words and phrases used, that they judge these precious children of God as not saved. These same people look for some emotional response or dramatic turn around in that persons life to determine the validity of their salvation. Why do they do this? Because they believe you and I have to earn our salvation some how. They have the wrong perception, and have their identities rooted in a slave mentality, a works perception of salvation.
Look at Ephesians 2:8 again; "..by grace you have been saved.." What did it say? BY GRACE YOU HAVE BEEN SAVED. The word "have" here is past tense, meaning this salvation has already happened. You are not saved by your prayer, or by your behavior. The truth is GRACE SAVED YOU.
So what is grace? It simply is the act of Jesus dying on the cross for your sin. And then making you right with God, with His righteousness.

So what is grace? It simply is the act of Jesus dying on the cross for your sin. And then making you right with God, with His righteousness.
You and I had nothing to do with our salvation. You and I were saved when Jesus died for us, not when we prayed. If we were saved when we prayed then our salvation would be based on our work of praying, and not based on the work of Grace, the work of Jesus dying on the cross for our sins.
Jesus did it! Its over. He did the work.
Ephesians 2:8 says; "...through faith..." We receive, or take ownership of our salvation through the avenue of faith. I know its hard for some of you, but the truth is we simply believe in our heart, that's it. When we begin believing Gods grace, and getting our identity in the finished work of Christ, that's when we will begin experiencing our promised land of Gods blessing. Thats when you begin to experience your true freedom in Christ.
HEALING THE BROKENHEARTED SERVICE FEBRUARY
Saturday FEBRUARY 28TH at 7pm
INTERNATIONAL WORD FELLOWSHIP CHURCH
827 4TH Ave NE Austin MN 55912
"THE TIME FOR SUPERNATURAL LIVING IS NOW"
"The Spirit of the Lord is upon me because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor, he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted...." - Luke 4:18
"The Spirit of the Lord is upon me because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor, he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted...." - Luke 4:18
JESUS SAID HE WAS SENT TO HEAL YOUR HEART!
WILL YOU LET HIM?
WILL YOU LET HIM?
"Behold I stand at the door and know: If any man hear my voice, and open the door. I will come in to Him, and will sup with him and he with me." (Rev 3:20)JESUS IS STANDING AT THE DOOR OF YOU HEART, WILL YOU LET HIM IN?
Do you know how to let Him in?
Most in the body of Christ have no idea what it means to have a broken heart. And yet, our hearts are the very place where we need the healing presence of the Father and His Word.
Many of us have been wounded in our heart for so long that we have formed strongholds (walls of thoughts that exalt themselves against the knowledge of Christ).
These walls of false beliefs keep us in prison, separating us from experiencing the supernatural life and love that God has provided for his children.
Only God through Jesus Christ can destroy these strongholds, heal our wounds, and open those prison doors.
Come and experience the powerful, loving ministry of Pastor Rory Synoground. Pastor Rory ministers the Word of God with a healing anointing that will impact your life for ever.
Make sure you make plans now to begin attending these Saturday Night meetings.
