Dear Members and Friends,
I want to make sure that you know that you are appreciated and that we value when you write to us. You take time to share
with us what God is doing in your life and how we can minister to you. You help us because we hear your words and know that
God is ministering to you even though you were not with us on Sunday morning. You received what we said. We minister one to
another. We are called ministers of reconciliation. God is with you and God is in you. God is pleased with you because you
are in Christ. God is not pleased with you because of your deeds but because of Him. So often
we focus on what we have or do not have. We focus on what is wrong in our life instead of focusing on what is right. God is
pleased with you. Does that feel good to hear? Is it something that sounds so good that you think to yourself that it cannot
be true. God is pleased with you- believe it for God said that He made you well pleasing in His sight. God did not say you
are pleasing to Him because of what you were able to accomplish. It is not what would Jesus do but what did Jesus do. It is
not about my striving to perfect what God crucified. God could not fix your flesh so what makes you think that you can. God
was only able to crucify your flesh and come and live in you so that he can move through you. He is a part of you and you
are a part of Him. You are one with God and God is well pleased with you. God has no problems with you. God is not mad at
you. God sees you as having all of your needs met with no lack. God does not see you as having any faults or failures. Do
you yell at a baby because you have to change the diaper. Is it the baby's fault that they cannot change their diaper.
God loves you and sees you as bride on her wedding day. God sees you as holy and perfect because He sees you through
the blood soaked stripes on Jesus back. He sees your substitute and not your flesh; you see your flesh and not your substitute.When
you see your substitute then you see God move in your life. This week let the substitution of God become big in
your life. Go and visit the pages here and read the sermons and devotionals Read the founder thoughts
and sayings. Read the blog. Let the Lord speak to you through every page and let God shine in your life through His grace.
Then write and tell us about it.

Welcome to the Word of Grace Fellowship Official Website!
This is one of the best places that you can come to learn of God's grace for we have been taught in His grace and are
sharing with you what our founder Pastor John Hogan instilled in us. God gave us a revelation of grace and we are sharing
with you what He has told us. Paul was given a special revelation of grace that no one else had then. We call this the Pauline
Revelation and it is written down in His books from Rom- Heb. Paul wrote 14 books of the Bible which is about 3x the number
of any other author in the NT. On this site you will see the grace of God displayed on every page. God
wants you to know that He is pleased with you and has sent you to us so that you might learn of it and be blessed and learn
how to walk in the freedom that only comes from Jesus Christ. Freedom is not a place but a mindset so you can be freer in
a jail cell then others are in their homes. Jesus made you free and He is pleased with you so come to him and learn how you
can receive all that He provided for you at Calvary. He is all that you need and when you come here then we pray that you
will see Jesus and be blessed. Our focus is not in what we do for we are only vessels, our focus is on what He did for He
is the Saviour and He paid for all that we need and did it all. Whatever you need go to Him and receive.
We do want to encourage you to visit all that is on this site and to be blessed by the many sections here. Read our messages
of our Asst Pastor and Pastor. Read the prophecies. Read all that is here and let it encourage you in the grace of God for
the more that God's grace is active in your life then the more that you will see God's power flow. If
you are in the NJ area then feel free to stop by for we would love to see you. YOU can go to our direction page so that you
can come and participate in a live service with us. We would love to meet with you and pray with you. Also sign up at the
bottom of this page for our email list so that we can send to you our weekly messages in your mailbox. Share our site
with others and walk in grace today!

Dear Friends,
I am constantly amazed that we cry out to God to keep us only to find out that in reality we already had what we needed we
just did not see it. God provided more for us then we realized and we do not even understand it. I am reminded of the time
that Elijah tells his servant that there are more with us then them. His servant cannot see it but the prophet can. God provided
for us all that we need in Jesus for He is all that we need. He does not provide part of our need and leave the rest up to
our ability to work and our talents. He provided all that we need. He gave us more then enough! Salvation is God skimping
on what we need but it is God giving us an abundance of provision for what we need ahead of time.
IS God going to provide what you need? YES! Is your need bigger then your provider? NO! See it is so easy to see our
need as bigger then our provider because every day we see that need in front of us. We go to the car and think I have to make
a payment next week how can I afford it. We look at the electric and see a heater on and think how can I afford it? We think
our debts but we do not allow ourselves the same chance to think about how God will provide. We do not go to the car and say
God gave me this so God what are you going to do about your car payment next week? Your child needs gas God, your child needs
this or that? Think not with your mind focusing on the lack but with your mind focusing on the provision.
Think by seeing the answer and when you see the provision it becomes easier to see the provider. When you see the lack then
you see your failures and shortcomings and focus on what you should have done or did not do. God is bigger then your ability
to screw up. Grace is greater then flesh. Grace is stronger then your flesh! God will provide! You might
think oh what do you know, you are on the internet and seem so happy, you preached on TV, you speak to ministers in other
countries so you do not know what it is like to lack! Yes I do know and I will tell you that God has not abandoned you but
God is for you! God is with you and God will never leave you or forsake you! Ministers have more problems not less! We are
responsible before God for other people so we are constantly in prayer and sometimes we are in prayer so much for others that
we do not take the time to pray for ourselves! God is with you and God will not leave you. Be assured of His provision!
I want to encourage you to go through our site and let God bless you! God is here on every page of this site. God is
in our teaching and sayings, and prophecies. God stamped this site with his presence so come and bathe in His grace so the
peace of God can soothe your mind from the pressures of life, so you may be blessed by the Provider Himself - Jesus Christ.
If you are blessed and want to bless us then go to our donation page and give to us as God leads you. We do not charge
you for viewing but we do need people to help us out monthly. Pray about becoming a partner so we can help others in other
nations. Pray about sending us in your stead so Pastor Don can go and minister to the nations that have asked him to come!
Pray that God will send laborers into the harvest! Pray that God will increase our fold so that we can go and share His blessing
to many more! Pray and bless God for God has blessed you in Jesus so give what you can to help us bless others in Jesus name!

Dear Friends and Visitors,
I want you to know that God is still here for God never leaves us or forsakes us. God is for us. That is much different from
the OT when God was mad at them and saw them through the work of their High Priest. If the HP did a good job then God was
pleased but if he did not then God was displeased. If God was displeased they knew because the HP was dead. The HP had to
do everything right and not miss in one point or he died. How would you like that today? What if you had to get a 100 to pass
the test or you would never be promoted and could never advance with your class.
Wasn't that mean of God to demand perfection! God still does! The difference is that now Jesus kept the law for us so
when God sees us He sees our Substitute! Jesus did everything right so we have assurance that when we come to God that God
will be pleased and that He will no longer be mad at us. God is happy with you! IS this a novel thought for you that God can
be happy with you or do you think that God can only be mad at you! Do you see yourself through your faults and failures or
do you see yourself through what Jesus did for you! The vast majority of Christians
see themselves through what they think they need to do to be right with God. They take this OT mentality and apply it to their
NT relationship and you cannot put old wine in new wine skins or new wine in old wine skins. In either case the result is
the same. Listen carefully to what is being proclaimed, and see if it performance based or love based. God does not relate
to you based on your performance, God relates to you based on Jesus performance. Jesus paid the price for your admittance
into the Kingdom of God. Jesus saved you from God so HE could bring you to the Father. Jesus took the wrath of God for you
so that you can experience the love of God. We here at Word of Grace do not
teach a performance based religious mindset. We teach that our mindset with God is based on faith and not on our works. It
is based on God's works. Isa 26:12; Jn 3:21, Jn 6:29 indicate this just to name a few. Our works are wrought in God. God
does the work through us. It is his work, faith, love, grace, power, righteousness, holiness, sanctification, redemption etc.
It all belongs to Him for He is the one giving it to us. Now in the series I am doing we are looking right now at our inheritance
in Christ. The focus is in what Christ did for us and not in what we should do to make ourself acceptable to Him.
I will not add to His work nor can I. He did a finished work. He did all that was needed
before God. To say that I have to add to it, makes His work ineffectual. I will not diminish the work of Jesus! I will however,
receive it with Joy! Go through this website and let it free you from the failure minded consciousness that comes from the
letter of the law. You are no longer a sinner so see yourself apart from sin. Separate yourself from Sin and Reconcile yourself
to God! Separate yourself from Sin by changing your mindset from a person who has to please God to one who has already pleased
God. You have pleased God so walk in His power and love as you go through this site and be blessed today by the Words of His
Grace!

Welcome to Word of Grace Fellowship Ministries! Here we are dedicated to the ministry
of the gospel of grace and to teach that one who is born again has been made the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus. We
teach the uncompromising word of grace and righteousness. Right now we are more of a fellowship of like-minded believers whose
lives have been changed by the message of grace then a church. God has been a source of constant strength and comfort to us,
as He continues to separate us from the mindset of traditional Christianity. As you go through our pages remember that God's focus is what did Jesus do, not what would Jesus do. Jesus came
to die so that by His death we could be made right with God. Once we were made right with God then God could come to live
in us so we could be made one body with Jesus. God finds no fault in us, for when He sees us He sees Jesus. This is the reality
of who we are as a new man in Jesus Christ. We at Word of Grace believe that
God includes women in the ministry and that God has given to every born again child of his the ministry of reconciliation,
to go and bring in the lost to the kingdom of God. We pray that as
you read these pages that you will be ministered to and want to know more about us. Please feel free to contact us for we
would welcome the opportunity to minister God's grace to you. May you learn about His grace and grow in the knowledge
of righteousness, so that you too can walk in the freedom of Jesus Christ!
