What We Teach
TRUTH
We believe the Holy Bible is God's Word. The Bible we now
read is directly inspired by God and recorded by men as a guide to daily living. Because of its divine inspiration, the Bible
is infallible. Therefore, anything that contradicts the Scriptures cannot be true, regardless of its origin. The Bible reveals
the direct commandments, nature, and will of God. The Holy Spirit then teaches us to understand the Word of God, and corrects
us when we err. We believe that through faith, the Holy Spirit and the study of God's Word, each individual has an opportunity
to know God through a personal relationship and claim eternal life. This ministry strives to preach the truth, according to
the scriptures and without regard to tradition, denomination or theological theory.
"And ye shall
know the truth, and the truth shall make you free" (John 8:32).
SALVATION
We believe salvation is a gift from God. It cannot be earned
or purchased. Salvation is free because of the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Because of His sacrifice, we
are able to be saved from sins, and ultimately from death and hell. This ministry is dedicated to preaching the Gospel to
the lost. It is our desire to see souls saved as individuals commit their lives to Christ and receive the gift He has already
supplied.
"That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus,
and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved" (Romans 10:9).
DELIVERANCE
Many Christians today are bound by legalism within organized
religion. We believe that Christians should be free, according to the Word of God, from deceitful doctrine and legalistic
ordinances. Many of us have difficulty following the commandments of Christ. How much more difficult it must be to follow
the religious commands of man as well! This ministry strives to teach Christians a life of prayer, fasting, personal study
and communion with the Lord. It is our belief that only the indwelling of God's Holy Spirit coupled with true consecration
will enable us to know and obey the Word of God. The Holy Spirit will also give us the wisdom to discern God's truth from
man's tradition and doctrine.
"And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment
of God, that ye may keep your own tradition" (Mark 7:9).
In the same manner, we believe the powers of darkness are
limited to what God's people allow and tolerate. So, this ministry also takes an active part in deliverance, for both the
saved and the unsaved. We have power over the enemy, given to us through the Holy Spirit and by Christ Jesus. Therefore, we
exercise this power to cast out demons, heal the sick and perform other miracles of power as given to us through the Spirit
of God.
"And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name
shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; they shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing,
it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover" (Mark 16:17-18).
HOLINESS
We believe the Father has called His people to live holy
lives, pure from the sins and practices of this world. Therefore, this ministry emphasizes the need of each believer to seek
a personal relationship with God, living a holy and repentent lifestyle before our Heavenly Father.
"Sanctify yourselves therefore, and be ye holy: for I am
the Lord your God" (Leviticus 20:7).
"I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God,
that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed
to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable and
perfect, will of God" (Romans 12:1-2).
"Follow peace with all men, and HOLINESS, without which
no man shall see the Lord" (Hebrews 12:14)
POWER
We believe the Father has equipped His people for spiritual
battle. Jesus, His only Son, gave His life for our redemption and sent a Comforter, the Holy Spirit to teach and empower us,
that we may be pleasing in His sight. For this reason, we are able to claim victory in every area of our lives. This ministry
believes in utilizing this power and teaching others to do the same. God's people are not defeated, but we are overcomers,
in Jesus' name! We have been empowered to take the Gospel to to world, and we intend to do just that!
"But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is
come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria,
and unto the uttermost part of the earth" (Acts 1:8).
"For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and
this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith" (1 John 5:4).
