This ministry is dedicated to freely giving to others, what God has given to us!
Isaiah 55:1-3 is the basis for us pouring ourselves out unselfishly for the cause of Christ!
1
“Is anyone thirsty? Come and drink—even if you have no money! Come, take
your choice of wine or milk—it’s all free! 2 Why spend your money
on food that does not give you strength? Why pay for food that does you no good? Listen
to me, and you will eat what is good. You will enjoy the finest food. 3
“Come to me with your ears wide open. Listen, and you will find life. I will make
an everlasting covenant with you. I will give you all the unfailing love I promised to David.
Our growing concern, as we soberly and prayerfully watch the landscape of Christendom, is that curious seekers and condemning onlookers
of the Christian faith, actually have ammunition against the leadership of the church - because of the blatant merchandising
of the gospel for personal gain that has falsely been labeled the "prosperity gospel".
We
believe in God prospering His people -as much as we believe that God's way of doing it, is NOT on the backs
of the emotional givers and misguided followers - who are actually not prospering because they're
giving for the WRONG reasons.
The Gospel of Jesus Christ includes the promise "that we would
prosper, and be in health, as our soul prospers"! God absolutely wants us to prosper (according to His will)
- but not at the expense of crooked practices, unfair dealing, and false balances
operating in many faith-based circles.
The Father neither condones the greed and corruption that is seen
through close encounters with these personalities, or is He pleased by the obvious mistreatment of God's precious
sheep, through these so-called spiritual leaders.
Now, many doctrines of demons freely
operate where the Kingdom of God is misunderstood – and where the politics of churchianity shuts-out the
spirit of unity and agreement, which we are supposed to walk in, so that all of God's people benefit from the
"inheritance in the saints" without constantly encountering the dominating profit motives and blatant profiteering
as the focus!
Sadly, the "qualifications for spiritual leaders" has become more of a political
escapade for ruling spirits and pervasive darkness
to work through these leaders - by rejecting the called, and welcoming the hirelings and false representatives,
who wreak of flaming egos and consuming appetites. But, the real leaders
seem to war to get their message heard, and struggle for the resources they actually need to help the hurting amongst
them. THIS IS ALL ABOUT TO CHANGE! Read James, the 5th chapter - and stand in awe
of God's great plan for the end times!

THE MINISTRY OUTREACH
"Blessed
are the pure in heart, for they shall see God." Matt. 5:8 (NKJV)
Mission:
A. To help resolve issues
of complacency and fragmentation amongst believers, while bringing unity to Body of Christ by spreading the gospel truth through
teaching the whole counsel of God's Word, music evangelism, community & economic development initiatives, and nonprofit
organizational development consultation. To exemplify Christ in our daily living and Kingdom responsibilities, as stated
in Romans 12:1-5, vs. 5 . . . "so we, being many, are one body in Christ and individually members of one another."
Also, in John 14:9, the Bible says,"He who has seen me has seen the Father." God wants us to walk
consumed with His attributes and character, testifying to all of His mighty power while demonstrating it to the world.
1)
Diagnosis: Disunity (Gen. 11:1-9; Is. 54:16-17, Jer. 29:14, Lev. 25:10)
2) Problem: Pride
(Prov. 6:16-19, 17:15, 18:12, 30:12)
3) Medication: Repentance (II Chron. 7:14; Prov. 6:20-23, Eze. 18:31, Acts 17:30)
4) Treatment:
Heart Transplant (Gen. 6:5-8, 8:20-22; Ps. 34:18, 51:10, Is. 66:2, Joel 2:13)
5) Therapy: Word of God
(Ps. 119:9-16, Matt. 5:18, Col. 3:16, Is. 40:8)
a) Heed b) Hide c) Herald d) Hearken
6) Resolution:
Unity (I Cor. 1:10, 12:4-31, Phil. 1:27, John 17:21, Eph. 2:14, Ps. 133:1-3)
B. To minister Christ's message
of love and restoration to the State of Israel's hurting, forgotten, oppressed, displaced, and broken-hearted, (Is. 61:1-7),
vs. 7 . . . " instead of shame you shall have double honor, and instead of confusion they shall rejoice in their
portion. Therefore, in their land, they shall possess double; everlasting joy shall be theirs." (NKJV)
As we, the church, focus on obtaining God's divine perspective concerning His Chosen people, the Jews, and act as advocates,
we can also operate in His divine purpose and help to restore broken lives in our spiritual homeland.
Purpose:
1) Build God's House: THE
CHURCH - THE BODY OF CHRIST
*
God's house characterizes our relationships, our responsibility, and our realm of influence. If we build the house,
we labor in vain that build it. God must build the house through us as we yield ourselves to Him, so that we might become
a spiritual and holy habitation unto the Lord.
2) Cleanse Every Heart: THE CHRISTIAN'S WARFARE
* God opens up heaven's windows to the pure and contrite heart. Unless we each
lay aside the hurts of our past, we cannot receive the promise of our future.
3) Restore Every Head:
CHRIST - THE HEAD OF THE CHURCH
* The "Head" symbolizes God's ecclesiastical
order for the church, His divine vertical order for the family, and His hierarchical order for society and the world.
God is restoring; Shepard's' after His own heart, men to become accountable and responsible for their families, and
the Body of Christ to be the kingdom conquerors He's called us to be. The State of Israel must become a mission's
priority for every church!
4) Heal Every Home: THE CONDUCT OF THE BELIEVER
* Let God's "glory" rest on each home through our obedience, our service, and
our commitment to walking in righteousness with a kingdom mentality. God's glory is incalculable, incommunicable
and inestimable. It is when we understand the weightiness and transcendence of His person that we understand His absolute
distinctiveness and awesomeness. With this ultimate reality in mind, we liberally allow Him to do whatever He purposes
for us as His "blank page".
5) Help For Every Sinner: ONE BODY - MANY PARTS
* We believe our mission is God's "Great Commission", and believe our
strength is in fostering biblical discipleship teachings in local churches. Through practical, creative and inspired
methods, we can help the local church to disciple and assist the growth of every believer in Christ's authority and power.
But, a new appreciation and synergy must be created as the church integrates its outreach efforts and builds the global shield
of faith.
