Statement of Beliefs

1. The Apostles Creed

I believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth.

I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried; he descended to the dead.

On the third day he rose again; he ascended into heaven, he is seated at the right hand of the Father, and he will come to judge the living and the dead.

I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy Catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting.

Amen.

2. Ephesians 4:11

And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;
¹² For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:
¹³ Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ:

Mission Statement

Our mission statement is compiled from the two following scriptures with one biblical theme.

1st Peter 2:9

But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.

1st Timothy 1:8

I want men everywhere to lift up holy hands in prayer, without anger or disputing

Our mission is to:

1. Explain royal priesthood as expressed by the Lord from the Bible to enable all believers to first understand the term ‘A Royal Priesthood’ and its forms of expression in our New Testament time frame.

2. Instruct how we all can implement a life that reflects this priesthood way of life before a world trapped in darkness.

We believe in the need to fulfill the desire of both New Testament Apostles to call believers to become a royal priesthood who are able to lift up holy hands in service to the Lord.

It is our prayer that the result of this effort is Ephesians 4:14 & 15

(14) That we (All Believers) henceforth be no more children,
tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine,
by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;
(15) But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ:

Ministry Authority

Any authority that we received from the Lord is as Mark 9:38 - 40

“Teacher,” said John, “we saw a man driving out demons in your name and we told him to stop, because he was not one of us.”

“Do not stop him,” Jesus said. “No one who does a miracle in my name can in the next moment say anything bad about me, for whoever is not against us is for us.

I tell you the truth, anyone who gives you a cup of water in my name because you belong to Christ will certainly not lose his reward.

Ministerial Focus

Offering Prophetic Input to the Body of Christ locally and then out to the World as lead by the Holy Spirit.

This includes individuals, families, and church communities as the Lord allows.

We have been given a lifetime of training and discipline to obey the voice of the Holy Spirit. When this training was combined over time with the giftings and callings to a prophetic ministry, we were then sent to the Body of Christ.

Giving prophetic input as directed by the Holy Spirit ranging from the obvious, (what can easily be seen in the Spirit realm), to the hidden and deep things of the Lord,

(what can not easily be seen in the Spirit realm).

This is where prayer and intercession will be required before the Holy Spirit will reveal much that will go to the root of a problem, condition or need.

(Reference: Mathew 17:21 & Mark 9:29)

We must mention that…

1. All prophetic actions are done to respect the privacy and integrity of individuals and communities.

2. All prophetic actions are subject to testing and evaluation.

(Reference: St Paul’s 1st Epistle to the Believers in the city of Corinth, in Greece1st Cor 14: 29 – 33

²⁸If there is no interpreter, the speaker should keep quiet in the church and speak to himself and God.
²⁹Two or three prophets should speak, and the others should weigh carefully what is said.
³⁰And if a revelation comes to someone who is sitting down, the first speaker should stop.
³¹For you can all prophesy in turn so that everyone may be instructed and encouraged.
³²The spirits of prophets are subject to the control of prophets.
³³For God is not a God of disorder but of peace.

Teaching the Word of the Lord

We are called to bring knowledge about the sacred writings as revealed by the Messiah himself. It is recorded in the gospels that from the time he was 12 until the day he was impaled to the Roman cross that he was continually teaching with authority that no other Rabbi or scribe had in that generation.

Two or three prophets should speak, and the others should weigh carefully what is said. And if a revelation comes to someone who is sitting down, the first speaker should stop. For you can all prophesy in turn so that everyone may be instructed and encouraged. The spirits of prophets are subject to the control of prophets. For God is not a God of disorder but of peace.

Shepherding the prophetic

Being acutely aware of the probability that an individual that is prophetically gifted can need pastoral attention that is more specialized to the individual and his or her circumstances vs. an average member of a community.

We offer several levels of personal shepherding in conjunction with the local pastoral staff. We realize that the key to any pastoral efforts is relationship. Specifically a relationship built on trust and respect. This places this ministry in an accountable role to the local pastoral staff and to the believer in question.

A prophetic believer can often tax the local pastoral staff and be difficult for the local body of believers to understand. Bringing a trusted prophetic mentor to explore the calling and giftings of a believer offer alternative usually not available in a local community.

We must realize that many prophetic gifted individuals are just that, gifted, but they do not have the call to the office of a prophet at any level. Or, we may encounter an individual who does have a prophetic call to some level of office but needs personal character development first.

In the recent past, the Body of Christ has experienced many anointed individuals, who had a destiny or calling to the office of a prophet. This calling could range from a local community, city, region, state or nationally. A majority of those who reached public recognition of their ministry did not poses a character that was disciplined enough to walk out the calling in their private lives, let a lone public ministry.

A pastor with personal experience about one such individual stated bluntly, “He was a character, using the giftings of God without discipline and integrity”.

You will notice that we offer specialized courses with crazy titles that were born from original situations that we have walked through to assist the local pastoral staff in maturing their prophetically gifted members on our line card.

2. A Para-church ministry to assist the local church in developing their members to become mature disciples of the Messiah. We believe this is a life goal for all believers. We want to attain a level of maturity that meets the following scriptural standard.

Please reference Hebrews 6:1-3

Therefore let us leave the elementary teachings about Christ and go on to maturity, not laying again the foundation of

Repentance from acts that lead to death,
And of faith in God,
Instruction about baptisms,
The laying on of hands,
The resurrection of the dead,
And eternal judgment.

3. And God permitting, we will do so.

We agree with the writer of the Epistle to the Hebrews (Messianic Jews)
