OUR MISSION

 

1 The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;

 

2 To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn;

 

3 To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified.

 

4 And they shall build the old wastes, they shall raise up the former desolations, and they shall repair the waste cities, the desolations of many generations.  Isa. 61: 1-4 KJV

 

This scripture is repeated by Jesus in Luke 4:18-19.

 

The spiritual heart of man is mentioned over 450 times in scripture.  Proverbs 4:23 says, “Keep thy heart with all diligence for out of it are the issues of life”.   Could a “broken heart” (spiritual heart dis-ease) be the cause of most diseases in the lives of God’s children today?

 

Sickness and disease are running rampant in the church (spirit, soul, body, finances and covenant relationships).  Marital and family crisis, pornography, adultery, divorce, spousal abuse, child abuse, drug and alcohol addictions in the world are statistically the same in the church. THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THAT PICTURE!! 

 

Could the root cause be broken-hearted Christians?  Deut. 28:15 calls sickness and disease a curse.  Proverbs 26:2 says the curse causeless doesn’t come.  Gal. 3:13 says Jesus redeemed us from the curse of the law, which is poverty, sickness and death.

 

Sickness and disease spiritually, mentally, emotionally, physically, financially and relationally (covenant relationships) are evidences of the curse; not the blessings of Abraham that Galatians 3:13 clearly states the believer should walk in.  You cannot appropriate and have faith in what you don’t know about.  Hosea says the consequences of lacking knowledge can destroy the believer, their ministry and affect their children adversely. Hosea 4:6 may give us the reason many Christians aren’t able to appropriate their redemption.  Isaiah 61 suggests devastation is the result of broken hearts and by healing the broken heart, we can see healing, deliverance, and a renewal of a deeper, more intimate relationship with God.
