Mission/Vision
We choose to partner with God in training up His End Times Army as directed by Scripture and Holy Spirit:
- 1 Corinthians 3:9 – For we labor with God and you are the crop and the building of God.
- John 4:34-38 – Jesus said to them, “My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me, and to finish His work. Do you not say, ‘There are still four months and then comes the harvest’? Behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes and look at the fields, for they are already white for harvest! And he who reaps receives wages, and gathers fruit for eternal life, that both he who sows and he who reaps may rejoice together. For in this the saying is true: ‘One sows and another reaps.’ I sent you to reap that for which you have not labored; others have labored, and you have entered into their labors.”
- Proverbs 22:6 – Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is mature he will not depart from it. (New believers)
- Isaiah 1:16-17 – “Wash yourselves, make yourselves clean; put away the evil of your doings from before My eyes. Cease to do evil, learn to do good; seek justice, rebuke the oppressor; defend the fatherless, plead for the widow.
- Romans 8:1 – There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.
- 2 Timothy 2:15 – Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
We Believe
We believe there is only one God, in three persons: the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Three persons of one substance equal in power and glory. God is the Eternal King. He is an infinite, unchangeable Spirit, perfect in holiness, wisdom, goodness, justice, power and love.
- John 4:24 – God is Spirit, and it behooves those worshiping Him to worship in spirit and truth.
- John 10:39 – I and the Father are one.
- John 14:16-17 – Then I will ask the Father to send you the Holy Spirit who will help you and always be with you. He is the Spirit of truth. The world is unable to receive him because it doesn’t see him or know him. But you do know him, because he remains with you and will be in you.
- John 14:26 – But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have told you.
- John 17:3-5 – This is eternal life: that they may know you, the only true God, and the one you have sent— Jesus Christ. I have glorified you on the earth by completing the work you gave me to do. Now, Father, glorify me in your presence with that glory I had with you before the world existed.c
Training up God’s End Times Army of Warrior Priests as God Determines
Warrior Priests are defined by God as:
- Valuable and worth saving
- Matthew 10:27-29 – Are not two sparrows sold for an assarion, a small Roman coin of little value? And not one from out of them will fall upon the ground without the cooperation or knowledge of your Father. And of you even the hairs of the head are all numbered. Therefore you should not fear; you are worth more than many sparrows.
- Luke 15:3-6 – And He spoke this parable to them, saying, “What man from out of you having a hundred sheep and having lost one from out of them does not leave the ninety nine in the wilderness and goes after the one having been lost until he finds it? And having found it, he lays it upon his shoulders, rejoicing. And having come unto the house, he calls together his friends and neighbors, saying to them, Rejoice with me, because I have found my sheep, the one having been lost! “
- Given a purpose and a quest to complete
- Ephesians 2:10 – For we are His work, having been created in Christ Jesus upon good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we should walk in them.
- Fearfully and wonderfully made by hand and breathed into by God Himself
- Psalm 139:14 – I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Marvelous are Your works, And that my soul knows very well.
- Genesis 2:7 – And God formed the man of dust of the earth, and breathed upon his face the breath of life, and the man became a living soul.
- Cleansed of his/her past and given new grace and mercy each passing day
- 1 John 1:9 – If we should confess our sins, He is faithful and just and righteous, so that He might remit and release us from our sins and might cleanse, purify and purge us away from all unrighteousness and injustice.
- Restored and recreated upon entering His Kingdom
- 2 Corinthians 5:17 – Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The original, ancient, and primitive have passed away, behold, the new has come into being.
- Subject to His Kingdom on His Terms
- James 4:7 – Be subject then to God. And stand against , fully opposing, the devil and he will flee away from you.
- Called to be obedient
- Deuteronomy 28:1 – And it shall come to pass, if thou wilt indeed hear the voice of the Lord thy God, to observe and do all these commands, which I charge thee this day, that the Lord thy God shall set thee on high above all the nations of the earth.
- Called to be holy
- 1 Peter 1:15-17 – But rather according to the Holy One having called you, also be holy yourselves in all your conduct, manner of life, and behavior; Because it has been written, “You will be holy, because I am holy.” And if you call upon as Father the One judging impartially, according to each one’s work, conduct yourselves in fear during the time of your sojourning and stay in this strange land.
- Ready to fight evil at any moment
- Ephesians 5:11 – And do not have fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, instead expose with convincingly solid and compelling evidence them.
- Ephesians 6:12 – Because our struggle and fight is not towards flesh and blood but rather toward the preeminence, toward the authorities, toward the world-rulers of this darkness, and toward the spiritual forces of pain-ridden evil in the heavenlies.
- Whose focus lies more in God’s eternal heavenly realm than the goings-on of our temporal earthly realm
- Colossians 3:2 – Mind your perspective on the things above, not the things upon the earth.
- Matthew 6:19-21 – Do not store up treasures for yourselves upon the earth where moth and rust eats and destroys and where thieves break in and steal; However store up treasures in heaven for yourselves, where neither moth nor rust destroys, and where thieves do not break in nor steal. For where your treasure is, there also will be your heart.
