Our ministry is to reach out to the world with the Good News of Jesus Christ and to help believers be equipped with a solid knowledge of the Word of God, the Bible, and be encouraged to apply it in every aspect of their daily lives. There are simple truths for these complex times to help people live in a way that brings real spiritual victory to them and more importantly, through the Lord Jesus Christ, glory to God our Father.

1 Peter 1:12-13
It was revealed to them that they (the prophets) were not serving themselves, but you, in these things which now have been announced to you through those who preached the gospel to you by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven—things into which angels long to look. Therefore, prepare your minds for action, keep sober in spirit, fix your hope completely on the grace to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ.

The bible, in both the Old and New Testaments, is filled with the words of prophets. However, there are both true and false prophets! And, it is really important that we understand that no true prophet will desire for you to just hear what they have to say because prophesy is all about what God has to say—and what we need to hear! “For no prophecy was ever made by an act of human will, but men moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God.” (2 Peter 1:21)

And the Lord's purpose in using those true prophets is not so we can go to a meeting and find out that you can get more money, a bigger house, a nicer car, etc,.etc. which is all too common from the false prophets in the 'church' today. God speaks His words to us through the prophets 'so that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ’ {1Pt.4:11} and that we might become more and more like Him!

“For by these He has granted to us His precious and magnificent promises, so that by them you may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world by lust.” {2Pt.1:4}

The apostle Paul, who most assuredly spoke for God, certainly made God's plan and wonderful purpose known to us when the Holy Spirit inspired him to write this great promise: “For those whom He foreknew, He also predestined to become conformed to the image of His Son, so that He would be the firstborn among many brethren;” {Rom.8:29}

God, the Potter, who is at work in us to will and to work for His good pleasure, {Php.2:13} is molding us and shaping us to be like His Son, Jesus. Praise God!

“But now, O Lord (YHWH), You are our Father, we are the clay, and You our potter; And all of us are the work of Your hand.” (Isaiah 64:8)

GOD’S WORD IS TO MOLD AND SHAPE US
