"Building
Foundations that
Change
Lives
Open Heaven
and Reform our World"
-Change Lives
The Purpose of doctrine is not only to give us understanding
about God, it is to understand the inheritance that He has
given us. The goal of doctrine is primarily to know who
God is and secondly, who we are in Him, thirdly, to know
what we have been given in the inheritance, and fourthly
we need to know what we ought to do with what God has given
us. This is basically the message of the whole Bible. An
great inheritance redefines my Indentity.
That is, for example: if I receive an inheritance of $50,000.00
dollars I will feel different, I will think differently,
many of my personal paradigms change. Everything begins
to change, my self image will be different by means of the
inheritance.
All behaviour is the result of identity. "As a man
believes in his heart, so he is" (Prov. 23:7)
All outward behaviour is the result of internal concepts
and beliefs. If God changes my self image by means of His
inheritance, He can change my behaviour.
When we speak of foundations that change lives, it is thanks
to this understanding and we are able to see lives changed
radically in our miracle archives.
-Open Heaven
One of the consequences of being right with God or to be
perfect before the law is that the Heavens are open or available
on the Earth.
Deuteronomy 28:1-14 speaks of the lifestyle of blessing
where the Heavens are available on Earth; in the same manner
Jesus says that he is righteous before the law in Luke 12:32.
The Heavens open and he begins to live three and a half
years on the Earth with an open Heaven showing us how our
lives ought to be.
-Reform our World
This is what we want the people to understand, the consequences
of all this are obvious, society begins to reform.
