released from
condemnation and guilt.

is resting until His enemies
become His footstool

No more striving
or trying to achieve,
but righteousness working by
faith alone.

with His power.

and service in His Kingdom.

to destroy the
works of darkness
and build up the Kingdom of God.
We operate in the ninefold gifts
and as five fold ministers
we release
the eternal purposes of God
in the earth.
We pursue the things that produce peace
and stability in peoples lives
and situations
with a divine wisdom and insight that establishes His righteousness and victory.
