RESURRECTED LIFE MINISTRY IS A DISCIPLESHIP PROGRAM BASED ON FOUR GOSPEL PRINCIPLES: 1) Knowing Our True Identity in Christ 2) Release and Healing of Old Ways 3) Discipleship into Christ's Way of Living 4) Learning to Trust Each Other in Community THE GOAL OF RESURRECTED LIFE MINISTRIES is to train people to minister in Christ's love and power while sustaining their own inner life. Together we can see the Good News come alive and God be glorified in His kingdom. 1) To give the Good News to anyone who will hear it; to provide release from the past, recovery in the present and direction in the future. We then can realize and live the fullness of life that God intends for His children. 2) To provide the experience of Christian community in small groups so that trusting relationships can be sustained without fear. 3) Loving others as Jesus loves enables us all to let go of differences of race, culture and denomination, which brings the unity of the Kingdom of God on earth. HOW DO WE BECOME TRULY FREE? The love of the Holy Trinity is available to us all through the power released to us by the cross of Jesus. This power sets us free to live fully as God intended. Isaiah 61:1-4 (Good News) The Sovereign Lord has filled me with His Spirit. He has chosen me and sent me to bring good news to the poor, to heal the broken-hearted, to announce release to captives and freedom to those in prison. He has sent me to proclaim that the time has come when the Lord will save His people and defeat their enemies. He has sent me to comfort all who mourn, to give to those who mourn in Zion joy and gladness instead of grief, a song of praise instead of sorrow. They will be like trees that the Lord Himself has planted and they all will do what is right and God will be praised for what He has done. They will rebuild cities that have long been in ruins. TRAINING AND TEACHING Resurrected Life Ministry provides 6 levels of training. Each consists of twelve weekly meetings where 6 teachings are presented alternating with opportunities for feedback and discussion. Alongside each week is a ministry session demonstrating the teaching. This way we actually see God releasing a person in the way the teaching indicated. This builds faith and trust in all members of the group. MINISTRY Teaching and ministry are always given together because we have to experience what we have just been taught. Only then does the full impact reach our hearts and increases our longing to be set free ourselves. Ministry is always confidential and all group members promise not to reveal details of another person’s life. There is no compulsion to receive ministry in class. It is voluntary and authenticated by the Lord's choice, never ours! It is a very powerful way of seeing the Good News in practice and always builds faith. Ministry is always available on a one to one basis outside the classes. We do ask people receiving ministry outside the classes not to volunteer in the group in order to give others maximum opportunity to receive ministry. RECOMENDED BOOKS
