Statement of Belief

Kelly & Jean Sharp's Hope and Life Ministry

We wish love and peace to all of God’s Free Men and Women who accept the TRUTH.

Freedom to be in the bosom of God part of the Body of Messiah/Christ, of which we are but a part.

We honor the infinite and Eternal God by functioning for the edification of the whole Body with Hope and Life in the Ministry.

Born anew is walking by the Holy Spirit. Our union bought and paid for by the Blood of Christ is more significant than honest differences of understanding Gospel doctrines.

By "speaking the truth in love" we can sort out our differences in understanding and all grow in the process. (Eph. 4: 2 - 16; 1 Cor. 12)

Ephesians 4:2-4 2 ¶ With all lowliness and meekness, with long-suffering, forbearing one another in love; 3 Endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. 4 [There is] one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling;

The knowledge of each believer is finite.

All of us right now "see as through a mirror darkly." As to knowledge, we have been given the Holy Spirit to "guide us into all truth" - meaning we don’t already know it all.

Therefore, as we approach this Statement Of Beliefs we do so with a humble heart, knowing we all have more to learn, and that it is the Blood of Christ that makes us One being anew and putting off sin means so much more than the honest differences in doctrinal understanding that are inevitable to the growth process of us all.

Let us excel in love while gaining knowledge - for "God is Love" - and "Christ loved the Church and laid Himself down for Her" - therefore Love is the heart of the Gospel.

Above every doctrine we believe in the Love of God which surpasses all knowledge and which comes to us through our precious Savior. To Him Who loved us with so outrageously splendid a Love be honor, praise and glory forever and ever! in the name of Jesus, Amen! (1 Cor.13; John 14:26; 1 John 4:8; Eph. 4:21-24; 5:25-27)

What Is Distinctive About Us?

The Lord has given us something to contribute to the continuation of Biblical truth to His Body in these days.

God's holy light comes as individuals examine the path they are on.

The path God is directing in holy Scripture can bring and guide many. Each may come as the will of God is set in motion to overcome the world and walk in Gods ways.

(Acts 3:19-21).

The name of our fellowship is Hope and Life Ministry.

Patriarchal stewardship is to be honored as the head of each Household magnifies his calling and brings Hope and Life to each Believing in Gods saving grace.

Each Patriarch, Man or head of the house entertains the Christian Fellowship of God’s Kingdom on earth.

He through that Godly right as head of the home is to administer Gods message of hope and life to his family.

Thus being united with other like minded men in unison who understand the Patriarchal Priesthood and responsibility as the head of the Home.

We believe in the Biblical revelations that God has given to his servants in the past and believe God works in men today, as they petition Him for guidance in humble prayer with a broken heart and a contrite spirit, asking to receive of Him.

We believe in the 66 books of the Holy Bible in their original writings as Holy Scriptures from God.

We believe in the entire Scriptures, not the "Old Testament" only or the "New Testament" only.

We believe in the whole Bible as one unified revelation of Truth and in the Eternal God Who does not change! (Ps. 12:6-7; 119:89-90; 2 Tim. 3:16-17; Mal.3:5)

These Scriptures are God’s written revelation of Who He is, what His ways are, and what He expects of us.

They provide a common ground for every believer to relate to God, and one another according to God’s own stated will and ways.

The Holy Scriptures are God’s Word, and they must be upheld as His Truth above the views of all finite men.

The Bible provides God’s governing standard in our lives and for our fellowship, we need but to comply with his Commandments.

We do not limit the power of God for God is Sovereign and can speak to whomever He wishes, whenever He wishes and whatever He wishes.

Does that make these other words of revelation Holy Scripture? Yes and No, but not all revelation from God is to be given to the whole body.

Holy Scripture refers to that body of writings commonly accepted as authoritative by the people of God. Though the Bible speaks of other books of which we know not of, we accept the power of God to reveal more on a personal level to guide the Patriarch over his family to benefit the Body as a whole to be discussed in reason and truth.

The apocryphal books of Macabees, for example, may very well have been inspired. Macabees contains fulfillment of the Bible book of Daniel and a festival established in Macabees was even celebrated by Yeshua/Jesus when He was on the earth. Yet, these books are not part of the Holy Scripture Canon commonly accepted by most believers.

Because they are not accepted as part of the common ground of revelation among believers that is authoritative, and if not authoritative in the Body it is not deemed Holy Scripture - even if one can individually glean some revelation from it for their benefit.

The Lord has given His word to his people as a Body. Therefore, the Scriptures they accept as a Body are there to unify to the edification of all. ( Luke 8:21; John.10:27-29 17:1-22)

John 17:1-3 1 ¶ THESE words spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee: 2 As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him. 3 And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.

Luke 8:21 21 And he answered and said unto them, My mother and my brethren are these which hear the word of God, and do it.

John 10:27-29 27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: 28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any [man] pluck them out of my hand. 29 My Father, which gave [them] me, is greater than all; and no [man] is able to pluck [them] out of my Father's hand.

God is in control and may we say we accept those 66 Bible books nearly universally accepted by believers as the Holy Scripture Canon. Therefore as a fellowship we accept the Bible as the authoritative Canon of Holy Scriptures that God has given us to start with also the Personal witness as a second source as his Spirit of Enlightenment to recognize and progress in the truth of his word.

That does not mean God could not inspire more Scriptures but such would need to comply with existing Scripture, be totally harmonious with it, and be attested to by God through well attested heavenly communication of events giving those new Scriptures His stamp of approval sufficient for the entire faithful body of believers to accept them as authoritative. We look to the attitude that the "books will be opened." (1 John 4:1; 2 Tim. 3:16, 17; Rev. 20:12)

This does not leave us without present day revelation. The Holy Spirit is active in His people, working in us through natural Heaven sent means to give us revelation specific to this hour. However, all such revelation must square with Scripture to be accepted as from Him. (1 Cor. 14:1, 2, 24-26; 2 Tim. 3:16, 17)

1 Corinthians 14:1 1 ¶ FOLLOW after charity, and desire spiritual [gifts], but rather that ye may prophesy.

2 Timothy 3:16-17 16 All scripture [is] given by inspiration of God, and [is] profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: 17 That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.

 Our Loving fellowship is Patriarchal.

We have a patriarchal perspective and believe in Biblical Patriarchal Order.

What exactly does that mean?

‘Patriarch’ is a Bible word translated from the Greek word ‘patriarchs.’ This word combines two other Greek words; ‘patria’ meaning ‘family,’ and ‘archo,’ meaning ‘to rule or govern.’ It is a masculine word referring to a father/husband by his function of governing a family. This word is synonymous in the Bible with ‘father’ to such a degree that it is often translated as ‘father’ in various translations of the Bible. (Examples: Acts 2:29; 7:8, 9; Heb. 7:4, also in the Greek Sept. at 1 Chron. 24:31; 2 Chron. 19:8; 23:20; 26:12)

We encourage all Men and women everywhere to submit themselves to the word of God in His order the Patriarchal Order that unity and love may abound for the blessing of Heaven to be poured out upon them in accordance to their obedience that they may rejoice in the family order of God..

Yeshua/Jesus revealed God in heaven as both His and our Father. God is the Father - the Great Patriarch from whom the entire family of man derives its being and function. God created mankind from the beginning to function according to the patriarchal order because He is Himself patriarchal as an eternal given, of His Divine nature.

Therefore, Godly men rule in righteousness and have always ruled in their families because that is what men were created to do.

It is part of human nature in the image of God that man take stewardship and oversee his family.

It is true that men have often abused and misused not understanding Gods purposes in leadership.

This God-given role that should be governed with unselfishness and love needs to be more fully understood in today’s society for positive results.

Alignment with the patriarchal order under Heavenly Father our God, which is in His image even Jesus Christ as a reflection of His perfect nature will result in happiness and unity in the faith and family. (Jn. 20:17; Eph. 3:14, 15; Acts 17:24-28; 1 Cor. 11: 3, 1 Tim. 3:4; Heb. 12:7-10)

Because of sin many men neglect, are indifference and abuse the marriage covenant and this brings upset, misery with broken families that live in terror with very little love nor respect for that which the Lord has commanded.

We teach the Lords law of Patriarchy with listening Ears, teaching righteousness in love.

James 1:19 19 ¶ Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:

Biblical Patriarchy is a different things entirely than what is practices in the world of sin. As a Godly man one who reverences the word is placed at the head of a home he is respected as such, he is subjected to Gods word being kind and loving in his relationship seeking the best possible union with his wife, teaching and raising up his children to walk in the ways of truth being a Godly family.

God has placed an order for unity, the Patriarchal Order, one with love and growth as a family that they may be united in Him.

As Mankind realizes that being obedient to the Word and will of God, within the heavenly instituted Patriarchal Order, a much happier family life with unity and love will be the results.

Biblical Patriarchy is different.

It is Patriarchy lived in the image of our Father in Heaven and His Exemplary Son Yeshuah/Jesus.

It is loving as He is loving, kind as He is kind, self-sacrificing as He is self-sacrificing, humble as He is humble, yet firm for all that is just, good and right even as He is firm for all that is just, good and right.

It is God’s own form of family government, it is meant to be practiced by His sons for the health and well-being of all His family.

It is God’s way. Therefore, when we refer to patriarchy we are talking about the righteous Biblical patriarchy originating and approval by Gods Heavenly design with his purposes in mind. To raise up unto God a righteous generation unto Him. ( Eph. 5:22-33; 1 Peter 3:1-7 Matthew 19:6 )

Matthew 19:6 6 Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.

Ephesians 5:20 20 Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ; 21 ¶ Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God. 22 Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. 23 For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the savior of the body.

The entire Bible is written with an underlying Patriarchal administration. Throughout the Bible we find God governing patriarchal through the righteous husband and father - even while man degenerates more and more into various forms of bureaucracy through time, God's individual direction to Godly men is very evident.

The Bible foretells this dichotomy between the natural worldly man’s way of ruling that will continue to escalate right up to the foretold ultimate worldwide bureaucracy of Satan’s antichrist - who is also sure to be an anti-patriarch system.

Satan’s misinformation program not withstanding is in opposition to Gods Program.

(Gen. 4:5; 6:9; 7:1; 10:1-32; 12:1-3; 25:11; 32:9-12; 46-49; Heb. 1:1-6; 2:10-18; Rev. 12:17; Rev. 13)

Gods Program as the holy word verifies is a Patriarchal Family order, unified in love and charity abounding with a chain of authority.

1 Corinthians 11:2-3 2 Now I praise you, brethren, that ye remember me in all things, and keep the ordinances, as I delivered [them] to you. 3 But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman [is] the man; the head of Christ [is] God.

Biblical Patriarchy is God’s intended form of government for the human race. God created the first man to be a patriarch and the father of patriarchs. He established nations according to their fathers, established His own chosen nation patriarchal, and provided for its government according to patriarchal principles.

True to patriarchal form, our heavenly Father raised up His Only Begotten Son, His Firstborn, to rule the entire family of God at His own right hand in Heaven. The Son is Head of the Church, His Wifely Body of many members, which is also established to function according to patriarchal government in its individual families as well as in the larger family of God. From beginning to end Biblical patriarchy is God’s way of providing righteous government for the care and good order of His people. (Gen. 4:5; 6:9; 7:1; 10:1-32; 12:1-3; 25:11; 32:9-12; 46-49; Heb. 1:1-6; 2:10-18; Eph. 1:17-23)

Biblical Patriarchy involves two primary principles.

1- The first is righteous and loving exercise of family authority and the second is willing and intelligent (never forced) submission to such authority. Every child of God is called to exercise both principles according to various circumstances. The principle of a loving family authority finds its origin and perfect example in our Heavenly Fathers Order in the beginning.

Genesis 1:1 1 ¶ IN the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

Genesis 2:1 1 ¶ THUS the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.

Genesis 2:7 7 And the LORD God formed man [of] the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.

Genesis 2:18 18 ¶ And the LORD God said, [It is] not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him.

Genesis 2:23 23 And Adam said, This [is] now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.

Genesis 2:24 24 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.

Genesis 3:22 22 ¶ And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever:

Genesis 3:23 23 Therefore the LORD God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken.

Genesis 4:1 1 ¶ AND Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, I have gotten a man from the LORD.

Here is shown that the order in the beginning was Patriarchal. Man, Woman, Child.

2- Second is the principle of intelligent submission finds its origin and perfect example in God’s Son Who is lovingly in perfect submission to His Father - even while He is also in authority as Head of all Creation. These two principles (godly authority and submission) are thus fundamentally an expression of the very nature of God and characterize all who are truly functioning as part of God’s family.

These two principles functioning together under the Leadership and authority of Christ in a family, church fellowship, and eventually in the entire Body of Christ, produce such an effective unity of purpose and function that they can overcome all thing unto the Glory of God.

The restoration of Biblical Patriarchy to God’s chosen is thus not optional. It is absolutely essential part to the realization of all that God has promised for His people. That is why this fellowship is committed to learning and teaching Biblical patriarchy in all its depth, as well as living it under the Leadership and authority of Christ.

We seek daily Gods grace and direction to fully grow into all that Biblical Patriarchy involves being guided by the Spirit of Gods Eternal Truths. (Eph. 5:1 - 6:4; 1 Peter 5:1-7; Heb. 13:7; 1 Cor. 4:1; Phil. 2:1-14, 1 Cor. 11:3)

Biblical Patriarchy is a family chain of loving authority proceeding from Heavenly Father, God as Head of Christ, through Christ as Head of man and man as head of woman and man and woman over children.

It is evident that through this order God’s Leadership and authority with its blessings are extended outward in a flow of His loving family government, to all who willingly choose to be so governed.

Biblical Patriarchy is the narrow way and restricted as straight is the gate - yet meant to provide a place in God’s order for all his sons and daughters.

We accept all Biblical Patriarchy none excluded.

We are a fellowship of Christian Believers with many differing backgrounds following the Anointed One.

‘Christ’ is drawn from the Greek and is the equivalent of the Hebrew-based word ‘Messiah.’ Both words mean ‘Anointed One.’ ‘Christian’ therefore means ‘of the Anointed One’ - belonging to the Messiah. The word ‘Christian’ is a Bible word: "... the disciples [of Yeshua/Jesus the Messiah/Christ] were called Christians first in Antioch." Acts 11:26

The first century Christianity functioned in the midst of two different dominant cultures and languages.

By Providence it sprang up as an element of the Hebrew culture of Israel. Yeshua/Jesus was a Hebrew, as were all of the apostles and all of the first believers. Christianity is thoroughly an outgrowth of Hebrew roots.

We worship the Hebrew God, God of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob the true and living God and accept the Hebrew Scriptures and follow the Hebrew Messiah - from the beginning.

Christianity was never meant to be a new religion. It is simply a further expression of the faith of our Israelite fathers in the Messiah they prophesied about and looked forward to. (Luke 1:31,32, Acts 10:34-11:18; Rom. 11)

Yet, as those ancient faithful men of Israel had prophesied, that the Messiah is not the Messiah for Israel only - but also for the whole world.

Now the Messiah had come, had given Himself as a sacrifice for the sins of all people everywhere as they repent, Jesus had been raised from the dead and was seated at the right hand of God in heaven! ... Far above every pagan god, authority and power!

It is time for people everywhere to turn from idolatry and sin and be reconciled to God under the authority of His Son, the Messiah! (Amos 9:11,12; Acts 15:13-21; Eph.1:20-23; 2:11-22; 2 Cor.5:11-21)

This news needs to be spread everywhere that peace may fill the earth.

The first century world was thoroughly under Greco-Roman domination. Greek was the common language of the civilized world much as English is today. Therefore, as the good news of Yeshua the Messiah was spread throughout the world that news was spoken in the Greek language common to people everywhere - being called among them "the Gospel of Christ" - being in the original Hebrew concept "the good news of the Messiah."

Thus, the New Testament was written in Greek, with Hebrew terms and concepts related through Greek words.

This is because the God of Israel, Who is also the God of the whole Earth, was reconciling people everywhere to Himself through His Son, Yeshua the Messiah - Jesus Christ.

Praise the Lord, God! Through God’s Son the Messiah people of every nation can identify with God’s nation of Israel and be blessed along with her in God’s perfect plan of redemption! ( Acts 14:1; 15:13-21; Rom. 1:16; 2:9, 10; Rom. 11; Heb.8:8-12)

It is special being a Believing Christian and Personally knowing Gods words that all might come unto Him and be blessed of Him!

Each person who accepts Yeshua/Jesus as Savior and Lord through faith and obedience is saved through God’s grace from the otherwise certain dismal effects of sin and is transferred being a new person from the domain of the darkness of this world into the Kingdom of Yeshua the Messiah, grafted into the Root and Branch of Israel.

As one receive His eternal Life with an eternal hope! In His Kingdom we are reconciled to God as His own adopted children, imbued with His Holy Spirit to teach and guide each of us as members of God’s own family being united in the faith!

The very Life of God’s Son can be our life, as we walk in obedience and oneness with Him. It is His Life living in us, and our willing submission to His Leadership that allows us all to function together as one in the Body of Christ.

Not all doing the same thing - but each one growing into all that they are individually meant to be - functioning as many individual members of one body - all together manifesting the multifaceted likeness of the glory of Christ in the world! ...

Hallelujah! Do you discern your part in the Body of Christ? This is a sacred mystery to understand of God! (Eph. 2:1-10; 4; Col. 1:12-16; Rom. 8; Rom. 11:16-18, Gal.2:20; 1 Cor. 12)

Colossians 1:12-14 12 ¶ Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light: 13 Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated [us]into the kingdom of his dear Son: 14 In whom we have redemption through his blood, [even] the forgiveness of sins:

Ephesians 2:10 10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.

True, we still must live out our earthly lives in these bodies of flesh, corruptible bodies striving perfection as we become sharers with Him in His sufferings for the sake of others. Yet, if we suffer together with Him we shall also be glorified together with Him! And even now we have a living resurrected Christ as our Treasure who sits at the right hand of God to intercede for us.

Romans 8:34 34 Who [is] he that condemneth? [It is] Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.

To know Yehshua/Jesus and to know Yahweh/the Father through Him, to fellowship with Him, to learn from Him and to serve Him - there is nothing better on this earth! It is to live a life of faith and love, living with a newness and meaning as a part of God’s eternal purpose.

This is what being a Believing Christian is all about. (Rom. 8:17; John 17:3; Col. 2:1-7; Eph.1:1-14)

Speak to Yahweh/our Father and God in the name of Yeshua/the Messiah in faith right now! Accept His death in your place, accept Him as your Lord, receive His Spirit into your spirit, and from this day forward you will be a new creature walking in obedience to his commandments overcoming sin !

If this is your choice then be baptized as a symbol that you have passed from death into the new life of Yeshua the Messiah, our Lord (John 5:15, 16, 12:46; Acts 2:21; 1 John 5:1; Acts 2:38-41)

It would be our blessed pleasure and privilege to assist you in knowing Him in any way we can.

Fellowship

Our relationship together is in fellowship. The Bible word translated as ‘fellowship’ is ‘koinonia’ and refers to a sharing in common. This may be a Greek word, but it is a Hebrew concept. It is the concept of family and on a larger scale a tribe, if you will.

It is not the impersonal hierarchical structure of the Roman legions that characterizes much of modern day organized religion. Legions assemble in impersonal rows and receive orders from superiors who may not give a fig about any of them personally, engulfed in the tyranny of impersonal bureaucracy and empire building.

See the difference?

One a organized and impersonal bureaucracy of satanic influence being controlled by forces that are in opposition to Gods laws. Which turn thing upside down calling evil good and good evil.

The other is a very personal a Patriarchal family of God being guided by heads of families subjected to Gods spirit, ordained by God in His infinite wisdom.

Biblical Patriarchy is highly personal even as the family is personal, as family unity grows in strength and number.

Tribes or Families gather in a big circle and share of themselves with one another. They are all related to one another and care for one another because they have a family sharing attitude in common. They all have a voice in the common life of the family or tribe. They have leadership, but it is the personal patriarchal leadership of fellow family members who are their family peers and care about them personally.

From the beginning God created man to be organized in fellowship because fellowship is in the image of God.

Thus, fellowship is essential to human growth, fulfillment and happiness.

1 Corinthians 10:13 13 There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God [is] faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear [it].

Come out from organized religion to be set free in the Good news of Jesus Christ the Lords way of fellowship and Love. The Lord wishes that you have fellowship with the believing saints who honor and live his word.

KJV 1 John 1:1-4 1 ¶ THAT which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the Word of life; 2 (For the life was manifested, and we have seen [it], and bear witness, and shew unto you that eternal life, which was with the Father, and was manifested unto us;) 3 That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship [is] with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ. 4 And these things write we unto you, that your joy may be full.

Ephesians 4:15 15 But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, [even] Christ: 16 From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.

Ours is an expression of the fellowship that all of God’s own are to enjoy with one another.

This is a supernatural thing, originating in God and His Son. The apostles who walked with Christ and lived in fellowship with Him everyday were deeply touched by that fellowship and were desirous of sharing it with many others.

We express our fellowship it in this way our Friends are they that are a friend of Jesus.

From the beginning there was a common Life of the Father and the Son shared in fellowship between them.

The Son was sent as the Word of that Life to us, being from the very embodiment of that Life.

He was seen, He was touched, He was heard by those whom He brought into that sacred fellowship of the divine family - who were made sharers of that Life in Him! They, in turn, shared that fellowship in the Life of the Father and the Son with others whose joy was made full through entering into a common sharing of that Life of God!

God lives and I feel his presence with our fellowship, as God’s family continues to grow. God rules in heaven and in the hearts of all those who love Him! His is an eternal Life and our also as we subject ourselves to his laws and his ways, Through Jesus Christ we have fellowship and come unto God and in love and unity one unto another.

Let us then, live as brothers and sisters in the family of our Father and His Son! That is what our fellowship is all about.

It is about love. Living in His love and sharing that love with one another. This fellowship, like the very Spirit and Life of God, is a free gift, seeking to bring the joy of His love in knowing Him to all who long to experience this precious fellowship - Hope and life Ministry shares this wonderful message of the Father and His Sons love for those who are willing to come unto Him.

We welcome you to come to know the truth without oppression or force it is a free gift.

We love and receive all of our Christian brothers and sisters in their search for place and unity.

We wish to plant hope and life within you that you may come to know Christ and God in a way more spiritual and alive than ever before.

Join in the real spiritual growth and power in the Holy Spirit!

It is because so many Christians are not being planted and nurtured in the soil of heaven - the fellowship of the brethren.

We are here to say that there is a better way. We didn’t invent it - God revealed it from heaven.

Fellowship originated with God and it is how we are meant to relate to one another. (Rev. 3:14-22; Acts 2:42; 1 Cor.1:9)

Fellowship is the spiritual outpour of truth in the body. All are suited for the ministry in the body to function in unison.

All are called to be ministers of their own talents and spiritual gifts to one another. Yes, there must be leadership to train, equip, direct and empower the ministry of all believers, but that leadership is in families ordained of God and called Patriarchal fellowship as fathers, these require leadership of fellow brothers who are anointed by the Holy Spirit with the authority of Christ from Heaven to provide leadership among their brothers and sisters in his name.

We put no man above another but recognize the potential of all.

Each is just another sinner saved by grace given to good works of God to functioning as he is anointed to function in the family of God. (Eph. 4: 1-16; 1 Cor. 12:1-11, 28-31; 1 Cor. 15:9, 10; James 5:17)

Yes, Kindness and moral support are due such men as they labor on behalf of the family and body in Christ’s name.

As the Scriptures say; " Remember them which have the rule over you, who have spoken unto you the word of God: whose faith follow, considering the end of [their] conversation.

Hebrews 13:6-7 6 So that we may boldly say, The Lord [is] my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me. 7 Remember them which have the rule over you, who have spoken unto you the word of God: whose faith follow, considering the end of [their] conversation. 8 Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.

Leadership as Patriarchs laboring in the Spirit of Truth for the good of all is the works of a real anointing from God on behalf of the brethren - . Giving is a big part of being involved, but it is in the giving out of love for the benefit of all to meet the needs of the needy that are in the family of Christ that truly does empower the work of God

Yes this ministry believes in tithing as a true Biblical principle, yet we have no monetary fee requirement that members of the fellowship tithe or give to this ministry, Yet we admonish the words of the Lord in obedience.

We are all stewards of what God puts into our hands and we believe the Spirit can speak to the hearts of those who are blessed by God to give. Some may or may not respond to that, but that is between them and God. ( Malachi 3:8-12 1 Cor. 9:7-11; Gal. 6:9; 2 Cor. 8:5 9:6-7)

2 Corinthians 9:6-7 6 ¶ But this [I say], He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully. 7 Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, [so let him give]; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.

Just as the First Century apostles adapted these high ideals and principles to function in the world they lived in so must we.

As the world is organized today we need a legitimate Headship Patriarchal organization in each family to further these spiritual goals. (Christ’s Church those who repent and come unto him are a body of People working in a unified effort to accomplish Gods will.)

As such, a legal nonprofit organization is not itself the spiritual Body of Christ. It is but a tool that allows us to function within society that we live and work in. It is a way to get things published and communicated, to organize our joint effort in common goals and to collect and manage funds for the furtherance of those common goals in conformity with the laws of the land and the demands of society around us, yet being subjected to God.

This is a practical necessity in this age as a means to accomplish much good. Let us unite the earthly wealth with heavenly teachings to establish a worthy family kingdom acceptable unto God.

The Body of Christ is a supernatural thing that can be incorporated within the Patriarchal family framework for the benefit of all.

We are doing this work, because we are called by the spirit of Gods eternal Truths and anointed by the Lord Jesus Christ to this ministry in word and deed for the edification of His Body.

We are working under His Leadership and therefore gladly acknowledge and cooperate with other ministries with the similar call and individuals similarly called and anointed to work with us in the Continuation of the true Patriarchal Leadership of Christ in the midst of His Body.

In harmony with the patriarchal principles of Leadership, authority and submission that has been outlined.

We gladly accept our responsibility toward any of our brothers and sisters who embrace the Spirit of Truth and the unguent call they see evident in the work, who wish to be patriarchal associated with this ministry.

Let us conform ourselves ever more closely with God’s Patriarchal Order, united as one Body, functioning as individual members each in a unique way, growing together in the dignity, diversity and unity of the Spirit to the glory God and of our Head, The Lord Jesus Christ.

As humble servants of Christ and you, our brothers and sisters, we exhort you; let us who are called to the continuation of these Eternal Patriarchal truths function in patriarchal Christian fellowship together for the glory of God and the blessing of ourselves, our families and all our brothers and sisters in Christ.

That for the sake of a lost and hurting world so in need of the grace and higher wisdom of our loving Father they may see the truth and therein Go!
