What in the World is Going on With Me?



Have you ever asked yourself that question?  You love the Lord Jesus and have asked Him into your life, but something is blocking you from receiving freedom from old habits and ungodly reactions to things.


Many times, but not always, the sin that we continue to battle in our lives is the result of past emotional pain and trauma that are festering beneath the surface.  If you find yourself repeatedly "going around the same mountains," this may be the reason.

Addiction to drugs, alcohol, sex, pornography, gambling, food, prescription medications, cutting oneself, or any other thing may be the result of emotional pain and trauma from the past or present. 
 
Trauma includes the death of a loved one, divorce, abuse of any kind (sexual, mental, verbal, emotional, spiritual or physical), repeatedly moving from one location to another (especially during childhood), natural disasters (fires, floods, tornadoes, hurricanes, etc.), and anything else that is extremely upsetting to the normal life circumstance.
 
As painful memories from past events are triggered and come to the surface, the associated emotional, mental, or physical pain may be intense.  In an attempt to numb or deaden that pain, you may have one, two, three, or more drinks, use drugs, or in some other way try to relieve or remove that pain.  It may work for a short time because the activity changes the chemical balance in your brain.  However, it is not a permanent solution and the unbearable emotional, mental, spiritual or physical pain eventually surfaces again.  The cycle of numbing the pain, it reappearing, and numbing it again can lead to full-blown addiction.
 


Does this sound familiar?  If so, the good news is that there is hope!  Many people have received freedom from ungodly behavior, sin, and addictions through inner healing prayer ministry. Jesus Christ came to set the captives free, but sometimes it requires a person, "Jesus with skin on," to help in the process.  
This is what the Healing the Brokenhearted Ministry is about, helping to set people free from the pain and trauma that keeps them bound to sin and ungodly behavior.

OUR MISSION STATEMENT


ALL FOR JESUS MINISTRIES
  
“The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon Me,
 Because the LORD has anointed Me
  To preach good tidings to the poor;
He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted,
To proclaim liberty to the captives,
 And the opening of the prison
to those who are bound;”
Isaiah 61:1

 
Isaiah 61:1 was the Mission Statement of Jesus Christ, which He quoted and announced in Luke 4:18-21. 
  
“The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me,
Because He has anointed Me
To preach the gospel to the poor;
He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted,
To proclaim liberty to the captives
And recovery of sight to the blind,
To set at liberty those who are oppressed;
To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord.”

Then He closed the book, and gave it back to the attendant and sat down. And the eyes of all who were in the synagogue were fixed on Him. And He began to say to them, “Today this Scripture is fulfilled in your hearing.”  Luke 4:18-21
 
 
 
This is the Mission Statement of All for Jesus Ministries as well.
 
 
Our mission is to minister the love of Jesus Christ to the brokenhearted, the spiritually oppressed, those needing physical healing, and the unsaved.

 


 
 We are also called to mentor, disciple, and train others who are then better equipped to fulfill this mission for the Lord Jesus Christ wherever and whenever He gives them the opportunity to do so.
 

 

WHAT WE BELIEVE


ALL FOR JESUS MINISTRIES

 

STATEMENT OF FAITH


 

WE BELIEVE that the Holy Bible is the Word of God, without error in its original manuscripts. The Holy Bible was verbally and totally inspired by God and is our supreme and final authority in faith and life (2 Tim. 3:16; 2 Peter 1:20-21).


WE BELIEVE in one, living and true God eternally existing in three persons, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, equal in power and glory (Gen. 1:1, 26; Matt. 28:19; John 1:1-3; John 10:30).


 
JESUS IS THE SON OF GOD!
 
 
 
WE BELIEVE in the deity of Jesus Christ, the Son of God (Mark 1:10-11), His virgin birth (Isaiah 7:14; Matthew 1:23), His sinless life (Hebrews 4:15; Hebrews 7:26), His miracles (John 2:11), His atoning  death (1 Corinthians 15:3; Hebrews 2:9), His  resurrection (1 Corinthians 15:4) and His ascension to the right hand of the Father (Mark 16:19).
 
 

WE BELIEVE that Jesus Christ, of his own volition, came into the world in order that whoever believes in His sacrificial death might have eternal life (John 3:16-18).  He was conceived by the Holy Spirit (Matthew 1:20; Luke 1:35).  We acknowledge Jesus Christ as Lord over all things (Romans 9:5; Revelation 19:16).
 



WE BELIEVE that the Lord Jesus Christ died for our sins and was raised from the dead according to the Scriptures as a representative and substitutionary sacrifice, and that all who believe in Him are justified on the grounds of His shed blood.  The blood of Jesus Christ is the sole covering and payment for our sins.  Salvation is a free gift that is offered by God to sinful man. (Isaiah 53; Matthew 20:28; John 3:16; Romans 3:24; Romans 5:1; 1 Corinthians 15:3; 2 Corinthians 5:21; 1 John 2:2)
 

WE BELIEVE in the personal return of our Lord Jesus Christ; first for his saints and then with his saints to rule and reign over the earth (Acts 1:11; 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17).
 

WE BELIEVE that all who come by grace through faith to the Lord Jesus Christ are born of the Holy Spirit, made alive spiritually, and thereby become adopted children of God.  It is God's intention that all who are so born from above are to yield themselves to complete obedience to His Lordship. (John 1:12-14; John 3:3,5; 1 Peter 1:23; Ephesians 2:8-9; Colossians 2:12-14; 1 Thessalonians 5:23)
 


WE BELIEVE that the Holy Spirit indwells every Believer in Jesus Christ and that He is an abiding Helper, Teacher, and Guide (John 14:16-17).


WE BELIEVE in the contemporary operation of the gifts of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 12:1-11).
     

WE BELIEVE in a literal heaven and a literal hell (Matthew 5:3; Revelation 20:14-15).
