Kingdom Prayer:
One of the methods that divinely authorize by God when we need the Kingdom of Heaven to get involved in the physical Kingdom is Prayer. It is a personal ticket that God gives us to come and talk to Him. In Prayer, we connect heaven to earth, time with eternity and the finite with the infinite. We pull the kingdom of Heaven down to the kingdom of Earth. We leave the Physical, the earth, and enter the Spiritual, heaven, to access what God is already plan to do. The plan of God is for man to rule the earth but dependent of Him. That is why God instituted communication with Himself with man through Prayer.
Prayer is the key principle of kingdom living and kingdom authority. In Genesis 1 V 26 when God create Adam and Eve, He gave them a mandate to dominate. God said “let them rule over all the earth.” In other words, God stated that He would not rule independently of man. However, man was to look for Him for how he would rule on earth. Satan got Adan and Eve to cease communicating with God and start communicating with him. By doing that, Adan and Eve lost access to heaven authority and wisdom. What’s a tragic lost!
Our Lord, Jesus Christ, has recovered this tragic lost. Because during the Great Commission mandate, Jesus Christ gave to our ancestors all the earthly kingdom authorities that He took away from Satan. As Christians and followers of Jesus Christ, the Apostles and the Disciples of Christ Jesus are our ancestors. We were there at the extraordinary meeting. Jesus Christ gives us our kingdom authority back. We do not want to lose access to heavenly authority like Adam and Eve did. Through prayer, we have unlimited access to our heavenly Father. We want to advance God’s kingdom agenda which is the visible manifestation of the comprehensive rule of God over every area of life.
God is the ultimate owner of Building Life for Haiti (BLFH) and International Center of Christian Education (ICCE). He has delegated the responsibility to us to manage” BLFH “and “ICCE”. We will exercise His will for Him as we reflect Him on earth. That is why No weapon forged against us will prevail, and we will refute every tongue that accuses us in courts. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and this is the vindication from the Lord Almighty. Jesus Christ deserves it all. All the glory and honor reserve for Him, because He alone has done all the works. Therefore, the goal, nature, and purpose of “BLFH” and “ICCE” is to lift the name of Jesus Christ and every circumstance in life.
Doctrinal Statement
THE HOLY BIBLE:
We believe that the Bible, both Old and New Testaments, is supernaturally inspired, so that it is inerrant in the original manuscripts and preserved by God in its verbal and plenary inspiration, so that it is a divinely authoritative standard for every age and every life. (Matthew 5:18; 1 Corinthians 2:13; 2 Timothy 3:16-17; 2 Peter 1:21)
GOD THE FATHER:
We believe in one God that eternally exists and reveals Himself in three persons – Father, Son, Holy Spirit – having each the same nature, attributes and perfections, worthy of the same worship and confidence. (Matthew 3:16-17, 28:19; John 1:1-2, 14, 10:30, 14:15-17; 1 Corinthians 8:6; 2 Corinthians 13:14) We believe in God as absolute and sole Creator and Sustainer of the universe, and that creation was by divine command, from nothing and not through an evolutionary process. (John 1:3, 10; Acts 17:24-25; Genesis 1:1) We believe that God, by His sovereign choice and out of love for men, sent Christ into the world to save sinners. (John 3:16; 1Timothy 1:15; 1 John 4:14)
GOD THE SON
We believe that Jesus Christ was fully God in the flesh and fully man, that He was born of a virgin and that He lived a sinless life, in which He taught and performed mighty works and wonders and signs exactly as revealed in the four gospels. We believe that He was crucified, shed His blood, died to pay the penalty for our sins and was raised bodily from the dead on the third day. Forty days later He ascended to the Father’s right hand where He is Head of the Church and intercedes for believers. From there He is coming again personally, bodily and visibly to this earth to set up His millennial kingdom. (Isaiah 7:14, 9:6; Hebrews 1:1-2, 7:25; Luke 1:30-35; Ephesians 4:8; John 1:1-5, 10-14, 14:3; Colossians 2:9; 1 Corinthians 15:3-4; Acts 1:3,11; Revelation 20:4)
GOD THE HOLY SPIRIT:
We believe that the Holy Spirit is a person and is God, possessing all the divine attributes. He convicts of sin, regenerates, indwells, baptizes and seals all believers at the moment of their salvation, filling them in response to yieldedness with the goal of conforming them to the image of Christ. (John 3:5, 16:7-11; Acts 5:3-4; Ephesians 1:13, 4:30, 5:18; 1 Corinthians 6:19, 12:13)
MAN :
We believe that man was created in the image and likeness of God, but that in Adam’s sin the race fell, inherited a sinful nature and became alienated from God. We believe that all men are morally corrupt, and of themselves utterly unable to remedy their lost condition. (Genesis 1:26-27; Romans 1:18, 3:23, 5:12; Ephesians 2:1-3, 12)
SALVATION :
We believe that salvation is a gift of God and is received by man through personal faith in Jesus Christ and His sacrifice for sin. We believe that man is justified by grace through faith apart from works and that all true believers, once saved, are kept secure in Christ forever. (Acts 13:38-39; Romans 4:5, 6:23, 8:1, 38-39; John 10:27-29; Ephesians 2:8-9)
THE CHURCH:
We believe that the true Church is composed of all persons who are regenerated by the Holy Spirit through saving faith in Jesus Christ; that they are united together in the body of Christ of which He is Lord and Head; and are commissioned for the God-given tasks of worshiping, fellowshipping, teaching, evangelizing and exercising the spiritual gifts. (Acts 2:42,47; Romans 12:5; Ephesians 1:22-23, 5:23-24; 1 Corinthians 12:12-14; 2 Corinthians 11:2) We believe that the establishment and continuance of the local church is clearly taught in the New Testament Scriptures. (Acts 14:27, 20:17, 28-32; 1 Timothy 3:1-13; Titus 1:5-11) We believe that the local church is autonomous and free of any external authority or control. (Acts 13:1-4, 20:28; Romans 16:1, 4; 1 Corinthians 3:9, 16, 5:4-7, 13; 1 Peter 5:1-4)
THE ORDINANCES :
We believe the ordinances for the believer are water baptism by immersion and the Lord’s supper as a memorial. They are, however, not to be regarded as a means of salvation. But both of which are an evidence of obedience and fellowship with the Lord. (Matthew 28:19-20; Acts 2:38, 41, 8:12, 35-38; Luke 22:19-20; 1 Corinthians 11:23-29)
THE CHRISTIAN LIFE:
We believe that a Christian should walk in holiness and not after the flesh, with the goal of being conformed to the image of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. As a new creation, walking in the Spirit, the Christian learns to grow in faith, in obedience to Scripture, in prayer, in fellowship with the saints and in a life of service. We believe that the Christian will stand before the judgment seat of Christ to have his life evaluated according to his deeds. (Galatians 5:16-26; Hebrews 10:25; Ephesians 4:20-24; Hebrews 11:6, 12:1-2; John 17:17; Ephesians 6:18; Romans 8:29; 2 Corinthians 5:10; 1 Corinthians 3:10-15)
THE SECOND COMING
We believe in the personal, premillennial and imminent coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. We believe in the bodily resurrection of the dead, of the believer to everlasting glory and the unbeliever to judgment and everlasting conscious punishment. (1 Thessalonians 4:13-18; 1 Corinthians 15:51-52; Titus 2:11-13; John 14:1-6; Matthew 25:46; Revelation 20:11-15; 2 Peter 3:10)
