What is Restoring the Foundations Ministry?

Restoring the Foundations Ministry is focused on the four problem areas that all of us have.  It specifically recognizes the severe degree on interdependence that each problem area has with the other three.  This is why we call it the "Integrated Approach to Biblical Healing Ministry."  God has provided all that we need to bring ministry to the four problem areas, so that we may be healed and free of them.

What are the Four Problem Areas?

They are:

• Sins of the Fathers and the Resulting Curses (SOFC): This problem is rooted in the 2nd commandment (Ex 20:3-6), where God visits "the iniquities of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generations." God requires us to confess our ancestor's sin as well as our own (Lev 26:40). We help the ministry receiver focus on the confession of sin (I Jn 1:9) and appropriation of Christ's finished work on the Cross to break curses (Gal 3:13) and recover "legal ground" from the enemy (Col 2:14).
• Ungodly Beliefs (UGB): All of us inherit UGBs from our ancestors (i.e., parents, grandparents), as well as forming them from life's circumstances. These UGBs need to be changed into Godly Beliefs (GB). This can be accomplished through a procedure of repentance and of renewing our mind (Rom 12:2).
• Soul/Spirit Hurts (SSH): Jesus came to heal the brokenhearted (Lk 4:18). As we "Wait upon the Lord" with "Listening Prayer," He heals the hurts of our soul and spirit. He shows us what He wants to heal, and then, after we take care of necessary forgiveness and releasing, He heals what He has shown.
• Demonic Oppression (DO): After we have "co-labored with Christ" to bring freedom and healing to the first three ministry areas in our lives, the various demonic strongholds oppressing us can be disassembled and destroyed (Mk 16:17).

It is one of the ways that God brings Sanctification into the lives of His children. It is a foundational ministry, bringing healing and freedom to the four problem areas that each one of us struggles with, through the Integrated Approach to Biblical Healing Ministry.

What is the Integrated Approach to Biblical Healing Ministry?

The Holy Spirit has shown us that if we minister to the four foundational problem areas in the same general time period, with an understanding of their interdependence, intertwined nature, that we will facilitate a much deeper and a much more permanent healing and freedom coming to the ministry receiver. This is because much, if not all, of the legal ground that the enemy has used for oppression is recovered (redeemed).  Ministering to all four interrelated problem areas is the Integrated Approach to Biblical Healing Ministry.

When we complete the Integrated Approach to Biblcial Healing Ministry to the four foundational problem areas, this brings the integrated healing into the ministry receiver's life.

What are the foundational characteristics of Restoring the Foundations Ministry?

RTF ministry is characterized by being:

• Christian: Everything we do is Christ Centered.  Jesus the Christ, through His sacrifice on the Cross and His resurrection from the grave, has made a way for every promise of God to be "Yea and Amen" (II Cor 1:20). We help others appropriate His finished work into their life, so that they can be further set free and made whole.
• Prophetic: (Prophetic simply means that we listen to and hear the Voice of the Lord, as the Holy Spirit speaks to us (John 10:4).) This form of ministry is prophetic for two reasons.
  • One, the basis for RTFM is the Holy Bible, as it is illuminated by the accumulation of revelation, particularly since the time of the Reformation. This revelation comes through the Rhema Word of God, as He breaths Life into the Scriptures. As we minister and train RTF ministers, we teach present truth understandings of the four problem/ministry areas, and how to minister to them in an integrated manner.
  • Two, we depend heavily on the Voice of the Holy Spirit to lead and guide us during the actual RTF ministry sessions.
• Prayerful: Everything we do is bathed in prayer. God is given total access to direct us according to His Will, so that His freedom and healing can come into the ministry receiver's life.
• Ministry: The Wonderful Counselor is one of the Names of the Christ. We do not attempt to give good advice (counsel), as a doctor or lawyer might, but rather to bring God's Word into each individual's life through the ministry of the life and spirit of the Word.
