Freedom Ministry is about resolving personal and spiritual conflict in your life plus providing you with practical ways to help others find freedom in Christ.

The vision of the Ministries of Jesus is to glorify God through engaging in four aspects of our Lord's ministry, which includes preaching the gospel to the poor, and caring for the spiritual, physical and emotional needs of all desiring help. These ministries are performed in the power of the Spirit, with an emphasis on integrating spiritual, physical and emotional care in a thoroughly biblical manner.

Freedom Ministry Purpose Statement - The purpose of the Freedom Ministry is to encourage believers to recognize their identity in Christ and utilize their authority to experience freedom.

The Freedom branch of the Ministries of Jesus is helping clients/freedom seekers to resolve personal and spiritual conflict in his/her life and provides practical ways to help others find freedom in Christ. The Freedom branch will provide ministry in a variety of formats. Interventions, Pre-step meetings, Steps to Freedom, Walking in Freedom accountability groups, and discipleship Bible Studies will be utilized to help clients/seekers find their freedom in Christ. Interventions will be used to help clients/seekers gain freedom from a specific spiritual issue. Interventions will be used in the Ministries of Jesus clinic. Pre-step meetings will be used to help clients/seekers prepare for walking through the Steps to Freedom. The Steps to Freedom is only a tool that God uses to help the client/seeker with confessing, repenting and renouncing sin. The Steps to Freedom in Christ do not set you free. Who sets you free is Christ and what sets you free is your response to Him in repentance and faith. Walking in Freedom, biblically based accountability groups, will be available to help clients/seekers deal with issues after completing the Steps and continue to be free.

How do I become free? Nothing will happen until you choose to honestly face your problem and initiate the process for resolving it. God holds each of us responsible for confessing, repenting and renouncing our own sin. No one can do that for you. Repentance means to have a change of mind. It is far more than just mental knowledge. It means to turn from our self-centered and self-indulging ways and trust in God. Repentance involves not only what we turn from but also what we turn to. We must commit all we have and all we are to God. Renounce means to give up by formal announcement, to reject all previous use of our lives and possessions in the service of sin and then dedicate ourselves to the Lord. We are saying that the god of this world no longer has any right over us because we now belong to God. You may also have some questions about walking through the Steps to Freedom.
Your experience of going through the Steps to Freedom in Christ and being set free from bondages may be different from anyone else's. Why? Because each individual is unique, and each has his or her own unique set of conflicts to resolve. God graciosuly doesn't hurry us through everything at once, especially if the process is difficult. Getting free and staying free in Christ are two different issues. Freedom is nurtured and maintained by continuing to stand in the truth of who we are in Christ.

You need to remember that the only power Satan has is the power of the lie. As soon as you expose the lie, Satan's power is broken. The battle is for your mind. If Satan can get you to believe a lie, he can control your life. But you don't have to let him control you.
