We exist to glorify God by Encouraging,
Elevating, Equipping and Empowering the
Body of Christ.
Beyond Forgiveness Into Freedom!
Eight Principles
Realize I’m not God.  I admit that I am powerless to control my tendency to do
the wrong thing and that my life has become unmanageable.  
Happy are those who know they are spiritually poor.  Matthew 5:3

Earnestly believe that God exists, that I matter to Him, and that He has the power
to help me recover.   
Happy are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.  Matthew 5:4

Consciously choose to commit all my life and will to Christ’s care and control.   
Happy are the meek.  Matthew 5:5

Openly examine and confess my faults to myself, to God and to someone I trust.
Happy are the pure in heart.  Matthew 5:8

Voluntarily submit to every change God wants to make in my life and humbly ask
Him to remove my character defects.    
Happy are those whose greatest desire is to do what God requires.  
Matthew 5:6

Evaluate all my relationships.  Offer forgiveness to those who have hurt me and
make amends for harm I’ve done to others, except when to do so would harm
them or others.   
Happy are the merciful.  Matthew 5:7    
Happy are the peacemakers.  Matthew 5:9

Reserve a daily time with God for self-examination, Bible reading, and prayer in
order to know God and His will for my life and to gain the power to follow His
will.

Yield myself to God to be used to bring this Good News to others, both by my
example and by my words.   
Happy are those who are persecuted because they do what God requires.  
Matthew  5:10
