Freedom is about IDENTITY…not issues!
Freedom836 is designed to change the way we think and the way we see ourselves. Our identity is wrapped up in who we are in Christ, NOT what we have done. It involves deliverance & discipleship! Freedom is a journey. Freedom is for you!
So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.
John 8:36
Jesus ministered to the broken, and He had an ability to deeply address the real needs of people He encountered. He provided all that people needed to move out from under the oppression of the kingdom of darkness and into the freedom and joy of the Kingdom of God!
As Jesus proclaimed the gospel of the Kingdom of Heaven, His ministry was marked by teaching about the Kingdom of God and what life as a Kingdom resident is like. Jesus provided demonstrations of power showing The Kingdom at work among people. It was His task while on Earth to reclaim what was lost (Luke 19:10) and to undo the works of the enemy (1 John 3:8) to bring the Kingdom of God back into order.
That same Kingdom still exists and is available to you through the Holy Spirit. Jesus is waiting for you to say, “yes” to that very same freedom and joy. Your freedom is found in who you are in Christ and as an heir to the Kingdom of God!
Why participate in Freedom836?
The works of the enemy in our day and age are varied and complex. These works cripple us and impair our ability to know God, worship Him, and know our true identity in His Kingdom. Satan’s reach has gained access to our minds, emotions, bodies, relationships, and culture. To find freedom today, we must follow Jesus’ model and instruct regarding Kingdom life.
We must also help one another encounter our living and present God to overcome the impact of living in a fallen world. One encounter with God can help us break free from strongholds in our lives allowing us, God’s people, to live fully as the redeemed sons and daughters He has intended!
As our response to Jesus’ command to declare and demonstrate the gospel of The Kingdom, our Freedom 836 Ministry seeks to encompass the ministry of Jesus to undo the works of the devil in the lives of individuals. We desire to help people grow in their soul (mind, will, & emotions) through elements of teaching and discipleship to reach the freedom they can obtain as they seek to know Jesus Christ.
We also work to make compassionate settings of ministry available for groups and individuals so that people can encounter God in the areas of their need.

COMMON QUESTIONS
What if I feel like I have too many issues or have done too much to be able to find freedom?
These freedom classes are for everyone! It does not matter what your background is or what you have done in life. There is grace and compassion here for anyone. There is no issue to big or too small that God cannot set you free from!
So now there is no condemnation for those who belong to Christ Jesus. Romans 8:1
What will be addressed in the freedom through christ ministry classes?
There are three key points that need to be addressed for people to find freedom from bondage in their life:
The bondage and strongholds that are in their lives
Learning how to walk and grow in freedom practically
Maintaining healthy balance where there has historically been a tendency toward imbalance
Will deliverance be addressed?
It is our position that demonic forces can influence a person in varying degrees from an external position as well as an internal position. The body and the soul (mind, will, and emotions) can provide a haven for influencing spirits. The spirit of a born-again believer is the Holy Spirit of God, but as Paul makes clear, we can either live by the flesh or live by the Spirit. When we live by the flesh, we give the devil an opportunity (topos—a place or geographical location, Ephesians 4:27).
