Acts in Motion Christian Ministries Mission

To go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. To fully function in our Elohim (God) created design for the edifying of the Body of Messiah (Christ), till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of Yahushua (Yeshua/Jesus) the Son of YAHUAH (LORD), to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Messiah.

Acts in Motion Christian Ministries Vision

YHVH’s (YAHUAH (LORD) intent is that the whole earth will be filled with the knowledge of His glory (Hab 2:14). His Kingdom is increasing and will spread everywhere. Yahushua (Yesuah/Jesus) is the King of this Kingdom and He has chosen the ecclesia (church: not a building or corporation but a people or assembly) as the instrument (vehicle) to advance His purpose (goal). We believe this ministry is designed to help identify, equip and release the full potential in believers to fulfill their unique call in the Kingdom of YHVH. This is accomplished by proper understanding and implementation of the giftings in the Body of Messiah found in the scriptures (Rom. 12:4-8; 1 Cor. 12:4-11; Eph. 4:11-16).

We teach that obedience and availability to YHVH (out of love for Him and by His grace not religious obligation or the fear of men) is the key to significance in a Believer’s life. We emphasize Yahushua’s will being preeminent over our own decisions and priorities, and encourage love, friendship, intimacy and passion in our relationship with Him. Our devotion to YHVH cannot be detached from our love for the Body of Messiah and the harvest. The real measure and test of our love for YHVH is our whole lifestyle - abandonment & liberty in worship of Him (II Sam. 6:14-16), study of Scripture (II Tim. 3:16-17), fervent prayer (Jam. 5:16), walking in humility (Jam. 4:6), aggressive evangelism (Luke 14:21-23) and loving others in a way that reflects YHVH’s love for us (John 15:12-17).

We are YHVH’s tabernacles, carriers of His presence (Col. 1:27; I Cor. 6:19-20) designed to permeate the atmosphere with His anointing everywhere we go (2 Cor. 2:14-16). We are Messiah’s hands and feet, His mouth and His heartbeat to reach this world with the message of His love. YHVH in this hour is restoring the Tabernacle of David which are a bold people who walk in a posture of worship, praise, intercession and unity 24/7 (Ams. 9:11-12, Acts 15:16-17). We as a ministry, feel called as catalysts to have gatherings allowing extended times of worship and body ministry as it grows into a 24/7 expression. We are ushering in a holy habitation now until we see Yahushua face to face at His coming for His Church. In heaven, worship & adoration for our Creator is continuous for all eternity (Rev. 4:8-11 & 5:8-14). This ministry does not minimize the power and importance of our love expressed to our Father through worship but we teach and demonstrate the value and importance of it in a believer’s every day life.

Our aim is to have lives characterized by an all-pervading love for YHVH, fellow believers and the lost. This is the life that Yahushua lived. We know and understand that this lifestyle can only be obtained by the revelation of YHVH’s love and grace (the ability and power invested in us by the Holy Spirit to live a submitted, consecrated, holy and mature life). The Father is calling us to a great awakening (revival). He is looking for hearts that say “yes” to Him in a radical obedience no matter the cost. We will give Him our all for the sake of the call to intimacy and bold evangelism.

Acts in Motion Christian Ministries Values

1. We believe loving the Father means that all Christians should define themselves as passionate worshippers
of their Creator.

Therefore we value the opportunity to worship YHVH freely and expressively in songs, movement, acts of service and giving both in corporate gatherings and through our individual lives, as living sacrifices (Rom. 12:1). Our aim is to love YHVH with all our heart, soul, mind and strength.

2. We believe loving our neighbors means that Acts in Motion Christian Ministries should be a community.

Therefore we believe that relationships are vital, and that building meaningful friendships in the Body is foundational to fulfillment in the Messiah. We value lives in the family of YHVH and we share life through home fellowships as well as corporate meetings. Central to the life of this ministry is love, encouragement, care (Gal. 6:2), equipping and activation found in the Holy Scriptures. We believe all are equal and have their place no matter race, age, gender or class in this ministry (1 Cor. 14:26).

3. We believe that YHVH has given the gifts of the Holy Spirit to function in the Body today, both in the corporate gathering and in our daily lives. In Messiah’s Body, we anticipate that every gift will be maximized and functioning properly for the edification of the whole Body. (Rom. 12:4-8; 1 Cor. 12:4-11: Eph. 4:11-16)

Therefore our aim is for everyone, through the equipping of the Holy Spirit and the government of YHVH, to identify their spiritual gifts and callings. We expect to see YHVH inspired gifts operating in everyday situations and every time we assemble.

Acts in Motion Christian Ministries is a place where people can discover what abilities Yahushua has given them and where they should use their gifts to serve in His Kingdom.

4. We believe that Messiah’s followers should grow to maturity.

Therefore we believe that YHVH’s people should be open to change, humbleness, teachable, follow Scriptural conflict resolution, and proactive in learning. They should have an unfolding and expanding sense of what it means to grow into the image of Messiah.

5. We believe that Yahushua has given the ministries of apostle, prophet, evangelist, pastor and teacher through gifted people to prepare YHVH’s people for works of service. This is to build up the Messiah's Body until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of YHVH and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of the Messiah. (Eph 4: 11-16)

We recognize that specific individuals are the gifts to the Body today. We will actively raise up and network with these ministries to inspire, equip and impart their gifts to us.

6. We believe that Messiah’s Body should grow both in terms of numbers and influence.

Therefore we believe that YHVH’s people should have a strong revelation of His Kingdom. We have an expectation for new converts to be added to YHVH’s Kingdom and therefore to this local ministry. We also anticipate that YHVH’s people will take every opportunity to influence the world as salt and light, taking seriously Messiah’s commission to disciple nations (Matt 28: 18-20 ; Romins 10:13-15).

7. We believe that Acts in Motion Christian Ministries should be an equipping and sending ministry.

We encourage YHVH’s people to have an outward focus. We value sharing talents, members and resources both across the region and throughout the world as bridge builders. We train and send members out with passion for Messiah and a sense of global impact. At Acts in Motion Christian Ministries we intend that members have an awareness that they are engaged in a process of being prepared to go into all the world, as YHVH’s ambassadors.

Acts in Motion Christian Ministries Statement of Faith

1. WE BELIEVE in the inspired, inerrant Word of YHVH given to the prophets and apostles in Hebrew, Chaldean, & Greek. The translation of these languages into English is the most faithfully and honestly adhered to in the Geneva Version of the Holy Scriptures. The King James Version is a close second with the exception of the passages skewed by King James' dogma/doctrine of "divine right of kings" and any other carnal motivation for deviation (Do your own research). The English "Bibles" that are translated from the corrupted greek of Westcott and Hort in 1881, are acceptable for cross referencing at best (we have formed our opinion by much research and study so we challenge anyone to study it out for themselves to verify the truth). Because we believe in the infallible Word of YHVH, old covenant and new covenant, we believe the following (Matthew 5:18; John 10:35; 17:17; 2 Timothy 3:16-17; 2 Peter 1:20-21).

2. WE BELIEVE that the one true God, YHVH Elohim, exists eternally in three expressions, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, and that these, being one, are equal in deity, power, and glory. We believe that YHVH not only created the world, but also now upholds, sustains, governs, and providentially directs all that exists and that He will bring all things to their proper consummation in Messiah Yahushua to the glory of His Name. (Deut 6:4; Psalm 104; Psalm 139; Matthew 10:29-31; 28:19; Mark 1:9-11; John 1:1, 14; Acts 17:24-28; 2 Corinthians 13:14; Ephesians 1:9-12; 4:4-6; Colossians 1:16-17; Hebrews 1:1- 3; Revelation 1:4-6).

3. WE BELIEVE that Yahushua Messiah is God incarnate, fully God and fully man, that He was conceived and born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, and offered himself as a penal, substitutionary sacrifice for sinners. By the blood of His cross He obtained for us eternal redemption, the forgiveness of sins, and life everlasting. He was raised bodily on the third day and ascended to the right hand of the Father, there to make intercession for the saints. (Matthew 1:18-25; 16:13-17; John 1:1-18; Romans 8:34; 1 Corinthians 15:1-28; 2 Corinthians 5:21; Galatians 3:10-14; Ephesians 1:7; Philippians 2:6-11; Colossians 1:15-23; Hebrews 7:24-27; 9:13-15; 10:19; Phil 2:5-11; 1 Peter 2:21-25; 1 John 2:1-2).

4. WE BELIEVE in the literal second coming of Messiah at the end of the age when He will return to the earth personally and visibly to consummate His Kingdom. We believe in the literal 1000 year millennial reign. We also believe in and are praying for a great end-time harvest of souls and the emergence of a victorious church that will experience an unprecedented unity, purity, and power in the Holy Spirit. (Psalms 2:7-9; 22:27-28; John 14:12; 17:20-26; Romans 11:25-32; 1 Corinthians 15:20-28,50-58; Ephesians 4:11-16; Philippians 3:20-21; 1 Thessalonians 4:13-5:11; 2 Thessalonians 1:3-12; Revelation 7:9-14).

5. WE BELIEVE that the Body of Messiah (church: ecclesia-assembly, congregation) is YHVH’s primary instrument through which He is fulfilling His redemptive purposes in the earth. To equip the saints for the work of ministry, YHVH has given the ecclesia apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers. We believe in the plurality of leadership with a set man, first among equals, ultimately responsible and accountable to the Father and other leaders). We also affirm the priesthood of all believers and the importance of every Christian being joined with and actively involved in a local community of the saints. We believe that women, no less than men, are called and gifted to proclaim the gospel and do all the works of the Kingdom. Whereas, final governmental authority in the church has traditionally,doctrinally been entrusted to men, we believe that gender is not as important as having a governmental system of checks and balances through a Body of mature Overseers (Elders) composed of the governmental giftings. (Matthew 16:17-19; Acts 2:17-18, 42; 14:23; 15:2, 4, 6, 22-23; Ephesians 3:14-21; 4:11-16; 1 Timothy 2:11-15; 3:1-7; Hebrews 10:23-25; 1 Peter 2:4-5, 9-10; 5:1-2; Tit 1:5-9; James 5:14).

6. WE BELIEVE that salvation is by grace alone, through faith alone, in Yahushua Messiah alone. No ordinance, ritual, work, or any other religious activity on the part of man is required in order to be saved. This saving grace of YHVH, through the power of the Holy Spirit, also sanctifies and has sanctified us by enabling us to do what is pleasing in YHVH’s sight, having been and progressively being conformed to the Messiah's image. John 1:12-13; 6:37-44; 10:25-30; Acts 16:30-31; Romans 3-4; 8:1-17, 31-39; 10:8-10; Ephesians 2:8-10; Philippians 2:12-13; Titus 3:3-7; 1 John 1:7, 9).

7. WE BELIEVE every believer possesses at least one spiritual gift for the edification of the Body of Messiah and should be a faithful steward of all YHVH has entrusted to him (Rom 12:3-8; I Cor 12:1-11; 14:26; I Pet 4:10-11).

8. WE BELIEVE in the function of Deacons (Acts 6:1-6; I Tim 3:8-13).

9. WE BELIEVE that water baptism and Yahushua’s Supper are the two ordinances of the ecclesia to be observed until the time of Messiah’s return. They are not a means of salvation but can be channels of YHVH’s sanctifying grace and blessing to the faithful in Messiah Yahushua. Of equal importance, they are symbolic practices, representing deep spiritual truths pertaining to Messiah’s accomplished work, to be performed by the believer as an expression of obedient faith. (Matthew 26:26-29; 28:19; Romans 6:3-11; 1 Corinthians 11:23-34; 1 Peter 3:21).

10. WE BELIEVE that Adam was originally created in the image of YHVH, righteous and without sin. In consequence of his disobedience, Adam’s posterity are born subject to both imputed and inherent sin, and are therefore by nature and choice the children of wrath, justly condemned in the sight of YHVH, wholly unable to save themselves or to contribute in any way to their acceptance with YHVH. (Genesis 1-3; Psalm 51:5; Isaiah 53:5; Romans 3:9-18; 5:12-21; Ephesians 2:1-3).

11. WE BELIEVE that the Lord Yahushua Messiah baptizes believers in the Holy Spirit, in whom also we are sealed for the day of redemption. The Holy Spirit convicts the world of sin, righteousness and judgment. The Holy Spirit regenerates, forever indwells, and graciously equips the Christian for godly living and service. Subsequent to conversion the Spirit desires to fill, empower, and anoint believers for ministry and witness. We also believe that signs and wonders, as well as all the gifts of the Spirit described in the New Testament, are operative today and are designed to testify to the presence of the kingdom and to empower and edify the church to fulfill its calling and mission. (Matthew 3:11; John 1:12-13; 3:1-15; 16:8-15; Acts 4:29-30; Romans 8:9; 12:3-8; 1 Corinthians 12:12-13; 2 Corinthians 1:21-22; Galatians 3:1-5; Ephesians 1:13-14; 5:18. John ; Rom 8).

12. WE BELIEVE that YHVH has called the church to preach the gospel to all nations with signs following (Mark 15:15), and especially to remember the poor, the orphans and widows (James 1:27) and to minister to their needs through sacrificial giving and practical service. This ministry is an expression of the heart of the Lord Yahushua Messiah and is an essential part of the Kingdom of YHVH. (Isaiah 58:6-12; 61:1; Matthew 28:18-20; Luke 4:18; 21:1-4; Galatians 2:10; 1 Timothy 6:8).

13. WE BELIEVE that Satan, when the iniquity of pride and selfish ambition was found in him, rebelled against YHVH, taking a multitude of angels with him. He was cast out of YHVH’s presence and is at work with his demonic hosts to establish his counter-kingdom of darkness and evil on the earth. Satan was judged and defeated at the cross of Messiah and will, at the end of the age, be cast forever into the lake of fire which has been prepared for him and his angels, where also dwell the beast and the false prophet. We also believe that when the unbeliever dies without Messiah, he/she is consigned to hell, there to await the day of judgment when he/she shall be punished with eternal separation from the presence of YHVH, and cast into the lake of fire which burneth forever and ever. “It is appointed unto men once to die, and then the judgment.” (Heb.9:27) Purgatory is a deceptive doctrine and does not exist. (Matthew 12:25-29; 25:41; John 12:31; 16:11; Ephesians 6:10-20; Colossians 2:15; 2 Peter 2:4; Jude 6; Revelation 12:7-9; 20:10; 21:8).

14. WE BELIEVE that when the Christian dies, he/she passes immediately into the blessed presence of Messiah, there to enjoy conscious fellowship with the Savior until the day of the resurrection and glorious transformation of the Body. The saved will then forever dwell in blissful fellowship with their great Triune YHVH. (Matthew 25:46; Luke 16:19-31; John 5:25-29; 1 Corinthians 15:35-58; 2 Corinthians 5:1-10; Philippians 1:19-26; 3:20-21; 2 Thessalonians 1:5-10; Revelation 20:11-15; 21:1-22:15.4).

15. WE BELIEVE in deliverance for the unbeliever and believer. Demonization, oppression, possession, bondage, strongholds, whatever your doctrine is we agree. We will not get caught up in semantics and theology on this subject. We know that the anointing destroys the heavy yokes to bring lasting freedom and liberty from demonic influences. This is accomplished by exercising our authority in Messiah, the blood of Yahushua and the power of His name to break generational curses, renouncing of iniquity and sin, inner healing and deliverance. It is our understanding and experience that YHVH wants us to be free. Deliverance is the children’s bread. The enemy of our soul wants to kill, steal and destroy but Messiah has come to give us abundant life(Mark 7:24-30).
