The Biography of Bread of Life New Creation Community

A New Testament Church: The Acts Church

The New Testament Church was a Spirit-filled (Pentecostal) Church. Speaking in tongues and prophecy, healing and miracles were a normal part of the life of the Church (Acts 1:8; 2:1-4; 13-18; 42-47). The Charismatic fire baptized leaders in the New Testament flames of fire ministers looked to and depended entirely upon the anointing and the presence of the Holy Ghost.

The New Testament Church’s expectation of ministry filled with the supernatural was based on the very teaching of Jesus Christ. Jesus said that when the Holy Spirit came, believers would be endued with power and then able to do the same works that He had done and even greater works (John 14:12). With the anointing of the Holy Spirit, the New Testament early Church was able to expand globally while overcoming intense persecution and internal heresies.

Bread of Life Christian Ministries, Inc. is committed to seeking the face of God until giants of our faith are willing to pay any price to obey God and advance the kingdom. Charismatic Pentecostal Movement must proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ and demonstrate the gifts and the power of the Holy Spirit. This Apostolic Church must be a Church of action. This Charismatic Pentecostalism is not some new phenomenon that is being born out of emotionalism.

Bread of Life Christian Ministries, Inc. today is part of a new great awakening which places more emphasis on the Holy Spirit, the gifts of the Holy Spirit, and the studying of doing God’s Word with power and demonstration. We believe in the power of God’s Word working in the life of the believer.

Bread of Life Christian Ministries, Inc. is committed to the restoration of the New Testament Church, with its five-fold ascension gifts, and the receiving of the Holy Ghost and all of His gifts operating in the Church and in the lift of the believers around the world. This form of Charismatic Pentecostalism will be the fastest growing Christian movement in the world. The religious community is asking, “Where is the power of salvation, healing and deliverance in the church today?”

Bread of Life Christian Ministries, Inc. has erupted out of our societies disenfranchised and has raised people to experience faith, hope and a desired will to return to holiness, by the power of the Holy Spirit. Bread of Life Christian Ministry believers accepts Jesus Christ just as He is represented in the Word of God. He is Sovereign Lord, Savior, Sanctifier, Healer, Holy Ghost Baptizer, and Coming King.
