What is Freedom Through Christ Ministry?

FTC is a Prophetic Ministry geared to break through the walls and obstacles in your life that have kept you from reaching the full potential of gifts and anointing the Lord designed you to function in.

Our enemy's greatest desire is to keep you from realizing who you are... and what you are capable of. If we all knew...and operated in our true identity and image of Christ, we would fear nothing...and the lies of the enemy we have believed about ourselves would be obvious and no longer hold us back from accomplishing that which the Lord has designed us to do.

We all face those brick walls that seem impassable. A mind-set of how we see ourselves due to a lifetime of conditioning, rejection and abuse. The world has flooded our TV sets with it's perception of beauty. Our parents, childhood friends and experiences have set within us a limited vision of who we are, rather than who we can be.

FTC will give you the tools to overcome those walls built around your heart and mind. Remove the legal right the enemy has been given in your life and destroy the image of this world and replace it with the image of Christ - to show you how your Lord sees you - healed, whole and fully functioning as His Bride.

Some of the specific areas ministered to are:
  • Receiving - Right Thinking, New Identity, Healing to Hurts of the Heart
What are you thinking?

Most of the time, we do not even recognize these destructive and restrictive thinking patterns. Below is a list of the most common thinking patterns identified through this ministry.

  • "I've messed up so bad that I've missed God's best for me."
  • "I don't measure up to other people's expectations."
  • "I am the problem. When something is wrong, it is my fault."
  • "I can't make it in life by myself."
  • "Turmoil is normal for me."
  • "I will always have financial problems."
  • "I am a burden to others."
  • "My value is in what I do."
  • "God is judging me when I relax. I have to stay busy in His work, or He will abandon me."
  • "God blesses other people more than He blesses me."
  • "I'm not worthy to be protected, so I have to take care of myself."
  • "I will isolate myself so that I won't be vulnerable to hurt or rejection anymore."
  • "It is impossible for me to lose (or gain) weight."
  • "I should have been a boy/girl then my parents would have loved me more."
  • "I have a hard time controlling..."
  • "If I give up my self hate, condemnation and shame, I will only become proud and arrogant."
  • "God has let me down before, He may do it again, I can't trust or feel secure with Him."
  • "I have wasted a lot of time and energy, some of my best years."
  • "I am a victim because of people and circumstances in my life."
  • "My best is not good enough, I will never be what God wants me to be."
  • "If I don't have a plan, things could get out of control."
  • "I will do almost anything to avoid conflict that could result in rejection."
  • "Sometimes I think it would have been better if I had never been born."

These patterns may be a part of you and have been accepted by you as a part of your identity. You may never even question their validity. "Why should you? It is who you are...who you have become...there is nothing else for you...you are not special enough to even matter to Him..."

This is what the enemy of our Lord would have you continue to believe. But He who is in you is bigger than he who is in the world! The Lord desires you to be free from those things that keep you in darkness and an unfulfilled identity. And so do you! The truth of this resonates with the Spirit of God within you. Just as Paul recognized the struggle in his own flesh, knowing what he wanted to do, yet still found himself doing that which he did not want to do...

If you identify with any of the statements above, and your heart's desire is to be free from them, we encourage you to contact our FTC Ministy Oversight below to set up an interview.
Testimonies

At the time I went through FTC, I was not talking to my mother and in fact it had been 30 years since I had, and my marriage was on the rocks.  I was numbing the pain through drugs and alcohol because what was my current life and my past were emotionally sick. As I was going through FTC, I was becoming closer to the Lord because I began to see the blessings.  I no longer needed the drugs and alcohol and my life started to change, by this I mean, I have a relationship with my mom and plan to see her in July. My marriage is very strong now because the Lord is first before anything.  I am now going back to school at the age of 46.  I am seeking a degree in Health Care Administration to pursue my heart’s desire to help others come out of their addictions by ministering to both the physical and spiritual needs.
All this is blessings from the Lord!
Rebecca Hoffman, April 20, 2009





It is amazing to see how we view ourselves, and the thoughts that govern our actions revealed through this process. It was like having a very dark pair of sunglasses removed...and I could finally see the truth! A truth I previously did not recognize or accept for myself. I had been banging my head against that brick wall for so long, that the pain had been numbed, or at least the pain I felt from banging my head was more noticeable than all the other pain I carried.

I cannot encourage others enough to go through this life changing process. The Word of God is so full of the truth of who I really am... - A child of the King, beloved, heir to the throne, blessed, and full of His Spirit... the list of who He says I am is all there... but only if I am willing to acknowledge His truth over the deceptive "truth" fed to me by my enemy.

I no longer recognize who I was before this ministry. The old woman is dead, and a new woman of God stands in her place fulfilling, demonstrating, and functioning in the true image of Christ.

Ministry Application & Interview

An interview is required for those who desire to receive ministry. This interview will help to identify those areas in need of specific focus. Also, because the Word of God is clear about an "unoccupied home" - the sincerity and single minded determination of the one receiving this ministry must be discussed.

Matthew 12:43-45 - "When an evil spirit comes out of a man, it goes through arid places seeking rest and does not find it. Then it says, 'I will return to the house I left.' When it arrives, it finds the house unoccupied, swept clean and put in order. Then it goes and takes with it seven other spirits more wicked than itself, and they go in and live there. And the final condition of that man is worse than the first.
Frequently Asked Questions


QUESTION
What do you mean by "Prophetic Ministry"?

ANSWER
We are all prophetic. The Lord speaks to all of us. We just need to learn how to listen. Just as Elisha spent years in training with Elijah - our ministers have been trained and discipled to listen to the voice of God for you personally and discern those spirits that may be of influence in your life that you may not be aware of.

1 Corinthians 14:39-40 - Therefore, my brothers, be eager to prophesy, and do not forbid speaking in tongues. But everything should be done in a fitting and orderly way.

Other Scriptures:  Acts 2:17-18; 1 Corinthians 13:9, 14:9, 14:31



QUESTION
What are "Generational Curses"?

ANSWER
A generational curse is something that appears consistantly or "generationally" within a family line. Such as, poverty, certain illnesses (i.e. cancer, athsma, bone disease, heart disease, obesity, etc.), premature death, alchoholism, drug abuse, sexual abuse, violence, among many others. You may already be thinking of an "issue" within your family line that seems to have followed you and your relatives.

This portion of the ministry deals with those specifically targeted issues within your family allowing that curse to be broken and healed. The immediate benefit is the freedom you will experience in your personal life. But the greatest is that this curse will no longer follow your children or grandchildren...from generation to generation.

We must remember, as stated in Exodus 20, that for unforgiven sin in our families lines, or dedications made by them to "idols", that Lord said he would "punish the children" - repentance and forgiveness wipes clean our slates before His eyes. You may say that this "curse" in your family has gone on longer that three or four generations. However, also keep in mind that UNTIL repentance and forgiveness takes place, the enemy has no reason to stop these issues from following you and your children.

Exodus 20:5-6 - You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the fathers to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me, but showing love to a thousand {generations} of those who love me and keep my commandments.

Other Scriptures:  Exodus 3:15, Psalms 24:3-6, Isaiah 34:10, Luke 50:1 (not exhaustive)




QUESTION
What is a "Stronghold"?

ANSWER
Ephesians 6:11-13  -  Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand.

We must remember we do not wrestle against flesh and blood. Our enemy has its own kingdoms set up on this earth, its own strongholds and principalities. These same exist in our own lives. Impregnable fortifications designed to keep us locked up in the tallest towers. Prisoners and slaves to those areas we have given legal right to exist.

Once we remove that legal right to have influence over our life, our thinking, and our functions, then we are able to destroy those strongholds and replace them with the Stronghold of the Lord.

Psalm 144:2 - He is my loving God and my fortress, my stronghold and my deliverer,  my shield, in whom I take refuge, who subdues peoples under me.




QUESTION
What is the enemy's "Legal Right"?

ANSWER
The enemy of our Lord is a legalist to the extreme. The best example of this is when Jesus was in the desert for 40 days and encountered the devil who attempted to use His own word against Him. (Matthew 4) Satan knows the written word. And he will twist it in his attempt to use it against us.

We are subject to the laws that govern us, and the consequences of tickets, fines or prison when we break the law. Say that we are caught going over the speed limit. This action gives specific authority to the law enforcement officer to give us a ticket, or, depending on how fast we were going, he may decide to take us in and impound our car. The key here is the authority he is given by our action in breaking the law.

When we break the laws of God, we open the door for the enemy to have a legal right to hold us accountable - and he does so with a vengence. He uses our guilt, shame and fear to manipulate the truth we are living in.

The only way to close this "legal" door we have opened is to seek His forgiveness and to forgive ourselves. To remove that legal right the enemy is all to willing to take advantage of and then remove him from our lives. Keep in mind, you can remove all the legal rights in your life, but until you assert the authority given to you by Christ, the enemy will stay and continue to cause problems.

This story provides the best example of how this authority works. Let's say you go to a local auto dealer an purchase your dream vehicle. You begin to make monthly payments, but find that the payments are becoming too much...and you fall behind, assessing late fees and those exciting phone calls from the bank gently reminding you that if you don't make a payment soon, they will be forced to repossess your dream vehicle. However, being blessed as you are you have a close personal friend who gives everything he has to help you. He goes to the bank and pays off your loan and returns to you with the title to the car (or Hummer... whatever, it's your dream!) - You now own the car and have the title to prove it. Soon after this, two men from the bank show up at your door telling you that they have come to reposess your vehicle. At this point, you have two choices. You can stand there feeling powerless as they drive away with your car... or....... you can show them the title! It's your car! You have the authority! And they don't! - We must assert our authority in the face of the enemy or he will walk all over us...because we let him. No more!

Once we remove the legal right the enemy has in our lives, we MUST assert that authority we have in the name of Jesus and refuse to believe that we are powerless to stop him as he interferes with what we have been called to do.

Ephesians 4:26-28 - "In your anger do not sin": Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry, and do not give the devil a foothold. He who has been stealing must steal no longer, but must work, doing something useful with his own hands, that he may have something to share with those in need.
