Lifting the Sinkers



MINISTRY HISTORY

    The vision of Lifting the Sinkers Ministries was planted in the heart of its founder, Jerry Anze, many years before the work actually began.  In the fall of 2003, Jerry woke up one morning with three words: "Lifting the Sinkers".  He began to pray and seek God 's face.  It was at this point that God spoke to him and said, "Lift up those sinking in sin".  It was a word that would never be forgotten.  God's word was unmistakable, and from that point on Jerry kept praying fervently for a biblical understanding of the ministry and the beginning of the work which was to become his life's calling.  He was committed to pray regularly, along with others and his mentor, Manasseh Wakawa, for the establishment of the work which was later to become Lifting the Sinkers Ministries.

Statement of Belief:

· We believe that there is one living and true God, who eternally exist in three distinct persons; the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.

· We believe that salvation is by God’s grace and it is a gift of God received by faith alone. We believe that those who receive Jesus Christ as savior and Lord are miraculously born again by the Holy Spirit and become children of God and partakers of His divine nature.

· We believe that God created all, upholds all, and governs all, and He so loved the world, even in the midst of its fallenness and sin that He gave His only son for its redemption.

· We believe that Jesus Christ is God, the living word and is eternally pre-existent and co-equal with God the Father; that He became flesh through His sinless life and voluntarily atoned for the sins of men by dying on the cross as their substitute. He rose from the dead and is seated down at the right hand of God the Father.

· We believe in the literal physical return of our Lord Jesus Christ to take authority and rule on earth, and to judge the living and the dead.

· We believe that the believer possesses great authority through Christ over the power of spiritual darkness led by Satan, the ruler of this world. We actively exercise this authority as we walk by faith, pray and do spiritual warfare.

· We believe that the Holy Spirit is co-equal and co-eternal with the Father  and the Son; that He was active in the creation of all things; that He convicts the world of sin, righteousness, baptizes, indwells, anoints, illumines, guides and bestows this upon all believers. His fullness, power and Holiness are appropriated in the believer’s life through faith and obedience.

· We believe in the universal church, the living spiritual body of which Jesus Christ is the head and all regenerated persons are members, and in the unity of all believers in Christ with the evidence of that unity being shown by how we love one another.
