All ministry through Bear
Creek Ranch must maintain vigilant attention upon maturity and healthy relationships.
We function as a family of kings, each focusing upon the stretch toward
maturity personally and corporately by maturing in our inner life and in
relationship with others. We are all equipping one another in the pursuit of
healing of the whole self: Spirit, Soul, and Body.
“So
Christ himself gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors
and teachers, to equip his people for works of service, so that the body of
Christ may be built up until we all
reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become
mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ.” (Ephesians 4:11-13)

Engaging Brokenness… The Saints are broken and we engage
that brokenness with deliverance and inner healing. “The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and contrite
heart, O God, you will not despise.” (Psalm 51:17)
Quickening Relationship… The Kingdom of God is all about
relationship. We are committed to reconnecting and healing the relationships with
self, with others, and with God. “’Love
the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your
mind…’ and the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’” (Matthew
22: 37-39)
Unearthing Identity... The King of kings is revealing His
True Identity. As we discover our identity, we become the fodder for spiritual
giftings for the benefit of all. “For we
were all baptized by one Spirit so as to form one body—whether
Jews or Gentiles, slave or free—and we were all given the one Spirit to
drink. Even so the body is not made up of one part but of many.” (1
Corinthians 12:13-14)
Instructing Servant Kings… Practical training and coaching is
essential to healthy Kingdom living. As a family of servant kings, we get our
own revelations through asking questions and retraining the mind in upside-down
Kingdom thinking which leads to healing for the Spirit, Soul, and Body. “Do not conform to the pattern of this
world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will
be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and
perfect will.” (Romans 12:2)
Pursuing Jesus’ Mission… As servants to the King of kings, we
are dedicated to fulfilling each portion of Jesus’ stated mission. “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because
he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal
the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of
sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, to preach the
acceptable year of the Lord.” (Luke 4:18-19 KJV)
