Oaks of Righteousness is an intense discipleship program. This course is designed to minister to those who struggle with memories or wounds of the past, damaged emotions, compulsive behavior patterns. This class is also recommended to those interested in ministering to others effectively or those desiring a closer relationship with God. Anyone could benefit from the principles and ministry models learned through this ministry.

GOALS
The ultimate goal in the class is to bring people to a greater revelation of God as their father. Through this revelation comes the ability to break addictions, break spiritual bondages, restore identity, break insecurities, and grow in relationships with themselves, God and others.

METHOD
The method modeled during each person’s personal ministry times, will help identify the various  spiritual bondages that hinder us: unconfessed sins, unforgiveness, unbelief, pride, shame, wounds of rejection, curses, vows and judgements. During these times you will be coached in how to apply the redemption of the cross to these bondages.

MEANS
Considerable healing is done in the individual’s life through the following studies:

• The Divine Plumbline video series by Dr. Bruce Thompson (teaching and ministry)
• Extensive teachings in class on: Forgiveness, Relinquishment, Vows, Curses and Judgements.
• Renewing the mind (staff teaching on belief systems and personal application)
• Breaking Soul Ties (teaching and ministry)
• The Father Heart of God (teaching and ministry)
