Ministry is not only included in our
name, also a verb we try to walk out at Olive Branch. As
Kingdom Believers, we model our ministries after the teachings
of Messiah. Just as Messiah ministered based on love and
relationship Olive Branch does not confine to the religion,
labels and traditions that are so popular in worship today.
Our focus is on building a relationship with our Father
which is paramount to building our faith and in turn, promotes
unity among His body and intensifies our relationships with
each other.
We worship in song, word, teachings, through Scripture
and strive to reflect worship in our daily lives. Worship
is not for any specified time of day, or day of the week,
but a lifestyle.
Olive Branch Ministries is both a local and broad based
ministry comprised of kingdom minded believers, who come
together to celebrate our commonness and study our differences.
We believe in the absolute validity of the scriptures,
and the Torah as our Heavenly Fathers instruction for
correct relationship, both our relationships toward one
another and our relationship with Him. We believe that
Messiah Himself validated this point in Matthew 22:37-40.
We agree that Torah is not a means to salvation, we do
however, acknowledge that it is the path of sanctification,
alluded to by the church for centuries, but without a
full understanding. We believe in the validity of the
restored sacred names of our heavenly father and His Son,
our Messiah, instead of the names of Jesus and God.
In this website, and our teachings, we refer to the Hebrew
name of YAHWEH as the name of our heavenly Father and
the name of YAHSHUA as the name given by YAHWEH via the
messenger Gabriel to Mary in Luke 1:31 as the true name
of our Messiah. We believe that the only answer for sin
and the only hope for mans fallen state is the shed blood
of Yahshua Messiah. We believe in the priesthood of the
believer, and that each person is created with purpose
and for a destiny, and therefore each individual is given
spiritual endowments to accomplish these destinies and
individuals need to be educated and activated in their
gifting.
Our ministry is one of inner healing and deliverance,
focusing on overcoming strongholds through repentance
and forgiveness. Although we believe in demonic
influence, we know more can be accomplished by removing
their legal rights. This allows for a more complete
deliverance leaving no grounds for them to return.
We are dedicated to educating the body of Messiah in
the foundational truths of Torah as well as scriptural
principles of spiritual
authority and the gifts
(charismas) of the Spirit.
