The Lord has given an us awareness of the great needs that encompass all those that name His Name in this hour. As a people that are called unto a life of commitment, service, and holiness unto the Lord Jesus, many times we do not manifest an awareness of this call and the responsibility that we have unto this generation.

 One thing that troubles me is the lack of oneness in the Body of Christ: so many groups, so many identities. I believe there is a desperate need to provoke all those that are called by the name of the Lord Jesus to draw near to our God and begin to walk in the Spirit like never before, without regard of denominational structures.

 It feels like there is a time of great trouble coming and we, the Body of Christ, must put on strength while there is time. Jer. 12;5

Therefore, Trim the Lamps Ministry is purposed to labor within the corporate setting of the Body of Christ to encourage, provoke, instruct, and train in things pertaining to the kingdom of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Trim the Lamps Ministry will serve both as a church and a ministry. By using such distinction of terms, we seek to draw attention to the broader purpose of Trim the Lamps Ministry; we will seek to work with the Holy Spirit to impact both the local body of believers (church) as well as pursue a contribution on a larger scale to the whole body of Christ.

We recognize and expect to function as a local body of believers in accordance with the Word of God. We will provide a place of worship, training, fellowship, and development in the Holy Spirit. With the five-fold ministry and the operation of the gifts/ministries of the Spirit, Trim the Lamps Ministry will serve as a church to all those who join or associate with us.

We purpose that we would teach every believer to first walk with God, then grow in the grace and functioning of the Holy Spirit that is purposed for every believer. In Trim the Lamps Ministry we desire that the full range of the uniqueness of the gifts of the Spirit would be seen, such as exhortation, teaching, service, hospitality, administration and benevolence, intercession, worship; and that we would learn to honor all in all.

But whether serving as a local church or as a ministry to the Body of Christ and the Kingdom of God in the earth, Trim the Lamps Ministry will have the following as its overall purposes and goals.

Envisionment and Purposes
