Elijah House TeachingsElijah House ministry is based firmly on Biblical principles that:

It is the power of the cross, through the Holy Spiritand by the truth of God’s Word, that works to bringlasting healing and restoration to the family.

God’s laws, both natural and spiritual, are absoluteand are written into the universe. Laws such as:

Honour your father and mother Ephesians 6:2-3

Judge others and you will be judged Matthew 7:1-2

You reap what you sow Galatians 6:7-8

The principle of increase Hosea 8:7a

These laws impact our lives whether or not webelieve or understand them, and we reap theconsequences when we break them.

Elijah House Teachings (cont’d)

The driving force behind the recurring patternsof trouble in our lives start when:

As small children we respond to hurts insinful ways

We nurture seeds of anger, resentment, bitterness and unforgiveness in our hearts

As adults we forget the incidents that ledto the hurt and react to people in ways wedon’t understand

Elijah House Teachings (cont’d)

Christ’s work is complete, but God is still at work in our lives. True freedom requires first recognizing that many of today’s problems have their roots in our sinful responses to yesterday’s wounds.
