Free Indeed: BATTLE LINE VS. GOD'S PLAN

BATTLE LINE VS. GOD'S PLAN

MAN'S BATTLE LINE

Greetings All,

Free Indeed Central Oregon (FICO) is officially up and running! We held our first meeting and had a great time.

I would like to thank those who came for their time and their heart to learn this “new” message and leave with a whole new perspective.

As you know, FICO is dedicated to teaching all people the truth of the Love of God for each of us right where we are in life. Although this message seems to be spoken, oft times, you only have to look at the media and see the battle between social opinion and the church. This leaves the people lost or torn.

We were able to share openly about what it means to let God meet you where you are. What does that look and feel like? We agreed and know God is with us when we say, “come as you are! Don’t change or try to get better!” Just make one move toward him (a prayer or cry for help) and He will show up with all of heaven and his Angels to protect you.

Remember, all sin has been dealt with at the cross. There is no more recollection of sin against you once you believe and accept what Jesus has done for us. All sin and shame has been forgiven and judged and your Heavenly Father promised, “I will remember your sin no more.” That being true, there is no need for you who struggle, to be fearful of FICO. We are no different than you. Our “wishes” finally made it to reality (We are The Apple of His Eye) and we want to show you how we did it! And send you on your life’s journey with this freedom.

We spent most of our time discussing our FICO statement of who we are and pursing the truth. Not everyone present was in or has ever had a struggle with same sex attraction (SSA). The message was just as eye opening for them as they only knew the battle words of the media vs. the church. Now they are able to reach out to anyone and let them know there is no condemnation in Christ or in them.

We laughed, we cried, we prayed, we shared we were blessed!

From Brandon’s Heart:

Being someone who has never experienced the lifestyle and who has never experienced the actual struggle of SSA, I grew up with the perspective that was accepted and ever changing in both society and the church. Knowing John has opened my eyes to the truth about the character of Jesus and the Grace of our amazing God. My heart is changed for the better. I look forward to the Lord using me to love those who have never been loved so deeply as me!

What an honor to be in the presence of a man like Brandon. This is the heart of Free Indeed C.O. and ever shall be.

In closing, I invite you to reach out to us in safety and protection. Knowing In our hearts we are for you not against your lifestyle.

GOD'S PLAN!

"ALLL WE WANT TO CHANGE IS YOUR MIND ABOUT GOD"

Our Focus

ree Indeed stands on a razors’ edge between conservative Christianity (which often leads to legalism and works based faith) and liberal societal theology (all truth is God’s truth, no absolute morality, etc) which has lead to the diluting and perversion of scripture and a splitting of the body of Christ, cultural battle lines being drawn, and a new false moral standard being created. We see two ends of a spectrum seeking to understand the middle. We know the middle and we firmly lay the cross of Jesus here without apology. (Gal 5:2-4)

Though these views both claim (apart from each other) to work toward the same goal of relationship with Christ, they do not. Again, in between these two is where Free Indeed stands. To fill this gap and allow everyone to come closer to each other through the grace and truth that Jesus gave to all mankind. To cause all, both the liberal and the legalist, to know grace and freedom found in Christ more and thus grow closer to Him. (Gal 5:1)

We stand firm on gospel truth.

We accept all people just as they are as Christ does and did.

We are here for all who seek a personal relationship with God through Jesus Christ without any regard to your choice of sexual preference or sexual activity.

We are founded on the Bible and its’ truths and the path set before us to be sexually moral before God. (1Cor 6:18)

t is the mission and purpose of Free Indeed to equip all with knowledge, wisdom and understanding of morality before a righteous God. (Proverbs 1:7, 2:10-11 & James 1:5)

Our Focus is NOT:

• the “latest thing” in same sex

cures.

• to tell you what is wrong with

you.

• condemnation, shame or fear.

• to judge your life or lifestyle.

Whether you live in an active LGBTQ

lifestyle, coming out of it, or considering

proceeding into it for the first

time, we are here for you.

Pornography (in all forms) and sexual addiction

In the “straight” world can be healed with help.

We are here for you too.

We do not believe in nor will we promote “Reparative Therapy”. We are not a “Recovery” group!

We do not believe SSA is in and of itself sin.

Come to Jesus as you are without changing who you are beforehand! (Rev 22:17)

We are here to help you find him in a safe, open and accepting environment.

We CAN CHANGE NO ONE! We do not believe the message of Free Indeed can fundamentally change any one or make them do what we or others want them to do. We know true change only comes from the heart of God and only by submission of our free will unto his authority. (Rom 12:2)

We do not promote living in a promiscuous homosexual lifestyle.

We do not promote living an opposite sex “open” lifestyle. Sexual activity outside of marriage is not approved of by God according to his Word.

We do not promote identity or gender questioning therapy even unto making physical changes to the body to modify based on emotion or unresolved thoughts.

We do not promote or approve of the use of or a casual relationship with pornography of any kind. Including but not limited to straight, gay, lesbian, animal, child or violence porn.

We believe pornography and its’ addictive nature is a sexual identity issue and the person using it is in crisis and therefore in need of immediate and deep rooted help.

We believe you can be a Christian and be confused by same sex attraction to the point of living an openly gay lifestyle.

We believe God has given all mankind provision to walk in freedom of SSA if one so chooses. (1Cor 10:13)

We ACCEPT all who come to us or reach to us for help, understanding or long term friendship and discipleship without a requirement to change first.

We know that to LIVE RIGHT YOU MUST FIRST BELIEVE RIGHT! Not the other way around. Jesus always blessed first then set people on their new path of life. We are committed to do the same.

Acceptance: To allow someone to be whoever they are in front of you and become what they are called to be before God.

Lack of Acceptance: To expect someone to change to be near you or to reject them because they have chosen a new path in life that no longer agrees with or parallels what you knew them to once believe.

Grace is the power Jesus gave us to walk in an upright holy relationship with our creator God.

Grace is NOT permission to lay down in your sin or trouble and expect God to look the other way because it’s “too hard”. All sin being equal to God, there is no excuse.

God does NOT look upon our sin and bless it because we choose not to believe his word and power are sufficient for our lives every day in every way. (2Cor 12:9)

A true follower of the Christ of the Bible will understand the meaning of LOVE and act on it toward all man even to the point of laying down ones’ own right and life. (1Cor 13:4-8a)

e of Free Indeed want you to see God in a “new” (to you) way. He is pure love and peace. Do not condemn someone from God because you don’t like what they do as this puts you in rebellion against the Cross. Do not accept someone into a life of perceived openness which will lead to their death, both spiritually and physically. The “ruler of this world” wants to destroy you and everyone you love. He is just waiting for you to reject and harm someone you know or meet so they will feel as if there is no other choice but to follow their confusion and hurt feelings into their death.

WE ARE HERE FOR THOSE WHO ARE IN NEED OF HELP NAVIGATING THE DIFFICULT TERRAIN OF SAME SEX ATTRACTION, SEXUAL IDENTITY, GENDER IDENTITY, HOMOSEXUALITY (INCLUDING PORNOGRAPHY) WITHOUT REGARD TO YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD AND WITHOUT REGARD TO YOUR CURRENT SEXUAL IDENTITY (STRAIGHT, GAY LGBTQ).
