Tetelestai is the Greek word which Jesus spoke from the cross in His final moments of mortality. The English translation, “It is finished!” (John 19:30), is the basis for this program.
We believe that Jesus’ words hold miraculous power. We speak these words into our own lives and into the lives of other survivors. We are confident that a spiritual principle is set in play when our statements come into alignment with the words of God.
So also, will be the word that I speak: it will not fail to do what I plan for it; it will do everything I send it to do.Isaiah 55:11
Since Jesus gave witness on the cross, “It is finished,” we align with Him in calling an end to our disease of addiction and dysfunctional behaviors. We testify in agreement with Jesus and thus, the matter is resolved.
Every matter must be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses. 2 Corinthians 13:1
We believe that the disease of addiction and its accompanying dysfunctions can be over-powered by two distinct elements:
Christ’s blood as a divine transfusion which heals us from the inside out.
The words we speak testify to this truth.
And they have defeated the powers of darkness by the blood of the Lamb and by the words of their testimony. Revelation 12:11
Therefore, we join forces in the spirit realm through our spoken words as we gather together. We each testify to the power of Christ who heals and delivers us from what we fear most – ourselves.
I discovered that good people are hard to find. Such people are one in a million!

You do not consider your life to be your own. You know that your life is set on a specific course designed by God. Your existence holds significant implications for future generations and you do not take this responsibility lightly.
This knowledge doesn’t indicate an attitude of presumption or arrogance, but rather, a position of humility. You know that your role is one of duty, rather than that of comfort and self-indulgence.
You know that without God’s gift of guidance, you would be wandering through life unsure of your purpose. Without knowing your purpose, you would be subject to life on the proverbial hamster wheel, struggling to find meaning for your existence.
You are grateful for the destiny you have been given and you know that there is nothing you lack in order to fulfill it.
