God has provided believers with His baseline truth. Everything else we read in Scripture can be compared to the baseline truth to provide us with the certainty of whether or not we are correctly interpreting what we read. This baseline of truth forms a foundation. The foundation supports and sustains all that is built on it!The writer of the Book of Hebrews identified a foundation for New Covenant Faith. These seven doctrines provide the basis for faith that is unshakable and immovable. They also provide a spiritual GPS that ensures we will never "run off the rails" with strange doctrine. Furthermore, it provides a path to ensure that we grow to be spiritually mature believers who can not only stand strong for ourselves but can also become teachers and leaders who guard and guide the flock of God! These seven doctrines comprise a shield of truth that will guard our hearts and minds against spiritual deception.As you read the following pages, I would encourage you to use the seven doctrines to evaluate your current beliefs about God. Any place you find a discrepancy between the foundations of the faith and your current beliefs, make the proper adjustments.

The Bible teaches that we will experience God based on how we perceive Him. Incidentally, it's the same with God, people, and the world at large; we are never fully experiencing anyone as they are as much as the way we perceive them. Contrary to what religion has pushed down our throats for centuries, God is proactively attempting to give us life at its best! But like the children of Israel, because of our beliefs, we limit what God can do in our lives. What if we could identify just 10 words that, when properly understood, could change the way we perceive and experience God and open our hearts to an entirely new level of hope, faith and optimism? > These are the words that: -Religion deliberately mistranslated to make you see God has harsh and vengeful! -Reveal the love of God beyond anything you've ever imagined! -Remove the veil from your heart that limits how what you can receive from God! -Make walking with God easy and light! -Will make you fall deeper in Love with God. -Develop an immovable trust in Him.

The twenty-first-century church is a product of years of unbelief which has been handed down from generation to generation. Like the Pharisees of Jesus' day, our doctrines are "the traditions of men." We have limited God to the unbelief of our predecessors. That is the reason the church today is not seeing the power of God manifested in signs and wonders and mighty miracles. Like the prophet Elisha, we must boldly ask, "Where is the God of Elijah?" If we are not seeing the miracles in our day, we must acknowledge that God has not changed (James 1:17): we are the ones that have limited what He can do in our day. God is willing to be everything to us that He has been to any person named in the Bible. The only thing that has changed is our perception of God. Each chapter in this book is a self-contained lesson and is short enough to be read in just a few minutes. You will learn... * How we have been taught to place limits on God * How to break the cycle of destructive, negative thinking * How to establish a true sense of self-worth The key to your freedom is taking the limits off God...

There are many things that we all believe yet do not experience. We all want victory, yet few find it. One of our greatest frustrations is that much of what we believe really doesn't work.

We know there's something missing, but we're not sure what. In our search for truth, we lose our way among the dos and don'ts of religion.
