Why is freedom in Christ important for every believer?
Our salvation in Christ is just the beginning of our discipleship journey to maturity. Sadly, many of God’s people are stuck in wrong thinking, feeling and doing; so they can’t grow up spiritually or be fruitful. There is a missing ingredient, a bridge, between our salvation in Christ and our maturity in Christ—that bridge is discipleship which includes our freedom in Christ.
Since Christ already died for our freedom, how can a Christian not be free?
Every Christian is deeply loved by God, but not all experience that love. Likewise, every believer in Christ has been set free from the law of sin and death (Romans 8:1–2), but not all are experiencing that freedom. We must stand firm and not allow ourselves to be enslaved again (Galatians 5:1).
Is FICM only for struggling Christians?
Absolutely not. Every believer needs to know his or her new identity, position, authority and freedom in Christ. We all battle the traps of the world, sinful tendencies of the flesh and temptations, tricks, and taunts of the devil. FICM is a discipleship ministry for the whole church so that all may walk intimately with Christ as His free and fruitful followers.
Is FICM a spiritual warfare ministry?
FICM is a discipleship ministry. We provide biblically balanced tools to help believers reject lies and choose truth, having their minds renewed and their lives transformed in Christ. Any discipleship ministry that ignores the reality of the spiritual world will be fundamentally flawed. But our purpose in FICM is to help God’s people walk closely with the Lord Jesus, freely abiding in Him and bearing much fruit for His glory.
How does FICM equip leaders?
We equip pastors and lay leaders to personally experience and effectively teach the life-giving truths of our identity, position, authority and freedom in Christ through Community Freedom Ministry University (CFMU). Through CFMU, leaders are also prepared to take their people through a biblical, transferable ministry tool of repentance and faith called The Steps to Freedom in Christ.
Does FICM have an online store?
Yes! Our FICM Online Bookstore has over 100 books, DVDs, and other tools to help believers live free and fruitful lives in Christ. Whether you or those you lead are wrestling with fear, anxiety, anger, depression, addiction, or something else, we are happy to help you discover which ministry tool is right for you.
