Our Mission

"That He would grant you according to His riches in glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man (woman); that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height; to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God. Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works within us. To Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations forever and ever. Amen." Ephesians 3:16-21

Our goal is to ground women in God's Word, deepen their faith, help them to have a more intimate relationship with our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, and help them to know the One who loves them with a perfect love. And to help women ASPIRE to be all that God created them to be.

ASPIRE MENTORING MINISTRY
Our Purpose, Mission Statement and Goal

To see a multitude of women, "spiritual daughters"....raised up, equipped, to show the love of Jesus and mentor other women in their sphere of influence.

To provide leadership, activate and inspire women to be mighty warriors, seasoned women of God- women reaching women as we are commanded in Titus 2.

To teach, exhort, encourage and help empower a multitude of women in their calling.

To under-gird and cover them in prayer.

To impart into them the necessary spiritual wisdom, counsel, advise and discernment to cause them to grow and be healed spiritually, emotionally and physically, so they may understand and know their individual call and purpose, their divine design, and fresh new anointing of God on their lives.

To be reconcilers, to rejoice with others in the body of Christ, and to be vessels of love and mercy.

To pour into them life lessons, scripture, prayer and time necessary for them to mature in their faith, passing a mantle from one generation to the next, so they may serve and lead.

To help them discover, unlock, understand and spotlight their spiritual gifts and encourage them for their next level of anointing.

To help stir up their gifts and callings and stand guard over them as they begin to practice the mighty wonderful Presence of God and the awesome supernatural power of His Holy Spirit.

STATEMENT OF FAITH - ASPIRE MINISTRIES

Sandra Bontemps and Janis Smith

THE WORD OF GOD -We believe the Bible, both Old and New Testaments, are inspired by God’s Holy Spirit and is the inerrant Word of God. The Bible is the only supreme final authority and our source of divine revelation. We believe in His Word, God reveals His will, redemptive plan and purpose for the salvation of all mankind.

2 Timothy 3:16, 2 Peter 1:20-21, Hebrews 4:12

THE TRIUNE. THE TRINITY. THREE IN ONE

GOD THE FATHER, GOD THE SON, AND GOD THE HOLY SPIRIT

We believe there is only one true God, the Creator of the Universe and all things, and that He revealed Himself in Three Persons, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, eternal in existence, glory and power. Matthew 28:19, Luke 3:21, Matthew 6:9.

JESUS CHRIST - We believe that Jesus is the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to God our Father, except through Him. John 3:38, John 3:31-32, John 14:6. We believe that Jesus is God and man. He was conceived of the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary. He sacrificed Himself upon the Cross of Calvary, and died that we may have eternal life. We believe that through his shed atoning blood we are saved, healed and set free from bondage of sin. He was resurrected and arose from the dead on the third day. He ascended to Heaven to sit at the right Hand of God as High Priest. He told His disciples that His Father God would send His Holy Spirit so we would be empowered to continue His ministry. John 1:14, Acts 17.

HOLY SPIRIT - The comforter and promise of our Father God. The Revealer and distributor of Gifts for the Church. For regeneration, restoration, unification of The Church for ministry, godly living and service. Acts 1:4-8

HUMANITIES NEED FOR OUR LORD AND SAVIOR, JESUS CHRIST - Genesis 1:27, Romans 5:12, Romans 3:23.

“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against there is no law.”

DIVINE HEALING, SPIRITUALLY, EMOTIONALLY AND PHYSICALLY -

We believe that it is God’s will to heal and deliver His people today just as He did in the days of the first Apostles. We believe by His stripes we are healed, delivered and made whole. We believe we have authority over sickness, disease, demons, curses and every circumstance in our lives. Luke 10:19, 2 Corinthians 10:4-5, I Peter 2:24

THE LAYING ON OF HANDS - Healing, laying on of hands, anointing with oil, deliverance from bondage and oppression in the Name of Jesus. Acts 10:38, Mark 16:17-18, James 5:14-16

THE ABUNDANT LIFE IN CHRIST - James 4:4, Romans 12:1-2, 2 Corinthians 3:18. Holiness. Righteousness in Christ. Changing into His image, from glory to glory. We believe that the supernatural wonder-working power of God, His illuminated Truth in His Living Word, the Bible, bearing witness to His Holy Spirit, fused with His might and strength, nor ours, gives us the abundant life God has promised.

MANIFESTATIONS OF THE GIFTS OF GOD’S HOLY SPIRIT - Holy Spirit empowers us for abundant and victorious living and faithful service when we totally surrender control of our lives to the control of God’s Holy Spirit. Galatians 5:16-26. We believe in the present day ministry of the Holy Spirit and the Gifts of the Spirit, for empowerment, edification and operation.

GODLY SPIRITUAL ENCOUNTERS AND ANGELS - We believe that all Spirit encounters must line up with God’s Word. The Scriptures also teach that Angels encamp around the righteous. Hebrews 12:22 tells us that we have come to an “innumerable company of angels.” They were created before the earth. They are not to be worshiped and are subject to God. Psalm 103:20 tells us that they carry out God’s orders. Daniel 9:21 says they bring answers to our prayers. Hebrews 1:14 says they minister to the saints. Acts 7:53 tells us that they do extraordinary acts. Matthew 18:10 tells us they watch over our children. And Luke 1 tells us they bring God’s people special messages.

DREAMS AND VISIONS - Acts 2:17 “And it will come to pass in the last days, says God, that I will pour out of My Spirit on all flesh; Your sons and your daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams.”

THE CHURCH, THE BRIDE OF CHRIST - We believe the Church is the Body of Christ. And Christ is the head of the true Church and the people are all unified through faith and belief in Jesus Christ. Filled with the Holy Spirit. Unified in one accord. Recognizing and using all Gifts of the Holy Spirit. Filled with Fruit of the Spirit. Praying, praising and worshiping the Lord in spirit, truth, song and dance. I Corinthians 12:12, Ephesians 1:22-23. His Bride, Ephesians 5:25. Temple of the Holy Spirit, I Corinthians 3:16. We are a holy priesthood in love, unity, and faith.

THE GREAT COMMISSION - OUR MANDATE - To spread the gospel to all the world. To all nations, baptizing and teaching them to obey Jesus commandments. Matthew 28:18-20, Matthew 10:7-8, Isaiah 61, Mark 16:15-18. Preaching the Word. Acts 1:8.

PRAY. PRAY. PRAY. PRAYERS THAT OUTWIT THE ENEMY. God’s Word tells us to pray always without ceasing. Living out faith.

STAY IN GOD’S WORD - We believe in praying the scriptures out loud, decreeing, proclaiming and professing that Jesus Christ is Lord of lords and King of kings to all the world. God wants us to learn all His names and call His names out loud.

INTIMACY WITH JESUS - We believe that we should spend time with Jesus each day, developing an intimate relationship with Him. And that experiencing spiritual intimacy in Jesus, this powerful relationship, is more important than “religion.” Jesus is the Lamb of God. The Prince of Peace.

HEARING FROM GOD - We believe that communion with God is one of His deepest desires for us. God created us for His supreme purposes, for Him. He wants to have a loving relationship with us. He desires to speak to us not only through His Word, but by His Spirit. He wants us to know and recognize His voice.

THE SECOND COMING OF CHRIST- Christ’s Kingdom is revealed on earth through His Body, His Church. The harvest is white. God is shaking down His Kingdom. He is shaking anything that is not of His Kingdom. He will be revealed through His soon coming. Acts 1:11, I Thessalonians 4:16-17, Titus 2:12, 2 Thessalonians 1:7-10.

DIVINE REVELATIONS TO COME- We believe in Divine Revelations and Impartations that will line up with God’s Word. Prophetic words of knowledge.

We believe that the greatest gift of all is love. God wants us to show His love in all we do. I Corinthians 1:13. We need the passion of Christ. And to be empowered by God’s Holy Spirit.

Our Prayer is for you to be:

Women of faith
Women of prayer
Women of integrity
Women of purpose and mission
Women who serve others
Women who seek the Lord in their daily lives
Women who are under the authority in their marriage and church
Women who are called, and will answer the call to Christian leadership and ministry
Women who have humility and gratefulness in their hearts
Women who desire to promote, encourage and impart to others
Women who possess the Fruits of the Spirit
Women who encourage, inspire and grow other women
Women who aspire to be all that God created and intended you to be

The Greatest Gift Is The Gift Of Love

Jesus said in John 13:34 " A new commandment I give unto you. That ye love one another, as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. " In John 13:35, Jesus also tells us that our love is the quality by which others will know that we are His disciples. I have found that love is explosive. It does more to cause others to embrace Christianity than anything else.

It is our humble prayer that God will use us as strong, willing , influential vessels, filled to overflowing with His grace, mercy and love, as we teach, impart, inspire and encourage each of you to fulfill God's unique divine design, purpose and potential in your life. And that God will use us to help unlock your spirit and stir up the gifts within you. We will stand guard over you as you begin to practice the mighty and wonderful Presence of God and the awesome power of His Holy Spirit.

Blessings and grace, Your Guardians
