Elijah House was founded with the mandate to restore the hearts of the fathers to their children, and the hearts of the children to their fathers (Malachi 4:5-6). This is being accomplished by equipping the saints with biblical tools founded upon universal laws in the Word of God, to enable discernment of root issues and allow true healing.
These scriptural and universal laws are as follows:
- Honor your father and mother...that your days may be prolonged, and that it may go well with you (Deuteronomy 5:16)
- Do not judge, lest you be judged (Matthew 7:1-2)
- Whatever a man sows, this he will also reap (Galatians 6:7-8)
- Elijah House prayer ministry was founded through the pioneering work of John and Paula Sandford. It is primarily pastoral in nature, based on scriptural principles and led by the Holy Spirit. Prayer ministry at Elijah House will always include looking for the root causes that lie beneath the surface of most problems. "Bitter roots,� as we call them, feed patterns in us that lead to broken relationships, habitual sin, and many other kinds of "bad fruit." Once roots are discovered, the prayer minister leads the person in prayer at the foot of the Cross, to forgive those who wounded him/her, as well as to receive forgiveness for judgments and other strongholds his heart has formed. Each year, many individuals and families come from around the world to receive prayer ministry.
