About The Truth In The Spirit

The Truth In The Spirit is a Messianic Apostolic Assembly of believers in Messiah Yeshua who have come together from all walks of life, ethnicities and religious experiences to prepare for Messiah’s return. We are “Messianic” in that our worship and doctrine come from the truth of the whole Bible, revealing and confirming itself, and the Messianic Foundation of the Christian Faith, to include spiritual observance of Torah and proclaiming the Gospel made in Zion. We are “Apostolic” in that we minister through and train others in the fivefold ministry gifts of the apostle, prophet, evangelist, pastor and teacher.

Though The Truth In The Spirit is based out of the Historic Antioch Baptist Church in Hayes, VA (USA), as an apostolic assembly, many ministries fall under our umbrella, to include Congregation Or Shalom, the Invitation Movement and the National Kingdom Council. We are joined remotely and spiritually by our members, partners and supporters in the global Body of Messiah all over the world, which means there is a place for you here! You can become an member as an individual or your ministry can be covered by TIS (see below). You could also become a partner as a scholar in our Priesthood Academy International, a ministry leader in our Ecclesia Network of Ministries or a business owner in our Nehemiah Network. Read our Statement of Faith below, so that we can come into agreement with each other!

Statement of Faith
The Truth In The Spirit is a Bible-based, non-profit organization focused on empowering youth and transforming our communities through proclaiming, demonstrating and teaching the following Seven Tenets:

God is One
“Sh’ma, Yisrael! ADONAI Eloheinu, ADONAI echad [Hear, Isra’el! ADONAI our God, ADONAI is one]”—Deuteronomy 6:4 (CJB)
There is only one God, and He is one (united, complete, whole). The God of Israel, Yahweh, is the Creator of the heavens and the earth. He manifests in relationship with humanity in three persons: the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. All three persons of God are united (one).

Salvation through Messiah Yeshua (Jesus Christ)
“For God so loved the world that he gave his only and unique Son, so that everyone who trusts in him may have eternal life, instead of being utterly destroyed.” —John 3:16 (CJB)
Messiah Yeshua (Jesus Christ) is the virgin-born Son of God who died for the sins of all mankind and rose from the dead so that we might be redeemed. We may only be saved through the acceptance of Yeshua (Jesus) as the Anointed One (Messiah) sent from God as our Redeemer. He will return to reign on earth with those who have believed in Him and obeyed His commandments.

Unity in Faith
“I pray not only for these, but also for those who will trust in me because of their word, that they may all be one. Just as you, Father, are united with me and I with you, I pray that they may be united with us, so that the world may believe that you sent me.” —John 17:20-21 (CJB)
Messiah Yeshua (Jesus Christ) was born into the nation of Israel with a mission to reconcile all people to God. Through Israel, the world received Yeshua (Jesus) and the Word of God. It was and is the prayer of Yeshua (Jesus) that all of God’s people, both Jews and Gentiles, would be one in Him as He is one with the Father.

The Word of God
“All Scripture is God-breathed and is valuable for teaching the truth, convicting of sin, correcting faults and training in right living; thus anyone who belongs to God may be fully equipped for every good work.”—2 Timothy 3:16-17 (CJB)
The Holy Bible, in its entirety—to include the Hebrew Holy Scriptures (aka Old Testament) and the New Covenant (aka New Testament)—is the infallible Word of God. It authenticates and interprets itself, and can only be fully understood when read under the guidance of the Holy Spirit. It helps to guide us into relationship with God, gives guidance in all areas of human life, and is necessary to understand God’s will in advancing His Kingdom.

True, Spiritual Worship
“God is spirit, and worshippers must worship him spiritually and truly.”—John 4:24 (CJB)
Our Father God is everywhere, and we may worship Him at anytime through the indwelling Holy Spirit. Only through the Holy Spirit may we even fathom the truth about ourselves, and the world, and in so doing, present ourselves to God authentically and completely.

The Great Commission
“Therefore go and make people from all nations into talmidim (disciples), immersing them into the reality of the Father, the Son and the Ruach HaKodesh (Holy Spirit).” — Matthew 28:19 (CJB)
God wants all people to be redeemed. Nationality, race, gender and denomination are of no consequence. Therefore, we have a responsibility to share the Good News of salvation in Messiah Yeshua (Jesus Christ), and welcome all to accept the triune God.

Children in the Kingdom
Mark 10:14-15—“Let the little children come to me, don’t stop them, for the Kingdom of God belongs to such as these. Yes! I tell you, whoever does not receive the Kingdom of God like a child will not enter it!” (CJB)
Youth and adults must recognize that young people play an important role in advancing the Kingdom of God. Additionally, adults must obey and revere God as children are expected to obey and revere their parents.

Become a Member of TIS or Bring Your Ministry Under the Covering of TIS

The Truth In The Spirit accepts members and ministries from all over the world, as God is raising up His remnant from every tribe, tongue, and nation. Initially, this can be a scary and lonely process, as you feel you are the only person in your region being called to this shift, but YOU ARE NOT ALONE! As an individual, you can be covered by TIS as a member. As a ministry leader, your ministry can come under the covering of TIS. Watch the vide on this page titled, "Under a Covering," to understand the Biblical purpose for a covering and how TIS covers individual believers and ministries.

Individual believers can join TIS as your primary ministry from anywhere in the world, and we will:
• Pray for you and your family daily,
• Guide you in Godly living and with Godly counsel according to the truth of the whole Bible,
• Prophetically seek God on your behalf for apostolic strategy,
• Provide you with spiritual mentorship and training to develop your spiritual gifts and send you into the harvest, and
• Be your spiritual family, regardless of changes in circumstances.

As you grow in knowledge and maturity, we’ll support you in the call of God upon your life, which may even include establishing a Messianic Assembly in your area of the world. If you know God has called you to this Messianic journey, prayerfully consider becoming a member of TIS. We’d love for you to become a part of our global family! For more information or to let us know that God is putting membership in TIS on your heart, simply complete the form below, and we’ll get back with you soon about the next steps.

If you bring your ministry under the covering of TIS, we will do all the above for you and also seek God on behalf of your ministry, support your ministry, help you to train and set apart your leaders, and work with you toward reclaiming your region for the Kingdom of God. Under the covering of TIS, your ministry will automatically be included in the Ecclesia Network of Ministries and also benefit from direct guidance from Apostle Markita Brooks and the leaders in TIS. If you know God has called you to this Messianic journey, prayerfully consider bringing your ministry under the covering of TIS, so that you'll know that you won't have to compromise the Truth and your ministry vision in order to stay covered and connected. We’d love for you to become a part of our global family!
