In conclusion, Footprints of Hope believes in the Holy Bible as the inspired, infallible Word of God. We believe in the power of the Holy Spirit to mend broken lives through the scriptures. We are wholly dependent upon the scriptural application of God's Word to apply the gospel of Christ by renewing of the mind. We encourage others to be patient in the "process" of sanctification and to experience firsthand God's love, forgiveness, power and healing in the areas of our greatest weaknesses. Emphasizing gradual change in behavior, as the "truth" of God's word takes root. We believe this will provide a strong foundation for a lasting recovery, and a healthy emotional. physical and spiritual life. God in His infinite mercy can restore his broken people to wholeness, one step and one day at a time. Isaiah 61:1-3 The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me, because the Lord has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty for the captives. and release from darkness for the prisoner, To proclaim the year of the Lord's favor and the day of vengeance of our God, to comfort all who mourn, and to provide for all those who mourn, beauty for ashes, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair. They will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the Lord for the display of His splendor.
