The Elijah Centre Reformation Mandate

The word ‘reformation’ is used in most English translations of the Bible in Heb. 9:10.

The word comes from the Gk. diorthosis and it means to straighten thoroughly. In a physical sense, it refers to a making straight, restoring to its natural and normal condition, something which in some way protrudes or has got out of line, like broken or misshapen limbs.

It is the word from which we get the English word orthopaedic – the study of the human skeletal structure. This word is associated with a skeletal adjustment. Therefore it points to a structural change of the internal hidden skeleton that gives shape to the body.

Elijah Centre as a reformation church focuses not on the external shapes of the Church as a determinant for accurate spiritual alignment. The emphasis is placed on the internal adjustment of mentalities and heart positions that reflect the image and nature of Christ.
