The ministry:

My name is Katherine Bell. I hail from the Raleigh area, spent a couple of years near Pensacola, and now focus on Fort Mill, SC and Albemarle, NC. In Fort Mill, I attended Christian meetings at Founded in Truth Messianic fellowship in Rock Hill, SC, Judah Church in Steele Creek near Charlotte, and the churches of Regent Park. Now I am at Boomerang Church, Sanctuary Deliverance, House of Bethany, and the Berean Assembly Messianic fellowship  in Albemarle, NC. Though I also have roots in evangelical Christianity through a full set of years in Bible Study Fellowship plus some Precepts courses, I am solidly in the purest of apostolic-prophetic Christianity and the bride/sonship stream I can find. Word of Faith is key, too. I value the expository teaching of deeper life evangelicals a lot. I chose the name bondslave freedom for my blog as I understood from my earliest years as a Christian that walking as a bondslave of Christ Jesus, the identity expressed in Romans 1:1 and explained in Romans 6:22, would result in ultimate freedom from my fallen human nature and the structures of the surrounding world. Bondslave freedom is about healing, deliverance, and discipleship. I help believers find the way to the overcoming life with a particular focus on the overcoming interior life. This entails schooling in absolute surrender to the indwelling Spirit’s grand love rule of the soul and body. I teach what is known as the inward way of finding fullness of life in the Lord. The Holy of Holies is now within the born-again person—within his or her inmost heart. But the veil of flesh must be rent to experience ongoing face-to-face intimacy with God. The subjective cross must be successfully embraced. Then, one is positioned to follow the Lord as a bondslave. Communion and union with Christ of the highest order become possible. The recovery of the image of God in man results. And the experience of the healing of ALL love deficits in man are realized degree by degree.

Romans 1:1 “a bondslave of Christ Jesus.”

Romans 6:22 “But now, having been freed from sin and enslaved to God, you have your fruit unto sanctification, and the end, eternal life.”

My conversion story:

I graduated from Davidson College in 1983 and worked for York Properties, Inc. in Raleigh for 10 years before attending Duke Graduate School in 1992 and 1993.  During my entire adult life, I read every kind of book on the market except the Bible looking for techniques, methods, and blueprints for the life of fulfillment. In the early 1990’s, when my problems multiplied, I had no ground under me on which to stand. With only a thread of faith that Jesus and the Bible were the revealed truth of all history, I asked Jesus Christ to be my Savior and Lord in May 1995. I experienced forgiveness, the presence of Christ suddenly inside me, and remarkable mental and emotional healing in the years that followed. The Lord also gave me a new career as a writer and directed me to pursue the riches of God further through Bible Study Fellowship, Raleigh Institute of Biblical Studies, and Christian Life School of Theology Global. I earned the Doctor of Ministry degree from CLST Global over two decades ago. Also, Wellspring Ministries out of Alaska was most instrumental to me in realizing greater levels of healing and deliverance. Ellel Ministries, Restoring the Foundations, and Leanne Payne’s Pastoral Care Ministries  taught me important truths, too. The Immanuel Approach is groundbreaking, also. And I am greatly indebted to the rich teachings I received via the International House of Prayer in Kansas City under Mike Bickle. Certain of their videos and notes were foundational on intimacy with the Lord. The materials by Mark and Patti Virkler of Communion With God Ministries developed me tremendously in the Lord. And key pastors in my life include Jerry Daley of Grace Church in Chapel Hill, NC, Eric Vernelson of Living Faith, Wilson, NC, Bryan Wright of Boomerang, and Robert Rummage and Chris Reed at MorningStar, where I received excellent training in the prophetic. The messages of Keith Collins at F.I.R.E. also marked me.  I also want to mention that I have deep roots in the third day stream: Wade Taylor, Kelley Varner, Van Tanner, Doug Fortune, Bill Britton, and I’ve noted Eric Vernelson. Finally, I thank the Lord for the many, many excellent books He told me to read. Of course, the reading and study are ongoing. And the life of union and communion with Christ only grows deeper. For my list of some of the best deeper life/intimacy with Christ books, email me at katherinefbell@icloud.com. I have read well over 1,400 books over a span of 30 years on the interior life with Christ, the deeper life in God, the Lord’s restoration of the soul, and the overcoming life. [I have been and am being mentored by Virginia Killingsworth, Liz Wright, and Colette Toach. Also, I’m reading with great focus all the books of Kevin Basconi, David Herzog, and Harold Eberle. Myles Munroe’s great books on purpose and identity are before me, too.] Am headed for in-depth training in deliverance ministry through The Immanuel Approach under Dr. Karl Lehman, Hardcore Christianity under Mike and Karen Smith, and I want to learn from Paul Cox’s materials, Aslan’s Place. Pastor Bryan Wright’s Boomerang University in Albemarle is one of the great places to learn to flow in the anointing. I just enrolled for a four-year degree!
