Words of Encouragement from Dr. C. Yvette Brock, Pastor
In Matthew 5, Jesus gives Beatitudes in His Sermon on the Mount. He describes blessings (promises) which are attached to certain attitudes. Individuals who has an attitude of relinquishing themselves to Him receive the Kingdom of Heaven. When we have such an attitude, we acknowledge the Lord in everything we do. I have seen some athletes, entertainers, ministers and many others who acknowledge that the Lord was the author and provider of their abilities and accomplishments, when given praise for their performances. For example, I have given praise to ministers when they delivered a sermon. Their response has been “Praise God” or “Pray for me.” Being poor in spirit is a good thing because it does not mean that we are in anyways cast down. Rather it means that we acknowledge God’s Spirit as the One Who made it happen, gives us skills, talents, and gifts. When we have an attitude of being poor in Spirit, we are trusting and acknowledging God in all our ways, trusting and leaning on Him, at all times and in all things and situations. Jesus’s promises in Mathew 5 are conditional, based on our attitudes. He has promised kingdom living here on earth and in the life to come. A pure heart shall see God. Peacemakers shall be called the people of God. Deuteronomy 6 directs an attitude of constantly having our minds on God, when we sit, eat, walk, slumber or wake. We are to talk about His greatness, testify even to our children, and have Him foremost on our minds. Then He will provide kingdom living on earth and a mansion in Heaven. Kingdom living on earth is peace during chaos, hope in uncertain times, comfort and joy even when grieving or mourning, holy living in the face of temptation, making peace during confusion and suffering, with the hope and faith that God will work all things out to our good and perfect everything that concerns us.

Holistic Ministries Inc. hopes to fellowship with you. We hope you will join us very soon to worship, fellowship, and learn of the goodness of Jesus. We believe salvation is an individual journey and that God’s people perish for a lack of knowledge. Jesus came to set us free; His burden is light and His yoke is easy. He already paid the cost for our salvation - when you believe in your heart and confess with your mouth that He is Lord and that God raised Him from the dead, then you are saved! (Romans 10:9)
