Words of Encouragement from Dr. C. Yvette Brock, Pastor
Dearly beloved brothers and sisters in Jesus Christ,
We are all the children of one Father. When we realize that He created all of us and He gave his only begotten son to all of us, and to all of us, He gave the choice to accept Jesus as Lord and Savior, then we can begin to pray for one another and love one another, because we really are the children of one Father and the creation of one God. God's desire is that all should be saved. His word says that whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. Furthermore it states that if we believe in our hearts the Lord Jesus and that God raised Him from the dead, and confess with our mouths, we shall be saved. Salvation is open to all. That is part of living the abundant lifestyle of which Jesus spoke, and which we adopted for our newsletter theme this year. We have only to believe God’s work of salvation through Jesus Christ, in our hearts and say it with our mouths, in order to be saved! How hard is that? It is a stumbling block to all who do not trust God in their hearts. Those who do not trust Him in their hearts can not have saving faith because they do not come to God in spirit and truth. Instead they choose to reason, rationalize, and fail to accept the simplicity of salvation. Those who choose this approach will experience doubt, insecurity, and instability in their relationship with God. He is spirit. Flesh and blood, material things, and worldly wisdom do not please Him. His pleasure is in the conditions of our hearts, not what we have, how smart we are, nor the color of our skin! The abundant life is for those who take God at His word. Peace, joy, love, meekness, patience, and other qualities of Jesus reflect that Jesus gave us examples of what pleases God. Abundant living encompasses a relationship with our Heavenly Father wherein we treasure Him above all and everything. We trust Him to perfect everything! We believe with all our hearts that He has great plans for our success on earth and our victory in heaven. Until we reach heaven, and while we are yet on this side of life, our abundant living must first reflect loving God completely, obeying His commandment to love all others as we love ourselves. This is where the joy of a good and godly life and lifestyle begin! It only gets better after this. Try it and see for yourself!!! If it seems hard for you to do this, don’t worry. Pray to God about it. Ask Him to fill your heart with more love for Him and others and to give you saving faith. This is praying according to His will. He will do it!!! Encourage yourself this way in Him and you will see an elevation in your life. You will have an abundant life on this earth!

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)
