PERSONAL
BELIEF

by Johanna Hobrath
I
have been writing Christian Material since the 1980's.
When viewing the web page "About the Writer" -
http://www.haloministries.net/AbouttheWriter.htm
- you will read that I attended a four-year Baptist
Bible Correspondence Course. After the completion of the
Bible Course, I received a General Bible Diploma from the
Liberty Home Bible Institute. The
Bible Course, covering the topics of the Bible from
"Genesis" through "Revelation," was a
tremendous blessing to me.
There are times when God brings
additional blessings
into one's life. On
March 25, 2008 I
completed a "Counseling
Program" that
is entitled "Caring
for People God's Way." The "Counseling
Program" is "A
Ministry of the American Association of Christian Counselors Foundation (AACC)"
and is available from the Light University in Forest, VA.
The DVD Lectures are conducted via Christian personnel that are professionals in
their fields. I am grateful to have had the opportunity to complete the "Counseling
Program", and
I have learned much about counseling and/or helping others. I believe that
through the journey of life, anyone may continue to learn and, of course,
continue to glean wisdom from the Holy Word of God, namely "The
Bible".

. . II Corinthians 1:3,4 (KJV)
Many
years ago, while sitting in a church, I almost wept as I prayed
to God and said from my heart: "God, why am I sitting
in this pew and doing absolutely nothing?" Throughout
the years - and with many tears - I began writing what God, via
His Holy Spirit, placed and does place upon my heart.
Today, the Halo
Ministries [a
Nondenominational Ministry] is on the worldwide web
because God does permit to use the abilities that He continues
to place into my heart and life.
The
following itemization gives additional information about what I
believe:
1)
I believe that the Church of Jesus Christ (throughout the world)
is a very necessary and important establishment. We need
the church for dedications, weddings, funerals, expansion of
spiritual understanding, etc.
2)
Although God has given talents and abilities within this
Christian Writing Ministry [the Halo
Ministries], I continue to pursue the God-given Chosen
Calling with a zeal and capabilities that God has given to me.
3)
Regarding denominational differences: God is a God of many
Designs. People may be drawn to one denomination, and
people are drawn to other denominations.
4)
As believers in Christ and on the Path of Righteousness that
leads to Heaven, if God calls then, certainly, we must draw
others to the Saving Knowledge of Christ's Redemptive Plan [John
3:16].
5)
Over the years, I have come to realize that you cannot win
another person via vinegar, so to speak. Also, a deceptive
sugar overtone will easily be detected.
6)
My Desire: To teach/preach via a truly, sincere Chosen
Calling that is based upon THE HOLY
SCRIPTURE, THE BIBLE [II Peter 1:10].
7)
I desire to continue to live a Godly Life. Our Godly
Conscience - via the Bible and Guidance of the Holy Spirit -
will indicate if we are truly walking the Righteous Path and
Pleasing our Heavenly Father through Jesus Christ our Lord, and
the Holy Spirit. [Colossians 1:10]
8)
I believe that I am grounded within a strong faith that is
secured through Bible Reading and Prayer. Remember: much
Prayer will allow God to speak to one's heart.
[Romans
8:26,27]
9)
Regularly attending God's House will always be of extreme
importance. God does speak through His Anointed Chosen
Pastors. Scripture tells us that those that proclaim the
Gospel are to receive double honor. [I
Timothy 5:17]
10)
A few Scriptures from the Book of Psalms read as follows:
"I
will love thee, O LORD, my strength.
"The
LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my
strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my
salvation, and my high tower.
"As
for God, his way is perfect: the word of the LORD is
tried: he is a buckler to all those that trust in him.
"For
who is God save the LORD? or who is a rock save our God?
"It
is God that girdeth me with strength, and maketh my way perfect.
"Thou
hast also given me the shield of my salvation: and thy
right hand hath holden me up, and thy gentleness hath made me
great."
PSALM
18:1,2,30,31,32,35
P.S.
MAY GOD CONTINUE TO BLESS AMERICA, AND
PERMIT THE FURTHERING OF HIS HOLY WORD THROUGHOUT THE WORLD!
