How can a Nation Survive the Present Storms!
A
Nation Surviving the Present Storms!
Joel 1
Our country faces financial deep serious
problems. Morally, spiritually, financially, and our foreign affairs face deep
problems. I ask why is this happening and how can it be solved? Is there hope
for the hopeless in our nation. I ask, can our Nation survive?
First, what has led us to this point? The
answer is found in the Book of Joel. His message grew out of a national
calamity: the invasion of a plague of locusts, drought and famine. The people
of Judah moved away from obeying God and lived and enjoyed sinning! My pastor, Bro.
Max Brunson stated in today’s message,” that our locust is the financial locust”.
We have moved away also from God’s Biblical principles which are: Same sex
marriage, greed, and selfishness.
The next question is how can it be solved? In
Joel chapter 2:12-17, God’s answer is for us as a Nation is too fast, pray,
confess our sins and return back to the biblical principles that has made our nation great in the past.
It’s not through good economics, election of a president but we the people
returning back to God! If we don’t then, America will perish and will be gone
as all the other great nations!
Dear friends, we need to fast, pray, and
confess our sins as a nation, in order to experience another great spiritual
awakening. Jesus is the only answer! Jesus said “I am the way, the truth and
the light, no man cometh to the Father but by me!
Come to Jesus today!”
Be Blessed!

P.S. I ask you to pray for my Uncle Loyd Bardowell who is very sick, for God to heal him, comfort him and his family. Uncle Loyd is a great Southern Baptist Evangelist. He led me to Jesus during a preaching crusade in 1967 in Kingston,Jamaica W.I and because of that, I am a pastor/evangelist of the Gospel of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. The Son of the Living God! Thank you Uncle and also pray for the famlies of the four Brave Americans who gave their lives for us in Bengazi, Lybia.

How to develop a pefect peace of mind in uncertain days
How
to Develop a Perfect Peace of Mind in Uncertain Days!
Text: Thou will keep
him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusted in thee.
Trust ye in the Lord forever: for in the
Lord Jehovah is everlasting strength. Isaiah 26:3-4
I heard a story about a mom and her son. A
small boy was walking along crying bitterly.
“What’s the trouble
son?” asked a kind gentleman.
“My mother lost her psychology book,”
explained the lad between sobs,” and now she’s using her own judgment.”
Sometimes, with the way this world is
changing, I feel like this young boy------ uncertain. I also feel at times like
I am losing my mind and not being focused!
What pull’s me back from the brink of
insanity are these two verses from Isaiah 26:3-4 which are:
· God
will keep him in perfect peace
· Whose
mind is stayed on thee? A.
Mind which are our thoughts, imaginations.
B. Stayed on thee: supported by God
· Trust in the Lord- let your confidence never fail no matter what
the problems come.
· For in the Lord Jehovah
· Is everlasting strength
Dear friends, as we face uncertain days,
always remember that God loves you, stay focused on Him, trust in Him, and He
will give us strength to see us through!
Love,
Eddie

How do we know,that Godknows, our every need!
How do we know, that God knows, our every need!

Romans 8:28-29
This
week was a toughie for me! I am working with many challenges with the mentally
handicap children. I am teaching and managing their behavior. As an ordained
minister, I get discouraged and sad because I miss pastoring and I feel at
times what in the world am I doing here! Why me God, and then God lovingly
reminds me ,” Eddie I still love you and I am using you to minister to these
kids.”
This wonderful passage also gives me
encouragement. Romans 8:29 “For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed
to the image of His Son, that he might be the firstborn among man brethren.
More over whom He predestined, these he also called; whom He called,
these He also justified; and whom He justified, these He also glorified.”
These passages God reminds me that our God
knew beforehand what is going to happen in our lives. Our God choose to love us
and to be our God! He knows our future and He has us in His mind before the
foundation of the world.
God also predestined our lives! God marks our boundaries
and limits, “Ephesians 1:3-6
We are the object of
His focus! He loves us and He will always direct our lives! He knows our future
and He will always provide and protect us!
So, there friends when you feel as I do at
times, “Does God care for me?” Remember
you are the object of His love; He knew you and predicted wonderful things for
you. He demonstrated His love for us by dying on the cross and rising again for
you and me! He has provided in the past for us, I know because of the past
victories in my life, and He will do it again!
God
cares for you and me, and He will be there for us! God bless!
Love,
Eddie
