Once again the Brazilian nation is found heartbroken and mourning.  The nation is devastating; there are public manifestations due to social instabilities, laws being broken and political manipulations. In addition, Brazil suffers the effects of unjust global, moral and spiritual influences.  Even the World Cup, which should have brought joy to the people, turned into an awful national embarrassment.

                My bowels, my bowels, I am pained at my very heart, my heart maketh a noise in me, I cannot hold my peace, because thou hast heard, O my soul, the sound of the trumpet, the alarm of war. The prophet cries out (Jeremiah 4:19).

                Back on January 5^th, 2014, the first Sunday of the year, the Lord spoke at the pulpit of Peniel Mother Church located in Belo Horizonte, MG, Brazil, saying: “There is an immense black cloud above Brazil. It is moving heavily over the nation. The year just started and it is already over…”

Then, sorrow and tears were falling.

Today, Brazil cries again.

After all, what is really going on?

A voice was heard in Ramah, lamentation, and bitter weeping; Rahel weeping for her children refused to be comforted for her children, because they were not (Jeremiah 31:15).

But, God’s message on that first Sunday of the year, brought news of consolation and blessing as He concluded: “… Higher above, there is an outstanding golden cloud over God’s people and His Church.”

                It is time for us to cry for Brazil, and the world, and God’s people. There is only one  way—turn to God.  Each genuine Believer along with his or her family and church. All whom serve the Real God turn now to Him. There is no exception. God is abundant in forgiveness; He has torn and He will heal!  

            There is hope for Brazil. There is hope for your future, says the Lord: ”thy children shall come again to their own border” (Jeremiah 31:17). The golden cloud will cover us up and will expand itself into the Earth reaching all of His works.

           Trust in God’s Power and take delight in the Lord.

                Then shall the virgin rejoice in the dance, both young men and old together: for I will turn their mourning into joy, and will comfort them, and make them rejoice from their sorrow (Jeremiah 31:17).

Rejoice God’s people; rejoice Peniel and all Believers spread throughout the world because God’s Spirit hides His Church in the shadow of the Almighty.

May God bless you exceedingly.
