EDITORIALS pg . 2 The Gulf Coast Voice • September-14- September 20 , , 2017
By Lucius Gantt
A lot of animals got saved in Florida as Hurricane Irma led a path of destruction that stretched from the coast of Africa to the Gulf of Mexico . Dogs got saved . Cats got saved . A beached dolphin and a manatee were even
Lucius Gantt rehabbed and place back into the ocean waters .
However , a number of humans lost their lives before , after and during one of the largest storms in history !
Almost everybody in the State of Florida was impacted in some way by Hurricane Irma .
Florida , perhaps , needs to do a Klan check . There are so many white supremacist groups in the Sunshine State , I wonder how many crosses and sheets were damaged by the storm ? Sometimes , when there is separation , segregation and division , God will make you come together !
Skin heads and neo-nazis needed bottled water just as much as activists and anti-fascists ! White nationalists needed electric power as much as Black nationalists needed electric power !
For the very first time , God made some rich
by Teacher Evelyn J . Hagger My Lord ! My Lord ! With this , ‘ 2017-The Year of Jubilee ’, God has some wonderful precious promises that He wants to fulfill in your life . This message is so strong in my spirit . The Lord told me to deliver this to you now . We are headed toward the last quarter of the year , and you have to know it is not over until God says it ’ s over and He has not said it is over . This is your year , my year , our year of restoration , recovery and release . And it is all based on His word . This is a miracle time , a miracle day , a miracle season , and a miracle year . You just have to continue to say in faith what God says , speak it with a heart of expectation , and never , ever go on how things LOOK ! And with that said , I pray your faith is ready to receive . Hebrews 8:6 says , “ The new agreement which Jesus passes on to us from God contains far more wonderful promises .” ( Living Bible ) Today God really wants to do something supernatural in your life to make your life better . But before we get into the message for today , there just may be somebody out there reading this who has not received Jesus as your personal Savior . Jesus wants you to experience Him . Romans 10:9-10,13 says , “ If you tell others with your own mouth that Jesus Christ is your
By Roger Caldwell When Republicans and President Trump talk about the American people , they are talking about their base , and thea majority of them are White . There is very little talk about the Black community , because they are invisible , and invisible people don ’ t exist . Occasionally the mid-stream news will talk about the Black deaths in Chicago , or a successful Black entrepreneur , or a successful Black musician , but no one discusses the state of the Black community . Entertainment and sports are subjects that Blacks are allowed to talk about , but no one talks about the mistreatment of Black seniors who have no food , or the single Black mothers who can ’ t make ends meet . Poverty in Black America is pervasive , and the lower middle class and the lower class are forced to decide what bills they will not pay every month . Trump would like Americans to think that the economy is doing great , but Harvey and Irma will challenge and destroy the credibility of the financial system . Hundreds of thousands of Americans will be left only with their clothes on their backs , and the federal government will be forced to find resources and funds where there are none . For the first time since Trump has been president , there was a major bipartisan bill , where the Congressional Democrats and Republicans

people feel just like some Black people have felt much of their lives .
People of all races , creeds , colors and ancestry needed food , shelter , clothing , love and support !
While people in Texas , Florida , Georgia and Carolina were hit and hurt in hurricanes , the mostly Black residents of the Caribbean islands were devastated !
The United States and the British Virgin Islands were seriously damaged along with many other island play grounds but my favorite vacation destination , St . Marten , was practically demolished !
Miraculously , God saved the lives of thousands of island residents but He also left many Caribbean natives jobless , homeless and hopeless .
I have done a great deal of media and political work in St . Marten . My company , All World Consultants , has an office in St . Marten .
All World ’ s Caribbean Director , Jackie Blyden , and her family survived the storm but he home was wiped off of the map ! Many so-called star athletes and musicians are coming together to raise funds to help victims of hurricanes Harvey and Irma in the United States but how much of the telethon money , church money , government money and private dollars are going to the island territories ? Will the United States and Britain finance the rebuilding of the Virgin Islands or will the two super powers ignore and forget it ’ s island citizens ?
The King of Holland visited its Dutch “ territory ” of St . Marten and promised assistance but will the United States and British leaders visit the Virgin Islands ?
I think Black people all over the world should support Black people all over the world should help Black people all over the world . Join me in doing what we can to help the impoverished people in the Caribbean who have suffered greatly and lost tremendously as a result of back to back to back hurricanes . Everybody that has been on a cruise has been on a Caribbean island and most visitors have had a good time .
Help islanders help themselves . Send clothes , books , toys , money and everything else you have to help your brothers and sisters in the Caribbean .
If you don ’ t want to help for any other reason , you surely ought to want the Caribbean Cat Houses up and running .
Let ’ s do our best to do what we can for our people that need us ! Make the Caribbean islands a paradise lost and found ! ( Buy Gantt ’ s latest book , “ Beast Too : Dead Man Writing ” on Amazon . com and from bookstores everywhere . Contact Lucius at www . allworldconsultants . net .
What Does God Say About It ? Miracle Multiplication – Part 1
Lord , and believe in your own heart that God has raised him from the dead , you will be saved .” Anyone who calls upon the name of the Lord will be saved .” Go ahead and said it and get set free , Now ! Get yourself in a bible-based church and begin learning about the Savior that you have received in your heart . Now for our lesson for today . Know that God wants you to live a better life . He wants you to experience miracle restorations , miracle provisions , miracle healings , miracle releases of those things that ’ s been held up . Yes , miracles happened yesterday ; but miracles are for today ! We serve a supernatural God who wants to do supernatural extraordinary feats for his children . In II Kings 4 we find a widow woman who owed her creditors and wanted to take her sons as collateral . She went to the Prophet Elijah who instructed her on what to do . He told her to borrow pots and not just a few . She filled every pot her sons brought into the house until they ran out of pots . It was not until the ran out of pots that the oil stop flowing . She paid her creditors and we see in the scripture that this woman supernaturally prospered , increased and much , much provision was in her house for many , many days . This can be you , NOW ! Don ’ t be angry or upset about what you do not have . Don ’ t be angry , mad or enraged by what has been taken by the enemy . Don ’ t be rehearsing what has been lost . God is sending a word today to tell us that He is going to work with what we got left . Start thanking the Lord
agreed on and collaborated to get it passed , and signed by the president . With this bill , President Trump and the legislators were able to fund disaster relief with more than , $ 15 billion , raise the debt ceiling and keep the government open and paying its bills until December 8th . Everyone can pat themselves on their backs for keeping the government open , but over 800,000 DACA young adults , and adults , who know only Americans as their home , are caught in a grey area in term of their citizenship . There was really no reason for President Trump to threaten the “ Dreamers ,” but everything Ex-President Obama implemented , our president is trying to reverse . “ And it is cruel . What if our kid ’ s science teacher or our friendly neighbor turns out to be a Dreamer ? Where are we supposed to send her ? To a country she doesn ’ t know or remember , with a language she may not even speak ,” says Ex-President Obama . To be a good president in America , you must show empathy and compassion to all the residents , and there must be diversity in your administration . Black people and people of color in Trumps administration are missing in action . The only conclusion that Black people and people of color have arrived at , is Trump and his administration are racists . President Trump lost the popular vote by nearly 3 million votes , and the majority of Americans for what the devil did not steal . Start thanking the Lord for using what you have left . In this
Continue pg 4 next season , God is saying that He is working with what we got remaining ; what we got leftover . God can work wonders with the little that we place in his hands . Let me show you in his word .
Turn to Matt . 14:13-21 . There you will find an undeniable miracle . We are talking today about God ’ s miraculous multiplication . Jesus did it back then and He is still doing it in our time . Hebrews 13:8 says , “ Jesus Christ ( the Messiah ) is ( always ) the same , yesterday , today , [ yes ] and forever ( to the ages ).” ( Amp .) I use this version because of three words that stand out . They are : always , yes and ages . Jesus has not changed to this day according to this scripture and He never will . What Jesus did with those masses , He is doing with us , if we would only trust and believe . This is our time , our day , our season , and our year . And according to Numbers 23:19 which says , “ God is not a man , he cannot lie . He is not the son of man , he does not have to repent . Whatever he has said or spoken , it is coming to pass .” Until next time , know that God is so well able to work with whatever we got left . He knows how to make it multiply .

President Trump was Never about the Majority of Americans
do not support the president policies . With a job-approval rating of 36 %, and every week Americans protesting across the country , something is wrong , and everything is uncertain . With back to back historic hurricanes and millions of Americans lives being devastated and destroyed , God is speaking . Trump has never worked with the Democrats , but these hurricanes are making him change his mind . In order to get many of the bills passed in the Senate , it takes 60 votes . As Trump continues to learn the job of president , he begins to understand the impor tance of the Democrats . Making a deal with the Democrats was essential in keeping the government open , but that does not stop the unfinished battles that the Democrats have with Trumps policies . Even though a bipartisan bill was passed by both Houses , the fundamental ideology and thinking has not changed , and Trump is still on the wrong side of history , and the law . He has broken the law with perjury , and his collusion and financial corruption with Russia should be revealed by “ Mueller ’ s investigation .” In the final analysis , Trump has never included the majority of Americans in his policies . God is speaking , with these hurricanes , but I wonder if our president is listening .
Matthew 6:1-4 - English Standard Version ( ESV ) Giving to the Needy 6 “ Beware of practicing your righteousness before other people in order to be seen by them , for then you will have no reward from your Father who is in heaven . 2 “ Thus , when you give to the needy , sound no trumpet before you , as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets , that they may be praised by others . Truly , I say to you , they have received their reward . 3 But when you give to the needy , do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing , 4 so that your giving may be in secret . And your Father who sees in secret will reward you .
