National Day of Prayer Special – Tonight at 9 pm Eastern

Tonight Thursday, May 3rd, the Ed Boston Podcast Network will host a special time of prayer, scripture, and comments for our country. We will be live streaming on Facebook Live, You Now, and You Tube.

Here is some information from the National organization about today’s events and history of National Day of Prayer.

National Day of Prayer Theme for 2018

The National Day of Prayer was created in 1952 by a joint resolution of Congress, and signed into law by President Harry S. Truman. In 1988, the law was unanimously amended by both the House and the Senate and signed into law by President Ronald Reagan on Thursday, May 5, 1988, designating the first Thursday of May as a day of national prayer. Every president since 1952 has signed a National Day of Prayer proclamation.

Prayer brings people together. Prayer builds bridges between opposing persons and even political parties. Prayer reminds us that we are created in God’s image and He desires for us to represent Him everywhere we go. Prayer brings UNITY. In 2018, our theme will be Pray for America – UNITY, based upon Ephesians 4:3 which challenges us to mobilize unified public prayer for America, “Making every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace.”

Our hope is that individuals, churches, and spiritual leaders in America, will humble ourselves and unify in prevailing prayer for the next great move of God in America. We can come together in clear agreement that this is our greatest need. We can become a visible union, standing together in prayer. We can pray more than ever before, and practice extraordinary prayer for the next great move of God in America that will catapult the message of the gospel nationally and internationally.

Pray with us. Sponsor an event in your community. Become a volunteer. Order resources to help promote an event in your area. Support the National Day of Prayer financially. Together, we can mobilize unified public prayer for America!

“There is no great movement of God that has ever occurred that does not begin with the extraordinary prayer of God’s people.” Dr. Ronnie Floyd

Remember – From International Fellowship of Christians and Jews

Pledge to Remember

Shalom, Ed,

No one who experiences Yom HaShoah (Holocaust Remembrance Day) in Israel ever forgets it. And from sundown April 11 to sundown April 12, something very moving will happen.

At precisely 10 am, for two minutes, sirens sound across the country. All activity literally comes to a halt. People stop working, pedestrians pause, cars pull over to the side of the road, and Israel is united in silent remembrance of the six million people murdered during this terrible chapter in history.

This year, as Israel prepares to celebrate her 70th birthday, I am asking friends of Israel everywhere to show their solidarity with the Jewish state that rose from the ashes of the Holocaust by observing two minutes of silence to remember those who perished.

In the Bible, God told Ezekiel to prophesy to the dry bones – the people of Israel – “I will put my Spirit in you and you will live, and I will settle you in your own land” (Ezekiel 37:14). For 70 years, the modern state of Israel has stood as fulfillment of this prophecy.

Thank you, my friend. Your moment of silence will remind the world that we must “never forget” the Holocaust – and that we must continue to support Israel, the sovereign Jewish state that for 70 years has been a refuge where Jewish people can live in safety.
With prayers for shalom, peace,

Rabbi Yechiel Eckstein

One Year Ago Today

One year ago today, February 26th of 2017, my wonderful wife Amy suffered a stroke. Thankfully, God wasn’t ready just yet to take her home. She has been through so much in the last year, that it’s only appropriate that I give thanks to the Lord for the blessing that Amy truly is to me and so many others.

She has endured numerous days in the hospital on more than one occasion,  several trips to the ER, weeks and weeks of speech therapy, countless doctor appointments, the guilt of raking up thousands of dollars of medical bills, and so much more.

If you feel led to comment to Amy, you can do so in the comment section below or by going here.

May God continue to bless Amy in all that she does!

Our Prayer Page

For a long time, we’ve had a Facebook Prayer Page. It’s always been a small part of what we do (the page and not prayer in general).

It seems like the right time, with the conviction of the Holy Spirit, to take this part of the ministry up a notch.  Prayer is certainly no small thing, and we want to make this a safe place where you can bring your requests, and also where you will pray for others.

To be a part of the Prayer Group – go here.

While there, you can either “like” the page, just visit, or just leave a request. For requests that you would like for only Pastor Ed Boston to see – use this link.

Matthew 19:26 – Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”

Can We Mourn About The Florida Tragedy Properly? Please!!!!

The thoughts and prayers of all of us at the Ed Boston Podcast Network go out for everyone affected by the tragic situation today in Florida.

Here are some thoughts I have on this topic in general.

After giving some thought about this situation and how it will be reported on and reacted to, I came up with the following.

  • The story will change so many times so the early story will not be the final story.
  • The kid will be called mentally ill (seems to me that one would have to be to open fire inside of a high school).
  • Liberals will blame guns.
  • Conservatives will throw up the 2nd amendment (which you know I’m all for).
  • None of the above will bring those precious lives lost back or heal the wounds, both physically and mentally, of everyone who were victims.

All the while – where is the grief for all those affected? The bodies are barely cold (some haven’t even been removed from the building) and you know that every side of the equation is doubling down right now instead of giving respect to those who have passed, those that are injured, those that survived, and all of their families and friends.

For once, can’t we put aside all of the things above that  I listed and just take the time to properly mourn another horrible chapter in American history.

God’s blessings and comfort to those who need it, and may the healing power of Jesus Christ be with all who have been injured.
