Dwell In God! An “End-Time” Revelation

"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” John 3:16, KJV

A native of Miami, Florida, Evangelist Elveria Lloyd-Webb wrote Dwell In God while residing in Warner Robins to be close to her son Joseph’s family. Elveria, a retired instructor of English, Speech/Debate and Drama, worked in the field of education as an instructor and administrator for over 25 years. She also worked in non-profits, as an advocate for abused and homeless children and adults with mental health concerns. The mother of three children, Elveria’s greatest desire is to assist the indigent and downtrodden of our society.

“God has had his hand on me from childhood. I was baptized at age 8 years old, during Bible School. I am dedicated to seeking out the poor, and have offered assistance to hundreds of children and families, through coordinating events such as Christmas and Easter Extravaganzas for the indigent of our communities in both Warner Robins and Miami, Florida.”

Elveria wrote Dwell In God to help readers answer the question, “When the waters part the land, and the skies open up, and the trumpet blows, and when judgment comes upon the earth, will you be ready?”

“God wants people to know that He will return soon, and that now is the time to get ready. He wants us to be saved, and to be taken up with Him when He returns. I wrote the book Dwell In God as an ‘end time’ revelation, to heal and to save lost souls for God, before the 7-year tribulation.”

“We must be ready. Dwell In God offers spiritual and practical ways in which to exist in God daily, while waiting for His return. The book displays how one should stand waiting. Those who have not chosen Him, and given their lives to Him – must repent now – say the sinner’s prayer, and get baptized – develop an on-going relationship with the Lord, fellowship in the church of their choice, and stand ready for His return.”

“Dwell In God is a love story. It is the love of a Living God for a living people, who dwell upon the earth – while sharing in relationship and in love – the truth of living a righteous life in God. It teaches that He is the only Way – Truth and Life, and how to receive Him as one’s Savior and Redeemer.”

“I share how to find Christ, and have an on-going relationship with Him in order to see eternity one day, when the Savior returns. I discuss how one should praise God, live and talk to God, while listening to The Holy Spirit, hearing The Holy Spirit, and trusting in God. I relate ways to rid oneself of the carnal nature, which is sinful and detrimental to our soul’s salvation. I discuss fighting the enemy – Satan, as he comes to steal, kill and to destroy us. We must stand ‘Rapture Ready.’”

My desire for Dwell In God is that it will reach the hands and the hearts of the poor, the poor in Spirit, the unsaved, the bitter, the unlovely, the forgotten, the mad, the depressed, the malnourished of God, the unrepentant, the uncaring, the unsure, the back-slidden, the atheist, the abominated, and the broken-hearted.

These Things I Have Spoken Unto You

Author Edith Wasden Schwartz is a life-long residence of Macon. She attended Clisby School, A.J. Miller Junior and Senior High School, Randolph-Macon Woman’s College and Emory University. Edith graduated from Emory with a BA degree in English in 1960.

In 1960, Edith married Maconite Bert Schwartz, settled down and raised their four sons. For ten years, Edith and Bert owned and operated Jories, a ladies and children’s dress shop on Ingleside Avenue. Bert and Edith’s four sons and their families, which include ten grandchildren ranging in age from three to twenty, reside in the Atlanta area.

For thirty-seven years, Edith led Bible Studies in homes and in various churches in Macon. She is President of The Fields Are White Ministries, Inc. and has had multiple speaking engagements throughout Georgia and South Carolina.

She has recently published her first book, These Things I Have Spoken Unto You, actually began in the late ‘70s. For more than 30 years, the book lay dormant, while she raised her family, enjoyed her grandchildren, and even survived a bout with cancer. When asked what incentivized her to finish the book, Edith said, “Nan Jordan my secretary at The Fields are White Ministries typed the original manuscript for me, She died in June, and her children found the unfinished book and returned it to me. I realized that if I was ever going to finish it, I needed to do it now. The pieces all began to fall into place. I revised the 30- year- old chapters and wrote new ones. Some were from my ministry newsletters and some were teachings that I had done over the years.

“One day I stopped by a friends’ house and mentioned to them that I was writing a book. A Methodist pastor and an author himself, he and his wife helped with the revisions and guided me through the publication process. Their encouragement was invaluable.

“A childhood friend, Kay Gustin Sapp, was also a big help in the process. She invited me to spend some time with her at her St. Simons beach house. She is an artist and was going to paint while I worked on my book during our visit. On the drive to St. Simons, a rainbow appeared and I suddenly decided that should be on the cover of my book. The week at St. Simons was very productive. I was able to write eight chapters there. I asked Kate if she would paint the cover of the book, but I was not sure what I wanted besides the rainbow.

“Returning to my home on Lake Tobesofkee, I looked on our beautiful view from our deck. I took a picture of my backyard on the lake and sent it to Kay. She added the rainbow and painted a beautiful scene that was used as the cover for my book.

“The book begins with my search for fulfillment and records my spiritual journey. There was a wave of the Holy Spirit going on in the late’60s and early ‘70s called the Charismatic Movement. I was swept into the Kingdom in this wave. It was an exciting time.

“Later, I started teaching Bible Studies in homes. The ladies’ husbands and children were affected by their zeal and families began to be touched by God’s wonderful Holy Spirit. The book includes stories of some of these friends, as well as episodes in my life. It is a book of what God has spoken unto me. It is a book of the faithfulness of our Heavenly Father; It is a book of miracles.”

Edith’s desire is for each person to know Jesus Christ as their personal Savior and lover of their soul. Her passion is for the Kingdom of God to be exhibited through His people.
