EDENintheDESERT: My Virtual Life and Vision
Thank you for taking a moment to visit my virtual home.
Here're a few guidelines while perusing.
My vision, resume and general musings are in the biography section naturally.
My music is, well you guessed it, in the music section. (Pretty tricky so far, right??!
The news section is more of an overview of the whole site.
Soon, there'll be performances listed either of my own work, or of those that I plan to promote in the shows section.
Throughout this site there're links to other pages I have around the web. I've got pages in MySpace, Facebook, IMDb, Flickr and several blog sites. Just do a word search on Brother Eden Douglas or my parent company, EdenDust for rest of the journey once you leave here.
Again, Thank You, for giving me just a little of your time. Let you know you came through in the comment section.
Pray it's a good visit.

`EDENintheDESERT 2009
by Os Hillman
If you have an important message to convey to someone, what is the best means of getting the message through? Have you ever tried to talk with someone who was so busy you could not get him to hear you? Distractions prevent us from giving our undivided attention to the messenger. So too, God has His way of taking us aside to get our undivided attention. For Paul, it was Arabia for three years; for Moses, it was 40 years in the desert; for Joseph, it was 13 years in Egypt; for David, it was many years of fleeing from King Saul. God knows the stubborn human heart. He knows that if He is to accomplish His deepest work, He must take us into the desert in order to give us the privilege to be used in His Kingdom. In the desert God changes us and removes things that hinder us. He forces us to draw deep upon His grace. The desert is only a season in our life. When He has accomplished what He wants in our lives in the desert, He will bring us out. He has given us a mission to fulfill that can only be fulfilled after we have spent adequate time in preparation in the desert. Fear not the desert, for it is here you will hear God's voice like never before. It is here you become His bride. It is here you will have the idols of your life removed. It is here you begin to experience the reality of a living God like never before. Someone once said, "God uses enlarged trials to produce enlarged saints so He can put them in enlarged places!" He brought me out into a spacious place; He rescued me because He delighted in me (2 Samuel 22:20)
Therefore I am now going to allure her; I will lead her into the desert and speak tenderly to her. - Hosea 2:14
LUKE 16: 8-9
8 "The rich man had to admire the dishonest rascal for being so shrewd. And it is true that the citizens of this world are more shrewd than the godly are.
9 I tell you, use your worldly resources to benefit others and make friends. In this way, your generosity stores up a reward for you in heaven."
Who is `EDEN ?
The answer to that question is all over these pages. A bio of sorts is uploaded, so begin there.
What is `EDENintheDESERT ?
I pray in time, it'll be a collective that truly reaches out, first and foremost, in their immediate circle of influences, with aide and assistance to those with God ordained visions, helping them to achieve their goals with spiritual guidance, counseling and support. I would like for it to be a formal place, in the DESERT, where other creative souls can congregate, cohabit and creatively encourage one another. A spiritual consortium, you might say.
How does `EDENintheDESERT work ?
In the grand scheme of things, presently it's my personal calling to just be a vessel through which God's provisions pass on to those that he allows me to connect to in convenant relationship. Specifically working with those that feel out-of-balance or challenged and are in need of mentorship and/or sponsorship for the visions that God has poured into their hearts, I offer my time and resources as God directs and willingly share my journey and testimony as a guide to never, ever give up in the pursuit of your anointed call.
How does `EDEN find artists to mentor or support ?
Artists actually find me, It's always been that way. And at times, it's overwhelming trying to figure out ways to meet their need for support or encouragement. There are artists in the marketplace, right now, that deserve to be inthe SPOTLight and I'm dedicating my life to promote those that I know truly are 'ready' to step center stage. Some of these artists I've known for years, first from my days online at MP3.com, and now MySpace.com, as well as Facebook.com. Others, I stumble upon prophetically, or they reach out to me from my online exposure in music and film. It's not just artists in music, but in time, all other mediums of creative media that I'm interested in SPOTLighting. Creative Craftsmen are my passion. There's no rhyme or reason in the introductions. I see it all as God's Sovereignity.
Please link directly to www.EDENvision.net to be introduced to some of my most incredibly gifted brothers via their video postings.
What's ahead for `EDEN ?
My future intention is to become a full production house and studio, in the desert, to truly bring these SEEDS of talent together for creative ventures and touring. In this moment, I am laboring to make this a non-profit entity and continuing to prepare for that faintful day when I can work in earnest on this complete vision.

I JOHN
3:16
We know what real love is because Christ gave up his life for us.
And so we also ought to give up our lives for our Christian brothers and sisters.
3:17
But if anyone has enough money to live well
and sees a brother or sister in need and refuses to help,
how can God's love be in that person?
3:18
Dear children, let us stop just saying we love each other;
let us really show it by our actions.
