Having the basics covered

I feel like I must  talk about this, this morning-I don't want to give off any false impressions about myself...I am a full believer in God the Father, Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, and the wonderful Holy Spirit, that guides and helps me.  I am no expert-in anything-but I strive to learn and honestly try to do my best, correcting my mistakes as I go along.  I feel very strongly that God is preparing us for a time of great difficulty in this world and I feel a great number of people are blinded to this.  My heart is heavy when I think of all those that live in the world without having the peace and comfort of knowing our Lord and Savior.  That being said- Here I go.  Are you prepared for a time of great trouble?  How will you react in a time of difficulty?  What are you going to do in a time such as that?  Is your family prepared?  Will you seek God first or panic?  Do you have the basics covered?  I know these are difficult questions for some...others may think its crazy...some may take comfort in knowing there are others out there thinking the same.  No matter what your point of view is, these are still questions worthy of asking and seeking God about.  When I started this (homesteading)..it didn't make sense to me.  I couldn't imagine why or how it could be necessary.  I couldn't see a world where I couldn't get what I needed or wanted.  It wasn't logical in my mind but I knew enough to trust in God and to do what I believed to be his will for me.  Thank God for that.  He can work with a little.  Now I don't want to be one of those doomsday people--I'm not one of those doomsday people-We have a glorious time of peace and happiness ahead of us-it may not be in the same way the world see's it.  But I believe even in the midst of great trials we can walk gloriously, unharmed, and with peace.  I just think it is important to prepare, spiritualy, mentally, and physically.  If I am wrong- what have I lost? Nothing.  I have gained knowledge and comfort that no matter what  goes on out there-my family is going to be OK.  Now I can't say for sure what I am preparing for...I think it is going to be a financial crisis in our nation...but who knows.  The President admitted yesterday that there were 'Dark storm clouds over our Country's Economy'  .... Well I don't know about you but I noticed that a while back, it isn't comforting that they are now admitting it.  Don't get me wrong- I love this Country-I love how this Country was founded...ONE NATION UNDER GOD.  I just think we have made some really bad choices and have gotten away from its founding fathers covenant.  I am just as responsible for that as the next person.  I have remained silent when I shouldn't and voted without wisdom.  I have tolerated things in the past that I shouldn't for the sake of 'tolerance and peace'.  No one really wants to think like this- I don't.  It is so much easier to turn a blind eye and go on with your own life-thinking it's all going to be ok.  It always is--a lil up and down sometimes but Its going to work out-someone is going to make it better...fix the problem....we are the great United States after all...doesn't everyone know that......NO, unfortunately not.  I am not trying to cause a heavy heart in this holiday of joy/family/praise...I'm just trying to say- seek God about this-take this time to talk to your family-It is not scary or fearful.  Making changes now can make future holidays more enjoyable.  Give God a little to work with.  And for those of you who have made it all the way through this blog and have a like mind-help me....I'm feeling a bit alone on this topic....It's not easy.  But if one person pray's and makes a change for the better...then its worth it.  I'm not a radical or a 'survivalist' by nature...I'm just me...out here on the farm...praying God's Will be done. Many Blessings to you!

YES YES YES, I couldnt agree with you more. I am sure this year at least for myself I can say has been a year of pruning in the way I view the hooplah of holidays( not just Christmas either) and those things around me. I really believe the Lord is preparing those who serve and love Him for those dark days ahead before the second coming our Christ Jesus, Yeshua. I have never wanted to so much be self reliant from the "world" as I have now with everything going on. This post of yours was a great one thank you!

I Couldn't Agree More!

Just this morning I was reading Proverbs 24:3-4 and verses 27-34. I myself keep asking The Lord." Why is it I have such a NEED to be more self-reliant?) (The Lord leading the way!)

It's almost a desperate need. You have said everything in your post today, that was in my prayers and thoughts this morning. You are not alone. I believe that The Lord is also trying to prepare us for something. He always makes a way for His own.

We need to keep His Word and His ways always before us. He will lead the way. He will never leave us nor forsake us. He is in control!

Thank you for the encourageing post. The Lord has used you this day to answer my heart questions. Isn't He amazing!

We must also keep encouraging one another!

Giving us already right now how to do and feel about the kaos which is coming not by power not by might but by your spirit to prevail. Learning and leaving all that which is not needed but wanted behind allows us to walk on holy ground as you led guide and direct us through to the place of power and dominion. Loving and praising you Father for you bring us riches and your best daily. With much love, In Jesus' Holy Name it be done!
