Of Course, the most important thing to do is prepare your heart for the coming of the Lord. KNOW that the time is NOW. Out of His great mercy He has delayed His coming because we were not ready. No more delays are possible. (see the word spoken to Neville Johnson). Get on your knees NOW and repent of any sin in your life. Spend MUCH time praying in the spirit and meditating on the scriptures. TEAR YOUR HEARTS! WEEP MOURN AND WAIL for your country, your city, your children, your spouse because of the extremely hard times that are ahead. Ezekiel 9:4 (New International Version)
4
and said to him, "Go throughout the city of Jerusalem and put a mark on the
foreheads of those who grieve and lament over all the detestable things that
are done in it."
(This of course is talking about the Lord's mark of protection for those who make a stand for righteousness in a dark evil world.) see also Rev 7:2-3 You don't need to be a prophet to see what's going on in the world right now. Not only is the mark of the beast right around the corner, but when natural disasters occur communities are normally woefully unprepared for them. Individuals, families and churches would be wise to consider storing up some provisions. You know what happens when the electricity is out for a day or two, or if there is a severe snowstorm. The grocery stores sell out of milk, bread, water, etc. DID YOU KNOW THAT ONE NUCLEAR BOMB DETONATED IN THE ATMOSPHERE ABOVE THE CONTINENTAL UNITED STATES COULD CAUSE AN EMP PULSE THAT WOULD KNOCK OUT THE POWER GRID IN A LARGE PORTION OF OUR COUNTRY? We could find ourselves without electricity for quite some time. If it was bad enough, technologically we could be sent back to the nineteenth century. We should take a very somber look at where we are spiritually and practically. It's time to simplify our lives, get out of debt, become less dependant on the government. THE UNITED STATES IS ABOUT TO UNDERGO A SHAKING! OUR FINANCIAL STRUCTURE IS ABOUT TO COLLAPSE! Don't panic, but prepare. Store up at least 30 days supply of food and water. The more people that do this, the better off we will all be. We can be in a position to share and help each other. If churches would create a storehouse of provisions, they could be in a position to reach out to their local communities like never before. Check out these pages. I'm sure there are many many others. But these will get you started. http://www.watchmanscry.com/preparation.html http://www.thegoldenreport.com/specialinterest.asp
Here is a very short list of items: Water! (one gallon per day per person) Canned food, Spaghetti, crackers, coffee, nuts (anything that will keep long term without refrigeration) Toilet paper, medicine, personal hygiene products Crank radios, lanterns, batteries, bibles, books If you start a pantry or storehouse, make sure to rotate your stock. START TODAY! and please keep in mind the purpose of preparing for a disaster and or storing some provisions is twofold: ONE In the case of a sudden disaster to keep yourself and your loved ones alive for a few days or few weeks during a transitional time. TWO To have something to share. Sharing your food with the hungry is the best time to preach the gospel. Hopefully when governments fail, the church will stand and rise up and be a light in the darkness. And keep this in mind as well. I've talked to people who have told me they think they can survive just about anything. You can have a storehouse of gold coins, food, supplies, and an army to protect them. THAT WILL NOT PROTECT YOU FROM THE JUDGMENT OF GOD! ONE BLAST FROM HIS NOSTRILS AND THE MOST POWERFUL ARMY IS AS DUST. PRACTICAL PREPARATIONS ARE PRUDENT. BUT THEY ARE NO SUBSTITUTE FOR BEING LED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT. SPEND TIME IN PRAYER AND IN THE WORD AND HUMBLE YOURSELF AND SEEK HIS WILL AND HIS DIRECTION. PROVERBS 3:5 "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge HIM and HE will direct your path's." |
