PREPARING FOR THE COMING TROUBLE

 

By nature I am a survivalist.  Knowing what is coming

because God said it is, and it has been happening like

he said, about fifty years ago I moved out of town and

into the hills.

Like Noah who built an ark or boat, I built a bomb shelter.

Like Joseph in Egypt storing up wheat, I spent a lot of money

on survival foods.  I have guns to hunt with and fishing 

equipment to fish with.  And yes, in addition I have a hideaway

another place out in the woods.

BUT, BUT, BUT.

After watching and tending all these things for all these

years God has let me see that they are FUTILE.  They are

not adequate.  There are far to many other things that can

kill you.

As I see the terrible times coming that are just ahead

I have been praying about it for a few years now and

this is the way he is leading me.

[Please, seek God's will for you, your life and how he

would have you Go.  If he clearly leads you another

way - follow his direction.]

God keeps pointing me back to the "Sermon on the

Mount."  Don't worry about food and clothes.  Don't

worry about tomorrow.  Look at the birds and their

carefree life. etc. etc. etc.  Jesus gives us this specific

instruction;

"Seek the Kingdom of God above all else,

and live righteously, and he will give you

everything you need.

So don't worry about tomorrow, for

tomorrow will bring its own worries.

Today's trouble is enough for today." 

(Matthew 6:33,34 NLT). 

The only safe preparation that can be made for

the coming days is; PUT GOD FIRST IN

EVERYTHING.  Leave it in his hands.

Thinking of seeking first the Kingdom of God

the Apostle Paul puts it another way, i.e., if 

you are in a relationship with Jesus Christ.

If not, you have lost everything away.

"Since you have been raised to new life

with Christ, set your sights on the realities

of heaven, where Christ sits in the place

of honor at God's right hand.  Think about

the things of heaven, not the things of earth.

For you died to this life, and your real life

is hidden with Christ in God.  And when

Christ, who is your life, is revealed to the

whole world, you will share in all his glory." 

(Colossians 3:1 - 4 NLT)

Grab a tight hold on God and meet me in 

heaven .
