PREPPING (original) (raw)
PREPPING
Well, it goes without saying that we should always be prepared, like the Boy Scouts'
Motto, BE PREPARED. We all sense that bad times are coming. The Bible says that
bad times are ahead. Really bad times, unlike ever experienced on Earth. The Bible
is NEVER wrong. So do we prepare for unprecedented disaster? Sure we should.
Water, dry foods, ammo ? If ...we are "Pre-tribbers", we won't need any of those
survival assets, will we ? We'll be GONE before any of the bad stuff happens, right?
What about our Loved Ones that will be left behind to face satan and his minions ?
They will NOT be prepared as they don't believe what the Bible says about the Wrath
that is foretold in Rev. If we have the means to gather up supplies, even if we know
we won't be needing them, should we do what we can for their sakes ? It would buy
them some time to realize that we were telling them the Truth, and thereby give them
a little more time to "call on HIM". (Provided they don't take the mark to avoid being
killed) I do KNOW this, that if gathering stuff happens easily, almost without trying,
it is most likely motivated by the H.S. in answer to our Prayers for our Loved Ones
who didn't accept our witnessing to them beforehand. It IS something we can do for
them, cuz we Love em, even tho they didn't believe us about what we warned, that
HIS Wrath was coming, and soon. Again, WE won't have need of preps, but they will.
Think of it as sort of leaving stuff to them like in our "Will". "To my beloved (blank),
I leave all my prep stuff". So, if we have the "means" to do it, and it happens almost
without really trying, maybe we should. It is definitely something we should Pray
about and follow what the H.S. leads us to. HE will, because it Glorifies HIM, not us.
Also, our "Will" should contain "words" that do indeed, Glorify HIM. NOT..."I told you
so" or something similar. Search your Heart and LISTEN to the H.S. for Guidance in
this so you will do the right thing for them. It would be our Legacy to them. And buy
them a little time to come to the right conclusion and seek HIM in earnest. Anyhow,
that is my thinking on the prep question. Just thought I should share. Again, take it
to the LORD in Prayer and do what HE advises. HE is coming soon, we all know it,
but our unbelieving ones don't. They are drowning in their ignorance, maybe we
should leave them a "life jacket". Seek HIS VOICE......for Love and Guidance.
MARANATHA !
