Without even opening the pages of scripture we can see the world growing worse day by day. Natural disasters are much more frequent today than ever before. Even without considering the time of tribulation, we should be prepared for events of life which are out of the ordinary such as natural disasters, terrorism and the like. Too many people have fallen victim with the words, "It could never happen to me" still on their lips
Think a moment about Noah or Joseph. They were called to prepare for what was ahead. Preparation is not lack of trust, but is full trust. Listening to His voice and doing things others feel are silly or worse is what God's people have been doing since the beginning of history. Many times this statement is simply a cover for not wanting to face the reality of the say or even laziness toward spending time in His presence.
Can we not just trust in the government to take care of these things?
I have one word for you; KATRINA! You do remember the government response on that day?
I just do not like to think about this. It scares me. What do I do?
Remember God has not given you the spirit of fear. He may however be trying to have you look at the world in a true light and also see that you are not ready. It scares you because you are looking in your mirror, not through His eyes, but through your own. He sees and knows what He has placed within you. You must find this strength which He has placed there. This is the emotional preparedness we must all learn.
I was not raised to handle issues like this. I feel so overwhelmed. Where do I begin?
Read the answer to the above question. God did not make a mistake when He chose you to be a part of this honored generation. Searching to this page on this web site is a beginning for you. Many people did not make it past the first page before they went on to something that "feels good'" Now keep searching and keep praying that search will be ordered by God.
My spouse and children think I am crazy when I talk about preparedness. How do I change their minds?
You are in good company with many prophets and even Yeshua Himself. Do what you hear Him telling you to do. He understands the dilemma you are in as He has been there. Now search the scriptures and see how many heretics, (Joseph) later on became heroes because they continued on and did not waiver.
Why do we need to use a word like survival? It sounds a bit extreme.
The very fact you are reading this means you are a survivor. You have survived everything life has thrown at you so far. After all, the opposite of survivor is well…
I live in the city at the moment. Should I consider moving to the country?
I can not answer this question for you. Only you by the direction of The Spirit can answer this. I can say that many people I talk to today desire to move to a simpler life that the city allows. Yeshua did say to His disciples that there are times to flee the city. Just make sure when you do so it is by His direction. Remember, the safest place in the world is in the center of His will.
I am too old to deal with this now. What do I have to offer?
Remember Moses was 80 when he began his ministry. Retirement and old age are lies of our society. With every breath you breath you have much to offer of the knowledge, wisdom and experiences you have lives through. Do not allow anyone to tell you that you have nothing to offer. You are God's child and a valuable gift to all of us in His family.
Why this generation?
Why not this generation? There must be a generation, which sees the return of Messiah, or scripture is a lie. I do not believe it is a lie, so with world events lining up with scripture, again I ask, why not this generation?
Why Torah is Life?
In Deuteronomy 30 Moses tells the children of Israel that Torah is life. This
principle is just as true today as it was when the words were spoken. In Torah
are the instructions we need to take us through whatever situation we may
have to face. When we follow the Living Torah, Yeshua, He will lead us into
the amazing truths the written Torah holds to give wisdom for the days ahead.
