HOW TO PREPARE FOR TIMES OF CRISIS
1) MONEY ISSUES:
Get out debt.
Stay out of debt.
People who are in debt are in danger of losing homes,
bank accounts, cars and assets. Scripture tells us to
owe no many anything except love. Sacrifice everything
you can to get out of debt. Anything outside of debt
free is a gambling time bomb.
Rom 13:8-9
Owe no one anything except to love one another, for
he who loves another has fulfilled the law.
Prov 3:27-28
Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due,
When it is in the power of your hand to do so. Do not
say to your neighbor, "Go, and come back, And tomorrow I
will give it," When you have it with you.
Rom 13:7
Render therefore to all their due: taxes to whom
taxes are due, customs to whom customs, fear to whom
fear, honor to whom honor.
Get out of the stock market, it is a gamble. Invest in
coins: gold, silver, platinum, and land. Keep some in a
safe place in case banks fail, bank holidays or change
in currency.
ECONOMIC SHOCK WAVES
WARNING OVERSPENDING
2) STOCK PROVISIONS FOR 3.5 MONTHS
In times of crisis, if supply lines fail for a period of
time, store shelves will be empty in a matter of hours.
What you have stock piled in your home will be helpful
and increase in value for yourself and others as the
days move forward. Keep enough to share and also
barter. Stocking not only includes consumables, but
also the Words of the Lord that you may draw upon.
Prov 6:6-11 AMP
Go to the ant, you sluggard; consider her ways and be
wise! — [Job 12:7.] Which, having no chief, overseer, or
ruler, Provides her food in the summer and gathers her
supplies in the harvest. How long will you sleep, O
sluggard? When will you arise out of your sleep? [Prov
24:33,34.] Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a
little folding of the hands to lie down and sleep — So
will your poverty come like a robber or one who travels
[with slowly but surely approaching steps] and your want
like an armed man [making you helpless]. [Prov 10:4;
13:4; 20:4.]
Proverbs 30:25 NKJV
The ants are a people not strong, Yet they prepare their
food in the summer.
Proverbs 10:5 NKJV
He who gathers in summer is a wise son; He who sleeps in
harvest is a son who causes shame.
Revelation 3:10 NKJV
Because you have kept My command to persevere, I also
will keep you from the hour of trial which shall come
upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the
earth.
Proverbs 15:16 NKJV
Better is a little with the fear of the LORD, Than great
treasure with trouble.
Luke 22:35-37
And He said to them, "When I sent you without money
bag, knapsack, and sandals, did you lack anything?" So
they said, "Nothing." Then He said to them, "But now,
he who has a money bag, let him take it, and likewise a
knapsack; and he who has no sword, let him sell his
garment and buy one.
ELECTRICITY AND FOOD STORAGE
DANIEL FOODS IN HARD TIMES
3) MOVE TO SAFETY AND COMMUNITY LIVING
There are people who the Lord has
called to be intercessors to stand in the gap and
actually live in a dangerous region. There are people
who are called to go into a dangerous region after times
of crisis. We need to follow the Lord's heart in
regards to these things. However the following is
generic wisdom for what is coming.
Move out of large cities. Move away from the east coast
cities. In a time of crisis, if people are hungry, it
invites anarchy in the streets and gang stripping of
homes. East coast is also vulnerable to missile attacks
and increased terrorism. All large cities are
vulnerable to terrorism.
Move away from west coast beaches due to earthquakes,
tidal waves. Move away from hurricane beach fronts in
the south. Move away from volcanoes and breaking dams.
Move where you can grow food and find water.
Ps 55:9-11
Destroy, O Lord, and divide their tongues, For I have
seen violence and strife in the city. Day and night
they go around it on its walls; Iniquity and trouble are
also in the midst of it. Destruction is in its midst;
Oppression and deceit do not depart from its streets.
If you wait until a crisis takes place, you will not be
able to sell your home.

THE LESSON FROM HURRICANE KATRINA
4) CONSIDER NUCLEAR FALLOUT
If a nuclear power plant or fallout from a dirty bomb
has damaged your area, let go and leave the area. This
is considerate of those who would be endangered in
reaching you with supplies.
Matt 7:12
Therefore, whatever you want men to do to you, do
also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets.
If you stay with the crowds in a crisis, you may be put
under marshal law.
HIS BRIDE IS A SURVIVOR
5) SEEK THE LORD INSTEAD OF THE WORLD
The best way to protect yourself from God's discipline
is to align your lifestyle with Jesus Christ and the
Word of God. Re-read the gospels of Jesus Christ and
Paul's writings to examine your life. Are you living
holy and dependant upon the Lord or the world?
Matt 6:31-34
"Therefore do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?'
or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' 32
For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your
heavenly Father knows that you need all these things.
33 But seek first the kingdom of God and His
righteousness, and all these things shall be added to
you. 34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for
tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for
the day is its own trouble.
Eph 5:11-16
And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of
darkness, but rather expose them. 12 For it is shameful
even to speak of those things which are done by them in
secret. 13 But all things that are exposed are made
manifest by the light, for whatever makes manifest is
light. 14 Therefore He says: "Awake, you who sleep,
Arise from the dead, And Christ will give you light."
15 See then that you walk circumspectly, not as fools
but as wise, 16 redeeming the time, because the days are
evil.
HOLINESS VS CARNALITY
6) REPENT FOR VOTING FOR SIN
Angels record how you vote and who you vote for.
Elections are not about money. When you vote for a
person to represent YOU, when they vote to support sin,
you are too.
When you spend money on violent, sexual and filthy
language movies, books, and entertainment you are voting
to sustain and promote those things. Every time you
spend money for filthy entertainment, you are casting
your vote. Repent and change your mind, with the fear
of the Lord.
ENTERTAINMENT:
James 4:1-10
Where do wars and fights come from among you? Do they
not come from your desires for pleasure that war in your
members? 2 You lust and do not have. You murder and
covet and cannot obtain. You fight and war. Yet you do
not have because you do not ask. 3 You ask and do not
receive, because you ask amiss, that you may spend it on
your pleasures. 4 Adulterers and adulteresses! Do you
not know that friendship with the world is enmity with
God? Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world
makes himself an enemy of God. 5 Or do you think that
the Scripture says in vain, "The Spirit who dwells in us
yearns jealously"? 6 But He gives more grace. Therefore
He says: "God resists the proud, But gives grace to the
humble." 7 Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil
and he will flee from you. 8 Draw near to God and He
will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners;
and purify your hearts, you double-minded. 9 Lament and
mourn and weep! Let your laughter be turned to mourning
and your joy to gloom. 10 Humble yourselves in the sight
of the Lord, and He will lift you up.
Cable TV, the internet, the grocery stores and soon
every kind of media are gathering information on what
you choose. When you purchase anything, it is being
tabulated for advertisers as your vote. When you stop
watching carnal entertainment, it is not funded and will
subsequently change to wholesome media.
Supply and demand work hand and hand.
