The issue in these modern days is none of have to grown your own food... teeth your own skins and all of that.

You just go to the store and buy it. And your clothing.. and pay your bills for the electricity and such...

Yet this is a terrible year for floods and storms and insects that eat your food and all that.. and I suggest in case your stores run short or you have no money and must use food banks you best do something.. for it is godly to do so.

Re: Jesus Christ NEVER said anything to encourage PREPPING
God always wanted men to be prepared for hard times because he new until he came to rule the world, hard times would abound.
We are not just to prep for our-self but for others too.
This is why Churches have food banks and prepare for lean times. God even allowed Joseph to interpret Pharaoh's dream to prep for 7 yrs plenty for the 7 lean years.

Matthew 24
42 Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.

43 But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up.

44 Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.

45 Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season?

46 Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.

47 Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler over all his goods.

Re: Jesus Christ NEVER said anything to encourage PREPPING
Old Testament is full of preppers.

Jesus stressed to put God first, even above feeding yourself. Does this mean do not worry about food? No. It means put God first, then go about your life to plant fields, harvest and store.

Carnal vs Spiritual

1 Corinthians 2:13-15
King James Version
13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.

14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

15 But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man.

Does not matter how “logical” it sounds to a carnal mind, it’s still interpreted wrong.

Re: Jesus Christ NEVER said anything to encourage PREPPING
“ Ladies with lamps!”

Those NOT PREPARED to meet the Bridegroom and HIS PARTY,

were left outside of Heaven Weeping.

We MUST “study to show thyself approved of God,
a workman correctly handling the Word of God-

that needs not to be ashamed.

So I believe the story of the unprepared virgins was a

SPIRITUAL WARNING TO BE PREPARED TO MEET

GOD-JESUS on HIS TERMS, not our own. . .

We will be saved by GRACE/FAITH in the redemptive

WORK of Jesus the Innocent Lamb, that ALLOWED

His Life to be taken in
Place of our lives.

Am I wrong to believe that the Confession of Faith of
the Thief on the Cross is no longer an effective defense
before the Judgement of God?

Please see the New Testament book of Hebrews where
the term testator is discussed !

Apparently upon the death of the testator- His New Testament
goes into effect !

Example- Saul (later known as Paul the Apostle) is confronted
on his journey to Damascus to arrest “Those of the Way”( later
called Christians at Antioch)
Even after praying for three days and acknowledging JESUS
as LORD- Saul was STILL NOT FREE OF HIS SINS !
Once Saul OBEYED the commandments of The New Testament
of Jesus was he free of his sins!

Are WE ALL NOW UNDER the same last testament
of JESUS- as was Saul?

I believe that is what The Word of God teaches!

On the physical side of being prepared-Many believe

That Jesus Did Warn Those That Listened To His Warning-

That There Was a Time To Leave Jerusalem- about 35 years

after the death of Jesus as Titus slacked off on his encirclement

of Jerusalem. . .perhaps I am mistaken there also . . .

As Paul said his best efforts were as “dirty rags” compared to

the GRACE OF JEHOVAH GOD.

Re: Jesus Christ NEVER said anything to encourage PREPPING
Why?, you wanna keep this flesh forever?..

Jesus knew their thoughts and said to them, "Every kingdom divided against itself will be ruined, and every city or household divided against itself will not stand." - Matthew 12:26

"And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.

For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers[ity] places.

All these are the beginning of sorrows.

Then they will hand you over to tribulation, and they will kill you. And you will be hated by all nations for the sake of my name.

And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another." - Lord Jesus in Matthew 24:6-10 Vulgate Bible



From that time, Jesus began to reveal to his disciples that it was necessary for him to go to Jerusalem, and to suffer much from the elders and the scribes and the leaders of the priests, and to be killed, and to rise again on the third day.

And Peter [the swarthy a.k.a Cephas is Pope 'Saul' Francis], taking him aside, began to rebuke him, saying, “Lord, may it be far from you; this shall not happen to you.”

And turning away, Jesus said to Peter [Pope Francis]: “Get behind me, Satan; you are an obstacle to me. For you are not behaving according to what is of God, but according to what is of men.”

Then Jesus said to his disciples: “If anyone is willing to come after me [as the great Anti-Christ], let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.

For whoever would save his life, will lose it. But whoever will have lost his life for my sake, shall find it.

For how does it benefit a man, if he gains the whole world, yet truly suffers damage to his soul? Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?.


For the Son of man [Elijah the prophet] will arrive in the glory of his Father, with his Angels. And then he will repay each one according to his behavior.

Amen, there are some here who will not taste death before they see the Son of man [Enoch the Lord, God of hosts] coming in his kingdom.” - Matthew 16:21-28 Vulgate Bible




And do not be afraid of those who kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul. But instead fear him who is able to destroy both soul and body in Gehenna. - Jesus in Matthew 10:28

Re: Jesus Christ NEVER said anything to encourage PREPPING
I have a question about prepping. I've been doing it myself on/off for many years to a small extent, but lately I've been wondering if it makes any sense.

I mean, our Lord Jesus Christ never said that we need to prep. He did say though that we need to have faith in him, and it's all good.

One of my favourite bible verses is Matthew 14:31, where Jesus is lecturing Peter for not having enough faith in him. The English translation is bollocks though, it works so much better in German when he says "DU KLEINGLÄUBIGER".

Isn't prepping in a way just the same? We believe that Jesus will take care of us - but not really - because we are still stockpiling stuff like no tomorrow. Are we these people of little faith?

Shouldn't we just take the doom when it comes, knowing that the only prep we ever needed to do was to 100% trust Jesus Christ?

Jesus also did say, that when the time comes, whoever goes back into his house to collect something, will perish.

DON'T PREP - JUST PRAY?

 Quoting: Kagnimir 79749445


I'm a struggling christian who is still learning. I will say that the verse mentioned had merit to the conversation. That being the case, the only point you should be able to manage is that I didnt remember it word for word, but the lesson of the verse was understood. It's amazing how you tar all Christian's with the same brush. Because I struggle with remembering or havent come across a certain segment yet - you claim all Christian's are like that and have no knowledge of their book? You based that assessment on what? Me? I feel honoured you hold me so highly when I see my self as so low in gods eye. Maybe be less judgemental moving forward?
 Quoting: Little Lost


Please do not see yourself "as so low in gods eye".

Jesus was a walking example of what we could evolve to become spiritually, that is magnificent beings with more caring, kindness, compassion, benevolence, forgiveness, and respect for all.

It is time to break away from the training and conditioning that have made us to accept and believe we are unworthy and born as sinners in God's eyes. Other teachings go even further to make us believe we are born here to suffer.

Discover what the eternal soul really is and begin to understand the very close relationship that our souls have with God. Much more than just being close.

We are made in Gods image, the image of unconditional love, benevolence, compassion, and joy.

Our true hidden nature is unconditional love, benevolence, compassion, and joy. Not the false nature projected by the ego survival mind, as designed on purpose.

Jesus taught us a way of living that brings out our true nature, just like what all divine messengers had taught throughout the ages.

Blessed with free will, we could choose to believe or not. That is the adventure we signed up for.

Good to keep in mind, those who are further ahead on the spiritual path would gave greater understanding and compassion for those behind them, for they too were once at that point of being less aware. Hence, no judgement.

The benevolent, caring, and immensely patient God will always nudge us to go back onto the good path when we veered off it at times through free will. Be grateful and humbled for these divine nudges, which get stronger next time around when we fail to see or heed them the first time. And do not mistaken the caring and benevolent guiding nudges as punushment from an angry and judgemental God, contrary to popular belief.

God is pure unconditional love, always.

All the best!

Re: Jesus Christ NEVER said anything to encourage PREPPING
The Drowning Man


A fellow was stuck on his rooftop in a flood. He was praying to God for help.

Soon a man in a rowboat came by and the fellow shouted to the man on the roof, "Jump in, I can save you."

The stranded fellow shouted back, "No, it's OK, I'm praying to God and he is going to save me."

So the rowboat went on.

Then a motorboat came by. "The fellow in the motorboat shouted, "Jump in, I can save you."

To this the stranded man said, "No thanks, I'm praying to God and he is going to save me. I have faith."

So the motorboat went on.

Then a helicopter came by and the pilot shouted down, "Grab this rope and I will lift you to safety."

To this the stranded man again replied, "No thanks, I'm praying to God and he is going to save me. I have faith."

So the helicopter reluctantly flew away.

Soon the water rose above the rooftop and the man drowned. He went to Heaven. He finally got his chance to discuss this whole situation with God, at which point he exclaimed, "I had faith in you but you didn't save me, you let me drown. I don't understand why!"

To this God replied, "I sent you a rowboat and a motorboat and a helicopter, what more did you expect?"

Re: Jesus Christ NEVER said anything to encourage PREPPING
We are allowed to prep, but we must not put our faith in the actual gear, skills, science or perception. We first must put our faith in the God of Israel and trust in him.

You are allowed to have the following:
- clothing
- food
- drinks
- cookware
- tools
- anything that can assist you in being independant from the system of earthly slavery.

However, each person will have their own personal conviction and commandment from the Lord, just like a Nazarene. For some, you maybe ordered to not go back the way you came. For some, you maybe told to abstain from honey. For some, you maybe told to give up your warm blanket to a homeless person. For some, you maybe told to give the multitool to a mother. For some, you maybe told to bribe a boat smuggler with a thermal scope to evade an enemy.

There is no one size fits all policy for everyone with what your own personal commandments from the Living Creator will be.

Two commandments sums up all:
1) Love the Lord your God with all your heart, body, mind and spirit.
2) Love your neighbour as yourself.

If you love the Lord your God with all your heart, body, mind and spirit, then you will literally do whatever he asks of you.

The ultimate aspirational goal for everyone is to literally live like Jesus Christ, John the Baptist, the Apostles, Moses, Elijah, Elisha, Samuel, Enoch, Noah etc - all of which had sacrificed their fleshy desires to wholeheartedly serve the Living Creator.

So, the simple version is; have a Bug Out Bag, prepper pantry etc, but pay attention to the Holy Spirit conviction, dreams, visions and prophecies for guidance and commandments. If you have a stir in the spirit, then this is a very clear conviction from the Holy Spirit (which if you do not obey is an actual sin). Each will have different stirs etc.

 Quoting: MessiahTrump


Those verses have nothing to do with prepping and certainly not defending with “muh sword”.

Jesus was fulfilling this prophecy in Isaiah:

Isaiah 53:12
King James Version
12 Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he hath poured out his soul unto death: and he was numbered with the transgressors; and he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.

That’s why when asked if two was enough Jesus said it’s enough. Nothing to do with being prepared or defending anything. All it took was two swords to cause people to believe he was a transgressor.

This is exactly why you can not interpret the word of God carnally. Your heart and mind will defile both the word and you.

Re: Jesus Christ NEVER said anything to encourage PREPPING
Doesn't matter what translation.

EVERYTHING Jesus Did and Said was to "encourage" those who could See & Hear The Gospel to "Come Unto The Father" and "...Be Born-Again!"; but... Despite your seeking in The Word, via translations/study etc, You're NOT!


Pretty clear in Matt 13:10-15 that Christ is not concerned with those who cannot See/Hear The Gospel. Says so very plainly, HE Does, in verse 15. HE Teaches using parables so those who cannot See/Hear will Not Understand... "Lest they be converted and I should have to heal them".


The whole thing is about Taking Action because you Love & Trust God. Trust HIM with ALl YOu ARe and All You Ever Will Be. Your Taking Action is the manifestation of your Faith. The "works" that proves your Faith Is Alive. The surrender of self Unto The Father by which HE Makes Us Born-Again.


There's no relationship with God until you are Born-Again.


Never saw all that in The Bible, did you?
Supposed to be On Your Heart... Finally, one day, Deciding to Trust God Fully and Coming To HIM.


"Many were Called, but few are Chosen" Jesus Says in Matt 22:14 which concludes HIS Witness of the why of Christianity.

What HE Says there is that Everyone God Called Unto HIM was chosen, but only a few of them Chose to Answer Father's Call.

Will you Answer HIM?

Incidentally, after those first two slaps, you have no further instructions; at that point you are free to act as you see fit.

Thank you Lester, I will do exactly that.

And for the record, I have felt the presence of our Lord - it's mindboggling. The first time I REALLY felt it, was when I took my eldest son to the church for the first time (he was mostly on my shoulder). The feeling was so powerful I literally cried my eyes out the whole time. Out of happiness.

And you know something interesting? My son is today 15 years old, and he said he wants to go to the church on Sundays again. We don't go there anymore, one large reason being Covid-BS, no church to go to! But the important part is, my son, at the peak of his puberty, has established his own personal connection with Jesus. And that is just PRICELESS.

Re: Jesus Christ NEVER said anything to encourage PREPPING
I have a question about prepping. I've been doing it myself on/off for many years to a small extent, but lately I've been wondering if it makes any sense.

I mean, our Lord Jesus Christ never said that we need to prep. He did say though that we need to have faith in him, and it's all good.

One of my favourite bible verses is Matthew 14:31, where Jesus is lecturing Peter for not having enough faith in him. The English translation is bollocks though, it works so much better in German when he says "DU KLEINGLÄUBIGER".

Isn't prepping in a way just the same? We believe that Jesus will take care of us - but not really - because we are still stockpiling stuff like no tomorrow. Are we these people of little faith?

Shouldn't we just take the doom when it comes, knowing that the only prep we ever needed to do was to 100% trust Jesus Christ?

Jesus also did say, that when the time comes, whoever goes back into his house to collect something, will perish.

DON'T PREP - JUST PRAY?
 Quoting: Karlgel

Have faith in God but tie up your camel. You were given a brain, use it. The Spirit world is different than the physical world. You exist in both. Act accordingly. Or don't. Decisions have consequences.

Re: Jesus Christ NEVER said anything to encourage PREPPING
That’s because a true Christian should not fear that which can only kill the body, whereas prepping is done out of fear of that which can kill the body.
I LOVE GOD AND CHRIST! <3

We’re all in the same game; just different levels
Dealing with the same hell; just different devils

DON'T PREP - JUST PRAY?
 Quoting: Karlgel


Luke 22:36 -- Jesus tells people to prep

36 He said to them, “But now if you have a purse, take it, and also a bag; and if you don’t have a sword, sell your cloak and buy one. 37 It is written: ‘And he was numbered with the transgressors’[a]; and I tell you that this must be fulfilled in me. Yes, what is written about me is reaching its fulfillment.”
 Quoting: MessiahTrump


Those verses have nothing to do with prepping and certainly not defending with “muh sword”.

Jesus was fulfilling this prophecy in Isaiah:

Isaiah 53:12
King James Version
12 Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he hath poured out his soul unto death: and he was numbered with the transgressors; and he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.

That’s why when asked if two was enough Jesus said it’s enough. Nothing to do with being prepared or defending anything. All it took was two swords to cause people to believe he was a transgressor.

This is exactly why you can not interpret the word of God carnally. Your heart and mind will defile both the word and you.
 Quoting: bhdz71


Very true that this was in relation to that prophecy, as carrying a sword in Israel in that time was considered a major crime by the Roman authorities, and bearing one certainly put the bearer in transgression.

However, Jesus was well aware that His disciples had two swords in their possession at the time; His words reflect a time in the future when having money and a means to defend oneself will be necessary. Notice further that this was not a suggestion, but a command.

One can be as spiritual and as far from carnality as one wishes, but to ignore a direct command of one’s Savior because of some prideful construct regarding immateriality is a sin. I would suggest that you repent, lest you be found wanting on that Day.
