Think about it: "No man can buy or sell"

I know the perfect place. Lol When my boy was a toddler, I went to check the mail with him. Heard something in the bushes. Thought it was a snake. Went back in.

Looked out the kitchen window. Cougar staring at me. Big cat was stalking me. I believe God was protecting me. And my boy!

When I was homeless I got stalked by mountain lions. One night my friends and I took our swords that we built and walked down this dirt road at midnight. And as we walked we heard a baby crying from the woods just not too far from us. We continued to walk and same thing but on the other side of the road. Later I read an article on mountain lions. They sound like babies crying.

No need to freak out when prophecy begins to pass. Keep running your race of trust. And look up, your redemption draws nearer.

Very true!!

NO that would terrify me

And now I’m weeping. I just…I look at how fearful and weak in trust I was when I first met Him and I see the firm place He has made for my feet and how He strengthens tottering knees and I’m just overcome.

And I’m thankful He grew my trust and I can walk calmly through this current storm. It amazes me how calm I can be now.

Aww *hugs*

Are you going to be okay?

 

[stunnedbygrace]

It would have when I was homeless. I had to jump over a fence and sleep in a detention pond area to evade the mountain lions. But when we had swords it wasn't a problem, they kept their distance. I actually caught my pant leg on the fence top and was stuck hanging upside down from the fence until I got the strength to set myself free.

We built swords as youth. It was our past time. I didn't fight off the mountain lion directly. Although my Indian friend did, with a large knife. At least that's the story he told us. He was also stalked by a mountain lion. I grew up on an Indian reservation.

Yes and that is an intense one and if you think about it, the pharmaceutical industry IS probably the most important in the world. Im not sure what would be more important, food or medicine...

I would think medicine because you can't just grow pills in your backyard. We are 100% reliant on them.

And the whole thing freaks me out and makes me nervous

Yes, men see it as most important. The whole world now looks to the WHO, the FDA, Fauci (which, incidentally, means: maker of sickles or one who uses a sickle to cut down grain.) The whole world is looking to, trusting, depending on, men, pharmaceutical makers, doctors, scientists, and organizations.

This is perfect

 

[stunnedbygrace]

Men have many idols today. IRA, (this is a big idol in the US.) WHO, FDA, Pfizer, UN. The list goes on and on of these modern day idols men look to to keep them safe.

We had, a few years back, a massive “bailout” to save our “Baals”, so they could return to keeping us safe.

God blew them over and we hammered them back up.

Should this be what happens, you will find yourself in position to see God's hand at work, and your nervousness will diminish as your faith grows stronger. Remember, you only need mustard seed sized faith, God takes it from there.

Much love!

It’s like a movie. I can see it.

Very true, @marks !

I personally read Revelation as in chronological order and I don't see the world being there yet. But I cant deny seeing similarities.

Is it authentic or is it a demonic spirit causing division and fear between God's people? I don't know that either.

I guess we just have to trust God and go along for the ride.

I read it the same way.

I think the closer we get, the more things will look that way, and act that way.

Much love!

Oh my!
When my youngest son was in 5th grade, they had to call off all outdoor activities bc a mountain lion was prowling around the playground. Our area has the occasional mountain lion, but most officials try to say it's rare to zero. Well, what do they know? I think they hide a lot bc they don't want to discourage tourism.

IF this whole thing was the precursor to the mark of the beast, which I think it could be...

1. I think we would go before that time. I don't believe we would be here.
2. BUT if we didn't, how would you survive?

You wouldn't be able to drive because you couldn't afford it.

They'll be here sister, or there wouldn't be warnings in scripture about not taking the mark.

Your answer is that the Lord will provide supernaturally when the time comes, for those who are completely sold out to Him and have placed their lives in His hands. He provided oil for the widow woman through Elijah. He multiplied two fishes and five loaves to feed thousands. He fed Elijah by the ravens. He multiplied Isaacs' crops and caused them to grow supernaturally when everyone else's around him died of drought.

But for those who do not have the faith yet to believe Him for such things, we can be thankful that there's still time to draw closer to the Lord. I'm at the place now that so long as I staid close to God, the economy could completely tank and I would still know I'd be provided for somehow. But that's from having walked with Him for a lot of years and seeing Him provide. That, and I have grown to trust that I am called with a purpose, and have a destiny to fulfill.

Do you think so? I am under the impression we're not even past Rev 7 and I think the warnings in the Bible are for the left behind given a second chance.

You wouldn't need a prepped pantry full of 10+ years of food. You wouldn't have a pantry.

I think the Christians would all be nomadic. Maybe we would barter and forage. Maybe we would just have to stick really close together.

But I think of Luke 9, Jesus told the 12 to go with nothing. I feel like it was an act of faith for them and that the Lord would provide for them on their journey.

if we know these things and do not apply ourselves now, what makes us think we will apply ourselves then?
