What we do need and what we don’t need in this hour and the wisdom and sight to know the times
Let me first say that I have not listened to or watched many of the videos out there by very reliable men and women talking about what we need to do in this hour to be prepared for all that is coming upon the United States and the world at this time….
I do however remember listening to things as the year 2000 was upon us… and I do remember many other times that the voices would be raised to admonish the body towards this cause or that and to do this or that in order to be prepared….
While one could say there is wisdom in all of these things and that these voices trumpeting the call towards understanding the times we live in are important… because we are told to know the signs of the times we live in …. I also think there is a lot more that can be said
I do acknowledge that I am in no way knowledgeable in these things and in no way do I say that the Lord has spoken special revelation regarding these matters to me nor regarding when any type of event will happen… but I do know this…
There are many things that we all build upon that get shown up for the sand that they are… and that in a time where all want stability and something firm for themselves and their families there needs to be clear voices saying that the depth of stability that is desired and sought is only found within Him… I watched back in 2000 many run around trying to be as prepared for all that was to come and 2000 came and it went… and those that spoke of such matters never admitted wrong… I guess what I am saying too is be careful of those that would cry wolf… because at some point the wolves will come and we will want to be able to head that call…
I do believe that there are things in the future that are going to rattle the very souls of all men… and that the preparation is going to be key… but here is where I think the preparation needs to be centered upon
I have been asked if the Lord has spoken this or that to me and while there are some things that I do feel God has shown… this is what I truly feel that He has led me to more than anything… it isn’t flashy… it isn’t sending you off in a million directions with a mile long list of all the things you need to have in order to survive all that is to come…. It is to know Him…
To know Him… know His passions… To know His character… To know who He is and to know His heart and His ways and His affections… To understand that though there will be trials and tribulations and incredible hardships upon the earth and within our lives that He has overcome them all and while we are to be wise we are not to be wise in our own eyes or the eyes of men…. And that stockpiling this or that will not see people through the days that are to come when they ever get here… but to know Him and spend time with Him and learn His ways and know that He is the stability that all seek… He is the only Rock upon which to build and that is what we will need always… that is the trumpet we need to sound
People are sent scurrying around to get this or that and have this much of one thing and that much of another… and they are running around at times like a chicken with their heads cut off… getting all worked up about this exciting possibility or that horrific thing about to happen… There IS a peace that passes all understanding and there is a settledness in knowing God that transcends all activity…
Horrible things are happening and will continue to happen and then still the end will come one day… but for all our days we are to know Him and make Him known… it doesn’t take a prophet to tell you that there are horrific and scary things happening in the world today… what it does take a prophet to tell you is that the Lord you know and I know has overcome all these things… and that even within all of these things He will make Himself known…
There are calls to be like Joseph and to help the proverbial Egypts get ready for the days to come but also there are the widows who will take their very last sustaining food stuffs and the Lord will multiply… Know for yourself is all I am saying… know for yourself.. know God for yourself… Know His voice for yourself… know His ways for yourself…
Don’t just keep running out to the field because there are those crying wolf… wolf.. .but learn to hear the Lord’s voice and His calls so that you will know when it is time to prepare and which way to turn….
The one things that will sustain throughout whatever times come is the power and the presence and the reality of God … so know God… spend time knowing Him… it isn’t as fantastic of a message but it is one that when the rains come will have you standing upon the rock and not the sands…..
Just know for yourself…. Listen and weigh …. That is all I am saying .. listen and weigh… and be full of Him…. And you will know…. You will know if like Joseph you are to store up and know if you are like the widow and the Lord will multiply…. Know Him…. Know Him…. Become more like Him and no matter what the days bring you will be found ready….
