GIVE US THIS DAY OUR DAILY BREAD
ANNAPOLIS ROYAL, Nova Scotia, April 22, 2022 – I have to laugh a bit at Christian preppers.
They’re usually the same people who stand every Sunday with arms outstretched, palms upward, loudly reciting the so-called Lord’s Prayer, which includes the line “Give us this day our daily bread”.
And then they go out and buy a 5-year supply of MREs at Walmart, and they don’t see the irony in it.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: Prepping is anti-christ. Jesus never prepped, other than for his spiritual tests. He was King not only of Israel, but also of the quick get-away and traveling light. When he taught us to pray to God to give us our bread daily (that is, our food), it was because that’s how he lived. He didn’t say one thing and then do something else; he was no hypocrite. He taught us to pray to God to give us our bread daily because that’s how he lived and how he knew we should live.
But Christian preppers appear to know better than Jesus when it comes to food. Even as they pray to God to give them their bread on a daily basis, they hoard enough beans and rice and Spam to last into the next millennium. And they don’t see any contradiction there, because the words they mouth at church don’t really mean anything to them.
It’s classic lip service.
Did you know that when you buy more than what you need at any given time, someone else won’t have enough?
The fear-driven food hoarding that’s been going on for the past few years is not from God. The recent spike in fear mongering over a forecasted famine is also not from God. All you need to ask is “Who benefits?”, and then you’ll see who’s pushing the panic button to get you to spend all of your disposable income on food and other preps.
I don’t need to show you statistics about how the globalist businesses have made off like bandits since the start of the “pandemic”. You can see it for yourself. Meanwhile, small and micro-businesses are daily dying the death. It’s almost as if the lockdowns and restrictions were imposed solely to destroy the Mom & Pops and further enrich the globalists. But they wouldn’t do that, now, would they? ;D
We born-again believers need to ignore the siren call of prepping. We need to follow Jesus not just spiritually but also in physical matters. When he told us not to worry about what we’ll eat or what we’ll drink, he meant it. When he said that unbelievers worry about those things but we shouldn’t, he meant it. He wasn’t just filling up his followers’ heads with words; he was teaching them how to live. And what he taught them was that God will provide for his children in ways that we cannot even imagine, as long as his children remain faithful to him.
If you’re a born-again believer and you’ve prepped beyond having a few things in the cupboard that you could leave behind without a second thought, you need to stop. You need to refocus on God’s Word and actually listen to what Jesus is teaching you. You cannot call yourself a Christian and at the same time have months’ or years’ worth of food squirreled away. That makes you a hypocrite.
What you do with all the food and supplies you’ve prepped thus far is between you and God. But if you’re reading this and you still go out tomorrow or the next day or the next and buy more than what you reasonably need over the short-term (that is, until your next anticipated grocery shopping trip), you’ve got some serious soul-searching to do.
And don’t get me started about the “Christians” who are stockpiling years’ worth of bullets to put in their guns to use against anyone who tries to take their food. This is reaching absurdity levels of hypocrisy that I’m sure even Jesus hadn’t thought possible.
The only kind of prepping that is Christian is spiritual prepping.
Everything else comes from the devil.
PREP LIKE AN OUTLAW, NOT AN ANTI-CHRIST
GREENVILLE STATION, Nova Scotia, August 4, 2021 – With the US and Canada gearing up for what looks like another lock-down, many people have started stockpiling supplies again, hoping to beat the rush. Rising prices and rumors of lost crops due to drought and wildfires have also spooked people into panic-buying before prices skyrocket. Even worse, there is a very real threat that the “unvaccinated” will be banned from stores soon if health passports are adopted for general use stateside and in Canada
But none of this should affect us born-again believers. We are not preppers. God did not call us to panic-buy food, water, ammo, or whatever. He called us to prep in his Word.
Here’s why.
If not already, very soon we will be outlaws. No genuine born-again believer has willingly taken the shot, and at this point it is still by consent. You have to consent to be injected with the experimental drug, and I can tell you as a word straight from God that no genuine believer has consented to be injected. Lots of alleged Christians have taken the shot, but no born-again believers have taken it. And they won’t, which means that when the shot becomes mandatory to move around in public, born-again believers are going to be on the wrong side of the law. That makes them outlaws.
Like Jesus.
And like Jesus, we’ll be on the run. There’ll be places we can’t go because we’ll likely be arrested and possibly forcibly injected, or at the very least incarcerated in containment facilities (i.e., concentration camps). But there will also be safe havens scattered here and there. God always makes safe havens for his children, but you have to go to them; they won’t come to you. And don’t expect to hunker down in the safe havens. These will be temporary places of safety only, as no place will be safe for long. Think of how Jesus moved around: at first openly, living in houses, and then furtively, sleeping rough, until finally he was arrested.
Behold, your future!
Which is precisely why being a prepper is actually anti-Christ (that is, against Jesus and his teachings). Because when you’re on the run living as an outlaw, what are you going to do with all your preps? You can’t take them with you. At most, you’ll be able to take a knapsack or something similar, but you might not even have time to grab that when God tells you to leave. Remember that Jesus said you shouldn’t even go back for your coat. When God gives you the signal to go, you go, and if it’s just with the clothes on your back, then it’s just with the clothes on your back.
God will provide for all your needs, as long as you stay loyal to him and Jesus.
You have no chance of surviving either physically or spiritually if you plan to hunker down somewhere with all your preps. What are you going to do when someone comes to get you or your supplies (or both)? Are you going to shoot them? Evangelize them?
When Jesus told us to sell whatever we had to buy a weapon, he wasn’t giving us permission to kill people, certainly not over food. He meant for us to carry a weapon as a deterrent. Strangers will see us armed and give us a wide berth. That’s the point of having a weapon, not killing people. Jesus would NEVER advise his followers to break a Commandment.
Again – God will provide for all our needs if we remain loyal to him and Jesus. That is the full extent of the preps we need to do: obeying God and his Commandments and following Jesus.
There is no instance in the New Testament of anyone prepping, other than for the one guy who filled his barn with supplies and then died the next day, and he’s meant as an example of what NOT to do.
If you’ve prepped, you’d better make your peace with having to say good-bye to it all, because if you’re genuinely born-again, at some point you’re going to have to leave your preps behind. Don’t be like the rich guy who Jesus advises to sell everything and follow him, and the rich guy gets depressed because he doesn’t want to do it. Don’t be that guy. Be like all the ones who, when they got the call, walked away from everything and followed Jesus.
As for what do with your preps, here’s a thought: Sell them and buy yourself a weapon.
