I rarely post someone else’s message, but I’m going to make an exception with this one. The following message is authored by the pastor at Rick Joyner’s Moravian Falls church in North Carolina. I’m posting it here, in my blog because I believe it’s for all of us. I’m not the only one who cries out for the church to be ready. Those who are listening, cry out in unison with the Spirit of God for the Church.
Please read this post and take it to heart. The time to get ready is NOW!
Love,
Jim

This past Sunday (Feb. 13th) at HIM in Fort Mill, Rick again encouraged the congregation to do what they could to have at least a 3 week up to 3 months supply of food on hand. In addition, and more urgently, we must have some idea on how to obtain drinkable water. Given the instability both nationally and internationally, Rick strongly believes that although we must not give in to a spirit of fear, it is wise and prudent to store food as an emergency back up.
We have also stressed this on a number of occasions and I again encourage each family to do whatever they feel is wise and out of their own obedience to the Lord. Remember Noah, being divinely warned of things that had not yet occurred, prepared and built the ark. As a result of Noah’s obedience, he and his household were saved. I also agree that fear has no place among believers, however, like Noah, it takes far more faith to be prepared than to do nothing.
Stored food does not have to be wasted but can be easily used and replaced on an ongoing basis. Regarding water, there are some simple solutions that we will be sharing with the congregation in the coming weeks.
On another note, we know it is easy to get out of the habit of attending church and we also don’t want attending our meetings to be just another religious tradition. However, there is a reason we are exhorted in Hebrews 10:25, when it states,“not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching. ” In other words, in the times we are living we should be drawing closer together and we should become more connected because we need each other! It was Noah and his ‘family’ who were saved. Yes, we attend corporate meetings to worship and hear the Word and share what God has done for us, but it is also to be connected with family! The Scriptures confirm that He sets the solitary in families. That is a lot of what church is all about. It is vital to be properly connected in the days that are to come.
These are incredible times to belong to the One who rules and reigns over all. It’s not a time to fear, but to rise up in faith. The greatest days to be a Christian living on the earth are in front of us.
If anyone needs some tips on how to begin storing food, please let us know.
