The Prepper Church - How to Prepare for Perilous Times

Be a prepper! All call to be prepared for the coming of the Lord. Matthew 24:44 Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.

Be watching! Our Lord says, Mark 13:35 Watch ye therefore: for ye know not when the master of the house cometh. Let us keep vigilant. Watch out!

Our Lord says, Matthew 24:4 …Take heed that no man deceive you. Deception abounds with false cults , false gospels, and New Age trends. Five of the seven churches in Revelation were weighed and found wanting. Our Lord tells how, Matthew 7:22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?

We can expect distressing times; Luke 21:9 But when ye shall hear of wars and commotions, be not terrified: for these things must first come to pass; but the end is not by and by. Matthew 24:6 …see that ye be not troubled.

We are seeing… manufactured crises, mandates, nanotechnology. And a lot of talk about depopulation. In fact the Book of Revelation tells of some major depopulation events - There’s almost 8 billion people on earth right now. The 4th seal will kill a fourth of the population. The 6th trumpet will kill a further third. These would basically cut the world population in half. Then bowls 6 and 7 will be even more devastating.

There’s talk of a "Great Reset", and moves to crypto currency and bitcoin. There’s a rising new World Order as governments across the globe fall into line. There’s moves to strengthen the overreaching powers of government over the people. Medical martial law. Tyranny. The United Nations plans to vaccinate children across the globe without parental consent. We are falling into line with big pharma and foreign powers dictating what we do.

We are getting used to lockdowns, shut downs, businesses closed down. Get ready for vaccine passports and digital IDs. There’s significant censorship about what we can and can’t hear. Everything is filtered. So called fact checkers are biased against the truth.

But - you ain’t seen nothing yet! The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse are getting ready - conquest, war, famine and death…

Our Lord urges, Luke 21:34 And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged (burdened/weighed down) with surfeiting (a headache from drunkenness), and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares (unexpectedly/suddenly). It seems some people are going to be unprepared.

Police are forcibly entering churches and closing them down. This is not in Communist China - but in so-called free democratic nations, like Canada.

The Bible calls us to "Watch - and - Pray". Luke 21:35 For as a snare (like a trap that catches an unwary bird) shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth. 36 Watch (keep awake - be alert - keep on the alert) ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man. Watching and praying are tied together. It’s been said that: “The worst sin is prayerlessness.”

There’s a Latin Proverb: “To work is to pray”. Prayer leads us to action. As well as watching. Let us be working. Matthew 24:46 Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing. The Lord commends the one whom his master will find at work - doing his work.

We are called to be occupied; working. Our Lord says, Luke 19:13 Occupy till I come. Our Lord tells us that night is coming, when no man can work. John 9:4 I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work.

We are called to be about the King’s business. Some Christians will say: “I’m willing to be a servant; I just don’t want to be treated like one.” May we count it a privilege to serve! The Scottish missionary, David Livingstone said: “I never made a sacrifice.” He counted his arduous labours for Christ as a privilege.

May we be trustworthy servants of God. 1 Corinthians 4:2 Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful. 1 John 2:28 And now, little children, abide in him; that, when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming.
