Physical Preparedness
Important Notes:
It's never too late to start preparing!
We do not prepare to expect calamities. We prepare so we can thrive.
Let's prepare from the place of joy, love and rest.
Though there are a lot of things that we can prepare, we need to practise hearing God's instruction.
Do not prepare for "just in case".
If God tells you to prepare certain things, obey with diligence.
If God tells you need not to prepare for anything physically, so be it.
God has unique plans for each of us as the body of Christ. Don't speculate and plan all on your own. You also don't need to compare and worry for "not preparing enough". As long as you obey God's instruction, you are enough.
If you find yourself in fear, talk to God to resolve this first before preparing.
Though the prep work may consume time, do not forget the relationship with God is the most important of all.
Do not forget to also prepare yourself spiritually for Jesus's return.
Possible Preparation
Barter
The important aspect of the “mark of the beast” is that people could no longer buy and sell without it.
Barter could come into place by that time. (no longer use money to trade goods, but goods exchange for goods)
Keeping solid gold or silver could be useful by then.
There is also a popular concept of living “off-grid” among people who wants greater freedom over their lives. You can search online and learn a lot about how to live in a self-sustain way.
You can ask God if there is anything that you can start collecting in life for barter later. It can be something cheap and easy to keep, e.g. soap bars!
Bug Out Bag
A bug out bag (BOB) is a portable, emergency backpack designed for quick evacuation during disasters like fires, floods, or civil unrest.
It typically includes at least 72 hours worth of essential survival items—water and food, medical supplies, warm clothing, valuable documents and cash, and tools such as flashlights, whistles, and radios.
Water Storage
Water Filtration
Food Storage
Food storage is important for natural disasters, famine, global supply chain disruptions by pestilence and war, “mark of the beast” that restricts people to buy and sell.
Just like God gave Pharaoh the dream about famine, and so Joseph set up the warehouse in Egypt before famine hit the land (Genesis 41), God has been calling some individuals to set up the “Joseph’s warehouse” and different agricultural plans for the End-times.
God has also been leading some people to set up their own farm to grow their own food.
Technology for long-term food storage includes:
Aseptic sterilization (mostly use in military rations Meals-Ready-to-Eat, MRE)
Freeze-dried fruits and vegetables (storage up to 25 years ambient)
Canned food
Foods preserved in brine or vinegar
In 2021, the Lord led me to set up the business Sufficient Alley to supply preparedness solutions, including Meals-Ready-To-Eat (MREs), 20-year shelf life high energy biscuits and freeze-dried fruits and vegetables. Currently, we welcome wholesale and import inquiries. If your company or organization is looking for these products, feel free to reach out to us.
Miracles
Some believers said that by that time, we can do miracles of food multiplication just like Elijah and Jesus.
I do believe in this.
However, Katie Souza gave a very good reminder in the below video that we need to learn how to make this happen – we need to practise that! (begins at around 10:00)
Katie Souza is a minister who witnessed and performed countless healing miracles. Instead of praying desperately to God by then to make miracles to happen, she shared we need to learn how to open heaven in our lives. Creating a realm of praise and thanksgiving and worship in our home is what allows open heaven.
Reminder:
There are a lot of things that we can prepare, we need to practise hearing God's instruction.
Do not prepare for "just in case".
Only follow God's instruction in preparing for the End-time. Obey with diligence.
If you find yourself in fear after reading all these, talk to God to resolve this first before preparing.
