Preparation for Economic Collapse... Tips?

[Eric Latham]

Hello, so this past weekend, God gave me 3 dreams Saturday, Sunday, and Monday. The last 2 were warnings to my parents to get into God's will. See, I am very adamant about preparing for this because God is showing me his will for our neighborhood. I was actually just recently reading 1st Samuel maybe 2 or so weeks ago and I think in chapter 2 or 3, Samuel makes his dwelling place in Ebenezer. This word means "Stone of Helps". Now I did not receive any confirmation from God that this was his will yet, but during those dreams, he sort of just made it known in my spirit that this was what he wanted for our neighborhood. Our neighborhood is called Ebenezer Road. My dad is very against preparing. He thinks I'm crazy for even talking about it. He thinks I'm crazy for fasting. Pretty much anything that requires faith, he says I'm crazy . I really hope God changes his heart but I told my mother about my dreams and told her that this is a warning directly from God to get in his will. I explained to her many things. She now is on the same page I am and right now I am making a list on how we need to prepare because God wants to make this neighborhood into a whole functioning church/farm/refuge community for others. We will be having tons of people sleeping in our houses and our houses will be stocked up with supplies. There is a lot of potential farmland in the property of a man who's like I go to to pray at. I can see the beautiful things God has in store for us... if we are obedient to prepare. My mom is still putting it off a little. I don't think she understands how urgent it is. But if you guys have any sites or tips for anything regarding making this place a refuge for the love of God, please share!

i just wrote a long description of what weve done and what i think but i lost it lol sorry i dont think i have it in me to write it again. but preparingfortheperfectstorm.com is John paul jacksons site dedicated to this exact subject, and it has lots of good stuff. also if you prepare God will use you big time so get ready spiritually to help people there as well as their physical needs.

yah... ya really gotta b led on this one. if you feel it's a comunal thing to involve neighbors then maybe you should pray that these people & their heart on the matter begin to be revealed.

one good thing to do when you don't personally have the resources to gather stuff is to self-educate on the subjects & maybe have a guide or manual so that when people do come forth, they will begin to see a game plan & see where they can fit in. "SAS Survival" books abound.

again...as led cuz it can turn into running to and fro just like the spiritual stuffs... so always follow through w/ each baby step He has you take.

we are getting ready to make a 3-55gallon rain barrel water system out of necessity because the gutter system overflows in an area and needs readjusted anyways. a few months ago, the Lord pointed out to me an automatic waterer unit for animals that was on clearance (last one on the shelf, like it was put there for us). we'd thought it'd be great to downsize our work load w/ the animals.... so we will rig the water system rt up to this waterer gadget for a 2=fold great solution. and that's how it seems to be for us.... He shows us something & we take note & then it's all a matter of thinking resourcefully and waiting for the rt timing.

resourcefulness is key.... society is so used to pushing buttons and 'ready now'.... the whole sense of inventiveness and perseverance definitely something to cling to. like that 'robots' movie...LOL, 'see a need, fill a need'.
bless u!
