📢 Forum Update - Hello everyone! I've made an improvement to the forum that should make following active discussions much easier. Beginning today, forum topics will display the most recent replies first (while keeping the original topic post at the top), so you no longer have to navigate through multiple pages to find the latest conversation. This change also helps improve the browsing experience in long-running discussions with many pages of replies. If you notice anything that doesn't seem to be working correctly or have any feedback, please let me know. — Richard G. I LOVE your testimony, Todd that the Lord will provide! It was a blessing to read it! Lately I’ve been worrying and living in fear and I really shouldn’t be doing this. Saturday while walking my dog, I saw about 20 something ravens flying in a circle. First I thought of “the birds” movie and then I was reminded of I Kings 17 when the ravens brought Elijah bread and flesh in the morning and bread and flesh in the evening! I thought if we are still here and our supply runs out … either the Lord will provide manna for us all or perhaps the raven birds will drop us our food? If so … I will be praying specifically for fried or gilled chicken legs in a bucket. Or a cheese pizza with olives and red/green peppers. :whistle: “Ask and ye shall receive.” “Ye have not because ye ask not.” Thank you Regina :heart: Yes and amen to Faith in the One Who is upholding us, see's our situations, and draws near to answer our prayers. At times He blesses us before we know we need it. Draw near to Him and He will draw near to us. :bible Amen, Todd! I love your example of faith! That is the ONLY way we will survive until the Rapture is to rely totally on God to provide. It is my feeling that that is exactly why we are here to experience all of this to date. God wants us to let go of the world, let go of our independence, and let go of anything else that comes between us and Him. With all of this craziness I stand on the fact that one of God's names is Jehovah Jireh (Genesis 22:14). He has revealed that to me so many times over my life that I'm not concerned at all about losing a job, finding the store shelves bare, or anything else along those lines. I had lost my job several years ago and needed my truck fixed. I went and had it fixed even though at the time I didn't have the money to get it fixed. When I drove back home from the auto repair facility I stopped at my mail box and in the mail box was not one, but two checks and when I added the two together it was exactly to the penny the amount I had just spent on getting my truck fixed. It was in the hundreds of dollars range so there was no way that it was some random coincidence. The two checks were refunds from things that I didn't even know I had coming, and the key point was that when I added the amounts together it was exactly to the penny the amount I needed (it was in the $700 range -- I've forgotten the exact amount). So with all the jab mandates, China hypersonic weapons and everything else going on around me I am comforted in verses like Matthew 6:26 and 1 Peter 5:7. We know how the story ends and we know where our home is. Faith over fear... it works every time.
