"Captain, my religious belief teaches me to feel as safe in battle as in bed. God has fixed the time for my death. I do not concern myself about that, but to be always ready, no matter when it may overtake me. That is the way all men should live, and then all would be equally brave."
Really not the religious type, but i could listen to this lady and ''feel'' chills down my neck when she recite her favourite verse... Thank you, Bless you and yours.
That is the power of The Holy Spirit dwelling in her.. that is the peace of God you have encountered. Praying you will come to faith in Jesus Christ the only hope we truly have e is in Him and through him.
I felt compelled about a year and a half ago to 'be prepared'. I wasn't sure what for, but since then I've done all that I can. This summer in the UK we have had drought and this winter energy prices will be 4 times higher than they were last year. Many people will be unable to afford heating and we may even have rolling blackouts. I'm glad I've done everything I have.
Hi Natalie, I too live in the UK and since covid hit I started to prepare. I've learned how to ferment foods, and how to store foods for long term storage. Also bought a couple of oil lamps, wool blankets, and a means to heat food and water, bought a stove than you only need sticks for, works very well make coffee on it once a week. Didn't know why I was doing all these thing until this year and knowing what's coming this winter. My husband still thinks I'm mad with the food storage and all the items I've bought so we can have light and hot food and water if there's no electric or gas this winter. x
@@lenaanne9778 Hi there . I'm on the Isle of Wight. I bought a 2nd hand multi fuel stove recently which should heat the whole house comfortably. There is lots of wood here that can be found should the time come . I'm interested in your stove that cooks with sticks . Where did you get it , Amazon ❓ Have a Grace filled day . ✝️🇬🇧🆓🇱🇷
@@lenaanne9778 he’s going to thank you and love you more when you all will need your preps. My husband doesn’t say much anymore and digs in and does the physical work that I have a hard time doing.
How wonderful! Another Oregonian! My mother’s family came over by wagon train. I too am a prepsteader. On our 30 acre farm. With my son and his family. Trying to live as our Lord would have us do. Listening to Him and striving to do His holy will. Living in simplicity. God bless you dear friend. I do so enjoy your videos.
When I lived off the gulf coast in S.outh TX no one mocked if we were ready ahead of time aka prepared for disaster. We avoided price gouging and more. Be BLESSED.
Young lady, I could never explain h 10:35 10:35 10:35 ow much I enjoyed your explanation of prepsteader. I'm a retired Air Force and on my sail boat for years . I now live in my camper and love it. In set up on a farm, grow my vegetables in raised beds alongside. I'm one of the officers in our church and am so proud to know some of your approaches. I also lived in Oregon at one time in my life. Today I'm canning pork loin exactly as you explained it. I also will be 90 years old come this September 10th. Thank you many times over. Clayton C. Hedge.
Yes indeed. I Love the Relaxing Way that you Address Our not so Relaxing Times. We Must Wait on the Lord, be Strong and Take Courage because We Know that He IS in Control. God Bless you and your Spirit Filled Channel. 🙏❤🇺🇸
Psalm 27:14 is one of my favourite verses too! You read it with REAL conviction of heart. THANK YOU from an Englishman 🇬🇧 near the Yemen border and knowing how SHORT and how PRECIOUS life is.
Paulette, my condolences on the passing of your beloved twin sister. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your loved ones. May our loving Father put His arms around you now, and may you feel His comforting arms around you and give you peace, as only He can give. All in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Amen. 🕊️🕊️🕊️
I’m so sorry for your loss. I emphasize with you because I have a twin sister and I feel if she passed away half of me would die too. But, we have a blessed hope that if we are born again and truly try to live the life that Christ would have us to live then we will see and be with our loved ones for eternity. I pray for strength and for comfort in your days ahead. Find something your twin loved to do or always wanted to do and try to do something toward that. Like, if she loved animals maybe work at or donate to Animal Shelters or something else. God bless you dear
Thank you for sharing your thoughts behind being a prepsteader. It makes perfect sense, a marriage of faith and work. Really this is possible anywhere we might live. Thanks again, Michele
Thank-you for sharing your story, Christa❤️ I do believe that we can and should use our life challenges, experiences and events to help and encourage others. I often edify my six children that failures aren’t necessarily failures if we’ve learned from them. ❤ Your admonition and encouragement in this video is surely a blessing to me today-not necessarily because I am worried so much about the future but because I need the reminder to focus on the task at hand. Thank-you😊❤katie
I truly believe this is my favorite one of your videos! What an excellent explanation if a prepsteader. What wisdom of the scriptures you have shared in this video. Thank you!
Hallelujah!!! It’s raining in Abilene,TX. Nice slow rain most of the night! This old woman dancing around like a kiddo!!! Praise God, I can plant fall garden! Yep I felt the strong need to order those few remaining preps last night and I expect Amazon to have them here in a few days!!
Oh my sister in Christ you are should a blessing. Yes, the fear of God is the beginning of wisdom. Children of God we all should be “Prepsteaders”. 👍🙏💕🙋🏻♀️
An Oregon girl! I lived in Sisters, Oregon for several years. I have such an appreciation for people who actually grew up ‘in the country’. Growing up in the prepper lifestyle makes it just more of a way of life. Things we do every day that so many are having to learn. I thank God for you and your ability to share your knowledge and your love for our Heavenly Father. ❤️🙏❤️
I’ve just found your channel and am fairly new to prepping as well. I’m not where I need to be, but I’m thankful for Patara and other people like you that encourage us to be ready for whatever may come. God bless and come soon, Lord Jesus.
What a beautiful blessing this video was for me today, several months after it was originally posted. It is easy to become overwhelmed with decision making when one is trying to be in a position of preparedness. The reminder to wait for the Lord’s leading to the next thing is not unfamiliar to me but I can see now that I was focusing to much on a ‘to do’ list with a timeline of my own making. Thank you for the gentle encouragement and for sharing these beautiful passages of scripture. God Bless you.
Hey thanks for a Clear and kind " Steader explanation, I'm an Southern Oregon Steader I need your preayer to The Lord to send my way a Beautiful Companion 'Wife' to complement my life as an Oregon Homesteader thank you I hope the Lord hear yours and my prayers Keep up the Good Work ! Blessings! ! !
Most dont have the courage to admit there fears as you did. I think there is a song in that experience- God Dad and a wet Blanket. Thank You Chista I needed that today.
Wow sis. I live in SW Washington and know that area of Oregon well. The weaving of Gods word into your analogies are very suitable. I truly do understand Prep -Steading in a more wholesome way now. Especially because you're bringing Gods word in on your shares. Psalm 25 is my second favorite to Psalm 27 ,because he promises to reveal his covenant to those who fear him. Thank you so very much. God bless you.
What an encouraging video. You are a joy to listen to. Feeling the conviction to ground myself where I am instead of constantly looking ahead Thank you 🙏🏻
Thank you for the encouragement! Your words of wisdom are so timely. Reminders are great; they help to keep us on track, especially in the times that we are living in. Trusting and waiting on the Lord is the key to peace! God bless.
@@PREPSTEADERS I've learned a lot from you over the years. I've used your laundry recipe for years now. 😊 Will you *PLEASE* share some parenting tips for Christian moms. I'm struggling in this area. 4 under 7. Any authors or principles. Desperately needing advice. I'm listening to Big House in the Little Woods and feeling like a failure. Help! Thank you and God bless you. 🙏🏼💗
I grew up on home grown and prepared foods. I am trying to do a little each year (70 yrs old) makes it a challenge, but worth t! Thank you for your Biblical wisdom! Love your channel!
Thank you so much for the encouraging words of wisdom and truth from God’s word. I needed those words today . Wait for the Lord. Also don’t stress out about the future so much that you lose sight of the present. I wrote that down and I am putting that on my refrigerator so it is on front of me daily to remind me of just that. God bless you richly for your kindness.💕
Thank you Christa! don't know how I missed watching this video until now? Your message was received and understood. Glad that you shared your background and explained what exactly defines a prepsteader. I appreciated the bible verses and have them highlighted in my bible app. Hard to say how much more we will have to endure until we see our Lord. God bless!
Thank you for helping after Katrina! I’m in north Louisiana, so we mostly got rain and some wind but not like the areas most affected by Katrina. God bless you and your family.🙏♥️🙂
I love your message sister. Its not because its fear based but hoped based. I havent listened to many of your videos but a handful.Thankyou for your messages of hope in Jesus Christ!! He is King!
Thanks Again Christa.... wonderful Video, you said it perfect. I feel with being the calm in the storm comes wisdom of what to do! your father sounds' like a wise man! Your are blessed.
Wise words. I needed to hear this. Sometimes we can get caught up in what’s going around us and in our preparations and forget to just be still and live. God bless you❤️
Thank you for your beautiful content. I found your channel recently when RU-vid recommended your interview of Rory Feek. I so admire your gentle and peaceful presence. God bless you!
Hello family preppers, the best item to have in ur preps is the holy Bible. One of my favorite Bible passages is Psalms 37, the whole chapter. It brought me thru! I can never get tired of listening to GODS WORDS. Thanks Christa for the bible study. I would really love to meet u and and study Psalms 27.
Hi James I hope my comment didn't sound as a form of privacy invasion your comment tells of a wonderful man with a beautiful heart which led me to comment I don't normally write in the comment section but I think you deserve this complement. If you don’t mind can we be friends? Thanks God bless you….🌹🌹🌹🌹
I knew when I watched the first video I saw of you that you are a Christian even before you spoke. It exudes from your entire being. I am so thankful for you and the "lessons". you present. I am also thankful to see that you have the courage to present His Word in an easily understood, straightforward format. It doesn't happen often these days and I, for one, find it refreshing and inspiring. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for sharing, that must have been very scary, what a blessing to have parents that is so blessed with the knowledge, peace, and love to get yaul through that and to instill so much in you You have an amazing call on you God Bless
🙏✝️♥️ Thank you so much for this message today. I love the scriptures you add at the end of your videos. I will be watching this several times as an encouraging reminder.
Amen prep sister in Christ. I too had a similar experience and learned from my dad to be prepared. God helps those who help themselves. God Will Provide! God bless your family and plz keep these videos coming. It's getting dark out there.
That was really well said. Thank you, for that, I think that something we tend to forget (or many are never taught) is the level of partnership we are to walk in with the Lord. He is not distant. He is very present. We are to live in faith and relationship. Not go, go, go, rush, rush, rush, push, push, push. Rather to move when He moves and rest when He rests. Fearing nothing, panicing over nothing because we live in His shadow. Thank you for your channel and for sharing your faith like you do 🙂
Christa you are such a BRIGHT LIGHT in a DARKENING world...Than you sister.. And thank you for the prominent display and references to God's WORD the Bible..
I just recently found your channel when it was recommended to me by RU-vid. This was such a blessing to me tonight! May the Lord richly bless you for your faithfulness to Him!
You were 1st in my feed, never seen your channel before. Your title got me to play the video. Thank you. I needed this reinforcement, soooooo very well said.
I enjoyed this video. Thank you. I have missed seeing for a while. Yes, God is our anchor in every situation. Yes, we prepare for the unexpected things in life, but live today with joy and confidence that God is in control and will bless those who honor HIM.
Thank you for taking the time to explain both prepping and steading. I hope you continue to help encourage and educate others. Your wisdom is a valuable source for those who are searching 🎉.
Thank you Miss Christa. The peace and calming in your words are a blessing whatever the storm. You have given me a much needed sense of peace in my mind and heart to face a time of trial I find myself currently trapped in. You've helped me remember I can do nothing except ride it out and that ultimately God is in control. God's continued blessings to you and yours and the Prepsteaders ministry.
I love this. Thank you for sharing. I wondered how you came up with that name. 🙏💙 you are a beautiful human & I could listen to you all day. As always, thank you for that blessing my friend. ~Sammie
