Sunday Prepper Bible Study- Nehemiah 4:7-8
But when Sanballat, Tobiah, the Arabs, the Ammonites and the men of Ashdod heard that the repairs to Jerusalem’s walls had gone ahead and that the gaps were being closed, they were very angry. They all plotted together to come and fight against Jerusalem and stir up trouble against it. Nehemiah 4:7-8
Anytime you set out to accomplish any task that God has put before you, you should expect opposition from the enemy. This spiritual principle is so reliable that if I’m not experiencing opposition when taking on a new project, I have to pray over it to make sure that I’m in God’s will. Adversity has become a very dependable source of confirmation for me for everything from this website and my books to trying to sell my house. If the trolls are posting hate-filled comments, if the website is getting hacked, if personal problems are coming up to distract me from sticking to my schedule, I can be sure that its the enemy trying to throw a wrench in the works and that I’m on the right track. On the other hand, you must always pray for discernment. Sometimes, God can speak to you through circumstances. He can close doors for your protection. When he does, we have to have the wisdom to leave them shut. If you are walking with him, you’ll know in your spirit why the circumstances are what they are. An attack against a God-ordained project feels very different than a door that God has closed.
If you are new to prepping or would like to learn more about how to prepare for tomorrow, please read our 7 Step Preparedness Plan. Come back every Sunday for a new Prepper Bible Study! The most important prep of all is knowing GOD. Jesus said “what does it profit a man if he gains the whole world yet loses his own soul?” Prepper translation: “What good will it do you to survive the coming economic collapse, nuclear war or even a zombie apocalypse if you don’t know you will go to heaven when you die.” A recent study found that 10 out of 10 people die! On that day we will meet our Maker. It only makes sense to be prepared for that day. Click here to learn more about knowing GOD.
Have a blessed day and happy prepping!
