Dear friends:

Today I notice that WorldNetDaily has a new article titled, "Are feds
stockpiling survival food?"  See

This is very odd because just this morning I received an unusual call
from a friend in another state I have not spoken to for 10 or more
years.  He expressed concern about a near-term national crisis and
told me about several prominent ministers who are advising people to
prepare for such a crisis in America in the very near future.

1.  Pastor John Kilpatrick.  Hear the audio of his stirring sermon
titled "A Storm is Coming," at

2.  Kay Arthur:  See

3.  Reportedly Pastor Charles Stanley (cannot find any link).

The above is significant because of rapture expectations between now
and the end of September, and also the gathering storm concerning
Iran and Israel.  Otherwise, I would not share the above because of
so many false doom and gloom messages of the past.

Personally, I have never felt led to prepare physically because by
faith I hope to get raptured before things get really bad, and I
still believe that.  However, I am open to the Lord changing my
mind.  You may be led differently.

Seek the Lord for wisdom and direction on these serious matters, and
completely trust Him for your well-being.  He tells us, "Fear not,"
and "be anxious for nothing."
