Quotes
I believe that the assignment God has given me from which this book was written, The Window of the Lord’s Return, was to warn the church that we’re not getting out easy, but we’re going to have to go through three and a half years. -John Shorey
So what are preachers telling us today? They’re telling us, “Oh, don’t prepare, don’t get ready, because God will just multiply the food for you.” That’s all. And there’s nowhere in the Bible that He says that. -Pastor Jim Bakker
Why are we not reading the Word? We have listened to what man has done to ease people. Today we have a religion of ease, a religion of happiness. -Pastor Jim Bakker
I believe that one of the saddest groups of people in the end times are going to be the procrastinators. What’s a procrastinator? Someone that knows they ought to make a decision and they put it off. -Zach Drew

I was thinking about Jesus feeding the masses and then you and John Shorey talked about it too. God is speaking to me. I can not convince my husband that we need to prepare with food, and many of my Christian friends are in the same boat with me. We just get a few more things every week at the grocery and store up,probably because we are moms and we worry. We all work at a charity that serves the children of the community with hunger needs by giving them food for the weekends when they are not in school. We have a 3-4 month supply stored for them most of the time. We all agree that we will share all of that with anyone in need if and when the worse happens. I think we need to bond together in little communites and pool our resources together and take care and love one another through the hard time. I has resigned myself to that thought and it is sustaining me. We do garden and can in addition to the supplies I have collected and we will survive, probably not thrive, but survive. What ever time God gives me here on this Earth and I will continue to proclaim that He is the one true God and Jesus is our only hope. I hope I can bring as many as I can to him before I go out of this world and on to the next. God bless you and your ministry, it is such a comfort to me.
