To the Editor:

September is National Preparedness Month and it’s used to encourage Americans to take steps to plan and prepare for emergencies in their homes, businesses, communities and schools that could happen at any time. National Preparedness Month is recognized each September to promote family and community disaster planning now and throughout the year. There’s no better time to be involved than this September. Experts say every family should keep a full tank of gas, have a pre-planned meeting place, flashlights, batteries, first aid kit, duct tape and plastic sheeting. Experts say have extra water, canned or non-perishable food and non-electric can opener. 

Bottled water in non-toxic BPA free containers that will not leach contaminants into the water is safest. Vitamin C is also great for cold and flu relief and helps your immune system. Dr. Enuf made in Johnson City will store for over two years. Proverbs 30 praises ants as “extremely wise” for storing up many months of food. The book of Proverbs twice says, “A wise man foresees evil and hides himself; but the simple pass on and are punished.” It would be wise to have a year’s supply of food and water so you don’t have to eat the ants, kudzu, dandelions, etc!

The Bible teaches that disasters can strike any time without notice, and they will increase. Things can change quickly and our government can’t protect us from everything and we should plan ahead and value preparedness. People need to prepare spiritually for death by trusting and having a saving relationship with Jesus. The most important preparedness or the ultimate preparedness is found only in Jesus. 

Christians also need to store extra food to help those in need. The Bible says help first your family and church. A world-wide famine is coming. Most countries have grown less food than ever because of fires, drought, floods and other disasters. A record number of food processing plants in America have burned. Wildfires have burned a record number of acres. Some of the western American states have had their worst water shortage ever. 

Dr. Peter Pry says the greatest threat to America is destruction of the electric power grid. The electric power grid could be destroyed by an EMP from the Sun or from a nuclear bomb high above America or by terrorists or computer hackers. This would kill the majority of those in the cities. General Lloyd Austin said our power grid will be attacked and shut down. General Austin said, “It’s a matter of when and not if! “

According to Clare Lopez, Iran has terror cells in the U.S. awaiting orders to strike as they did on 9-11. It’s believed we now have thousands of terrorists in America because of the millions of illegals that have come into America. Evil demonic terrorists gave us 9-11, but only Jesus gives us peace 24-7!
