“When the whole world is running towards a cliff, he who is running in the opposite direction appears to have lost his mind.”
- C. S. Lewis
“You think I’m crazy because I question everything… I think you’re crazy because you question nothing.”
I like that quote a lot.
I saw a very true statement that hit home for me.... The bee's don't waste their time telling the flies that honey tastes better then poo. they just keep on making and eating the good stuff and leave the flies to their poo.
amen, I am an ER doctor and I am a Christian. Keep your eyes wide open and focus on the heavens. You are not alone.
My grannie, whose gone to glory now, always said "don't believe nothing you hear, and only half of what you see". That has served me well.
I totally agree, within my household there's a bitter divide...I'm passionate about preparing, hubby is blind as a bat. So I've decided to keep my mouth shut and quietly prepare, keeping it to myself. Not everyone can see what's coming and you can't make them see.
Not my quote, but is worth repeating: Imagine being on the wrong side of history, while it's repeating itself. That's like failing an open-book exam.
No doubt Noah heard cries and screams on the other side of the door after the ark was closed. May God give you peace.
History IS repeating itself right now in this country, and it's disturbing in more ways than one!
I was meant to hear this today. Yesterday I got into an argument with my OWN kids (18 & 16 years old). Both said they don't want to hear about the negative things going on in the world today as this causes them anxiety.
I told them these things are happening whether they like it or not and they're old enough now to work on becoming stronger human beings.
Their father is exactly the same. He believes if he doesn't think about it, it won't happen. I'm the only one that's preparing with absolutely no support 😔Everything I'm doing is for my kids. I'm just very sad but you're right, I can't change them. I just have to keep preparing as best I can.
I am so convicted to leave this life in NYC that my husband and I bought a house in Tennessee. I have been watching you and other self sufficient homesteaders for 6 years. We found our true home with like minded church and neighbors. I am tired of explaining to my liberal family and friends because they will never get me. God bless your message and God bless you.
Not only do I question everything, but these days I believe the opposite of everything “they” tell us.
My husband spent literally hours every week (for decades) trying to help red-pill his family to no avail. That is until this past week. Out of nowhere both his parents are suddenly awakening and understanding what he's been saying for years. So you're absolutely right. We are past the point of trying to convince people because if his family is finally getting it, then the time is truly over for convincing. The others have been warned and it's on them if they ignored it.
First of all, we need to prepare ourselves spiritually.
I'm with you. The ark door is getting ready to close.
It is heartbreaking to try to tell my family. They think I’m crazy. My oldest daughter got the jab and I can’t sleep at night because I worry about her health. All I can do now is pray for her.
My husband and I eat keto and we can literally eat one meal a day and do well! We also feel this will help us in desperate times! Eat nutrient dense foods! No snacking! Low carbs! Carbs make you hungry!
My mom is 97 and in excellent health for her age and has shared so much knowledge over my life and I am so grateful for all she has taught me.
My father always told us to question everything ESPECIALLY those who try to convince you that "you're crazy" and dismiss you. We are on the right path and must persevere, and teach our kids to teach their kids. My teenager thinks I'm crazy and I keep telling him it's better to know how just in case you need to know how.
I just came back from doing maintenance on my husbands grandma’s house that sits empty (she’s in a home) and there is nothing in that place I’d want as it’s in a gated community on a postage stamp piece of land. Even though she lived through the war, she had long forgotten the struggle or decided to not care anymore. That property, as ‘valuable’ as it is is worthless because it’s sitting idle. I don’t want to say the same goes for people but it’s very close too.
I keep pressing my husband to move to more land; I don’t need a fancy new house, just a functional one and more land to grow food on as I’m limited to what I can grow here.
I’ve said my peace to far away family, they don’t want to listen to the youngest sibling/child even though I’m holding the spirits of my grandmothers. They want to believe they know best but all the warning signs are there.
Pray constantly.
Be ready, for the day of the Lord is coming.
I am an Indigenous Person and recognized immediately the hawk messenger from the Divine signaling to you to focus on what is ahead. Your leadership role was truly validated at that moment. ❤
we live in a godless lost world, time to stay focused and share the Gospel best we can.
You have to question everything today. Born in 54 I've seen the "innocence" I grew up with is gone. God is pretty much gone, but that will change in a hurry. Individualism is gone. Personnel responsibility is gone. Honesty is gone. Self reliance is gone. Reason is gone . troubling times. Treasure God fearing like minded people. Be self reliant, prepared and most of all strengthen you relationship with you Maker. I can't figure out how this will all go down, but what matters most after all we can do is faith and trust in God. I may be moving to Texas or Missouri from Utah where it never rains. Helluva time to start over
Holy smokes. God just spoke to me through you. I have literally been struggling with this very subject for the last few weeks. Been parallelized with inaction trying to get a message out to people that simply won't listen because I feel like everything we know and love is hanging on a cliff edge. This includes friends, family as well as strangers. Not knowing what to do or say to wake people up has been very very frustrating and exhausting. I already know that we can't make decisions for people and many won't receive it at all, but that just adds to my frustration. I've become caught in a vicious cycle and have been neglecting my own family trying save everyone. I now know and believe what I must do. Prepare my own mind, body and spirit as well as being "prepped" home wise. It starts today.
I am the one person that needed your message !!
Thank you for being obedient to the Spirit. :)
Amen sister...I'm 70 yrs. old and I raised 4 children...It wasn't easy, but when you have to put food on the table you find a way. I trust God to take care of me and mine, but He tells us to prepare...Just like the ant, store up food for the winter, or Joseph, storing up grain. I have taught my kids to do the same.
Having spread the word, you owe them NOTHING more.
My Granny Mac told me,
"There comes a time when you have to stop crossing oceans for people that wouldn't step over a puddle for you."
Some people will NEVER get "it". Walk away. Just walk away, and take care of yourself. If they don't listen, it's _their choice!_
Remember the Ant and the Grasshopper? When the cold Winter came, the Ant reminded the Grasshopper...
"You may dance this Winter to the tune you played last Summer."
People ignored and ridiculed Noah too. 😉
I see you as the mom on TERMINATOR trying to prepare us for what is coming Thank you
LOL! That's a compliment for sure! Now-I need arms like that!
Remember the Lord told us “don’t cast your pearls before swine.”
I needed this tonight. I have found myself getting so discouraged and even bitter and angry. It is time to keep on doing what I need to do for my family and go on. I have said my part. (and not just on prepping)
I agree with you. I feel the same way, getting angry and discouraged. Refocusing and grounding was needed! I find it so hard to accept in my mind that people just are not seeing it.
Me too and it spans everything from political, preparing, religion, etc. At this point if they hear the warning and refuse to understand, then it's on them when disaster strikes.
Same here! I'm taking a weekend to just have fun, then, back to work. Give yourself some grace❤
Excellent video! You're hitting the nail on the head. You can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink.
You can feel something is going to happen. God is preparing His people. God always sends me a Dove to get my attention.
I am too old to be a prepper. My whole family does not agree with me or listen, they think I am nuts even if I just try to stock a little. I have a few friends that are like-minded. It is sad. I can't worry about what is going to happen to me at this stage in life. What I do is follow Yahweh and lean on Him.
I used to try to convince people of things, but now I just do things for myself to be prepared for whatever comes. I figure those that I convinced. I convinced. Those that I didn't I probably never would.
Patara, I believe God sends us Healers in many forms, you my sister are one of those Healers. ❤️
I have been warning my family for many years. I give prepping items as gifts and still only one has started to do some prepping. They all drive new cars, go on vacation, have nails done etc. I am tired of worrying about them. I have given them over to God. IF "He" should send them to me, then he will have to multiply what we have. Every shelf, closet, cabinet etc that I own is full and I keep it all topped off. I don't have room for one more bucket!
Amen.
"The more the world grows evil and moves away from God, the more the Light of Jesus Christ shines and the beauty of the Gospel of peace and salvation grows brighter each day..."
Me 📖🙏🇺🇸
We are living in Critical Times and the evidence is all around us.
Sheeessshh! That last point resonated with me! “You may be the one that saves it all”! I’ve been telling family members and making sure they’re prepared but people don’t want to listen! Thanks for sharing!
I feel the urgency also!
I’m in tears listening to this beautiful message 😭
I’ve been learning to garden, can, make medicine from my new homestead, build a pantry, and practice survival skills all while begging with extended family and friends to prepare as well. I’m exhausted 😭😭😭
I REALLY needed to hear this message and know The Father and The Son led me to watch this video. Bless you babe and rave on; we got this and now is definitely a time to surrender over those who don’t have ears to hear and pray for them 🙏🏼♥️
They for the most part didn’t listen or understand the greatest man to ever walk, why would we expect everyone would listen or understand .
Obviously meant to be….
This video “just appeared”
Thank you!
I’m from New Zealand.
My whole family and circle of friends has chosen to get the vaxx.
I TRIED to tell them……
It’s like they are hypnotised/brainwashed 🤷♀️🤦♀️
I’m now ostracised, ridiculed and outcast.
It is very heavy on my heart, and I feel like I have failed.
I am a very “awake” and sensitive person… always have been!
And, have never been “understood”.
Your words (and eagle!) have been confirmation to that I must now do.
Going to check out your other videos now.
🙏❤️
Hard times crate strong people, strong people make good times, good times make weak people, weak people make hard times. We are in a foolish generation sadly. People need to wake up! It’s unbelievable that there are people who went through 2020 still won’t prepare. People think covid was the worst thing ever but people have no clue what true hard times are 🤨 I’m learning sewing right now to repair clothes or make things 🙂👍🏻
Yep! I'm already living primitive. It's hard to do at 60, disabled and solo, but the good Lord gets me through each day. It puts a person in total dependence of God ... learned a dropper level of what calling him Lord really entails.
I feel like A LOT of people stopped thinking and questioning after 9/11, it’s got worse since
Amen…. That was for me! I was spinning my wheels with family and getting all kinds of vileness back. It was dragging me into negativity. A Pastor friend just today met me and told me that I need to do things that made me happy and not worry about everybody else. He saw how my posts of FB were getting confrontational. We prayed and then I found this video when I came home. Never heard of this channel! God is good! I see signs too!
Ma'am, you speak wisdom beyond your years... Both my Mom and Dad were Depression Babies, and even though Dad had a great paying job, we still maintained the habits they learned. As a widower at 67 years old, I'm still canning, sewing, and other things in my wife's absence...!!! I am a lifelong "Prepper", by natural selection.
We are on different sides of the world, from very different backgrounds, but we share the same mindset. Blessings to you and yours from Jamaica! Planting seeds...both in the ground and in fertile minds. I just Love it when the animal kingdom concur
My Grandmother was born in 1921 and was a depression baby and taught me everything I know and some things I forgot. I watch your channel and a couple others to “refresh my memory” on getting back to my roots and following our path of self sustainability. I’m right there with you sister🥰
The sheep didn't believe Noah either, they laughed at him and mocked him until the rains came and swept them all away. Sweetheart you are in good company. Stay the course.
I'm amazed at how FEW people really DO understand. That being said, we're going to find out pretty soon that the best lifestyle for men and women was how the majority of people out in the country lived around the turn of the 20th century, with just enough technology to make our lives easier, but not so much to be a distraction.
Finally got a house and just harvested my first crop from my garden and discovered the joy of canning. All you can do is prepare now. The die have been cast. good luck and God bless.
I needed this. I just came to this conclusion recently. Friends and extended family are not listening so I closed my mouth and continued on with my journey (wink). I keep thinking of the ten virgins with their oil lamps. Five were unprepared and missed out on something wonderful. But five were prepared. Be prepared.
I don't know how people can't see what's happening. I'm with you. In the last few days I've been telling myself to just knock the dust off of my sandals and move on. That's hard to do.
I have saved the bones from every piece of meat we eat for years. Special bonus is the ham bone and turkey carcass. They are the base for amazing soups and stews. I learned this from my Mom and Grandma. Grandma raised a family during the depression. I keep even a smidgen of leftover vegetables, either freeze them for soup or chop them up to go into eggs. We have the financial means to not have to save every little thing but I just can't toss out perfectly good food.
Grandma knew right....her soup with bones is now what is known as bone broth.😊
I used to treat the elderly and I used to ask them what the Depression was like. Each was very different based on where they lived ( coastal vs central USA) and their economic status (rich or poor).
To sum it up the coastal poor were far better off than all others. They didnt really feel pain of losing jobs bc they worked their land and had option of fishing and hunting with the whole family in agreement.
Today all this is lost so do whats best for you and pray.
Remember only a remnant will be saved.
My parents were born in 1908 and 1909 on farms in Georgia. They were married in 1933 during the Depression and I was born in 1949. I learned to bake, to sew, knit, and cook not only on the stove but over an open fire. I have use those skills my whole life and passed them on when I can to my children and grandchildren. I can only hope they have listened along the way.
My mom was a depression child and she taught me how to can, how to save food, how to repurpose many items.
Bless her heart, she saved string, paper bags, plastic bags, cardboard boxes, literally everything and threw nothing away. But I learned from her how to cook, clean, save food, and as she said many a time "put food by". Many people think that grocery stores and Walmart will always be available or even worse, that they will always have the money to buy things. Sadly, that is not the case for most people..SS is not very much to live on and if you don't know how to save and put food by..you will be in real trouble.
Can you give us some tips from some of the things your grandmother did to be better or stretch meals? (For those of us without grandmothers) You are so open and honest. Keep it up!
Will do!!
@@appalachiashomesteadwithpatara yes, this would be wonderful for those who have not had the amazing examples you have had. You are changing lives…thank you
I have been doing this a very long time. I NEVER have "scraps." I eat my meal and put some in a container for the next day and FREEZE the rest. NO WASTE. Everything is consumed. It really saves on time and money.
Your wise words are ones I need to hear, and remember.
I keep drifting into trying to 'help' people see what's really going on.
Bottom line is that most of them don't care, are too afraid to look, or they get pissed at me when I try nudge them toward the 'red pill'.
The fact that I can't reach them frustrates and depresses me.
Consequently I become last on the list of those who need my help - no energy is left for me.
Thanks for the reminder.
Those with ears to hear have heard the drums of war in the distance. The call is “prepare the way” and “lay the foundations.” We know how it ends and we know what has to happen first.
I came to this same conclusion about 2 weeks ago. I was making myself sick warning family members. These people are adults! I love them, but, I did my part. I continue praying that God will open their eyes and minds to reality. You can't live in a perpetual "happy bubble". I am now 60 and remember how I grew up. I was blessed to be raised by parents that practiced lean living because we had little money. They learned from their parents. You have to be resourceful to survive. Bless you for this video.
I don't understand how anyone could give this a "thumbs down". This is sound, sage advice. New subscriber, here.
I don't have any family members that did this stuff that I can pick their brain... I'm having to learn this stuff from scratch on the fly so thank you for these types of videos!
I have hawks fly over my house quite often. I have learned so much from you and your videos. Thank you. I am keeping up with Old Alabama Gardener. He is such a treasure. I've written down a bunch of his recipes and hints. I keep books with recipes, hints, tips, and all. I love to go through them often. I have your biscuit recipe and others there. I'm learning the things to help in a crisis and to be able to help others. Have a great evening. God bless💕
This message was definitely for me. I really needed it, feeling sad and frustrated that close friends are not taking preparedness seriously.
You're so right on. I spent most of 2020 trying to help those around me see what was really going on. We also moved out to a homestead last July. In January, after working full-time, getting a homestead started *and* trying to convince everyone of what I was seeing, I stopped. I still work, I still focus on the homesteading. But I'm no longer trying to wake people up. God showed me it's time to build and ark, so that's what we're doing. It's slow going, but one or two dinners a week now are completely from our land. The time to talk is over. It's time to do.
"With all thy getting, get wisdom." Ma'am, you have spoken some very wise words. Thank you. And bless you.
You are right on the money! The almighty dollar is running most people, but having skills like you do is more valuable than money. I am a breast cancer survivor and I just don't have the physical capability or property to grow huge crops, but I have farms all around and can buy bushels of beans or peaches and can them up. I have lots of skills I learned from my grandparents that grew up in the depression. I have a manual typewriter, sewing skills, and am trying to buy up non-electric kitchen tools and other tools for home use. I am prepared for the lights to go out. Plus I figure I can barter my skills that people need. I love the idea of a series of videos.
Thank you Patera! I am no longer preaching to the choir either. Focusing on pantry and home. Debt free and staying that way.
Thank you! I have a burden on my heart to bring others to Christ, and to help people. I've been screaming from the roof tops and it seems the louder I ring the warning bell the less people listen. I am housebound with a brain wasting disease... I have no physical ability to help at all. I will remember to continue to sew the seeds of truth and rely on prayer to let Jesus take it from there. God bless you.
1ST Thessaloninians 5:21-22
"But test everything; hold fast what is good. Abstain from every form of evil."
Thats why I started watching your channel was because I was prepping...can't stop the scriptures from being fulfilled! We really don't know how bad its going to get...but I do believe it's going to get real bad quickly...stocking up for my family
Glad that YT suggested this video! I feel the same way. The time to convince people is over. Thank you for reminding me to focus on my family and preparing ourselves for the times ahead. Blessings to you and all folks here 💖💖
“Speak again, thou sweet lips that never told a lie.” Sadly many will not heed your powerful and truthful words. However, maybe the seeds you have planted will take root and grow, hopefully before it’s to late. I’m prepping my brains out as efficiently as I can. God bless you Patara, , stay safe and stay well. You are one of His own and teaching us , helping us to do and be better.
“You can’t prepare enough”. That has burned it in my brain.
Oh how I know! All, and I mean all of my family and friends look at us sideways. We bought property in Tazwell last year as a place of refuge for my family. We are finally moving from the city in VA next spring. We have watched the change from 2007 and now is the time to go. It's very bittersweet. They know why we're going and secretly are thankful but tell the grands that it's just crazy granny's farm. At least there will be security.
I don’t know you. I just found you. I love you already. Fantastic message!
And...
A hawk soaring in the air is an act of worship to its Creator. Our soul worships with that bird when we stop to appreciate it. God bless you!
I needed to hear this. It brings peace to my heart thinking about all of the arguements that go no where I will be avoiding. Prayer is always best. Thank you.
I just found you in my feed, what a Blessing! You just confirmed so much for me. This is a message full of truths, thank you❤️
You are spot on girl. Keep on talking..
Always!
Living here in the northern adirondacks, I realized that preparedness is built on experience. Adapting is survival.
This is exactly what I’m going through with family and friends. It has really stressed me out. I needed this video. THANK YOU. ❤️✝️🙏
It's what our elders called "common sense". My grandmother died in 1999 aged 92, yet she never knew what hot running water was, never had an electric or gas over, hers was a wood fired oven. No flushing toilet, theirs was a hole in the ground out the back the property in northern Greece. Never ate anything from a packet, grew her own vegetables, fruit, had her own goats, chickens and pigs, bartered their animal meat for fresh milk and cheese from the villagers. Everyone had a plot of land which they grew their own vegetables and fruits. No one paid for stuff. It was a barter system. I gave her a packet of chips when I visited in 1988 , it was the first time she had anything processed and the last time. That was simple, honest living. She lacked nothing. Everything was ENOUGH and she was deeply grateful for it all too. By the way she worked right up until she died. Generalising here but she most likely worked 85 years of her life without a break.
Wow. I was just talking with hubby about this. We have tried talking with our grand daughter about these concerns and it's in one ear out the other. Can't wait to sell my house in PA .and move to our farm in TN. God Bless.
I had the same thought, start working on stretching out meals. I'm quite overweight, so I want to make it a gradual thing so my body gets used to it without freaking out. It's me and God over here, everyone else is not on board on this with me, even my spouse which is a shame but seems to be a common theme (until they have "proof" with their own eyes of course). Trying not to be bitter about that but it's hard not to get mad at feeling abandoned on something so important.
The struggle with "other people" who don't know is THEY bring those of us that DO know DOWN with them.
Thank you for this message!! I have been struggling so much and needed to hear this!! ❤️
I sit on my porch every morning and drink my coffee and watch the hawks ♥️from Chickamauga 🌻🌻🌻 I will be 75 in August ❣
What you said at 12:40 😂👍👍👍👍THIS is the HEART MESSAGE for all this here. Excellent.👍👍👍👍.
You always tell everyone what God is telling you - to share and prepare, and thanks for sharing!
Just stumbled across this video and I’m so glad I did..I really needed to hear this. The heaviness I have on my heart for my family and friends is overwhelming sometimes because they just don’t have any discernment, and I feel a bit more free knowing that it really is ok to at some point just let go and let God do his thing.
Hi from KY Appalachia. This message was spot on. If we feel an ill wind kicking up - we need to adjust our sails. If the storm passes, we can re-adjust. Likewise, if we are battened down when the storm rages, we are more likely to come out on the other side. It is a personal choice, not all will understand. Lead by example. Hugs to you.
Thank you for this message..It is past time of waking up others who are ignorant to the obvious..
This is going to be whatever God has for us..🙏🇺🇲🙏🇺🇲🙏🇺🇲🙏
Hello from Texas (again). Thank you for this message. It's hard but there comes a time when the road forks and some of the people we love don't continue with us in our journey. It's ok to focus on ourselves and our path. Along with your focus on physical health please focus on your mental health as well. Work to maintain your peace within no matter your circumstances. Blessings to you my friend from Texas.
That was a good video.
I've been prepping as a homesteader in a rural area for several years. I have been seriously prepping since 2021. I felt I had enough but your video reminded me how
"The Great Depression"
lasted more than ten years so I decided to extend our supplies and also add a few new items. Thanks🤠🤠
Questioning everything is good and all but we also need to except truthful answers. People question things all the time but only want to hear what they want. Truth is always truth like it or not.
Thank you for reminding me of these truths. God is the only one who can truly convict others of their ignorant ways. It is not my responsibility to change others minds, but it is my responsibility to focus on my children and husband and myself. Focusing on what God would have us learn and grow in.
It's as if God spoke through you directly to me.
I just found you for the first time today. I am so grateful. I am suffering right now, I am surrounded by people that don't think for themselves and do NOT understand how I think. It's so lonely. I was born in the 70's and I long for the 50's. The current state of this world is too disturbing. You are so right, I am trying to stay focused on making my space the place that makes me happy, all the time. I needed to hear your message today, thank you.
