IT'S CRASHING!   DO 2230  9/86
--Are You Ready?--Here Are Some SURVIVAL TIPS!

         1. (MARIA: AS FAR AS OUR FAMILY IN THE REST OF THE WORLD, IF ANYBODY HAPPENS TO HAVE MONEY IN THE BANKS, IS THERE DANGER OF THEM CLOSING IMMEDIATELY?) There's already been danger of that, banks have already been closing all over the World! There have been some of the biggest bank failures in history in almost every country in the World! So they should have gotten their money out of the bank before this, or they've already lost it! And if they haven't already lost it by now, they'd better get it out or they're GONNA lose it, because there'll be MORE banks closing!
         2. SO THE BEST THING OUR FAMILY CAN DO IS MAKE SURE THEY DON'T LOSE WHAT LITTLE FUNDS OR RESERVES THAT THEY HAVE, especially to the banks or any kind of investments. Try to have some cash & gold or some form of commodity they can trade or something on hand so they can at least have a little money to buy FOOD, & hopefully have their RENT PAID UP in advance so they don't have to worry about that. Thank God, in many of the countries where the Family are living they make you pay your rent one or two years in advance. So a lot of our people will have their rent paid, thank God, & they will simply need money for food.
         3. BUT THE LORD HAS PROMISED TO TAKE CARE OF HIS OWN, & as the Lord has shown us & we've even seen in dreams & whatnot, the poor that we have helped & the people that we have helped & won & have made friends of, we will then be cared for by them! (Maria: But if these friends aren't little farmers out in the fields in the boonies, THEY'RE going to have the same problem, aren't they?) If they have been wise & they had savings & some kind of money tucked away in a sock under their mattress or something, they might have enough tucked away, if it's not in a bank that closed, that they could survive for the duration. If they were WISE ...& we're supposed to be advising those people to do that kind of thing!--To get their money OUT of the banks & tuck it away somewhere, hide it, because it's going to be worth more & more!
         4. BUT IN A WAY THE POOR WILL BE BETTER OFF THAN THE RICH! Because the poor of the poorer cultures & countries of the World, the Third World, etc., are already mostly living on the land, already feeding themselves, as well as others! TTL! So one of the best assets you can have in a case like that is friends & relatives who have at least something to EAT & can share with you.
         5. BUT THE LORD TAKES CARE OF HIS OWN, AMEN? He never fails & the Lord will always take care of us somehow. Of course, those who have saved up even a little bit of money, a little bit of gold or something, a little fund to tide'm over, are going to survive a little bit better than the people that didn't.
         6. WE DON'T HAVE ALL THE ANSWERS FOR ALL THOSE PROBLEMS OF THE FUTURE, & WE DON'T HAVE TO KNOW'M YET! "Fret not thyself for tomorrow, sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof!"--Mat.6:34. I'm just saying that if they have a little bit of reserve funds, they will be in a better position to survive for a few months of the worst or whatever it is until some kind of salvation comes along, even the Antichrist System. If they've done what we told them to do, they should be able to survive for awhile. When it comes to the point where they've got to walk out into the country to try to make friends with the farmers & get something to eat, I'm sure all those little children will touch the hearts even of the farmers! PTL!
         7. WE DON'T WANT TO WORRY OR NEED TO WORRY TOO MUCH ABOUT IT, BECAUSE WHEN THE TIME COMES THE LORD WILL SOLVE IT! But I think we should try to prepare as much as we can for what we KNOW is coming. (Maria: Even if they have survival food, that will keep them going for awhile.)--Right! But that's what we know is coming, because that's the way it has happened before & that's the way it's happening now!
         8. EACH ONE JUST NEEDS TO HAVE WHATEVER THEY CAN ON HAND AS BEST THEY CAN, AS MUCH AS THEY CAN, in both food & necessities & hopefully a little bit of cash reserves, gold reserves or whatever. It's going to be worth a LOT when the Crash comes & the bottom falls out of the prices, etc., so that everything gets cheaper. What little they have is going to be worth a lot more & they'll be able to survive on it for awhile at least, Lord willing, & I'm sure the Lord is willing! So we don't need to worry too much about it.
         9. (MARIA: BUT IF THEY HAD TO USE THEIR RESERVE FOR DESPERATE NEEDS SUCH AS HELPING OTHER FAMILY MEMBERS GET TO THE FIELD, FOR EXAMPLE.--I'm sure that because they've been unselfish & given to others that even though they don't have a reserve of gold or whatever, the Lord is going to keep them!) Honey, they've got Bible promises in the Word of God to hang on to! "He that considereth the POOR in his affliction, shall the Lord take care of in HIS time of need!" I've forgotten just exactly how the verse goes, but that's the idea! (Psalm 41:1) If YOU'VE helped others, you're going to reap what you sowed!--Gal.6:7. THEY'RE going to help you or the LORD'S going to help you in time of need, so don't worry!
         10. JUST TRY TO BE WISE, STAY OUT OF DEBT, DON'T BORROW MONEY, try to save a little bit to tide you over if you can, & if not, save a lot of good will & a lot of blessings from the Lord! Okay? PTL!--And the Lord will see you through! Amen!
         11. P.S. BY THE WAY, MAYBE THAT'S WHEN WE'LL START EVANGELISING THE FARMERS! I'm SURE they'll be HAPPY to trade you a bit of FOOD for those gorgeous POSTERS, even if they haven't got TAPE players! You can walk from farm to farm as a FAMILY, kids & all, & barter POSTERS for FOOD--& SHELTER TOO!--They could put you up in the BARN at least, as you walk through their area.
         12. SO HANG ON TO YOUR SLEEPING BAGS & CAMPING EQUIPMENT & BACKPACKS! You'll NEED'M! BIKES & PUSHCARTS will be handy too!--And I mean PEDAL bikes, NOT MOTOR bikes!--There'll be NO GASOLINE, or you won't be able to afford to BUY it with NO MONEY! Just count on your FEET, & FOOT-driven vehicles!--Unless you're blessed enough to own a HORSE! Then you could have a little WAGON to HAUL EVERYTHING & FAMILY!
         13. ISN'T THAT BEAUTIFUL!--JUST LIKE THE MILLENNIUM!--Just be sure it's a COVERED wagon! Hallelujah! TYJ! Won't that be FUN! GBY! ILY! Remember: NOW'S the time to get READY!--TOMORROW will be TOO LATE! Everybody ELSE will be wanting'm TOO!--And be sure you've got a good stock of SURVIVAL POSTERS!--You'll NEED'M! That's your STOCK in TRADE! Be READY to be GOSPEL GYPSIES!--Amen?--Amen!--TYJ!--GBAKY!--IJNA!--ILY!--D.--ARE YOU READY?
