Letter from LDL.net Reader - Preparation and Outlook

We have lost some members of our group because of their love of this World system. Yet several remain steadfast and determined to leave all behind to follow the Ruach Ha Kodesh wherever He leads.

We have been busy selling property and possessions, and reducing our worldly obligations. Father has been teaching us for the past few months about several necessary life skills, growing organic crops, building sandbag houses, Solar cooking and electric, wind power, distilling water and fuel for heating, cooking, lighting and transportation. Our desire is to live without the worlds services as much as possible so that we are not dependent upon them, but rather on our Heavenly Fathers provision and blessings.

We had plans of starting a community in Mexico, but our hearts long for His promised land. Since several of our members are from Hispanic decent we have our sights on the Negev, especially in the light of Obadiah 20 and the terrain, climate and environment is very much like Yuma. Father's will be done. We will be happy, thrilled and ecstatic when we find someplace to put our roots down.

When people ask, "Do you want to go to Israel?" I often respond by saying, "Not if I have to leave." We are not going as tourists, vacationers or sightseers. We are going with one way tickets. We realize that actually living in Israel is perhaps not possible, but living anywhere nearby Aqaba, Jordon may be the closest we can be at this time. But we do want to be wise and count the cost.

Messiah said, "Whoever does not carry his own cross and come after Me cannot be My disciple. For which one of you, when he wants to build a tower, does not first sit down and calculate the cost to see if he has enough to complete it? Otherwise, when he has laid a foundation and is not able to finish, all who observe it begin to ridicule him, saying, 'This man began to build and was not able to finish.' Luke 14:27-30

We are attempting to make some contacts in the region and would appreciate any assistance you can offer. It would be helpful to be in contact with other believers who are self-sufficient, organic farmers who would like a small group to be a blessing to. We have taken your advice and have begun to study the modern countries of Israel and Jordon. If you would put us in contact with the Messianic community in the area of Jordan and /or Israel we would appreciate it very much.
I have a question regarding your references of Ezekiel 38-39. Are you of the understanding that the incident concerning Gog and Magog happens at this time and not at the end of the thousand years? Revelation 20:7, 8 When the thousand years are completed, Satan will be released from his prison, and will come out to deceive the nations which are in the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together for the war; the number of them is like the sand of the seashore.

Many blessings to you and all those who help and bless you in your affairs.

Yuma, Arizona
