A Believer's Guide to Disaster Preparedness

 

Personal Information for ALL Family Members

I know many of you are aware of the press of the Father on my heart that we, the Body of Christ, need to be prepared in our hearts by faith and our homes, our congregations, and our marketplaces by practical measures in case we are confronted by disaster/calamity.

Many things could happen that would drastically affect us; destructive weather, widespread disease or pandemic, an EMP [Electro Magnetic Pulse], famine or major food shortages, terrorist strike, Martial Law.  Many have already been grievously confronted by job losses or house foreclosures due to severe economic changes across our nation.  David and I have friends who have lost their homes, strong believers, Spirit-filled Christians … “it rains on the just and the unjust”. In the midst of it we must continue to keep a single eye on the Lord, not turning our heads to the left or the right.  In the midst of allowing hard things to come our way the Lord will NEVER fail nor forsake His people.

The Father reminds me consistently that we need to be rooted and grounded in His Word.  We need to hide it in our hearts so as not to sin against Him or faint in challenging moments.  The Battle Axe Brigade has put together a few “I Believe” statements that we use to daily affirm what we believe. These can be found on our website and are free for the taking.  I hope you will avail yourself of them and even add to them.    http://www.battleaxe.org/Affirming%20My%20Faith.html

My particular reason for sharing this with you is a provision that I believe will serve many of us.  In our nation we are a people of “numbers”.  We have a Social Security number, bank account numbers, drivers license number, credit card numbers, mortgage/loan numbers, insurance policy information as well as having passwords to most of our accounts, and the list goes on.

Two years ago there was a major tornado hit Greensboro, KS.  It took women’s purses, men’s slacks and the wallets that were in their slacks… it took home and business filling cabinets, bank records, hospital microfilm, it deplete the city of its records.

“The worse of the devastation came with one tornado, an EF5, which is scaled at catastrophic. The town that was targeted, Greensboro, Kansas in Kiowa County Kansas. 95% of Greensboro, KS was flattened by this tornado. The length of the path reached 22 miles and the width of the tornado rose to 1.7 miles.”    http://www.tv3winchester.com/blogs/laurynrickettsblog/12994887.html
                                                                                                                                                                                           Think also of the flooding, and the earthquakes to name a couple that our country is currently experiencing.   These events can take everything we own.         

I would like to encourage you to make a list of all your numbers; below is a list of suggestions to get you started.    In doing so you will quickly be able to begin the process of regrouping and even able to identify yourself in needed.

I come across so many Christians who do not believe our nation is being or will be judged by the Lord. Israel [the apple of the Lord’s eye] was judged by the Lord and taken captive by her enemies on many occasions.  Her God never forsook her but He did allow her to pay a price for her sins.  Will He change His standard for us?  I for one don’t believe so.  

Just consider two sins that the Father must judge in order to be “no respecter of persons” or “the Lord God that changeth not” ~ idolatry and murder

- Where possible make a photo static copy of these documents and include them in your packet.  Also include a current photo for each family member.  Include fingerprints for each family member…simply use an ink pad and unlined paper.

It is best to make (3) packets and send two to family or friends in two different regions of the country.  Mail them to people who you know will keep them unopened and safe for you.  Pack the third packet in your evacuation bags or someplace you can grab them quickly if needed.
