Preparing for tribulation is no small thing. It will consume every day, all day long. This blog and its predecessors stand on the necessity of preparing for the coming apocalypse -- "unto the shedding of blood". What we have faced so far is relatively light compared to what's coming.
I pray constantly for guidance in this. We could debate whether I hear accurately, but the bigger question is whether any of it is useful for you. The proposition of this blog is that I share my convictions in case anyone else finds them useful. If not, it's easy to ignore me.
It works the same way when you seek God's will in the face of a horde of authority figures seeking to control, or at least persuade, you and your choices. And even if you manage to wade through all of that, you still end up with forced compromises for whatever you cannot do for yourself. If we did everything from scratch, we would do darned little of it, and still have time for nothing else. You must search your convictions and decide what matters enough to take action and what you will trust God to provide through other hands.
Thus, for some issues, you'll take what you can get and trust God for the balance. Our Lord never fails to provide; the issue is that we may not see what He has provided. But we cannot afford to do nothing while waiting for perfection to be revealed.
Here's just a few of the choices I've made in preparing for apocalypse:
1. The biggest source of COVID and seasonal plagues is your stomach. While I don't buy into every detail of what Wayne Lusvardi suggests, I can recommend you take a look at this article in which he outlines a model that seems to me a better account of such things. He makes the following points:
2. Don't fear the centralization plans of globalists and their kind. Do take action to limit their grasp on your life, because your life is your witness.
The point is that they will fail, but not before they have pushed hard and make some limited progress. An example of their plotting is outlined in this video (YouTube) regarding plans to identify, control and restrict your economic activities as the means to keeping you in line politically. They will make progress toward this goal, but prophetically we know they will ultimately fail.
3. Toward this end, think about how you interact with the Net.
It is my sense that the Lord wants me to avoid generally computer technology on this blog, but it should be no secret that I prefer Open Source for one primary reason: control over my use of the Internet. Over the years, it has reduced what the hidden indexing services know about me. They know I exist, but they have a very poor idea of my professional background, income, my connections (family, associates, etc.) and my interests. They don't even know where I live, in the sense that they cannot connect the various aspects of my identity into a single package.
I can't avoid using a cellphone and computers in my ministry, but I can choose to make myself hard to track. If you run Windows, you are being tracked in extravagant detail. If you use Mac, a little less so. If you run Open Source, you have choices to reduce tracking considerably, but it's quite a field of study. Most of the time, the defaults are better by far than the commercial operating systems and software. It's no secret that I prefer Linux.
Again, you must choose for yourself. It's more important that you choose than what you choose for any of these above.

Watching that linked video now. Never heard of the tokenization scheme before. Sounds off-the-charts ridiculous, but that should be expected with these people.
