The Prepper Broadcasting Network - A Morning Testament

Episode Date: October 13, 2024

Praise God!

You're no PBM family, on this Sunday morning here in Pennsylvania, I'm looking at that kind of a sunrise, that moment in the sunrise where the trees are still black and the sky is, you know is just starting to take on light. I'm watching this track. I'm watching the planes fly from Philly International. Over my head, the same track they took my whole life growing up here. And the fire's burning. perfect right now coffee you know and i've been sitting here you know probably for about almost two hours

playing with the fire making coffee watching the sunrise Making coffee Watching the sun rise And thinking about And I don't know if this has been your experience or not One of those planes is going overhead Now you can hear it I don't know if this has been your experience with God But for me

He's been calling out to me for a very long time. Some people, they spend their whole, this is the weird thing about it. Some people seem to spend their whole life chasing him down. You know what I mean. I don't understand. This part of it. But some people seem to spend their whole life. Chasing him down. And.

I spent a big chunk of mine. Running away. Turning away from him. And every so often. His. Presence would be so apparent that it would be fundamentally undeniable. Undeniable. He gives you things you never see coming. He puts situations before you that can only be his hand. But suffice it to say, you know, you ever know anybody in life who's given you so much, you just, you have to praise them. Like they won you over. Fair and square.

They won you over. I look at my life and that's the way I feel about it. And it's a weird feeling. It's not always a good feeling. You know, a lot of the blessings are earned, sure. But some of them are just right out of, you know, they come raining down on you for no good reason. I could tell you, you know, I could tell you a bunch of stories, a bunch of instances where God reached out to me and it was breathtaking and awe-inspiring and so on, but I don't think that's what this little short testament is going to be all about, right?

I don't think that's what I want it to be about. My family's in the house and they're all wrapped up in pillows and blankets and dogs. Lots of my family's in there. And there's something about this whole journey, man. You get to a point in life where. What else is there to do? And I don't mean in terms of responsibility. Or you know. Things to do. But I mean what else is there to do. But praise God for everything.

That you've been given. The opportunities you've been given. The opportunities you've been. that you've squandered. I see opportunity in all of it, you know. I felt compelled to come on this morning, which is kind of rare, specifically this early. But sometimes the stars align, you know. Sometimes the clouds are just so. The sunrise is just so.

The fire is just so. The coffee, which I'm almost out of. It's all just right on the money. I do this thing where I... I do this thing where I, uh, go over every strand of the last 13, 15, 20 years of my life and try to figure out what could I have done better and, uh, what should I do better going forward, you know? and what should I do better going forward, you know. And in doing so, man, you can absolutely destroy a beautiful moment like the one I'm having right now.

All of this sort of analyzing, you got to be real careful. You got to be real careful because you wind up missing out on what's happening right before you I don't know if it's I don't know if it's God that gave me all that focus or not I really don't know but I can tell you particularly if you have young children particularly if you have young children, particularly if you have,

see, particularly if you're living a moment in your life that is somewhat challenging and rewarding, like, take a few, take about six deep breaths, because that lowers your blood pressure immediately, lowers your anxiety immediately, because that lowers your blood pressure immediately, lowers your anxiety immediately. So you're six deep breaths. And then take in what's happening all around you. Take it in. Understand, like look around, you know, look at the way that the fire is crackling in the pit.

Look at the weeds and the vines that are growing up the fence. Understand that you're sitting in this position in your life for a reason. Look at the ants or the bugs crawling on the ground, the birds flying in the sky. And, you know know most importantly of all No matter how breathtaking the landscape is that lies before you or not This is your short dance in the sun before God calls you home I talk about this all the time. Because like preparedness, you know, it's one of those things that if it gets its hooks in, just one person,

then the effect it can have is just mind-altering and life-altering. In other words, if we do 15 shows here on PBN, and the message resonates with one person and hooks one new person into prepping, and then that one new person gets walloped by Mother Nature, then all of a sudden it makes a huge difference. You know what I mean? So give honor to God, PBN family, this Sunday morning. It's a wonderful life, man.

It's everything that you make it. So enjoy it. I'll talk to you soon.
