We go to church every Sunday to hear something new every time,
not remembering what was said the Sunday before.
As most of you know we don’t work that way here, we don’t need something new every week nor everyday
it is more important that we learn what we are taught,
if you can hear something one time and have it learned then why did you have to take so much time to learn things in school????
And then still get things wrong when it came to test time.
It is well worth the time to go over what you have heard and listen to each word.
Take it in and allow the time needed to make it a part of your life.
It is sad that by many, much of the bible can be resighted from member but not applied to real life.
Being able to live out the word of GOD is much more rewarding then just restating a verse.
Please take the time to listen to or relisten to the clip below.
ill be back in a couple days
Here at Hodgepenny’s we take the time to allow the words of Father God, Lord Jesus and the Holy Spirit to attach to our lives so we can live them out.
What use is a library full of books if all you do is read them and put them back on the shelf to only collect dust?
We fell it is better to as if it were, to eat the book; to spend the time in each section of the book to the point that the book becomes a physical part of our being, so that our life’s shin forth the book and the one who wrote and is the substance of the book.
And the book we have chosen is the Bible the word of GOD.
The one who holds us in the palm of His hand.
The one who will never leave us nor forsake us.
The one who will be with us even unto death.
The one who direct our path, who says go to the right, go to the left, stop, go forward.
Started reading Job, very eye opening, when i’m back, will share with you what the Holy Spirit has been sharing with me.
Remember to seek God’s Kingdome and His righteousness, this is to be done moment by moment every day,
not just once or twice a week.
Put Christ first and have a blessed day
Out for now

where does your church leaderships stand?
Where do you stand?
Is this what your church is saying?
It is time to stop playing church!
It is time to stand for what is right!
It is time to take action!
If you call your self a Christian then you better start living like one.
Stop playing with the world and its ways, we are to occupy till Christ comes,
We are to make a difference, we are the salt of the earth, we are the light set on the hill, we are the audible voice of the Holy Spirit and the Lord Jesus.
We are not to be in beaded in the things of this earth, worldly ways, nor stuff and things.
We are to live a simple life dependent on Christ Jesus, not money, entertainment, position, fame none of the worldly distractions.
Our sight is to be set on Christ Jesus and keeping His commandments.
As the church the bride of Christ, are we spending our time promoting the world and its ways?
Or Christ Jesus.
Sorry; but i am disgusting by most of what i see coming from most church pulpits and the life style lived out by the church leadership and attendees now days,
Sunday and Wednesday the body sets and hears the word of GOD but Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday it is all about self and the world.
What sports game, what activity, what movie, what I did, what I have done in the past, what I said, how great and wonderful I am.
So caught up in the world and it's ways that Jesus is set on the back wall and forgotten most of the time.
O we pray for our meals, especially when in public,
“Oh Lord bless me”
But totally forget we are to bless Him.
We are to seek His Kingdome and His righteousness.
But most church leaders live a life that says “I will seek my Kingdome, and not live to much righteously, or I might not be excepted by men, those in the world.”
John 12:42-43
Nevertheless, many even of the rulers believed in Him, but because of the Pharisees they were not confessing Him, for fear that they would be put out of the Church;
“for they loved the approval of men rather than the approval of God”.
If i find that attitude in the Church disgusting i can’t imagen how it makes GOD feel.
My life is not perfect we are all sinners, and fall short of the righteousness of Christ.
i am well awear of this so i set out each day to grow further in to His righteousness, and try to stay out of foolish conversations.
And to obey the teaching of the Holy Spirit who dwells in me.
1Corinthians 13:11
When I was a child, I used to speak like a child, think like a child, reason like a child; when I became a man, I did away with childish things.
Matthew 7:21-24
“Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven will enter.
Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many miracles?’
And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you;
DEPART FROM ME, YOU WHO PRACTICE LAWLESSNESS.’
Therefore, everyone who hears these words of Mine and acts on them, may be compared to a wise man who built his house on the rock.
Listen to this and take to heart what the Lord is telling you.
Where will you stand?
Listen to this then ask your self where you are standing.

Are you prepared?
The Ant.
Proverbs 6:6-11
¶ Go to the ant, O sluggard,
Observe her ways and be wise,
Which, having no chief, Officer or ruler,
Prepares her food in the summer
And gathers her provision in the harvest.
How long will you lie down, O sluggard?
When will you arise from your sleep?
“A little sleep, a little slumber, A little folding of the hands to rest”
Your poverty will come in like a vagabond
And your need like an armed man.
This may seem like a strange verse to bring up when talking of survival.
But think about it.
We are told to take note of the Ant and how it lives and works, to survive.
Through the summer it gathers, so that through the winter it can survive.
And that is what we are discussing.
Or what most people will describe when talking about surviving,
The word of God does not talk about surviving the things to come but rather it speaks of the fact that as believers,
followers of Christ we have already been put on the survivors list,
if you have truly asked our Lord Christ Jesus to be your Lord, and have surendered all to follow Him and His comandments (seeking first His kingdom and rightesness), then your name is written in the book of life.
Revelation 3:5
‘He who overcomes will thus be clothed in white garments; and I will not erase his name from the book of life, and I will confess his name before My Father and before His angels.”
Revelation 20:15
“And if anyone’s name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire.”
If you read through the Bible, you will find we are to live our lives out for Christ so others can see His love and care for them, we are the light of this world so that they may see the Lord and the Holy Spirit can draw them to Him.
This does not mean we are to set around and do nothing but smile, nor are we to set around trying to figure out how to make it through each day, each war, each disappointment nor each calamity that might take place around us.
But we are to be prepared, just as the ant’s prepare for the winter.
So here are a few ways you can prepare for what is to come, it is not that you put your faith in these things, but that you do your part to be prepared.
Just as it is up to you to do your part in excepting Christ; when He stood at the door of your heart, you had to answer the door, that was your part.
To accept Him as your lord and savior, that was your part. Just as the Ant collects food in the summer for the winter, is its part. The Lord provides for the Ant but it is the Ant’s part to go pick it up and take it home.
So, here we go: But instead of calling this survival let call it being ready.
For if you are not ready you will not survive.
1. Make sure you are right with the Lord Jesus
2. Know who you are in Christ
3. Remember Mat 6:33 and on a daily basses seek first the kingdom of GOD and His righteousness, and all your needs will be added / provided you.
4. Learn from the Ant and do today what you can do to day, do not put it off till tomorrow. or wait for the government to provide it for you.
5. Be in the word of GOD to learn prophecy and pay attention to the things going on around you. And there are numerus vires that speak of that.
Here are a few things from the surviving survival book; In survival training
1. The only way to truly live without crippling anxiety and fears is to live a life immersed in the Lord Jesus and His Holy Spirit.
2. Rom 12:19 Never take your own revenge, beloved, but leave room for the wrath of God, for it is written, “VENGEANCE IS MINE, I WILL REPAY,” says the Lord.
3. Don’t get caught up in the worlds means of survival; stocking up on food and weapons. But rather live in God’s plan for survival; He sent His son to save us from hell.
Right here let’s talk about Loneliness and Boredom:
Man, always has been, but even more so now days is a social being.
This means we, as human beings, enjoy the company of others.
Very few people want to be alone all the time!
As you should be aware of, there is a distinct chance of isolation in a survival setting.
This is not bad.
Loneliness and boredom can bring to the surface qualities you thought only others had.
The extent of your imagination and creativity may surprise you.
When required to do so, you may discover some hidden talents and abilities.
Most of all, you may tap into a reservoir of inner strength and fortitude the Lord has given you that you never knew you had.
Conversely, loneliness and boredom can be another source of depression.
Surviving alone, or with others, you must find ways to keep your mind productively occupied.
You must develop your dependence on the Lord, trying to be self-sufficiency may sound good but if you are not grounded in and depending on the Lord you are missing out.
You must have some faith in your capability to go it alone, but remember the Lord is always with you and leads and guides you with a still small voice, depend on Him and lean on Him when you need help.
Don’t be afraid to ask Him for what you need.
Talk with Him and don’t forget to listen.
Ok back to the Ant.
If you watch an Ant that is all alone it will seem to have a purpose that is because it does.
Like a deer or any other wild animal, it may not go in a straight line to get to where it wants to go but it does have a purpose.
It will seek out food for the colony by going in all different directions, but once it finds a sour of food it will head directly back to the colony to let others know where and what it has found, and then you can see a line of ants going and coming, and that line can be verry straight at times.
Because they do have a purpose, and that purpose is to survive winter.
God provides for them but they have to seek it out and transport it back to the colony, they have to do their part.
Just as we are to do our part, for our survival.
God provides but we need to be active in receiving what He has provided.
Whether it be to grow a garden, to go pick and preserve, or purchase already preserved food.
Doing nothing will give you just that, nothing.
Those who clam the name Christian should understand this.
Jesus stands at the door and knocks, holding the free gift of salvation.
But you have to respond and open the door of your heart to receive.
He provides but you have to do your part by excepting.
No, your works do not save you, salvation is a gift from GOD, but you have to do your part,
Example;
let’s say some one offers you all the tomatoes in their garden because they have already preserved all they will need.
Should you expect them to give you what they have already preserved?
So that they have to go harvest and preserve what they will then need over aging?
By no means,
you would need to go pick, proses and preserver your own.
It has been provided but you need to do your part.
When i was growing up at home, every year we spent three months harvesting, processing and preserving food for the next year.
GOD provided and we got active, we worked heard, but we never went without.
we picked and processed;
Apples, apricots, blue berries, raspberries, black berries, strawberries, green beans, cucumbers, squash, peaches, pears, carrots, beets, pees, corn, cabbage,
Beyond canning thing whole, we made apple sauce, apple butter, apple jam and jelly.
out of Apricot, blue berries, raspberries, black berries, strawberries, cherries and plums we made sauce, jam and jelly
Out of Cucumbers we made pickles, and out of cabbage we made sourcrout.
We also canned meat; beef pork, venison and elk.
We went fishing every other weekend and canned fish.
We never went hungry, and only went to the store for paper goods, milk, cheese, suger and salt.
We grew, raised or went and picked everything ells.
In a survival situation, you will need to reduce the amount of food you eat, and you may not have a simple way to preserve for later, but it can be done,
God provides,
He has said He knows our needs before we even ask, and that He will provide our needs for us even as He does for the birds of the air, He will provide even as He dose for the Ant.
When you come upon an Ant does it look fearful of you? No.
i have never seen one stop what it was doing turn and run away, do you not think it can see you?
They are not blind.
No, they keep about their business and gather what God has provided.
God will provide, so do your part, stop relying on others to do it for you, Get off our ass-ets and consider the Ant.
Who is your GOD?
Who is your provider?
Is it GOD or the government?
Is it GOD or is it your local grocery store?
If you call yourself a Christian then pot your faith in Christ and step up to the plate, trust in Him and do you part.
Surviving can only be done by accepting Him and following His commandments.
Depending on Him for all your needs, when tings around you are falling apart, He is still in control, He is still God, listen to the Holy Spirit who is sent to you by GOD Himself.
Allow the Holy Spirit to teach you and direct your steps, by doing so you will be able to see the gifts of GOD that He has set before you.
Last comment:
Stop being so concerned about survival and start walking with Christ our Lord.
He knows what is going on around you,
He knows your needs now and to come.
Learn to hear the still small voice of the Holy Spirit, for if you learn to listen now you will hear Him when you are in tough times.
Man can take all earthly good from you, but GOD can and will still provide if you trust in Him.
Survival in not about having it is about trusting in the Lord and excepting His provision.
Mark 8:36
"For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world, and and foirfit his soul?
think about it.

Now down to surviving.
How to survive this world.
Hope you have taken the time to check out the links from the last posts, and to have dune some of your own research.
So, let’s move on.
What is the #1 answer to surviving?
What can be done to get out of the mess that has been made?
Bugging out, or staying in place?
What do you need to survive?
These are a few of the questions you need to consider with what is coming.
There is a small book out there somewhere from a book collection called “The Journy Home” It is book two of the collection called “Surviving till we get there”.
These things are going on, and there is more to come, and no it is not good,
but this is not to be feared if your heart is anchored in Christ Jesus the Lord.
The book points this out very clearly.
The things written the last few days have not been put here to scare you, but rather to open your eyes.
Fear and panic are your greatest enemies.
For they grow stress in your life. If fear and panic are uncontrolled, they grow stress, and stress can destroy your ability to make any intelligent decision, they may cause you to react to your feelings and imagination rather than to your situation, they drive your energy and by doing so cause other negative emotions.
What this shows about our lives is that our faith in GOD is very week. We are told to not fear, there are 365 times in God’s word we are told not to fear. But rather to put our trust and faith in our Lord Jesus who has paid the debt we could not pay.
Matthew 10:28
And do not fear those who kill the body, but are unable to soul: but rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in to hell.
Matthew 10:31-34
“So do not fear; you are more valuable than many sparrows. Therefore, everyone who confesses Me before men, I will also confess him before My Father who is in heaven.
But whoever denies Me before men, I will also deny him before My Father who is in heaven.
Do not think that I came to bring peace on the earth; I did not come to bring peace but a sword”
Psalms 9:9-10
The LORD also will be a stronghold for the oppressed, A stronghold in times of trouble; And those who know Your name will put their trust in You, For You, O LORD, have not forsaken those who seek You.
The Cure for Anxiety
Matthew 6:34
“So do not worry about tomorrow; for tomorrow will care for itself.
Each day has enough trouble of its own.”
We have been taught that we need to provide for ourselves, that we need to have everything that anyone ells have, the newest phone, clothing, we need a shiny car a big home, a large bank account an abundant savings account, the latest toys and any and everything ell the world can come up with.
Mankind seems to have the attitude, the need to protect our lives.
But what the word of GOD says is different, in fact it is the opposite.
Matthew 10:39
“He who has found his life will lose it, and he who has lost his life for My sake will find it.”
Mark 8:35
“For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake and the gospel’s will save it.”
John 12:25
“He who loves his life loses it, and he who hates his life in this world will keep it to life eternal.”
Want fear, stress, anxiety even panic to not have control over your life? If your answer to that question is No keep reading.
Reading through the bible resolving the issue looks to be the following; “Seek first His kingdom and His righteousness” If you have given your life back to Jesus and have asked Him to be your Lord, your redeemer, the answer is to let Him have total control in your daily walk. He has asked the Father to send you the Holy Spirit to dwell in you to teach and guide you. Give Him the opportunity to do so. Spend time in His word place as your first priority as to seek first His kingdom and His righteousness.
By doing so the fear, stress, anxiety will fade away and you will find yourself not in panic mode every time something happens.
We are told in Deuteronomy 31:6
“Be strong and courageous, do not be afraid or tremble at them, for the LORD your God is the one who goes with you. He will not fail you or forsake you.”
Deuteronomy 31:8
“The LORD is the one who goes ahead of you; He will be with you. He will not fail you or forsake you. Do not fear or be dismayed.”
And in Hebrews 13:5
Make sure that your character is free from the love of money, being content with what you have; for He Himself has said,
“I WILL NEVER DESERT YOU, NOR WILL I EVER FORSAKE YOU,”
Living your life in the manner Christ has setout before you, being satisfied with what Father God and Lord Jesus have given you, abiding in His word and seeking first His kingdom and His righteousness; you will find you have nothing to be fearful, stressed out or anxious about, by doing this the Holy Spirit will direct you through the valley of the shadow of death and you will fear no evil.
Psalms 23:4
“Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil, for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.”
Surviving this world may seem a rather heard thing to do, but in full reality it is simple to accomplish.
That would be having a honest, truthful relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ.
Giving Him every aspect of your life and realizing He is your protector and salvation.
That should be your first and foremost goal in life for it is your responsibility to do your part, to do the right thing.
Next the Ant.

Are you prepared?
Straight from the mouth of the LORD our GOD Himself
Isaiah 54:17
“No weapon that is formed against you will prosper;
And every tongue that accuses you in judgment you will condemn.
This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD,
And their vindication is from Me,” declares the LORD.
Weather has been being used against us for decades. Even though no one wanted to hear about it and those willing to listen would not believe it ever posable.
(You do the research)
Haarp the weather modification antennas also know Ionospheric heater, or Sky Heaters,
Haarp is a High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program that was started over 50 years ago.
But as usual the churches response was and for many still today is “God would never allow something like that to happen.”
Herse one sight showing and talking about the Haarp and shows a map of just how many are on the planet at this time.
Go to your search bar and type in Haarp weather modification, here’s one of the sights that will come up.
world map showing locations.
and today we even have companies that go by the name of weather modification, it is not even being hidden now.
Go to your search bar and type in weather modification LLC
If this is not real why would a company that is called Weather Modification Incorporated put up a posting that the first line is
“Meet our team – Weather Modification, Inc.“
Go to your search bar and type in Chem Trails or chemtrails or US Military on Chem Trails You will find those calling it a conspiracy theory, but if you do a honest search and the research you will see the truth.
Remember that statement that was made at the white house several years ago?
Or were you like most Americans, not even paying attention, the statement
“No matter how true a conspiracy theory may be we will still push it as a conspiracy, and the masses will believe us.”
If they are not real why would states pass laws banning them?
these things are done wall the church is sleeping, with their eyes wide open.
Will reject the truth of the evil surrounding them.
And just like the frog in the pan of water, wall the heat is being slowly turned up, to the point of being boiled to death, will not jump out, the mass of Christians will deny the truth until it is to late.
Then they will stand before the Lord, and say something like -- "but we never knew" --
Food wars:
Another touchy topic for most who go by the name Christians.
Aging do your own research; Go to your browser and type in Irradiation and Food. and Weaponized Food Wars Get beyond the governments cover ups and truly dig in and do the research.
You will find every so-called fresh fruit and vegetable you porches from the store has been put through irradiation.
Every bag of Lettes has been sprayed with toxic waste,
chemical so bad that if they are spilt in the factory, the building is cleared and hazmat has to be called. (they are deadly)
but then that government that you trust so much tells you its levels in the food are at acceptable levels. (Yea and i have a one owner bridge for sale, it has only been used once)
For decades we have been feed GMO foods (Genetically Modified Organisms)
Do the research and see what you find!.
Destruction of food plants:
According to official reports, in 2021 and 2022 there were around 100 burnt down each year, and in 2023 there has been approximately 260 food processing plant fires. It is rather amazing that before 2021 in America we averaged a food processing plant burning down around one every five years.
But with china and bill gates buying up our farm land and eliminating our own growing and processing of food, we are being set up for what the military is calling the final famine.
Do the research.
Now as for an electrical war:
There are two major ways this will or could take place
1. Nuclear devises set off 200 or mor feet above our country, if you happen to be looking up at the time all you will see if a small bright light way up in the sky.
And a few moments later No Power.
2. More likely to happen would be the taking out of one of the country’s three main reginal power grids (these are the Western Grid, the Eastern Grid and the Texas Grid) it has been found by federal analysis that by taking out nine key substations the entire grids will go down.
And be down for a minimum of 18 months. More realistic 24 to 36 months.
If this is not true, why do we have a US EMP taskforce?
If this is not true, why is the government preparing for it?
They estimate that 80 to 90% of the U.S. population will die with in the first year.
Power goes out, no big deal they will turn it back on.
No, t
his power outage will not be fixed any time soon,
there is only one place that makes replacement parts for a power grid,
they are not small nor are the cheap,
they also are not made in America,
they are made in china
and china has told America they do not keep an inventory of the parts,
and that it could take many years before they could be manufactured.
So, when the power goes out what will you lose?
All communications, no phone, no radio, no tv, no internet.
These have become the lifeline for over 90% of the population of America.
All water treatment plants, and the pumps to send the water to your home.
All food deliveries to your local store,
All pumps to pump fuel to your car, and water to your home.
The use of your car will be gone and how do you think you will power your EV then??????
Pace makers gone,
Refrigerators, freezers, air conditions, heaters, and on and on it will go.
Water is more important than food but then with out food what will you do?
Preppers have been looked down upon for decades but now who looks to be the wiser of the population?
The one who says i will learn how to work the land and grow food for my family, i will learn how to raise livestock to produce meat and eggs for my family. i will learn how to preserve food for winter.
(And now the government want to take all of that away)
But no one wanted to believe that ether ("O God would never allow that to happen in America")
a typical response from the church.
So many when given the opportunity to learn how to grow their own food or raise their own birds for meat and eggs have answered with.
“I don’t think so ill just go to the store and get what I need.”
Well good luck with that.
You might want to check where you are in all of this,
Do you like to drink water?
Do you like to Eat?
Do you like to stay warm in the winter?
Do you like to stay cool in the summer?
Do you like to have clothing?
Do you like to wear shoes?
It is amazing that now days the population, that is the population who have had their eyes opened, no longer feel they can count on the government or the big industries to provide for them self and their families basic needs such as electric, water and food.
Lets back up, and go back to food.
Now in America we have bureaucrats taking our food supply away.
Even the home owner who wants to grow some of their own food.
State after state is creating a no garden push, no chickens push, no beef push, no milk push and rather than having natural foods, foods you can produce yourself without the interference of the government.
(Gardening in one’s backyard, as it has been dune for tens of thousands of years all around the world.)
Think about it take the time to do some research, watch the sights above.
ill be back in a day or two with part 3 how to survive.
Out for now.
