50 Things You Can Do To Prepare
On the World Prayer Network call a few days ago, WPN Co-Founder & Co-Host Mario Bramnick told us that he shared with his congregation 50 things they could do to prepare for any future eventualities. This is not done as a substitute for being spiritually prepared. Yet material preparation is a good thing.

Mario Bramnick
The purpose is not to make you a “prepper,” whatever that is. The purpose is for you to be able to care for your family, your loved ones and your neighbors in the chance of a man-made or natural disaster. Caring for others is a righteous act. Joseph did that when he prepared for the seven years of famine in Egypt in the book of Genesis. When I was pastoring, I preached several sermons on the Biblical basis for preparedness. Preparedness is right.

Joseph preparing for years of famine.
Most people have health insurance or car insurance. Many people have fire or hail insurance, or insurance on their house. Many have life insurance. Our desire is that we never have to use it. However, it is good to know that if we need it, we have it. I would rather have an item and not need it, than to need an item and not have it.
(Disclaimer: Mario did not write this list. Nor did I. Mario referred to it and then many of you asked for it. Some items might have been excluded from the list. This list is not here because we advocate all of these things. The list is profoundly exhaustive [and exhausting?]. We are not advocating every single item on the list. Where weapons are mentioned, we most certainly do not ever advocate violence. However self-defense is a biblical notion. I personally would have left off any reference to alcohol. However, we are including the entire list here – as the author[s] originally wrote it – because we have received so many requests for the list Mario alluded to briefly in one sentence on the WPN. Is it possible to accomplish or have all 50 items listed below? No, of course not. But start with those that are relevant to you and are doable. Stay focused on how to care for you, your family and your neighbors with the love of Christ. Seek wise counsel. Ask questions of prudent, discerning and mature persons you know and trust. Ask the Holy Spirit to guide and help you to know what to do [and what not to do]. Then, do what He tells you to do. And remember, the ultimate preparation is not material or physical, it is spiritual preparation.)
Now see the list, taken from this article: https://www.newstarget.com/2021-07-22-the-tide-is-turning-50-steps-for-survival-and-victory-against-the-destroyers.html
