Why?

Acts 2:17 states," And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams"

I believe this is happening today.

Our prophet President Thomas S. Monson has stated:

“When the time for decision arrives, the time for preparation is past.”
"Dare to Stand Alone" October 2011 General Conference

"We should remember that the best storehouse system would be for every family in the Church to have a supply of food, clothing, and, where possible, other necessities of life.
September 2014 Ensign "Are We Prepared?"


"I am a little bit nervous about whats coming."

Ok, don't we all feel this to some degree? I sure have. There are quite a few things that have helped me.

1. Patriarchal blessings. Read yours. Heavenly Father thinks youre the most amazing person and has such specific guidance. We are born in the last days for a reason!

2. Here are a few talks that have really, really helped me.
Therefore They Hushed Their Fears- General Conference April 2015. Elder David A. Bednar

QUOTES

“The revelation to produce and store food may be as essential to our temporal welfare today as boarding the ark was to the people in the days of Noah” -President Ezra Taft Benson, Ensign, Nov. 1980.

Again, after 9/11, in the following October General Conference, President Hinckley talked about food storage. “We cannot provide against every contingency. But we can provide against many contingencies. Let the present situation remind us that this we should do. As we have been continuously counseled for more than 60 years, let us have some food set aside that would sustain us for a time in case of need. But let us not panic nor go to extremes. Let us be prudent in every respect.”

“When we really get into hard times, where food is scarce or there is none at all, and so with clothing and shelter, money may be no good for there may be nothing to buy, and you cannot eat money, you cannot get enough of it together to burn to keep warm, and you cannot wear it” -J. Reuben Clark, Jr., Church News, November 21, 1953, 4.

"The giant earthquake, and the tsunami it sent crashing into the coasts around the Indian Ocean, is just the beginning and a part of what is to come, terrible as it was.
You remember the words from the Doctrine and Covenants which now seem so accurate: (he quotes D&C 88:88-91)
Fear shall come upon all people. But you and I know that the Lord has prepared places of safety to which he is eager to guide us....It will be our choice whether or not to move up or stay where we are. But the Lord will invite and guide us upward by the direction of the Holy Ghost....
I did not plan to speak to you about the hard times that are ahead and they are real, and they are coming...."
