Part 1

Internal Preparation

Before I begin, I just want to point out that there is a link in the video description box that has the main points to this video, so that you can print out the information if you wish to do so. It includes a disclaimer regarding any kind of medical issues that you may have (and other information).

DISCLAIMER

The information in this page and in the video is provided for informational purposes; it is not meant to substitute the advice provided by your own physician or other medical professional. If you have a serious medical issue (e.g. diabetes), you need to have it addressed. Your health is your responsibility. Many social services can help cover some medical expenses - just ask them.

Learning To Deal With Hunger

It helps to get away from the notion that you must have '3 square meals a day'. Some people do better having tiny snacks throughout the day and/or incorporate a regular meal for dinner (several hours before bedtime). The growling in your stomach is not always due to hunger. It’s better to be a little bit hungry than it is to be full. Full can be useful if you are able to find a reasonable buffet or if you are given food that may go bad. I balance it out by maybe fasting the next day. Being overstuffed tends to drag down the energy levels.

Let go of emotional attachment to luxuries and addictions.

Fasting & Prayer

A Christian fast is when you go without food for a minimum of 24 hours. Water is recommended.  Pray from the heart. Take a bible with you. Or read one at a library or online. Read scripture. I read a KJV bible.

I am a Christian, so I am against the Satanic new age movement; therefore I will NOT promote meditation, chakra work, repetitious chanting in vain, or any related new age rubbish. I left that behind for good reason. And don’t be fooled, by the ‘contemplative prayer’ that many ‘Christians’ are promoting; it’s just another example of them wanting a full body spiritual experience that they think is from the Holy Spirit. Always discern the spirits.

When I say 'prayer', I don't mean that you have to memorize a certain prayer (for example when people use the rosaries). Talk to God from the heart. If you're not saved, you need to start building your relationship with Jesus Christ right now.

Focus on Your Goals

Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs (without the Illuminati pyramid propaganda. J

Self-actualization

morality, creativity, spontaneity, acceptance, experience purpose, meaning and inner potential

Self-esteem

confidence, achievement, respect of others, the need to be a unique individual

Love and Belonging

friendship, family, intimacy, sense of connection

Safety and Security

health, employment, property, family and social stability

Physiological Needs

breathing, water, food, shelter, clothing, sleep

Keep a notepad, a list of contacts and an agenda, a day-timer schedule to keep you on track of your goals. I’m not talking about vision boards or guided imagery – that’s all new age Satanic rubbish. Pen to paper, rubber to the road.

Focus on Helping Others

First off, if it’s an emergency, get help as soon as possible. Have your emergency information on hand. After life-threatening and urgent matters have been dealt with, you can go back to preventative measures. Then you can take the focus off yourself for a little while and focus on helping others. How is your appearance and hygiene – are you able to help out with serving meals or cleaning the dishes or tables at a community drop-in centre for the homeless. That’s just one example. Ask God how you can help others.

No matter how bad your situation is, there is ALWAYS someone that is a much worse state than you. I’m not saying this for you to take comfort in that fact. I’m saying this, all of this, to help you keep things in perspective.

Building a Relationship with God

Surrender your life and give up your love of sin; repent. Ask God for forgiveness in Jesus name. The wage of sin is death. Profess that you believe that the Word became flesh, Jesus Christ. He was crucified as the sacrificed for our sins. He is our saviour. He rose and ascended into Heaven. Jesus is God & He is alive! Ask God to fill you with the Holy Spirit. You will receive guidance and discernment. Many people receive additional blessings and gifts. But you must be sincere in your repentance.

Know that you may be tested. And the devil and his demons may come around to tempt you, most likely it will be related to your past sins.

Learn who you can trust. You don’t need to give out all of your information to anyone. If/when you go to a shelter, I don’t recommend that you put the burden of trust on a fellow shelter guest – everyone is going through something, including those who volunteer & work at the shelters.* Treat everyone how you would like to be treated. Your backpack is your pillow. Some shelters have a pastor or a shuttle to a local church.

* IMPORTANT: many shelters have specific counselors or can refer you to one, so that you can speak with someone who can help.

Put your trust in God. There is a better place than what this world has become. True Christians are prepared to live and die for our faith. Repenting, prayer and getting your life back on track should keep you busy & out of trouble.

More temptations: Opportunities may come your way for temporary shelter in the form of a relationship or fling. Right now, you’re better off single and focused. Fornication is a sin in God’s eyes. Making quick cash: again, opportunities may come your way, for example, medical research: I thought long and hard about this (because the offer was $1,000 CAD and upwards). But as a Christian, pharmakeia is witchcraft. I trust a Doctor to mend my broken bones (as a quick example) but I really don’t know what these pharmaceutical companies will be putting into my system and the side effects that might occur afterwards. Be careful, be safe. And think over these ‘quick fix’ ideas – they might just send you spiraling backwards and throw you right off track.

Thank you for watching and God bless.
