If also after these things you do not obey Me, then I will punish you seven times more for your sins. I will also break down your pride of power; I will also make your sky like iron and your earth like bronze. Your strength will be spent uselessly, for your land will not yield its produce and the trees of the land will not yield their fruit.
Leviticus 26:18-20
I looked, and behold, an ashen horse; and he who sat on it had the name Death; and Hades was following with him. Authority was given to them over a fourth of the earth, to kill with sword and with famine and with pestilence and by the wild beasts of the earth.
Revelation 6:8
And the greatest famine of all which we now live…
“Behold, days are coming,” declares the Lord God,
“When I will send a famine on the land,
Not a famine for bread or a thirst for water,
But rather for hearing the words of the Lord.
Amos 8:11
Scripture did not appear in the original article below and has been added by the administrator of A CROOKED PATH
Famines are here and they are going to increase. Grow much worse. This is not cynicism or pessimism or the obsession with the world’s bable; negativity. In dismissing, cataloging all things the world does not abide, makes them uncomfortable, or a truth, a reality they refuse. If only people would pause, and i address this solely to those professing to be disciples of Christ — if only we would pause and seriously contemplate the degree we have permitted the rebranded paganism via the New Age Movement to influence our language, our thinking, and return to the word rather than permit the world to stain us.
And, yes, every word is important. The real true “negativity” exists in the hearts and minds of every person not truly renewed of mind and spirit, not born anew in Christ. Expressing reality, speaking and writing truths no matter how bitter, how unpalatable, and how one might not want to address them is NOT being negative, pessimistic, or cynical. Merely upholding the truth as it is found in the inerrant and living word of God.
No, this is according to God. His word. The end times. Which we are all in and we’d better come to terms with that reality and stop residing in an altered one of our making, or one we like that the world has made and residing there rather than in the word, in Christ.
Deal with it folks. If putting on and keeping on the full armour of God is too weighty and difficult for you it is then time to become nourished, strengthened, and stronger in the ways of the spirit and the Spirit in order to wear that armour fully and well!
Liberalism is another religion. A false gospel. One far too many professing to be in Christ have permitted to infect them. I am not writing of what most automatically think of in the use of the word “liberal” as most will gravitate in their minds, sadly, like a trained animal in a circus, to political parties, political platforms, and politicians and elections.
No, liberal in the sense of the word that has been corrupted along the way as so many words have, liberal as in allowing the philosophies, the worldview in, in order to not appear offense or to make one “feel good” as they wander off the path of what is true and godly of the inerrant word in order to better fit into the world.
We are not to fit. We’re to be uncomfortable here. Separate. Mere pilgrims and sojourners. Not to where we are indistinguishable from the pagan in our language, our thinking, and our daily living.
“If God has really done something in Christ on which the salvation of the world depends, and if He has made it known, then it is a Christian duty to be intolerant of everything which ignores, denies, or explains it away. The man who perverts it is the worst enemy of God and men.”
~James Denney (1856-1917)
And, yes, the rain, farming, and world economies are all in the hands of the Lord. And it is the words and deeds, the increasing sin and arrogance of men and women that determine how the Lord deals with us.
When will folks finally understand this? So simple yet so cast aside and doubted.
We are not gods, we do not say what is right and wrong, what words are okay to use, or how much we can absorb of the world and be okay with God. Wise up! Grow up in the faith! Push the watered-down milk from you and with both hands grab on and bite into the meat of the word and no longer abandon the Lord or His direct and clear instruction.
We are to be a separate people. Not indistinguishable from the pagan destined for hell unless they repent and see the wickedness and sin of their ways and come out of darkness into the Light of the Lord!

“We’re Barely Making It”: Furious Farmer Goes Viral Explaining Why Food Prices “Are Going To Go Up”(Video)
June 15, 2022

TOPICS:
Last week we noted how U.S. farmer sentiment plummeted in May – as producers have become anxious about their farms’ financial health.
According to the monthly survey by Purdue University/CME Group, The rapid rise in production costs and uncertainty regarding the direction of input prices have been important contributors to the drop in sentiment. About 44 percent of farmers, according to the monthly survey, cited input costs as their biggest concern for the coming year, according to the Epoch Times.
In fact, 60% of farmers predict farm input prices to be at least 30% higher this year compared to 2021.
To that end, Ohio farmer Holly Weilnau took to TikTok two weeks ago in a now-viral video to explain how farmers are suffering under inflated input costs, which is going to send the price of food much higher than it is right now.
“There are things that we have to buy,” she says, adding “There’s something we have to buy that two years ago cost us $24, last year was about $46, this year it is costing us $96.”
“Please understand, food prices are going to go up,” she continues. “You wanna act like it’s the farmers’ fault—it is not the farmers’ fault. We are barely making it to grow the stuff so you guys are able to get it in August, September, October.”
“Guys, this is not going away. Stop sticking your head in the sand and thinking ‘oh, it’s going to be okay’ — it’s not going to fuckin’ be okay.”
In a Saturday video, Weilnau relayed a story about another farmer who was unable to lock in diesel pricing for this fall, and was told that it was because of uncertainty amid rapidly rising diesel costs.
“That alone, guys—to fill the tractors and the equipment needed to get the product out of the field—is going to be astronomically bad all the way around,” she said, adding: “So understand, people are like, ‘Oh, plan ahead’—we’re trying. They’re not letting us.”
Oh – and at least as of this writing, you can see that Twitter considered Weilnau’s videos “potentially sensitive content.”
This is far from the first farmer to offer a dire warning. Three weeks ago John Boyd Jr., the President of the National Black Farmers Association, said “We are in a crisis right now as far as the food chain goes with the farmer in this country,” adding “We’re going to see a lot of empty shelves and a lot more high food prices.”
In his forty-year career as a farmer, Boyd said he never imagined he would be “paying $5.63 for a gallon of diesel fuel, $900 a ton for fertilizer, and all-time high prices for soybean seeds.” All of the prices he mentioned are at record highs, pressuring farmers’ margins.
He said the American people need to wake up to the crisis in the farming industry, adding, “farming isn’t Republican or Democratic, it’s food, the land is neutral … this is the time the American people need to support the American farmer and put pressure on the Biden administration to put things in place to help farmers.”
He mentioned that banks need to provide emergency funding to farmers to get their crops in the ground. Out-of-control inflation has left some farmers unable to plant because of soaring costs.
Boyd said, “We only have a short window of opportunity to give farmers funding.”
He stated the worst-case scenario is “a lot of shortages” of food that could materialize later this year.
Prepare accordingly.
