On Tuesday, January 21, the first full day in office for President Trump, he attended what was described as a prayer service at the National Cathedral led by Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde. In her remarks, she said, “In the name of our God, I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now. There are gay, lesbian, and transgender children in Democratic, Republican, and independent families — some who fear for their lives.” She went on to defend illegal immigration using God’s name and twisting His Word out of context in order to support her remarks. To my knowledge, there was no prayer of blessing, no word of encouragement, nothing that would draw the President or those gathered closer to God. If anything, she would drive people away by her spiritual arrogance, divisive condescension, and mean spiritedness.
“Rev. Budde” is a poster-child for what’s wrong with many American churches—there are false prophets in the pulpit. And what’s wrong in the churches permeates those who sit in the pews until the church has a form of godliness, but deny its power. (2 Timothy 3:5).
The basic problem in our nation is not our politics, or health care, or racial prejudice, or inflation, or polarization, or immigration, or enemy threats, or whatever else you can name. It’s not China or Iran or North Korea. While each of those areas are problems, the fundamental problem is spiritual and moral.
My beloved friend, Priscilla Shirer, tells a wonderful story from when her third son was young. She had taken him to the Fall Festival at their church which was held in the parking lot. A variety of games were offered for the children at various booths, but the favorite one was in the back of a pick-up truck. It was a version of “whack-a-mole” that can be found at almost every state fair. This one was homemade with a blanket stretched across the bed of the truck with holes cut into it, and various puppets popping up through the holes. A plastic bat was given to the child to “play” the game by hitting the puppets to make them stay down. But as soon as one puppet was hit, another popped up. And so the game went on. The line to the game was very long, and Priscilla’s son became restless and impatient. He suddenly let go of his mother’s hand and before she could grab him, ran up to the truck, jerked off the blanket, and exposed several startled adults lying on their backs with puppet covered hands raised up in the air! In other words, the children had been whacking at what they could see but the real problem was underneath the blanket.
Priscilla’s story illustrates that America’s basic problem is not one that we can see in the visible world. It is “underneath” in the invisible world. We are in a cosmic battle between good and evil, light and darkness, truth and deception. The apostle Paul makes it clear… “For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places” (Ephesians 6:12).

Why One Survival Food Company Shines Above the Rest
Let’s be real. “Prepper Food” or “Survival Food” is generally awful. The vast majority of companies that push their cans, bags, or buckets desperately hope that their customers never try them and stick them in the closet or pantry instead. Why? Because if the first time they try them is after the crap hits the fan, they’ll be too shaken to call and complain about the quality.
It’s true. Most long-term storage food is made with the cheapest possible ingredients with limited taste and even less nutritional value. This is why they tout calories so much. Sure, they provide calories but does anyone really want to go into the apocalypse with food their family can’t stand?
This is what prompted the Llewellyns to launch Heaven’s Harvest. They bought survival food from multiple companies and determined they couldn’t imagine being stuck in an extended emergency with such low-quality food. They quickly discovered that freeze drying food for long-term storage doesn’t have to mean sacrificing flavor, consistency, or nutrition.
Their ingredients are all-American. In fact, they’re locally sourced and all-natural! This allows their products to be the highest quality on the market, so good that their customers often break open a bag in a pinch to eat because they want to, not just because they have to due to an emergency.
At Heaven’s Harvest, their only focus is amazing food. They don’t sell bugout bags, solar chargers, or multitools. They have one mission – feeding Americans in times of crisis.
What they DO offer is the ability for people to thrive in times of greatest need. On top of long-term storage food, they offer seeds to help Americans for the truly long-term. They want them to grow their own food if possible which is why they offer only Heirloom, Non-GMO, Non-Hybrid, Open-Pollinated seeds so their customers can build permanent food security on their own property.
