I totally get what you're saying. I've been there. God guides and speaks/ shows things to me all the time good and bad. We don't listen enough. You're not crazy. HE gets are attention when we're open to HIM. Love ya sister.
I wonder if that grasshopper could have been a signal for you to find a way to have some kind of canopy put up over your garden to keep them out🤔 Note: someone noted in the comments that they used 'nolo bait' that save their garden from them. God Bless us 1 & all🙌🙏
Folks, walk your property praying over it. Call those things that aren't yet as though they were. Speak life and safety, ...harvest, prosperity and love, joy, etc. Pray a hedge of protection to surronding your property and family, before its needed, so that it's done in heaven and earth if trouble ever does come your way.
Those are known as "signs" of things to come. We have lost that ability or rather been trained to ignore those signs and it has done us great harm doing so. More folks need to open up their minds and pay attention to things like your grasshopper. Trust your gut, it will never steer you wrong.
Isaiah 30: 21. “Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, “This is the way; walk in it.” We need to be actively listening for His guidance and direction.
Back in the 70’s, when my six children were all little and I was harvesting my first garden, I clearly remember how happy I felt digging potatoes out of the ground with my children. My very first potato harvest. We were all laughing, so excited at the miracle of food dug out of the ground with our bare hands. Thank you, for reminding me of that memory.
We in South Africa have struggled this past year with millions of "grasshoppers" in the Karoo and kalahari... It's scary to see what they can do to crops and pasture... It felt like a plague was sent to bring us to our knees. We have already struggled for years with a drought in these area's. Being obediant to God and prepaired is the best ways I can see us getting through these crazy times. Keep doing what you'all are doing! Stay strong and keep Faith!! AM
I live on the upper Texas Gulf Coast and we have had literally thousands, I am not exaggerating, of grasshoppers. They are all sizes and all colors and they are eating everything, flowers, vegetables, anything green. Every time I open the gate to my garden and hear the sounds of thousands of grasshoppers chomping on my vegetables I am clearly getting signs and realize that it is time to prepare. Be Prepared! I have lived here for 62 years and have never seen them do this before. I appreciate your channel, I feel less alone listening to you💜
Also from Texas, north of Austin. I’ve never seen so many grasshoppers before, they’ve basically eaten the garden and small trees over night out of nowhere, very odd and disheartening to see all the work be undone so quickly…
I saw a ton more than this year in 2001. You walk from the house to the car, you wore sunglasses to keep grasshoppers out your eyes. They were like a scourge then. Dry years cause for more grasshoppers. If wet during juvenile stage creates a mold on them and kills them.
I'm in North Central Texas and have lots of grasshoppers. They have eaten up my only 2 green bean plants, that had survived out of the others, and now starting on my tomato plants. I have spread diatomaceous earth and they still keep coming.
My Grandfather used to tell me when I was a child to always listen to that “still small voice in your mind”. God speaks to us in so many ways. Hang in there Patera. Much love from Alabama.
I watch your videos through my smart TV RUclips App, so I rarely respond to you videos. This one really moved me to get my phone so I could reply. I know exactly what you're expressing. In 2020, after 8 years of being in a caregiver lifestyle for my beloved first, then my sister-in-law and then my Mother-in-law. They each needed me during their final years and months. Then my disabled son who is a veteran had to come to live with me. I was tired, physically, emotionally and spiritually. I had been in college and had to finish after my husband passed. Two years, to the date of his passing, I took my last final exam. During an intense prayer time, I asked the Lord, for direction, guidance and wisdom in making a move. The voice (spirit of the Lord) that was so clear and so exact that I stopped and laughed out loud. I specifically asked, Lord, what do I do about moving, show me Lord, when, where do I go, how can I know for sure? The spirit immediately came... "The time is now. You will be moving before November." That's when I laughed, Lord, that is impossible. I can't be ready to move that soon. It was already September. Listed the house, sold to first couple that came wo hours after it listed. Contract in hand in 3 hours. Closing date October 9th. God speaks to those who are willing to hear his voice. I asked for 2 things, 1. a place in the country, 2. No mortgage. He provided both through thd sell of my home. A mobile home was not my dream ... but it was an answer to my prayers.
@@rhondajo3 please, In true sincerity, your thoughts are kind, but I didn't care for my dying relatives. I served, I loved, I enjoyed, I accompanied and I cherished life with my living relatives until their last breaths, they were living. Per my husband's words, for as long as I am breathing, I am alive. I am living with cancer, I am not dying with cancer.
@@gracehillgranny5445 Okay, you win! You win the "Put This on a T-Shirt" prize for the month of July. (Or, more accurately, your beloved husband, may he rest in peace, wins the prize but I'm giving it to you in his honor.) On the front: "As long as I am breathing, I am alive." And on the back, "I am living with cancer; I am not dying with cancer." Thank you for sharing your story. PEACE
The Ant on you arm was the ending to your intuitions and went unnoticed. The parable of the "Ant and the Grasshopper" applys to us all daily and you are spot on with your concerns I think. Choose to be the ant and prepare or perish as a grasshopper.
People don't seem to just walk around outside and notice things any more. This week I mowed the back part of my back yard for the first time this year. Near a couple of black walnut trees, there was a large area of oxalis flowers that had been pressed down and partly dying. My best guess is that some deer in the area consider my back yard a safe place to sleep. So I mowed around that area and left it as is. It was good to think that even the wild animals think my place is a refuge.
The locust is a harbinger of the plagues to come. Failed crops, farmers not planting, locusts and plagues. Your rational mind knows what the message is. We thank you for sharing. Not all of us have that connection. We rely on you for these messages.
I thought immediately of scripture when she started talking about it. We need to fight against the enemy telling us is that really true. Remember what he said to Eve in the garden.
My Sister and I try to stay 2 to 3 years ahead. You never know when your crops can fail. You never know when the grasshopper or Locust could Eat EVERYTHING! Thank you for sharing this. I left Orlando Florida in 1993, because of a warning like this. Everyone keep working, watching your backs and praying. GOD bless
I know that voice. One time It spoke to me during the tornado that hit our town. It gave me comfort. Just Before the tornado was going to hit our house, the voice said "we got you" and the tornado jumped our house and landed in a nearby nature reserve. You are not alone. Listen to the voice. It will guide you. Stay humble and listen.
I want to share an experience similar to yours. We have something here in Utah called a case lot sale and it happens every 6 months. Just before covid hit was the time for the annual case lot. Monday came and I was impressed upon that night to go shop and get our food storage stock ups. Now usually I wait a few days to lilly nilly along and look at my pantry and make a inventory to know what we need. This is something we save up for because buying in bulk this way usually saves a good amount. Anyway the feeling was so strong that day that I told my hubby we needed to go that night and get our stuff. He wasn't super excited but went with me. We were able to get what we needed to last us the 6 months and a little longer because of previous purchases. The very next day on Tuesday every store put a 2 per customer limit on everything. That has stuck with me for these last few years that I evaluate and look at things to make sure we are preparing. I now have a new little grandbaby with weight issues and she is being put on a formula diet and once again I have been inspired to get cans of formula for her in my pantry before this happened and I am so glad I listened because her momma doesn't have to worry about the added expense of how to feed her baby. I hate that there are even limits on that but very chance I can I get one can to keep us stocked. God is always talking we just have to be listening to know what he is saying. He will send us messages when we need them. Blessings to all and good luck as you continue to prepare.
My dad has been gardening for 48 years. He messaged me a couple of weeks ago and told me the grasshoppers (as big as you described) came in and destroyed everything in no time. He said that was the end of his summer garden and that it was unusual so early in the year. ☹️ He’s in Texas.
I'm so sorry for your dad. I'm trying to see the beauty or message in what Patara is saying but we have tons of grasshoppers and all they do is destroy!
In the winter I was sitting and praying in front of my wood stove (about the future, etc.). When I looked in the stove, the wood had burned into the shape of a grasshopper, and a knot was the eye - super clear image. About a week later, there was a burned/dead fish looking piece of wood. I ended up telling my husband about it a few weeks later - I truly believe God gives us signs / warnings, we just have to pay attention, take action and not blow them off.
God tells us that in the last times that many, many people, including children, will be prophesying in these times. Keep speaking out on what God's giving you. Stay grounded in His Word, to stay in line with Him, and He'll give you more to speak on. 🙏🙏🙏
Thank you! Thank you, for this video. I am in a season of my life where I have been having some resentment and jealousy of the freedom my other family members have right now. I am the care taker for my 95 yo dad and am trying to homestead and prepare. There are days when I want to throw in the towel, but you have helped remind me that this is my season and it is important and does take hard work and if I had more freedom from responsibility would I really be doing this? I need to be HERE, right HERE! ❤️
Many don't even know the Aesop fables anymore. They are so valuable. I used to read them every night to my children but that was 50 years ago. Parents need to read them NOW!
Try to find the OLD versions of Aesop's fables. In new versions, the ants let the grasshopper in and let him stay because they like the music he plays. 🙄
Listening to your inner voice, intuition, discernment or whatever it is you want to call it saved my great grandfathers life - my mum always told us how she recalled this event happening when she was a child - he was a merchant seaman on sailing ships in the 1930's, he left home to join a ship to sign up for several months sailing to the Pacific Islands - to his families surprise he came back home and said something told him not to sign up - that ship was lost at sea.
This video almost had me in tears because of talking about hearing God and listening to the guiding voices. Just recently, since I have become a believer in the past year and half, do I now know that the voice of God had been helping me to get where I am today. Starting in 2019 when we took the leap to leave NY for KY. and now to homeschool my children. I have "reasoned " myself out of homeschooling since the beginning of this past school year but after the school year completed I heard it like a deafening noise. I believe it's God leading me to that as well and I'm going to listen to him.
We use to call the big grasshoppers “Georgia Thumpers” it’s sounds like one of those……I believe the Lord is showing us lots of warning, in dreams, visions and instinctive discernment…. I’ll share part of a dream I had I was at my granny’s house in this dream and she had absolutely nothing in her fridge not even condiments. And she was hosting guests and she had her apron on and I remember saying “granny how are you gonna feed all these people with no food?” And I woke up thinking, what was that? And the only reason I believe I know it’s about famine is because the last time I had a dream that surrounded my granny’s house was in early 2020 and I was safe in my home in the dream and within 4weeks we were in quarantine over Covid. So I’m taking this seriously that famine is coming!…..Don’t worry what others think if your seeking God’s wisdom and guidance, he’ll give it to you. Keep it up Patara.
I'm over in Oregon and I asked my husband about the grasshopper situation. His dad was a crop duster in eastern Oregon all his up bringing and he said they have a 15 year cycle. He remembers this happening when he was a youngster. As a reminder why we do what we do. Thanks for confirming exactly what I've been feeling today.
I’ve felt different all last week. Heaviness in my chest, I prep, I garden, I’m doing my part, but it’s like I’m being told to hurry and get it done, keep pushing, keep moving. I felt like I was going crazy. But I think it’s the good Lord pushing me to keep going.
It's a Blessing that you can hear the voice of God talking to you and that you have someone who will listen to you. I won't go into a self-pity party here, but there are many times I could have said I told you so to my husband but he still would have never understood. I quit taking it personal and just do what I have to do. Thank you for being here, you are also a blessing to us who want to know.
This video is concerning to me because I had something similar happen a few weeks ago. I was out watering my garden and saw a brownish/gray grasshopper that was about 2 inches big. Very different looking from others I’ve seen around recently. In my minds eye I saw huge swarms of these destroying crop fields. It freaked me out and I sprayed it with my hose, stomped on it and threw it to the chickens. I hadn’t heard about the locusts in Oregon until now so that’s a little freaky to me.
I just had to pop in this space to say, I was peeling potatoes the other day, that were purchased from the grocery, and I had that VERY feeling as I looked at the potato that was rotten on the inside. I appreciate you having the boldness to say these feelings you have, I have questioned myself in that feeling since. So appreciate your conviction and your willingness to share. The holy spirit is our heavenly helper and he is on the move in the land.
I feel the same way. God is pushing me to get out of debt, budget, prep within that budget, keep my vehicles full of gas. Prepare to move which is scary honestly but I know it’s God telling us to downsize and prepare for the place he wants us to be. Discernment my friend is a gift
I wanted to let you know that after watching this yesterday today I saw a large grasshopper. It flew past my head as I was getting out of my car. I had just bought an older lady’s whole canning outfit as she and her husband was selling out to travel after retirement. I wasn’t sure about starting to can again and I felt like that was my sign that I was taking the right steps for my family. Thank you for your channel. I love it
Young lady you just spoke WISDOM. I was blessed by my grand daughter with a trip a few weeks ago to go to the ocean. I went...she paid for everything except my gas there and back. WE had a WONDERFUL time. I much needed that. When I returned home, my internet was out...my garden was full of wondertul food. I have worked the past few weeks picking and canning over 135 Quarts of beans of many kinds...salsa..jams...pickles and relishes and Potatoes and tomaotes. GOD allowed me to go...HE kept saying to me things will be fine while you are gone...ENJOY...when you get back WORK. And I have worked and I Enjoyed my trip. Sometimes the smallest of voices is the LOUDEST of sounds that WE ONLY HAVE TO LISTEN TO HEAR. GOD Bless you Dear and Keep doing YOU. GOD is with you and NO ONE can take Better care of you than HE!!!!.
Your grasshopper story is interesting because I’ve one very large grey colored one that won’t leave one spot in my garden. I try to scare it away or turn the garden hose on it and it still won’t leave. I’m very spiritual and believe in signs and I’ve had the same premonition you’ve had. Things are coming that we have yet to see the worst of.
OMG. I experienced the things you mentioned. I accepted Jesus into my heart when I was 14. I have heard the Same voice. My husband thinks I'm crazy. Anyhow, I'm not good at remembering scripture but my Pastor did a test with the youth group and told us what our Godly talents were. Mine was discernment. I also remember him teaching one Sunday morning that when the end times approached he would reveal it to his church and everyone on earth who didn't know him would be wondering the earth as if a vail covered their eyes. When I got the Lords message to prepare. I listened.
Good afternoon Patera! May God keep us all. We are trying in our tiny garden to grow something. We had failed seeds but replanted. I prayed over it and to my SHOCK the next day or 2 I went out and saw sprouts. I had "VOLUNTEERS!!" We never had that happenned. I have cucumbers and squash from last year after TILLING AND digging etc. It was a true miracle! My first thought was you speaking about "volunteer plants! THANK YOU for all of your encouragement! I was about to give up at 2 points but you had 2 videos at the right time that kicked me back into gear!!
we got a volunteer pumpkin when I used some soil (from a used seed tray where one didn't sprout) in my new grow bag. I told my hubby to save it and transplant the volunteer and I told him what a volunteer plant is. it's exciting when u get those! so happy for u that u got some volunteers too!
Yesterday my local Walmart told me I had exceeded the amount of allowed purchases. The cashier was very nice about it and had to get her manager to override her register. I paid for my items and she allowed me to then purchase my remaining items. She said it was because I was buying canned food and the government had placed limits on the amount of food items not a dollar amount. My wife and I were both shocked.
Thank you for sharing this with us. Lately I have had a deep sense of dread that something really bad is going to happen. God has spoken to me several times in the past like this and verbally like you described , but people have always felt I am crazy when I mention them so I rarely share these experiences with others anymore even though they always turn out to be true. It is nice to hear that others have similar experiences of God speaking to them in this way. So thank you for sharing with us.
Agreed! Warned my husband that I had a terrible feeling about him riding his quad one day. A few hours later he was on Life Flight and almost died. When that feeling comes, listen.
I’ve been having this overwhelming feeling to find multiple/alternative food sources. This year is my first year gardening (learning from my mistakes and working on a Kate summer and fall garden). Just yesterday I was able to join a local CSA. Earlier this week I visited the farm of 1 of 2 farmers I get my produce and eggs from. I was able to get connected with a local rancher for beef and have another source for chicken. This morning I was chatting with the 2nd farmer I purchase from and she shared how the corn crop that she and her husband planted were destroyed by grasshoppers, but the commercial cornfields near her weren’t touched. She was thankful they only planted a small crop so it wasn’t as devastating. All that to say, thank you for stressing the importance of supporting our local farmers like yourself and encouraging us to stay busy. It can be overwhelming at times, but I know I’m not alone. ❤️🙏🏽
God speaks to us in more ways than one. And I, for one, am grateful that I have the opportunity to hear from those that have "a message" for me, whether it be from seeing a grasshopper or in a dream act. The key is, here, to listen. Thank you Patera. God is good.
I am 50 years old. I have lived in the same county my entire life. I have never actually seen a squirrel hide it's food at all. About 2 months ago, a squirrel repetitively would come in the front yard and bury pecans and whatever else within mere feet of me. For a few weeks we saw this squirrel 'prepping' without regard to us being so close to him. I took this as a sign.
My Grandmother told me that means that there is a really cold winter coming. Watch the horses' coats now and see if their winter coats come early and/or thicker.
I needed your message and reassuring ambiance. I've been made to feel lately like I'm "overreacting" but I feel this in my bones. I know God has put this sense of urgency upon me to prepare. Blessings!!
I listened to this video this morning after performing surgery on my squash and zucchini plants to evict vine borers. Moved on to pick green beans, cucumbers and tomatoes. Next on the list will be another herb harvest for the dehydrator. We’re taking a retail time out so I’m trying to preserve all that I can while the summer garden is in full production. My motivation is my grandchildren. I never want to have to answer the question “why can’t we have dinner tonight?”
Patara is always right on… haven’t found anyone else on RUclips that just makes watching worthwhile always. Either to laugh or learn a lesson - good wisdom always.
Isn't it great to have people in your life, especially a partner, who trusts and believes in your instincts and intuition! Who knows you're not crazy. ❤ Thank you for sharing Patara.
Two years ago we had a plague of grasshoppers here in BC, Canada.they ate everything in sight and they were very large. Last year we were fine but I have seen a few recently and I am feeling pretty concerned again. Reminds me of the biblical plague of locusts!
Awesome 🦗♥️👍🥔 We moved to Upstate New York, from downstate. We built some raised beds and bought two. It’s our first time planting. We have a healthy garden going now! We have 3 different types of potatoes (ate some already) lettuce, broccoli, squash, cucumbers, tomatoes, wild flowers and peppers. Great feeling, and relaxing. I’m 62 now and appreciating every moment. God is like peat moss ♥️🙏♥️ Thanks for sharing your experiences.
Interesting timing, I was working in my tomatoes this morning and saw the first grasshopper I've seen in a very long time. I too thought about the scriptures and the crops and all the things we are now seeing. Signs are everywhere and it's time for people to wake up!
To hear gods words or to see his signs you must be in his word, I use to to study gods words everyday and with no thought heard his voice directing me,over the past few years I have slipped in this area and definitely do not hear that strong nudge anymore, reminder to hear gods voice you must stay in his word! love you Petera!
Our Creator has ways to send us warnings and red flags. Thanks for being a watch woman on the wall. Have been following your advise as I’m able. GOD is good!
I want to thank you from the bottom of heart. You have given me so much hope and encouragement. I am a newbie at this stocking up and canning pairing a pantry. Forgive me if my grammar is not the best I am in tears 0 at this moment. I have been listening to different homesteaders and other people, reading paying attention to exactly what you’ve been saying listen to that still small voice. You just confirmed everything I have been feeling for at least the last three years or better. I came home to take care of my mom . She died last July 2 and all this time I have been away from my family in Kansas. I have had the feeling as you say in my Gut to can and store for at least the last three years especially when Covid hit. My husband finally got on board and has been helping as well. I thank you so much for your testimony of your Savior. I think you sharing your family and your life here on RUclips. The Lord put me onto you and several other RUclipsrs with your precious information and knowledge that you share with us every day. Not sure where I’m going with this other than your story touched my heart and my soul so I know it’s true just wanna say thank you for everything.
In 2018 I had a similar experience. My brother and I were driving on I-5 in western Washington state. There was a semi truck and trailer just ahead of us in the next lane. All of a sudden there was a sense of commotion and a big black object came flying/tumbling from under the semi. At first I thought it was a large garbage bag and then I saw the white head and recognized that it was a fully mature bald eagle. A short way further we saw a car had pulled over and the driver was checking for damage. It shook me to my core and I couldn't shake the feeling that it was a sign of what was coming. I'll never forget that day.
Glory to God! This video gave me confirmation that I needed to keep on preparing, after wrestling with new doubts and then praying to Him for assurance (after a close family member attempted to dissuade me LAST NIGHT). Thank you for your faithfulness to Him (and to us!). :)
Hi Patara, about a month ago I had an encounter with a hummingbird. I was coming outside onto my porch with my dog. It was not quite dusk, when this black hummingbird with a big brilliant red throat stopped in midair only about 3 ft from me. My dog froze, as did I. It scanned us both, moving it's head mechanically/robotic like, across us, like it was mapping us. As it turned it's head, there was a sound, almost like a tiny motor. Maybe it was just coming from the wings or throat but it sounded mechanical to me.. It remained looking at us for about 30 seconds. Now mind you, I'm not a hummingbird expert, but this didn't seem natural to me. I was kind of frightened by the experience and couldn't make sense of why I was having an eerie feeling about such a beautiful creature. I thought maybe it was a drone and this made me feel paranoid! I'm not sure what happened, but hearing your story about the grasshopper, brought me a little bit of strange comfort. 🦗
I have hummingbirds do that as well but I take it as them recognizing me as their safe source :) now the dragonflies that follow me everywhere- they kind of creep me out lol. if I stop, they stop...and we just watch each other lol
I've seen a yt, neverlosetruth channel, 5 yrs ago in SC she filmed a housefly indoors, it literally had a flashing light on it's back and flew strangely. I think these things are drones. Scary times
This reminds of things my grandfather tried to teach me when I was a kid. It was kind of hard to learn it all not living on farm like he did when he was young. One thing he told was keep an eye on the land because the land will tell you things, and people have become to complacent and comfortable. My grandfather would have loved this channel and would tell me and anyone else who would listen to act accordingly and keep busy.
Thanks for this..my inner voice and signs have told me much. Your story resonates with me. There are many signs now. Your potatoes look great. My husband is disabled but we still do as much as possible. Our garden is looking good. Last year nothing grew here. I told my husband I was not doing all of that again...then the prices went through the roof...we can do some vegetarian meals if the prices get too high or even just cut back the portions of meat...which we have done drastically over the lady five years. I still work hard , but I remember the days we were your age and could work like that for hours and hours. TAKE CARE...GOD HAS THIS IF WE ALL USE COMMON SENSE TO DO OUR PART. MUCH LOVE.
One bright day in late autumn a family of Ants were bustling about in the warm sunshine, drying out the grain they had stored up during the summer, when a starving Grasshopper, his fiddle under his arm, came up and humbly begged for a bite to eat. "What!" cried the Ants in surprise, "haven't you stored anything away for the winter? What in the world were you doing all last summer?" "I didn't have time to store up any food," whined the Grasshopper; "I was so busy making music that before I knew it the summer was gone." The Ants shrugged their shoulders in disgust. "Making music, were you?" they cried. "Very well; now dance!" And they turned their backs on the Grasshopper and went on with their work. There's a time for work and a time for play.
Good morning y'all. Always looking forward to my favorite southern Tennessee gal. Just finished canning some potatoes and a few quarts of pickled onions. Started reading up on fermentation. Looks easy enough especially with some great homestead channels. Always keep busy and while we are at it, give God the glory for everything Good or Bad. Let's be thankful. Love ❤️ ya Patera.
Fermenting is very easy. Just make sure everything is very clean and that all your veggies are below the brine so they don't mold. Go for it. You will be pleased.
@@r.a.l.1898 Haha, really can't go wrong on those. Put them on your burger, give him praise and you have a young helper in the garden and kitchen for life. If they don't too hot, give him that tiny hint on tweaking it next time.
Patara, I am a intuitive....the grasshopper sends you the message to keep jumping forward, keep working, to tell others to keep going....and you have been doing this. Trust this leap of faith. I too did what you did. I fled the city with my husband and set up a homestead. We warn people, we teach people, we try to encourage. You are on the right path.❤❤
I'm way up in Northern Minnesota. The weather has been whacky. My doubts have been on weather or not my gardens will come through. I was planting beans when a huge grasshopper landed on the edge of my garden box just feet away from me. I haven't seen one in years here. My guts told me this garden could be all in vein. I took some of my savings and went to the grocery stores to stock up on all the vegetables and fruits we have hope to do well this year in our own gardens. It too had an impression on me to see that critter. It made me in force my concerns to our nine children to prepare. Thank you for all you do for us Patara.💖
OMG!! The same thing happened to us in AZ! It was probably around May as well. It was about 2 inches big. My 8 yr old captured it for a few minutes in to observe it and when we released it, it refused to leave! It only flew a few feet toward the top of our house. I even told my kids the same thing. That these were locusts!!! I took a picture of this dude also. It was a strange surreal feeling for me as well. I wish to God that I could've moved to a homestead, but God brought us from CA right before Covid hit to AZ. I would not have survived emotionally in CA during Covid!! I also thank God that I've found you on here, you have helped me ALOT. God pushes us towards like-minded people and helps us help each other. God bless you.
I shared some things with my mom that the lord showed me 8 years ago…she told me not to tell people because they would think I was crazy, we are living now seeing now what I told mom, and we got ready for what is coming…that is how I was woke up from sleep in December when I was told to get home start your gardens stop trucking and get your gardens going now…I said but I don’t have everything yet…was told work with what you do have and go home now…so I did just that and so glad I am making my gardening mistakes now while I am stocked to the rafters than making them when hungry and no food
I had my "grasshopper moment" last week. That thing was huge!! But it was a reminder of how fast things you take for granted can be gone. It also reminded me Who is in charge. Thank you for sharing your grasshopper moment!
Great message today. Obedience is better than sacrifice. It’s one thing to hear His voice, but we have to act upon what he tells us. I’m lecturing to myself.
Good afternoon everyone 😌 Right now I'm working gotta get home so I can take care of garden chickens and cook. You know it's tiring but lately I had the feeling of being so blessed 🥰 Thank you for the how much you care about US❤️
I just watched your video and talking about the grasshopper sent chills down my spine. I wish I could send you a picture of the grasshopper I saw about a week ago. I couldn't believe it. In my heart I knew something wasn't right about it. And then I see your video. I can't do much but do what I can. I have been trying to get my family involved and have to a very very small degree. I'm 68 and I said to myself "What can I do?" And I said, "The best you can and pray." 💖 Thank you Patara
We love y’all. Because of that voice I moved from Texas to Alaska 7 years ago. My life and family’s life are better for it. Keep being the blessing you are. Love from Alaska my sister.
Yep, Be still and know that I am God. I was in my garden one day just picking beans. My soul and my mind were fighting. (I had lost four brothers and my mom in three years). I heard the sound of a dove, look up and there was one sitting on the fence six feet away. It just sat there looking at me cooing. I just stared at it for 15 minutes. That was very unusual for a dove to sit in one place that long and close. In my soul I heard the word peace, peace every time it cooed. My soul was given peace. I started healing from then on. God sends what you need when you need it if you just listen. Thought it was cool that you saw the grasshopper and today there was the ant crawling. My momma used to tell us the story of the grasshopper and the ant. God bless and continue to listen to that voice.
AMEN! God works in mysterious and marvelous ways...for those that listen, pay attention, and follow His directions! Thank you for sharing the marvelous story, wake-up call and message from our Lord!!!
Always listen to your intuition. We were in Chattanooga the end of May for my birthday, just walking and felt like we just needed to go back to hotel….like now. We walked back got in our room heard gun shots….we love rural and know gun shoots, then sirens. Turns out teens shooting at each other over something stupid two blocks from hotel, several injured. Could have been us.
I can't tell you how much this means to me that you shared this...thank you. I understand why you are emotional as the confirmations came in even as you are sharing. Every word you have spoke about is truth. When we realize we understood God is speaking to us is very impactful. Much love and blessings to you😘
I had this happen to me yesterday as I was walking out to my garden. The large grasshopper flew over my French and into the garden. I immediately remembered your video. It moved too fast to get a picture however today, July 4th, I'm sitting in my yard trying to relax and a wasp lands on the underside of my lawn chair. In it's grasp is a grasshopper. I got a picture of that but could post it here. I felt like God was giving a reassurance that He's got us. Prepare for sure but know He's for us. Happy Independence Day!
I'm in Virginia and we normally don't really see crickets till later...maybe September or October. Is this time of year normal for you out there to see them? If it was here I'd say wow they're early this year!
I love it Patera, what a beautiful way you are flowing with life. Your approach sounds normal and natural to me and let’s not discount courageous too. What a blessing to married to someone like James who recognizes your discernment and ability to receive guidance as you do. Unfortunately all I get is eye rolls which is the main reason I value your channel so much as it encourages me to keep going. I also really enjoy spending time with you even if only on line. Thanks for all you do.
A very old childhood story book. Called (the grasshopper and the Ant). I have my grandmother's reader . I had to look it up. Yep it was there, the story of the grasshopper and the Ant. Now this would be in the Great Depression when this was written. So I would heed what she is saying. Yes a warning
Patara I totally understand the whole concept of listening to God. If you listen you will be blessed to no end. The last 5 years hubby and I have done the things God has wanted us to do and we are now in a good position to survive whatever comes our way.
Great message today, Patara! I too have seen huge ginormous grasshoppers this year. I was told they're "normal" for these N. FL woods, but they're huge this year. It's like they were given Thorium or another radioactive isotope. They decimate every green plant around if you don't stay ahead of the game. These buggers are approx 3 inches long with a red stripe down its side..... they're HUGE! I've caught them in my small garden, and I stomp them dead! My squash plants had been decimated by these things (3 I know for sure) chewed the squash leaves down to a nubs. Like I said, we stomp them dead usually, but I finally had to break out the Sevin dust, only after I had wrapped tulle around the plants so the grasshoppers couldn't get to my plants. I absolutely hate I had to use Sevin dust...EVER...but gotta do what I've gotta do to save my crops. Since being told these grasshoppers were "normal" I never tied it to Biblical Prophecy, although I knew IT WAS COMING SOON. Since seeing Dahboo777's post about the Mormon Grasshoppers the other day, and now your video, I can only say, IT IS TIME IN GODS TIMELINE for these things to come to pass. CERN is bringing the fallen angels, demons, Titans, Giants, NEPHILM thru the veil this weekend. IT IS TIME! Thanks again for the great message today, and for all you do to keep us informed, Patara. God bless you, Sister. Don't get too hot out there, stay hydrated, and keep telling your TRUTHS, Sistagirl. ~penney
Yes, I heard that CERN is doing something big on July 5, and I believe they are opening up more dark portals. We must pray for God's protection as these demons are unleashed, and I believe many who are not believers have no idea what is coming!
It's a lubber grasshopper. Will eat every plant you have...ornamental or food. Toxic to animals. If you pick one up (shudder) it will hiss and release a nasty substance.
@@suesmargiassi4195 idk the actual name but they'll definitely eat any green plant in it's path...until it's squished like the bug it is. Lol Idk about the nasty substance either...all I know is it will never eat another of my plants! Squash doing much better since I wrapped tulle around them, and lastly having to use the Sevin dust. Had red ants in some of my pinkeye purple hull peas too...ate the peas inside the shell! Anyway, Sevin dust worked it's magic again.
You keep on inspiring me, Patara. I'm not able to do a lot of huge things, but I'm doing what I can, every day. Thanks so much for your encouragement. It means a lot.
My daughter and her friends...all women, started a community family garden. For two years they have encouraged each other in learning to grow, harvest, can, freeze and dry food for their families. It has been a true blessing. This year they are getting hit with grasshoppers that are stripping their garden...even the fruit trees. Kansas.
Lets ( hop to it). My grandmother would have called that a token. She taught me to pay attention to those (signs) and act upon them. Thank you for sharing this, it brought back sweet memories. Love your potatoe patch and even though it is hard work, it is so worth the effort! All my best of prayers to you!
GOSH! I wrote and posted my note about my first thoughts and feelings. I had connected it to warnings being given to us...a "get your house in order immediately" type warnings! I am so glad that many others on here feel the same thing! We must heed those "harbingers". It feels so intense in my gut that.....I don't know how to explain it.
🦗🦗Grasshopper VS Locust HERE ;-) www.terminix.com/blog/education/locust-vs-grasshopper/
Wow. I read that. Very interesting.
I totally get what you're saying. I've been there. God guides and speaks/ shows things to me all the time good and bad. We don't listen enough. You're not crazy. HE gets are attention when we're open to HIM. Love ya sister.
Its so dry, we need a drink of sweet rain Jesus. Praying for you and everyone experiencing this. We just started getting dry here in Northeast MO.
I wonder if that grasshopper could have been a signal for you to find a way to have some kind of canopy put up over your garden to keep them out🤔 Note: someone noted in the comments that they used 'nolo bait' that save their garden from them. God Bless us 1 & all🙌🙏
When they are that big they are no longer grasshoppers.
They are locusts.
They are a sign.
Store accordingly
Folks, walk your property praying over it. Call those things that aren't yet as though they were. Speak life and safety, ...harvest, prosperity and love, joy, etc. Pray a hedge of protection to surronding your property and family, before its needed, so that it's done in heaven and earth if trouble ever does come your way.
Yes! Amen. Our SWORD is GOD'S WORD... Yes, put on the full Armor of CHRIST JESUS and keep it on!
Absolutely, thank you for sharing that advice. Amen 🙏
Prepare and prepare our hearts
In the Secret Garden of the Spirit❣️🙏 May we all find ourselves THERE ❣️ Much love from Scotland 🔥🙏 Iona
I like this, thank you!❤️
You're very blessed to have a husband who doesn't belittle the signs that you're given. God bless you & your family. 💜
Those are known as "signs" of things to come. We have lost that ability or rather been trained to ignore those signs and it has done us great harm doing so. More folks need to open up their minds and pay attention to things like your grasshopper. Trust your gut, it will never steer you wrong.
Discernment 🙏
AMEN 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Yep. We were just having this conversation with a friend a few minutes ago.
Yes I agree 👍
AMEN
Isaiah 30: 21. “Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, “This is the way; walk in it.” We need to be actively listening for His guidance and direction.
Back in the 70’s, when my six children were all little and I was harvesting my first garden, I clearly remember how happy I felt digging potatoes out of the ground with my children. My very first potato harvest. We were all laughing, so excited at the miracle of food dug out of the ground with our bare hands. Thank you, for reminding me of that memory.
That's a beautiful memory.
Lovely ✨
We in South Africa have struggled this past year with millions of "grasshoppers" in the Karoo and kalahari... It's scary to see what they can do to crops and pasture... It felt like a plague was sent to bring us to our knees. We have already struggled for years with a drought in these area's. Being obediant to God and prepaired is the best ways I can see us getting through these crazy times. Keep doing what you'all are doing! Stay strong and keep Faith!! AM
Prayers to you.
Sending my sincerest wishes for your healthy harmony and prosperity.
Praying for you and so many around the world listing to God’s still small voice!
🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼
Sending prayers to you 🙏❤️ from Los Angeles California
He will not leave us, or forsake us......pray without ceasing
🙏🙏🙏💞
Amen sister!✝️🙏❤
AMEN 🙏
Amen 🙏
I live on the upper Texas Gulf Coast and we have had literally thousands, I am not exaggerating, of grasshoppers. They are all sizes and all colors and they are eating everything, flowers, vegetables, anything green. Every time I open the gate to my garden and hear the sounds of thousands of grasshoppers chomping on my vegetables I am clearly getting signs and realize that it is time to prepare. Be Prepared!
I have lived here for 62 years and have never seen them do this before. I appreciate your channel, I feel less alone listening to you💜
Also from Texas, north of Austin. I’ve never seen so many grasshoppers before, they’ve basically eaten the garden and small trees over night out of nowhere, very odd and disheartening to see all the work be undone so quickly…
@@e85johnson68 I’m in Austin and they are here too
I saw a ton more than this year in 2001. You walk from the house to the car, you wore sunglasses to keep grasshoppers out your eyes. They were like a scourge then. Dry years cause for more grasshoppers. If wet during juvenile stage creates a mold on them and kills them.
@@theclanofone thanks for the reply, that makes sense since we’ve been so dry this year.
I'm in North Central Texas and have lots of grasshoppers. They have eaten up my only 2 green bean plants, that had survived out of the others, and now starting on my tomato plants. I have spread diatomaceous earth and they still keep coming.
My Grandfather used to tell me when I was a child to always listen to that “still small voice in your mind”. God speaks to us in so many ways. Hang in there Patera. Much love from Alabama.
And I 3rd that !😂😂💕
I watch your videos through my smart TV RUclips App, so I rarely respond to you videos. This one really moved me to get my phone so I could reply. I know exactly what you're expressing. In 2020, after 8 years of being in a caregiver lifestyle for my beloved first, then my sister-in-law and then my Mother-in-law. They each needed me during their final years and months. Then my disabled son who is a veteran had to come to live with me. I was tired, physically, emotionally and spiritually. I had been in college and had to finish after my husband passed. Two years, to the date of his passing, I took my last final exam. During an intense prayer time, I asked the Lord, for direction, guidance and wisdom in making a move. The voice (spirit of the Lord) that was so clear and so exact that I stopped and laughed out loud. I specifically asked, Lord, what do I do about moving, show me Lord, when, where do I go, how can I know for sure? The spirit immediately came... "The time is now. You will be moving before November."
That's when I laughed, Lord, that is impossible. I can't be ready to move that soon. It was already September. Listed the house, sold to first couple that came wo hours after it listed. Contract in hand in 3 hours. Closing date October 9th.
God speaks to those who are willing to hear his voice. I asked for 2 things, 1. a place in the country, 2. No mortgage.
He provided both through thd sell of my home. A mobile home was not my dream ... but it was an answer to my prayers.
Bless you for taking care of your dying relatives!
@@rhondajo3 please, In true sincerity, your thoughts are kind, but I didn't care for my dying relatives. I served, I loved, I enjoyed, I accompanied and I cherished life with my living relatives until their last breaths, they were living. Per my husband's words, for as long as I am breathing, I am alive. I am living with cancer, I am not dying with cancer.
@@gracehillgranny5445 Okay, you win! You win the "Put This on a T-Shirt" prize for the month of July. (Or, more accurately, your beloved husband, may he rest in peace, wins the prize but I'm giving it to you in his honor.) On the front: "As long as I am breathing, I am alive." And on the back, "I am living with cancer; I am not dying with cancer." Thank you for sharing your story. PEACE
On phone 24/7 definitely not in tune
BlessU for Ur Bravery & Obedience and sharing!!!
The Ant on you arm was the ending to your intuitions and went unnoticed. The parable of the "Ant and the Grasshopper" applys to us all daily and you are spot on with your concerns I think. Choose to be the ant and prepare or perish as a grasshopper.
Oh, your words just gave me goose bumps..🥰 🙏 🙏 🙏
I thought the same thing when she had the big ole ant on her arm!😊
So true
And extremely interesting that the ant showed up during filming of the message of the grasshopper.
We have watched A Bug’s Life several times lately! 😉
People don't seem to just walk around outside and notice things any more. This week I mowed the back part of my back yard for the first time this year. Near a couple of black walnut trees, there was a large area of oxalis flowers that had been pressed down and partly dying. My best guess is that some deer in the area consider my back yard a safe place to sleep. So I mowed around that area and left it as is. It was good to think that even the wild animals think my place is a refuge.
The locust is a harbinger of the plagues to come. Failed crops, farmers not planting, locusts and plagues. Your rational mind knows what the message is. We thank you for sharing. Not all of us have that connection. We rely on you for these messages.
Ears to hear 👂🏻
I thought of locust and the biblical plagues when I heard you talking about that large grasshopper
Yep, blessings and curses.
Yes! (Matthew chapter 24)
I thought immediately of scripture when she started talking about it. We need to fight against the enemy telling us is that really true. Remember what he said to Eve in the garden.
My Sister and I try to stay 2 to 3 years ahead. You never know when your crops can fail. You never know when the grasshopper or Locust could Eat EVERYTHING!
Thank you for sharing this. I left Orlando Florida in 1993, because of a warning like this.
Everyone keep working, watching your backs and praying. GOD bless
I know that voice. One time It spoke to me during the tornado that hit our town. It gave me comfort. Just Before the tornado was going to hit our house, the voice said "we got you" and the tornado jumped our house and landed in a nearby nature reserve. You are not alone. Listen to the voice. It will guide you. Stay humble and listen.
I want to share an experience similar to yours. We have something here in Utah called a case lot sale and it happens every 6 months. Just before covid hit was the time for the annual case lot. Monday came and I was impressed upon that night to go shop and get our food storage stock ups. Now usually I wait a few days to lilly nilly along and look at my pantry and make a inventory to know what we need. This is something we save up for because buying in bulk this way usually saves a good amount. Anyway the feeling was so strong that day that I told my hubby we needed to go that night and get our stuff. He wasn't super excited but went with me. We were able to get what we needed to last us the 6 months and a little longer because of previous purchases. The very next day on Tuesday every store put a 2 per customer limit on everything. That has stuck with me for these last few years that I evaluate and look at things to make sure we are preparing. I now have a new little grandbaby with weight issues and she is being put on a formula diet and once again I have been inspired to get cans of formula for her in my pantry before this happened and I am so glad I listened because her momma doesn't have to worry about the added expense of how to feed her baby. I hate that there are even limits on that but very chance I can I get one can to keep us stocked. God is always talking we just have to be listening to know what he is saying. He will send us messages when we need them. Blessings to all and good luck as you continue to prepare.
My dad has been gardening for 48 years. He messaged me a couple of weeks ago and told me the grasshoppers (as big as you described) came in and destroyed everything in no time. He said that was the end of his summer garden and that it was unusual so early in the year. ☹️ He’s in Texas.
I'm so sorry for your dad. I'm trying to see the beauty or message in what Patara is saying but we have tons of grasshoppers and all they do is destroy!
Years ago we would use them for fish bait. Now my chickens eat them.
Yes, in Texas the grasshoppers are eating everything but the weeds! It is so hot and dry here.
How sad for your dad😭
They show up in areas of drought. The locusts.
In the winter I was sitting and praying in front of my wood stove (about the future, etc.). When I looked in the stove, the wood had burned into the shape of a grasshopper, and a knot was the eye - super clear image. About a week later, there was a burned/dead fish looking piece of wood. I ended up telling my husband about it a few weeks later - I truly believe God gives us signs / warnings, we just have to pay attention, take action and not blow them off.
P
God tells us that in the last times that many, many people, including children, will be prophesying in these times. Keep speaking out on what God's giving you. Stay grounded in His Word, to stay in line with Him, and He'll give you more to speak on. 🙏🙏🙏
Amen! Yes!❤🙏✝️
Thank you! Thank you, for this video. I am in a season of my life where I have been having some resentment and jealousy of the freedom my other family members have right now. I am the care taker for my 95 yo dad and am trying to homestead and prepare. There are days when I want to throw in the towel, but you have helped remind me that this is my season and it is important and does take hard work and if I had more freedom from responsibility would I really be doing this? I need to be HERE, right HERE! ❤️
Many don't even know the Aesop fables anymore. They are so valuable. I used to read them every night to my children but that was 50 years ago. Parents need to read them NOW!
Also Grimm Fairy Tales.
I love it!! My dad used to read those to us too!! 🤓
@@Jeeprgirl do you plant the tiny one in the ground they will come bays next year
Try to find the OLD versions of Aesop's fables. In new versions, the ants let the grasshopper in and let him stay because they like the music he plays. 🙄
I use them in homeschooling and when someone needs to think about their choices
Listening to your inner voice, intuition, discernment or whatever it is you want to call it saved my great grandfathers life - my mum always told us how she recalled this event happening when she was a child - he was a merchant seaman on sailing ships in the 1930's, he left home to join a ship to sign up for several months sailing to the Pacific Islands - to his families surprise he came back home and said something told him not to sign up - that ship was lost at sea.
This video almost had me in tears because of talking about hearing God and listening to the guiding voices. Just recently, since I have become a believer in the past year and half, do I now know that the voice of God had been helping me to get where I am today. Starting in 2019 when we took the leap to leave NY for KY. and now to homeschool my children. I have "reasoned " myself out of homeschooling since the beginning of this past school year but after the school year completed I heard it like a deafening noise. I believe it's God leading me to that as well and I'm going to listen to him.
May the Father bless you and your children for your obedience. You are doing the right thing.
We use to call the big grasshoppers “Georgia Thumpers” it’s sounds like one of those……I believe the Lord is showing us lots of warning, in dreams, visions and instinctive discernment…. I’ll share part of a dream I had I was at my granny’s house in this dream and she had absolutely nothing in her fridge not even condiments. And she was hosting guests and she had her apron on and I remember saying “granny how are you gonna feed all these people with no food?” And I woke up thinking, what was that? And the only reason I believe I know it’s about famine is because the last time I had a dream that surrounded my granny’s house was in early 2020 and I was safe in my home in the dream and within 4weeks we were in quarantine over Covid. So I’m taking this seriously that famine is coming!…..Don’t worry what others think if your seeking God’s wisdom and guidance, he’ll give it to you. Keep it up Patara.
Thank you. Your encouragement has kept this 75 year old going in prepping.
I'm over in Oregon and I asked my husband about the grasshopper situation. His dad was a crop duster in eastern Oregon all his up bringing and he said they have a 15 year cycle. He remembers this happening when he was a youngster. As a reminder why we do what we do. Thanks for confirming exactly what I've been feeling today.
I think that 15 year lifecycle is locusts, not grasshoppers.
Greetings to you, I'm also an Oregonian from Portland 🙏
I’ve felt different all last week. Heaviness in my chest, I prep, I garden, I’m doing my part, but it’s like I’m being told to hurry and get it done, keep pushing, keep moving. I felt like I was going crazy. But I think it’s the good Lord pushing me to keep going.
It's a Blessing that you can hear the voice of God talking to you and that you have someone who will listen to you. I won't go into a self-pity party here, but there are many times I could have said I told you so to my husband but he still would have never understood. I quit taking it personal and just do what I have to do. Thank you for being here, you are also a blessing to us who want to know.
This video is concerning to me because I had something similar happen a few weeks ago. I was out watering my garden and saw a brownish/gray grasshopper that was about 2 inches big. Very different looking from others I’ve seen around recently. In my minds eye I saw huge swarms of these destroying crop fields. It freaked me out and I sprayed it with my hose, stomped on it and threw it to the chickens. I hadn’t heard about the locusts in Oregon until now so that’s a little freaky to me.
I just had to pop in this space to say, I was peeling potatoes the other day, that were purchased from the grocery, and I had that VERY feeling as I looked at the potato that was rotten on the inside. I appreciate you having the boldness to say these feelings you have, I have questioned myself in that feeling since. So appreciate your conviction and your willingness to share. The holy spirit is our heavenly helper and he is on the move in the land.
I know exactly what you are saying, I call it my knower…I know in my knower! I always feel it’s the Holy Spirit telling me.
Love that saying. Heard a preacher many years ago say, "Do you know in your knower?"
James is so supportive and trusts you. I wish there were more men like him!
I feel the same way. God is pushing me to get out of debt, budget, prep within that budget, keep my vehicles full of gas. Prepare to move which is scary honestly but I know it’s God telling us to downsize and prepare for the place he wants us to be. Discernment my friend is a gift
I wanted to let you know that after watching this yesterday today I saw a large grasshopper. It flew past my head as I was getting out of my car. I had just bought an older lady’s whole canning outfit as she and her husband was selling out to travel after retirement. I wasn’t sure about starting to can again and I felt like that was my sign that I was taking the right steps for my family. Thank you for your channel. I love it
Young lady you just spoke WISDOM. I was blessed by my grand daughter with a trip a few weeks ago to go to the ocean. I went...she paid for everything except my gas there and back. WE had a WONDERFUL time. I much needed that. When I returned home, my internet was out...my garden was full of wondertul food. I have worked the past few weeks picking and canning over 135 Quarts of beans of many kinds...salsa..jams...pickles and relishes and Potatoes and tomaotes. GOD allowed me to go...HE kept saying to me things will be fine while you are gone...ENJOY...when you get back WORK. And I have worked and I Enjoyed my trip. Sometimes the smallest of voices is the LOUDEST of sounds that WE ONLY HAVE TO LISTEN TO HEAR. GOD Bless you Dear and Keep doing YOU. GOD is with you and NO ONE can take Better care of you than HE!!!!.
I moved recently with the same inner urgency. It all came together in one week. When it’s God’s timing the whole thing is miraculous!
Your grasshopper story is interesting because I’ve one very large grey colored one that won’t leave one spot in my garden. I try to scare it away or turn the garden hose on it and it still won’t leave. I’m very spiritual and believe in signs and I’ve had the same premonition you’ve had. Things are coming that we have yet to see the worst of.
Funny you said this...I had the same thing happen last year in my garden...it was always in with my pumpkins..
That’s so amazing!,,
I think I'd put those sticky fly traps things around because I'm sure it doesn't like sticky things.
Check and see if it's laying eggs in your garden.
OMG. I experienced the things you mentioned. I accepted Jesus into my heart when I was 14. I have heard the Same voice. My husband thinks I'm crazy. Anyhow, I'm not good at remembering scripture but my Pastor did a test with the youth group and told us what our Godly talents were. Mine was discernment. I also remember him teaching one Sunday morning that when the end times approached he would reveal it to his church and everyone on earth who didn't know him would be wondering the earth as if a vail covered their eyes. When I got the Lords message to prepare. I listened.
Good afternoon Patera! May God keep us all. We are trying in our tiny garden to grow something. We had failed seeds but replanted. I prayed over it and to my SHOCK the next day or 2 I went out and saw sprouts. I had "VOLUNTEERS!!" We never had that happenned. I have cucumbers and squash from last year after TILLING AND digging etc. It was a true miracle! My first thought was you speaking about "volunteer plants! THANK YOU for all of your encouragement! I was about to give up at 2 points but you had 2 videos at the right time that kicked me back into gear!!
If you quit what have you gained?
we got a volunteer pumpkin when I used some soil (from a used seed tray where one didn't sprout) in my new grow bag. I told my hubby to save it and transplant the volunteer and I told him what a volunteer plant is. it's exciting when u get those! so happy for u that u got some volunteers too!
🙏
Yesterday my local Walmart told me I had exceeded the amount of allowed purchases. The cashier was very nice about it and had to get her manager to override her register. I paid for my items and she allowed me to then purchase my remaining items. She said it was because I was buying canned food and the government had placed limits on the amount of food items not a dollar amount. My wife and I were both shocked.
Where was that?
I don't know why people make comments like this and then don't at least tell what state they are in. 🤷♀️
Oh I believe it happened. I was just wondering where. Seems to me, limits are precursors to rationing.
Where is this???
Not sure about canned goods but some of the grocery stores here where I am in Va we have limit of 2 on lunch meats, paper goods, and other commodities
Thank you for sharing this with us. Lately I have had a deep sense of dread that something really bad is going to happen. God has spoken to me several times in the past like this and verbally like you described , but people have always felt I am crazy when I mention them so I rarely share these experiences with others anymore even though they always turn out to be true. It is nice to hear that others have similar experiences of God speaking to them in this way. So thank you for sharing with us.
It is hard to put into words isn’t it? I’ve had similar experiences and I know they were divine moments.
Agreed! Warned my husband that I had a terrible feeling about him riding his quad one day. A few hours later he was on Life Flight and almost died. When that feeling comes, listen.
I’ve been having this overwhelming feeling to find multiple/alternative food sources. This year is my first year gardening (learning from my mistakes and working on a Kate summer and fall garden). Just yesterday I was able to join a local CSA. Earlier this week I visited the farm of 1 of 2 farmers I get my produce and eggs from. I was able to get connected with a local rancher for beef and have another source for chicken. This morning I was chatting with the 2nd farmer I purchase from and she shared how the corn crop that she and her husband planted were destroyed by grasshoppers, but the commercial cornfields near her weren’t touched. She was thankful they only planted a small crop so it wasn’t as devastating. All that to say, thank you for stressing the importance of supporting our local farmers like yourself and encouraging us to stay busy. It can be overwhelming at times, but I know I’m not alone. ❤️🙏🏽
God speaks to us in more ways than one. And I, for one, am grateful that I have the opportunity to hear from those that have "a message" for me, whether it be from seeing a grasshopper or in a dream act. The key is, here, to listen. Thank you Patera. God is good.
Listening to words of wisdom is very important!
Grasshoppers are often symbols of famine, pestilence, divine judgment. I am totally convinced you have discerned accurately, Patara.
I am 50 years old. I have lived in the same county my entire life. I have never actually seen a squirrel hide it's food at all. About 2 months ago, a squirrel repetitively would come in the front yard and bury pecans and whatever else within mere feet of me. For a few weeks we saw this squirrel 'prepping' without regard to us being so close to him. I took this as a sign.
Wow !!!,,, that’s amazingly prophetic!!
He's telling you what to do. Listen to the squirrel.
My Grandmother told me that means that there is a really cold winter coming. Watch the horses' coats now and see if their winter coats come early and/or thicker.
I needed your message and reassuring ambiance. I've been made to feel lately like I'm "overreacting" but I feel this in my bones. I know God has put this sense of urgency upon me to prepare. Blessings!!
I listened to this video this morning after performing surgery on my squash and zucchini plants to evict vine borers. Moved on to pick green beans, cucumbers and tomatoes. Next on the list will be another herb harvest for the dehydrator. We’re taking a retail time out so I’m trying to preserve all that I can while the summer garden is in full production. My motivation is my grandchildren. I never want to have to answer the question “why can’t we have dinner tonight?”
Patara is always right on… haven’t found anyone else on RUclips that just makes watching worthwhile always. Either to laugh or learn a lesson - good wisdom always.
Hi, Yes, In Oregon we are having swarms of Mormon Crickets which are really grasshoppers that are huge going through farmers fields eating everything.
When they swarm across the highway (S. Idaho) the Hwy Dept puts up signs that say, "Highway slippery" because they are so thick!
Isn't it great to have people in your life, especially a partner, who trusts and believes in your instincts and intuition! Who knows you're not crazy. ❤ Thank you for sharing Patara.
Yes☺️
Two years ago we had a plague of grasshoppers here in BC, Canada.they ate everything in sight and they were very large. Last year we were fine but I have seen a few recently and I am feeling pretty concerned again. Reminds me of the biblical plague of locusts!
I have my garden all in grow bags, at the first sign of hail or grasshoppers, I am putting them in my 4 seasons room.
The stories were recorded as lessons to future generations.
I’m in BC, where were they?
Awesome 🦗♥️👍🥔 We moved to Upstate New York, from downstate. We built some raised beds and bought two. It’s our first time planting. We have a healthy garden going now! We have 3 different types of potatoes (ate some already) lettuce, broccoli, squash, cucumbers, tomatoes, wild flowers and peppers. Great feeling, and relaxing. I’m 62 now and appreciating every moment.
God is like peat moss ♥️🙏♥️ Thanks for sharing your experiences.
Interesting timing, I was working in my tomatoes this morning and saw the first grasshopper I've seen in a very long time. I too thought about the scriptures and the crops and all the things we are now seeing. Signs are everywhere and it's time for people to wake up!
To hear gods words or to see his signs you must be in his word, I use to to study gods words everyday and with no thought heard his voice directing me,over the past few years I have slipped in this area and definitely do not hear that strong nudge anymore, reminder to hear gods voice you must stay in his word! love you Petera!
Our Creator has ways to send us warnings and red flags. Thanks for being a watch woman on the wall. Have been following your advise as I’m able. GOD is good!
Yes HE is!!!!
I want to thank you from the bottom of heart. You have given me so much hope and encouragement. I am a newbie at this stocking up and canning pairing a pantry. Forgive me if my grammar is not the best I am in tears 0 at this moment. I have been listening to different homesteaders and other people, reading paying attention to exactly what you’ve been saying listen to that still small voice. You just confirmed everything I have been feeling for at least the last three years or better. I came home to take care of my mom . She died last July 2 and all this time I have been away from my family in Kansas. I have had the feeling as you say in my Gut to can and store for at least the last three years especially when Covid hit. My husband finally got on board and has been helping as well. I thank you so much for your testimony of your Savior. I think you sharing your family and your life here on RUclips. The Lord put me onto you and several other RUclipsrs with your precious information and knowledge that you share with us every day. Not sure where I’m going with this other than your story touched my heart and my soul so I know it’s true just wanna say thank you for everything.
The "Signs" are there....we just need to listen.....Thank you Patara ❣️
Those who aren't open to anything beyond themselves will never understand. Those who have experienced those moments don't really need an explanation.
My opinion~ this is one of your most powerful messages! Thank you for being brave enough to share with the rest of us "crazies."
In 2018 I had a similar experience. My brother and I were driving on I-5 in western Washington state. There was a semi truck and trailer just ahead of us in the next lane. All of a sudden there was a sense of commotion and a big black object came flying/tumbling from under the semi. At first I thought it was a large garbage bag and then I saw the white head and recognized that it was a fully mature bald eagle. A short way further we saw a car had pulled over and the driver was checking for damage. It shook me to my core and I couldn't shake the feeling that it was a sign of what was coming. I'll never forget that day.
Glory to God! This video gave me confirmation that I needed to keep on preparing, after wrestling with new doubts and then praying to Him for assurance (after a close family member attempted to dissuade me LAST NIGHT). Thank you for your faithfulness to Him (and to us!). :)
Hi Patara, about a month ago I had an encounter with a hummingbird. I was coming outside onto my porch with my dog. It was not quite dusk, when this black hummingbird with a big brilliant red throat stopped in midair only about 3 ft from me. My dog froze, as did I. It scanned us both, moving it's head mechanically/robotic like, across us, like it was mapping us. As it turned it's head, there was a sound, almost like a tiny motor. Maybe it was just coming from the wings or throat but it sounded mechanical to me.. It remained looking at us for about 30 seconds. Now mind you, I'm not a hummingbird expert, but this didn't seem natural to me. I was kind of frightened by the experience and couldn't make sense of why I was having an eerie feeling about such a beautiful creature. I thought maybe it was a drone and this made me feel paranoid! I'm not sure what happened, but hearing your story about the grasshopper, brought me a little bit of strange comfort. 🦗
I have hummingbirds do that as well but I take it as them recognizing me as their safe source :) now the dragonflies that follow me everywhere- they kind of creep me out lol. if I stop, they stop...and we just watch each other lol
I have heard that there are drones of hummingbird and even cocaroach. 😳
@@zanniezanner6217 remember the g(ee) force movie. Look up hive mind.
I've seen a yt, neverlosetruth channel, 5 yrs ago in SC she filmed a housefly indoors, it literally had a flashing light on it's back and flew strangely. I think these things are drones. Scary times
This reminds of things my grandfather tried to teach me when I was a kid. It was kind of hard to learn it all not living on farm like he did when he was young. One thing he told was keep an eye on the land because the land will tell you things, and people have become to complacent and comfortable.
My grandfather would have loved this channel and would tell me and anyone else who would listen to act accordingly and keep busy.
Thanks for this..my inner voice and signs have told me much. Your story resonates with me. There are many signs now. Your potatoes look great. My husband is disabled but we still do as much as possible. Our garden is looking good. Last year nothing grew here. I told my husband I was not doing all of that again...then the prices went through the roof...we can do some vegetarian meals if the prices get too high or even just cut back the portions of meat...which we have done drastically over the lady five years. I still work hard , but I remember the days we were your age and could work like that for hours and hours. TAKE CARE...GOD HAS THIS IF WE ALL USE COMMON SENSE TO DO OUR PART. MUCH LOVE.
One bright day in late autumn a family of Ants were bustling about in the warm sunshine, drying out the grain they had stored up during the summer, when a starving Grasshopper, his fiddle under his arm, came up and humbly begged for a bite to eat.
"What!" cried the Ants in surprise, "haven't you stored anything away for the winter? What in the world were you doing all last summer?"
"I didn't have time to store up any food," whined the Grasshopper; "I was so busy making music that before I knew it the summer was gone."
The Ants shrugged their shoulders in disgust.
"Making music, were you?" they cried. "Very well; now dance!" And they turned their backs on the Grasshopper and went on with their work.
There's a time for work and a time for play.
Thank you for being a watchman on the wall… and having the courage to speak.
Good morning y'all. Always looking forward to my favorite southern Tennessee gal. Just finished canning some potatoes and a few quarts of pickled onions. Started reading up on fermentation. Looks easy enough especially with some great homestead channels. Always keep busy and while we are at it, give God the glory for everything Good or Bad. Let's be thankful. Love ❤️ ya Patera.
My youngest son did a batch of pickled small Vidalia onions and they are in the fridge....we are afraid to.try them
@@r.a.l.1898 why are you afraid to try them?
Fermenting is very easy. Just make sure everything is very clean and that all your veggies are below the brine so they don't mold. Go for it. You will be pleased.
@@r.a.l.1898 Haha, really can't go wrong on those. Put them on your burger, give him praise and you have a young helper in the garden and kitchen for life. If they don't too hot, give him that tiny hint on tweaking it next time.
@@NaturalLivingHomesteader thanks, I bought an antique brine crock in Amish County, and watched some videos.
He speaks to those who listen. Thank you for sharing your heart with us.
Patara, I am a intuitive....the grasshopper sends you the message to keep jumping forward, keep working, to tell others to keep going....and you have been doing this. Trust this leap of faith.
I too did what you did. I fled the city with my husband and set up a homestead. We warn people, we teach people, we try to encourage. You are on the right path.❤❤
Beautiful!!🤗🤗
I'm way up in Northern Minnesota. The weather has been whacky. My doubts have been on weather or not my gardens will come through. I was planting beans when a huge grasshopper landed on the edge of my garden box just feet away from me. I haven't seen one in years here. My guts told me this garden could be all in vein. I took some of my savings and went to the grocery stores to stock up on all the vegetables and fruits we have hope to do well this year in our own gardens. It too had an impression on me to see that critter. It made me in force my concerns to our nine children to prepare. Thank you for all you do for us Patara.💖
OMG!! The same thing happened to us in AZ! It was probably around May as well. It was about 2 inches big. My 8 yr old captured it for a few minutes in to observe it and when we released it, it refused to leave! It only flew a few feet toward the top of our house. I even told my kids the same thing. That these were locusts!!! I took a picture of this dude also. It was a strange surreal feeling for me as well. I wish to God that I could've moved to a homestead, but God brought us from CA right before Covid hit to AZ. I would not have survived emotionally in CA during Covid!! I also thank God that I've found you on here, you have helped me ALOT. God pushes us towards like-minded people and helps us help each other. God bless you.
I shared some things with my mom that the lord showed me 8 years ago…she told me not to tell people because they would think I was crazy, we are living now seeing now what I told mom, and we got ready for what is coming…that is how I was woke up from sleep in December when I was told to get home start your gardens stop trucking and get your gardens going now…I said but I don’t have everything yet…was told work with what you do have and go home now…so I did just that and so glad I am making my gardening mistakes now while I am stocked to the rafters than making them when hungry and no food
Always listen to your intuition & what signs you see. It’s not crazy, it’s just being in tune with the universe.
I had my "grasshopper moment" last week. That thing was huge!! But it was a reminder of how fast things you take for granted can be gone. It also reminded me Who is in charge. Thank you for sharing your grasshopper moment!
I’ve been working my butt off too-Patara you encourage me that I’m not alone & not crazy-because in my “world” I’m the only one I know doing all this
Great message today. Obedience is better than sacrifice. It’s one thing to hear His voice, but we have to act upon what he tells us. I’m lecturing to myself.
Good afternoon everyone 😌
Right now I'm working gotta get home so I can take care of garden chickens and cook. You know it's tiring but lately I had the feeling of being so blessed 🥰 Thank you for the how much you care about US❤️
😕 😞 I've got a counter full of tomatoes waiting on me. And a big basket of patty pans to deal with. I feel you.
Swiss chard...daikon greens...❤
I just watched your video and talking about the grasshopper sent chills down my spine. I wish I could send you a picture of the grasshopper I saw about a week ago. I couldn't believe it. In my heart I knew something wasn't right about it. And then I see your video. I can't do much but do what I can. I have been trying to get my family involved and have to a very very small degree. I'm 68 and I said to myself "What can I do?" And I said, "The best you can and pray." 💖 Thank you Patara
We love y’all. Because of that voice I moved from Texas to Alaska 7 years ago. My life and family’s life are better for it. Keep being the blessing you are. Love from Alaska my sister.
Yep, Be still and know that I am God. I was in my garden one day just picking beans. My soul and my mind were fighting. (I had lost four brothers and my mom in three years). I heard the sound of a dove, look up and there was one sitting on the fence six feet away. It just sat there looking at me cooing. I just stared at it for 15 minutes. That was very unusual for a dove to sit in one place that long and close. In my soul I heard the word peace, peace every time it cooed. My soul was given peace. I started healing from then on. God sends what you need when you need it if you just listen. Thought it was cool that you saw the grasshopper and today there was the ant crawling. My momma used to tell us the story of the grasshopper and the ant. God bless and continue to listen to that voice.
AMEN! God works in mysterious and marvelous ways...for those that listen, pay attention, and follow His directions! Thank you for sharing
the marvelous story, wake-up call and message from our Lord!!!
Always listen to your intuition. We were in Chattanooga the end of May for my birthday, just walking and felt like we just needed to go back to hotel….like now. We walked back got in our room heard gun shots….we love rural and know gun shoots, then sirens. Turns out teens shooting at each other over something stupid two blocks from hotel, several injured. Could have been us.
I can't tell you how much this means to me that you shared this...thank you. I understand why you are emotional as the confirmations came in even as you are sharing. Every word you have spoke about is truth. When we realize we understood God is speaking to us is very impactful. Much love and blessings to you😘
I had this happen to me yesterday as I was walking out to my garden. The large grasshopper flew over my French and into the garden. I immediately remembered your video. It moved too fast to get a picture however today, July 4th, I'm sitting in my yard trying to relax and a wasp lands on the underside of my lawn chair. In it's grasp is a grasshopper. I got a picture of that but could post it here. I felt like God was giving a reassurance that He's got us. Prepare for sure but know He's for us. Happy Independence Day!
There's giant swarms of crickets in Montana and Oregon right now. God bless you and your family 💞
Isn't that a typical thing, though? I'm in Idaho and every 5-ish years or so we get swarms of mormon crickets in our area.
@@HHB884 crickets eat grasshopper eggs. Natural life cycle.
Central Montana, the spray planes are flying...the hoppers are really thick right now. But the crops are doing ok overall.
I'm in Virginia and we normally don't really see crickets till later...maybe September or October. Is this time of year normal for you out there to see them? If it was here I'd say wow they're early this year!
@CAROLYN SCILLEY well, rattlesnakes would be the WORST!
I love it Patera, what a beautiful way you are flowing with life. Your approach sounds normal and natural to me and let’s not discount courageous too. What a blessing to married to someone like James who recognizes your discernment and ability to receive guidance as you do. Unfortunately all I get is eye rolls which is the main reason I value your channel so much as it encourages me to keep going. I also really enjoy spending time with you even if only on line. Thanks for all you do.
I love this comment!
A very old childhood story book. Called (the grasshopper and the Ant). I have my grandmother's reader . I had to look it up. Yep it was there, the story of the grasshopper and the Ant. Now this would be in the Great Depression when this was written. So I would heed what she is saying. Yes a warning
Patara I totally understand the whole concept of listening to God. If you listen you will be blessed to no end. The last 5 years hubby and I have done the things God has wanted us to do and we are now in a good position to survive whatever comes our way.
Great message today, Patara!
I too have seen huge ginormous grasshoppers this year. I was told they're "normal" for these N. FL woods, but they're huge this year. It's like they were given Thorium or another radioactive isotope. They decimate every green plant around if you don't stay ahead of the game.
These buggers are approx 3 inches long with a red stripe down its side..... they're HUGE! I've caught them in my small garden, and I stomp them dead! My squash plants had been decimated by these things (3 I know for sure) chewed the squash leaves down to a nubs. Like I said, we stomp them dead usually, but I finally had to break out the Sevin dust, only after I had wrapped tulle around the plants so the grasshoppers couldn't get to my plants. I absolutely hate I had to use Sevin dust...EVER...but gotta do what I've gotta do to save my crops.
Since being told these grasshoppers were "normal" I never tied it to Biblical Prophecy, although I knew IT WAS COMING SOON. Since seeing Dahboo777's post about the Mormon Grasshoppers the other day, and now your video, I can only say, IT IS TIME IN GODS TIMELINE for these things to come to pass.
CERN is bringing the fallen angels, demons, Titans, Giants, NEPHILM thru the veil this weekend. IT IS TIME!
Thanks again for the great message today, and for all you do to keep us informed, Patara. God bless you, Sister. Don't get too hot out there, stay hydrated, and keep telling your TRUTHS, Sistagirl. ~penney
Yes, I heard that CERN is doing something big on July 5, and I believe they are opening up more dark portals. We must pray for God's protection as these demons are unleashed, and I believe many who are not believers have no idea what is coming!
@@christinelamb1167 bring it! I’m ready!!
It's a lubber grasshopper. Will eat every plant you have...ornamental or food. Toxic to animals. If you pick one up (shudder) it will hiss and release a nasty substance.
@@suesmargiassi4195 idk the actual name but they'll definitely eat any green plant in it's path...until it's squished like the bug it is. Lol Idk about the nasty substance either...all I know is it will never eat another of my plants!
Squash doing much better since I wrapped tulle around them, and lastly having to use the Sevin dust. Had red ants in some of my pinkeye purple hull peas too...ate the peas inside the shell! Anyway, Sevin dust worked it's magic again.
I live in Kansas and have been using baking powder on my plants due to the grass hoppers eating my chops.
I'm praying over the land
You keep on inspiring me, Patara. I'm not able to do a lot of huge things, but I'm doing what I can, every day. Thanks so much for your encouragement. It means a lot.
My daughter and her friends...all women, started a community family garden. For two years they have encouraged each other in learning to grow, harvest, can, freeze and dry food for their families. It has been a true blessing.
This year they are getting hit with grasshoppers that are stripping their garden...even the fruit trees. Kansas.
The Japanese knife is my new favorite gardening tool! I installed 2 50foot x4foot rows of flowers with that knife only! I’m in love with that knife!
You are a very intuitive and nature sensitive person. What a wonderful gift. You’re the messenger….warning us and teaching us. Thank you
Yes she is very intune!
Lets ( hop to it). My grandmother would have called that a token. She taught me to pay attention to those (signs) and act upon them. Thank you for sharing this, it brought back sweet memories. Love your potatoe patch and even though it is hard work, it is so worth the effort! All my best of prayers to you!
GOSH! I wrote and posted my note about my first thoughts and feelings. I had connected it to warnings being given to us...a "get your house in order immediately" type warnings! I am so glad that many others on here feel the same thing! We must heed those "harbingers". It feels so intense in my gut that.....I don't know how to explain it.
Amen! 🙏 God is warning His people, it’s heartbreaking how many don’t see what coming. Thank you for sharing Jesus!!! 💪🙏❤️
Thank you for all you do for us and your community ❤️
Thank you for the message. We sometimes get caught in a dark hole that it is hard to get out of. This helped.
