AMEN BROTHER All Thanks, Praise, Glory and Honor goes to FATHER GOD IN JESUS NAME AMEN AND AMEN 😊❤ Even each other and for GOD allowing us to come to know HIM. FATHER GOD Bless you all Brother IN JESUS NAME AMEN AND AMEN 😊❤
Wonderful message. We have all been given talents and gifts by our creator. When we do what we love, share what we love, we are building a family together. You talk about local community and the RUclips community? It's all the same for me. It's learning and sharing with each other as we grow our knowledge to do the things that call to us and that brings us joy. Keep doing what you are doing, if it is something that brings you joy. Does it bring you joy to share/teach? If the answer is yes then you are giving the gift of sefl sufficiency to so many. Much love to you all.
Psalm 103:2 ❤✌🏾❤✌🏾❤ Thank you for sharing God’s Words…. I am a backyard homesteader and so grateful for God’s Blessings and benefits 🙏🏾 keeping myself humbled allows me to know where my Blessings come from. Self-sufficient?? Is a lie
Well self sufficient is if you don't have other sources you can still survive on some basics you can do . Yes as you say trading buying selling bartering is nice but survival is a Blessing too and peace of mind . God Bless !!! Good channel !
Get started our off grid homestead in Northern Maine! Right off the bat we were thrown a curve ball. I had a heart attack but the lord said it wasn’t my time so we’re going to stay on the path. We’re going to try to be as self sufficient as we possibly can!
Although many of us like to be more reliant on what we can do for ourselves, we were not created to be alone. "But woe to him who is alone when he falls and has not another to lift him up!" We are meant to have community just as much as we were meant to have a partner.
I love the emphasis on gratitude, we should always be grateful for what others, and God, provides for us. The idea of self-sufficiency can also be discouraging, when you are striving to be part of a homestead community and your efforts fall short.
I loved this message. Everything good comes from the Father, even the buildings. He created the person or people who made these. He gave them the ideas and ability to do it. He created the chickens, pigs cows, etc. and he gave the farmer the mind to raise them as well as how to grow food. We are truly never self sufficient because we are fully sufficient on God. I think we get so caught up in what WE do, that we forget to give thanks to the One who gave us the ability to do it. Thank you for reminding us that we need to rely on God for everything in our life!
I started saving money on the supermarket to increase my expenses on Tractor Supply at the same rate. So I haven't moved the needle... but I have a lot more fun now.
Me to you right I been there alot of years raised 6 kids and grew about 10 acres of food for family we still had to buy a lot of stuff to can buy some bantam chickens they set on eggs good mothers
Self sufficiency is through the mercy of God and pray without ceasing. It takes a lot of work being isolated and not being reliant is an impossible task in most cases because of the dependency of certain things in this life. We can only do the best we can and pray for God to provide when we need him the most. The pioneers had less and somehow it worked for them and many died over it. Just be hopeful of what God gave us these bodies to nuture and bless our temples through being wise. In the Bible for fasting is important for us. We have learned things that are not supported Bibically and we need to de-program ourselves for lies like eating three meals a day. It is about real community of people that can see that the Lord has given us blessings and care for one another like Jesus would.
Similar to the argument that people who "settled the west," did it through grit, when it was really the Homestead Act from the Government and the thousands of US troops that "cleared" the west so "settlers" could be given land and the "security" to start their lives.
To me self sufficient means being less dependent on the global market and more local, self sufficient homesteading, woods for a stove vs dependent on only electric on-grid solution, have back up plans when things go wrong. Like a power outage or good shortages. That type of self sufficient, its about being more reliable on your own, not dependent on the grid, or some outside power you cant control.
Self-sufficiency is not a destination, it's a journey of intent. You start doing a few things for yourself (eg: buying starts and growing a few plants) to reduce external dependencies. Over time your skills improve and you gradually take on more tasks that you previously did not. This moves your towards self-sufficiency, but you are never entirely self-sufficient. The importance of local and inter-dependent community cannot be over-stated. You will not know ahead of time what there will be a shortage of. If there's a shortage of veggies and you've mastered growing veggies and seed-saving, you'll be in a strong position. But if there's a shortage of chickens and you haven't yet mastered that, you'll remain dependent, and may have to do without. It's a matter of perspective and reduced dependency.
Yes....SELF sufficiency is not achievable. First, we rely on God...without Jesus, we are nothing. God gave Adam a helpmate....even before they chose to sin.....a helper shares the work and the joy. It is impossible to be truly self sufficient, especially in the world we live in. That's ok. We rely on Jesus. Most of us are trying to segregate ourselves from governmental control, the contaminated food sources offered to the masses, and the full reliancy on the systems that are getting further away from Godly values. We are trying to hold on until Jesus comes to take us out of this evil world. I believe that's going to happen very soon. Maranatha! Until then....keep relying on Him and other faithful believers.....and spread the gospel because time is running out! Love your testimony! God bless!
I love the way you think. So much of the homesteading movement is rooted in an antisocial, arrogant perspective on the universe, the "prepper" belief that a time is just around the corner (funny how it keeps being just around the corner, year after year after year) when civilization as we know it will collapse and only those who have isolated themselves with just their own nuclear family will survive. Some of them seem to me to be eagerly looking forward to seeing their neighbors starve, or better yet having an excuse to shoot their starving neighbors to protect their own stash. There always seems to be very little humility or gratitude in that approach. I like that you are grateful both to the big-C Creator and to little-c creators who make your acts of creation possible. Preach it, brother! Let whoever has ears, hear!
You need to get into Freesteading. It's closer to Self Sufficiency than most people will get. When you are out and about doing your thing, stop at that alley, grab that stuff that's getting thrown away. The corners you can cut with free things is amazing and people are more than glad to throw it away. The more sufficient the self is, the more you can afford to give back to the community. It will never be 100% but it makes a huge difference to mindset not to be indebted to others outside of regular obligations (mortgage, car payment, student debt). I still have debt and mortgage to pay off before I can homestead. I'm still planning this stuff out and thinking of contingencies. IDK where God wants me next, city has limitations. I do know that my new coop when I move shouldn't be the same price as my mortgage. For now I got backyard hens laying eggs I don't even use (they keep laying in hard to reach places) and I don't mind sharing them. I ended up giving a several dozen away to neighbor. All I ask is if you want to pay, there is a feed store down the road. 10.40 for strach, 14 for basic layer which isn't bad for the limited number I can have. Get me bags or scraps from your job, you can have all the eggs you want. I don't eat them, until I do. I need eggs cooked a certain way and im bad at cooking then eat alot when I do. I just like having them around for the utility of keeping the pests down and providing food. Don't have a garden yet but we got a good size front yard and maybe the neighbors if they lower the price and sell their 1/4 acre to us. If we can get a more productive yard going, that brings down the cost of the hens. They love over producing summer squashes.
And this is how towns and cities came to be. Being truly self sufficient means hard times. Hard work. Going without and lots of resources. This is why humans generally have evolved to live the way they do. Hard to wind back the clock.
I just want to be able to live without being in egregious amounts of debt and be able to live without paying money nonstop that I have to worry about where it will go. So owning a home, and growing at least most of my own food. If I'm able to do that though, I'll never stop being thankful for everything that got me there because currently? I'm not sure I'll ever manage it. I am in college right now and despite 12,000 dollars a semester in scholarships I'm already 8,000 dollars in debt after only two semesters. So to me the idea of self sufficiency is wonderful because it would mean I'm not in debt, and not reliant on giant banks and the government to not starve. But I'll always be thankful to my parents who, despite their own financial struggles, at least made sure I made it through high school with good enough grades to get merit based scholarships.
It's takes a lot of work, and you shouldn't listen to these people, by a know it all book wrote by Carla Emory call farm life recipes try to get the first edition, covers everything, the good the bad and the ugly, step by step, most of these channels have no clue what they're doing, they're still paying there way through it, they never raised animals, some get hurt badly, they have no experience culling, timing,or breeding to restock their animals or treating sick animals, or keeping animals from incest breeding, you need to know these things, how to tell male from female because some of these animals mate for life, kill the wrong ones,there goes your stock, people this year I'll be finishing my homestead and I think I will open a real homestead school, not one of these people have drilled their own well, not digging one but drilling one with no out side help, some much to learn about how we did years ago, just saying, not dissing any one of them but most are not that smart about it.
It doesn’t make sense to be 100% self reliant. Example you need an ax you could get metal even for free then craft a handle but it would take many days to pound the metal into shape and carve a branch but i can work for 1 hour at a job and buy an ax. I have a 50-56 ft garden and about 3 dozen chickens. Im by no means self sufficient but i do produce alot of what I consume.
I consider myself doing what the Lord told me to do, Adam was created why? To tend the garden of Eden and the animals , getting back to what we were intended to do walking with the Lord in the garden, speaking to him about everything as nothing is to big or to small it builds the relationship with the Lord, my life, property, job, home, chickens , garden everything came from the Lords blessings he gave me the health and stamina to get it built, opened the door for me to get the land. Self sufficient? Oh heck no this as for me it is all the Lord Almighty who I give complete credit and thanks he is good always .
Ive seen a lot of off gridders on youtube saying their self sufficient and then a year later saying its not fir them.. they sell their property, move or have electric and water installed.. its not fire everyone..
True self sufficient living was Adam and Eve….anyone on RUclips is not such… Let’s just do the best we can in the times we Live…. You use Henhouse Reserve? Do you find they don’t eat everything in the mixture?
Note you have no building experience, no wood working experience, you were domed to fail , yes you do have start up cost, youtube to make money come guy raising bee's i know looking at your farm it's a failure, I'm 64 and put you young people to same, think I'll start a youtube channel to educate you want bes , it's hard work and you must be consistent with ever aspect of your jobs and see problems before they happen, well enough I'll shut up,got questions leave a reply and I'll find away to answer decently.
Don’t Jesus mention that you need to help one another, due to your neighbor as you want to be treated ? Mateo 6:12 bible, It means that we all need help in our lives !! Best regards 👍 brother

I think we can all relate to that!
