Thoughts on creating a RURAL COMMUNITY vision, Proverbs 29:18 "Where there is no vision, the people perish"

Can I get a witness? Can I get an Amen? Or best of all tell me generally about your community experience and vision... where we have overlap and commonality and differences as well.

Philippians 4:8 "Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things."

Can I get a witness? Can I get an Amen? Or best of all tell me generally about your community experience and vision... where we have overlap and commonality and differences as well.

my vision begins with language, and finding common ground....


the 21st century has led our lives to be an 'open' book....as well as quick access for understanding history....


and finding the true nature of souls....

Another recommendation to knit a community together is communication links. Radio operations are essential... everything from walky talkies to ham radios to cell phones and having rendezvous points established for certain contingencies.

I Thessalonians 5:17 tells us to "Pray without ceasing."

As I have grown older in body but renewed in spirit this has rung more and more true.... spontaneously on nature hikes dropping to my hands and knees (grounding if you will) to more of the source or praying throughout the day.

Souls have a way of revealing themselves over time.... understanding history is crucial as being grounded in history gives one a vision for the future.

I carry a coin from Roman times in my wallet to ground back to that history so to speak.... as well as colonial era coins... great conversation pieces as well....

very inspiring . thank you .

great insights thank you i am going to try some of that placement of pictures etc

I think of the sermon of Christ describing the Kingdom of God and it's being at hand.... perhaps a vision in our mind actualized into reality of the present!

Where I now live in the country folks help each other so much! I've had multiple people help me set up electrical for what was a homestead in a virgin forest, plumbing help, gardening and animal advice, etc etc.

So many people have blessed us in the country so much it's almost overwhelming... we left the city on faith... let the house go back to the banksters (a section 8 welfare home rendered mine unmarketable due to the blight created a few doors down)

Folks operate on a barter or "pay if forward" karma system if you will.... love keeps no account with so many I live near and I want to make sure I'm not taking advantage to helping neighbors... you can't imagine trying to give stuff back as compensation to helping hands that just blessed me that refuse it.... tis better to give than to receive.

Have faith though... if God is calling you out of the city in decay (babylon) make the move today! Don't wait! Time is growing too short!

Keeping chickens and a hen house should be a must for everyone. The great depression of the 1930's was an era when many had chickens (protein source)

Again.... being outside the city is self preservation here.

The kingdom age coming to the earth (1000 years of rest, binding up of evil) still seems to speak of parallel societies that exist in tandem on the earth well into the future.... Christian community and those who live outside the walls and gates New Jerusalem.

Revelation 22:14 Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.

15 For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.

Again, trust is critical to cementing a community. A common basis of law... (commandments) and their observance will also provide the moral code.
