Regarding tent selection, because this is a public blog I feel I must qualify any statements here. I have not recommended that anyone go out and purchase a tent. I am proclaiming a surrendered life where each individual is being led by the Spirit in the things they do.

There may be a very real need in coming days for people to have some sort of portable shelter. Many will no doubt have to flee the cities, or follow the Lord into places that shelter is lacking.

In each instance, I believe it is important for the individual to be guided by the Spirit in these preparations. I have been provided a small camper/van by the Father, but I cannot tell others they should go purchase the same. This was Yahweh's provision for me.

For a season it was the Father's will that I dwell in a tent, and I own a couple of tents at this time. The tent that the Father led me to dwell in was not one chosen based upon its features. It was simply the one Yahweh chose for me, and it was given to me at no cost.

Yahweh will also have a specific provision for you. I encourage you to wait upon the Father, asking Him to guide you in this matter.

Thank you for writing. I can understand your concern over the fact that I do not post all comments. The comments on this blog are moderated, and I do not post them all. The Parables Blog is not a forum, it is a teaching website. I do have many concerns about Christian forums, which I have expressed in the following article:

http://www.heart4god.ws/id357.htm

I have always moderated the comments on the blog. As you have stated that your comments have been positive, but were not posted, it is evident that I am not excluding only those posts that are negative.

The reasons I do not post some comments are varied. Some contain doctrinal error, and I do not wish to perpetuate it, and did not feel that a public rebuttal was the best way to handle it.

Others are written by people who are careless in their communication. They are soulish, rather than spiritual, and would not benefit the readers of this blog.

Some are off the point, and would be a distraction to the reader. It is important that after a person reads a blog that their thoughts remain focused on what the Spirit is conveying. Some comments lead away from the central message are are therefore a distraction.

Some comments are simply unnecessary. I see little value to the saints in them being posted.

Some people use the comments field as their own personal forum to convey a message that is clearly antithetical to the teachings of the blog owner. My advice to them is to write their own blog where they can gather a following that thinks they way they do.

Many people write things anonymously that they would not write if they put their names on them. I am not always led to post anonymous comments due to a lack of accountability on the writer's part.

At times I do post comments that seem to have little benefit to others, but I have judged that some person needed to express publicly their own commitment to following Yahshua. Such things are a judgment call.

Overall, in most cases I do post people's comments unless something in me sends up a flag. There are no hard and fast rules on this. I seek to be led of the Spirit in this matter.

It is not my intent to offend people by not posting their comments, but neither am I seeking to please men above God. I hope you will understand.

May you be blessed with peace and understanding in these days.
