Q: How are we going to be able to pay our property taxes in the time of trouble?
A: For us to take care of every possible danger in the future may be an impossibility. Furthermore, if we look for giants of difficulties in the future we may not enter where God wants us to enter.
Practically speaking, I understand that the government does not knock on your door on the day that your taxes are not paid. In fact, the land that we are on presently, before we leased it the taxes had been in arrears for over a year without threat to the owner of losing his property. I understand that in some cases it is years before you would actually lose your property for not paying taxes. Considering the challenges that governments will be having during the time of trouble, auctioning off people’s properties for unpaid taxes will likely be very low on the schedule of priorities, at least for awhile (especially if auction buyers – especially for remote properties – are few and far between and very little income is netted as a result.)
We definitely would not want anyone to delay doing what the Holy Spirit is calling them to do because of an apparent obstacle such as this. We can rest assured that there are going to be plenty of obstacles in our way to do His will, but we must continue the path on which He is leading. We should not allow obstacles, and certainly every potential obstacle we can imagine in advance, to freeze us in our position.
