Europe has banned all Medicinal Herbs. Now what?

Earlier I came across this really interesting blog which discussed herbs, homesteading, and natural health, yet it informed me of some very upsetting news. The UK has banned all medicinal herbs unless otherwise prescribed by a registered herbal practitioner. I am not going to go into semantics as to what all this will entail, you can google all of this information up and take necessary precautions.

The sad thing is that anything happening in Europe means it is only a matter of time before it is due to sweep the U.S. and this is not good. Wanting to make sure this claim was indeed accurate I looked it up and it was confirmed by quite a few sources.

After I read these articles, it was really starting to make my heart heavy. But then I thought to myself "Wait, Lord, you are greater than all. Surely you will make provision for us." Seeking encouragement I grabbed my bible and looked up scriptures with the words "Famine" and "Pestilence" in them. There were two scriptures that really stood out to me and gave me hope.

"You shall not be afraid of the terror by night,
 Nor of the arrow that flies by day,
 Nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness,
 Nor of the destruction that lays waste at noonday.
     
 A thousand may fall at your side,
 And ten thousand at your right hand;
 But it shall not come near you.
 Only with your eyes shall you look,
 And see the reward of the wicked.
     
 Because you have made the LORD, who is my refuge,
 Even the Most High, your dwelling place,
 No evil shall befall you,
 Nor shall any plague come near your dwelling"- Psalm 91:5-10



"From six disasters he will rescue you;
 even in the seventh, he will keep you from evil.
 He will save you from death in time of famine,
 from the power of the sword in time of war.
 You will be safe from slander
 and have no fear when destruction comes.
 You will laugh at destruction and famine;
 wild animals will not terrify you.
 You will be at peace with the stones of the field,
 and its wild animals will be at peace with you.
 You will know that your home is safe.
 When you survey your possessions, nothing will be missing.
 You will have many children;
 your descendants will be as plentiful as grass!
 You will go to the grave at a ripe old age,
  like a sheaf of grain harvested at the proper time! We have studied life and found all this to be true.
  Listen to my counsel, and apply it to yourself.”- Job 5:19-27


The word always speaks for itself. We need not to fear the things coming upon the earth. There will be terrible times, evil men going from bad to worse, but let us purpose to set our faces like flint and establish it in our hearts that we are going to persevere until the end. It will not be easy but, we can do all things through Christ who strengthens us.
