Noah
spent 120 years building his ARK.
The
ARK that saved only eight people out of the whole world.
Noah's
ARK was a physical structure based on the design God gave him.
However,
in order for Noah to persevere in its building
It
took Faith in the Word God had given him, and a heart after God.
Today,
the building of our ARK will require perseverance,
Faith
in the Word of God, God's design, and a heart after God.
Since
the “fall” of Adam and Eve,
The
world has always been a godless, perverse, wicked place
Ruled
by Satan who came to steal, kill and destroy.
Yet,
God has provided a WAY to live in this world before Him
And
a WAY out of this world at the end of our days.
This
WAY is our ARK. It is building upon the Faith
That
God has given all who are willing to receive it;
All
who response to and say YES to His call.
Christ
Jesus is that WAY.
Christ,
living “IN' and “THROUGH” us is our ARK.
If
we are willing, He carries us from Glory to Glory unto the Perfect
Day;
The
Day of His return.
Our
part is to remain “IN” Him; to remain “IN” the VINE which
is Christ.
Remaining
“IN” Him by our volition, by our choice,
Is
our part of building our ARK. (John 15:5)
Just
as with Noah, this requires perseverance.
Virtually
everything that goes on in this world
Is
designed by Satan to prevent us from being successful
In
completing our ARK; In remaining faithful to the END.
Satan
will go to any length to keep us from completing our ARK.
Yet,
we can do all things through Christ who strengthens us. (Phil. 4:13)
Christ,
Who is infinitely more powerful than Satan.
As
long as we remain “IN” Christ, Satan cannot touch us. (1 John
5:18)
If
we remain “IN” Christ, we will OVERCOME this world
By
the blood of the Lamb and the word of our Testimony.
Not
loving this life so much as to shrink from death. (Revelation. 12:11)
Only
with Christ living “IN” and “THROUGH” us is this possible;
Only
Christ is stronger than Satan.
Realize,
that this life we have been given by God,
Was
given us to OVERCOME this wicked world.
That
is the TEST and TRIAL of this natural life;
That
is the whole purpose of this life,
To
see who will receive the Salvation God has given us “IN” Christ
And
who will persevere “IN” Christ, “IN” the ARK, to the END.
If
you build your ARK, all men will hate you!
'All
men will hate you because of Me,
But
he who sands firm [IN
Christ] to the End
will be saved.' (Matthew 10:22)
If
we love anything or anyone more than Christ we will fail.
If
we do not take up our cross daily and follow Christ we will fail.
(Matthew
10:37-38)
We
must be willing to confess Christ as Savior and Lord before men.
'Whoever
acknowledges Me before men,
I
will acknowledge him before My Father in Heaven.
But
whoever disowns Me before men,
I
will disown him before My Father in Heaven.' (Matthew 10:32-33)
'Do
not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth.
I
did not come to bring peace, but a sword.
For
I have come to turn a man against his father,
a
daughter against her mother,
A
daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law--
A
man's enemies will be the members of his own household.' (Mat.
10:34-36)
'Whoever
finds his life will lose it,
And
whoever loses his life for My sake will find it.' (Matthew 10:39)
'Come
to Me, all who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.
Take
My yoke upon you and learn from Me,
For
I AM gentle and humble in heart;
And
you will find rest for your souls.
For
My yoke is easy and My burden is light.' (Matthew 11:28-30)
'He
who is not with Me is against Me,
And
he who does not gather with Me scatters.' (Matthew 12:30)
'Who
is My mother, and who are My brothers?'
Pointing
to His disciples, He said,
'Here
are My mother and My brothers.
For
whoever does the WILL of My Father in Heaven
Is
My brother and sister and mother.' (Matthew 12:48-50)
'Whoever
has will be given more, and he will have an abundance.
Whoever
does not have, even what he has will be taken from him.'
(Matthew
13:11)
I
pray that all who read this message are building an ARK;
That
will enable them to OVERCOME this wicked world.
Today,
the world is raging against God, rushing toward oblivion. (Psalm 2)
America
is being ground to powder because of her SIN against God.
Save
yourself from this corrupt generation! (Acts 2:40)
As
God has written, so shall it be! Hallelujah! Maranatha!
Father,
Your Kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as in Heaven!
