The Ark Shall Rise

I. The Winds of Strife: Global Upheaval and Divine Warnings

The winds are shifting, both in the natural and the spiritual. Scripture speaks of the four winds that hold back destruction until God's servants are sealed:

"And after these things I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree." Revelation 7:1 (KJV)

Yet we now see a loosening, war in the south, upheaval in governments, volcanic eruptions, and geopolitical tremors. These are not random events. They mirror the pattern laid out in Matthew 24, where Jesus warned of wars, famines, earthquakes, and tribulation as signs of the end.

"For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. All these are the beginning of sorrows." Matthew 24:7–8 (KJV)

Dormant mountains, nations, strongholds, regions thought to be stable, are beginning to erupt. Few are prepared. But God's people are not called to fear. We are called to discern and to stand.

II. The Battle Behind the Battle: Spiritual Warfare in the Heavens

The intensity we see on earth mirrors a much greater battle in the unseen realm. Paul reminds us:

"For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places." Ephesians 6:12 (KJV)

In seasons of spiritual warfare, prayer becomes the frontline. Saints who remain hidden in prayer halls are actually shifting nations. As Daniel fasted and prayed, the angel of the Lord revealed that his prayer had broken through hostile spiritual resistance:

"Fear not, Daniel: for from the first day that thou didst set thine heart to understand, and to chasten thyself before thy God, thy words were heard, and I am come for thy words." Daniel 10:12 (KJV)

What you cannot see is often more significant than what you can. Now is not the time for passive faith. It is time to fight in prayer and intercession.

III. Sowing and Sprouting: Fruitfulness in the Last Hour

Though the world groans in travail, the remnant continues to sow. Seeds of faith, love, truth, and righteousness are being scattered by those who labor in secret. And the Lord Himself waters:

"So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase." 1 Corinthians 3:7 (KJV)

Those who come before the Lord with humility are not only protected but nourished. They are made fruitful in famine. As Psalm 1 declares:

"And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper." Psalm 1:3 (KJV)

Every act of obedience, every word of truth shared, every prayer whispered, has eternal consequence. Keep sowing.

IV. The Rising Ark: God’s Shelter for His Remnant

Just as Noah was called into the ark before the flood, the Church is being summoned to a place of safety before the great judgment falls. This is not a physical structure, but a spiritual refuge:

"Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee: hide thyself as it were for a little moment, until the indignation be overpast." Isaiah 26:20 (KJV)

The ark of protection is Christ Himself. Those who dwell in Him are hidden. Psalm 91 remains our war cry and comfort:

"He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty." Psalm 91:1 (KJV)

Now is the time to enter that ark. To cling to Jesus with all our strength. For soon, the waters of judgment will rise.

V. The Bride Shines: Anointed for This Hour

As darkness spreads, the true Church, the wise virgins with oil, is rising. Her light pierces the night. Her garments are spotless, prepared for the wedding feast.

"Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins... and five of them were wise, and five were foolish." Matthew 25:1–2 (KJV)

"Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee." Isaiah 60:1 (KJV)

Now is not the time for compromise. The Bride must shine with oil, Spirit-filled, watchful, and ready.

VI. The Call of the Bridegroom: Come, All Who Are Weary

Jesus is calling in this final hour, not with thunder, but with tenderness:

"Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." Matthew 11:28 (KJV)

He offers peace the world cannot give. His shalom stills every storm. Even now, amid global turmoil, you can enter the rest of God.

"And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus." Philippians 4:7 (KJV)

Keep returning to Him, morning, noon, and night. He is our anchor.

VII. A Call to Repentance

This is the moment to return to the Lord. The time is urgent. The last days are no longer a distant prophecy, they are upon us. Blind eyes must open. Hardened hearts must break.

"Seek ye the Lord while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near." Isaiah 55:6 (KJV)

The mercy of God is still extended. But the door will not stay open forever. Repent. Turn. Cry out. The Savior is near.

VIII. The Gospel Message

All have sinned.
  “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.”
  Romans 3:23 (KJV)

Sin brings death.
  “For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”
  Romans 6:23 (KJV)

Jesus paid the price.
  “But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.”
  Romans 5:8 (KJV)

Confess and believe.
  “That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.”
  Romans 10:9 (KJV)

Conclusion

We are not waiting for the end times. We are living in them. The winds are stirring, the ark is rising, and the Bridegroom is calling.

Will you rise? Will you repent? Will you be found with oil in your lamp?

The choice is yours. The time is now.

Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

The Rise of the Remnant: God’s Hidden Army for the Final Hour

I. The Hidden Ones: A Remnant Refined by Fire Throughout every generation, God has preserved a remnant, those who have not bowed to the idols of their time, who walk in righteousness amid corruption, and who carry His presence with purity and power. Elijah lamented that he stood alone for God, but the Lord revealed, “I have left me seven thousand in Israel, all the knees which have not bowed unto Baal” (1 Kings 19:18, KJV). Today, God’s hidden ones are emerging from seasons of obscurity and crushing. They are the forerunners, raised in secret places where their faith has been tested, refined, and purified. These men and women have endured the fires of betrayal, rejection, and spiritual warfare, yet like gold tried in the furnace, they now reflect the image of the Refiner (Malachi 3:2–3). They were trained in isolation, hidden from public view, so that when they emerge, it will not be by human promotion but by divine appointment. Their confidence is not in their strength but in the...

Forged Through The Fire

I. The Intimacy of the Bridegroom and His Bride The Lord is not seeking mere admiration; He desires intimacy. Those who worship in spirit and truth (John 4:23-24) are known not just for their public declarations, but for private devotion. The Bride's heart is fully His, not content to know about Him but driven to know Him. "Draw me, we will run after thee: the king hath brought me into his chambers: we will be glad and rejoice in thee, we will remember thy love more than wine: the upright love thee." (Song of Solomon 1:4, KJV) Her surrender is not theoretical. It is lived out daily through obedience and the sacrifice of self. In a time when the love of many has waxed cold (Matthew 24:12), she burns brightly. II. The Fragrance of Obedient Worship The Bride's worship is not limited to melody but manifests as obedience. Her crushed will releases fragrant oil, echoing Gethsemane where Christ said,  "Nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done." (Luke 22:42, KJV...

The Trumpet: A Call to True Repentance

I. The Sound of the Trumpet and the Awakening of the Church Scripture declares a day is coming when the trumpet of the Lord will sound, signaling the return of Jesus Christ. “For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first.” 1 Thessalonians 4:16 (KJV) This is a prophetic certainty. Yet, as Jesus warned, many will be unprepared when that moment arrives. “Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom.” Matthew 25:1 (KJV) In this parable, five virgins were wise, having oil in their lamps, and five were foolish, neglecting their readiness. The oil represents the abiding presence of the Holy Spirit and an intimate relationship with Christ. When the Bridegroom came, only those prepared entered the wedding feast. This prophetic warning speaks directly to today’s Church. Many profess belief b...
