WORD TO PONDER:  BUILDING AN ARK 2/11/98

It was My plan that sent you ahead of your family to the hill of the Lord. Higher and higher you have climbed, each step seemingly in slow motion. In the process, unknown to you, I have sent you ahead to prepare an ark for winter. In the days ahead, you will be given My divine provisions. All that sail with you shall be saved. You, and your children, "They shall be Mine," says the LORD of hosts, on the day that I make them My jewels. And I will spare them as a man spares his own son who serves him." You and your household shall be saved. At that time they shall again discern between the righteous and the wicked, between one who serves God and one who does not serve Him.

I send you to unite with kindred hearts, those brave and gallant ones like knights of the round table — servants of sacrifice, bearing arms to serve their King. Like you, they have learned the secret of being carried by the winds of My Spirit. Search for them. They are yielded, flexible to My will, yet with strong and straight arms they send their arrows to the targets. They are consistent in their timely service to their King. Knights in My Kingdom, they are people of vision and power, anchored to My Word, energized by speaking My Words.

In the days to come, those of fearful hearts shall find comfort in your Words. For you - My special chosen ones will dwell safely in the ark you have prepared and under your wings shall those of fearful hearts be safe from the coming storm.
