The Word Is an Ark of Safety - UBM [David Eells]

I had a little dream this morning where I was standing in a parking lot of a school (a place where man's traditions are taught [this could also represent churches which are schools that teach traditions of men]) when, suddenly, a strong wind began to kick up. As I was looking up, a tornado siren went off, alerting people of the impending danger. I watched as people ran into their houses and down into their basements (a place of unbelief[fear and salvation by works]). They left the upper levels (Heavenly places in Christ Jesus) of their homes to go into their "storm shelters" (man-made "false" protection). (And what about those who don't make it to storm shelters or they are taken down?) This is what they had been taught (by a lying spirit of the traditions of men), to be protected from threatening storms. {Col.2:8} Take heed lest there shall be any one that maketh spoil of you through his philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. (Jesus delivered those who believe from any such curse that comes because of sin.) {Gal.3:13} Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us; for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: {14} that upon the Gentiles might come the blessing of Abraham in Christ Jesus; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith. {Pro.18:10} The name of Jehovah is a strong tower (high place); The righteous runneth into it, and is safe. {11} The rich man's wealth is his strong city, And as a high wall in his own imagination. {11:4} Riches profit not in the day of wrath; But righteousness delivereth from death. {Exo.12:13} And the blood shall be to you for a token upon the houses where ye are: and when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and there shall no plague be upon you to destroy you, when I smite the land of Egypt. {1Co.5:7} Purge out the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, even as ye are unleavened. For our Passover (of death and the curse) also hath been sacrificed, [even] Christ.

Then I watched as a father holding the hand of his small son got out of his car and began to walk quickly in the direction of the school building for protection from the approaching danger. (We were told of a school that had just been rebuilt in Arkansas that was blown to pieces by a tornado there the morning after the dream and a whole town that was leveled.) As they approached me, they stopped and the father said, "Ma'am, you need to come with us! I just heard on my car radio that the tornado will be here in a few minutes". I said, "Yes, I know, but I am fine! I'm protected right here where I am (by faith in the blood of the Lamb). I am in the "Ark". {Psa.125:1} They that trust in Jehovah Are as mount Zion, which cannot be moved, but abideth for ever. {Heb.11:7} By faith Noah, being warned of God concerning things not seen as yet, moved with godly fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; through which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is according to faith.

Years ago, we had a dream that a tornado was coming straight at the front picture window of our house. As we watched, we rebuked it in Jesus' name and it jumped over the house. (Watch as a man and woman each rebuke tornados in the name of Jesus.) This came to pass shortly after the dream. A tornado cut a path of destruction down through the subdivision we were in and stopped one street over and jumped over our house, landing in a shopping center a few streets behind us. Because we believed in the Passover Lamb, God warned us so we could take action against this. Another time, a tornado came toward our mountain house and the wind picked up drastically and was pelting the windows with debris but I and others in the house rebuked it and it turned away. Another time, a hurricane was coming into the Gulf and straight toward our house, according to radar. The brethren in our Bible study were asking what I was going to do. I said, "Nothing. There is a big angel in my front yard and that hurricane is not coming here". Sure enough, it came up to the beach through the Gulf and took a sharp right turn, went down the beach, then turned left and curved around behind us and then turned back to its original path northward. It made a half circle around us and kept going. Some of the brethren got on the interstate to leave town to escape the hurricane and were caught in a traffic jam and had to ride it out on the interstate and others made it home before it hit. Other times, when a hurricane came, I did not stop it but commanded my trees and property to be secure but my neighbors lost trees and had damage that I did not. Jesus is our Passover Lamb, the Word made flesh. Eat His body to have life and not death.

{Mar.11:23} Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall say unto this mountain (or tornado), Be thou taken up and cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that what he saith cometh to pass; he shall have it. {24} Therefore I say unto you, All things whatsoever ye pray and ask for, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them. {25} And whensoever ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have aught against any one; that your Father also who is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses. {Job22:28} Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee; And light shall shine upon thy ways. {Heb.2:5} For not unto angels did he subject the world to come (Greek: "the inhabited earth"), whereof we speak. {6} But one hath somewhere testified, saying, What is man, that thou art mindful of him? Or the son of man, that thou visitest him? {7} Thou madest him a little lower than the angels; Thou crownedst him with glory and honor, And didst set him over the works of thy hands: {8} Thou didst put all things in subjection under his feet. Jesus did put all things under the feet, the lowest member of His body on earth. {Eph.1:22} and he put all things in subjection under his feet, and gave him to be head over all things to the church. {Mat.18:18} Verily I say unto you, what things soever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven; and what things soever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. {19} Again I say unto you, that if two of you shall agree on earth as touching anything that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father who is in heaven.

When I said, "I am in the Ark", the man looked at me like I had lost my mind (which I had; I lost the mind of the "old man", the mind of the flesh [she had the renewed mind of Christ to walk above the curse]). Just then, he tugged on his small son's hand and said, "Come on, son, we need to get to the school building now!" (The place where intellect is taught, like "God helps those who help themselves".) The little boy said to his father, "I see the Ark, Daddy! I see it! Can't you see it? Remember Noah's Ark, Daddy? The family all got into the Ark and God kept them safe!" {Psa.32:8} I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will counsel thee with mine eye upon thee. {33:18} Behold, the eye of Jehovah is upon them that fear him, Upon them that hope in his lovingkindness; {34:11} Come, ye children, hearken unto me: I will teach you the fear of Jehovah. (The Ark is abiding in Jesus and His Word.)

Just then, the little boy broke away from his father and came over to me and took hold of my hand. {Mat.19:14} But Jesus said, Suffer the little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for to such belongeth the kingdom of heaven (where we rule under God). He said to his father, "Come on, Daddy, get into the Ark with us. Hurry! We will all be safe here!" I watched as the man struggled with what he had been taught by the traditions of men versus the truth of what this little child was revealing to him. {18:3} and said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye turn, and become as little children, ye shall in no wise enter into the kingdom of heaven (... where God rules through us. The Kingdom is where one walks in agreement with Kingdom teaching).

Suddenly, here came the tornado and there was no time to run, just stand. (For man there is no time to run or safe place to run to, except the secret place of the Most High by faith, for He is sovereign over the whirlwinds, earthquakes, volcanoes, tsunamis, radiation, floods, disease, enemies, etc. {Nah.1:3} Jehovah is slow to anger, and great in power, and will by no means clear the guilty: Jehovah hath his way in the whirlwind and in the storm, and the clouds are the dust of his feet.) The father quickly came over to me and took my hand, and the three of us stood there together. {Joh.14:1} Let not your heart be troubled: believe in God, believe also in me. {15:7} If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask whatsoever ye will, and it shall be done unto you. {8} Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; and [so] shall ye be my disciples. I looked down at the small child and I asked, "Would you like to sing a worship song to The Lord?" The little boy said, "Oh, yes, I would! Jesus loves the little children, all the children of the world". Just then, we were all God's little children. Trusting in Him and Him alone for our protection from the storm. {Psa.7:17} I will give thanks unto Jehovah according to his righteousness, And will sing praise to the name of Jehovah Most High. {13:6} I will sing unto Jehovah, Because he hath dealt bountifully with me. {21:13} Be thou exalted, O Jehovah, in thy strength: So will we sing and praise thy power.

We watched as the school building (where the [religious?] traditions of men are taught) was completely destroyed and all the surrounding houses were destroyed beyond recognition (just as the school I spoke of). Then I heard the little boy say, "See, Daddy, isn't the Ark a good place to be?" {Joh.15:7} If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask whatsoever ye will, and it shall be done unto you. (Churches that do not teach salvation for the whole man from the curse will not deliver their people and are guilty of their blood.)

{Psa.91:1} He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. {2} I will say of Jehovah, He is my refuge and my fortress; My God, in whom I trust. {3} For he will deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, And from the deadly pestilence. {4} He will cover thee with his pinions, And under his wings shalt thou take refuge: His truth is a shield and a buckler. {5} Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night, Nor for the arrow that flieth by day; {6} For the pestilence that walketh in darkness, Nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday. {7} A thousand shall fall at thy side, And ten thousand at thy right hand; [But] it shall not come nigh thee. {8} Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold, And see the reward of the wicked. {9} For thou, O Jehovah, art my refuge! Thou hast made the Most High thy habitation; {10} There shall no evil befall thee, Neither shall any plague (blow or smiting) come nigh thy tent. {11} For he will give his angels charge over thee, To keep thee in all thy ways (but not in man's ways). {12} They shall bear thee up in their hands, Lest thou dash thy foot against a stone. {13} Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: The young lion and the serpent shalt thou trample under foot. {14} Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name (meaning "nature, character and authority"). {15} He shall call upon me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble: I will deliver him, and honor him. {16} With long life will I satisfy him, And show him my salvation.
