It is time to enter into the ark of Jesus’ presence.
Just as Noah’s Ark had an entrance on its side for people to enter in to escape the storm, I am trying to tell My people that the entrance to the shelter of My presence is through My side.
It is through the mercy and grace poured out from My pierced side that anyone will ever enter My salvation and rest. There is no other way in but through My mercy and grace that was poured out for many from My side.
Let the redeemed of the earth say so; let them walk in the unity of this message.
My grace and My mercy are enough. People are covered by My love; My grace and My mercy are sufficient for them, but they do not understand it because they walk in the futility of their minds and the trap of religion and not the fullness of the Spirit.
They need to know by the Holy Spirit that My grace is enough for them, and My mercy is poured out for them. They need to wake up and see that it is time to enter into the ark of My presence through My broken body by the power of My Holy Spirit.
They must understand that the only way in is through My righteousness, not their own—embracing the forgiveness of their sins and all that that means for them.
But their reliance on their own righteousness causes them to make excuses for their sins, to hide them, and to deny them in shame, and even to deny their shame with a deadened conscience. They have numbed themselves, and they lie to themselves and to others about the reality of their personal sin and sin in general, dismissing and comforting people instead of convicting them of what are abominations to Me, and therefore blocking themselves from My presence—blocking themselves from My Holy Spirit, the only one that can cause them to understand My true mercy and grace.
However, when they enter into the ark of My presence through the righteousness that I freely give them by My grace and mercy, flowing from My side, and when they admit from the heart that they and the world need it, they will be saved from the personal storms they face, but also the global storm that is coming.
My people are lying to themselves and to each other about sin with bad theology, and they are missing My presence. They are missing the goodness of My glory while going to church. They are missing Me, and they don’t even know it.
It’s time to enter into the ark of My presence. It’s time to rethink church—from merely going to church to becoming the church—and to come out from among those who honor Me with their mouths but whose hearts are far from Me. It’s time to get away from people who have a form of godliness but deny its power by not pursuing the wielding of it wholeheartedly, accepting the persecution in the form of rejection and judgment that will come from your obedience to these commands by people you were once close with.
It’s time for My people to accept My invitation to close the gap between us by true confession and true repentance, and really taking up their cross to follow Me away from the world before the door to the ark closes and the age of grace ends.
It’s time for all to enter into the ark of My presence and hide themselves in Me
