Leading Our Families To the Ark of Safety

We cannot stop the catastrophic end time judgments from coming, but we can teach our loved ones how to walk through them without fear”
How are we personally preparing our households for the days ahead? The most vital preparation isn't the food in our pantries, but the faith in our hearts. To endure the trials already unfolding on the earth, we need spiritual sustenance. Our heavenly commission is to lead our families—our children and adult children—into God’s 'Ark of Safety.' We cannot stop the catastrophic end time judgments from coming, but we can teach our loved ones how to walk through them without fear. We are called to be an inextinguishable light in the 'gross darkness’ that covers this earth (2 Peter 1:19). Just as the Savior yearned to gather His people (Matthew 23:37), it is the heart of every parent to gather their family into the protection and truth of the Father. It’s time to submit to the headship of Yahshua (Jesus), the One who redeemed us into His eternal body—if, by faith we are truly "born again new spiritual creations" (John 3:3, 2 Corinthians 5:17). If you haven't done that, do it now! No earthly bunker or safe haven can spare us from God's judgment or the reality of hell for the unbelieving.
But right now, let's focus on our role as sons and daughters of the Most High. How do we prepare our children to have faith for what is coming? We are living in days—perhaps even hours or weeks—where everything that can be shaken will be shaken, just as prophesied in Haggai 2:6 and Hebrews 12:27. Nothing is stable and the future is uncertain, but you can trust the prophetic word of Scripture, that is shining like a light in this dark world. This world is currently under Satan's dominion and destined for God's wrath. But ultimately, Yahshua Messiah will destroy the works of the evil one and establish His Kingdom in the New Jerusalem. With that in mind, let's look at our families. In Malachi 2:15, the Almighty One of Israel reveals that He created marriage so husbands and wives would produce godly offspring. Children are not just meant to carry on our physical lineage or receive our earthly inheritance. They are God's inheritance! He gave them to us as gifts—not to be clones of our fallen nature, but to become godly offspring who know the Savior by faith. While early training is ideal, it is never too late to begin.
We can confess Him with our lips and perform every ritual of a 'good Christian,' but if we are building an earthly empire and teaching our family to live for the 'here and now,' we are not following the Holy Spirit”
Beloved, please hear what the Spirit is saying: we must build an 'ark of safety' for our families. Simply attending church or reading the Bible isn't enough. What truly matters is being born again through repentance and 'working out your salvation' as new creations (Philippians 2:12). We must learn to 'live, move, and have our being' in the Holy Spirit (Acts 17:28), who is the divine deposit given to those who obey Him (Ephesians 1:13-14, Acts 5:32). As we walk in the Spirit, He gives us the wisdom to lead our children into that same ark. Just as the flood came in Noah’s day, Peter warns that fire is coming (2 Peter 3:10). Don’t be afraid; the Savior has provided a way of escape. The danger today is that many have kept their treasures in this doomed world. Let’s place our affections on the things above, for where our treasure is, our hearts will be also (Luke 12:33-34)." We can confess Him with our lips and perform every ritual of a 'good Christian,' but if we are building an earthly empire and teaching our family to live for the 'here and now,' we are not following the Holy Spirit. We are being deceived by the ruler of this world. Satan has seduced many believers into a counterfeit gospel—one that loves pastors who endorse a self-centered life. But Yahshua’s first requirement for a disciple is to deny the self. We must reject the sinful nature that feels as natural to us as our own skin. Adam and Eve traded paradise for the world's seductions and lost their inheritance; don't fall into the same trap. Messiah came to destroy the works of the devil and lead us out of the flesh and into the Holy Spirit, defeating the power of the sinful nature.
Let us teach our children that the world’s pulls are a trap, and that our Savior came to break the chains of the one who stole the deed to this earth. Satan’s craftiness succeeded; by seducing Adam and Eve, he laid claim to their inheritance and their souls. No longer the eternal children of the Most High, they became fallen beings—just like the chief rebel and the third of the heavenly host cast out with him. Rebellion is Satan’s nature. Through falsehood and defiance, he challenges Divine sovereignty, grasping for a humanity once destined for eternal fellowship with their Creator. Now, fallen man inherits a dark kingdom. Without being born again, none can escape final judgment or the agony of eternal separation in Hell (Romans 5:9). As Yahshua (Jesus) warned, many will claim Him as 'Lord' only to find the door shut, hearing the terrifying words: 'I never knew you' (Matthew 7:21-23). To follow Him is to deny oneself and live a crucified life; anything less is simply doing the will of the enemy (John 8:44; Matthew 16:24).”
It is time to die to this world and help our children find true joy in the promise of heaven. We can’t wait until we’ve exhausted every earthly pleasure to look upward”
We often think the 'blessed life' is defined by what we can buy, see, or touch. But if we want to prepare our children for these last days, we must teach them to live for the 'hereafter.' Yahshua called us to die to our fleshly nature. If we aren't living the crucified life, we are simply held captive by the ruler of this world. We say heaven is a wonderful place, but does that truth ring through our souls? We cannot get distracted by the 'pride of life' or the pursuit of 'this and that.' Godliness with contentment is the only true gain. Working out our salvation means becoming more dead to our own desires so we can be fully alive in Him. Our focus isn't on what we are entitled to here on earth—it’s on the fact that our God and Savior is our exceedingly great reward, far surpassing any earthly wealth. Raise your children in the Truth. As Yahshua (Jesus) taught, we must be 'born again'—beginning as spiritual infants who crave the pure milk of the Word. Just as a baby grows from milk to solid food, we must mature through the scriptures. From Moses to the Prophets, the Old and New Testaments speak with one divine voice: the voice of Yahveh, the Holy One of Israel. He offered His Son for both Jew and Gentile so that we might not face eternal death, but instead be restored as 'new creations.' Through Him, our holy identity is reclaimed, leading us back to the paradise once lost by Adam and Eve. It is time to die to this world and help our children find true joy in the promise of heaven. We can’t wait until we’ve exhausted every earthly pleasure to look upward. This world is fading, and our children aren’t just here to inherit 'temporal blessings'—they are a sacred stewardship. God gave us families to raise a godly generation that stores its treasures in heaven, not here. True life begins when we 'crucify the flesh' and embrace our identity as citizens of the heavenly kingdom
Raise your children under the Spirit’s guidance, pick up your cross, and deny this world—for it is not our home"
- Mark 8:34, Philippians 3:20 -
It’s time for us—and our children—to wake up. We are called to be 'little children' in Yahshua: simple in faith, deep in love, and quick to obey. Don’t let the world’s 'stupor' convince you that Yahshua’s return is a distant myth. The signs are here. Stop drowning out the truth with distractions. The Spirit is calling: 'Come out of her, My people!' Don’t be like Lot’s wife, anchored to a world that is passing away. Flee the flesh, run to Yahshua, and don’t look back! I am praying for everyone listening, out of a desire for your soul. Too many have been distracted by the fleeting thrills of this world, forgetting the urgent warnings in Revelation regarding lukewarm believers who fail to overcome. If you don’t believe in Hell, then you are not a candidate for Heaven. God's heart is that none should perish, but that all come to Him through repentance (2 Peter 3:9). He sent His Son to save us from the separation of sin—the anguish of hell—and calls us to be cleansed, not to be objects of His Father’s wrath (Romans 6:23). If we are lukewarm, we are in danger of being spewed out. I urge you: repent and turn back to Him. True life is found in dying to the flesh, being born again, and living in obedience to the Holy Spirit. Raise your children under the Spirit’s guidance, pick up your cross, and deny this world—for it is not our home (Mark 8:34, Phil 3:20)."
Yahveh God said, “do not be deceived. He will not be mocked. Whatever you sow, thus shall you reap.” Those who sow to the flesh will reap destruction; chasing temporary gratifications means going down with this passing world.. (Galatians 6:7-8) The only difference between you and an unbeliever is your lip service. As Yahshua said, Hypocrites! Your lip service means nothing when your hearts are far from Me. You prioritize human traditions over the commands of my Father. (See Matthew 15:7-9) You are undermining My call to a crucified, self-denied life. Instead, you are choosing self-satisfaction in a world facing imminent judgment and the wrath of God (Matthew 16:24)
It is time to escape for our lives by dying to the flesh (Romans 8:13) and being truly born again through faith in Yahshua’s atoning blood (John 3:3). We must repent from the counterfeit gospel of "your best life now"—that pursuit of selfish, material entitlement that leaves us enslaved to the world. If your "blessings" keep you captive to the flesh, it is not from the Almighty (Galatians 1:6-9). Repent! Yahveh is calling His remnant. As Messiah Yahshua said, "Make every effort" to enter through the narrow door, dying to the flesh so you can live in the Spirit. You are a new creation! Fight the good fight of faith (1 Timothy 6:12) against your old nature—Satan’s tool designed to keep you captive. Run for your life and do not look back. Teach your children to look toward heaven, not this world that 2 Peter 3:10 tells us will dissolve in fire
Pray with every fiber of your being daily that you will be found worthy, as our Savior said. “to escape the judgments that are coming”
- Luke 21:36 -
The foundations of this world will crumble. In their place, our Righteous King, Yahshua—the Son of David and King of kings—will usher in a new heaven and a new earth, just as the prophets and Revelation foretold. He will take His seat upon the throne of David in the New Jerusalem. Every earthly kingdom will fall when He returns to crush sin and darkness under His feet. Do you hear the Spirit calling? Do not harden your heart! To resist is to rebel, and to rebel is to let the enemy strangle the life from your soul. Wake up, sleeper! Rise from the dead and let the light of Messiah expose the vanity of your own desires. Flee the darkness of this world. Build your ark through faith, repentance, and the Word. Confess, turn, and be filled with the Holy Spirit—the gift promised to all who desire to walk as new creations in Messiah’s image. According to the Apostle John, true followers of the Savior are identified by their pursuit of walking in the same manner that Yahshua (Jesus) walked” (1 John 2:6) Very little time remains. Pray with every fiber of your being daily that you will be found worthy, as our Savior said. “to escape the judgments that are coming.” (See Luke 21:36)
