Turn with me in your Bibles to Genesis 7:17-22 (And the flood was forty days upon the earth; and the waters increased, and bare up the ark, and it was lift up above the earth. ver.18 And the waters prevailed, and were increased greatly upon the earth; and the ark went upon the face of the waters. ver.19 And the waters prevailed exceedingly upon the earth; and all the high hills, that were under the whole heaven, were covered. ver.21 And all flesh died that moved upon the earth, both of fowl, and of cattle, and of beast, and of every creeping thing that crept upon the earth, and every man: ver.22 All in whose nostrils was the breath of life, of all that was in the dry land, died.)

We know that the bible tells us the reason why Noah built the ark is because God told him to. And how he found out that he needed to build one is because he was walking with God. Hallelujah! Read it in the sixth chapter, the Bible says; and Noah walked with God.

One day while Noah was walking with God, God began to speak to him. God said unto Noah, Noah I have something to tell you. Noah found out something that nobody else knew and do you know how he found it out? He's walking with God! The church in this hour knows something's up. I said the church knows something's up. Shout Amen! They know something that this world doesn't know, that those who refuse to walk with God don't know. Those that are walking with God know something that the world doesn't know. They know something that many who are just sitting in churches and just playing church don’t know. And those that are just religious but don't know Jesus; don’t know it ether! But Hallelujah; The Church knows what's going on! That's why they're preparing for this last day, because they know that we are truly living in the last day.

We, just like Noah did back in his time; cry aloud a sound of warning to this Last Day Generation. He cried out a cry of warning to his generation because he had found out something that they didn’t know. He warned that world that something was coming from the hand of God. Judgment was coming from God. Noah began sounding aloud the warning of God’s coming judgment after he had first found it out. God said to Noah; I've got something to tell you, and there isn't anyone else finding this out but you. You hear me, the world's not in on this, and the only way they're going to get in on it, is if you and I who are walking with God warn them to flee from the wrath to come. It's coming church, and it is up to you and I who have HEARD FROM GOD to warn them of God’s soon coming judgment against the wicked. Someone Shout Amen! This generation needs to know, just as Noah's generation needed to know, that the judgment of God is coming. It's coming upon the wicked and it's coming upon the ungodly.

As a matter of fact the bible says in 1Pet.4:17 & 18 (For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God? ver.18 And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?) Did you hear the questions? What shall be the end of them that obey not the Gospel of God? Where shall the Ungodly and Sinner appear? Friend of mine God’s word contains the answers to these questions. Mat.13:49-50 (So shall it be at the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the just, ver.50 And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.) Rev.20:14-15 (And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. ver.15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.)

But I have good news for you, not everything in the House of God is going to be swept away. Praise God! I know sometimes we use that scripture and we use it a lot, and it does refer to those that are playing church in the House of God; they are going to face the judgment of God. Preachers that aren't right with God and don't really know God are going to face the judgment of God. Deacons, bishops, whoever they may be that don't have a personal relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ are going to face the judgment of God, but not everybody in the church is going to be lost. Hallelujah! There are some who are in Christ. There are some who love the Lord. God's got a people that love Him. God's got a people that are His. Shout Amen Someone. God's got a Church that's in His Son! Praise God! It's not going to be swept away by the flood; it's going to be LIFTED UP! Glory to God! I said it's going to be LIFTED UP!

God warned Noah. He said, Noah I've got something to tell you; now there isn't any one else that knows this, but I'm going to let you know because you're walking with me. If you want to find things out from God; you've got to walk with God, you've got to spend time with God. But what the devil wants to do is keep us away from God. Church we must walk with God. We must spend time with God in order to have a relationship with Him that enables us to know what God is up to in this Last Day. The Bible tells us in John 16:13 (Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will show you things to come.) The Holy Ghost is a reveler of things that will take place in the last day. He speaks and He shows it to the Church. Hallelujah! He isn't just showing it to everybody but He shows it to the Church.

He shows things to the Church that the world doesn't know. He warns them of things that are going to take place in these last days, so that they can prepare themselves, and make themselves ready for that which is about ready to take place. That's what the Holy Ghost does. As Noah walked with God the Lord shared with him that He was going to send a flood upon the earth and that He was going to destroy all flesh from off the face of the earth. He said Noah I'm going to tell you how to escape this flood I'm going to send.

That flood was a flood of water. Amen! You hear me it was a flood of water. I know it has a reference to the last day when Jesus Christ comes again and takes His Church out of here before the wrath of God is poured out on mankind, the wicked and the ungodly. But it also has a spiritual significance too. The Bible tells us that the Word of God symbolizes the water. He said in Eph.5:26-27 we are washed by the washing of the water of the Word. (That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, ver.27 That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.) We are washed by the water of God, and that water is the Word of God. Look at what Jesus said in John 15:3 (Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you.) What cleans you? The WORD! So that Word Of God represents water and I want to tell you what that water will do, when it comes it will kill flesh. Hallelujah! I said it will kill flesh. That's why it is so important. That devil don't mind you shouting, he don't mind you kicking your heels up but he doesn't want you sitting and listening and learning the Word of God because the Word of God is going to bring death to your flesh! Shout Glory To God Someone.

There's a lot of churches that will shout and jump and kick up their heels all service long, (and all of that is fine and wonderful in it’s place) but when it comes time to listen to the preaching of the Word they get fidgety, because the Word of God is going to bring DEATH TO THE FLESH. The devil doesn't mind you doing all that religious business or putting on a religious show, but he doesn't want you hearing the Word of God. God sends His Word in this hour and He sends it for two reasons. The first reason is this; TO LIFT THE ARK UP! And the second is this; TO KILL ALL FLESH! And I want you to know, you can't have one without the other. Hear it; YOU CAN’T HAVE ONE WITHOUT THE OTHER! When that flood of water came in Noah's time God said; I'm going to send to a flood, Noah build an ark and get your family in there. Warn this generation so they'll have the warning of what I'm going to do. Take all of the animals that I command you to bring in, and get them in the ark too. And once your in the ark I'm going to shut you in, then I’m going to send the flood. Here's what the water did, notice when the flood came this is what it did, it lifted the ark up. But while it was lifting the ark up it was killing all flesh! While the ark was being lifted up all flesh outside the ark was being destroyed. Glory to God!

Everything that can't be covered by the blood of Jesus Christ is going to be destroyed. Everything that can't be redeemed by the blood of Jesus will die. I want you to know flesh can't be redeemed. I want you know that carnality can not be redeemed, thus it must be crucified with Christ. Shout Amen Someone. And that's what the Word does; KILLS THE FLESH!

We need to recognize and acknowledge we are a blest people. If we have the Word of God coming to us we are a blest people. If we are hearing the Word of God preached in this last day we are a blest people. What's it doing? Thank God it's killing the flesh! And while it is killing the flesh it's raising up the ark. And church if we’re in the ark "JESUS" it’s lifting us up also in Him. It's raising that spirit man up. The Bible says in Eph.2:6 (And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:) Thank God His Word will LIFT US UP, and cause us to sit together in heavenly places with Christ.

I know Jesus is coming again soon. If you believe He’s coming soon, and your ready for His coming; Shout Yes! 1Thessalonians chapter 4 tells us that Jesus is going to step out on the cloud of glory and He's going to give a shout and the trumpet of God is going to sound and the dead in Christ are going to rise first and we which are alive and remain are going to be caught up to meet the Lord in the air! But you must know this; in order to have a part of that catching up we've got to first be LIFTED UP above flesh and carnality. Don’t get quit now, somebody help me shout.

When that water came, that flood of God's water of wrath and judgment against sin, flesh and carnality; and that's what that FLOOD OF water will do, it will bring judgment to the flesh. The Word will bring God's judgment to the flesh and it will kill it. God said I'm going to destroy all flesh. Did you hear that? ALL FLESH! When God gets done with you and I there isn't going to be no flesh left. After it's all finished up ALL FLESH upon earth will have been destroyed.

Look what the Bible says in verse 24; (And the waters prevailed upon the earth 150 days.) It doesn't matter how good you can backstroke or how good you doggy paddle you're not going to survive this. It doesn't matter how good they are at swimming or how many times they can swim across the canal, God's going to make sure that when it's all said and done there isn't going to be any flesh left. God's bringing His Word to us because He is destroying all flesh. You can't be lifted up and your flesh stay alive. I'm sure there were some that tried to hold out for as long as they could. I'm sure there were some that tried to gain the highest ground they could to try to survive as long as they could. There are things of FLESHLINESS and CARNALITY in your life that's tried to gain the highest ground it can, and hold out as long as it can in order to survive. But once the Word of God is done it's not going to leave any room for flesh whatsoever. It doesn't matter how strong they are or how good a swimmer they are, God left the water long enough to make sure all flesh was dead. There isn't any flesh that is going to survive the judgment of God's Word. We think sometimes the only reason the Holy Ghost is given to us is to make us feel good or give us goose bumps. It's not your flesh the Holy Ghost is reviving and lifting up but it's your spirit that is being lifted up.

In order to gain the ascendancy the flesh has to die. When the Flood of Water came the flesh had to die and it automatically lifted the ark up. As long as you allow the Word to deal with the flesh it will deal it the death blow, it brings the flesh to the execution spot. The flesh is a rebel against the kingdom of God and the King and IT MUST DIE! The Word of God brings the flesh to the execution spot so it can be executed. You can't let that rebel stay alive. If you let that rebel flesh live it will continue to cause a rebellion in your life against the Almighty God.

The Bible says in verse 17 (And the flood was forty days upon the earth; and THE WATERS INCREASED, and BARE UP THE ARK.) While it is bearing up the ark, flesh is being choked out. I like to put it this way, WHAT CAUSED THE ARK TO FLOAT, CAUSED THE FLESH TO CROAK! Shout Hallelujah Someone. The flood of God came and it lifted the ark up and the ark floated on the face of the water and it was raised above the death, the dying, the devastation and destruction that was taking place. The ark was LIFTED UP and everybody in the ark was being LIFTED UP!

The Word of God is bringing judgment to the flesh and it's going to deal the death blow until ALL FLESH IS DEAD! O but while the flesh is dying the ark is being LIFTED UP. The Bible says in Rom.8:6-8 (For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. ver.7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. ver.8 So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.) 1 Cor.2:14 says; (But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.) You can't get the flesh saved, and it will never be saved, but Praise God the flood will deal with it. While He's dealing the death blow to the flesh and bringing it to death, because it can not submit to God, for it is a rebel to God; you and I that have been placed in Christ are being LIFTED UP.

While the flesh is croaking, the ark is floating! The ark is being lifted up, and if the ark is being lifted up the flesh is going to die in the process. Here is the process; Flood of Water sent by God, ARK IS LIFTED UP, ALL FLESH IS DESTROYED! ARK FLOATS, FLESH CROCKS! Come On Somebody Shout Yes. Shout Yes.

Jesus said in John 12:31-33 (Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out. ver.32 And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me. ver.33 This he said, signifying what death he should die.) You see when Jesus was lifted up on that old rugged cross He was dealing the Death Blow to the Flesh. God’s word say’s, when Jesus cried out on that cross IT IS FINISHED, and GAVE UP THE GHOST "HE DIED"; the Veil in the temple was rent in two from the top to the bottom. To understand the reason for this we must look in Heb.10:19 (Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus, ver.20 By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh.) That which SEPARATES MAN FROM GOD IS FLESH. FLESH IS THE VEIL THAT JESUS TORE IN TWO SO THAT WE CAN HAVE AN ENTRANCE INTO THE HOLY PRESENCE OF GOD! And in Overcoming Flesh through His death on the cross, He was LIFTED UP IN VICTORY OVER THE DEVIL AND SIN, and DESTROYED THEM; and everyone that is in Him, will gain that same ascendancy.

The devil wants us to continue living down. That's what this world is doing it's going down, but the Church is being LIFTED UP! Thank God it's being lifted up above sin, above flesh, above carnality, above the ways of man into the ways of God. His ways are not our ways, and His thoughts are not our thoughts. His thoughts are higher then ours. In order to know what God's thinking we've got to be lifted up to where His thoughts are. Let this mind dwell in you which was also in Christ Jesus.

We can only gain the ascendancy through and by the Word of God. We must take heed to what God is saying in this last day. It must be settled in our hearts that God's Word is right! Let all men be a liar and God be true! It doesn't matter what the opinions of man are and what man thinks about it, God is right and his Word is right!

We must obey the Word if we are going to gain the ascendancy. There was no way Noah could be saved unless he obeyed God. The Word of God to Noah was, "BUILD AN ARK". He did what God said to do and thus he gained the ascendancy above the flesh. He's not a part of the death and dying, but he's alive in the ark. I'm not DEAD, I'm ALIVE! The CHURCH is not DEAD, we're ALIVE! Everyone that is in Christ Jesus is ALIVE! Hallelujah! We're not a part of the death and dying and destruction that's taking place we're ALIVE IN JESUS!

God said I'm going to destroy ALL FLESH from off the face of the earth. It's only those in the ark that are going to survive and nothing outside the ark is going to survive. I'm going to kill it all God said. When you find yourself involved in things that are keeping you at a distance from God, God deals with it! That's why when you're doing things you shouldn't be involved in, listening to and watching things you shouldn't be you can feel the discomfort and conviction, because God is dealing with the flesh. The Word of God has come to you and He's dealing with the flesh, and if you will obey God’s Word the Word of God will rise you above it.

God's judgment is this; my Word has come and it has brought judgment. It has come to prepare the Church. God has said, there's going to be a famine; the lack of hearing the Word. When you don't have the Word the flesh is alive and it's in control and doing it's own thing. When God sends His Word and has dealt with the Church and we have taking heed, it's going to kill the flesh but it's going to raise us up. Then there's coming a day when His Word is going to be withheld from the earth and flesh is going to prevail and only those that have took heed to the Word are going to be LIFTED UP and living above, because Jesus has come and caught us away. There's a preparation right now while we're here getting us ready for the catching away of the Church.

He's not going to destroy the earth again with a flood of Water because God made a covenant with Noah. When Noah sacrificed the clean beasts on the altar it came up to God a sweet smell. Noah offered the sacrifices to give thanks to God for keeping and preserving him and his family. God made a covenant with Noah and said, I will no more destroy all flesh from off the earth after this manner, and then God set His bow in the sky; but the next judgment that's coming from God will be that of fire. The fire of God's judgment will destroy the earth. The Bible says in 2 Peter chapter 3, that the heavens and earth will melt with fervent heat and be burned up. But He will create a New Heaven and New Earth wherein dwelleth Righteousness. And Church only those who have been lifted up in Christ Jesus, that have gained the ascendancy above the flesh through the Word of God, will have a place in that Eternal Home of the Righteous.

While all in the ark are living, the flesh is dying. Church you can't live as long as the flesh is surviving. But you can't help but live when the flesh is dying. It works that way because that's how God set it up. If the flesh is dying in your life then you will be made alive in Christ and you will be lifted up. If the flesh is surviving there will be no ascendency. There cannot be a lifting up until the flood and the water of God's judgment comes and deals with the flesh. When the water of God's judgment comes and deals with the flesh, automatically the ark rises and they that are in the ark rise with it. And as Christ is lifted up, all that are in Him are lifted up.

While the flesh is dying the spirit man that's in the ark is reviving and being lifted up above the earth, above the death, the dying, and the destruction. Church we've been lifted up and we're operating from above, We're living and surviving above the earth. If you're still operating on the level of this earth then you need to let the Word deal with the flesh.

If there's still things floating around in our lives, we need more of the Word. What that means is, God's not done with us yet. When God gets done there will be NO FLESH ALIVE! When God gets done ALL FLESH WILL BE DESTROYED! It doesn't matter how strong the flesh is, when God gets done with it, when you submit to the Word, it's going to DIE!

After the ark came to rest on Mt. Ararat and they got out of the ark there wasn't anything else on the earth. It was purged and cleansed of ALL FLESH. There was no flesh that survived. The only thing that survived was all that was in the ark! Well Glory To God. Did you hear it? ONLY THAT WHICH WAS IN THE ARK LIVED! If your in the ark "JESUS CHRIST" Turn to your neighbour and tell them; I’M IN THE ARK! Now you may be struggling with some areas of Flesh in your life, and it’s doing all it can to stay alive and control your life; JUST SUBMIT TO THE WORD! As the Word lifts you up it will destroy the works of the flesh.

The waters prevailed over the flesh. The Word of God will prevail over the flesh. The only one’s that is going to be surviving and living are those who are in CHRIST and no one else. Everyone else will be cast into a lake of fire to burn forever and ever. Only that which is in Christ and submitted to the Word of God will survive. Amen!
