Eight People

And Noah went in, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives with him, into the ark, because of the waters of the flood Genesis 7:7, KJV

Only eight people were saved out of the whole world! I looked back in scripture and people knew God! Enoch lived 365 years and he was no more because God took him because He walked with God. Scripture says When man began to multiply on the face of the land and daughters were born to them, the sons of God saw that the daughters of man were attractive. And they took as their wives any they chose. Then the Lord said, “My Spirit shall not abide in man forever…Genesis 6:1-3, ESV.

People knew God and probably thought they were holy and righteous yet they did not make it on the ark. My heart is heavy as God brings this revelation to me. It is now 5:00 am and I’ve been up for awhile just listening to God speak to me about the hearts of man. Scripture says  “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’ And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness” Matthew 7:21-23.

Family, if God only saved eight people out of the whole world when He brought the flood on the earth what makes us think that we have it all together. It is imperative that we do as Jesus commanded and follow the will of our Father. As we see in scripture casting out demons and prophesying does not get us into heaven. The will of the father according to scripture is  For this is the will of my Father, that everyone who looks on the Son and believes in him should have eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day.” John 6:40, ESV And he said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. 38 This is the great and first commandment. 39 And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. Matthew 22:37-39, ESV

Scripture also teaches that when Jesus returns it will be like a thief in the night (1 Thessalonians 5) which means we have to always be in obedience to what God has commanded so we are not left behind when he comes.

Father, thank you for this powerful word that reminds us nothing is more important in this world than to do your will. Please help us to not get distracted by the cares of this world but to stay in your will. In Jesus Name amen.
