A Global Network, the Bride of Christ. The New Jerusalem awakens where the glory of God, in the hearts of men, is brought from heaven to earth. A revelation as told by Bianca Birkholz.
THE NEW JERUSALEM (Revelation 21:1-27).
And I saw a new heaven and a new earth; for the first heaven and the first earth passed away, and the sea is no more. And I saw the Holy City, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a loud voice saying from the throne, Behold the tent of God among men! And he will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them, their God. And he will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore; for the first has passed. And he who sat on the throne said, Behold, I am making all things new. And he says: Write! For these words are sure and true. And he said to me: It is done. I am the alpha and the omega, the beginning and the end. I will give freely to those who thirst from the spring of the water of life. Whoever overcomes will inherit this, and I will be his God and he will be my son. But the cowardly and unbelieving and abominable and murderers and fornicators and sorcerers and idolaters and all liars have their portion in the lake that burns with fire and brimstone; this is the second death. And there came one of the seven angels, which had the seven bowls full of the seven last plagues, and spoke to me, saying, Come here! I want to show you the bride, the Lamb's wife. And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and showed me the holy city of Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, and having the glory of God. Her brilliance was like a very precious jewel, like a crystalline jasper stone; and it had a great and high wall, and had twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and names written upon them, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel: three gates on the east, and three gates on the north, and three gates on the south, and beyond west three gates. And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them twelve names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb. And he who spoke to me had a measure, a golden reed, to measure the city and its gates and its walls. And the city is square, and its length is as great as its breadth. And he measured the city with the reed 12,000 stadia; their length and width and height are equal. And he measured its wall, 144 cubits, a man's measure, which is an angel's measure. And the building material of its wall was jasper, and the city pure gold, like pure glass. The cornerstones of the wall of the city were adorned with every kind of precious stone: the first cornerstone a jasper; the second a sapphire; the third a chalcedony; the fourth an emerald; the fifth a sardonyx; the sixth a sardine; the seventh a chrysolite; the eighth a beryl; the ninth a topaz; the tenth a chrysoprase; the eleventh a hyacinth; the twelfth an amethyst. And the twelve gates were twelve pearls, each of the gates was of a pearl, and the street of the city was pure gold, like transparent glass. And I saw no temple in her, for the Lord God Almighty is her temple, and the Lamb. And the city needs neither the sun nor the moon to shine on it; for the glory of God has enlightened them, and their lamp is the Lamb. And the nations will walk in her light, and the kings of the earth bring their glory to her. And their gates will not be closed by day, for there will be no night. And they will bring to her the glory and honor of the nations. And nothing that is unclean will enter them, nor the one who practices abominations and lies, but only those who are written in the Lamb's book of life (Revelation 21:1-27). (Elberfelder translation).
The Vision:
What God Showed Me In the summer of 2004, the Lord gave me a great revelation/vision. At that time I was living on Lake Constance in Switzerland in an international seminar center with its own school, creative workshops, gardens and partial self-sufficiency. In the middle of the day, a great bright light came towards me and touched me, right in my heart. I fell to the ground from the force of the light. My whole body vibrated, and I saw something written in golden letters in my heart. I then looked up at the sky and saw the entire earth above me. A golden network was stretched around our planet. In this network, many people were gathered who had an intimate and loving relationship with Jesus Christ. The people seemed to have their entire focus and heart on Jesus. This Golden Network was self-sufficient and independent; separate from the earth and the people who were on the earth. The golden network looked to be a few meters above the surface of the earth below. It appeared as if a fiery red-grey cloud surrounded the earth and its people, shrouding them in a dark cloud of wars, natural disasters, disease, chaos, suffering and fear. The people of the golden network had grown together to form a body/community, a kind of Ark, which had woven itself around the earth. The people of the Ark were fully taken care of and protected from what was happening on the earth. They were all closely connected, knit together as one in the love of Jesus Christ. It was as if they walked the earth but were not of the earth. They all had a living and loving relationship with God. In this great Ark everyone had something to give and share. An abundance and peace extended over the entire network, permeating the Ark as the Bride was supernaturally provided with spiritual and physical nourishment. There was order, in the enlightened Ark community, with gathering places and glory houses led by a council of elders. Every person in the Ark, was part of Bride of Christ and each one knew their role and position in the organized community of devoted believers. There was no conventional hierarchy, but rather a divine order within the Bride of Christ. Each believer had full authority in Christ and knew their own gifts, role, and responsibilities in the Ark. Everyone was equal and equally valued. The entire Bride of Christ worked and lived in unison under the guidance and direction of the Holy Spirit of God. Next, I saw over the network a Golden City, much larger than the earth; bright shining in golden crystal colors. The Golden City was very powerful and imbued with purity, beauty, love, and light. The splendor and glory exuding from the City was overwhelming. The Golden City was slowly approaching the earth and getting closer and closer. The Bride of Christ on the Ark stretched out their hearts to this Golden City and slowly the city melted into the heart of the Bride who had a living relationship with Jesus Christ. It was as if the city existed on the outside and at the same time it was merging into the people’s hearts, the Bride’s heart. While I was still looking at the Golden City I heard God’s thunderous and magnificent voice. His words shook me to the core, and I recognized it was the same voice I heard at the age of 18, when I nearly died and first met Jesus Christ. This time… as I gazed upon the Golden City He proclaimed to me, “THE NEW JERUSALEM.”
After this intense vision/revelation, it took me a very long time to process what I had seen and heard. I was then and still am these many years later, imbued with this vision, which still affects me deeply each and every day. This vision changed my life in many ways. Shortly after receiving the revelation, I resigned from my management position in a psychosomatic facility in Switzerland shortly afterwards, gave up my belongings and money and began a journey around the world. The journey started in Hawaii, where I didn't eat anything for about 40 days on a mountain and didn't drink any water for the first week so that I could be purified and cleansed by Jesus Christ. Since that time, I have continued this journey of faith, traveling, and learning more about my Lord, His Word, and His perfect will. It is my desire to walk more deeply with Him each and every day. I still have a lot to learn until I am completely dependent on the Lord, and I don't want to tap a finger without Jesus Christ.
From 2009 to 2019 the Lord led me to paint the 12 Pearls of New Jerusalem. Every brush stroke I made was a deep process of knowledge and change, which demanded a lot of dedication and humility from me. The creation of the paintings came through the guidance of the Holy Spirit, whereby I painted right-handed and left-handed and both-handed (ambidextrous), without having previously learning these skills. The power of the Holy Spirit was sometimes so strong when I was painting that I fell to the ground with every brushstroke. During the 10 years of painting, I was given insights and knowledge about the 12 Pearls (also called Gates) of the New Jerusalem. Most of all, I was shown that the 12 Pearls of the New Jerusalem want to be brought to life within us. This can be achieved through our willingness to follow Jesus Christ unconditionally, giving our bodies to Him daily, and allowing our hearts to be cleansed and polished so that HE takes more and more form in us and works through us. It is this transformation that allows the Pearls of the New Jerusalem shine within us. The Bride’s thorough transformation into the image of Jesus Christ, opens the 12 Gates (Pearls) of the New Jerusalem within our hearts, merging us together in Christ and in His glory.
“I want to show you the bride, the Lamb's wife. And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and showed me the holy city of Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God and having the glory of God (Rev. 21:9-11).”
In September of 2019 I suffered a life-threatening accident. After this I went into silence and prayer for 4 days and asked the LORD to give me understanding about the incident. The Lord then showed me several impressive pictures. He showed me that now and in the next few years a very big upheaval in society would happen. He also asked me to let go of many things, including church structures and concepts, and instead, I should start gathering people and telling them about the vision of the Ark that He gave me in 2004.
In April 2020, during praise and worship with a brother in Christ at my home, I suddenly felt dizzy and had to lie down. I was then caught up to the 3rd heaven. Three times in total and each time I was shown a different level/dimension of heaven. In the first place, I still had my body, where there were an infinite number of angels and there was a lively atmosphere. A few angels stood by my side and began to touch my body, it tickled a little, but a lot of love flowed through me. Above me I saw the hand of God. The hand was much bigger than my body, which was protectively above me. It felt as if the angels were performing a spiritual operation on me. I was then whisked away to another place in heaven. Even from a distance I could see the Golden City - the New Jerusalem shining in its glory. The closer I got, the closer I saw a golden gate where Jesus Christ stood dressed in white. The gate was decorated with white and pink flowers. It was a wedding. I was also dressed in white and as I approached Jesus Christ, his eyes and his heart touched my eyes and my heart. My body was very full of light, but still there. Everything about me vibrated, flooded with infinite love, light and God's peace. At that moment, there was a merging in the heart between us. It felt as if heaven became one with the earth. My body was imbued with infinite love, beauty, strength and intimacy. This experience can hardly be described in human words, it was so intense and touching. Afterwards, I briefly returned to my body and was then sent on my way to the third heaven. On the way there, my body became lighter and lighter until it had completely dissolved. Another level/dimension of heaven was that my body was no longer there and only God's presence could be felt everywhere. In this "space", which was infinitely long, deep and wide, God was everything and at the same time nothing, there were no feelings in this place, no colors, no corners and edges and I couldn't see anything in the physical either, but in this nothingness everything was present at the same time. God was omnipresent, HE knew everything about me, every cell, every hair, although there was nothing about me in this place of glory. The only thing I was able to do was to perceive his glory, without emotions, without thoughts, there was only the one presence of God with which I was one and yet I could also somehow perceive this presence of God from "outside". I perceived God as a nothingness in the whole, which contained everything.
I was very grateful that I was allowed to have a witness with me, who sat by my body during the entire time and observed whether I was still breathing, as I was unable to move my body during the entire time of the rapture.
The Current State
All of humanity is in an apocalyptic (literally "unveiling") time. Since Jesus' ascension, we can see that the earth is in a great process of change. But especially in the last century, the proportion of corruption, wars, power, and greed for money, which governs the world more and more, has increased in many countries around the world. And it is because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold. (Matthew 24:12) The Covid-19 “pandemic” showed how easily society could be paralyzed through the use of propaganda, which filled the hearts and minds of society with a deadly infection of fear and panic. This will be followed by the planning of the one-world religion, in connection with the New World Order and the resulting abolition of cash and the acceptance of a mark on the right hand or brow (forehead), so that we are then no longer able to buy or sell (Revelation13:16-17) and we are forced to give up more and more fundamental rights, while at the same time being subjected to constant scrutiny.
And it was given to him to give breath to the image of the beast, so that the image of the beast would even speak and caused all to be killed who did not worship the image of the beast. And it brings all, the small and the great, and the rich and the poor, and the free and the slave, to have a mark put on their right hand, or on their foreheads; and that no one can buy or sell except he who has the mark, the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Here is the wisdom. Whoever understands, calculate the number of the beast! For it is a man's number; and his number is 666 (Rev. 13:15-18). And the smoke of their torment goes up from eternity to eternity, and they have no rest day and night that worship the beast and his image, and if anyone take the mark of his name. Here is the endurance of the saints who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus. (Revelation 14:11-12). But whoever endures to the end will be saved. (Matthew 24:13). All this was planned a long time ago by the forces of darkness, who will also try to carry out the plan. I won't go into more detail here because I want to concentrate exclusively on the almighty LORD.
It should be clear to every human being that there is a spiritual battle on taking place on earth against the spiritual powers of darkness. Because this is a spiritual battle everyone is called to accept and walk in their authority in Christ and act and rule accordingly wearing their spiritual armor (Eph. 6:10-20). However, it is of crucial importance to declare that Jesus Christ defeated Satan and completed His work more than 2000 years ago through His crucifixion and resurrection, having taken back dominion and glory over heaven and earth.
On October 1, 2020, I received another prophetic picture in my home church. I saw a mighty army of Christians who followed Jesus implicitly. An army of conquerors marching in a long line, with banners, a shofar, and musical instruments all wearing luminous robes. Their glory, authority, boldness, love, and the Word within them were so strong that no matter where they went, people were deeply moved and transformed in the power of Christ. I saw the ground beneath this army become luminous and demonic forces fled before them I received the message that now was the time for that army of conquering Christians to form, take position and go wherever He, the LORD, sends them, fearless and filled with the Holy Spirit.
In February 2022, I was sent by the Lord to Nicaragua, where I have been actively building the Ark with my brothers and sisters since I arrived. We are also in the process of building the Ark network in Germany and Europe. In each place the network growth is happening organically, growing as one body in Christ. It takes a great many Christians, or rather overcomers (Revelation. 2 & 3), who are willing to walk the narrow path with Jesus Christ alone, so that we grow ever closer together into one body. I myself am ready to give myself completely to him every day, in that it is no longer my will, but his will that happens in all my actions day and night, so that his glory can work more and more through me.
IMPLEMENTING THE VISION
When implementing the vision, it must be taken into account that Jesus Christ alone is the builder, leader, and provider of the Ark and He alone has the perfect plan, which He reveals to each individual in due course. In this way, a wide variety of projects, aid organizations, companies and communities can flow into the Ark at any time; everything is preordained by Jesus Christ. It will be possible that a sub-project is started first and then other parts of that project come together later. The Ark is a living organism that is constantly growing, organically and guided by the Holy Spirit. In the Ark it doesn't matter what tomorrow brings, it is enough to do what the Lord has planned for each today. Only in the here and now are we able to be in a living and intimate relationship with the Lord. I ask you to take all this into account when reading.
THE ARK For behold, I am creating new heavens and a new earth. And one will no longer think of what was before, and it will no longer come to mind. Rather, rejoice and rejoice at all times for what I create! For behold, I will create Jerusalem for rejoicing, and her people for joy. And I will rejoice over Jerusalem and rejoice over my people. And the voice of weeping and the voice of wailing will be heard no more in it. And there will be no more babies who will live only a few days, and no old men who will not live up to their days. For the youngest will die at the age of a hundred, and whoever does not reach the age of a hundred will be considered accursed. They will build houses and live in them, and plant vineyards and eat their fruit. They will not build and another inhabit, they will not plant and another eat. For like the life of the tree will be the life of my people, and my chosen ones will enjoy the work of their hands. They will not labor in vain, and they will not bear witness to sudden death. For they are the offspring of the blessed of the LORD, and their offspring shall be with them. And it will happen: before they call, I will answer; while they're still talking, I'll listen. The wolf and lamb will feed together; and the lion will eat straw like the ox; and the serpent: Dust will be their food. They shall not do evil in all my holy mountain, says the LORD (Isaiah 65:17-25). All scripture Elberfelder translation.
Now and in the near future we will enter a strong apocalyptic time, which is already known from the revelation of John, where it will be useful and necessary for us to become more and more independent in all areas of daily life. But the most important thing in everything is the intimate and living relationship with God. Because the LORD has already prepared everything and is now waiting for his children who are ready to follow him unconditionally. It will probably be in the next few years that we will no longer be able to buy or sell anything unless we follow certain things that the state will impose on society (Rev. 13:17). In the near future, all of society will experience more and more change brought about by governments and certain power holders of darkness. The changes society will face will diminish our basic rights and privileges, and people’s lives will become increasingly restricted and controlled as the one world order becomes more and more evident. The Ark project is to be established on Earth, worldwide. This network is under the sustenance of Jesus Christ. The people of the network (the Ark) have given their lives completely to Jesus Christ. These people are of all different ages, denominations, ethnic groups, and cultures. They believe the inerrant Holy bible, the Living Word and are willing and desiring to be led by the Holy Spirit in all aspects of life and to be transformed, by the love of God flowing from the heart of the Lord Jesus Christ. The Ark will have many different functions including everyday life and interconnected home churches working in unity. The Ark will be and is led by a council of elders under the headship of Jesus Christ. The goal is to build an organic network, including local farmers, local businesses and entrepreneurs of all kinds who choose to follow Jesus Christ completely.
THE MAIN GOALS OF GOD´S ARK:
He answered and said: ‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind, and your neighbour as yourself. (LK 10:27)
Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptising them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age. (Mt 28, 19-20)
And Jesus said to them: Go into all the world and preach the gospel to the whole creation. Whoever believes and is baptised will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned. But these signs will follow those who believe: In my name they will cast out demons; they will speak in new tongues; they will take up serpents, and if they drink anything deadly, it will not hurt them; they will lay hands on the weak, and they will be well. (MK 16, 15-18)
The structure of early Christian house churches, as described in the Acts of the Apostles. (Acts 10:1-14; 16:13-15; 16:25-34, 18:8)
A network of charity where people experience care on a spiritual, mental and physical level. Where everyone is invited to give from the heart according to their gifts and abilities, so that the body of Christ grows together as one.
But all who believed were together and had all things in common; and they sold their goods and possessions and distributed them to all according to their need, and daily they continued with one accord in the temple and broke bread at home, taking food with gladness and simplicity of heart, praising God and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added to them daily those who were being saved. (Acts 2:44-47) But above all, it is about sharing your wealth with those in need, taking the promised land and investing in His kingdom.
THE BRIDE - THE ARK COMMUNITY
For as the body is one, yet has many members, and all the members of the body, though many, are one body, so also is it with Christ. By the one Spirit we were all taken up in baptism into one body, Jew and Greek, slave and free; and we were all infused with the one Spirit. The body also consists not only of one member, but of many members. But God put the body together in such a way that he gave all the more honor to the disadvantaged member, so that there would be no discord in the body, but that all the members would work harmoniously and care for one another.
When one member suffers, all members suffer with it; when one member is honored, all members rejoice with it. We are all the body of Christ, and each individual is a member of it. (1 Corinthians 12:12-14 + 24-27).
This means that we look to one another in love and that we also look after one another including and especially the weak and the frail, so that the whole body can experience Christ's strength and health. The body of Christ is intergenerational, comprised of men, women, and children of all ages.
Jesus Christ is the head of the body, builder and provider of the Ark, and the only teacher in the church (Matthew 23:8-10).
The first commandment for everyone within the Ark is that we love God with all our heart, with all our soul and with all our mind and love our neighbor as ourselves (Matthew. 22, 37-39).
Within the Ark, love is the basis of all our thoughts, words, and actions. Everyone in Ark strives to become more like Jesus Christ every day as we are led by the Holy Spirit and allow Him to transform us into His image more and more completely This also means that we offer our body (body, soul, spirit) daily as a living sacrifice to Him, so that only His will can be done in us and His glory can work through us (Romans 12:1-2) in all areas of life we no longer live ourselves, but Jesus Christ through and with us (Galations 2:20).
For I died to the law by the law, that I might live to God; I am crucified with Christ, and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me; but what I now live in the flesh I live by faith, and that is by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself up for me. I do not invalidate the grace of God, for if righteousness comes by law, then Christ died in vain (Galations. 2:19-21).
This is a constant and changing process, whereby everyone in Ark, whether young or old, is fully prepared to see themselves as learners willing to be continuously transformed in mind and heart into the image and glory of Jesus Christ. Only in this way will it be possible to understand with the heart what Jesus Christ did for us on the cross; that we can no longer add or take away from this, because Jesus completed the work for us on the cross.
For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him will not be judged; but whoever does not believe is already judged, because he did not believe in the name of the only begotten Son of God. But in this consists the judgment, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness more than light; for their works were evil. For everyone who does evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his works be exposed. But whoever does the truth comes to the light so that his works may be revealed as having been done in God (John 3:16-21). Jesus says: "I am the way, the truth and the life, because none comes to the Father but through me" (John 14:6).
Those who belong to Jesus Christ are willing to let go of the passions and desires of their alienated (sinful) nature from God, to surrender them to Him. Because the more intimate our relationship with Him is, the greater the fruit of His Spirit can work through us.
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and selfcontrol (Galations 5:22).
Nor do you put new wine in old skins, lest the skins rupture and the wine be spilled, and the skins spoil; but one fills new wine into new bottles, so both are preserved together (Matthew 9:17).
This means for each individual to let go of all old structures, concepts and forms, and also to submit to the guidance of the Holy Spirit every moment, to be transformed and shaped by Him alone. Jesus Christ wants us to be more than overcomers (Romans 8:37). In Revelation chapters 2 & 3 it is stated that we have to be more than overcomers to enter eternity with Him. To be an overcomer means to find your way back to first love, to follow Jesus Christ uncompromisingly, to give your life to Him and to overcome old structures, religiosities, and dogmas. Overcoming also means to cease and refrain from the worship all idols, and to sincerely and honestly, under the guidance of the Holy Spirit allow Him to lead you in all things directing each and every part of your life. It takes this “overcomer” mentality to build up the Ark network. Are you ready to be an overcomer in Christ, ready to bring heaven to earth? Above all, the network of overcomers is built up by living in a loving and sincere relationship with God, entrusting everything to Him; casting all our cares and worries on Him, knowing that He always provides what we need spiritually, emotionally, and physically (1 Peter 5:7).
In Matthew 6:33 it says, "Seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and everything else will fall to you."
THE GIFTS AND TASKS OF THE BODY OF CHRIST
As varied as the gifts God gives us, they all come from the same Spirit. And as different as the tasks in the body are, it is the same Lord who enables us to do it. There are various workings of the Spirit of God; but in any case it is God Himself who does it all. However, the Holy Spirit manifests itself in each of us, His gifts are meant to benefit the whole church. All of this is done by one and the same spirit. And so everyone receives the gift that God intended for them. So God appointed some in the body first as apostles, second as prophets, third as teachers; further he bestowed the power to perform mighty works, then the gifts of healing diseases, of helping, of guiding, finally the various kinds of speaking in tongues. (1 Corinthians 12:4-7, 11, 28-29). This mission of Jesus’ disciples was to begin building a church of Christian believer. The Ark places special emphasis on the full development of the gifts and talents that God has placed in the hearts of His people. The people of the Ark (the Bride) will train and live out those gifts and ministries that He has placed in each of our hearts. Everyone in the Ark has something to give and share, so that all the fullness in the body of Christ can be seen and felt. No person in the Ark is made more important or special. All are to see one another through the eyes of love in Christ and each is to offer his gifts and services to God and serve one another with joy. Because a person who lives his calling and walks in Jesus Christ is full of life and joy.
EVANGELISM
Jesus said to the disciples, Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation. Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved; but whoever does not believe will be damned. But these signs will accompany those who have believed: In my name they will cast out demons, they will speak in new tongues, serpents will pick them up, and if they drink anything deadly, it will not harm them; They will lay hands on the sick and they will be well (Mark 16:15-18 and Luke 24:44-53).
But Peter said to them, Repent, and let each one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit (Acts 2:38).
Another great emphasis is placed on evangelism. For it is the task of all of us to make disciples of all nations and to baptize them in the name of Jesus Christ (Matthew. 28:19). Therefore, there will be regular discipleship trainings, which in turn will form new teams that will take to the streets to evangelize under the guidance of the Holy Spirit. The evangelism is to be confirmed by many signs and wonders so that the disciples are living testimonies of Jesus Christ. I assure you, whoever believes in me will do the things I do; yes he will do even greater things.
For I am going to the Father, and whatever ye then ask in my name I will do, that through the Son the glory of the Father may be revealed. If you're going to ask me anything on my behalf, I'll do it (John 14:12-13).
But whoever endures to the end will be saved. And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come (Mt 24:13-14).
HOME CHURCH NETWORK
Ekklesia, (from alter. ἐκκλησία, literally "the one called out") means "community of believers". A network of active home churches will extend throughout the Ark creating greater unity among all the believers and precision in the collective work being done throughout the Ark. The focus of the home church is always the Holy Spirit, who fills the home and permeates each individual with spiritual gifts.
For Jesus says: "Where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I in the midst of them"(Matthew 18: 20).
The home church is not an organization but a living organism in which everyone present is of equal value. Everyone has something to give and to share, and everyone is heard so that a living relationship develops in the body and this relationship can continue to grow and spread throughout the Ark (1 Corinthians 14: 26). Every home church should work outwards as well as inwards. Evangelism and mission are the forms of external action and internally this community works in love, truth and help among one another, as well as in teaching and mutual encouragement. Worship, prayer, healing, deliverance service, devotion, communion, eating together and sharing, marriage and funerals and much more are part of the common circle. The home church or home group should also be a place of refuge for those who are searching for God, but also for people who have found God and want to take further steps and grow in faith (Ephesians 2:10; Hebrews 13:15-16). The home churches spread out like living cells that join together at intervals to form higher-level meetings, so that a supra-regional network can develop. The task here is to invite the various home churches to exchange ideas and also to advance the planning and implementation of joint projects. This joint work is an expression of unity in the body of Christ.
"Then no one will teach his neighbor or his brother, saying, 'Know the LORD! For they will all know me, from their smallest to their greatest, says the LORD." (Jeremiah 31:34)
COUNCIL OF ELDERS
We are not to be called teachers; for Jesus Christ is the only Lord and Master, but we are all brothers to one another. Also, we are not to name anyone as a father on earth, because the only true father is our father in heaven. The greatest among you shall be your servant. He who exalts himself will be humbled; and whoever humbles himself will be exalted (Matthew 23:8-12).
Be vigilant and keep your faith! Be determined and strong! In everything you do, let love guide you (1 Corinthians 16:13-14).
The Council of Elders are people chosen by God who are able to make important and strategic decisions about financial resources, Christian projects, buildings, etc. The conventional power and financial structure will experience a major change worldwide in the next few years, which will free up a lot of money and thus enter the cycle of divine order in Christ. One of the main tasks of the Council of Elders is to redistribute these funds accordingly so that the Ark can be built up and Christian projects and organizations that are in line with Ark can be supported. Optimally,
12 people are planned for the council of elders. Three people, chosen by God, will form the innermost core of the Elder Council. The Council makes a decision when 100% unity is achieved. In the Council of Elders, decisions on matters are made exclusively in connection with the Holy Spirit.
People who sit on the council of elders are characterized by their great ability to love in Christ. They are called by God and determined to let go of everything again and again for Jesus Christ. Your heart has already been very finely honed by Jesus Christ, so that you no longer want to do anything without him; not yourself, but only the Almighty working through you. There is no discussion or opinion in the council as there is a higher truth to be attained.
In carrying out the duties of the council of elders, the greatest shall be your servant and none shall exalt himself above the others.
ARK ADMINISTRATION
The Ark administration offices and staff manage and organize all Ark projects, including all Ark finances, public relations, online marketing/administration, and other office work. The Ark administration is also guided by the Holy Spirit and the Council of Elders.
ARK FINANCES
So don't worry and don't ask: What shall we eat? What should we drink? What should we wear? For this is what the heathen strive for. Your Heavenly Father knows you need all of this. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness; then everything else will be added to you. 14 So don't worry about tomorrow; for tomorrow will take care of itself. Every day has enough of its own plague (Matthew 6:31-34).
Whoever asks you, give; and whoever takes what is yours, do not demand it back from him (Luke 6:30).
Each one as he has made up his mind in his heart, not with reluctance or under compulsion; for God loves a cheerful giver (2 Corinthians 9:7).
Because when there is good will, everyone is welcome for what they have, not for what they don't have (2 Corinthians 8:12).
Give and it will be given to you. A full, pressed, shaken, and overflowing measure will be poured into your bosom; for with the very measure with which you measure, it will be measured to you (Luke 6:38).
Parable of the workers in the vineyard. For the kingdom of heaven is like a householder who went out early in the morning to hire workers in his vineyard. But after agreeing with the laborers for a denarius a day, he sent them into his vineyard. And going out about the third hour, he saw others standing idle in the marketplace; and to these he said: Go ye also into the vineyard. And what is right I will give you, but they went away. But again he went out about the sixth and ninth hour and did the same. But when he went out about the eleventh hour, he found others standing and said to them, why are you standing idle here all day? They say to him: Because nobody hired us. He says to them: You, too, go into the vineyard. But when evening had come, the owner of the vineyard said to his manager: Call the laborers and pay them their wages, beginning with the last to the first. And when they came about the eleventh hour, they each received a denarius. But when the first came, they supposed that they would receive more; and they also each received a denarius. But when they received it, they murmured against the householder, saying, these last worked an hour, and you made them like us who have borne the burden of the day and the heat. But he answered and said to one of them, Friend, I do you no wrong. did you not agree with me for a denarius? Take yours and go! But I want to give to this last one as well as to you. Am I not allowed to do what I want with mine? Or does your eye look angry because I am kind? So shall the last be first and the first last; for many are called, but few are chosen. (Mt 20:1-16)
The Ark exists as a network of people devoted to Jesus Christ and where He is the focus in all areas of work and life. The people of the Ark will know that Jesus Christ is the builder, teacher and provider of the Ark. Spiritual principles and not earthly principals will rule in the economy of the Ark. We are already joint heirs of his inheritance in heaven and on earth (Ephesians 1).
As joint heirs, the people in the Ark will freely give to one another from the heart. All forms of giving will be welcomed as long as it comes from the heart. Ark projects will also operate according to this divine economic system, as it is described in the parable in Matthew 20: 1-16.
Everyone receives monetary or other benefits from the individual Ark projects according to their needs. I was shown a picture (by God) that stands in the middle of the Ark and also at the center of each individual project, it is an image of Jesus Christ as an overflowing chalice. He is our provision. All achievements and gifts that we bring to the respective projects will serve one purpose, glorifying God. Because everything comes from Him and flows back to Him and so the divine cup is in constantly full and there is always more than enough for everyone. The aim is to grow together into one body in Christ and to serve one another.
There will be a global redistribution of finances at the end times. Large sums of money are being released for the development of Ark. The Council of Elders has the task of deciding which projects and organizations will receive money. Gold and silver will be available in large quantities to redistribute God's riches on earth through people who willingly follow His path to bring His glory to earth.
A book that describes this new economic and financial system very well was published in 2012 by Andrew Baker, titled: Awakening to God's Economic System. The organization NEHEMIA Creation Care, which builds new solutions on a foundation of Christian values, will support individuals, companies and Christian-led projects and organizations in releasing financial resources in the end times and show ways of financial independence, which will be of decisive importance in the end times. The founder of the company is Jürgen Mohr. There are also several other companies and organizations that are building similar structures and have been called by God to do so.
To this end, there will be the establishment of various Christian financial and economic organizations that have set themselves the goal of building a christian and Holy Spirit-led financial and economic system in the transition/end times, which is based on Christian values from the Bible and creates solutions that will help humanity to be well provided for financially even in critical times.
Ultimately, the aim should be to build up a network of God's overflowing grace should be more and more without money, but solely through acting out of the love of God in the heart, where all people in the network and all those in need are cared for by the grace of Jesus Christ. All Christians serve one another, each with his gifts and talents, free in heart and totally dependent on Christ. Thus, an ARK is created, a body in Christ, where God is the builder, the guide, and the provider. This is the preparation for Jesus' coming, for we are his bride adorned like the New Jerusalem coming down from heaven. For in the heart dwells Jesus Christ, who reveals himself in us when we are ready to reveal our hearts, fully surrendering our body to Him daily so that He may be fully glorified in us, so that heaven may come to earth, the promised land, the New Jerusalem.
CHILDREN
Jesus says: "Truly I say to you, unless you turn and become like children, you will not enter the kingdom of heaven". (Matthew 18:3b)
Jesus loves children and we should become more and more like them. There is also a lot of focus on children of all ages. Young children are still pure/unencumbered by their thoughts, actions and words and can also serve as role models for adults. All Christians in the Ark will be involved in raising children, especially the elderly and single people, so that the whole community is involved in raising children. From an early age, the children will be taught the living word from the Bible, and through child-oriented stories and Christ centered children’s books. But even more important is the Ark’s direct relationship with God, creating a togetherness based on Christian values in the love of Jesus Christ and a willingness to be guided completely by the Holy Spirit. In this way, the children will experience from an early age that they are the beloved children of God, by being accepted in their uniqueness and by being encouraged in their gifts and talents right from the start. Relationships with mothers and fathers are particularly important.
Kindergarten:
Therefore you should also be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect (Matthew 5:48).
So, as many as are perfect, let us be of the same mind, and if you are of a different mind, God will reveal that also to you (Philippians 3:15).
In kindergarten, children will experience a strong social togetherness with one another. Unity and love in Christ will be felt through sharing things with one another, learning to listen to one another, working together in groups, forgiving one another, learning gratitude and being able to support one another and supporting diversity. But children are also naturally involved in the daily routines of adults. This means that children are included in the many Ark projects, such as gardening, building maintenance, construction, and creative projects. so This is that the children quickly gain insight and learn about the different common areas of coexistence. Children are therefore involved everywhere in social events, which should above all strengthen their ability to relate to one another. Through natural learning in dealing with nature and objects, they learn the laws of nature in the implementation of practical things. You not only learn how to deal with numbers, materials, tools and much more, but also manual skills, teamwork, perseverance, organization and above all the joy of creating and realizing things together. While there is a lounge and gym for the children with various child-friendly games, the main focus is on working together in the community and connecting with nature outdoors. Children with disabilities are treated as equals and are as involved in circles and community life as anyone else. Since Jesus Christ is the focus of all actions and activities, special value is placed on Christian education and the Word of God.
School
The school should grow organically in a Christian community of Ark. As in kindergarten, great importance is attached to natural learning. For the students, this means that learning takes place in nature and in the implementation of practical things. In this way, children learn with all their senses. Craft businesses are available for this in all areas where children and teenagers can get involved in various projects and have the opportunity to learn in various practical, versatile, and holistic ways. Of course, the focus of all learning in the Ark is on the living relationship with Jesus Christ, the teaching of Christian values, knowledge of the holy Bible and the guidance of the Holy Spirit. This happens above all through authentic contact and a living relationship with God and with each other. As a result, children and adults learn to live more and more in the supernatural. God has placed the perfect blueprint in each of us and this must be recognized and released so that everyone can develop to their full potential. This happens as we become more and more like Jesus Christ and thereby are able to act, live and also learn more and more in the supernatural.
Jesus Christ has already laid a perfect blueprint in each of us. He has already written in our hearts all the talents and gifts for which we are called and chosen. Thus, all knowledge is already anchored in us and wants to be activated and brought into consciousness. As a result, the school of the supernatural occupies a large place, so that it is also possible to acquire knowledge much more quickly, with the focus being directed towards showing the children the divine plan intended for them, which the LORD has already written in their hearts. Once a child sees this divine plan for their life, their full potential can begin unfold and manifest. The social and appreciative interaction with each other also plays an important role in the school. However, should conflicts arise, they are resolved using the Word of God, daily actions in forgiveness and gratitude, and the situation is thus brought into divine order. Conflicts are addressed directly and solved using Christian principles, such as gratitude, forgiveness, appreciative words, etc., making harmonious and undisturbed learning possible.
Bear with one another and forgive one another when one has a complaint against another; just as Christ forgave you, so also you (Col. 3:13).
HEALTH
But Jesus said to him, You say, If you can! All things are possible to the one who believes (Mark 9:23).
The chastisement is upon him, that we may have peace, and by his wounds we are healed (Isaiah 53:5).
A merry heart is good for the body, but a troubled mind withers the bones (Proverbs 17: 22).
So confess your sins to one another and pray for one another that you may be healed. The prayer of the righteous is of great use if it is earnest (James 5:16).
It is our job to heal the sick, raise the dead and cast out demons. And this task should not only be carried out by a chosen few, but by all Christians, anytime and anywhere, because Jesus Christ lives in each of us! Also in house churches, church services and prayer meetings etc. there should always be time to lay hands on others. Therefore it is very important that we understand ourselves as the living body of Christ and recognize our true identity in HIM. As we become more and more an expression of His glory.
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. He has blessed us with all the blessings of His Spirit through our fellowship with Christ in heaven. For in him he chose us before the foundation of the world to be holy and blameless before him. He predestined us out of love to become his sons through Jesus Christ and to come unto him according to his gracious will, to the praise of his glorious grace. He gave it to us in his beloved Son. In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins according to the riches of his grace. Through them HE has given us rich gifts, in all wisdom and insight, He has made known to us the secret of his will, as He graciously determined it in him beforehand. He has decided to usher in the fullness of the times. To summarize Christ as the head, what is in heaven and on earth, in him. In him we are also predestined as heirs according to the plan of him who works everything as he decrees in his will; we are destined to the praise of his glory, which we formerly hoped for in Christ. In him you also heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation; in him you received the seal of the promised Holy Spirit when you believed (Ephesians 1:3-13).
Caring for the Elderly and those in Need
Older people and people in need of care belong to the community, just like all other groups of people. Depending on your needs and gifts, you take an equally active part in what is happening. Your wisdom, especially in relation to children, is gratefully accepted and appreciated. I believe and trust that the more we let Christ change us, the more we become like Jesus Christ. In this way, illnesses, infirmities and suffering, which often come into play in old age, will have less and less importance or will not occur at all, instead we will become living disciples in the LORD.
For Jesus Christ says: "Behold, I make all things new". (Rev. 21:5)
The chastisement for our peace was upon him, and by his stripes we are healed (Isaiah 53:5).
EDUCATION
Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another and singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs dear to the Lord in your hearts (Col. 19 3:16).
I want to instruct you and teach you the way that you should go; I will advise you, my eye is over you. (Psalm 32:8)
Whatever you have learned and received and heard and seen in me, do that! And the God of peace will be with you. (Philippians 4:9)
He who loves discipline loves knowledge; and he who hates admonition is stupid (Proverbs 12:1). But you, do not let yourselves be called Rabbi, for one is your teacher, Jesus Christ, but you are all brothers. (Mt 23:8)
Jesus is the head of the church, and we are the body. Depending on our gifts, talents and tasks, we all learn from each other, because everyone has something to give. Jesus Christ under the guidance of the Holy Spirit and the biblical word is always at the center of all thoughts and actions. In the center of the ARCHE there will be various event rooms where church services, conferences, seminars and training courses and national and international conferences will take place. The Ark offers various educational opportunities to strengthen the Holy Spirit and to walk more intensively in the Word of God. All knowledge and wisdom is present in the Holy Spirit and this must be grasped and internalized in the spirit and in the heart. Above all, the spiritual principles should be trained, deepened, and internalized so that Christians are able to walk more in the supernatural every day, so that His glory works more and more through us. Regular training and an ongoing seminar area will cover all areas of evangelism, supernatural training, healing, prophecy, creativity and music It is a major concern and goal of Ark, as quickly as possible, to lead people to their God-determined vocation, so that they themselves can sow seeds into the kingdom of God. Various public spaces such as restaurants, cafes and the like will also be available to give people the opportunity to exchange ideas about God.
CREATIVITY
Whatever you do, do it from the heart as to the Lord and not to man (Col. 3:23).
He has filled their hearts with wisdom to make all kinds of works, to cut, to knit, to embroider with blue, and purple, and scarlet, and white linen, and to weave, to make all kinds of works, and to invent works of art (Exodus 35:35).
For we are his work, created in Jesus Christ for good works, which God prepared us beforehand to walk in them (Ephesians 2:10).
God is the creator of heaven and earth. In His infinite creativity and creative power. He created the glory of God in overwhelming variety here on earth and in the universe, including humans and animals. Creativity will also have its place at the center of Ark. Creative and handicraft workshops with several rooms for painting, clay, wood, wool, stone and many other materials should be available for young and old. Old handicraft techniques are refreshed and learned so that practical things for everyday life are also made, such as pottery crockery, carpets, wooden bowls, clothing and much more. People who have their gifts in the creative field work creatively with each other. Music and singing will also be an important part, where you can try out, experiment, and create new songs. There will be theater groups, flag army and dance groups as well as prophetic painting, writing, and Christian art. Each individual is now called to align their life entirely with Jesus Christ.
GLORY PLACE
They will build houses and live in them, and plant vineyards and eat their fruit. They will not build and another inhabit, they will not plant and another eat. For like the life of the tree will be the life of my people, and my chosen ones will enjoy the work of their hands (Isa. 65:21:22).
And though I go to prepare the place for you, yet I will come again and take you with me, that you may be where I am. (John 14.3)
And you multiplied their children like the stars in the sky, and brought them into the land that you promised their fathers to come in and possess. (Neh. 9:23)
Architecture
God is the creator of everything that exists. So I am aware that HE has already created the perfect places and places with buildings for the embodiment of His glory. An ARCHE that is entirely to his liking. The LORD knows where the right places and locations are for building and running these centers, and accordingly HE will lead people to help build these places of glory. These people were prepared for this task. Likewise, much will be supernaturally brought to the people of the ARCHE and made available, so that the land prepared by God will be taken.
Technology & Trade
The Ark should not be a finished place, but there should be the possibility to create more rooms, ... buildings. So there should be a maintenance workshop, carpentry, technician workshop and an instrument workshop on site, and also workshops in as many crafts as possible, where people learn with and from each other and everyone contributes according to their talents and skills. Children and young people also have the opportunity to pursue their interests and talents and to train accordingly in the various craft areas. There are also workshops for the maintenance and conservation of the place to restore or repair objects.
GARDEN OF EDEN
For creation is subjected to corruption, not willingly, but by him who subjected it, in the hope that creation itself too may be delivered from the bondage of mortality to the liberty of the glory of the children of God. The tense expectation of creation longs for the revelation of the sons of God. For we know that all creation is groaning and laboring with you until now! (Romans 8:19-22).
So neither is he who plants anything, nor he who waters, but God who gives growth (1 Cor. 3:7).
The Ark network is not only subordinate to the spiritual life provided by God, but also to the physical food supply. It is understood that it is through Him that the Ark community is able to thrive on all levels. A network of farmers will work together on site and in the geographic vicinity, so that the Ark is also optimally supplied with an abundance of organic vegetables, fruits and herbs. All plants and animals will be kept in a species-appropriate manner and well cared for. There will be a diversity of species and original types of seeding fruit, herbs and vegetables grown without chemicals of any kind. All farming work will be performed with a minimum of machinery using a holistic approach including principles of permaculture and terra preta. Meat consumption will play a subordinate role, as the majority of people will be following a vegan or vegetarian diet. 21 Because God has given us a magnificent creation, herbal medicines will be used to keep us healthy and physically well cared for. Farmers should get a lot of support from the Ark network. From the sowing to the harvest and the subsequent transfer, everything must be well organized and processed and distributed with love.
ECOLOGY AND RENEWABLE ENERGIES
The concern of the people of the Ark is to live in accordance with the laws of nature and the laws of the spirit, under the perfect dominion of God. If possible, everything should be upgraded to renewable, self-sufficient energies, so that the Ark is independent of all public or private providers of energy supply. The Ark should establish its own energy and supply system for electricity, heating, and water, as well as composting toilets and constructed wetlands, which draws on a 100% self-sufficient supply. Biological primeval plants will be used and the planting of vegetables and other things is done according to ecological, holistic points of view. Devices that depend on electricity are also powered by renewable energy.
PRODUCTION
There will be different areas and types of production. Groceries The organic production and preservation of foods such as jams, fermented foods, cereal products, muesli, spreads, pestos, etc. The aim is that the community is also completely self-sufficient in the area of food and still has the opportunity to support other people with food. For this purpose, a network of local farmers is being set up, where they work together. Technology The production of different types of media, such as CDs, DVDs, videos, own video channel and TV stations. As long as there is still access to media. The Ark’s goal is to make the Word of God, prayer and worship available and broadcast free of charge via many different media. Enlightenment, evangelism, prayer, praise, training of the Holy Spirit, release and healing will be a large part of the task area in order to lead as many people as possible to Jesus Christ. However, it will become increasingly important in the future for Ark to make itself as independent as possible from electricity, satellites, and internet providers in this area and to form its own, self-sufficient communication platforms.
CONTACT
For the LORD says “My sheep hear my voice, I know them and they follow me” (John 10:27).
Do not think of the past, and pay no attention to the past! See I'm making everything new (Isaiah. 43, 18 and 19).
Are you ready, trusting in the Lord and his spiritual guidance, to follow Him unconditionally? Are you called to be more than an overcomer, ready for an intimate relationship with God? Let God show you to what extent you are involved with the vision and how you want to get involved. If you would like to be part of the body of this vision, I would be very happy if you contact us. You are welcome to tell others about it and pass on the Ark vision. The Lord has placed in each individual's heart one or more wonderful gifts and talents to be lived now so that the whole body of Christ may reflect His glory. I am also willing to give lectures wherever I am invited. For more information please contact us:
