What we believe at the ARK

THE OBJECTIVE WILL OF GOD

At the Ark, we believe that everything is ultimately tied to “The Objective Will of God.” With so many perspectives on what God's Will is, we felt it essential to provide our perspective of God's Objective Will, for your clarity. Teachings on the topic are available (Currently Pending), under this platform. Many perspectives are “Subjective” ideas rooted in denominational standards, religious doctrine, or theological constructs. But our position is definitive, Scripturally confirmable proof of God’s ultimate desire and perfect Will for us, as stated in Romans 12:2 (AMPC), “Do not be conformed to this world (this age), [fashioned after and adapted to its external, superficial customs], but be transformed (changed) by the [entire] renewal of your mind [by its new ideals and its new attitude], so that you may prove [for yourselves] what is the good and acceptable and perfect will of God, even the thing which is good and acceptable and perfect [in His sight for you]. 

 

Furthermore, God's Objective Will is His predestined desire to fulfill the following scriptures for all eternity. Romans 8:30 (AMPC), And those whom He thus foreordained, He also called; and those whom He called, He also justified (acquitted, made righteous, putting them into right standing with Himself). And those whom He justified, He also glorified [raising them to a heavenly dignity and condition or state of being].

Leviticus 26:12 (AMPC), “And I will walk in and with and among you and will be your God, and you shall be My people.”

 

The ARK Ministry believes that everything associated with this ministry should be done through a spiritually renewed mind, towards fulfilling "God's Objective Will." We believe that anything done by this Ministry or under its banner relinquishes control and humbly submits to the authoritative Word of God in the Bible (Scripture) ahead of all else. Should any association with this Ministry be found in error to this doctrine, The ARK Ministry wholly rejects it. There is no ARK Ministry outside of fulfilling God's purpose and "Objective will."

 

• Scripture can substantiate all teachings under the ARK banner or will have a sound scriptural basis. Some practices by the ARK ministry may not be specific to Scripture (use of cars, computers, and other modern technology and advancements). Still, we will not violate or justify the violation of Scripture in the exercise thereof. All things are Lawful, but all things are not expedient. We will always seek to do that which is Scripturally and Biblically expedient.

• We believe the Bible is the inerrant Word of God. Though written by men, it was inspired and given by God. We at the ARK hold to the truth that any perceived error or contradiction of Scripture is a misunderstanding, a lack of correct teaching, ignorance, or willful rejection of the greater truths contained within it.

• We believe in what is called the Trinity: God in three persons, Father, Son (Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior), and the Holy Spirit. Ref: Baptism of Jesus. Matthew 3:16-17

• We believe the God of the Bible is the sole source and creator of all things, that all things (as we know them humanly) are sustained by the truth and power of what God has said and done (which is revealed in Scripture). He will NEVER alter, change (same yesterday, today, and forever), twist His word for any reason, because it would violate the heavenly laws He established to uphold the divine and natural laws until the Bible age (as we know it) is fulfilled.

• We believe God to be the sole architect of creation, and He is the Truth (not a truth), because He alone is the giver and sustaining power and source of Life. Life is the spark, spirit, and truth that animates all living things. No man, nor any other source, can account for it, nor control life aside from God. Therefore, God is the ultimate authority and Truth.

• We believe God speaks to us by revealing His plans and Will through Scripture and by His Holy Spirit. 

• The ARK Ministries believes God's over-reaching Objective Will (unquestionable desire) was, is, and will forever be, as previously stated, to be our God (Lord over all humanity, past, present, and future). He desires that no human, whoever existed, should perish. Be damned to hellfire and His judgment, actions intended ONLY for the Devil and his followers, but that we should be His people in an eternal relationship.

• We believe in the Holy Spirit (Ghost). He is God in the divine spirit that indwells God. He is the essence of God, and all that God is. He indwells those who conform to God’s Will and embrace God as Father through Jesus Christ. Through Him and ONLY through Him are the scriptures made clear to us. He is our covering, instructor, guide, and teacher. He is the source of God's power, which can raise the dead, heal the sick, give life, take life, create, and damn. He is the greatest source of Power, and no one can ever attain more or greater power than He. He was given to men to dwell in their hearts to ensure we remain in God’s Truth, Grace, and Favor. He will NEVER violate God's Word. To do so would violate and invalidate Himself, causing all created things to collapse into chaos, destruction, and nonexistence because He upholds them all through Jesus, the Word of God.

• We believe Jesus Christ of the Bible and Scripture is the Son of God and is also God as part of the eternal power and Godhead Romans 1:20 (AMPC), For ever since the creation of the world His invisible nature and attributes, that is, His eternal power and divinity, have been made intelligible and clearly discernible in and through the things that have been made (His handiworks). So, [men] are without excuse [altogether without any defense or justification]. He is Lord and Savior. His coming to earth as God in the flesh was prophesied. He was conceived by God’s spirit through a virgin woman named Mary and was born in Bethlehem according to the Scripture. He suffered, died on the cross to save all humanity from sin (violation of God's law), thereby initiating life with God through Grace by Faith in Him, giving favor (gifts to men) and the fulfillment of God's restorative plan to redeem humanity from their sins that separated them from Him. Jesus is the Word of God; every word spoken of God is embodied in Jesus. To know Jesus is to know God. John 1:3 (AMPC), All things were made and came into existence through Him; and without Him was not even one thing made that has come into being.
