Noah


Of clean animals and of animals that are not clean, and of birds and fowls, and of everything that creeps on the ground, There went in two and two with Noah into the ark, the male and the female, as God had commanded Noah. And after the seven days the floodwaters came upon the earth or land. Genesis 7:8-10

There is a ton of talk lately regarding Noah, mainly because Hollywood has just released a movie based on his story. Believers and non-believers are debating whether the story is true and whether or not a person could build a boat to hold so many creatures? I have to laugh at all of the debate. To even debate whether God could have it done seems so ridiculous to me. Look, we Christians believe that our Father came from nowhere, stood on nothing, spoke and here it all is. We believe that He came down to the earth, took some clay, breathed into it, and here we are. So could our Father have thousands of animals fit on a boat? To those of us who have been chosen, of course He could. Our Father could have shrunk them or caused them to all hibernate for while they were on the ark. He could have killed them all and then raised them from the dead when the journey was over. He could have had Noah only collect baby animals. He could have enlightened Noah to only have embryos. The Ark could have been a portal into another dimension. Or our Father could have had full grown animals walk right up on the Ark with Noah. 
This is God we are talking about! Our Father had an army march around a wall for seven days and on the last day the wall fell, Joshua 6. Our Father had a boy kill a Giant with a stone, 1 Samuel 17. He turned water into wine, John 2. So having Noah make an Ark and then having it filled with animals is no big deal for our Father.
We need to relax when asked to debate a Truth of our Father, because the Holy Spirit will give us exactly what to say, Luke 12:12. I once had a guy scream out to me in a crowded waiting room, demanding that I answer his question of if God could create a rock that He could not lift. The Holy Spirit just blurted out through me, "of course He can, He is God. Then He can create a way to lift it." The same guy a couple of weeks later yelled out that he had seen aliens and that it proved that there wasn’t a God. So the Holy Spirit had me answer him: "yeah so did Ezekiel, go and read about it in Ezekiel Chapter 1.”
The world thinks in terms of the flesh. We now have the Mind of Christ so we cannot help but to think in terms of the Spirit. So we are empowered to relax when asked by the world about Biblical Truths. Many will not believe, but that is alright. Because we have the Holy Spirit within us crying out for them as we are used to intercede for them with the fullest measure of our Father's Divine Presence.
