<TITLE>09. Par 88-102</TITLE>L-88 And God said that His Word is a seed that a sower sowed, and it must fall in the right kind of soil. That soil is faith. It's a seed, and it must fall into this ground, or it cannot be quickened. In other words, the Holy Spirit, Defense Witness here, says that He can't even come to it until it falls in the right kind of soil. He is the quickener of it.
The Defense Witness calls his first witness.

L-89   I think if the prosecutor could call witnesses, here on earth, that it prove that the Word was wrong, I think the Defense Witness has a right to call witnesses who can prove It is right. Because, the question now is between believers and unbelievers, with the Word, as the Word grow.

L-90 The Defense Witness wants to introduce to this court, this afternoon, the first witness, is Noah. Noah said that he lived in a very scientific age. Noah wants to testify. And he said he lived in a day when people had got away from miracles and things. And then he heard the Word of God tell him that He was going to destroy the world by water, and the water would come down from above. It would rain, which it never had did it before. But he says that the--the Word of God, him being a prophet, the Word came to him, and he went to preaching that the Word was going to come to pass, because It was God. And he wants to also let this court know that Mr. Unbeliever, Mr. Skeptic, and Mr. Impatient, tempted him all along. But being a prophet, knowing that God could not lie, he held onto the Word, regardless.

L-91   They come to him and said, "Now, Noah," Mr. Unbeliever said, "how you going to prove there is any rain up there?"

L-92 "I don't know where it's at. But if God said so, that--that settles it."
"How is it going to rain when there is no rain up there?"
"I don't know. But God said so, and that settles it."

L-93 Mr. Skeptic come around and said, "If it would be such a thing as rain come down there, then He is going to have to come down here and get rain and take it up there. How is He going to do that?"
"I don't know." "And after I built the ark..."

L-94   First he wants to say, that when he made this statement, being a prophet among the people, everybody laughed at him, and said, "I don't see any rain."

L-95 Well, when he went to work on the ark, they said, "Maybe after the ark..." Mr.--Mr. Impatience tried to tell him, "Maybe after the ark is built, then it'll come a rain." But when the ark was completed, it still didn't rain.

L-96 It never rained the next day, it never rained the next week, it never rained--it never rained the next month, the next year. And when he completed the ark, it still didn't rain.

L-97   And then he said, one day the Voice of God come back to him and told him that he would see a supernatural sign amongst nature, that the birds and animals would be going into this. And then Mr. Unbeliever laughed at him and said, "It's become a habitation of birds. He made a roost, instead." And all laughed and made fun of him.
But, one day, God spoke to him, and said, "Go in the ark."

L-98 And Noah stood in the door and said, "You're getting your last call. Come in!" And nobody come in but his own family.

L-99 So he says he went in the ark. And he said to his lovely little family, now, this is prophet Noah, "Oh, in another hour, no doubt, the rain will be falling."

L-100 And when he went in, the door supernaturally closed behind him. He said, "You see now, honey," to his wife, to his daughter-in-law's and his sons, "we are locked in with God.

L-101   "Now we got a window up here. Run up the steps, real quick. Don't miss it. Run up, real quick, and go up here now. It's fixing to rain, no doubt."

L-102 And some of the people out there that heard him preach, said, "Wonder if that old fanatic could be right?" Mr. Unbeliever, Mr. Skeptic, Mr. Impatient, they all come around, said, "We'll find out." Said, "Noah are you in there?"
"Yes."
"Open up, we'd like to look around."
