THE GOD MAN CYCLE

DERRICK BUILD ME AN ARK( THE GOD MAN CYCLE sermon story4)

And the Lord spoke to me & said: “In six months I’m going to make it rain until the whole earth is covered with water & all the evil people are destroyed. But I want to save a few good people, and two of every kind of living thing on the planet. I am ordering you to build Me an Ark.”
And in a flash of lightning he delivered the specifications for the Ark.
“OK,” i answered, trembling in fear and fumbling with the blueprints.
“Six months, and it starts to rain, “thundered the Lord. “You’d better have my Ark completed, or learn how to swim for a very long time.”
And six months passed. The skies began to cloud up and rain began to fall. The Lord saw that i was sitting in his front yard, weeping. And there was no Ark.
“Derrick,” shouted the Lord, “where is my Ark?” A lighting bolt crashed to the ground next to me.
“Lord, please forgive me!” i begged. “I did my best. But there were big problems.
First I had to get a building permit for the Ark construction project, and your plans didn’t meet code. So I had to hire an engineer to redraw the plans.
Then I got into a big fight over whether or not the Ark needed a fire sprinkler system.
My neighbors objected, claiming I was violating zoning by building the Ark in my front yard, so I had to get a variance from the city planning commission.
Then I had a big problem getting enough wood for the Ark because there was a ban on cutting trees to save owls. I had to convince U.S.Fish and Wildlife that I needed wood to save the owls. But they wouldn’t let me catch any owls. So no owls.
Then the carpenters formed a union and went out on strike. I had to negotiate a settlement with the National Labor Relations Board before anyone would pick up a saw or hammer. Now we have 16 carpenters going on the boat and still no owls.
Then I started gathering up animals, and got sued by animal rights group. They objected to me taking only two of each kind.
Just when I got the suit dismissed, EPA notified me that I couldn’t complete the Ark without filing an environmental impact statement on your proposed flood. They didn’t take kindly to the idea that they had no jurisdiction over the conduct of a Supreme Being.
Then the Army Corps of Engineers wanted a map of the proposed new flood plain. I sent them a globe.
Right now I’m still trying to resolve a complaint from the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission over how many Croatians I’m supposed to hire, the IRS has seized all my assets claiming I’m trying to avoid paying taxes by leaving the country, and I just got a notice from the state about owing some kind of use tax.
I really don’t think I can finish your Ark for at least another five years,” i wailed.
The sky began to clear. The sun began to shine. A rainbow arched across the sky.
i looked up and smiled. “You mean you’re not going to destroy the earth?” i asked, hopefully.
the Lord looked down on me sadly and disappointed but said nothing.
*('Right from Genesis the story of Adam and Eve, man found himself making excuses for disobeying God. Then came the great prophets ,like Jonah and Jeremiah running away from Gods calling , hiding their faces from the all seeing God thinking their excuses could shield them from the light that comes from God. In our modern times we find this mostly in our churches; our tithing , our fasting and our daily scripture study. THE LORD LOOKS DOWN ON US ,SAD AND DISAPPOINTED.
Study these GENESIS 3,JEREMIAH 1)
