(Joshua 10:12) On the day the Lord gave the Amorites over to Israel, Joshua said to the Lord in the presence of Israel: “Sun, stand still over Gibeon, and you, moon, over the Valley of Aijalon.”
(Joshua 10:13) So the sun stood still, and the moon stopped, till the nation avenged itself on its enemies...
At some point, this transcendental event, which was incredible, was mysteriously accepted by me. It was when Genesis 1:1 “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth” came into my mind. It happened in 1986.
Once the belief that God is the Creator was planted in my heart, all the 66 books of the Bible that seemed fictional and mythical stories were fully accepted as what happened.
The Creator of the cosmos surely can stop its move. The supernatural parts of the Gospel, such as the virgin birth of Jesus and resurrection of Jesus, were also accepted as truth.
My own belief didn't play any role about it. When the faith that God is the Creator flew into my heart, all the events of the Bible were accepted. It was a more fantasy-like mystery than any other fantasy movie.
My Christian Life did not begin in my own belief. I could believe in Jesus because of the 'given faith' that God the Creator put into my heart. Praise be to God who has done a marvelous thing in my life.
(Psalm 77:14) You are the God who performs miracles; you display your power among the peoples.
