What Bruce Almighty Reminded Me About God

Call me weird if you want, but isn't it just amazing how God speaks to us all? As a Junior Soldier, we make the promise that "we promise to pray, to read our Bible, and lead a life that is clean in thought, word and deed".

I was watching Bruce Almighty tonight on Channel 7 I think it was and cannot get over how much it displays alot about God to us. During the whole show, I was reminded that God receives well over 1,000,000+ prayers every day/hour/minute/second, and he manages to read them all one by one and give us the answer he deems good. For a few years now, I have not been praying nor reading my Bible every day, and something happened whilst watching that movie.

God spoke to me, for you see God created us all individually, each with their own talents, and he made each of us unique. He can name us all one by one and can count every little tiny hair on our head. At the end of Bruce Almighty, the camera zooms in on a homeless man, or so it seems, and this homeless guy formed into the image of the person who was playing God. This brought me to remember a very important passage of God's word...

Which (I have interpolated, as I cannot remember the exact location) says something along the lines of "If you feed the homeless, give money to the poor, pray for the sinner, you are doing that for me". Who would have thought Channel 7 would show a movie that displays so much about God.

I pray that whoever reads this blog, or whoever watches this movie, is saved and will know the love of the Lord Jesus. Amen.

God Bless,

Andrew

Daniel prayed: "Praise be to the name of God for ever and ever; wisdom and power are his. He changes times and seasons; he sets up kings and deposes them. He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to the discerning. He reveals deep and hidden things; he knows what lies in darkness, and light dwells with him. I thank and praise you, O God of my fathers: You have given me wisdom and power, you have made known to me what we asked of you, you have made known to us the dream of the king."

Daniel 2:20-23 (New International Version)

Living Proof: The Power of Prayer

The school I work at has a weekly Chapel Service (think of it as a mini youth church service). Below is what I had written down (I paraphrased some of it in person, but it's still a powerful message). God did, and still can do miracles, and there is POWER in prayer! God bless! Andrew

Whenever the Lord Needs Me

Photo by Griest Projects on Unspash.com. As I write this blog entry, I am at my desk, on my laptop, waiting for phone calls at work. Not a single call for an hour. This morning at 9:29am, my uncle called me from down in Bunbury. I picked up the phone, happy I was at work on time and happy I would get to see Poppa down in Bunbury this weekend. My uncle explained to me that Poppa had passed away about 5-10 minutes ago (it would have been 9:20am then). We spoke for a few minutes, then hung up as he went to notify more family. Immediately after the call, I started sniffling, and my colleagues asked if everything was okay. I then balled into tears and explained what news I had been informed. I am thankful to God for my Poppa. He was someone I held in high regard. It was clear he loved his Lord and would do anything for Him. Something Poppa used to say to us all before he went into a nursing home was these words (ad-lib) Whenever the Lord needs me, he shall take me. When I pass away, I will ...

More Than a Gold Medal

Who remembers that saying, “It’s not about if you win or lose, it’s about how you play the game”? Well, I have been watching the Olympics the last few weeks, and unless someone got gold, it was deemed to be a ‘failure’. I find it rude. All throughout school we are taught that it’s not about winning, it’s about having fun, but now we get taught unless you win you are a failure, what the? It is great that God accepts us as his children for who we are; no matter how much bad stuff we have done in the past, God forgives and forgets. Something that we as Humans find hard to do is forgive people for wrongdoings. People in my lifetime have done wrong to me, and I have forgiven them because I feel that if I do not forgive them, how could God forgive me? My family and I as your aware (if you have been reading my entries) had a problem at one church, which resulted in my family leav...
