James Bond - Sky fall (a personal review/ take)

Hey guys,

 

Sorry haven't been writing for a while. I was on a roller coster ride of my life.

Well here is my personal review of James Bond's 2012 move - skyfall! This review reflects my life and also, maybe your life in general too. There are seasons of our life where we might have encountered situations or scenarios like this.

 

I watched skyfall today, it was about James Bond. To my surprise, there no new fancy gadgets nor modern stuff this round. The car chase was old school and not only that, the actors seems old and unable...Of course we expect to see the unable man rise up to his feet and become the hero that he is. We know the end of the story...but he doesn't. We see his fight and struggles and feel his joy and pain.

 

Here they show the distruction of the old, as a new season picks up. I saw the distruction of his classic car, his old mansion that his parents left him, and his old wealth, his old caretaker, and his old handler die. It was heartbreaking to see his car being destroyed by the enemy. His house was destroyed but the enemy. His fathers only rifle was no longer useful to him anymore. His had to take care of his old care taker. And the thing he asked for is: ressuraction.

 

Such deep meaning to the show.

 

The end of the old cycle, the old chase, the grief and sorrows and in the end, after all the crying, the new season comes in. More exciting, more action and more drama, but we live for it! The old bad guys have died and passed away, in the hopeless situations, where death seems inevertable, just like this, the angel is there to save you! God's hand is upon you. If its not your time, it's just not your time!

The confidence and on sowing and reaping

And the Nehemiah 2:19-20 came to me again.

 

"19 But when Sanballat the Horonite, Tobiah the Ammonite official and Geshem the Arab heard about it, they mocked and ridiculed us. “What is this you are doing?” they asked. “Are you rebelling against the king?” 20 I answered them by saying, “The God of heaven will give us success. We his servants will start rebuilding, but as for you, you have no share in Jerusalem or any claim or historic right to it.”" then Nehemiah 3 says : Rebuilding the wall of Jerusalem.

 

When I am doing something out, extraordinary that the world has places in order, the world and it's leaders will think I am rebeling. The followers of the world leaders will come and so called "caution me" and put fear into my heart of the consequence of going againts the worlds orders and men made laws. But the words of conviction through faith "the God of heaven will give us success!" is so assuring as well as so bold. And surely the Lord will give them success because his hand is upon them. And the mockers and doubters will have no such inheritance of it after success is ripped of what they have sown.

 

But before this, make sure what you sow is good. There is absolutely no way evil can grow out of the soil. It must be the one who sowed it there previously. What are you sowing into your life now? Did you know: what you reap, is also what you will sow?

Don't be supplies if failure and disaster followed you! It was you who sowed it there for the beginning! Repent! Sow the right seeds! Get the right seed! Sow the seed of faith! So small is a mustard seed that it becomes the biggest tree! So that is the same with faith.

 

My dear friends...may you start to Believe and prosper! Believe more and proser more! Change your mindset and thinking! Empty it and fill it with the new wisdom that comes from the God who made the heavens and the earth. Who layed the earths foundations, so will he establish you!

Psalms 127:1-2

Friends and readers,

 

Here is one of the greatest truths of all time, and it is written by King David himself when he was crying in the wilderness. In his bitter tears and mournful cries, this revelation of realization dawned upon him.

 

Psalms 127:1-2

If the LORD does not build the house,

the work of the builders is useless;

if the LORD does not protect the city,

it does no good for the sentries to stand guard.

2 It is useless to work so hard for a living,

getting up early and going to bed late.

For the LORD provides for those he loves,

while they are asleep.

 

How true, without the Lord, nothing can be done

Can the tree grow its vines without the branch?

 

Have we tried lately to finish up something but it can never be done?

Planning to write that song, but it can never be sung?

Planning and trying to run for that race but can never seem to enter its tracks?

Is it because you have not asked?

Or is it your own will and strength that comes from the flesh desires instead of the will of God?

Who knows the will of God?

Well, you sure won't if you don't have a relationship with him...

You will be as clueless and banging to open a door which is locked

Pressing the doorbell of an empty house, hoping for an answer

To suit your better own desires and fill those void empty feelings in your heart.

 

Enough with the self hatred and self pity

The Lord says to come out from that "pity party" that you are throwing

Step out in faith from those influences that are negative and brining you down.

It's time you seek him, for the word of promise says in Jeremiah 29:11 that

"God has a perfect plan for you"

Don't you want to know it? I encourage you...when you are at your lowest

And when you think you are serious enough....get to seeking him

Je wants you to find him!

 

Not in the noisy streets,

Nor the quiet mountain place,

Nor in streams of rushing water,

But at the bottom of your hearts cry

That is genuine,

Not from hatred and self loath,

Not from your pity party,

Certainly not from self desperation,

But from a true heart seeking the truth and light.

 

And He will throw you a party!

He will bring that party to you!

You will begin to meet all sorts of powerful people

That came from the same darkness you did but

Managed to persevere in faith and walked through it

Till they reached the light of salvation

They have exciting stories!

You will have one too!

Be excited, persevere and carry on your walk in faith

Seek him, and you shall find Him!

 

Matt 7:7 ""Ask, and you will receive; seek, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened to you. 8 For everyone who asks will receive, and anyone who seeks will find, and the door will be opened to him who knocks."

 

Let us hold on to the word, the promise of God and TRY. That's the first step and it's good enough.

I tell you this, if you were to open the doors of your heart and stop talking and start listening with YOUR HEART, God is just waiting to rush in!

 

Be encouraged!

 

How to reach God and encouragement

Dear friends and readers,
I would like to share with you part of my journey again.

Today as I went to my room to pray because i felt so hungry for God and i really needed him at this point of my life and got the word as a i opened up my bible (asking the Holy Spirit to lead me to the page that God had desired me to read) on psalms 32 on confession and forgiveness. I am reminded of a sin when I was praying and it was :
I have put humans (men) as my saviour instead of Jesus. And that was my sin.
And at the church camp I also got this message and repented but today I was reminded of it again and I was "happy to confess and ask for forgiveness." This is the key:

Your sins block your way to the father. Happy are those who confess and are forgiven.

Only then God will be "out hiding place and will save me of all my troubles" and I will sing praises to him!
In psalms 32:8 "The LORD says, "I will teach you the way you should go; I will instruct you and advise you."

That means the Holy Spirit will lead me and I have access to God's instructions, meaning his will! So if I follow the perfect plan of my father, I will gain the promises of Jeremiah 29:11

"I alone know the plans I have for you, plans to bring you prosperity and not disaster, plans to bring about the future you hope for. 12 Then you will call to me. You will come and pray to me, and I will answer you. 13 You will seek me, and you will find me because you will seek me with all your heart."

So I am greatly encouraged by this. Hope this encouragement has spread to you as well friends.
