I'm watching this film called 'the encounter' and I'm wondering why I've never seen it before. I don't know how old the film is but I watched it last night and plan to watch the part 2 today. The film is revealing much. At first I was skeptical because I wondered why Jesus was in the flesh when he was to be sitted in all his glory and honor at the right hand of God but I kinda understood it latter on. At that time I was having monthly cramps and all I wanted was for help. Listening to all those people list their problems and their complaints against God. I began to understand the reality of heaven. It was so real to me. People were complaining about how God took a man of God or how God took their children who were ready to serve him with their hearts. They fail to recognize that heaven is real. That wherever their loved ones are is far better than this falling earth. It doesn't make the pain go away or make everything easier. Trust me I know. I lost my best friend. But in their deaths we find our strength in God's arms and in time find his peace and plan for us. Watching this made me understand that God's plans and mine are not the same. I cannot boast to understand him because while he sees the future, I can only see the present and make my plans based on what I can see now. He, he has the ultimate plan, the plan that he reveals to us bits by bits , so that we would not be overwhelmed. Another thing I wondered after watching this film is if I can have a relationship with God so much so that Jesus would come down personally just to fufill a promise he made to me. That is the type of relationship I want to have with the holy spirit. Oh God help me. Men complain about how God sees bad thing happening and does not interfere we fail to remember that it is us with the dominion of the earth so therefore God cannot intervene when man does not ask him to. Quite often we blame God for all our problems and pain when all he ask us to do is ask him to take over. But man without the nature of God is still very selfish. Wanting God to only take control of our problems but leave our lives alone. We may not realize but God wants us to ask him more than we want to receive from him. This film has been an eye-opener for me. Thank you Jesus.
