I only saw part of the movie (DVD), but what I saw,I really liked; since I - every now & then - get mad at God myself, I felt some moviescenes were pretty close to (my) reality : ( ; )
First of all I like to say, that the servant, the
disciple, the pupil is not greater than his master.
One thing TF was super lacking in & it was pointed out before: a lack of respect/fear of God
It's enough for the disciple if he becomes as great as his master, in the meantime he has to learn & not boss his master around...sure, on the road of learning, I think it can become pretty tough at times, but if you have that trust in HIM,
you feel/know, that somehow he's gonna pull you through...not really knowing always why you had to be in such & such situation...I found though, that
it always seems to make sense later in looking back...
14 And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us: {in: or, concerning}
15 And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him. 1.John 5
KJV Mark 11:24 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray,
b e l i e v e that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.
How much do we ask things according to HIS will,
how much do we really believe in the things we want/desire of Him ???
9 And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.
20 Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,...Eph 3
That's the point IMO, He can do much more above that which we are able to figure out ourselves, what is supposedly good for us.How do we know???
I found out, that in all my trials & tests I had
unparalleled peace & love, when I yielded & didn't want to have "my way".
