 Hello everyone. Hi. Nice to have you with us. Welcome to our all-day movie workshop. I'm Peter. I'm going to be hosting today. And yeah, we have people here for the movie workshop and also for our online retreat this weekend, Heralds of Eternity. So we've got a bit of a larger group. And I can just let you know how the day flows for those who are new. So we'll have David showing the movie to start with. And then afterwards we have a 10-minute break. And then we're going to have breakout rooms where you can share any emotions or experiences with the movie. And then we'll have a longer 45-minute break. And then we'll have the Q&A session with me. So I see David there. I'll pass it over to you now. Thank you. Thank you, Pete. Hi everyone. Welcome. We're gonna have a beautiful deep dive. Our online weekend retreat theme this month is Heralds of Eternity. So this is a movie, tall order. We have to slip in a movie to help Jesus take us into eternity. We have to realize that the Heralds of Eternity are really the messengers of eternity. That's us. We have to recognize that the Heralds of Eternity are the mighty companions of eternity. That's us. I hope that's not too big for you today. But I called you saints in training sometimes or mystics in trainings. But now you are the mighty companions of eternity. You bring the light of eternity through your state of being. You are the light of the world. And that is reverent. And that is sacred. And you have a very important calling in your heart. And I think a lot of you are starting to realize as you answer this call, you're feeling joy and even more joy and even more joy coming in more joy than you could ever even imagine. It starts to come into your heart and light you up. So I think I said in my last Saturdays, I said, well, I've had fun with psychology and I've had fun with education and all the symbols. But well, in my heart, I'm like a Christian mystic. I'm a Herald of Eternity, a Christian mystic. So now I'm going to let my, I see your true colors shining through. Now, now you get to watch my true colors from now on. You know, the funny thing is a lot of you practice and study a course in miracles. And a lot of people who who find a course in miracles and start studying it and practicing it, they notice one thing that's pretty pronounced usually. And that's called resistance. They, they, they go, whoa, this is like deep stuff. This is like, this is not deluded. This is like Jesus Christ coming right at me, right into my heart, right between the eyes, it's kind of smacking you right between the eyes. And you go, whoa, I've got a little bit of resistance to this. I don't even know why, but I feel like I'm in some kind of a giant tractor beam, and I'm squirming a little. When I first came to the course, I mean, I was in a tsunami of love. So I didn't have a chance. The ego got kind of hit hard by the giant 25 foot wall of love that washed over it. And it didn't know what hit it. It just got washed onto the beach somewhere and didn't, and couldn't understand what even hit it. But, but I was when I first came across the course, I was also searching deeply. And I always say to people, you know, who have pretty strong resistance to the course is, well, if you were reading a book or doing anything in this world and you had resistance, wouldn't it be helpful to try to get a broader context of what was going on? I can psychology, you know, maybe you go see a psychotherapist or maybe you talk to a best friend and say, well, I got some major resistance going on. Maybe you can help me with this. For me, I think it was helpful to read about the Christian mystics and the Christian saints. I should I went beyond Christian. I went to the Buddhist mystics and Buddhist saints and the Hindu mystics and Hindu saints and and Islam and so on and so forth, because I was interested in a mystic being one who is devoted to God. I didn't really care what religion they belong to. I just wanted to maybe if I read about their lives, what they faced, then that would help me. You see what I'm saying? So I find it kind of strange that a lot of people practice the course and they don't have any. I talk about the Christian mystics and they go, who were they? And I said, well, it might help to read a little bit about them because they've been throughout the centuries. And they've been struggling with this question of surrendering to God for a long time. And they have some pretty important experiences to share about what worked for them and what didn't work. And I think if you just kind of are in a little bubble of, okay, modern society, and I'm studying this book that's teaching me the world's an illusion, and it's teaching me that I need to forgive. And it's teaching me I even have to let go of my previous ideas of forgiveness, because what I thought was forgiveness wasn't really forgiveness at all. That's pretty radical. So when we say a course of miracles is radical, we mean that it's, it's, it's a radical path to healing in your mind. It's a radical pathway to God. It's a radical pathway to eternity and to oneness and to infinity. And when you're accustomed, and we'll say even addicted to linear time, there's gonna be resistance. Now, the movie I'm going to show today, I'm going to start by showing this month now for Christian movies. So if you're really going to stay with me, I'm going to take these Christian movies, and I'm going to use what they present. And then we're going to drop down into the Christ mind. Together, we're going down the rabbit hole, all the way to the light, the Christ mind, and you'll, you'll find that these movies all involve forgiveness of relationships, letting go of thoughts and beliefs and coming to a deeper understanding of this universal Christ of this Christ idea that's just pure light. It's not Jesus the man Jesus was a representation of this light. But everything in time and space, everything in linear time, everything in matter is is a projection of the ego. But the Holy Spirit can use anything that the ego made. And wow, did the Holy Spirit use the body of Jesus? Jesus just gave it over. So here's the puppet. You have with it, you know, speak through me, shine through me, be joyful through me, make a joyful experience for the whole universe. And and that's what we have. That's why Jesus is like a wayshore because he's a symbol of a love that is not of this world of a love that's prior to time. Before Abraham was I am Jesus is the I am presence, the Christ presence prior to time. Now, for many of us, that that is something that if you open yourself to this light, that's going to be a lifelong journey. Because this is not something that you can dabble in, you know, oh, I do a little bit of this and that and yeah, I try to be the Christ light, you know, a few hours a week. Doesn't work. You can't be the Christ light for a few hours. It's because it's who we are. It's it's our life. It's our substance. It's our it's our everythingness. So as usual, with the movies, you vote on themes and these themes fit very well in our heralds of eternity online retreat. The top theme this week that you voted for was allow the spirit to perform miracles through me. Very good. Wow. That's, that's aiming high. If you allow spirit spirit to perform miracles through you, then you are by definition will say a miracle worker. And that's something that most of us were not raised with, you know, when we were growing up with our parents, even my parents, you know, they would talk about God occasionally or Jesus that we would go to church on Sundays. And we would I go to Bible school with my sister, Mary Jo, in the summer. But never ever once in what my childhood did my parents say, Oh, little David, you're going to grow up to be a miracle worker. That's just too far. They were more concerned that I get an education. Have a good career. Maybe get married, have children and grow old and die. You know, that's about as high as it went. But no, but I was not being encouraged to be a miracle worker. How about the times have changed now? The change times have changed. We are now in that position of opening ourselves to allow the spirit to perform miracles through me. Stack up theme trust and a greater plan. Isn't that fun to trust in a greater plan? Instead of trusting in your own past learning instead of trusting in your future goals. Some of you may already have what the world calls a bucket list. A bucket list is the things that you want to do before you die. Are you willing to give up your bucket list to the Holy Spirit and say, You, you're in charge. I'm not even going to think of things I want to do in the future. I'll give you my bucket list. I'll even give you my bucket list. Because I want what you are going to bring to me as an experience. Not a time space memory, but an actual experience of vastness of, of expansiveness. So I would rather trust in a greater plan, God, than I would have a bucket list. Here, here's my bucket list. Here's my future ambitions. Here's my goals in the world. Take them all and take me into an experience. That's what we're into. Number three, seeing beyond the false comforts of the ego. Ah, that's a good one, because the ego is quite clever. The ego would like to lure you with comforts and conveniences. And the main receptor of those comforts, conveniences and pleasures is the body. So the ego says the body is the end. And whatever you can do in this world to get more pleasure, more comforts, more convenience, that will be the means and your body is the end. And for Jesus, Jesus is telling us no miracles are the means and revelation direct contact with God is the end. You see how different that is from the trinkets of the world are the means and the body is the end to miracles in my mind inspired by prayer are the means and direct contact with my creator, direct experience with my creator is the end. And in the end, Alpha and the Omega come together. And in the end, the means in the end, like Abraham Mesla said, come together when we actualize our self, when we actualize our Christ self, the means and ends come together. And we realize, we've always been the Christ, and we never traveled anywhere. We just for we just believe we took a journey into darkness, we believed we were traveling in time and space, navigating time and space as a person, among other people. That's a trick. It's a pretty, it's a pretty sneaky trick to try to convince you you're a human being instead of the living Christ. But that's exactly what the ego is. It's the belief that there's something other than God and Christ. Number four, keep my focus on the eternal. I think the best way to keep my focus on the eternal is to be in the present moment, because the present moment is the closest approximation to eternity that this world offers. So when you're present, when you're just present, and you're sitting outside, and you're just gazing at a blade of grass, and you're just in that state of wonder, and you're not telling the blade of grass that it's a blade of grass, you're actually looking at it, and you're saying, tell me who I am. Try that with the blade of grass sometime. Go to this take and look at it and say, tell me who I am because everything in this world wants you to remember who you are. The blades of grass are cheering for you. The mountains are cheering. The trees are cheering the leaves. The stars are cheering. You can do it. You can do it. Wake up. Wake up. Everything is a giant. The angels are cheering. They're cheering us on. Come on, you can do it. Standing ovation. Go for it. Go for it. You'll lose nothing. And you'll remember everything. There's no loss involved. There's no risk involved in remembering who you are. God is the creator. There's no risk involved in remembering the creator. And the last one is having unwavering faith. I always like to hark back to what Jesus was saying about faith. He did a lot of teachings about faith 2000 years ago, but the one that always sticks in my mind is when when Jesus seems to be crucified and then the resurrected Jesus comes back and he comes to the upper room and he comes to visit the apostles. And Mary Magdalene is there and the apostles are there. And one of the apostles is Thomas. And Thomas over the centuries has a nickname doubting Thomas. It's not a not a good nickname to have doubting Thomas. But anyway, Jesus Thomas hardly believed that Jesus is back. He was sure that he was dead and gone. And when he's back, he's he's got holes in his wrist and in his legs. And and Jesus gently goes over to Thomas and he takes Thomas's hand and he takes his finger and he puts Thomas's finger in one of the holes. You see this is part of a gentle way of Jesus is saying, have faith in what I've been teaching you. There's something important here. And then Jesus said, you know, blessed are those who have seen and have believed far greater blessed are those who have not seen and who have believed. That's faith. Faith is going inside your heart and going deep inside your heart and saying, I don't care what the five senses are showing me. I'm going deeper. I'm going behind behind behind and beyond the five senses. I'm going I want to know the truth. And Jesus said, knock and the door shall be opened. And he said, you shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free. The thing about it is truth is abstract light. Truth is not in words. Truth is not in bodies. Truth is not in images, you will never find the truth in the images. They're like pointers. It's kind of like the Buddhist story, where the the master is is pointing to the moon, because the moon is so bright. And all the students are saying, look, the master points, look, the master's finger. And the master's like, it's, no, it's the light. Please don't idolize my finger or my hand, my arm. I'm just pointing to the light. And so what we've seen over the last, you know, 20 centuries is people analyzing Jesus, analyzing the behaviors of Jesus, analyzing the body of Jesus, analyzing the apostles and Mary Magdala and analyzing everything around Jesus. And all he was doing was pointing to God, to the light. That's that simple. Don't make an idol out of Jesus either. He was just one pointing to the light, just like Lao Tzu, just like Romana Maharshi and Parma Hashem like Yogananda, just like St. Francis, just like St. Teresa of Luzu, just like all the mystics and saints from every tradition in the world, all they are is little pointers to the light and who you are is the light. So that shows you that you have to only carry the symbols to a certain point and then you have to forgive the symbols. You have to release the symbols if you're going to accept the I am presence that you truly are. So I was having some fun today because you know, I enjoy, I've enjoyed psychology and I've enjoyed philosophy and I've enjoyed the essence of religion. And like Francis was saying, on Friday, she was saying yesterday that that religion in the highest sense is an experience. Psychology, the highest sense is an experience. Philosophy in the highest sense is an experience. Everything meets in the experience of who you are. So when you remember who you are, all those little steps are gone. It's not like in heaven, they say, okay, you're assigned to the psychology branch over there. No, it's just all light. There is no psychology in heaven. There's no light. There's no, there's no religion in heaven. There's no theology in heaven. There's, there's nothing but light, infinite love and light. That's, that's the nature of reality. Now, in this world, we have had people throughout the centuries that have questioned, what is the meaning of life? And a lot of times the ones who are the questioners we call philosophers. So this movie today will deal a lot with philosophy. Also, we have people in religion called theologians and theologians, they attempt to answer the question of how did we get here? How did this start? What is the meaning of life? Is there a creator or not? Is there a God or not? And, and this movie will deal a lot with philosophy. So today, I hope you are willing to hop on the carpet with me and we're going to have a bit of a ride into our own heart using philosophy. Now, has anybody ever heard of Frederick Nietzsche? Frederick Nietzsche. Okay, he's a pretty famous philosopher, a German philosopher. And he said many different things. But one of the things that he was most famous for is the statement, God is dead. I don't know if I'd really want to be famous for that. But he is very famous for the phrase God is dead. And basically, Nietzsche was not really a fan of Christianity. He wasn't a fan of Jesus. He wasn't a fan. He was basically trying to find the core meaning of what's it all about? And what, what is this world? And there's a lot of people that really resonated with Frederick Nietzsche that God is dead. He passed away in 1900. And that was right before all these great quantum physicists. I mean, Einstein also from, from that part of the world, Germany, basically Einstein and a lot of quantum physicists came about right after Nietzsche passed away. So we have the beginnings of quantum mechanics and science coming right there. We have the beginning of quantum physics, which is basically overthrowing and transcending Newtonian physics, Isaac Newton. And in terms of philosophy, I would say that if you look at the history of philosophy, there are many, many philosophers who don't believe in God. This, they are called atheists, because they don't believe in God. And basically, the philosophy is, is that the world is real. And God isn't. Okay, that this world is real and God isn't. So it's basically, it's not saying really that God died, it's just saying, God never existed. That's the, that's the philosophy. So it's more than God's not dead. You know, this movie I'm showing today is going to be sowing the seeds of of an experience that transcends this world entirely. So on one hand, a lot of philosophers say that God doesn't exist. And there were even a lot of Christian Christians who flipped over to become atheists, because of the what the five senses showed them, war, sickness, disease, hunger, destruction, disorder, conflict, after they got enough evidence through the five senses, even if they were Christians, they said, no, God doesn't exist. It's too much evidence, too much evidence against, against an all loving creator. And then you have more the predominant Christian belief in the sense that the Christian belief that's predominant on the planet has its basis in the first book of the Bible and the first book of the Bible is Genesis. And Genesis says God created the heavens and the earth. So the typical Christian belief, the widespread Christian belief is that, that God was not created, God just is, and that God decided to create matter. God described, decided, even though God's eternal, God decided to create time and space, God decided to, to have a cosmos. And so the predominant Christian belief is trying to tie this, this eternal creator to the things of time and space. And it's, it's a pretty difficult contradiction, because then the philosophers who say God doesn't even exist, they can we just ask one question, the philosophers say, if God is so all knowing and all loving and all powerful, how do you explain the evils of the world? And Christians have had trouble answering that question, the philosophers have the question, you know, if, if God is all loving and all knowing and all powerful, why, how do you explain evil? And the Christians will say, it's very simple, free will. God gave man free will, so that man could choose goodness or evil. But still, for some of you, I know you're saying, why would a God of pure love give something that could choose evil or good? That doesn't seem very kind and loving and benevolent at all. Why would a God of love give you the option of evil? You see what I'm saying? In fact, people have said, you know, well, you know, go back to the Bible and Genesis, and, you know, it's God, and God created paradise, and it was paradise on earth, and then he created Adam and Eve. And then he created a tree. And the tree was called the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. To me, this is getting very dualistic already, because if God is one, what business does God have to do with creating time and space here and there, past and future? Oh, now we've got male and female. Okay, throw that in. And now, above all, in the Garden of Paradise, there's a tree of the knowledge of good and evil. And God forbids Adam and Eve from taking a bite out of the fruit from that tree. Already, I'm questioning, I'm thinking, this story's got to have some major holes in it. I was raised Christian, but I don't know, my heart is questioning. And in the Course in Miracles, Jesus says, God would never have put you in such a position. There we go. Give it to me straight. Now, that's something my heart can really go with. God would never have put you in such a position. Well, that's starting to rinse some of the Adam and Eve story, you know, that's we're going after Wow, questioning all our beliefs. You're questioning the first book of the Bible. That's right. Happily. So what Jesus is telling us in the Course is, he's saying, the philosophers that don't believe that there is a God, the philosophers are saying God doesn't exist, are mistaken because God is real. And the Christians who are saying that God is eternal. And then God decided to create duality, male and female and sickness, pain, pleasure, joy, you know, that God created all these things time and space, and gave man free will. The Course in Miracles, if you go way back to the clarification of terms, Jesus says in the Course in Miracles, there is no free will in this world. Oh, touchdown, touchdown, eternity scores again. There is no free will. So even the Christians that are claiming they're trying to answer the problem of evil with saying, wait a minute here, God, God gave man free will. And, and then man Adam and Eve, they take a, they take a bite out of this apple from this tree of the knowledge of good and evil. And then right away, the projections start. Adam blames his partner Eve for taking a bite out of that. You see the projections already. Whose fault is it? Whose fault is it for the fall? And Jesus is trying to teaching us, we can't fall because God created us, we are created in spirit. We can fall, we can seem to dream and sleep that we're in a world of duality, but we are still the Christ. We always are the Christ, we always will be the Christ. Nothing can change eternal love. So once you start to go past this idea of free will being in this world, then you can start to let that go. Now, what do we have left? If, if there's just God in eternity, and the world doesn't exist, and free wills in eternity, you know, we were created with free will, which means we were created with perfect happiness in, in, in heaven. The only remaining thing that we have in this world in our mind that's sleeping is choice. Now, what we still have is a choice for the Holy Spirit. You see, so the choice for the Holy Spirit is extremely important. Because if we align our mind with that choice, with that presence, with that love, we feel peaceful. And when we align and we choose the ego, we feel fear. We feel guilt, shame, doubt. We don't feel good. We feel rotten. We feel bad when we choose the ego. Now, for most of us, we would say, wow, that's pretty tricky, though. You mean I should always choose the Holy Spirit in every circumstance and every seeming situation. Yes, Jesus says, God's voice speaks to me all through the day. Jesus says, it is impossible to listen to only one voice to the Holy Spirit without interrupting your regular activities in any way. Isn't that wonderful? It's possible to hear one voice without interrupting your regular activities in any way. That takes the pressure off the body. I don't have to act good now. I have to just learn how to make that choice in the mind. And that's what Jesus calls the right mind. Now, this is important because if we're here to be the light of the world, we have to make that choice. And we have to teach and demonstrate that it's possible to make that choice. You see how important it is for everything and everyone to demonstrate, I make the choice for God in my mind, because once I make it, I'm making it for everyone. Because the world is a hologram. It's just a projection. If I accept the right mind, if I accept the Atonement, then everything is healed. And it's not a matter of numbers. It's not a matter of the hundredth monkey. Who cares about monkeys and hundredth monkeys when when if I accept the decision myself, that's it. It's just all over. It's one decision. Now, also what Jesus is teaching us in the course is that God is real and spirit is real. And there is nothing else but spirit. So whenever we say, Oh, can I mix mind, body and spirit? No. Jesus says, if you are mind, he's talking about divine mind, you are wholly mind and purely mind. And when you are aware that you are a mind, the body is gone from your self concept. And when you believe you're a body, the mind is gone from your self concept. Then you're going to think you have a brain. And then you're going to think silly ideas like the brain thinks Jesus is laughing, the angels are laughing with that one, you know, Jesus says, to think those little neurotransmitters in your brain are your thoughts is like holding a matchstick up to the sun. Not even close. Neurotransmitters are not thoughts. So the scientists that are studying the brain, all right, you can study the gray matter, but it's it's really not thought. The brain doesn't think. And when we try to think with the ego, our mind is blank. We aren't really thinking either. The typical thoughts we think of past and future. Those aren't thoughts either. Those are mirages. Those are hypothetical, wisp of nothing. The present moment offers everything and those thoughts of the past and future offer absolutely nothing nada, nada, nada. There's no hope in finding God in thoughts of the past or the future. Now, Jesus also tells us in the course, the world was made as an attack upon God, a place where God could enter or not. I think that's important. You know, I don't hear a lot of course teachers quoting that phrase. But I actually think that's an important phrase because if if this is a world that was made up so God could not enter. And if my goal is to know God and know who I truly am, then it's just telling me you're not going to find yourself in this world. You're not going to find yourself in becoming a better person. You're not going to find yourself in more intelligence, more wealth and money, more possessions. You're not going to find yourself in better conditions for the body. There aren't any better or worse conditions for the body. You know, some people would say, David, I know some people that are in Ukraine now and they would definitely disagree with you. And I'm saying, no, it's this is for everyone. There are no better or worse conditions for the body. It's all our state of mind. And our state of mind is everything. When you have the peace of God in your heart, when you have the peace of God in your mind, you have the peace of God, because you are lined up with your Creator. And it's that simple. So the movie I'm going to show today is is the first in a series of four movies, because I'm going to show the next four weeks. God's not dead one. God's not dead two. God's not dead three. And just just for you, Frederick Nietzsche, I'm going to show number four to God's not dead. Number four, I'm going to it's a Nietzsche celebration of we're we're going to reverse the belief of Frederick Nietzsche and say, oops, no problem, you're still as God created you. You're still the Christ, too, Frederick. But but actually, God's not dead. And God has never died. And and God doesn't even know what death is. How's that? God is so glorious that God doesn't even know what death is. And if we're a creation of God, and we're miracle workers, guess what? If we're the light of the world, we're here to demonstrate the death is impossible. You know, and that's what all the mystics and saints were about. Now, in this movie, it's going to say there was there was there were Christians who became atheists. But I have to say, what about I want to see a movie about an atheist who became a Christian? Wouldn't that be fun? Yeah, C.S. Lewis, I'll show you the autobiography, I'll show you a movie of C.S. Lewis, because he was raised in Oxford, in England, and he was he was a very good, deep philosopher. And then he had a roommate who was a Christian. And the roommate who was just talking to C.S. Lewis one day said, what if everything that Jesus said in the Bible is true? And C.S. Lewis said, what? Imagine your roommate, you're a staunch, staunch, staunch atheist. And your roommate says, what if everything that Jesus said in the Bible is true? What if eternity is real? What if there's another world beyond this world? And finally, C.S. Lewis, he renounced being an atheist, because in the end, he believed there was a world that was not visible to our five senses. That is more real than human beings. How's that for a flip from atheists to Oh, there's a there's a world all right, but it's not visible to human eyes. It's a world of light. It's a world of love. So in this movie, we will follow a young Christian man. And this Christian man, his name is Josh, Josh Wheaton. That's our main character. And he's going to university. He's getting all signed up in the fall for his classes to take. And he's going to university. He's got a he's got a Christian girlfriend. He's got a Christian family. And he's going to enroll in a philosophy class, where basically the professor was a Christian, had a Christian mother and then his mother died when he was 12. And at 12 years old, he could not reconcile the pain and the suffering that he felt when his mother died with a loving God, he basically flipped, we'll say at age 12 into a very angry, angry at God, hating God, he grew up to become a philosophy professor, in which he's teaching that basically there is no God. And, and that's the story that's like what in psychology, they call that reaction formation. When you have such a traumatic event, that you can't handle it, you can't process it, you can build an entire identity on the reaction that he had to his mother dying, because he just couldn't believe he couldn't reconcile his mother dying at age when he was 12, with a loving God. So he decided to spend the rest of his life, blasting God for what God did to his mother. The only problem again is that that God doesn't know about this world. God, God knew that there was something blocking the extension of light. So the Holy Spirit was created. But God doesn't know about the projection, the ego invented this projected world. God, God was just like, wow, there's something blocking my extension. Here's the Holy Spirit to take care of that. And that's just a metaphor again. But but God doesn't really know of this projected world. This is a world of multiplicity and duality and God is not God is one God is pure eternity, pure light, love and joy. So light, love and joy cannot know of fragmentation. There is the Holy Spirit is is the bridge back to what God doesn't understand God doesn't understand duality. And to what the sleeping mind has forgotten, which is God. You see, the Holy Spirit remembers eternity. And that's the function of the Holy Spirit is to remind us that we are eternal creations of an eternal God. We have an eternal source. Now in the movie, Josh is going to go ahead, he's going to enroll in this philosophy class. And basically, you'll see from the movie that everyone in the philosophy class is required to sign a paper that says, God is dead. And to sign their name to that paper. This actually happened. All the movies I'm going to show you are actually not, you know, they're still part of the illusion world. But this act, it's from all kinds of court cases and things that actually happened. This is based on on an event and on a series of events that happened. And then and then we're going to use it for teaching purposes. That may seem kind of extreme to go to a philosophy class and have the professor require you to sign a paper that says you write God is dead and have to sign your name. But this student Josh, he can't do it. Now this relates to our first theme, which is allow the spirit to perform miracles through me. When when I say allow the spirit to perform miracles form through me, I'm not saying that you need to part the Red Sea. I'm not saying you need to go out and you need to walk on water. I'm not saying you need to go to the local food store and multiply the bread and multiply the food. I see Jimmy laws down there, Jimmy. Hey, Jimmy, you're taking I'm not saying you have to go out of your house there and wave your hands and clean up all the Florida. Just with the wave of your hands, you know, just like I'm a miracle worker. I'm just going to clean up the mess. Don't worry about sending any money for help here. I'll do it with my hands. But I am saying when I when we read that first one that says allow the spirit to perform miracles through me, it's allow me to see the world without judgment. That's what a miracle is. A miracle is seeing the world without judgment. You see how beautiful that is. We're not trying to project it to walking on water or cleaning up the Florida Everglades or cleaning up all the Florida we're talking about really looking upon the world without judgment. And in this case, in this movie, here we have a young man who basically believes in Jesus, but he's going to go into a philosophy class where he's told he has to write on a paper, God is dead and then he has to sign it and he can't do it. And that's going to launch him into am I going to live the Gospels and follow the Gospels or not? You see, it's a compromise question. That's all you have to do to be a miracle worker. All you have to do is say right now, I'm just not going to compromise. I'm not going to compromise the love in my heart. I'm not going to compromise the joy in my heart. The happiness, the laughter that I feel I'm not going to compromise. I'm not going to take anything of this world seriously anymore. I would rather be the life of the world than be compromising, people pleasing, trying to people please my way through time and space. That's why we always say no private thoughts and no people pleasing because it's like we're through with it. You know, I just said at one point I'm not going to people please anymore. Now that's a miracle worker. If you don't people please and you don't compromise, you're a miracle worker right away. You're starting now. You're a miracle worker. Now, Josh, Josh has a girlfriend and she's not happy about this because she's concerned about their future like this may influence future his future productivity, his future being a husband, his future success. And anybody who follows Jesus and the Holy Spirit always knows that the ego is going to try to play the future card. You know, if I follow Jesus, then some it's going to be a price to pay. There's no price to pay. If you're following love, how can there be a price to pay? You know, but the ego will try to paint it that you're going to lose something and and Josh's girlfriend is very much afraid that he's going to hurt their relationship or his career or his success by standing up for God and standing up for Jesus. His parents, we won't even see them in this movie, but his parents aren't happy either. His parents, they're Christians, but they're not happy. I find with a lot of Christians that if they really study the lives of the mystics and saints that most Christians would be shocked. Most Christians just want to, you know, play the dualistic world, you know, hold on to the dualistic symbols. And then hopefully, when the body dies, that's when Jesus comes to get them and says, I'm here for you. But but nobody reaches heaven through death. We have to live the gospels right now. That's what the gospels are about. What's your beatitude? What's your way of being right now? That's the whole thing. There's nothing to do with the future. Now, there's going to be a minister in here called Reverend Dave. And Reverend Dave is going to try as best he can to offer love and support for Josh. But Reverend Dave has his own struggles because he's undoing the belief in time. He he wants to go for a vacation down to Disney World. And he keeps trying to go to Disney World. And his car would never start. But the good news is he has a Nigerian minister with him. And this Nigerian minister is just all he can do is say, God is good all the time. And all the time, God is good. That's the kind of minister I want. By my side, no matter what's going on, reminding me of one thing, God is good all the time and all the time God is good. This guy's name is Jude. And hey, Jude. All right, let's say hey for Jude here. Jude is ringing the bell of eternity. You know, he's not going to buy any of this time space stuff. And then we have relationships. Don't you love a movie with relationships? There's, there's a whole cast of them here. We have Martin, who's a Chinese man, who's come. And he's in the philosophy class. And the more he listens to Josh speak about God, the more he starts to feel like, wow, sounds like God is actually real. There's, there's Aisha, who's an Arabic woman who whose father has her wearing the veil to cover her face. And her father is is not so happy that she would even consider opening to Jesus. That's not part of their culture. It's not part of their religion in his eyes and his perception. And we have Amy, who's a reporter. And she's a reporter who is out for justice and righteousness and save the animals and, you know, stand up for things that are important in the world stand up beyond the right side of issues. But but she gets diagnosed with cancer and she starts to really question who's there for me. My boyfriend's not there for me. My family's not there for me. I'm facing a diagnosis of cancer. And what's it all about? You know, she's she's going to go down the rabbit hole too, because she just doesn't believe that there's something more. And then we have a we have Michael Tate and the newsboys. We're going to get some great music in there. These are basically a Christian band and they are featured in this movie to just the Holy Spirit using the music and the care and the love and the comfort to bring healing as a reflection to the mind that's crying out for help. Just crying out for help. So I hope you enjoy it. This is my the first of four Christian movies. And we're going to dive deep together and go deep into the light. So thank you. I'll pop in. I'll see you very quickly, very shortly.
