Green Lantern Movie


I watched the movie GREEN LANTERN http://greenlanternmovie.warnerbros.com with amazing people from the Edification and Equipping Team last week. I really liked the movie also some ideas pop up in my mind as I was watching the movie.



First - "to fight this enemy the ring chose a human" (Sinestro).
John 15:16 says "You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you so that you might go and bear fruit—fruit that will last—and so that whatever you ask in my name the Father will give you".

Second - As Hal Jordan was chose to be the new Green Lantern and received the ring he doesn't know how to use the powerful weapon that was available to him.
Ephesian 6:14-17 says "Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God".

Third - "remember your enemy is not gonna play fair" (Kilowog)
Ephesian 6:12 says "For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms".

God chose me to fight to His kingdom and to bear fruit that means build up people through His grace. Plus, He has given me a full armor to fight that I don't know how to properly use. Also, one of my favorites weapon from the full armor is the "the shield of faith" because faith is based on dependence and if I depend on God who is the almighty one my shield is almighty too.
My enemy will not played fair because my enemies come from the spiritual forces of evil.
In conclusion, I have fear because of my flesh like as, Hal Jordan but I will fight till the end because "for it is God who works in you to will and to act in order to fulfill his good purpose" (Philippians 2:13 - NIV).
