The justice league

So I went to see the latest DC film last night I have to say I still prefer marvel but it was a ok movie as superhero movies go. I can't help thinking that there are a few movies I have missed out on which might have helped my understanding but the general superhero themes were there. Now perhaps I have written something along the same lines before but I believe it still needs saying so here goes. 

Straight after the film I had zero information but as I was brushing my teeth ( the bathroom often figures for light bulb or revelation moments). 

I had a sense that God was speaking to me through the verse we have the mind of Christ. I remember saying to my significant other who will make a guest appearance at some point that I wish I had as much strength as Wonder Woman to which he answered you do honey. Now I know I'm not going to be going in for any weight lifting competitions nor do I have the agility or physical strength she has. However it got me thinking strength goes beyond physical strength which is good for me lol. 

Then I started to think about the potential we have as humans and the thought that we are only using a fraction of what God has given us. If we think for a moment what man has accomplished. I believe that is because whether those people are believers or not they are made in God's image and it goes without saying the wonders God has created well you and me for starters and well basically anything you can see. 

Furthermore for those of us who know Christ and who have a personal relationship with him the word says that not only were we made in God's image which means we have some of God's characteristics the possibilities are endless. Let that blow your mind for a second. Not only that but as believers we have the mind of Christ. That triples the possibility for creativity and sheer genius right there. Do you get this because Christ is not only some random dude but he is God so that means you have God's mind well at least you do if you will only tap into it. I don't know about you but this totally explodes my brain. 

The little Prince

I had the pleasure of watching the little prince a few months ago with one of my friends and her niece. She was so excited about watching it and so was my friend. As the film unfolds and goes through a storyline which makes absolutely no sense to an adult where a child enters the world of imagination and laps it up. Why couldn't a rose grow on a planet which is tiny and where the little boy is the prince of the planet in out of space. Children don't believe that there are any limits or impossibilities. They dream of being an astronaut or rock star. Then there is the whole concept of Santa Claus. Children believe what ever you tell them. Sometimes you have to work hard to get them to not believe. That is why jesus tells us to have faith like children. Children say things like lets go to the moon for a picnic. 

It's made me realise that imagination is so important in our lives and we can learn so much from children. The way they trust and believe is so refreshing inspiring and challenging. 

Imagination is like an entry into the spiritual world. For Christians when we allow God to inhabit our imaginations the divide between heaven and earth becomes a little thinner. Our imagination are a window into the heavenly realm and the spiritual. 

 What if we didn't limit what God could do and we actually believed that we really do heavenly resources at our disposal. He is a little prince and he believes that because of that he has an inheritance which is this planet. We too have an inheritance too which is this planet. If your a believer then you are a child of God and that means your a prince or a princess if the kingdom of God. I think being a child makes it easier to believe this truth to actually visualise it but also live as it is true.
