I recently went to view the new movie, "90 Minutes in Heaven." In general it was an uplifting movie. I feel the title itself would provoke one to see the movie if one is in search of knowing a bit more about what it is like in heaven. Do you not agree? I was at a church where the author of the book shared his testimony a few years ago. It is an uplifting testimony that brings great glory to God and shows the true power of prayer.
I was so encouraged when the person that was detained due to the accident felt the prompting of Holy Spirit to go and pray for the man that was in the accident even though he was told he was dead. He had great faith and prayed anyway. God bless the person in authority that allowed him to pray for him. That man followed proper order. He felt the unction of Holy Spirit to pray, then he sought out the permission of those in authority to move forward in prayer. When Holy Spirit prompts you He always makes a way for it to be fulfilled. You have to learn to step out in faith when you hear Him beckoning you and gently prompting you to step out in faith. He is forever faithful. I can honestly say that when He beckons He always provides the words to speak, the tools to utilize and the faith that rises up within you to step out into action. Where God guides He provides. Amen.
Now, back to the movie...I believe they dwelt too much on the pain of the main character and something was missing in the telling of this story. The title leads one to believe that the story would encourage one about the glory and splendor of heaven right? Well, let me tell you that there is very little mention of the actual experience and what took place when he did go to heaven, Why??? I understand that the man was brought back to earth and had to leave the splendor of heaven to share his story to encourage others. Why was there so little mention of what actually took place in heaven? If I were the writer of this movie I would have definitely given this subject matter a little more screen play than what was actually shown. They show you a little bit of it at the end of the movie. I am guessing it was done that way to keep people in their seats to have them not leave the theatre early without finding out what happens. Could it be that the hook is the title to keep one wondering throughout the movie, "When are they going to talk about what actually happened in heaven?" Another thought about this subject...maybe the author of the book wanted the story to be told like it was told on screen or the flip side is that he wanted more mention of the heaven experience and the director or screen play writer wanted to go in another direction. I do not know the answer to that question. All I know is that I was expecting more sharing in the movie of that experience. I am not judging this movie in the direction it chose to take for if it was the leading of Holy Spirit then He knows what the people need to see and hear when they go to see this movie right. I was blessed with seeing this movie and I will just leave it at that.
