The “Passion” Movie
had prepared to give Him these same kingdoms of the world, only it
would be through the Cross of obedience and not the easy way of
bowing to Satan. We must follow in Christ’s footsteps the same way.
He is our ONLY hope, and only those with Jesus’ character and selfsacrificing
attitude will bring the kingdom of heaven to this earth.
“Thy kingdom come, and Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven!”

The Cross
March 12, 2004 - I was very inspired and touched by the recent film
“The Passion of the Christ.” I have been praying for and anticipating
this movie for over a year, and I was not disappointed. Although it is a
true work of art, you are not thinking about the good cinema quality as

our many denominations and institutions hinder the operation of true
apostolic anointing in the region-wide Body of believers. Nevertheless,
this seems to be changing with prayer, and this movie could help the
cause of uniting the city-wide local body of believers under true
apostolic authority.
An example of this type of unity happened here in my town of
Huntsville on the day that the movie opened. A group of thirteen local
pastors were in the middle of a four day, three night prayer summit
retreat in order to pray for the city and get to know each other better.
They all went to see this movie together and as a group were very
moved by what they saw. I was told that they all left the movie theater
without saying a word to each other during the entire ride back to the
