Narnia – Faith

Posted in Uncategorized by agapelovee on May 30, 2008

if i had another word for Narnia: Prince Caspian, it would be faith.

one word for the movie: AWESOME. :D

What really really really amazed me was the hidden meaning behind the whole movie. seriously, i didn’t really expect to get anything that spiritual out of this movie, since i didn’t think there was anything much about it. just that alot of fighting. well, i though the 1st movie was great & i really wanted to go see the 2nd one but i really didn’t expect myself to come out of it feeling so refreshed & just.. amazed.

hmm but before i go into that part, i would like to say that the cast was really awesome :D charis just fell for the mouse (MOUSE, NOT RAT), diane fell for Aslan & the prettty handsome prince, i thought that peter was getting all the more hotter while edmund was becoming pretty good (okay i also just really enjoyed his character this time round), susan was just really prettty & prince caspian was really good too! ((((: & Lucy, amazed me beyond words. as for teng uhhh i don’t know how she felt for anyone cus i wasn’t sitting beside her hahhaa.  okay for me i really thought that everyone was good, in their own special way haha (:

okok! sooo. i wouldn’t really go into the plot of the movie but basically, alot of the old narnians kinda lost a wee bit of faith in Aslan (the lion, which is just a representation of God) & so did Peter. however lucy was still the one who really believed that Aslan was there & that the one who really could win the battle was not them, but Aslan.

(all qoutes are somewhere along that line)

Lucy: remember that he was the one who really killed the white witch?
Peter: well, we can’t depend on him anymore, he’s not here is he? we’ve gotta do it ourselves

& what happened? the lost that battle they went into. yes it just reminds me of the israelites who sometimes just think that they could do it themselves & they could just do without God. & they lost it. & it just reminds me of ourselves. living in this modern day & time. how sometimes we are so stubborn to admit that we do need His help. till we fall so hard, then do we surrender everything to Him.

*Lucy claimed that she saw Aslan while the rest didn’t see him

Peter: well, why didn’t i see him?
Lucy: maybe, you just weren’t looking

how true. sometimes we look so much at ourselves we fail to look at Him instead. we cry & think & say out loud “God, where are you? why are you not here?” & you know what dear friends? maybe, we need to seek Him out. & then, we’ll find out that He’s been there all along. just right there. we need to put down our pride, our jugdements for His glory & wisdom. only then, can we really experience God.

*when Lucy found Aslan

Aslan: why didn’t you just come & find me? even when the rest didn’t believe so?
Lucy: well… i guess i was a bit afraid.

this, really impacted me so much. Lucy was the youngest of them all. & yet she was the strongest of them all. she kept the faith, she continued believing, although fear & fear of rejection did pull her back from really finding Aslan from the very beginning. & God really moved me there & then. on how it really dosent matter whether people back us up or whether we’re so young, because we can do great works for Him if we just believe, have faith & have hope. it really sparked that spark in me all over again. hmm yeaaa.

Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young,  but set an example in for the believers in speech, in life, in love in path & in purity. 1 Timothy 4:12

currently i can’t remember anymore interesting quotes haha. (:

but yes Lucy really really amazed me. her faith level just made my faith level rise. As for Edmund, i really admire his character now because its so different, & he’s really so ready to change & listen to lucy. & he really was a stronger guy compared to peter at first. peter is someone i too really admire because although in the beginning he really did doubt, & because perhaps he though he was once the high king, whatever he does will be right & will succeed. & he forgot to put Aslan into the picture. which is why the first battle failed terribly. but after he realized what he did was wrong, he really did make an effort to change & yes he was awesome (: & i admire him for coming down to a whole new level & just surrending, & having more faith.

oh yea & how prince caspian was really driven to desperation & full of the sense of failure at one part. the weirdo dwarf brought in medians & yea he almost welcomed the white witch back. it just reminds us on how important it is to be full of Christ, so that the devil will have no way to enter you, or even tempt you. it shows how people without that have fallen away & have come under the hands of the devil. & i for one, really hope that that will never happen to me & in fact i will not let the devil taunt me because i belong to the Lord always. & that my dear friends, is what i dearly hope that you will believe too (:

later on in the 2nd battle, they did win, because Aslan won it for them. which also once again goes to show, the battle is the Lord’s, the victory is ours! the narnians didn’t exactly have to fight till the end with the baddies, because Aslan won it for them. yea, i was pretty happy during that part. (:

thank you so much Lord. the movie was such a great timing. if i watched this any earlier than now i probably wouldn’t get half the messages in it. but God’s timing is so right. i’m so glad i went to watch it. its amazing how He speaks through all sorts of things, including this! faith, is something i’ve been thinking so much about lately & He just showed me so much in just 2hours plus, almost 3hours. & i really can’t help but to type it all out here haha. now it really means alot more than the 1st & so an awesome job done by the directors & cast! brilliant show. i’m really grateful for it!

Lord direct my life, be in charge. i want to surrender everything to you, & have total faith. i want more than a spark, but a flame. i know that i can do great things through You (: Lord you’re just showing me more & more each day, its really amazing! & so what can i do, but to just fall on my knees, sing praises to you, PRAY, & continue to be part of Your great work.

okay i’m still in my wowwwww God you are great! & wow the movie was gooood! mood. hahahaaa :D i shall go read through all the books & watch the 1st movie again!!!
