God Is A Miracle Working God

John 12:37-38, “But though he had done so many miracles before them, yet they believed not on him: That the saying of Esaias the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spake, Lord, who hath believed our report? and to whom hath the arm of the Lord been revealed?”

I recently bought Cecil B. Demille's 1956 epic movie, 'THE TEN COMMANDMENTS' starring Charlton Heston and Yul Brynner. Most people, like me, love the scene where God parts the Red Sea. The DVD movie is narrated by Katherine Orrison if you choose to turn on the commentary feature. I watched the entire 2:40 hour movie through, and then once again with the commentary turned on. I was very saddened as I listened to Katherine Orrison's horrible lack of faith in a miracle working God. All she does throughout the commentary is attempt to provide plausible excuses to discredit the miracles of God. This movie is the 5th highest-grossing movie in North America, with an adjusted total of over $1 billion in 2010[1]

Katherine Orrison suggests that the waters in Egypt turned red due to a nearby volcanic eruption that spewed colored lava, thus changing the water's color. She then speculates that the contaminated waters drove the frogs and locusts from their natural habitat into the Egyptian's homes, and that the volcanic rocks were toxic and killed wildlife, making the rivers to stink. The fiery hail is also attributed to volcanic activity.

It is tragic that people refuse to accept the Bible as literal. The Bible tells us that the waters in Egypt were turned into literal blood, not just given a red color. The Bible says that God cursed the Egyptians with painful boils all over their bodies, which a volcano did not do. Orrison's lack of faith in a miracle working God is disgraceful in a movie that meant so much to Cecil B. Demille (1881-1959). Mr. Demille believed that God could do the IMPOSSIBLE, and He still does today. Life itself is impossible without God. Look around you and you'll see the impossible. This universe would fall apart in seconds if God stopped doing the impossible. Acts 17:25 says that God giveth to all life and breath.

There is nothing any more evil than deliberately making a movie to deny the Savior, teaching that Mary was raped by a Roman soldier, and blaspheming the Word of God. Paul Verhoeven is going to split Hell wide open the second he dies, and at age 74 (born 1938) he's not too far away from meeting His making. What a fool. These wicked Hollywood producers and directors aren't just making movies, they're indoctrinating society and turning people away from the Lord. Hundreds-of-millions of people are going to see JESUS OF NAZARETH when it comes out, and it will led many people further into despair and doubt. Romans 10:17 says faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the Word of God.

And likewise, foolishness like this leads people astray as Colossians 2:8 warns, “Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.” The word “spoil” in Colossians 2:8 is the Greek word sulagogeo which means “to lead away as booty, that is, (figuratively) seduce.” Booty is goods or money obtained illegally.

Hence, Satan wants to seduce us away from Jesus Christ through philosophy and vain deceit, through worldly established principles (such as humanism and evolution) and the traditions of men. Notice that the Bible directs us to Jesus Christ. Amen! We learn about Jesus in the Scriptures, which is exactly what Jesus said in John 5:39, “Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.”

I'm sick of hearing about the therapy of prayer. My friend, God answers prayer because He exists. Prayer is taught as a therapy because most people don't believe in a God Who answers prayer, in a God Who performs miracles. I know my God is real, and He can do anything. My God is so big, so strong and so mighty, there's nothing my God cannot do.
