When the goal of this team changed and put God in the first place, the loving heavenly Father also put them in the first place, and this seemingly humble little team began to win the game. After two games, everyone was shocked, because people almost ignored them. Relying on the power of God, they finally made it to the finals. However, what they have to face is the Giants with more than 80 people, and their Eagles have only 32 people, not to mention the Giants are the winning generals, and the Eagles are only the first time in the finals. This is undoubtedly touching an egg with a stone, just as the Israelites faced the giant Goliath. But they were not discouraged or timid. Before the game, each of them knelt before God and prayed, and each of them set themselves up for God to use.
The game began. The powerful Giants were indeed not in vain. They were ahead of the Eagles by a big score at the beginning. During the timeout, the Eagles coach changed his tactics in time and prayed to God, relying on their efforts and God’s help. The score began to approach the Giants. Soon there are only a few seconds left, but the Giants are still leading. At a critical moment, the Eagles get a free kick. As long as the free kick is scored, the Eagles have the hope of winning. The coach decided to let a kid named David play. David said the distance was too far. He had never played this far. The coach said that nothing is impossible with God, you just have to work hard, and then give the rest to God and believe in God's power. It was amazing that the wind died at that time, as if it was specially prepared for David's free kick.
David silently prayed in his heart, while watching his father from the sidelines, he tried his best to get up from the wheelchair, in order to give his son an example and increase his confidence. David did not live up to the expectations of the team and his father. He succeeded. He rewrote the score and history. The Eagles won the state championship for the first time, and the audience cheered. In the lounge, the coach led the players to give glory to God. He asked everyone to say: There is nothing difficult before God. Yes, there is nothing difficult before God! At the same time, there was good news from Coach Taylor's wife that she was pregnant, and I really thank God for his grace!
This film is really touching, with scenes or lines that touch you constantly. Let you move, shock, warm, and reflect. . . . . .
After returning from the church in the evening, I searched the background of this movie on the Internet. It turns out that this is a movie without a strong lineup of movie stars, no strong production team, no publicity, and no wonderful plot. It is just a group of Baptists in the United States, because of a perseverance, confidence, to be completely God. The mission of making a movie. And under this group of "absolute" non-professionals praying to God every day, this movie loyal to the teachings of the Bible was finally born. It was screened in more than 400 theaters across the United States, and within 10 days of its premiere, it hit a box office of 2.7 million U.S. dollars and squeezed into the thirteenth place in the first week of box office revenue. This classic work is not due to the huge investment and professional team, but only relying on the inspiration of the Bible and donations from believers! The special thing about "Face the Giants" is that it was produced by the world's least independent filmmaker in this field.
Even Hollywood filmmakers are very curious about "Face the Giant". "Whether it’s the production team, shooting equipment, or protagonist actors, it can be said that they have no professional knowledge and experience, but they can shoot such excellent works. It is really amazing. Endless!" And the male and female protagonists in the story are respectively the balding priest and the inexperienced housewife. In addition, in the absence of budget and equipment, they have to self-control or ask for help from volunteers. Both children, housewives, and the elderly are all devoted to helping the whole team with their efforts and efforts in front of the stage and behind the scenes! However, this is a movie that we should watch and be delighted with. Just because in this film, it tells us that as long as we strengthen our faith and go all out for it, miracles will happen!
There are many scenes that touched me in the film:
an old pastor took a bible and said to the coach: God asked me to tell you that no one can close a door that God opens, and no one can open a door that God closes. This is a revelation. The words in the recording.
The story told by the pastor: Both farmers are praying to God for rain, and only one farmer goes out to make preparations, prepare the fields, and receive the rain. Which farmer do you think really believes that God will send rain down? The
coach said to the children, we have to fight for the glory of God and establish our purpose with this.
In each competition, they will be led by a child to pray, especially these children will say: praise when you win, praise when you fail.
Among the children was David. His father was paralyzed. He had been praying for his son and had been teaching his son to trust God. Every time I support David and encourage his son, even if his son is just a backup... The
most shocking and touching thing for those who have seen it is that the coach asks Bullock to cover his eyes with a headscarf to do "death exercises" That paragraph: When Bullock finished the last step and fell to the ground exhausted, he asked: "It must be 50 yards?" The coach took off his headscarf: "You have reached the bottom line (that is, more than 100 yards). Yards, climb the entire field)".
Everyone is afraid to accept the challenge, but in fact, before the challenge has started, who will believe that he can do it? A person’s positioning of himself is only 30 yards. Perhaps when others’ expectations are 50 yards, this is already a great challenge. However, when we are willing to go all out and never stop without exhaustion, we It was able to achieve 100 yards. Is this just a breakthrough in our physical fitness? of course not! God actually gave us 100 yards of power early in the morning, and what he expects is that our faith will eventually match the power he gave us. But every time we accept a challenge, it's like Brock is blindfolded, don't know where the end is, how much we have to go, we only feel the burden on our body, the pain from our hands, the endless fatigue , I want to stop countless times. But the ear kept coming: "Come on, come on, don't give up, you promised." Because we promised to do our best, we still persisted. I still remember that the coach said to Bullock at the end: "You are now the most influential person in the game, don't waste the gift of God to you, can I rely on you?!" Bullock said: "Yes!"... In many cases, it is not that we are not good enough, nor that we have not tried our best. We are all working hard, but as long as we persist, we can overcome all burdens and become trustworthy people, and at the same time gain our own confidence.
This movie inspired me a lot. Not only the Eagles have to face the Giants, but we also have a lot of giants in our lives. Work pressure, performance pressure, academic pressure, performance pressure, life pressure, life The burdens of the people, or many unsatisfactory things will become our giants, and when we face the giants, how should we deal with them?
Am I trying my best in my life today? My confidence is 30 yards? 50 yards? Or 100 yards?
Many times, we are just complaining about the lack of opportunities, instead of preparing for them. Just like the farmer who doesn't prepare, we just believe in opportunities in our mouths, but in fact, we still don't believe in them in our hearts.
If your heart changes, your attitude will change; your attitude will change, your habits will change; your habit will change, your character will change; your personality will change, your life will change. Be grateful in good times, be joyful in adversity, and live in the present seriously.
