So my first blog will be about what the Lord revealed to me recently through the new movie Alice in Wonderland.
- the theme throughout the movie was finding your identity and the authority you recieve when you learn who you are.
- in the beginning alice talks about her reoccuring dream to wonderland. i believe this is talking about your destiny. Alot of times the Lord reveals things by reoccuring signs, whether it be dreams, thoughts, or even seeing repetition of symbols.
- Towards the beginning of the movie alice also talks about being proper with her aunt. the word "proper" to me represented a religious mindset. The only reason it mattered was for the pleasing of other people.
- When alice falls into the rabbits whole she is entering a whole new world. she leaves everything behind, any mindsets, fears, possesions, etc. she goes in a childlike amazement into this place of wonder and doesnt look back
- The queen of hearts and her army. this can represent many things. the first time i watched it i just saw it as the dark side. but the second time i watched it the Lord revealed something new about it. so society today teaches us that love is a synonym for lust. The Lord has shown me otherwise: real love actually has nothing to do with feelings. its about sacrifice, honesty, and trust. But because Jesus is true love our definition of love has been attacked. red and hearts is a common symbol for love as well as hearts. all the people surrounding the queen are imposters (fake nose, belly, ears, etc.). this is also clearly seen by the way the king hit on alice in order to trick her. This is so deceiving and the world has made it so common that people don't even realize that they are not one in the same.
- one of the most prophetic parts of the movie is when alice goes into the house where the beast is kept. It had harmed her before so she entered in her house with fear. It wasnt until she conquered her fear that she saw the authority she had. as soon as her fear was gone the keys around the animals neck were handed to her (keys of the kingdom).
- The Lord created us to be in community with people. The whole purpose of friendship is to encourage each other and share in each others joy and pain. in ephesians 6 it talks about dressing yourself in armor. The only thing about the armor is that the back side of it is left uncovered. I believe that is where the encouragement from your friends comes in because it is meant to build you up.
- scripture says that the word of the Lord is the sword of the Spirit. The word is truth and is used as an offensive attack on the enemy. The truth needs to be kept sacred because it is so powerful. The way that alice defeats the jabberwocky in the end is by the sword. the first thing she cut off was his tongue. because that represents the enemy being able to speak lies into your life. it is knowing your authority and that you dont have to listen to that. Alice was told before the battle: "the sword does the fighting, you just have to hold on to it" He was slayed by faith and the perseverance of being able to hold onto truth.
"The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ." 2 Corinthians 10:4-5
There is so much more in this movie to be revealed but i thought i would share just a little bit of what was shown to me through it :)
