What's A Christian To Do???

I have debated within myself whether to blog or not...so while I am still debating this issue, I decided some things that have happened to me are worth posting especially in light of the news now days.

My husband and I found ourselves invited to a gathering a couple of months ago. We were to have a meal and a movie afterwards. Sounds harmless enough right...except the movie was to be a scary movie. As a Christian I really do not think it is a good idea to watch 'scary' movies. I sincerely believe you open supernatural doors when you engage in such behavior. The Bible speaks of taking every thought captive and those things you think on, you have as much done....And also, Christ himself was most of the time found among those who needed him, not the religious leaders of that day. So I felt to go and be at this gathering is totally what Christ would have done.

Anyhow back to the topic at hand, the scary movie and what is a Christian to do? We were invited, we felt we should go, now do we not go because of the scary movie. After all, Christians are supposed to have dominion and authority over ALL things. We decided to attend the event. As I was sitting next to my hubby having a feverent discussion with Jesus over the movie, I was happy to find out that it was based on a 'true story'. It was a movie I had seen previews to but knew that I would not personally go out and buy it to watch. This movie is supposedly based on a true story. I really enjoy 'true movie' contents. Now realize I am not talking doctrine here. I am talking about finding yourself in circumstances over which you really have no say in what happens or doesn't happen and finding the truth that God means for you to find in that circumstance.

Okay, sorry for the rambling, as I was having this debate with the Lord, actually I was praying the blood of Jesus over us because I knew that the movie would either be: A) About satanism, B) about witchcraft or wiccan/pagan, or C) demonic (see A or B) in content. It was getting pretty intense in the movie about this time, and I'm asking the Lord ; "Okay Jesus, what do I do? " As in do I get up and walk out, risk offending the people there, start rebuking the spirits and totally throw the guests in a state of disorder, or sit there and take authority. Right as I am asking the Lord and praying for his protection, a lead character in the movie turned straight on, front face shot, close in to the camera and it was as if he was speaking directly to me. Well, the character wasn't but I believe the Lord was....He said, "Fear NO evil!" It was very stern. It was a real reminder to me of exactly the position we have in Christ Jesus. His Word tells us we have ALL authority and power. I believe we are not to go looking for these situations, but when we find ourselves in them, we are to take authority. God has given us the victory. Fear No Evil!
