Close Encounters of the third kind was a 1970's sci-fi introducing the possibility of there being something more (life) beyond our day to day world. The main character's encounter with a UFO starts a tailspin of investigation into the possibility and knowledge that intelligent life beyond earth is a possibility. As the movie unfolds, it becomes obvious that more than a few people (i.e. the government) know about extraterrestrials, UFOs and a world beyond anyone's imagination. Of course....this is a just a movie about what the possibilities could be past what mankind can see, imagine or grasp.
"But when he, the Spirit of Truth, comes, He will guide you into all the truth; for He will not speak on His own initiative, but whatever he hears, he will speak; and He will disclose to you what is to come." (John 16:13 The Open Bible)
God's desire for us is very simple; that we would know Him and power of His truth (found in the Bible). Jesus was sent to represent to us (in the flesh the passion) the love and eternal forgiveness God extends to us once we become believers in His truth. When Jesus ascended into heaven, the work of the Holy Spirit began. That work was meant for our good, as well as our eternal benefit. Can we only imagine if we fully utilized and paid attention to God speaking to us through the Holy Spirit how different our lives would be? Better yet, how do we discern the difference between our own inner voice and the voice of God? God's voice always speaks truth, in love, and directs us towards God's purpose and plan. God's purpose is for mankind to know Him and to surrender their lives fully to Him. Testing the voice you hear is very simple; does it benefit me more than it benefits God? If the answer is yes, then question what you hear. If the answer is no, than test what you hear by follow God's leading. If the outcome brings others towards God then you know it was from God, used for His glory.
Thought to live by: God uses the Holy Spirit in our lives to communicate His will to us.
