A few days ago I advertised on the blog a film with this title, and today my sister in faith Anita, at my request, reviewed it right after the screening.
___________
I took the liberty of writing a review of the movie "Tide of Faith".
A remarkable story of a 12-year-old boy from Guatemala, adopted and living in the USA, whose parents are Protestants. As a result of teenagers playing on a frozen pond, the main character of the film drowns. 15 minutes spent under the surface in icy water makes all attempts of resuscitation fail. The boy's mother arrives at the hospital and is brought in to say goodbye to her dead child. She begins to pray, even shouting to the Holy Spirit, for help to save and revive the child. And so it happens, the pulse returns. Unfortunately, the doctors claim that the child will not survive the night, but it does not happen that way. The boy is alive, hooked up to life support. His organs have stopped working, his lungs are full of blood. Doctors point out that even if he would wake up, he will be a so-called "vegetable". But it is not happening. Our wonderful Almighty Lord has other plans for him. The boy returns not only to life, but also to the state of total efficiency in a short time. A medical miracle!
Coming to my impressions: the film plays strongly on emotions, which is typical for American cinema. Intentional dramatization, sometimes unfortunately it starts to sound grotesque... Sometimes you have an impression that you are watching a musical.
And what did I miss most?
I missed the speech about Jesus Christ the most. Yes, at the beginning of the film there are a few sentences about the Son of God, said in a shot. The pastor who delivers the sermon invites a rock band on stage to worship and speaks in a youthful style, or dresses very casually... and pretends to be casually.
The main character's mother is a bitter, mean-spirited grandmother who teases the pastor as she gets the chance.
The end of the video talks about the power of prayer and love and God, but not Jesus...
The overall conclusion is that only love matters and others unite ....
I have mixed feelings after this movie. I definitely prefer the item such as: Switch Survivors, The Most Wonderful Stranger, Trial by Fire, War Room, Do You Really Believe, Resurrected, etc.
Let everyone judge for themselves :)))
Greetings!
Praise the Lord Jesu!

As this review by Anita shows, something that was done for the glory of God and Jesus has been transformed into universal love without Jesus, yet it is only in him that we have salvation. Luciano culture will use even such a great event as this miracle for its own purposes. If there was a rapture tomorrow they would probably make a super box office feature film out of it changing the facts and motives of the rapture.
To sum up, cloying religious films should be watched with a distance.
Anita listed her favorite movies, and I, in turn, can wholeheartedly recommend a movie called "The Encounter".

It's a shame, because the story seems like interesting material for a film of this type...
I had forgotten about this film, as well as "The Cause of Christ". Thanks Peter for reminding me.
Greetings in Christ the Lord!
Yes, the movie "The Case of Christ" I highly recommend it 🙂 .
Welcome,
I thought I would be able to see this movie too but it turns out that it is not as readily available at least as I was browsing that week.
A very interesting and not hasty review. I can add what I have already noticed when advertising the trailer, an actress of very large stature (promoting obesity and female elevation) with a loud voice, without restraint and delicacy, neatly and decently behaving and dressed also not really...
It is the name of Jesus and praying to Him and fulfilling the Law as proof of love and not salvation from the Law of works (as those who run from the Law think) that hurts the world of dark spiritual power. Hence the promotion of healing videos based on a small part of the truth for all things were created by and for Christ.
I thank the Father for the Holy Spirit who always confirms the Word of God. The charismatic movement follows the Spirit and the Word afterwards, although some people oppose this, saying that they should agree with the Word, but the Law of God, the Decalogue, they do not take it as a whole yet, and those who have already taken it are treated as fallen from grace. Much deception comes by the spirit of god.
wow Natalia...I guess fasting and resting paid off 🙂 .

In the Word it is clear that prayer and fasting are combined, so it is appropriate to use them from time to time and even more often if necessary, but not to go to extremes?
I suppose they chose this actress because the real mother of the film's main character is also a woman of considerable size, which can be seen at the end of the film, where they show real photos of the boy's family and friends.
