Have you seen The Matrix? I want to be like Neo. I dont know if you have seen this, but I saw it again recently.
Neo's existence is a world that involves a computer matrix dimension and the actual people are immersed in water and enslaved in a storage facility, but their consciousness is in a virtual world that they think is the real physical world. Their environments are manipulated by the one who controls this virtual world and they dont realize they are actually all slaves. They are limited by the matrix-world they live in and if they die in the virtual world, their actual bodies will die as well.
Neo figures out that he is actually not limited by the matrix in reality and through this realizes that there are laws at work outside of the physical world he finds himself in. He becomes freed and he is able to do things in the matrix that defy its programmed-in laws, such as dodge bullets, fly like superman and do miraculous things. He was actually able to do this because others who were already freed dared to tell him.
Prior to my spiritual birth, I was physically born in slavery to sin. I am limited by the physical world and its properties. Whether I realize it or not, there is a spiritual world that is even more real than the physical. There are abilities to do things way outside of the physical laws that I am governed by. I can apply those spiritual laws in such a way that miraculous things can happen so long as I am truly plugged into God and filled with His spirit. I am in a spiritual battle between God and the deceiver of the world. To do this I must truly be saved, having repented and letting the Spirit fill me and lead me in the exercise of these abilities. I must be walking with Him NOW, not just in the past. I must stay plugged into God and His life line and not trust my physical surroundings but a higher law.
I am no spiritual giant. In fact i have less faith than a mustard seed yet have seen God do miracles through this wretched person I am at times and others. Yes, for real just ask me some time.
Let us step beyond into the work God is really trying to do here. Dont be limited by just what you see in the physical world. Take the red pill of Christ's blood and step out of the Matrix, you'll be glad you did.
Step out of the Matrix.
Any one else have any parallels to share that you get from this movie or am I the only weird one that way who looks for stuff like this in movies?

I am a nerd like this, too. Now I know where I get it :)
It's easy for our eyes to recognize Christ in what most secular artists call the "battle of good and evil" theme. But with the Matrix, it's encouraging to know that the Master Programmer is working in ways beyond our wildest imaginations and we will only be able to make sense of how He works for good when we meet Him in Glory!
