What One Man Can Do Another Can Do.

Charles:    We’ll have to distract him and trap him, but it can be done.  
                  Do you believe it, Bob? 
                           You believe it? 
Robert:            I don’t know Charles. 
                        I don’t think it’ll work. 
Charles:            It will work! 
Robert:            No! 
Charles:            It will work.  What one man can do another can do.  
Robert:            You can’t kill the bear, Charles.  He’s… 
                        He’s ahead of us all the time, like he’s reading our minds. 
                        He’s stalking us, for God’s sakes! 
Charles:            You want to die out here, huh? Well, then die. 
But I tell you what… I’m not gonna die. No, sirree. I’m not gonna die. No, I’m gonna kill the bear. Say it, “I’m gonna kill the bear. I’m gonna kill the bear!” Say it! 
Robert:             I’m gonna kill the bear. 

This famous dialogue comes from a great movie, “The Edge” with Anthony Hopkins and Alec Baldwin.  When Mary and I saw it, I was ministering in the prophetic and other gifts. However, I was battling rejection from forty odd years as a severe stutterer. I was beleaguered with massive insecurity issues. The devils of fear, who had unceasingly tortured me from childhood, still played havoc with my thoughts.  The first rays of self-esteem were finally breaking through cobwebs of profound rejection.  I dwelt in the house of comparing myself to others and in the dungeon of self-criticism.  As this famous dialogue between Alec Baldwin and Anthony Hopkins evolved, God broke through.

Trapped in icy Alaskan tundra after an airplane crash, Hopkins and Baldwin are being stalked by a killer grizzly bear (Bart, the Bear).  Baldwin (Robert) is convinced that he and Hopkins (Charles), will come to a horrendous end in the teeth of this huge creature. Baldwin paralyzed with terror is angrily challenged by Hopkins and these famous words.

 “What one man can do another can do…” . But I tell you what… I’m not gonna die. No, sirree. I’m not gonna die. No, I’m gonna kill the bear. Say it, “I’m gonna kill the bear. I’m gonna kill the bear!” Say it! 

I’m gonna kill the bear!!!   I’m gonna kill the bear!!!  

At this moment and in that scene, God’s flashing light from heaven knocked me down from the horse of fear as His voice thundered into my heart. It was the beginning of my road to victory.
