Spiderman 1 e-tract

With Great Powers by Jerry Dan Goldman

The first Spider-Man film tells the

origin story of the hero: how Peter

Parker got bitten by a spider, put

on a costume, had his friend Harry

Osbourne get mad at him, fell in

love with Mary Jane Watson, and

battled the Green Goblin

SPIDERMAN 1

The Spiderman story started with

the life struggle of an extremely

shy and reserved teenager, Peter

Parker. Though he is from a

humble background, he is

exceptionally brilliant in

academics. He has a friend that is

to later become his sworn enemy

who hails from a wealthy family

and he is also emotionally

attached to Mary-Jane a

classmate.

Peter's adventure began when he

was bitten by one of the new

species of radioactive spider.

This experiment got him infected

supernaturally with spider like

ability. Soon he could spin webs

and developed extra sensory

features which made him super

normal, possessing extra ordinary

strength and powers.

Display of Power

The transformation of Parker

from an ordinary folk to a super

normal being is so likened to the

change and adventure that God

has determined to display in the

lives of some chosen ones in this

end times. You see the fact is that

everyone who is born anew by

the Spirit of God actually

undergoes a great change

figuratively similar to this in their

human spirits and now God is

determined to make this spiritual

change reflect in the physical (i.e.

outwardly) in the lives of some.

This is

for a

special

reason

that is to

establish

His

Kingdom

on earth

through

the

display

of His

power. It

says,

through

the

greatness

of thy power, thy enemies shall

submit themselves to you (Ps...

)

The similarities between the

adventure of Spiderman and

those God has purposed to use is

so striking that they are worthy

of note.

Let's quickly examine them

(1) Ordinary folk with

humble background. As the guy

Great Change

With Great Powers comes

great responsibilities

behind the spider mask was a

normal folk with life challenges

that seems to be overwhelming,

God's mighty ones in this end time

are guys who are also bedevilled

with life challenges.many wise men

after the flesh, not many mighty, not

many noble, are called. But God hath

chosen the foolish things of the

world to confound the wise; and God

hath chosen the weak things of the

world to confound the things which

are mighty; And base things of the

world, and things which are despised,

hath God

chosen,

yea, and

things

which are

not, to

bring to

nought

things that

are: That

no flesh

should glory in his presence. (I cor.

1: 26-29).

And even after they are

transformed some of these will still

face them to help keep them humble

in spite of the great things the Spirit

of God will wrought through them.

One of the greatest super heroes of

all time, Paul the apostle who so

demonstrate the power of God to

the extent that he was mistaken for

a god that should be worshiped at

different times had this to say, And

lest I should be exalted above

measure through the abundance of

the revelations, there was given to me

a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of

Satan to buffet me, lest I should be

exalted above measure.

For this thing I besought the Lord

thrice, that it might depart from me.

And he said unto me, My grace is

sufficient for thee: for my strength is

made perfect in weakness. Most

gladly therefore will I rather glory in

my infirmities, that the power of

Christ may rest upon me. Therefore

I take pleasure in infirmities, in

reproaches, in necessities, in

persecutions, in distresses for

Christs sake: for when I am weak,

then am I strong(Act 14:8-12 &

28:6)). I

hope

you

have

been

convince

d beyond reasonable doubt that this

is necessary for your perfection.

2.) He got transformed:

Transformation will be the

hallmark of those who will be used

either by God or the devil. What

you get transformed into depends

on what you are exposed to. Peter

Parker get transformed into a life

saving hero but the father of his

friend, Dr. Osborne got possessed

by a destructive demon. So its either

you are exposed to the Spirit of God

or to dark spirits. When the first

king of the ancient Israel got

exposed to the Spirit of God see

what happened:Then Samuel took

Saul also among the prophets? (I sam.

10:1,9).

See this examples of some of God's

super hero in history:

DAVID

Then Samuel took the horn of oil, and

anointed him in the midst of his

brethren: and the Spirit of the LORD

came upon David from that day

forward. So Samuel rose up, and went

to Ramah (I Sam 16:13).

JEPHTAH

''Then the Spirit of the LORD came

upon Jephthah, and he passed over

Gilead, and Manasseh, and passed over

Mizpah of Gilead, and from Mizpah of

Gilead he passed over unto the children

of Ammon...So Jephthah passed over

unto the children of Ammon to fight

against them; and the LORD delivered

them into his hands.And he smote them

from Aroer, even till thou come to

Minnith, even twenty cities, and unto the

plain of the vineyards, with a very great

slaughter. Thus the children of Ammon

were subdued before the children of

Israel.'' (Judges 11:29, 32-33).

OTHNIEL

And when the children of Israel cried

unto the LORD, the LORD raised up a

deliverer to the children of Israel, who

delivered them, even Othniel the son of

Kenaz, Caleb's younger brother.

And the Spirit of the LORD came upon

him, and he judged Israel, and went out

to war: and the LORD delivered

Chushanrishathaim king of

Mesopotamia into his hand; and his

hand prevailed against

Chushanrishathaim. And the land had

rest forty years. Judges 3:9-10

The Spirit of God will be anointing

some for special assignments this end-

time and its going to be a swell time in

Gods presence. Are you qualified to be

one of these? Are you positioned to get

this commissioning from the Most

High?

When He comes looking for whom to

use, would you be found worthy or

wanting. Are you serious with God or

you are still playing the hide and seek

game like Adam did when God came

calling(Gen. 3:8-10). God told cain, If

thou doest well, shalt thou not be

accepted? and if thou doest not well, sin

lies at the door and seeks to master

you (Gen 4:7). So you see, you are the

determining factor.

You need a new life that only faith in the atoning work of Christ can give you. The atoning work

of Christ is what Jesus Christ the Son of the living God did when he died as a substitute for all

mankind on the cross. When you believe in this act of sacrifice and ask Christ to come into your

heart to change you, then this new life that has the capacity to house the Spirit of the living God

will be yours. Find a private place to pray this prayer now because the Spirit of God is where

you are, ready to listen and act on your request. Well be happy to hear that you are now a child

of God and will be more than willing to guide you through the greatest adventure ever. Please

The Super Hero Series

The Super Hero Series is aimed at bringing the salient truths of the

scripture home to the young adults by using what they are familiar with to

to relate with these privileged ones. Some of the topics available are listed

below:

great truths of the scriptures that could be learnt in the fictional
