Kingdoms on Air - The Battle: A Documentary

Documentary

Artist Statement

About a year ago, a sermon by a Spirit-filled man changed my life. Months after, I was still unable to forget the Spirit-inspired words of this man of wisdom. I always knew the battle we are in is not of flesh and blood, but what troubled me was that I was actively in a war that I wasn’t even aware of. A war was taking place in a space I spent a lot of time in and enjoyed: The internet…the media. Kingdoms on Air is a documentary film exploring the life-changing concepts propounded by the late Dr. Myles Munroe in his message “Understanding the Power and Purpose of the Kingdom of the Air”. According to Ephesians 2:2, this world is controlled by the prince of the power of the air. We see the evidence of this in the lawlessness that is plaguing our world through the spirit that worketh in the children of disobedience. It is important to know the different battlefields that the enemy is fighting on so we can fully guard ourselves against his wiles. Through this documentary, we teach of one of his main grounds in the 21st century. With the use of modern media, Satan has elevated the Spiritual Battle being waged in the world. The prince of the air uses the media to pervert and spread deception by appealing to the human emotion which ultimately controls our choices. The human soul is made up of our will power (choices) and our emotions. The enemy appeals to our power of choice through our emotions. If he controls our will power, he ultimately controls our eternal destiny. In the 21st century, the spiritual battle has entered our comfort zones without our very knowledge. This battle is the spaces we enjoy the most: Our technology. By no means, is it our intention to posit that the media is all bad. God, through His people, has entered the space and uses it to spread the gospel far and wide. However, we must understand, that a large portion of popular media is under the control of the Prince of the Air and so we must always have our guards up when we consume content.
What we constantly watch, listen to, scroll through and ultimately consume affects our choices. There is war for our souls in the media. We unconsciously consume lies and deceptions which the conscious mind (our thinkings) feeds the subconscious mind (our heart). The heart is linked to our emotions and our will ie. The soul. Whatever the conscious mind repeatedly hears it deposits into the subconscious mind. This is dangerous because as a man thinketh in is heart so is he (Proverbs 23:7). If the enemy can subliminally plant seeds of lies through the media and control our heart and thinkings, his job is done.
The call? Beware of the Prince of the air. He has power in the world that was given to him by God. Satan has a Kingdom and a throne. Satan is called a prince because he is a ruler and possesses power to manifest evil in the World through influencing innocent people like us and the media is one of his most powerful tools. But remember, even though Satan has power and authority in the current world system, his power is limited and always under the sovereign control of God (Job 1:12), and it is temporary (Romans 16:20). God has not revealed all of the whys and whens concerning Satan’s rule, but He has made it clear that there is only one way to escape the power of Satan’s dominion, and that is through His Son, Jesus (Acts 26:18; Colossians 1:13–14). It is Jesus who declared victory: “Now the prince of this world will be driven out” (John 12:31). Until he is driven out, guard your heart and be vigilant in the virtual world.

How it fits into contest

The documentary highlights New Media as a key contributor to the spiritual battle described in Ephesians 6. Many individuals are unware of the power of the media and what it is doing to their souls. This causes us to be in danger and ultimately disarmed against it. The call is for Christians to suit up in the Spiritual Armour when they are engaging with radio, television, social media and the internet at large. The power of subliminal messaging has been discussed for decades. But as the Lord’s coming inches closer and the war against the soul intensifies, we must be on guard against this prominent entity in our lives and its impact on our thoughts, behaviour and heart.

Transcript / Lyrics

Part 1 - MEDIA: THE BATTLEFIELD
[VO MYLES MUNROE] There is an attack on your soul like you'll never believe. You got 125 channels in your house with a remote control. And every button is after your soul.
[Interviewee JHENELLE LEWIS] It's mind boggling. The media is what the prince of the air is using to pervert and spread deception. And he's doing that by appealing to our human emotions, which ultimately control our choices. So here's the catch. The Prince of the air controls the air. Television, radio, social media, it's all a perfectly constructed network that is being used by him.
[VO MYLES MUNROE] This ain’t entertainment. This is containment. They want to contain you. They want to control you. So you better understand what they're doing.
[Interviewee JHENELLE LEWIS] Naturally through us, God uses social media and all these different channels to spread the gospel as well. But just remember that the dominant force in this realm is the enemy.
Part 2 The Conscious Mind, The Subconscious Mind and The Battle
[VO MYLES MUNROE] The will controls the destiny of man. The seat of the will is the conscious and the subconscious mind. That's where the will lives. It lives in the heart. Your heart is your subconscious mind. And your subconscious mind is the seat of control for your life. So you've got a mind that is always conscious. But then you've got a mind beneath that, that is not always conscious. But it's deeper and more important than your conscious mind.
[Interviewee JHENELLE LEWIS] Dr. Munroe's message was so eye opening. What we watch, listen to, scroll through, and ultimately consume affect our choices. So we unconsciously consume life through social media, TV, or whatever it is. And our conscious mind or thinkings places it into our subconscious mind, our heart. So whatever the conscious mind hears repeatedly, it places in our heart.
[VO MYLES MUNROE] That is why repetition is dangerous. You are safe. As long as something is in your conscious mind, you're still safe because you can forget what's in your conscious mind. But the key is to get it to your subconscious mind. Once it gets there, then you are in trouble. Why? Because the mind is the centre of thought and it holds the key to life. As a man thinketh where? in his heart, so is he. It's a battle for the mind.
Part 3 - KINGDOMS ON AIR – The Battle for The Mind
[VO MYLES MUNROE] So we got two kingdoms, and both are after your soul. What is your soul? Your mind, your will, your emotions. God is battling for your soul. So is Satan.
[Director JAVAUGHN LEWIS] So, guys, beware of the prince of the air. Be mindful of what you watch, listen to and scroll through.
[Interviewee JHENELLE LEWIS] At the end of the day, just make sure you're on the right side. Make sure you're consuming the right content. And make sure it's aligned with God. Because there are two kingdoms at war for your soul.
