Lola rennt - Run Lola Run

This is a German movie, but can also be watched with English subtitles. Since it ranks among the top 100 movies of world cinema*, it became known internationally quite a bit.

After finding out that dishonoring her father did not bring the desired success in the 2nd run, Lola goes for an entirely different approach and prays to God. The Casino which pops up next seems to be a sign to her and she wins more than the required 100,000 DM by betting two times on the number 20 (although she has less than 20 minutes left at that time). As she is about to win a second time with this number, she seems to be travailing as she gives birth to the answer of her prayer on the earth. This travailing of the body of Christ will cause the thin artificial separations (glas) to shatter, which are limiting the free flow and moving of the Holy Spirit.

By the time she won the amount in the Casino, Manni had already gotten most of his 100,000 back from the beggar who had taken it in the beginning of the movie. Since the Lord new this beforehand, why did he cause Lola to win in the Casino nevertheless? That would cause the couple to receive far more money than they need! This is the message for Germany and beyond:

Can you see how good the Lord is, how much he loves you? He desires to bless you in all areas of your life far more than you can think or imagine. He even gives prophetic people like Bobby Conner permission to try to exaggerate his goodness. I believe we have that permission, as well. Try to exaggerate the goodness of God in your life, as well as the lives of other people, and see how far you can get to the truth.

This movie plays in Berlin, which is the heart of Germany, both historically and politically. It is most important that we receive a deep revelation about the goodness of God in our heart. He is so good that he gave the best he owned for you as a sacrifice.
