God loves through us
Furious Love is the sequel to Finger of God, the film that documented signs and wonders around the world. Darren, the filmmaker, is still hard at work putting the finishing touches on this sequel. This story takes the viewer on an amazing journey with the filmmaker as he searches for the limits of God’s love in some of the darkest spiritual climates on earth. Even though the film isn’t quite finished, I was eager to get reactions to the film so I’ve held a few previews. The first two times I saw it I couldn’t get out of my chair for a little while. I just had to sit and let it soak in. I could feel the power of God so strong. There were also several times I found tears streaming down my cheeks as I witnessed our amazing God loving those that were hurting with such compassion and unconditional acceptance. I felt so small as I watched other Christians in places like India considering it an honor and a blessing to suffer persecution for Christ. If you’re one of those that has seen a preview of this film I hope you’ll share your thoughts and feelings with us.
This is a copy of an email I received about Finger of God a few days ago.
I have to tell you I sent my son, Adam, the Finger of God DVD while he was still in the Marines at Camp Pendleton CA.
(He had just recently finished his 2nd tour in Iraq.) Some days later, I was woken up at 2:30 a.m. by a phone call.
It was Adam, sobbing so hard I could barely understand him. I was wondering what could have happened? After he got his composer, he apologized saying he hadn’t cried like this in a very long time. He went on to explain he had just finished the movie. He said that while he was watching it, he felt the presence of God in the room . It was so strong, that he actually felt a hand on his back that just stayed there a while, downloading love and generating heat that ran throughout his body. He said he had injured himself earlier that week exercising and had been experiencing pain by his lower right abdomen. But that now, the pain was completely gone. But greater yet, he was so grateful for how the film spoke to him and how he so needed that encounter with God, who visited him that night, as he lay alone watching the Finger of God.
I can’t wait to see Furious Love.

Minutes into the film I was hooked and what followed was one of the best experiences I have ever had watching a film. I LOVE THIS FILM. It says things I have felt for years, wanted to say but never could get it right, and here I see it acted out. Most of the stories are incredibly compelling and anointed with the Truth of Christ.
I know this probably looks weird because I am in the film. But, I loved it. Even if I wasn’t in it. This movie gives people permission to go to the extremes. We were all taught to fear the darkness but F.L. shows us that Darkness fears us. We aren’t fighting people but the Darkness. Satanists and Muslims aren’t my enemies they are my opportunities to see the Kingdom Break in. Saddle Up!!!!
это потрясный фильм!!!
очень коснулся меня! спасибо Дэрэн за создание этого мощного фильма! он очень вдохновил меня. Хочу идти в темные места! после фильма мы пошли на улицы молиться за людей.
Так здорово, что Робби в этом фильме. Боьшое благословение и большая привилегия знать его!

This movie has touched me a lot! Thank u, Darren, for making such a powerful film! It has encouraged me. I want to go to dark places! We went to pray for people in the streets after we finished watching F.L.
It’s an amazing film
It’s so cool that Robby is in this movie. It’s a big blessing and a big privilege to know him!
It was great watching Furious Love. I came away with an even greater desire to be with – to love and pray for – those who are lost in spiritual darkness. Cool to see Robby in there too!
Solid movie. Its an eye opener for those who don’t believe in the spirit world or thought that demons aren’t active in the west. This movie proves that the most powerful force in the universe is love, a love that sets captives free and mends broken hearts, no matter how shattered they are.
Jesus you’re beautiful
I have been a missionary for almost 3 years in one of the poorest countries in Africa and am now headed to Asia longer term. Watching this movie moved my heart greatly. Firstly because this movie is very accurate and real in its portrayal of spiritual darkness in other parts of the world. And releasing the love of God into someone’s life is one of the most rewarding experiences anyone can be a part of. Secondly, because it is a wake-up message to the western church. If the western church ignores this message, it will leave her in a very dangerous place for what is to come…the Body of Christ in the west needs to not be 5 foolish virgins, but 5 wise ones…the love of God is our best and most powerful weapon. Oh Lord help us wake up to your unconditional love! We need to allow God to heal our hearts so we can receive His love and then we will be able to give this love purely to those who are so desperately crying out for it. I used to be a girl displaying her body for money and men to see. Now I am transformed and whole because of the LOVE of God. Religion made me feel like a stripper, Love made me feel like a daughter. Choose this day whom you will serve. Do not ignore the message in this movie. It is not to entertain, but to move us to experience the love of God so we can not just be transformed, but to transform the nations for life and love eternally. Many many blessings to all those who put this film together for all of us to see. Thank you for making this film and it being REAL. REAL in the sense of not sugar-coating the darkness or the fact that not everyone gets healed. (Which is not because God doesn’t want to, but just like in the film, sometime we need to regroup and ask God what HE wants to do in the situation. He always wants to heal, but how He does it is the mystery we need to discover) The world is much darker than you think…and it is only getting worse. Whether you care to believe it or not. And yet, the earth is groaning to see the transforming love of God in His sons and daughters to come forth. HE IS WORTHY! This film clearly depicts that His love is our only hope to see the people suffering in this world to have HOPE and LIFE. I pray that MANY people see this and are changed enough inside to go after God with everything they have and then take that love received and give it away…to the ends of the earth! BLESS YOU ALL MUCH!!
Furious Love has so stirred my heart and spirit for the “more” that God has made available to those who hunger and thirst for Him. I felt the same awe that I felt after watching Finger of God. I again stand amazed at the strength, power and greatness of the love of God poured out for all to take hold of. Furious Love is an encounter!
I was being bleesed when i watch this finger of Gods Video.. i CRIED and I was being more motivated to Continue Serving the Lord in Our Church as A fulltime Worker Here in the Phillippines. well God Blees you sow mutch Guys and im Excited to watch this upcoming And Mucth Awaited movie Worldwide . hope you will send me More INFORMATION about this ,.. thangx
This was an amazingly true film on the radical love that God pours out! It is as much eye-opening as it is heart-stirring. A great call to the church to “go” as Jesus commanded & to discover what happens when we dare to love BIG. May we as believers live so boldly as to take God at His word, meet people where they are, carry the light of Christ to the darkest places & love like Jesus! Thanks for sharing this w/us…..& for reminding us of our mission here on the earth as followers of the God who is LOVE.
