I'm on day 6 coming clean off of a high dose of methadone and I'm searching for ways to stay sober, listening to songs, praying for physical healing, listening to this gives me strength and comfort
gamerman360 unfortunately I am not clean. I am working on getting to a sober house 5 states away. Maybe that will help me. Something has to before these things take my life. They took my former husband. You'd think that would be my wake up call.
Jessica Nash I am in a similar situation with you. For me, I have a different addiction: porn. You would think I would learn, that I would listen to the warnings that I have heard so many times... but I don't. It's like what Paul writes, "I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do." (Romans 7:15). Sounds familiar? We all have this, even Paul, the person who planted a large number of churches and served God with all of his heart! But let's look at what Paul writes later in Romans 7, "Thanks be to God, who delivers me through Jesus Christ our Lord!" (Romans 7:25a). Whenever we are tempted, let us continually pray and look up to God. He will deliver us, but we have to look to Him in order to be delivered. I'll be praying for you and your struggles. Everyone here has them. Just remember that God is bigger than everything you face! Blessings in Christ.
I want to share this with you. I started drinking when I was 16. I would drink at parties, but I also started drinking alone because I was unhappy, and I was in a lot of emotional pain all the time. My mom was very aggressive when I was younger, and my brother hated her and so did I. He started hanging out with shady people, he started failing all his classes, he was never home, and my parents fought all the time. I also ran away several times. I was always trying to figure out a reason as to why I was here or what the purpose of life was. So, I started looking at different philosophies, religions, and beliefs. When I was 18 after I was hungover, I got on my knees and I prayed for the first time. I asked if God was real that he would show me he was real because I couldn’t take it anymore. I was crying when I prayed for this. At that moment I felt a presence come over me like a wind. It was barely noticeable, but it was unlike anything in my life I had experienced up until that point. I was surprised when I felt it and I remember saying “what was that?” after that experience I pretty much forgot what happened and kept partying, until my senior year when I got arrested. After my arrest, my parents lost all their trust in me and I was expelled from high school. I was told never to come back. At that time, I felt afraid and hopeless. That’s when I started looking for God, and I prayed that he would reveal himself in my life and that he would give me signs. My prayers began getting answered so consistently that I couldn’t deny that God was doing something. It was mysterious and compelling. I ended up in Church and started reading the bible hours a day. I stopped hanging out with all my other friends because they were continually getting arrested. I was able to forgive my family and myself and to ask to be forgiven. I noticed how at Church people were judgmental and how they formed cliques but were afraid to be around anyone else different from them. It increased my faith because I realized Jesus was not like that and ever since I was young, I saw people as people regardless of who they were. After a while, it’s like I could see God's presence was in my life and then it felt like he wasn’t, and then he was, and then he wasn’t. One day I woke up and felt more depressed than I ever have in my entire life. I felt like I was dying on the inside. That night I prayed, and I said, God, I don’t see my life five years from now I'm going to die Jesus save me Lord, please save me. I was weeping when I said it and when I asked him to save me, I felt a presence inside of me like a heartbeat, and I felt it once like a pulse, and I said Lord please save me and I felt it again even stronger. It was like radiance. When I woke up the next morning, I had transformed everything felt brand new like I was a kid again. All my fears and all my racing thoughts everything was gone. I looked at my hands, and I said this can’t be real it’s impossible. When I looked at myself in the mirror, I saw a different person. I started praying, and the holy spirit became entirely real to me it was washing over me and inside of me. It was total love and peace, and I heard a voice but not an audible one, it was an inner voice. It said I am with you; I love you, I will never leave you, it’s done it’s finished. That was May 3rd, 2009, and ever since then I’ve followed God, I have seen many things change and many things I know wouldn’t have changed without faith and belief. I know what it’s like to be lost to feel you have no hope. Don’t ever think you’re stuck, or life can’t change because it can. My mom is a Christian now, Its night and day. Some of the things that went away during that period were severe anxiety and my addiction to alcohol. I’ve seen and experienced so many things that are miraculous and seen how God has worked in my life. When we ask God to forgive us for what we’ve done and turn away from our sins and wrongdoings and we believe in Christ's sacrifice everything changes. His word says if we confess with our mouths that Jesus is Lord and believe in our hearts that he died and rose again we will have eternal life but not just life after death but abundant life in the present. Our sins are erased not only past, present, and future but our burdens and fears are lifted also. Our thoughts, our minds, our hearts, our souls are transformed and united with God and we know his spirit lives in us. If you seek, pray, and knock you will know JESUS IS KING!!! HE LIVES! It only takes one changed heart to change the world.
@@GhostMonkey772Beautiful and emotional read, especially while having this song playing in the background. I respect you for typing all of that out, I am so proud of you and totally believe all what you said. I hope you are still following the lord. I wanna try to dobut so, more consistently but I am such a procrastinator. I have began to pray every Monday for the past 3 weeks now, and I’m hoping to keep it up along with increasing those numbers.
AMEN in JESUS CHRIST'S GREAT and Mighty NUCLEAR NAME NAME ABOVE All other NAMES in whom All creation is immediately and permanently subject to HIM it is WRITTEN it is FINISHED SELAH Hallelujah
I am lucky enough to say I saw them live and they closed their set with this song. It was incredible by the end everyone couldn't help but to go on their knees. I'll never forget it.
I gotta admit one thing, the happiness we get in this world is jus temporary. It doesn't last for that long. But having Jesus, on the other hand we're no longer alone. For our lord is eternal.
I never believed in god until now.. My fiancee of 5 years left and I summoned the courage to tell her how I really feel and I think the grace of God truly gave her to me... I was always so angry but now all I see is happiness and love.. I watched the video of the same song performed at the scream the prayer 2014 where everything went out except for two lights and a guitar and to see people united together of all races proves something.. Please forgive me.. For now I see..
Amazing testimony, your very fortunately blessed by now. That one moment you woke yourself and opened your heart felt great I'm sure. You breathed in life and to come to god willingly means your old life was no good and to see hope when you don't know shows god alive. To have faith from witnessing shows god's mightiness. Awesome. I hope your loving god still to this day and stay blessed bud.
Psalm 145:18-20 - King James Version (KJV 1900) 18 The Lord is nigh unto all them that call upon him, To all that call upon him in truth. 19 He will fulfil the desire of them that fear him: He also will hear their cry, and will save them. 20 The Lord preserveth all them that love him: But all the wicked will he destroy Thank YOU thank YOU thank YOU thank YOU thank YOU GOD from each one of us to all of YOU we appreciate YOU forever for all generations "" In JESUS CHRIST'S great and MIGHTY NUCLEAR NAME NAME above all other NAMES in whom all creation is immediately and permanently subject to HIM it is WRITTEN it is FINISHED hallelujah SELAH AMEN
Thank you!!! I've been looking for lyrics for years for this song and just found them!!! I never have been able to pronounce the name of this song or remember it until this year.
I will bring them also to my holy mountain of Jerusalem and make them full of joy within my House of Prayer. I will accept their sacrifices and offerings, for my Temple shall be called “A House of Prayer for All People”!
Aaronic Blessing- May the Lord bless you and keep you, may the Lord shine His face towards you and be gracious towards you, may the Lord lift up His countenance towards you and give you peace. His peace His shalom, peace that surpasses all understanding, it's the peace only the Prince of Peace and the lord of Peace can give. Now and Forever, here and everywhere- In Jesus name Amen
The first time I listened to the song, I barely understood what the guy in the background was saying. now that I know I really do feel connected to this song :)
I am Going through somethings I accepted in my Heart to keep my Body pure and all my sins is nail to the Cross today and that I am free and that I keep Faith strong and have A Pure spirit Body in the spirit of truth in Jesus Christ well help me broke my Sins and all sin in my Life to be Call his my King and savior in Jesus Christ also that I stay away from all wrongdoing in all my Life in sins I repent to the one Godhead In faith the son of God in his one spirit of God I repent in the Lord the Holy Spirit of Spirit of truth in The Lord Jesus Name above every name having the right I the Lord the Holy Spirit Jehovah M'kaddesh saves and makes Holy in the holy spirit Acts 2:38-47.

Burning Magyk It's been played in a few churches I've been to. But the band itself is frowned upon because the way they spread the word. Sad, isn't it?
@@karmagaming57 The people that frown upon them for that reason frown upon them because they do not sugarcoat anything. They are explicitly and unapologetically Christian. I am an Eastern Orthodox Christian, and while For Today may have been Evangelical, I respect them heavily for not sugarcoating anything and for being explicitly Christian, with no fear of being ridiculed.
Epicunicorn88 No angry comments, man; but if you get them, they are clearly not understanding the point of the song. We all have a journey we take. Every moment of my life has led me to this point, just as every moment of your life has led you to this point. And it is THIS POINT where our lives have intersected, even for but a moment. Our life experiences affect and influence our viewpoint on life, and that is something I think the church seems to forget. We are all one, yet each of us are individuals. I've felt lost sitting in a lot of churches, especially since I love science, but something most churches fail to comprehend is that the Bible was written at a time when those writing it were not as advanced scientifically; however, Moses ascends and sees the world is round. The heavens were "Stretched out" by God; astronomers have just this year found that the big bang created "stretch marks" at the center of the universe. Most people, Christians included, think Genesis is the only spot in the Bible that talks about the Earth's creation; it's not. There are some interesting consistencies with science that both Christians and scientists fail to see. I don't know why I went off on the tangent, but I originally just wanted to let you know there are no angry comments from "real Christians" (I know, the "real scotsman" argument), but as I said, if they leave angry comments they don't get the point. Perhaps they get angry because they're confused and question what they believe. Regardless of your faith, theology, or philosophy, may your steps find you happiness and keep you true to yourself.
Lethivant I know, there's an "inconsistency" with my saying those who've written the Bible not being as technologically sound as we are currently. My answer to that is this: Although God may have put it in their minds and influenced their writing, they may not have listened (either because of social stigmas, personal views conflicting with that of which God may have been telling them, etc.). Have you ever had an idea for a paper that you needed to write and, when you were finished, the paper didn't quite turn out the way you wanted it to? That's kind of how I see some of the stuff within the Bible.

Thanks bro, I'm struggling but I'm sure I'll get it figured out one day
eventually we all will!!!!!

I am pretty sure that one dislike was Lucifer himself... but nobody really cares if it was lol
Lol probably
Just wanna warn you,dont overeat
One of my favorite for today songs((;
I usually don't support songs that sing about Prophets but damn. They nailed it on this one, like wow For Today is fucking royal.
I agree they did nail it, but the song is about the Creator of prophets.
this song is not about prophets.

I was weeping when I said it and when I asked him to save me, I felt a presence inside of me like a heartbeat, and I felt it once like a pulse, and I said Lord please save me and I felt it again even stronger. It was like radiance. When I woke up the next morning, I had transformed everything felt brand new like I was a kid again. All my fears and all my racing thoughts everything was gone. I looked at my hands, and I said this can’t be real, it's impossible. When I looked at myself in the mirror, I saw a different person. I started praying, and the holy spirit became entirely real to me; it was washing over me and inside of me. It was total love and peace, and I heard a voice but not an audible one, it was an inner voice. It said I am with you; I love you, I will never leave you, it’s done it’s finished. That was May 3rd, 2009, and ever since then I’ve followed God, I have seen many things change and many things I know wouldn’t have changed without faith and belief. I know what it’s like to be lost to feel you have no hope. Don’t ever think you’re stuck, or life can’t change because it can. My mom is a Christian now, Its night and day. Some of the things that went away during that period were severe anxiety and my addiction to alcohol. I’ve seen and experienced so many things that are miraculous and seen how God has worked in my life. When we ask God to forgive us for what we’ve done and turn away from our sins and wrongdoings and we believe in Christ's sacrifice everything changes. His word says if we confess with our mouths that Jesus is Lord and believe in our hearts that he died and rose again we will have eternal life but not just life after death but abundant life in the present. Our sins are erased not only past, present, and future but our burdens and fears are lifted also. Our thoughts, our minds, our hearts, our souls are transformed and united with God and we know his spirit lives in us. If you seek, pray, and knock you will know JESUS IS KING!!! HE LIVES!
Press into his kingdom and he will give you the desires of your heart. Your emotionally disconnect, the numbness, depression. No matter what it is. He will bring you back again.
I fucking love this song!
Fucking LOVE this song
HALLELUJAH
Is this a church song?
+Burning Magyk No just For todays outro
The are quite a heavy band as in metalcore ..
I love them
Burning Magyk It's been played in a few churches I've been to. But the band itself is frowned upon because the way they spread the word. Sad, isn't it?
@@karmagaming57 The people that frown upon them for that reason frown upon them because they do not sugarcoat anything. They are explicitly and unapologetically Christian. I am an Eastern Orthodox Christian, and while For Today may have been Evangelical, I respect them heavily for not sugarcoating anything and for being explicitly Christian, with no fear of being ridiculed.
@drumsforever92 amen to that
Does anyone know who did the message part of the song?
Jeff Buehler sounds like Mattie
Ryan does the clean vocals
the lord of glory part is a part of a song but mattie's part is his
Je te renouvelle.
@rockjock32492 thanks, bro! :)
Its Mattie doing the spoken word parts
Yes i believe
Did they wrote this song?! Well not the Bible verse but the song. Cause my youth leader claims it's a cover wich I deny
i dont believe in god but this song is pretty good
btw that is my opinion so reply with an angry comment if you like but i dont care everyone has their opinions this will be mine
Epicunicorn88 No angry comments, man; but if you get them, they are clearly not understanding the point of the song. We all have a journey we take. Every moment of my life has led me to this point, just as every moment of your life has led you to this point. And it is THIS POINT where our lives have intersected, even for but a moment. Our life experiences affect and influence our viewpoint on life, and that is something I think the church seems to forget. We are all one, yet each of us are individuals. I've felt lost sitting in a lot of churches, especially since I love science, but something most churches fail to comprehend is that the Bible was written at a time when those writing it were not as advanced scientifically; however, Moses ascends and sees the world is round. The heavens were "Stretched out" by God; astronomers have just this year found that the big bang created "stretch marks" at the center of the universe. Most people, Christians included, think Genesis is the only spot in the Bible that talks about the Earth's creation; it's not. There are some interesting consistencies with science that both Christians and scientists fail to see.
I don't know why I went off on the tangent, but I originally just wanted to let you know there are no angry comments from "real Christians" (I know, the "real scotsman" argument), but as I said, if they leave angry comments they don't get the point. Perhaps they get angry because they're confused and question what they believe.
Regardless of your faith, theology, or philosophy, may your steps find you happiness and keep you true to yourself.
Lethivant I know, there's an "inconsistency" with my saying those who've written the Bible not being as technologically sound as we are currently. My answer to that is this: Although God may have put it in their minds and influenced their writing, they may not have listened (either because of social stigmas, personal views conflicting with that of which God may have been telling them, etc.). Have you ever had an idea for a paper that you needed to write and, when you were finished, the paper didn't quite turn out the way you wanted it to? That's kind of how I see some of the stuff within the Bible.
This is the best song for inspiration! It moves me to tears and inspires me and gives me courage all at the same time
