2:15 The description of the rocks flying and of Mother Mary crying always hits me. I can't help but cry when I hear this line. Whenever I have trouble fasting I listen to this song and it helps me fast. God bless you guys for this track. 🙏
I just discovered this band yesterday, I love it and although it’s never been part of my culture before coming back To Christ I’ve always had friends into this that I sometimes witness to (when they are open to it) I can now recommend good music with a Christ centered belief for them to listen to!
I met Matt at a show in Toronto Canada. Forget exactly the date. I ended up walking through the wrong doorway. I walked right into where the bands were. They were doing a show with Stray From The Path. I obviously surprised some people and I was pretty shocked myself. There were some guys that were not too happy about it. I apologized and went to leave. Matt stood up and came over to talk to me. He was very friendly and we took a picture together and I left. I was so grateful that Matt did what he did. He was friendly to a stranger who was in a position where he would have been justified in being aggressive and he approached the situation with compassion. It was a genuine mistake and I didn’t know where I was going. I felt embarrassed and awful for intruding. I never got a chance to say thank you for showing me humility and allowing me to leave with the sense of fait that we crossed paths. I love your music still. It resonates with me on many levels and I thought people should know that you walk the walk with your faith and I will always remember you as a kind, caring, compassionate man. Thanks Mattie!!
God sees you keep fighting Soldiers Of God!!!!!!! God Loves you and blesses you!!!!!!! He will never stop loving you and He will never take His blessings away!!!!!!!
Idk where to start with this, so im just going to have at it. Everyone who reads this, I'm thankful for. It'd be great if the band would see this as well. Anyways, (there's a lot to this btw so ima try and shorten it) about a few years ago. I kept saying to myself I feel dirty inside, no matter how much id clean and be clean in everything is do. I just kept feeling tainted and dirty. I wanted away from it. I really didn't like the feeling and thought of it. Toothpaste and mouthwash couldn't cleanse and purify the feeling I had. Nothing could. The thought kept getting bigger and worse, but soon I realized it was coming from the heart. This feeling. During this, something crossed my mind; a scene in a "horror movie". The scene had a guy, guessing extremely OCD and germaphobic. To the point to where he would bag his bag of chips and put them in a tub in a tub pretty much (as an example) and so on. So forth. Well somehow roaches got into one of the chip bags and guy realized it after he ate a few. So he started panicking, hyperventilating, going into shock, etc. the "killer" showed up and convinced dude to drink some kind of cleaning agent so sanitize his system (the roaches n chips thing). . . Even something like that situation couldn't clean the dirty I was feeling. Ever since I got baptized, asked for forgiveness, and am making my way back to God. I haven't had the feeling or thought any more. "Bitter Roots". Interesting.
Dear Jesus Christ, thank You for believing in my sobriety and loving through all my depth of sin and my mother and her illness of soul and this world and that the VanWiemeerssch family is a pinnacle of God’s Love.
It is impossible to get too much of this song. This should be the official battle anthem of the Christian church. The believer has nothing to fear in the devil because our victory has already been won.
