I'm 57, and my adult children know Petra because that's what I used to play in my car when they were wee ones; late 90's thru early 2000's. And now my grandchildren get to listen to the BEST EVER Christian rock band whenever they ride with grandma.
I cant thank yu enuf John , I was listening to Petra before you came along & listened to you for years and years & the words and your singing changed my life , thank you for your input in my life , to the Glory of Our LORD !!!😊👍🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️
So blessed to see John still strong in ministry, we love you John and thank you for your ministry, been following you since i was a kid, with much love from Malaysia, Sabah. God Bless you John Schiltt and family.
What a fitting song for these days. It is war.But don't stop believing.Hint Hint. Thanks to Prtra,Whiteheart,DC Talk,Geoff Moore and the Distance,and many more Christian bands. And of course Jesus. My addiction to music has been joyessly wonderful. Keep on rocking in the FREE WORLD.
I am 42 years old, and Petra has been a part of my life for roughly 30 years. Hearing John sing still gives me goosebumps. I still have the Unseen Power CD that I bought way back when.
I'm 55 and I was not brought up in a church family and never listened to Christian music, but as a child of God, I really love Petra and John Schilt. I also like Skillet, Red, Reawaken Hymns. I used to like Michael W Smith, Amy Grant, but I'm not interested in them anymore. God bless everyone here.
John, I saw you with HEAD EAST, around 1975 at the Aragon ballroom in Chicago, just before my rededication to the Lord in 1976. I was so happy when I heard you joined Petra who I had been listening to since 1982. What a wailing voice of praise you have. God bless you for your Kingdom work. Tom.
I also think No Doubt is an unbelievably underrated album. It’s one of Petra’s best… probably their 3rd best album after Beyond Belief and Unseen Power. That’s my opinion anyway.
Amazing show. I love hearing you sing. I remember No Doubt. My dad and I would go home from church( he was the praise leader and I was the drummer) And we would listen to this song for 40 mins singing. By far one of the best father son times. It seems through these covid time its like a test. And it seems the faith of people are moving back and forth, myself included, But seems like we are gravitating to God and Christ His son, I struggle a lot and after watching this I feel a warmth over me that I haven't felt in a long time. God's warmth. Makng this human realize our purpose in life. Thank you so much again. Rock on!
John simply one of the best voices of my era, Head East or Petra. Steve Perry is actually my favorite vocalist but I have yet to have him sing praise music. Talent without eternity in mind is vanity.
John also sings with the Jay Sekulow band. They are by far my favorite band at still playing today they are just amazing. I hope they'll start touring again now got the plandemic is over
it ain't over till its over ... and it's not gonna get over soon ! always a joy to see my Favorite vocalist of all time still going strong and making a difference in the way i think and live. God Bless you Mr. Schlitt
I want you to know that Petra is my favorite band, and I identify with you.. Whenever I watch you, I pray for you, your voice..Today I asked God that you come back as a band, the music is very built, but the oil is missing.. My dream was to be able to attend the band one day, it was not possible yet, but I could see him here in Brazil, in Curitiba, Dom Bosco Teatro.. Also Michael Swit, another nice guy! When I sat down at my notebook this morning, my prayer before I even sat down was, `God grant my son's college tuition` don't let me fail that promise..` And then I see your video, Father's Day.. Incredible .. Your testimony has always reached me.
No doubt God blessed John so much after his return to God. And after everything is done we've found out, All we really need to have is no doubt. Lately my family fought a big battle and this song perfectly tells my emotions during that period. Glory be unto God.
The power may go out, the strings on every guitar broken, the slider on every mixer stuck, but there is one thing that works for certain, and that is the voice of John Schlitt.
Praise the LORD for You John, and Petra (Bob Hartman) too ... Although we have never met in person, you have had a major impact on my life... John you are one of the best vocalist in the world. So glad you are using your talent in the right way!!! I may not get to meet you on this side of eternity, sure hope I do, but if not I want to meet you in the Kingdom...
LOVED WATCHING THIS!!! This was such a BEAUTIFUL and ANOINTED worship service and messages with you!!! I love ALL of your music, including Petra and your solo career!!! You were and are still VERY talented and anointed up to this day!!! God has used you MIGHTILY through the years all the way up to today!!! He is still using you in MIGHTY ways!!! You truly are a MIGHTY man of God!!! I pray that Jesus continues to save, encourage, and bring people closer to the Lord through you!!! I pray Jesus continues to bless and anoint you, your wife, sons, daughters, grandsons, granddaughters, the rest of your family, your friends, your loved ones, the people you sing and minister with, and your MANY singing ministries!!! God bless EACH and EVERY one of you all and Jesus loves you all so, SO much that He sent His ONLY son to die an EXTREMELY PAINFUL, EXCRUCIATING, AGONIZING, AND TORTUROUS death on the cross for EACH and EVERY ONE of you all, PERSONALLY and INDIVIDUALLY!!! God has a PERFECT plan for each and every one of you all and He is working out EVERYTHING in you all's lives, good and bad, for you all's good, God's good, and the good of EVERYBODY INVOLVED!!! NEVER forget these sweet truths from God!!! Love, Stephen
I love the whole song that you sang your entire life..n I'm really impressed by you Sir.John..but what to do now I'm addicted by heroine drugs..I really wanna come out of this shit..I want to be like you Sir..love you from Nagaland India..
Hey John, as a fellow Christian and a Petra fan, thank you for putting out some of the BEST albums I ever heard. I do have a question tho… How was it meeting Greg Volz? And did you guys ever want to do a compilation together?
John for his age still has a lot of "firewood to burn", he's still doing very well, there was a slip in the lyrics of "Lovely Lord" but this song they hardly played at the shows, only on the Petra Praise 2 album tour released there in 1997 so it's normal because it's a song that the band almost didn't play, he slipped the lyrics (he deviated from rehearsing more 😀) I liked the band, the guys played very well the instrumental lines of the songs, John is a warrior of the Christian rock is one of the most active members of Petra is always doing something is solo career, something with band Petra or other projects, may God continue using his life John and his ministry, a hug from a brazilian fan and also brother in Christ
