Hey guys,
I have a new single that’s going out to radio stations, and I’m really excited about it. It will be available in a few weeks on iTunes on the new “Heaven & Earth-Expanded Edition” The “Expanded Edition” will only be available on iTunes and it will have four new tracks including a remix of “Eden”. Here’s the story behind the new single:
I am 20 years old. Last summer I made a lot of mistakes and have had to deal with the consequences for the past year. I have contemplated suicide many times. Tonight I was sitting in my car, once again thinking that death was my only way out. I turned on the radio and your song was on. For the first time in months I remembered that God will carry me through this. He has suffered through this with me and He will get me to what He has for me. God spoke to me tonight through your song. I’m alive because of God’s work in you. Tonight I can say, Christ lives in me.
Hi Amy … Joseph Prince wrote this … I hope it blesses you.
“I remember going through a terrible time of depression when I was 18 years old. Believing that I was demon-possessed, I sought out a great man of God to have him cast the devil out of me. But when this man of God laid hands on me, he began to prophesy over me. He said, “Joe, I see you preaching to thousands and used by God to impact thousands of lives. Joe, you are called by God and the devil is attempting to stop you.”
“What? I came here for deliverance! I am only interested in saving my own life, not preaching nor impacting lives,” I thought to myself then.
You see, what happened was that at that moment, God allowed this man to step into the timeless zone He exists in to bring my future before me. As far as God was concerned, my future had already happened, though I was only 18 years old then. Today, I am a pastor of a church which has more than 19,000 members. Today, I am seeing what was told to me long ago.
God does not see as we see. Abraham was a childless, 100-year-old man. His wife, Sarah, at 90 years old, was doubly dead in her womb. (Genesis 17:17) Yet, God saw him and talked to him as if he were already the father of many nations.
My friend, God wants you to see the way He sees. Right now, you may see yourself going through a trial in your marriage, work, finances or health. But God sees a blessed marriage, success at work, supernatural increase in wealth and a healed body because He tells you that you are already blessed with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ.
You see, God sees you in Christ. So when you see yourself in Christ, who is outside time, you step into the timeless zone. In that timeless zone in Christ, whatever needs and trials of yours are already removed, repaired, restored or resurrected! In that timeless zone in Christ, you are already blessed with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places!”
God Bless Amy … he loves you so very much, and has plans for your life you couldn’t even dream of.

Wickham,
My husband and I were 7months pregnant with our 3rd child, first son, when we went to the Dr. to find out that there was no heartbeat. On August the 6th, we gave birth to our 2lb 11oz 13in beautiful baby boy. God carried us and we give Him the glory for taking care of our baby boy. I say all this to say, the very next morning I heard your song “In My LOve” on the radio while streaming my christian music in the hospital. God spoke VOLUMES to me through your song… I find my sefl sitting and resting in His love when I get sad and feel that everything is falling apart… Thank you for being obedient in writing what He lays on your heart!!! Keep up God’s work! And THANK YOU!!!! I can’t wait for the accompaniment track!
In Christ,
Leslie Smith
I forgot to mention that we burried him on that Sunday, but God had and has a plan, and He never fails!!!
Just want to say thank you for such a wonderful song. I was driving in Perth Australia (home is UK), just hired a car for my last couple of days on holiday, and I was hungry for a word from God. Turned on the radio and it tuned into a christian channel with your song playing. It was a direct hit to my heart and I found myself driving in rush hour traffic with tears pouring down my face, so grateful to God for his love and his mercy. Thank you for being a faithful servant to him, allowing him to speak to us all. God Bless.
p.s. any sign of you coming to the UK on tour?
