For Today - Talmidim (The Servants)

Probably the most inspirational thing I have ever heard in my life.


(Mattie's Speech: And through all of this, there is nothing, absolutely nothing, no fear, no insecurity, no doubt, no hesitation that will ever, ever stop us. Because we are the son of the living God. Because we are the children of the almighty. Because we are the residence of the kingdom of heaven and we are soldiers in an army of the immortal. And when we speak light, light happens. And when we speak healing, healing happens. And when we speak truth, truth happens. And when we go take what we found to a dead world, we will see it come to life again. When we take what we found to a hopeless world, we will see hope come back, we will see the hearts of our world start beating again and we will see the color come back in peoples faces and absolutely nothing will ever stop that and mountains will move before us and oceans will pour before us and the dead will raise before us and the world will know that our God is a God that heals, that our God is a God that lives, that are God is a God that loves unlike anyone has ever felt before because we are fearless, because we are his hand, because we are his feet, forever and ever...)

I have heard Mattie, the lead singer, speak four times now. Which also means I have seen the band, For Today, four times. Not only are they an amazing live band, but when Mattie begins his little speech, his dribble, it becomes a downpour. I have never felt so much passion in a man's voice before. If you like For Today and ever get the chance to go see them, DO IT! It might change your life forever. I know it did mine.
