NT Wright Quote Eberhard Arnold Eberhard Arnold 1933
bus
NT (Tom) Wright:
"The Jordan valley, just north of the Dead Sea, is the lowest point on the face of the earth: it's 1200FT BELOW SEA LEVEL. If you want to get any lower than that, you'd have to dig."
bus Eberhard Arnold - June 1934 "And finally let us ask that we all without distinction be given the gift promised to all members of the body of Christ- the highest of gifts, which is Love; that is to say, we ask for the gift of the Holy Spirit."
bus Eberhard Arnold- 1933
“There has hardly ever been a time when it was as evident as it is today that God and His righteousness and love do not yet rule. We see it in our own lives and in current events. We see it in the fate of the hopeless, the millions upon millions of unemployed. We see it in the unjust distribution of goods though the earth offers unstintingly its fertility and all its potentials."

Thank you Jason and team for always portraying a real God and a real relationship that we can have with him. Your music and words have inspired me to dig deeper in my own walk and relationship with him through music and singing!

Never before have I been so powerfully moved but by your songs. Your music has such an Annointing that it drenches me with the love of Christ. I am amazed by your choice of words and the freedom that flows out of your songs from your soul. May God richly bless you.

I am so glad at last i found someone out there who love the song by Bryan "Daddy, will you dance with me?" I have been looking for the song for a long time. I heard it once over God TV and it really speak to me. Can you please record the song (if it has not been recorded), and could you post it on you tube or the internet and let us know how to get it! This is more than an amazing song.

Jason and all the team: I just came home from one of your concerts and I really wanted you to know how much of a blessing you have been to my life in the last 15 mos. I had been in a great sense of hopelessness and lost a lot of weight and Drs. really could find nothing wrong. I began to listen to your music and your love of God the Father begin to open my heart to see God in ways I never knew. I took you to work on my I-pod and at night I would go to bed with your music and your heart of love has now become my heart of love to others and never doubt that you are not reaching a dying world because I am now living proof of that. I love your ministry and love your music. Thanks for keeping me in the Father's arms as He pulled me out of dark place. Much love in Christ.

I too have been trying to get the song Bryan sang about his daughter. The Lord used that song to speak something very important into my heart and I would love to hear it again. Please tell me how to hear it once more. Thanks, and God bless.

2 years ago you were in Edmonton, AB (Canada). Bryan (I think) sang a song that he had just wrote about his little girl. The chorus went something like this: Daddy will you please dance with me, Daddy will you please hold my hand.... until you give me to another man. has this been recorded? how can i get it? or how can I least get the words. this song pierced and spoke right into my very spirit...

Dear Jason and Band,
Hello from deep dark Europe. We send our thanks for your music. In our prayer room we listen to Healing and Mighty River. I remember one time getting Hailey's song and just playing it over and over. "a miracle that only YOU can do" Father. Sending thanks for letting Jesus speak out His great heart for the broken and lonely...for all of us waiting for Him to come.

Dear Jason, You were a total blessing, again, at the MorningStar New Year Conference. I have found myself singing the song you sang "lay your burdens down" the past day or so. I didn't realize at the time how much I needed that message. Keep pressing on!

Hi Jason,
Thank you to you and your "band" for your hearts toward our Lord, and allowing Him to use you as he does. Your songs/music touch me to the depths of my soul. As only He can do. God's Blessings to you.

Dear Jason,
I recently began listening to your new music. I found out today that my sisters fiance was killed in an accident. Your music has touched my heart. My sister is struggling and mad at God right now. I don't know what to say.... my heart aches for her. Your songs they speak for me.

Dear Jason,
You have done it again. Or should I say the holy spirit has done it again through you? Every one of your cds speaks to me in whatever season I am in my walk with the Lord. Thank you so much for your obedience. Thank you so much for becoming less.
To God be the Glory

We have a gathering of the prayer ministers who heal the sick of soul and body in Denver - www.denverhealingconnection.com . It is over 60 churches and healing rooms and healing ministers who faithfully bring the Healer to the lost and found. When we have our city conference would love for you to be our worship leader !!!

Hey, Jason and the band, still feeling much blessed after hearing your amazing worship music, at our Church, Derby Community Church, Riverside Centre a couple of days ago. You have inspired me, to continue singing for the Lord as a solo worship singer as he leads me, . God bless you all, and your families. Always. And It was great to chat with you in person, regarding the Lord speaking through my daugher when she was only 11 years old!

Hey Mr. Upton!
It's been a long time since i've seen you! I saw you at Teen Mania Ministries last year, and that was the first time i'd ever really heard and listened to the music that the Lord has given you.
Although i've never met you in person, I really admire you a lot. I'm friends with Carol and Gene Beard (who you already know). I'm from England, and now i'm back in Nottingham I hope to be there in Derby on tuesday.
May the Lord continue to bless you!

Jason, God's timing is so perfect. Saturday 6pm I came to know the name Jason Upton and was drawn by the spirit to follow up on your ministry. Within minutes I discovered that at that very time you were in Edmonton (2 hours from me). Initially, I was crushed that I was so close to being there, but not able to. So I downloaded the new album off itunes and listened to it for hours (trying not to wake our 3 little ones from sleeping) God said to me, "Jason Upton has brought my spirit of revival to Edmonton, and I want you to worship by that same spirit of freedom. You don't have to be in Edmonton at the gathering because my spirit is with you right here, right now." I don't think I slept all night, I worshiped and prayed for you and your ministry and team and your travel and your family.
I can say with certainty that I will never be the same.

Jason where can I get your song "The cross,the cross is always ready. I love that song. I saw you guys once in baltimore ,md and once in new york, you played it at the baltimore show. Thank you for the inspiration, and thank you proclaiming Jesus as king! See you in April ,in Fredrick.

Jason, your music is such an inspiration, and it touches the very existence of human nature and the battle within ourselves. I am so blessed to hear you, and as the holy spirit continues to move threw you and the music I claim that you will touch every person saved or not that will minister to them in a way that you have inspired many. As well, the power of the holy spirit would impact them as you are a vessel for our Lords glory. I do have a request, I live near San Francisco Ca. and it would be so awsome if you would enter into the arena and challenge this bay area of some hope. Bless you jason.

Thanx for Your service, Jason & team! Songs like "Fly" (on the Remember-album) & some other from You blessed me enormously.
On 1200 Ft. I think "Justice waiting" & "The world is wide open" are outstanding examples for a highly inspired worship in spirit & truth, combined with intercession.
Very much greetings from Germany - come to us soon! Be blessed well!!

I thank the Lord every time I listen to your music. But never forget, this Music is from our Lord Jesus brought to us through the Holy Spirit through GRACE. All that the Lord is looking for are humble people like Jason and his Band.
Jason & Band : Stay humble so the Holy Spirit can inspire you and send us more of this blessing music.
I pray for you and I`m looking forward to meet you in Schiphol, NL.
Peace in Christ

Dear Jason,
We are really looking forward to see you in Zwolle in Holland! We are longing for true worship. Not a concert but that we will really seek the Fathers heart. I totally agree with you there is unfortunately too much religion in the church. We need to repent of that. Because it keeps us away from the things Father wants to give us. And that is to know His heart We pray that the Holy spirit will lead you and give you the wisdom you need! God bless you!
Lots of love from Holland

Dear Jason Upton,
i have an inquiry. I am a student at International Bible College in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan Canada. I am the drama leader at our small college, and we do dramas and other ministries every now and again at the churches affiliated with our colleges denomination. We simply go to the churches that have helped keep our school running. We are truly a small college. This semester we only have 11 students, it is truly by the love of the churches and God working through them that we stay open.
So, i have written all of this hoping you will read these comments and will consider a request. i was listening to The World Is Wide open and was listening to the beginning which was on your "faith" CD and always loved and typed the words down and wrote some more to it keeping in mind it being a monologue. So i was wondering if you would allow me the permission to use the first part of World Wide open for a monologue to minister to the churches in Western Church of God. ummmm.... my email address is: sweetgurl_2009@hotmail.com and i can let you know more if you are interested at all, if not, i understand. So please contact me when you can and then i can send you the copy of the monologue with the words if you want to read through it. God bless and hope to hear from you.

I gave my life to Jesus two years ago,and shortly after found Jason Upton'm music through friends.I love that he walks in such amazing humility,and have loved every album of his so far.
It has brought new light and life into my walk with God,and constantly the Lord speaks to me through one of his songs.
The new album is beautifull,and the track where the old gentleman prayed for marriages,and blessed evryone,had both me and a new found love in tears.Praise the Lord!!!........you are truly abundently blessed

I have been loving and following Jason's ministry. I saw him and his band .On Oct 2nd. I got the new cd. One thing I can say he's a true worshiper and He's not ashamed of spreading the word of God. Being a Bass guitar player myself. I find his music just awesome and nice to play and learn. His songs just minster to me all the time.

I heard "Faith" by Jason and i must admit that i broke down into tears. I really feel the presence of God through his ministry and I want you to know that God can really use are times of hurt to draw us closer to Him. I am going through my own trial at this time and but i want everyone to know that God can turn around any sitauation and use it for the good of those who love Him. I pray that God will continue to bless your ministry Jason and I want to thank you for being the man God has called you to be.

hello from london,
thank you for your heart that is free enough and brave enough to take us into God. i've been on a road w/the Spirit for 30 yrs and in 2004 your song "freedom" helped me to stand when all around seemed crushing and oppressive. my husband and i chose "i will wait" as our theme song on sabbatical that year and the unpredictable Jesus sent us overseas. HE IS WORTH IT ALL!! Thank you. Keep going with joy.

I Just want to thank all of you...Jason and the others who minister with you. I have been going through a really rough time lately and have been calling out to God and I find that the music and lyrics that you sing (which is really prayer) help me to know that I am not alone. The things you say are like a cool drink of water in the desert. I don't have money to buy your cds. but I listen over and over to the music you play on your website. I wanted to thank you for that. So many others don't make their ministry available without a purchase. Thank you soooo much, you guys. Please pray for me. God bless you

Both soul, spirit and body respond to the immense power of the Father that's transported through your songs Jason (and team). Thanks for not walking away from your calling in the kingdom. I know I'm born again, but your songs are one of the sources by which I feel being born again more and more every minute. I see a new generation of sons and daughters who are not only inspired and full of the knowledge of God, but also breathing out this: dead to the world, alive to Christ! Let it come, let it come, let Your kingdom come. The deep is calling out to the deep: Father, Father, Father! Thanks again for learning me about the deep truth of the Spirit of Adoption.
