1200 FT BELOW SEA LEVEL

Home title

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.
 
There is urgent work that must be done to help humankind, but it is obstructed and destroyed by the injustice of the present world systems.  We are in the midst of a collapse of civilization.  Civilization is nothing but humankind’s orderly work in nature.  And this work has turned into a disorder whose injustice cries out to heaven. 

There are hundreds of signs that something is about to happen.  Nothing in history takes place, however, unless it comes from God.  So our plea to Him now is that He make history, His history, the history of His righteousness.  And when God makes His history, we all have every reason to tremble.  For as matters stand today, He can do nothing unless His wrath first sweeps over all the injustice and love-less-ness, all the discord and brutality, that rule the world.  His wrath will be the beginning of His history.  First must come the day of judgment:  then the day of joy, of love, grace and justice can dawn.

But if we ask God to intervene, we must bare our own breasts before Him so that His lightning can strike us, for we are all guilty.  There is no one who is not guilty of the wickedness in today’s world.”

Thank you for reaching out to me through song when I had a hard time being quiet to hear God's voice! God spoke to me through your music. I let go of the strongest man I ever knew 8 days ago, my Dad. I must now reach out to my Heavely Father to provide me with his Love, Peace and Comfort. (It aint easy) spoke to me along with all of your other arrangements as well. God Bless you and your ministry!

I hope these words reach you Jason. Youre music is the biggest inspiration of my life right now, and drives me to follow God more. Your music pulls me from my seat, and sends me out playing music on the streets. Every song is powerful, and digs deep where most dont.
May god keep you fresh,
May god keep you strong.

Jason, I want to share with you...my nephew spent 5 yrs in the special op's forces in the US army. He went through a lot and was very confused spiritualy. He was discharged, honorably last wk and after coming home was ministered to by his brothers and sisters and mother. On the fifth day he spent the day talking of Jesus with his mother and at the end of the day she played for him "This World is Wide Open". This song touched him so deeply he responded to God and was saved. Three hrs later, SGT Robert Thomas Neary, 1st Battalion (Airborne) 503D Infantry ARMY/RANGER, or as we know him, Robbie, was killed in a car accident. I thank God for this beautiful young man and I thank God for you. Stay in the Lord, can't wait to meet in Heaven

Jason and the Band,
I work in children's ministry. I have heard you say you are working on a kid's project. I'm wondering when that will be released? My 3 & 8 year old daughters love your music!
May God bless you and your families!

I will have to say WOW, can't stop listening to 1200 FT below sea level. This is a new worship experience and I am very taken by such worship. It is bringing a new dawn of worship to our South African grounds and is also affecting us the Black Community. Jason, we appreciate you here in South Africa.

YOUR PROPHETIC WORSHIP INTERCESSION IS SO APPRECIATED AT THIS TIME. OUR NEW ASSIGNMENTS ARE COMING IN HIS TIMING ALONG WITH A NEW SOUND. I HEARD THE OTHER DAY AS I WAS PRAYING A PHRASE FROM YOUR SONG "KILL THE GIANTS" THAT CAME UP FOR A CERTAIN PURPOSE. FORRUNNERS HAVE A LONELY BUT GREAT MISSION. THEY HEAR FIRST, LEARN TO TRUST HIM AND HAVE THE COURAGE AND FAITH TO FOLLOW THE HOLY SPIRIT AND START WORSHIPING AND PROCLAIMING WHAT HE HAS TOLD THEM. BREAKING OPEN THE ATMOSPHERE SO THE REST OF US CAN MOVE FORWARD ALSO. IT IS NOT EASY SOMETIMES THERE ARE YEARS BEFORE THE TIMING IS RIGHT FOR THAT WORD TO BE MADE MANIFEST. SOMETIMES YOU THINK BECAUSE OF THE TIMING YOU DID NOT HEAR CORRECTLY BUT LIKE ISAIAH DECLARED BEFORHAND JESUS CAME. WITHOUT THE PROMPTING OF THE HOLY SPIRIT TO SPEAK THROUGH ISAIAH AND ISAIAH'S FAITH AND TRUST IN THE LORD JESUS TO PROCLAIM IT, JESUS WOULD NOT HAVE COME. JESUS IS COMING AGAIN AN AND YOU AND YOUR BAND ARE POINTING THE WAY. MAY GOD GIVE YOU THE CONFIDENCE TO KNOW YOU ARE LISTENING TO HIS VOICE YOU ARE PRACTICING PSALM 86 VERSE ELEVEN. BECAUSE OF YOUR FRUIT I KNOW YOU ARE . AS THE LORD LEADS I DO PRAY FOR YOUR BAND FAMILY MINISTRY SO KNOW THAT GOD HAS SENT WATCHMEN AROUND THE WORLD TO KEEP YOU PROTECTED AND SAFE IN YOUR MISSION. BLESS YOU

I have seen you twice now once a long time ago in San Fransisico and once just last summer in Fresno!!! I have spread your music to my friends and others and I hope that you will continue to spread your gift!!! The Lord has truely blessed you and I thank you from the bottom of my heart because your words have lifted me up from the darkness! Even when I haven't been chasing after the Lord with full force I feel close to him through your music! Thank you!

Awesome, awesome, awesome! An annointed Man of God. I heard you for the first time this weekend at the Woman of Vision conference in Irvine, CA. You took us right to the throne of the Most High God! You and your family are blessed. Continue to let God use you in a mighty way and bless your accompanying band. They are an inspiration as well. Stay in His blessings!

but your words cut right to the bone..

the truth hurts but it will set you free
i wish we could talk more,i wish we could pray together,
make music to touch the heart of God..

Jason & band - I second Jamie B's comment below. Thanks so much for ministering in Orchard Park and at my home church, Tree of Life, in Lancaster, NY this past weekend. And Jason, sharing your heart as you hear the Father's voice is true ministry to the sons & daughters of the Living God. We didn't get a chance to talk as I had hoped, but I just wanted to say I truly appreciate what I've been able to see of your love relationship with our Lord Jesus. He has used it to inspire me and keep my feet on the path He has ordained for my life as well. The fruitfulness of your ministry has been extended through our dance & worship teams and even in one of our sermons as we've quoted what the Spirit gave you in your songs. You are loved as a man of God and as a brother and joint-heir with Christ. Blessings to all in this team. Praying for you...

I would like to thank you and your band for taking a back seat to the truth and the love of God in your ministry. your worship has literally been like a doorway for me to truly step into real intimacy with Jesus. I dont say that lightly, and thank the Father for the amazing abilities he has given all of you, which I believe are tools that are opening up the worlds eyes to real relationship with a God who desires nothing less. I believe your ministry is like a lighthouse in the darkness, drawing people to the shore of Gods grace, and pulling them deeper into faith. that is what it has been in my life, and I thank our amazing Father for what he is doing in you all. please know that my family and I are praying for all of you! blessings of wisdom and mercy!

One Step away has left me sensitive and vulnerable to the spirit of God. Thank you for your obedience to minister the heart of God, as it is penetrating the hearts of His people. To Him be all the glory, and know that you have pure vessels lifting you up in prayer

Hi everyone. Because we don't think about future generations, they will never forget us. Help me! I find sites on the topic: Luggage sizes, discount air fares to europe, when to buy cheap airline tickets.. I found only this - [url="http://cheapest-tickets.us/"]Airli ne Tickets[/url]. Find the cheapest flights and airline ticket prices on bookingbuddy. With asda travel, it is all about choice at superb value prices. Waiting for a reply :-), Chen from Slovenia.

Badly need your help. For most men life is a search for the proper manila envelope in which to get themselves filed.
I am from Djibouti and now study English, give true I wrote the following sentence: "Redirected from airline tickets jump to - navigation, search besides simply obtaining airline tickets from travel agencies, online or at the."
Thanks :D. Zachary.

Just wanted to add my thank you! I found your CD "BeautifulPeople" randomly at a store over 1 year ago and it quickly has become one of my favorites of all time. I was attracted by the title and the photo on the cover, but once I heard your music for the 1st time I knew I was being blessed. God, by His Holy Spirit, touched my soul through your music and I want to thank you for allowing me to share in your worship.
