i got his new "beautiful people" album and i love it!
my favorite is probably "son's and daughters" or "in your presence"

the verse in "sons and daughters" goes,
-every word sent down from heaven does not go back up until its succeded at what He sent it to do-

i was talking to Ben, my roommate, and he was telling me about this sermon he heard by this new zealand dude. the preacher man was talking about Job when God was asking Job where he was during his creation and what God was saying was "you where here". the guy was saying how he always thought God was mocking Job, but in one scripture Job 38:21 God says, "you were already born, you are really old!"
either God is mocking Job and being literal.
but God knew us before we were knit together in our mothers womb(jeremiah 1) "before you were born i set you apart as a prophet" . what does that mean? what is the possibility that our spirit existed before we got here? were we with God before we were born? i heard T.D Jakes talk about this once. i'm not sure if i believe it, but what if its true?
isaiah 49 - before i was born God called me.- Hu? how?

chorus is
-sons and daughters of the living God-

then he says
-did you know you're a word from heaven?
-did you know you're a child of God?
-all creation is growing
-in the midst of brother against brother, in the midst of the warfare, in the midst of the anger, blessed are the peacemakers for they shall be called sons and daughters of the living God

when i first heard this song, i just felt a peace come over me. i'm being quite literal.
when i heard it i felt a confidence that i really am God's son, and i have a lot of authority in the Spirit because of it. not just for signs and wonders (obviously - or not so obvious) but also the proximity to the throneroom i can go, because i am God's son. like the creator of the universe is my Dad and i have a unique relationship with him. like a son, a little boy with his dad just spending time together.
thats me and God!
