• Anonymous Thank you so much for writing that, you see right at this moment I am in Florida and my older brother is in California in the ICU, it looking like this might just be it for him and the Lord is going to take him home, but it was a nice reminder to know that God is the one who gives us strength during our weakness and right now I feel very weak. Please pray for our family and for my brother John if it's his time let the Lord give us peace to say Goodbye and if it's not let the Lord help him to recovery. I have come to realize God will get the glory not matter what happens. Thanks for reading this.

• Mona Steven Curtis Chapman wrote the song that uses these words,
  "His strength is perfect, when our strength is gone. He'll carry us when we can't carry on. Raised in His power the weak become strong. His strength is perfect, His strength is perfect."
  (I can hear you guys doing this song btw!)
  Rest Lee, Mike, Jake,Jack, & Matt - knowing that the alto lady in the SOULFEST choir is always interceding for you with the Savior.
  In Him, Mona
• Mayra thank for the post! you actually will see me soon bc i will be at aquire the fire this weekend! =)
• Anna Thank you for inspiring text! It made me realise that I definitely need more time with Jesus and time to rest in Him. I've been so tired and worn out lately...Btw your music is refreshing, and it brings me closer to His presence, so thank you all! Keep playing and praising the Lord!
  
  Be blessed :)
  
  P.S. Would you come in Finland some day?
• cleo Hey brothers, it is true, we need to rest in God. This is the secret. Being in his arms and receive the love of Jesus. Jesus is the source, he is the inspiration. He is the reason for our song. May God bless you more and more. Stay in Him. May you are full of sweet presence of the Holy Spirit every day. In the love of the Father. Love you brothers.
• Christopher Thanks so much for your encouragement! I think resting in His peace is a necessary part of nor growing weary in doing good.
• Anonymous This blog is awesome! I love this about God, being in His love like resting, it's something in my own life that God wants me to know. It's hard for me to do that a lot of the time, like to know that it's not about me and what I do, and especially when i have hard stuff going on. but i know He really wants to break all that stuff down! i really admire you guys and what you do, i was so pumped to meet you in plymouth last month! keep being awesome, and writing heaven sent songs! all my love, ~Lydia
• Anonymous this is so cool, i love that about Jesus!! like already being good enough and resting in Him. That is what I need in my life right now.Its cool because its the same message I've been hearing! Its hard for me to not feel like its about me and what I do, and its hard when i'm not doing so great, but i know God wants to break that down! Thank you for this blog! I really really admire you guys. Its so refreshing to hear the truth of Jesus like that! I was pumped to meet you guys in plymouth last month. like I really am inspired, reading your blogs and just seeing what you guys are doing is like a breath of fresh air! all my love,~Lydia
• amanda fawn thanks for the wee reminder =]
• barethecross85 I totally agree, getting lost in worship is so amazing. God is still working among the youth of this world and I pray that this next album carries a greater anointing than anything you guys have ever done. To reach and minister to more people with the awesome news of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Thank you guys for allowing God to use and minister through you, you guys are a true blessing! God Bless
• Tay Thank you for the words of wisdom, Lee! :]
• Julie Hey Leeland, I am familiar with the love that you took the time to experience. That love from Jesus is always there for us, always just as strong. It depends on us and how in tune we are to be able to feel it. How we receive it is up to us. It is so hard sometimes to stand still. Life can be so demanding of us. It's sad, and surely saddens God when we are out of touch. I thank God for our weaknesses to bring us back to the presence of Him. Your right, we need to find time every day to spend time with God. I pray for you all while you are writing new songs. I pray for your stillness and rest as He fills your songs with new messages of love, hope, joy and grace for all of us to hear. I am so thankful that you use the gift God has blessed you with to reach the world. Imagine if everybody was that unselfish. It would be like heaven. I pray for all of us that attend your shows and hear you songs, I pray that God's love is received by all. Thanks so very much for sharing your gift.
  
  Bless you all,
  Julie Andrez, MI
• Princess Samantha That's so great! Sometimes the best worship times are when you're alone, away from others, so it's just you and God, and no one else to distract you. We all need that.
• GcbGirl That's awesome! :) Last week in GCB was really cool. we sang a song (I'm not sure what it was called) and the lyrics went something like, "I want to live for you, go where you need me! I wanna follow you..." "I will go, I will go, I will go Lord send me to the world, to the lost, to the poor and hungry..." and it was so awesome!!!! God just spoke to me once again... as I get older I want to be involved in going on missionary trips and being an intern at Capital, so that song was so great to sing. Ever since new years night God has spoken to me... It's so great how amazing he is!!!!
  
  God Bless Leeland!

• margaret AMEN, AMEN, AMEN!!!!!!!! Taking time for Him and for yourself, family and each other (if you have a mate or are married) is the biggest message that God has been sending to my house. I'm so thankful that we have such a loving and faithful God. Prayers and love and God's blessings are always prayed upon you. Can't wait for the new music.

• Rejina Hey Leeland,
  Wow! I just wanted to say that I was at the concert the other night that you guys did in Memphis at Hope Church, and I was SO moved that night. God really spoke to me that night, and He is speaking to me more and more since then. I jsut want to thank all of you so much for the message that you shared. It helped me SO, SO much. When I came to the concert, I felt so distant from God. I felt like I was losing sight of what is really important, and that I was losing my focus on God, and when I came to concert, and I heard your message, it helped me so much. I just want to thank all of you so much. Please keep on singing and sharing God's Word and Love. And thank you again.
  
  Luv,
  INC (In the Name of Christ),

• Joanne Dear disciples,
  You are truely disciples of Jesus. I am a mother, and a grandmother who loves The Lord our God with all of my heart. The first song that I heard by your band was "The Opposite Way", and it made me wish that I'd given my life to Jesus when I was young. You probably hear that a lot. You are a very special group of young men. I'm very sure that God would be saying"Well done, My good and faithful sons". I will continue to pray that through you all, many will come to Jesus,and live a wonderful eternity with Him and our Father in heaven.
  God Bless You
• noe wow..really only true God there is a break .... and only through Christ we can feel it ....
