It really has been one of those days. I prayed and asked God to bring me closer to Him, and to break down all my idols, and to make me pure in heart, and to show me He is truly all I have....and He is doing that. Thanks so much for this video. You never know just who is going to watch it and however small it may seem, it helps those who are struggling in this race to finish....with their eyes fixed on Jesus. Hebrews 12:2 Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith...
Dude! This was incredible, brother. I was absolutely in tears. Jesus is so good. I love the part where it appears that he has lost his grip on the cross and is being taken away by the darkness but Jesus had his hand the whole time. Awesome, awesome awesome! Blessings!
This is so beautiful. The story, concept, art work and emotional dynamic all enhance the lyrics. It is heart wrenching. A story very close to my heart. Thank you so much for sharing.
I'm glad i found this video as a young Christian adult I know im letting the lord down by constantly turning my head back to see what I'm missing in the world but this video helped to remind me that I need to keep Christ as my main focus and to stand firm in my beliefs
Thanks for this man, I've been struggling with doubt for weeks, I felt a calling on my life to be a pastor, and I've had to go to a secular college for a semester before I can change colleges and I've been really alone and had difficult nights of doubt and fear, and this is a real comfort to me, and reminder that I'm not the only one struggling and also that Christ will always shine true in the end.
when my wife and I had our first son pass away, Jesus was the Only thing that held us together...... and He blessed us with two more wonderful sons! Jesus - my Rock-N-Role model!
I have accepted Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior this summer and got baptized last month. This video wants me to get closer to him, Thank you for posting this video.
Thank you so much for taking the time to do this. I'm one of those people (that you mentioned in the description) that is struggling with the fight of faith =p And when the Bible went blank, I was like "dude I feel exactly like that!" it's sooooo miserable to feel faithless and struck down....but we're not abandoned nor destroyed, no matter how we feel. And this video encouraged me in that so thanks! =]
Hey Bro Can I borrow this video? I just want to add a wonderful that fits this video. I hope you would let me I would share this video in our youth service next friday, God Bless.
@carlou08lamberte Yes, feel free to use this video. Just please don't change anything about the message etc. (like putting it to some random song that has nothing to do with Christ)
How often it is that we find it hard to believe in Christ. He never stops believing in us.
Dear Lord, for those watching this video, help us to understand that though our own faith may waver, you are constantly as steadfast and true as ever. Your existence, truth and power are not shaken by the words of atheists or men professing to be wise in their own eyes. You don't need defending by anyone. May you renew those of us who are struggling. (Isaiah 42:3). Please rekindle the smoking flaxes Lord.
i love my lord jesus christ and when he was covered with the black and had his hand on the cross and he let go i was like :O Jesus grab him and i said that and then boom he grabs him and i was like :D ya and i just wanna say thank you lord Jesus he died for us so we can live forever keep your faiths strong and god knows are hearts even if we hide i mean he herd Jonahs prayers from inside the whales belly Jesus loves you all :] and i love you guys stay strong brothers and peace be with you
I am mesmerized. I was in tears for about an hour watching this. I have felt incredibly lonely for the past few days and so detached from God, even when I search Him out. I'm just reminded that, ultimately, with God, everything will be alright. Everything will work according to His time and not mine. He knows what He's doing and that's good enough for me. Praise God for this video and for your gift. You've made a real difference. :)
@sefsup05 That is awesome...He is so faithful to us........stay strong in Him, look to Him and WAIT on Him (Psalm 62:5-8) He won't leave us to be put to shame.
I can really connect with the art and the song. very powerful! But praise God cos when we try, when we prove that we want to love Him, that we want to know Him, He will come in an amazing way (maybe through a Bible verse, or the words of a friend). But I had 3 years of struggling every day to find God. I tried every day. But He came. It's just a piece of encouragement to all those who've been through the same stuff. He's still with me, very strongly now, more every day. Persevere and God bless!

Oh man, I love this video! It's all about Ephesians 6! That part when the guy wheres the armor of God after Jesus pulls him back gives me goose bumps! ugh, I want to feel that way over sin! This video relates to my walk with Christ so much. I tend to have this back and forth relationship with God, partly cuz of legalism always getting in the way. I have a hard time distinguishing what is of the Spirit and what is of the bondage of Law. This video really helps me see clearly....
wow. this gives me goosebumps everytime!!!!!! are you gonna make more??! PLEASE DOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! you are very talented, God has given you a great gift.
Thank you so much for posting this. Tonight I felt incredibly alone in this struggle. I've been on mission trips, I've seen God do beautiful things, and still, doubts have caught up to me.
This reminded me of what I know- that he is the only truth, and I must keep faith. I simply must. thank you again. It's incredible how God can use things like youtube videos to pursue us, even when I feel completely unworthy of being pursued.
@Snakesssss Praise God! That is so awesome to hear. He knows the hearts of His children - and He knows that we are weak. He will use any means necessary to remind us that in our weakness, brokenness and hopelessness - HE is strong, HE is present, and HE is faithful. Take a look at 1 Thesselonians 5:23-24, especially verse 24.
they played that song during worship at my church this past sunday while this video played in the background.
...it's been a while since i've cried over anything spiritual. i'd sorta taken a few months away from church and god, and i can honestly say i feel like the character in the video.
Thanks for this video, it really made me think a lot. I've been going through some tough times. I have to realize how Christ was there all a long. Yes, God is telling me to stand firm and live for the Gospel. I hope God may bless you and use you as a vessel to bless more people.
I felt this "something" since two month ago but for me the song has ended, I still have to continue my walk with Christ but I know he's here with me even if I don't always feel his presence. I tried all my keys at the lock, God gently and lovingly chided, "My child you didn't knock".
just 'happened' to stumble accross this video (great job by the way) and yeh im struggling pretty badly at the moment with doubt that im not saved and your video catches it perfectly. thanks for posting God bless
Thanks For the encouragement AJ! Please keep up the awesome work for God! Some day I have no doubt you'll will see how awesome it is you have done this! How many Lives you have helped to be healed and kept from going over the edge! Let Gods love and Gift continue to pour through you.
Todd, thanks for the kind words. I do make them myself - its a good style to make videos on no budget! And they can't be purchased because I don't own the song rights (it's by the band Starfield). However, there are a lot of ways to download videos from youtube - Starfield said they didn't mind if this was shared, as long as it is not sold.
Man these videos are amazing. You have been blessed with an amazing talent. Keep them coming and keep glorifying God. You are in my prayers.
