How Long by Petra

[obeb1000]

Hearing this song again after having it for probably 10 years on CD always moves me....yes, we ARE seeing His righteous hand in our nation - we only need to recognize the move of the Holy Spirit across our land, bringing souls into the Kingdom. Yes, there's more coming, but let's praise Him for what He is doing every day, saints!

[syllylou77]

Isn't it amazing how when our spirit cries out in need to understand instead of our egotistical flesh with it's wants He reaches down & gives us an answer so simple yet so profound. I've been having one of those times for several months.Today the Lord broke through & what you said was additional confirmation. Bless you for sharing it.

[62katharina]

[ukchristian28]

This is so wonderful!

[twhouser]

14 years ago I had a severe head injury, after 3 weeks of impossible pain I thanked God for my life and prayed to die, obviously I did not, the damage was significant there are things that I still cannot do and likely never will, I have no sense of smell.

A few years back I heard this, and toward the end it says: "How long before your fragrance fills the air?", I broke, realizing that I am bearing this burden of difficulty only for a time, it is not my destiny, I hope that this helps someone.

[ThePetrafan1]

@twhouser Amen

[MegaLovejay]

If the sin of our nation has you overwhelmed, the writer of this song felt the same way, How Long Lord will you tarry? How long must we wait for you?

[971QKE]

@aggradef "Stop judging, that you may not be judged. For as you judge, so will you be judged, and the measure with which you measure will be measured out to you. Why do you notice the splinter in your brother's eye, but do not perceive the wooden beam in your own eye? How can you say to your brother, 'Let me remove that splinter from your eye,' while the wooden beam is in your eye?"

-Matthew 7:1-4

[PUBSHAMROCKS]

JESUS IS THE WAY 2 THE FATHER.

[SuperTimebandit]

as long as someone believe there ´s hope for the world

[Mahal1Kita1]

He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus. Rev 22:20

[darizzle7]

Amen! Maranatha Lord Jesus Come Quickly we pray!

[gerald3707]

For the first time in a long time, a song that made me cry. I am huge Petra fan. I can't say which song is my fav. because I love them all. So thank you to the one that posted this one. I now have another song for my top list.

[PurifiedThroughGod]

Ja, hoe lang nog Heer?

[seenandnotheard]

cool song.

[burjack]

petra sinônimo de boa música, boa letra. Parabéns!

[santosh92]

the greatest chrisian band of all time

[lukedaines21]

You ask me how i know He lives.

He lives within my heart.

[DJPantanal2014]

God's love is everfaithful...everlasting !

[dr0dolittle0]

How Long must we wait until all eyes are opened and tongues are tamed, I have read the comments and have come to the conclusion that some of us are just here to argue bigboy-an oxymoron if I ever heard one-you aren't here to convince or be convinced so drop it and let us fans of the song listen in peace without having to read your negative comments...How Long must this earth survive and allow fools to rule...?

[dutchmcgee101]

Man this song makes me cry. Great vid.

[LordIAmYours1964]

Bigboy... you sound very bitter. Be careful with whom you are talking about! Someday you will come to a day in your life that you will cry out to the Lord. And, until that day comes you will never know how different life can be when you ask God to come into your heart! If I may suggest a song for you.. by Petra, "It is Finished" and another from Carmen, "Lazarus Come Forth".

[bigboy45454545]

So if I say bad things about the magic man who lives in the sky, is he going to get me? Is he going to send me to a special magic place full of fire, where I'll burn and cry, and suffer in torment and agony forever and ever, til the end of time? Cause I thought he loved me.....Retard?

It's really about making you believe the impossible, then they brainwash you, and collect the tithing from the flock of sheeple.

You really think Jesus is going to fly out of the sky?.....Delusional thinking !!

[BrianAV1611]

You really think people came from monkeys? THAT's delusional thinking.

[bigboy45454545]

Learn the theory that you dispute........Redneck.

The whole world laughs at Christian fundamentalist Americans.

[goinmad2007]

Here's the question you should probably ask yourself (don't get all proud,be honest to yourself). Do you believe that you have infinite knwldge to say that there is no God? The answer is No. No one has infinite knwldge and knows everything. So let's say you know 1/2 of everything there is to know. What if..God exists in the 1/2 that you don't know??Which do you think is better for you?(you don't have to answer that,I've heard "wise crack" answers from people).Thanks for reading. God loves you.

[reyna4lif]

Laugh at Christians is expected and is written that we will be persecuted for the Lords sake but blessed is they that endures! For EVERY knee will bow and EVERY tongue confess that JESUS is LORD! God Bless.

[play789987]

bigboy, if you say things against Christ he is not just automatically send you to hell's fire. You will be judged on everything in your life from beginning to end and who knows you may not feel that same way this time next year. He gave us freedom of choice, and that includes the freedom not to believe in him, but I have witnessed answers to prayer, and that is why I believe. Hell is not a place where you burn for eternity, but till the end of your life which is the end of time for you God bless

[WLinesman]

Ummm...few conceptual problems here. 1) Forever & ever means no end, not 'til the end of time but beyond it.

2) He does love you, but you hate Him & are making war against Him & His plan for you even if you don't buy it. He loves you so much that He sent His Son Jesus to die an horrific death so that He might not have to judge you. But it's like money in the bank. Not a whole lot of good if you don't use it....

[WLinesman]

....3) Actually He's going to come out of the Sky on an great white horse at the head of an army to stop us completely annihilating ourselves. The tragically funny thing is, if you are correct so what? Oblivion & your existence has had no purpose or meaning. If the Believer is correct then you're in for a big shock & Oops! just wont cover it....

[WLinesman]

...4) The Geological record does NOT support the theory of Evolution because of an absolute derth of transient forms & this is absolutely necessary to confirm the theory. However, species adaptation is proved beyond all reasonable doubt & even if subsiquent discoveries prove evolution as the mechanism of creation this does not eliminate Prime Cause from the equation. Ladies & Gentlemen the wheel is still spinning, place your bets!

You have a good day now. God bless : )

[bigboy45454545]

Careful or the vengeful God of the bible will smote you down! What a load of garbage.

The bible is easily 'The Greatest Bullshit Story Ever Told'. You believe in a magic man, who lives in the sky? Who looks down at everything you do, every second of every day. Go to the doctor and get an RX for the anti-brainwashing medication.

[FillTheirVoid]

Yes, He will take vengeance against His adversaries. He will move against evil men and destroy them in righteousness. The Bible is easily the greatest story ever told, regardless of it's validity. I believe in the eternal Creator God. You should repent and believe in Christ for the forgiveness of your sins.

[bigboy45454545]

Hey FillTheirVoid

I know you mean well, but come on?

None of it is real! God won't do shit, for or against his enemies, or the people he loves. (but only if they kiss his royal ass)

I guess Christians are the only people allowed in heaven?

Is the magic Jesus going to fly out of the clouds soon..........To save all you good people?

[christreigns12]

God says the just shall live by faith. He does not say the just will live by courage or wisdom or might or virtue. No he declares that it is faith that will characterize the righteous. I know you have no understanding on what it means to live by faith. But consider what the Bible says

" Understand, ye brutish among the people: and ye fools, when will ye be wise?

He that planted the ear, shall he not hear? he that formed the eye, shall he not see?". God sees and hears and he saves.

[bigboy45454545]

Hey christreigns12

'God' doesn't say anything at all.

It's a concept of the human imagination.

Religion is a means of enslaving the ignorant.

Jesus says he will answer 'all' prayers.

All he ever did is ignore people.

1) Because magic isn't real, we learned that when we're about 10 y/o.

2) God or Jesus isn't real, and nobody has ever seen them. If people have, they're mentally ill.

[LiberorumDeus]

What are you, a Marxist?

Jesus never said He would answer ALL prayers; He said He would answer prayers in His name. This doesn't merely mean saying "in Jesus' name;" it means praying for what is right. And God answers prayers in 3 ways: yes, no and wait.

By your definition, people like Martin Luther King, Jr., George Washington, Galileo and Lous Pasteur are all mentally ill.

What is the reason for coming to the conclusion that there is no God?

[BrianAV1611]

The absence of God is a product of human imagination.

Why do you think you constantly have to debate? Are you afraid that you'll give in to overwhelming evidence of God?

[play789987]

Bigboy, you don't see air either, but that doesn't mean that it is not there.

[glotiger]

bigboy you need to get a life and be very careful what you say, if you don't agree with what is being said prove us wrong.

[Suzaku82]

Nope-- I believe in a cause. You don't-- and that's saddening.

Do you even understand cause and effect? Not to mention the concept of complexity? :P

Copernicus was a Roman Catholic with a degree in canon law. I can tell you where he got his theory from. Poor you.

Easier to believe in magic than it is to believe in nothing!

[dutchmcgee101]

Why do you hate God?

[sankow2]

Thank you for posting this question. "elli,elli lama sabaktani" is translated to "My God, my God,why have you forsaken me" "Jesus then cried out again and yielded up his spirit"Matthew 27:46,50.This video refers to the last words..."Father into your hands I commend my spirit"Luke 23:43 or it is finished. He had completed the job. He had become our scarifice. The blood of Jesus makes us clean before God. Our acts or words will never be enough. Please think..

[aqthebreeze]

Hope we can think;if the jesus is god;why he ask god for help by uttering elli, elli lama sabakhtani

[juanjosemtzvillela]

there are two aspects of god you have to understand one is the lord himself and the other is the guru or spiritual master,who is the mercy incarnated,is only to teach the people whith example,how to praise our supreme father,great spirit,the supreme personality of godhead Sri Krishna Bagavan,you wait until death puts you on your knees,you better take the lesson from lord jesus for goods,hare krishna omtat sat

[christreigns12]

aqthebreeze Jesus did not say "I am God" but he did say that only He knew the Father. And that He is the way to God. He said that he and the Father were one and the same. And if that is not enough he said, "No man can come to the Father but through me". If you do not believe who Jesus said he was, you will never know the Father.

[aqthebreeze]

God showers us with knowledge to enable us to know him. He sent prophets frm immemorial time in order to lead us to the right path. But many gone astray after the demise of the prophet. I'm afraid that we are among the men who have gone astray. I read Bible. I blive at time of Jesus "No man can come to thefather butthrough me". But whatdoes it meant?TheprophetJesus lead us tothe God. Butheis notGod. The followers have gone astray & said he is God. So,in the present time,how we wnt to know God?

[christreigns12]

If you read the bible and believe the words of Jesus why are you questioning me? Jesus said that he is greater than the prophets, even the prophet Abraham. Jesus said that he can give eternal life, forgive sins and that he had power over the living and the dead. Jesus said he shared the same glory with his Father. And that those who honour the Son, honour the Father. No other prophet claimed to be the Son of God.

[christreigns12]

It is for you to decide whether Jesus and his disciples were lying or not. But I know the truth.

[dutchmcgee101]

The Trinity. Three seperate but equal Persons, but one. God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit.

[FillTheirVoid]

The prophets of old used to say "Thus saith the LORD" but Jesus said "I say unto you."

Also, Jesus Christ calls Himself First and Last in Revelations which is a title given to God in the Old Testament.

Jesus Christ is God Himself.

[Qereach]
