ATF 2009 "The Stand" The New Normal Phil*Joel

Hey guys! I went to Acquire The Fire this weekend and the music was absolutely amazing! I got to meet everyone I wanted to and not to mention I got loads of autographs and pictures! Phil*Joel is absolutely incredible on stage and off! He was in charge of the worship throughout the two days and it was incredible! I was waiting all day for him to sign autographs (checking back at the booth and what not) and finally I asked the band manager if there was any way he could text me when Phil got there, he said yes! I got the text an hour l8r and I booked it!!! So I finally got to him and this guy is incredible like people would take a pic with him and instead of moving on he would ask if it turned out ok and then move on! So unlike the people who had friends and other people to take their pictures for them it was just me and I had my zoom on (by accident) so when I took it I got a picture of Phils nose and a girls like, "Yea, you know you just got a picture of his nose right?" and then I'm like, "Oh man sorry, It's all good there's a lot of people!" And he said, "Fix your zoom and we'll try it again!" So I ended up getting my picture with Phil*Joel! For some reason I wasn't feeling God the way I wanted to, almost like Satan had to many barriers up in my life, and so at one point in the song I just said, God you have to come in and be a light because I'm just not with you at this event for some reason. All of a sudden the bridge of the song happened (I'll point it out on the video, it's the most amazing part of the song anyways like I didn't even know what song it was until I heard this part) and it's like I was filled with God and I put my hands up and was like wow that was fast! Thank You Jesus!!! Leave good comments and have a good one!

I love his version of this song. Every time I hear it, his voice is in my head.

@besmith3687 So true!

[besmith3687]

@sarah1oszter I meant to say every time I hear it at church or on the radio Phil's voice is in my head. You probably knew what I meant. lol

[sarah1oszter]

@besmith3687 I know exactly what you meant, I fell the same way about certain songs.

I like Skillet too. I especially love how Christian hard rock bands use classical instruments in some of their stuff. The first time I saw them live I saw Ben pull out the violin and the other person with the cello I thought I had officially died and gone to Heaven! Hahaha I think they use it for Comatose, but I don't know what other songs

Also, I am so happy that God answered your prayer and moved in you!
