Hello, My Name is Cornelius Lo, I just wanted to thank Delirious? so much for what they have done and what they are doing. I believe that one of the foremost influences on my life is D?, I have never really enjoyed music, however God inspired me through Delirious? to pickup music(the guitar)and to start writing music(much later). I am 17 and I believe that what God has done through Delirious will far surpass their(hopefully temporary) dis-membership. Overall I just wanted to thank you for your music which has blessed me sooo much and I most importantly want to say that your music has touched so many lives (mine especially) and that your work will have impact upon the future. THANK YOU.

Your Fan/Brother in Christ

Cornelius Lo

May God Bless you on whatever paths you walk!

i've struggled with feeling defeated & down for the last 5 years. then i read isaiah 61:1-3 & something specific stuck out. it talks about preaching the good news to the poor, binding up the brokenhearted, proclaiming freedom for the captives, releasing prisoners from darkness, comforting all who mourn, providing for those who grieve, bestowing beauty for ashes, gladness instead of mourning, and A GARMENT OF PRAISE INSTEAD OF A SPIRIT OF DESPAIR. i ran with that & when i was mad i sang thru gritted teeth. when i was sad i sang thru tears. it lifted my spirit to sing your songs to GOD in the car, in my room, whereever. it was great to sing along to your cd's at home, but it was even better to worship GOD with you guys & however many women were at the 2009 women's conference in st louis. i want to thank you for what you've done, worship wins the war. love y'all GOD bless!

I don't really know how to say what is and has gone on in our hearts but I'll try to explain a bit. First! Thank you for being such a beautiful part of changing our lives by drawing us into the throne room once again, and over again! 10 years ago God used the Cutting Edge album while He moved us from California to Colorado. Now Joyce's Conference, Ft. Collins, and 3 new cd's to us. This was the first time we have gotten to be with you live, and were at every opportunity near Denver. We pastor a small innercity church in Denver. We live in the mountains above Denver. We brought many homeless guys with us to introduce them to a deeper walk with Christ. To enjoy God's word, people and worship. A few joined me and jumped up front with you! One went with us as we brought our four teens to see you in Ft.Collins. To see my husband get on his knees when you played "find me in the river" brought tears to my eyes.I put him up front, that was where I was most of the time. We love that song, and have lived it. You are our favorite worship team! The lyrics God gives you draw us closer to Him. The music haunts us, and woos us to worship Him more! To hunger for Him. World Service, Mission Bell, along with My soul sings, are being used by God to have us declare His plans, for our teenagers and ministry. And to believe for His newest plans to manifest. It was fun to be up front and worship with you all! We are praying for you, for your beautiful wives, and children. For Arun CC. For your future destiny. For how God wants to work in your musical gifts in the future, and how that will include your families more. It seems that is where your heart is and should be. God's a family man. We're all in His! Thank you for giving away the book sharing your histories and beginnings. We are enjoying knowing about you a bit more personally. Helps us as we pray. We hope to see you again! Keep praying over the seeds you have sown boys! They are many and most beautiful! Powerful in His hands. God continues to use the seeds we've sown. Just like prayers have no expiration dates, seeds die and bring forth life. Unexplainable. And lovely. Maybe we'll get to see you on the mission field sometime, somewhere. Keep writing songs, or whatever God leads you to write. If you come to beautiful Colorado again let us know! You are all welcome! BLESS YOU BIG as you all continue to build His Kingdom!!!! Love from the Szugyi's John, Dawn, Britany, David, Ben and Andrew all Kingdom Builders, History Makers, Worshippers, and whatever God calls us! To HIM be ALL the glory! Cheers!

Thank you so much for your beautifull songs over the years! They are a blessing for my soul and ears... In trouble times "Every little thing will be allright" was a true encouraging song and kept me going on praising God, even when I was feeling sad. "I found Jesus" mad me so happy and "I could sing of Your love forever, "Majesty" and "My soul sings" are one of the most beautiful worshipsongs ever! I heard you guys live at the first time at the E.O-Youthday and my heart warmed up like a meerkat in the sun ;) I am really glad to have the chance to be at the show in Den Haag in Holland and I KNOW the Lord will bless you all for your service in music here on earth AND in heaven! God bless you! Greetings from a historymaker, Edward.

I first started going to church aged 2. I never became spiritual with God until I got baptised again aged 16. I am now 20, a successful university student, with a passion for Music, Acting and Directing. I thank God every day for my life, because without him I would be lost. See I was diagnosed with Autism (Google it if you don't know what it is) aged 11. Being a teenager with this brain disorder was so hard. It still is hard, but with God, my family, friends and inspirations including Delirious, I have become a very stong willed woman. Delirious your song "Sanctify" is so beautiful, that it completely fits my life. Thank you so much for writing it. It has got me through a lot. I also want to say that for those out there who are going through something hard, trust God always. He has a purpose for our lives, and if you trust him through all the pain, suffering, tears and so on, he will lift you and guide you to the next step. He did that with me. He lifted me from my suffering with this brain disorder, and I cry out all the time with worship and thanks for this. I don't know where I would be without him. I'm sorry to hear Delirious that your gig in London is sold out. I was really hoping to come. When your next in London please let me know.

Love in Christ Jesus

It was a priviledge to attend the last USA Delirous? concert in Dallas. A bit bitter sweet but powerful as usual.

From the first time I was able to attend a concert at Six Flags (1997) in Dallas to the last one, the Delirious? boys helped bring the Presence of God into our lives.

The first show at six flags (Dallas) our seats were up high. I was disappointed during the opening act but spotted four open seat about twenty rows up. We quickly snatched them expecting to be moved but never were. As Delirious? played 'Follow' I had an incredible encounter with the Lord that I will never forget. One that drew me closer to the throne. Amazingly, the next year, Delirious? was playing the same venue. My wife & I got tickets early (we live in Nebraska) planning to attend on our anniversary. As we arrived to the venue to find our seats, guess where our seats were located? The EXACT same four seats that we scouted out the year before. The exact 4 seats. I was a wreck with the Love of God from the opening of the show. The presence of God was so powerful that night; I was completely in disarray. The best thing though was when the Lord wispered in my ear; I don't only care about your needs, but your desires also. God's Love is so huge for us.

Whether it was an encouter with the Love of God at Six Flags; his joy in Colorado Springs, his weighty presence at a huge Baptist Church in Dallas; an unbelievable wave of his Peace in St. Joseph, MO as Martin tapped on the base of his guitar with his fingers; seeing Martin prophecy over an older gentleman in Wichita, KS, or this last, seventh show in Dallas where the overwhelming presence of God consumed me to the very core; I am thankful for the gift that God has placed inside of these men to help us all tap into the presence and love of God.

This past weekend in Dallas, once again God moved from the very beginning. As we walked up to our Hotel on the opening night, it was to our complete suprise and priviledge to see Jon, Paul, and Stu G standing outside waiting for their ride. Amazing! It was an honor to meet you all!

Thank you, Delirious?, for being faithful to the call, for not settling for second best, for sacrificing to help others connect with the presence of God. Thank You. Thank You. Thank You.

May God Bless you in this new season of your life.

Blessings.

Hi guys!

I just want to say that if it wasn't for God, if it wasn't for what Jesus did for me, I would have not been a history maker. Today I can say that I am one less...one less of the ones who curse their parents... one less of the ones who are depressed because their "love" left them...one less of the ones who are depressed because their parents argue too much...one less of the ones who think there is no way out... one less of the ones who think about dying because of the situations around are that are so critical, one less...one less...
Now i am one more in the Kingdom of God and I'm asking God to use me to reach out to those who are in the same state I was... that through whatever talent He gave me, that people (teens specially) may come to realize that in Jesus we find the love that no one else can give us, that in Jesus we can find the warm embrace that we didn't get from dad, that in Jesus there is hope, happiness, forgiveness, justification, righteousness...that in Jesus we will find everything we dream of! I pray that God will use my talent, like he used you guys in the music ministry. That we may continue to help others be one less and become one more in the Kingdome of God!

I'm gonna miss you guys so much...thank you Martin, Jon, Stu G, Stew, Paul, Tim...May God continue to shine His face over you and that His favor and protection will accompany you all always...honor Him in all you do so that you will continue to be an inspiration to many..like you have been to me!

God bless ya! hope to see ya soon!

You guys were Gods instrument to carry me as I was recovering from drugs, alcohol and emptiness. I moved to Dallas in 2000 when I was 18 yrs old to attend Christ for the Nations. Glo was undoubtedly my favorite album and I insaciably listened to it over and over as I did my devotion, drove to work and at last, while writing my book Goodbye Transylvania. I later met my Colombian wife who also became a big fan, but the biggest fan was yet to come. When my daughter was 2 she sang Majesty and now she is 5 and my youngest is 2, and she is muttering Miracle Maker. They are both in love with your music as they have heard it and seen you live several times. Though yesterday was probably the last time you would be in America as Delirious?, your music will transcend time and I believe my grandchildren will one day receive the same inspiration from it as I did. Thank you and we'll forever miss you. Sucess with Compassionart!

Desde que supe de esta banda británica desde fines de la década de los noventa, sus historias, sus sonidos, sus letras, su música y su manera de adorar y levantar el mensaje de Jesús, fue una constante inspiración para tener una relación directa con Dios. La vida no es siempre fácil y existen momentos en que hubiera querido dejarlo todo.

Sin embargo, hay un mensaje que no calla, que no guarda silencio, que es un grito de esperanza para el que está sin ninguna oportunidad, y es ese momento donde aparece Delirious?, su mensaje es el mismo que nos dejó Jesús, pero Delirious? le agrega una refrescante energía y pasión renovadoras, donde puedes hallar paz y donde debo decir sólo la verdad, donde no hay caretas ni disfraces para aparentar lo que no somos, sino lo que realmente hemos de ser.

Por lo anterior, es mi deseo que esta banda no despezca, a fin de que sigan siendo creadores de historias, donde puede verme como en un espejo, a mi mismo y con la esperanza de ser mejor ante la mirada atenta de mi Señor Jesús.

Delirios? Que Nuestro Señor Jesús les siga bendiciendo y prosperando en todos sus proyectos.

I've also created my own story

Since I learned of this British band since the late nineties, their histories, their sounds, their lyrics, their music and their way of worship and lift the message of Jesus, was a constant inspiration to have a direct relationship with God . Life is not always easy and there are times when he had wanted to leave everything.

However, there is a message that is not silent, it is not silent, it's a cry of hope for which is no chance, and it appears that time where Delirious?, His message is the same as Jesus left us, but Delirious? adds a refreshing refreshing energy and passion, where you can find peace and where I have to say only the truth, where no masks or costumes to pretend we are not, but what we really be.

For this, it is my wish that this band will not disappears, to continue being creators of stories, where you can see me as in a mirror to myself and hopefully be better before the watchful eyes of my Lord Jesus.

Delirious? May our Lord Jesus continue to bless and prosper them in all their projects.

I was born into a Spirit-filled family and grew up a follower of Jesus but when I decided to become a professional musician I started feeding myself music that became darker and darker to the point where I was in a low-grade depression all the time. I almost lost my marriage at one point, and also lost my ability to play guitar because of repetetive motion syndrome (tendonitis and CTS) in both hands from playing the guitar too much. God did two things at that point: he healed my arms and hands, and I got my first Delirious? CD. I hated, literally hated, "church" music. And then "Sanctify" came blasting out of my speakers. A) Production was as good as the stuff I was immersed in at the time B) The lyrics were honest, real, like a diary...like my diary. I stood in my living room and cried. I am now a worship pastor serving the Lord and doing Kingdom business full time. Delirious? changed my life. I cannot thank you guys enough for all your music, and being the best band in the world. There was music before D: and after D: and for me there was life before D: and after D:. In the history books you guys will be known as the band that changed everything. The rule book was thrown out, and for me, you made life worth living. Thank you.

I used to be one of those people who always tried to fit in with the wrong crowd. The guys that did all of the drugs, drunk to danger point nearly every weekend without fail. I never really felt I was one of them as they obviously didn\\'t respect me. In year 12 I was put in a class with this girl and she seemed to think that I wanted to hear about Jesus. I had been down that road before when I went to a christian school that tried to jam it down my throat. I was in a stage where I was trying to be the opposite of who I was when I was at that school. Running away from God. I told her to shut up about it on countless occasions. She didn\\'t, she pointed out the fact that these guys obviously didn\\'t respect me and that I obviously wasn\\'t happy. She constantly invited me to her youth group. I wouldn\\'t go and hang out with a bunch of Jesus freaks and besides I just didn\\'t do those sorts of situations. By the end of the year I was hanging out with her, in her circle of friends, not a christian yet. I later left that girl\\'s group of friends. I had another friend who wasn\\'t a christian who went to a youth group. I chose to go there, funny thing is it was the same youth group as my christian friend went to. I went there. I found out that these Jesus freaks weren\\'t that bad and actually had a sense of humour. Heck one of them even had hair that was halfway down his forearms- I found out later on much to my disbelief that this was the youth pastor. Through this youth group I found friends and later on a faith in God. It actually happened very suddenly once my christian friend got me to church. God was waiting for me. Only about a month and a half into going to church did I accept Jesus as my lord and Saviour. About another month later I got baptised, my life has never been the same since. I have had huge ups and downs but I found that I can come out of them way easier than I used to. I\\'m not tied up in what people think of me anymore, people at my baptism referred to me as radiating happiness. Just goes to show what a persistant friend will do and how great youth groups are.

I attended the Greg Laurie Crusade in Long Island because my wife wanted to go. I am a Spirit-filled missionary/prophet, who has had the privilege of setting up Spiritual Warfare Conferences, Miracle Crusades, and Leadership Conferences in Ghana, Kenya, Nigeria, South Africa, Germany, and several cities in England.

The Lord gave me a specific word for Martin Smith which I sent to him personaly which I don't feel is appropriate to post in this public forum. Let me say it was a exciting word concerning him and the poor.

God has prospered the USA and the first world nations that we have a moral and Christian obligation to go and send the Gospel with humanitarian assitance that will lift people above the level of their poverty.

Talk is cheap!! The world will take notice when the church truly makes an impact on the problem of starvation which could be solved, but because of corrupt governmsnts in parts of Africa that divert foor for the poor to be sold on the black market to line their greedy pockets.

This is the case in Kenaya where the the Kenya government claimed food had rotted in the warehouse and couldn't be sold, but somehow then disappeared. Right now in northern Kenya their are 4 million people in need of food aid to survive.

Please pray and give to Non-profits and NGOs that have their own people on the ground in nations like Kenya. We have 52 orphans that have been rescued of the streets from drugs and other indescribable sins committed against them.

Nariobi has a slum that rings the city which contains 2 million people that live withou running water and proper sewage.

Please pray for myself Rev. Doug Mohr and Agatha Muthoni who is charge of House of Fire Ministries in Kenya

A few years ago I went to the delirious? gig in Liverpool on the World Service Tour. During Every Little Thing, Martin asked us to ring a friend and let them listen to the song. A friend of mine had been unable to make the gig, I rung him, let him listen to the chorus a couple of times and hung up - didn't want to waste my credit! That Sunday at church he gave the following testimony: A couple of months back he had started to slip away from God. He had been having problems at home and these were getting him down. He started to hang around with the wrong crowd and get involved in drink and drugs. Things got so bad that he decided to end his own life. He went into the bathroom and picked up some razor blades ready to slash his wrists and kill himself. Just then his phone rang and it was me saying "Mate,we are at a delirious concert, listen to this ..."Every Little things, Gonna Be Alright"". Thesong and more importantly the timing of it, gave him hope for the future. He obviously didn't take his own life and still alive and well today! When I heard this testimony I just went numb. What I did, as a fun thing at a d: gig, saved someones life.
I just want to thank God, for working the whole timing out - it was amazing how they played the song, just at the right time. I also want to honour Martin and delirious for being faithful, for listening to God and for making a difference.

I like the songs of D?,my soul sings, I had the opportunity to go to the concert on 20/09 in Mexico. God bless your lives even more than he has done. God,let them know your glory,and captivate their hearts,keep them,in your hands as valuable instruments

When I met you God,I stayed happily ruined.

I met of God more or less when I was 6 or 7 years old,(I'm 18 now) and I have been through several encounters with God,and I would like to dedicate this space to talk about him and my meeting with him,

Dad knows my dreams,and knows me better than I,I love to meet him,and suddenly see part of him, when Dad took you never let you go.

I have more or less captured how he loves me! how he loves us! And when one begins to meditate in this,there is an encounter with him,something big falls on you and absorbs you,because you realize that we are so weak and how many times we fall? But also how many million of times we feel the hug,the love,the mercy and grace of GOD on us? We are so small and how BIG GOD IS!!!

I want to dedicate every second of my days to Him,I want to devote the best of the days to Him, and make the best worship,the best of me ,my soul yearns His voice, wants to see you, be in his arms,and even better in the deepest of his heart.

FATHER, WHAT DO YOU WANT?

Come! come! We want you to be here,we love you...

that every day of my days my soul cries to heaven and say:

I LOVE YOU DAD HERE!

Dios bendiga sus vidas aun mas,que conozcan su gloria,y que cautive sus corazones,que sigan siendo intrumentos valiosos en sus manos...

cuando me encontre contigo Dios,quede felizmente arruinada.

conoci a Dios mas o menos cuando tenia 6 o 7 años,(ya tengo 18),y he pasado por varios encuentros con Dios,y me gustaria dedicar este espacio para hablar de El y mi encuentro con El,

Papá conoce mis sueños,y me conoce mejor que yo,me encanta encontrarme con EL,y derepente ver parte de El,cuando Papá te ha tomado jamás te suelta.

he podido mas o menos captar ¡cuanto me ama!,¡cuanto nos ama! y cuando uno se pone a penzar en esto hay un encuentro con El,algo enorme cae sobre ti y te absorbe por que te das cuanta de que tan debil somos ¿cuantas miles de veces metemos la pata? y ¿cuantas millones de veces sentimos el abrazo,su amor,su misericordia y gracia sobre nosotros?.somos tan pequeños, y que tan GRANDE ES DIOS!

quiero dedicar cada segundo de mis dias a El, quiero dedicar el mejor de los dias a El, y hacerle el mejor culto, mi alma anhela su voz, anhela verte, estar dentro de sus brazos, y mejor aun dentro de su corazón.

¿PADRE, QUE ES LO QUE TU QUIERES?

ven!, ven! te anhelamos, te queremos...

que cada dia sea un grito al cielo que diga: ¡PAPà TE QUIERO AQUI!

I had been listening to somehow ambiguous speed power metal for years when, in feb. 2009, during a weekend for wed christians couples in a monastery in the centre of France, I once again saw "Now is the time" at the monastery's shop. Had just read a nice review of it some time ago, but then I bought it, without any idea of what it might sound like. Since then, I got persuaded that the Lord found this way to get me out of dark music : I bought all d:'s CDs, and they support me, and my wife and our daughter too, in learning praise. It especially is amazing for me to hear our 3,5 year-old daughter babble/sing, with whatever French accent you may imagine, "On Christ the solid rock we will stand", or ask for "Kiraiam" song ("Here I am : send me") in the car. Thank God for his delirious plan ! My only regret is to discover you now that you're stopping d:'s flight. T'would have been such a grace to be able to see you in France one day...
May Jesus & Mary's Hearts forever bless all of you !

Well, I'm a 45 years young guy (generation Stu G, I would say;-)). I'm working at a the graphic industry and I'm also an artist. For me D: is the very important. Your lyrics are really touching me. The Holy Spirit uses your phrases in my soul. And the music is so just what I like. I can only be greatfull. I praise and thank God for you!

D: entered my life about 4 years ago. Well, 1 year earlier I downloaded Word Service (sorry), tried it out and found out that it was too loud... Later on I heard the Delirious? part of the Hillsong/D:-album. I was astonished. It was great! So I tried World Service again... and I was into D:! I bought all of the studio albums and a bit of life-things. And it's still filling me up.

It's such a blessing how God uses D: to fill so many people. And I think it's amazing how you guys love Jesus. Your songs are so often prayers and praise. So I feel close to God.
I was at the last three concerts in Holland. After the first time I felt like homesick for more than one week! I wanted to go back, longing to keep the concert going on.

You inpire me as well, as an artist. D:-songs made me paint. Here you can see (I hope) Majesty. I was so touched by 'empty handed' and being 'covered by the blood'; just in front of our Masjesty, Lord Jesus.
I did paint 'Jesus' blood never fails me' as well. (If you want: www.evertbuiten.nl - but the english site is not completed) I hope to paint more. My mind is going on...

Still I'm sad about the break up of D:. Though I respect Martin's wish to stay at his family more; let's face the importance of that.
Stu G en Jon are moving forward into the next group. I'm already curious?!

Thank you very very much guys, for everything you did together as Delirious? and I pray that one time... after changing your liffes for a while... you'll be back and make the same great music, or probably more than that. Praise God. He's got us all in his hands. And his future is the best!

This is not a story about me, not a story about Delirious? but a story about God's grace! About 4 years ago God turned my life upside down. Before that I pretended to live as a christian, but it was without any relationship to God. Because of an remark of (then) my ex-girlfriend God made me understand I was on the wrong way. From then on, I began to live by the neverending Grace of God. But as an music addicted, I was hungry for music, but now hungry for music with the Gospel message. Searching for quality Christian musicians, it were you, D-boys, who filled my mouth with challenging quality music which I know use (almost every day) for praising our Miracle Maker in heaven. Yes boys, you make my soul sing (of course with help of the Holy Spirit)!

Thanks and let history repeats itselfs until the day our Saviour returns!

I'm bit of sad cause I heard that it's your last tour, and maybe I cannot see you playing again. I'm in Brazil actually and cannot go there (too expensive I go there by faith).
I meet you in London once (when I was living there, trying to learn a bit of English), at Hammersmith playing Mission Bell, and it was great. Just meet Jesus some months before that and a friend invited me to go there in a service with Colin Die. In that day I was cure for some heart diseases. It was really a powerful experience
I really want to see you guys again.God bless you all
