'Holy Spirit (You Are With Us)' by Andrew Afton - Turning Fear into Faith


Have you already heard 'Holy Spirit (You Are With Us)' by Andrew Afton? The heart of this song is a call for the Holy Spirit to come into our lives, recognizing that true strength, joy, and fulfillment can only come when we completely surrender to God's will. It's about opening our hearts, letting the winds of heaven rush in, and turning our fear into steadfast faith. 

Andrew Afton - Holy Spirit (You Are With Us)What makes this song even more interesting is Andrew's personal story. Andrew is a young man who brushed with the brink of life itself while in the recovery room after his cancer surgery. His near-death experience has also had a huge impact on his outlook on life. A second chance, as Andrew calls it. This change of heart also finds its way into his songs, making the lyrics more relatable and conveying the message that God is present in every moment. 

Andrew sings about the everyday challenges you may face and reminds you that you don't have to face them on our own. Just open the 'door' and let Holy Spirit stand by your side, so you are geared up to handle anything that comes on your way. 

I encourage you to give it a listen. Whether you're facing tough times, feeling empty, or simply need a reminder of God's presence, I trust that this song will boost your day and motivate you to let the Holy Spirit lead your way. The Holy Spirit is ready to fill you with strength and joy.

(Related scripture: 2 Timothy 1:7; Acts 2:1-4; Ezekiel 36:26-27)

"Living Proof" by Island Tribe Collective: When His People Unite, Mountains Move

(by Jasper Tan) "Living Proof" by Island Tribe Collective (featuring Sherwin Gardner, Marc Isaacs, and Alicia Taylor) is a live recording of a powerful, high-energy worship anthem that embodies what the collective calls "Caribbean Worship." The group invites us into a celebration of faith, utilizing the culture from the Caribbean islands and how they express it as a living proof of God's goodness. The song talks about our faith and the new beginnings that are promised to us after we overcome our struggles and hardships. Their repeated proclamation of "Lord, I'm living proof" aims to drive down the message that each one of us is already a living proof of God's faithfulness love, and mercy. We all have our own unique faith experiences and stories that could somehow inspire the people around us. So for those of us who have been know for our strong faith, being able to overcome our struggles and testify about it, brings a more concrete testimony an...

"Dancing In Your Light" by Ora Street Mission Band: Shining Through Everyday Acts

Ora Street Mission Band put their finger on something important with "Dancing In Your Light." It's the fact that (as Christians) we don't generate our own light, we reflect God's light. It's like the moon reflecting the sun at night. As Christians, we are called to be lights to the world! The vibe of the song draws from a rich musical palette, inspired by The Police, Weather Report, and Toto, giving the song a contemporary groove that matches the song's present-day message. The song encourages you to come into action. So, what does it look like to live as a bearer of His light? The lyrics try to compare this with a firefly lit from within, and a lighthouse holding firm before a raging sea. Each comparison points to the same truth… His light is given to be shared with others. "If he has illuminated you, then fly and be free!" Jesus declared, "I am the light of the world." This song turns that fact into a call to action. Shine, move, and...

"Green Enough Here" by John Long: Stop Chasing More and Start Living Now

What if the life you already have is actually the life you've been looking for? That's the question that John Long's song, "Green Enough Here", is answering. This song encourages us to take a fresh look at the endless chase in the world today, the one that encourages us to get more and more and more… John invites us to slow down, stay in the present, and find beauty in the ordinary. John doesn't waste time getting to the point: "Don't waste all of your time in the fast lane // Take it easy and learn to love the process." It's a simple message, opposite to what the world is telling us… that a full life is measured by what we have achieved or our status. Contrary to what the world is telling us, it's personal relationships, raising children, staying grounded, embracing the quiet seasons, and listening to God's guidance that matter most. The second verse takes the message a step further. "I'm done letting all my failures hold m...
