'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)

"Is Anybody There? (Psalm 27)" by Stephen M. Miller: Holding On to Grace at Heaven’s Door

Stephen M. Miller's "Is Anybody There? (Psalm 27)" comes in the quiet aftermath of the Christmas celebrations, when reflection can feel like isolation. Stephen's song isn't about polishing away his mistakes, nor does it encourage you to do so with your mistakes. Stephen shares his painful experience, "I never saw it coming Lord // It felt right but it was wrong // Family and friends have left me // But I still have you and a song."   Stephen owns the fallout of his actions, taking accountability without despair. "I said it and I did it, Lord // Broke more hearts than I'll ever know // I can't fix this, though I've tried // Don't be angry, and please don't go." His song is a prayer for God's presence and guidance. "Hear me when I call you, Lord // Don't turn your face away // Don't give up on me like others have // Come help me through this day." Stephen describes a fear that we too experience when we ...

"What's That I Hear? (Murrell Ewing Cover)" by The Fosters: When Gospel Comes Home

What if one song could make you feel the pull of heaven so strongly that your heart wishes: "Please don't wake me // For soon the eastern sky will part and I'll see His face." That's exactly what The Fosters deliver with their reimagining of Murrell & Joan Ewing's 1978 classic, "What's That I Hear?" Originally a staple of Rev. Murrell Ewing's ministry and later recorded by various southern gospel legends, this song has been brought home, straight back to its Pentecostal roots. Andrew, Devi, and their three children breathe new life into it, layering family harmony over a real brass section that powers a Sunday morning revival. The longing that is at the heart of this song is unmistakable: "This old world has lost its charm; it's no place for me." It touches a feeling that many believers know quite well, a sense of restlessness and longing for something larger than what this earthly life has to offer. The song reminds us th...

"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...
