'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)

"A Love Song" by Seek and Surrender: The Three-Stranded Covenant

(By Jasper Tan) We always see people say "I love you" to someone, professing their love to that significant other. But we often see how a marriage united by love easily shreds to tatters, and we ask ourselves, "Why?" Where did it all go wrong? How did something joined together by love easily get broken and be accepted as "falling out of love"? But the biggest thought that comes to mind while listening to Seek and Surrender's latest song, "A Love Song," is: do we really understand what it feels like to love? In Seek and Surrender's song, there are countless lines in which the singer professes his love to his bride. It seeks to highlight the sincerity of his love, the magnanimity, the pureness. But in those lines, there's this line that we all should focus on —  "If Christ gave Himself for His bride, Oh, then I'll give myself for mine." Do we know how Christ gave himself for his bride (the Church)? He sacrificed himself w...

"Great White Throne Judgement" by whispering HOPE: The Final Rebellion

“Great White Throne Judgement” by whispering HOPE takes us to Revelation 20, and how the chaos of this world will come to an end. The lyrics begin with the release of Satan after a thousand years and his ultimate defeat, where “fire comes down from God above.” In other words, Satan’s rebellion is consumed by God’s fire… chaos is instantly met with God’s perfect order. This song reminds us that justice is inevitable. The bridge is about that awe-inspiring moment that will come when “earth and heaven fled away” and the dead stand before the throne. (That’s mind-blowing!!) The question we can ask ourselves is, why live in fear when you can walk in confidence? Choose life today! Recognize that you have the choice to align with truth, His truth, right here and now. Find your security in Christ! Above all, you don’t need to wait for the books to be opened to ask where you stand. May this song inspire you to live faithfully and with confidence that the Judge is righteous eternally. His grac...

"Your Love" by Kevin Winebarger - When Mercy Becomes Your Identity

Kevin Winebarger teamed up with Joshua Frerichs and Benji Cowart to create this beautiful song. "Your Love" tackles that discouraging voice we all hear from time to time, the one that whispers that we're not enough and that we are defined by our past. "Once a liar, always a liar," and all kinds of variations along this same line of thought. This song isn't about wallowing in shame. "Your Love" is a celebration of the grace that changes everything.  The opening lines hit hard: "I could believe that I'm not enough // It's clear to see I don't measure up." Yep, we've all been there! But this isn't how God want us to be defined… He loved us first! "It's just what You've done // Because of Your love." That's the heart of everything.  Kevin places the change the God brings into perspective, "I could believe that my mistakes // Will follow me down into the grave // But I'm not who I was....
