"Victory" by Jillian Schafer - Breaking Chains, Finding Freedom


Jillian Schafer's "Victory" is an amazing song, not just the lyrics, but also how this was created. Jillian shares, "One evening in the living room, I felt an overwhelming sense of peace and inspiration wash over me. It was as if the Holy Spirit was guiding my heart and hands. In just 30–45 minutes, the song "Victory" poured out of me a process that usually takes me hours or days."

Jillian Schafer - VictoryThe song is a celebration of Christ's triumph over sin and death, but even more important, it has a major message for you… right here and now! It's simple… it's an open invitation for you to ask God to be part of your life. This is how His sacrifice will also apply to you.

It's easy to see Jesus' sacrifice: "Wrongfully accused, willfully abused, heart-broken and bruised." You will hear Jillian sing about the hope that He brings, "A perfect sacrifice, Victory!" The lyrics take us to the time of Adam and Eve to remind us of how humanity fell and go from there to the freedom we may receive through His mercy: "Death cannot win, neither can sin, through Him, if we let Him in."

"… if we let Him in…," that's the key! You, me, we… we all need His victory to be part of our lives. We can sing and thank Him all day for His sacrifice and still ignore His call to action. His victory is yours if you open your heart, embrace His love, and step into the life He offers. May your heart and mind open the door to let Him in. He is already there and wants you to be part of His unshakable victory.

(Related scripture: Romans 5:12, 17-19; 1 Corinthians 15:54-57; Hebrews 2:14-15)

Skillet - Valley of Death (CCM)

Skillet has released a Christian Contemporary Music (CCM) track called Valley of Death. The global health crisis of the last two years has led to numerous questions regarding why bad things happen to good people. Skillet's John Cooper explains why he believes God allowed the pandemic to happen. Skillet has released their new album Dominion through Atlantic Records last Friday (Jan. 14). A discussion with 'Loudwire Nights' host Toni Gonzalez brought up the track "Valley of Death," which contains the lyrics: "Someone said this is all part of the plan / But I don't understand." Gonzalez then asked him why he thinks God would allow a pandemic. This is what Cooper said: "Well, the first answer is that we're not good people. We're all fallen and we are all in desperate need of salvation through Jesus. So, we're not actually good people, we all do bad stuff. We all cheat, we've all lied, we're all greedy and as much as the most lov...

"Sunlight (Storge)" by Chelsea Chaisson: Reminisce the Simpler Times

(by Jasper Tan) Feel good, light-hearted, easy listening track. That's how I find Chelsea Chaisson's new single called "Sunlight (Storge)." I was kind of curious what the word "Storge" means, so I had to look it up. According to Wikipedia, "Storge is a Greek word that refers to natural, familial affection or love, particularly the bond between parents and children, as well as among family members and close friends. It is characterized by familiarity, dependence, and loyalty, often rooted in kinship bonds and shared experiences." Sounds very familiar? Of course, it should be, because as per the description, it actually describes what Christian love is. Or should I say how God loves us as His children? Chelsea was inspired to write this song by reminiscing about her childhood, marked by simpler times spent with her cousins and their grandma.  Countless times, we always heard the saying that we all should have faith like a child. The reason for that i...

"In the Room" by Matt Maher feat. Chris Brown: A Heartfelt Desire for Divine Presence

Matt Maher's collaboration with Chris Brown, 'In the Room,' is a soul-stirring Christian song that encapsulates the profound longing to witness transformative moments in the presence of God. The lyrics express the desire to be present when God's power touches broken hearts, ignites faith, and brings healing. The song's verses convey a yearning for those irreplaceable instances when heaven and earth intersect, leading to changed hearts and restored lives. The chorus's declaration, ' I just wanna be in the room when You move,' beautifully encapsulates the eagerness to witness God's miraculous work up close. The bridge's vivid imagery of tearing off the roof and pushing through the crowd reflects the determination to encounter God, no matter the obstacles. The repetition of the bridge emphasizes the earnest plea to witness God's breakthroughs and freedom. 'In the Room' is an invitation to be part of moments that are greater than oneself...
