"Get Behind Me Satan" by Zac Adams: The Power of God’s Authority


"Get Behind Me Satan" by Zac Adams is a personal and raw song about the struggles he faced in spiritual battles. Zac shares, "I wrote it during a time when I was battling intense spiritual warfare - not just temptation, but anxiety, shame, and discouragement that felt like it was hitting from every angle." Zac continues, "It's based on that powerful moment when Jesus said, "Get behind me, Satan," reminding me that we have the authority to stand firm and speak truth when the enemy tries to lie to us." 

Zac Adams - Get Behind Me Satan

"I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy; nothing will harm you." - Luke 10:19 

That became the inspiration for this song. The song is a wake-up call, reminding us that we can choose to reject the lies, the guilt, and the fear and to step boldly into the freedom and identity God has for us. The enemy (Satan) may think he has you, but the truth is, you're already victorious! "The devil thought he had my heart," and then it flips - boom - victory! You'll hear how Zac went from "stressing to blessings," and laughed at how depression "turned into dancing and singing." That is the change that God makes in our lives. 

Zac shares the following about the song: "It's gritty and bold, because I wanted it to feel like spiritual war - but one we fight with the Word of God and the authority of Christ." If you're feeling weighed down, or the next time you realize that you're in a spiritual battle, may this song remind you that you're not alone, and you have the authority to push back. Go ahead and give it a listen. Stick around 'til the last "I'm in freedom." You'll replay it, promise.

(Related scripture: Matthew 16:23; John 8:36; Luke 10:19)

"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....

"Man I Used To Be" by Dax: Half the Weight, Double the Faith

"Man I Used To Be" by Dax is a very personal song. Dax had promised himself that he wouldn't release new music until he'd stayed sober for six months, the time he needed to get his priorities straight and clear his mind. "Man I Used To Be" is the sound of his first clean breath, life with God by his side. Dax lays it bare: "Trials and tribulations, all my past trauma," he acknowledges, along with "generational curses from daddy and mama," and the "addictions that clouded my eyes." The honesty about his past struggles makes the message of this song so relatable and powerful.  The chorus is about the moment that the script was flipped, "I'm half the man I used to be." Not a broken man, but a man who has been freed from the burdens that weren't his to carry and kept him from God. "I don't ever chase, I got God," declaring that his new identity is anchored in faith. It's a shrug and a testimo...

As you listen, you can almost feel the cruise, where it's just you, your thoughts, and God.  The chorus is so relatable: 'When I need space, that's where I go, a place to escape that nobody knows.'
