"Heel Strike" by Christa: The Victory Was Won Before the Battle Started


Christa - Heel Strike

The battle is already won — and it was won long before you woke up this morning.

Heel Strike by Christa is a bold, Spirit-filled declaration rooted in one of the oldest promises found in Scripture. The Devil tries to stop us, well… the Devil thinks he can stop us. Christa reminds us that Jesus hit him with a heel strike, and that changes everything.

This reference to a heel strike comes from Genesis 3:15, where God speaks directly to the serpent after the fall: “I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and her offspring; he shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise his heel.” That promise has been fulfilled on the cross. Jesus crushed the enemy’s power — not with a sword, but with surrender, resurrection, and total victory!

So why do we still prefer to live as if that outcome is uncertain? The enemy will try to get to you. He’s going to come after the people you love. He’s going to try to confuse you by whispering doubt, stirring up fear, and doing his best to slow you down in whatever way he can. But here’s the truth — he’s already defeated. His mouth has been shut. Go ahead… walk in that victory! Don’t let a beaten enemy convince you that you’re losing a war that Christ has already won.

“I’d be stumbling if I ain’t walk by faith not sight.” Faith isn’t the absence of resistance. It’s choosing to trust the victory of Jesus even when the battle feels close. So, get your spirit right. Put your faith above your fears and doubts. Lean into the name of Jesus, because He has power over every dark thing.

Listen to “Heel Strike” and let it remind you who you are and whose side has already won. Because there “ain’t no doubt we’ll win that good fight.”

(Related scripture: Genesis 3:15; 1 Corinthians 15:57; 2 Corinthians 5:7)

"Take the Wheel" by Bonnie Jean Bailey: Why Surrender Feels So Hard

What are you still holding on to instead of giving it to God?  Three in the morning has a way of exposing what we’ve been avoiding all day. Bonnie Jean Bailey knows that hour well. In her song “Take the Wheel,” she sings about the tossing and turning, being “sick and tired of all this worrying,” and bags so heavy they threaten to burst. Can you picture that? Most of us carry something similar. Possibly we don’t call it a levy as Bonnie does, but the burden isn’t less.  Bonnie points out a pattern that we need to be aware of… “Every time I try to hand it over, I take it back cuz I need control of everything.” Does this sound familiar? We pray about something that is worrying us, feel a moment of relief, and then quietly pick up the burden again an hour or so later.  Bonnie isn’t preaching from a distance here. She’s describing her own tug-of-war between fear and faith. And to be honest, that could also be my tug-of-war that she is describing. Is it also your tug-of-war a...

"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....

"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 ...
