So many good messages from so many verses in this song! It was hard to pick which direction to go. In fact, I have been meaning to do a blog post on this song for months, but I couldn’t decide which part of the song to address. That debate was settled during my Spiritual Warfare class I took through my church. The teacher, in answering a question, cited 1 John 4:4. The lyrics from this song immediately popped into my head, and sure enough, this song directly quotes that verse. Since the message of this song, and the music is upbeat, I didn’t automatically think it was about spiritual warfare, but listen closely, and you’ll notice mental strongholds are addressed. The fact is that we are mentally attacked by Satan. He wants to pull us away from Jesus. One way he tries? He manipulates thoughts. Shame, doubt, fear, pain, anger, guilt, suicidal thoughts, unworthiness: none of these messages come from Jesus. The great news? If we have accepted Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior, we have the power of Jesus living inside of us through the Holy Spirit. And Jesus is greater than those voices. He is greater than those who put us down. He is greater than our daily battles. He is greater than Satan. Jesus. Is. Greater. And He loves you, cares about you, and redeems you. That is the best news! When you find yourself in a spiritual battle, rely on the most powerful ally you can ask for: Jesus Christ.
