Join John to explore the songs we sing and why we sing them. This week, he thinks about how listening and worshipping to "See a Victory" by Steven Furtick, Ben Fielding, Jason Ingram and Chris Brown can be a powerful weapon in the battles we face. This song reminds us that the battle belongs to the Lord - "He gives us victory over sin and death through our Lord Jesus Christ." 1 Cor 57. So continue to trust in God as He fights for us. Remember that our battle is spiritual - "we are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places". Eph 6:12 Dear Friends, How do you deal with fear? The next video in our series about seeking God in Song is available HERE. Why not take the opportunity to allow God to minister to you His truths about His love as you enjoy listening to ‘No longer a slave to fear’.
