My Battle Cry is Jesus !

Philippians 2:10,11 " ...that at the name of Jesus, every knee should bow, in heaven and on the earth and under the earth, and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father."

Hi friends,

Hope you are doing fine. This week I'd like to share with you a song that I came across rather accidentally but which has ministered to me so wonderfully. Its called Battle Cry! (written & recorded by Aaron Lee.) The word battle cry is a word or a phrase that is shouted by soldiers going into battle to express solidarity and to intimidate the enemy. 

This song as I understand it is mainly about how sometimes we get so weary with the constant spiritual warfare coming against us. What we need to remember at such times is that it is not us, but Jesus who will do the warfare for us. He has already won the fight for us (about 2000 years ago) when He died for us on the Cross and was resurrected on the Third Day! We can run to shelter ourselves in the arms of our Lord where we can rest and our wounds can heal. Just like in any war, when the army needs direction , they turn to their Commander who will always give them the right advice at crucial times , in the same way, we too can turn to our Chief Commander Jesus who will guide us with His Voice .He has promised us that His Holy Spirit will never leave nor forsake us. And because of this ,we can march confidently behind the Lord Jesus and be sure that we are more than Conquerors coz this fight He has already won! So our Battle Cry is the name of Jesus - The name above every name!

Do sit back and enjoy this blessed song :

" But by the Grace of God, I am what I am, and His Grace towards me was not in vain; but I labored more abundantly than they all, yet not I , but the grace of God which was in me."- 1 Corin 15:10

Hi friends,

Its been a while since I've jotted down something. Hope you are doing fine in His Grace! I recently came across this beautiful song which has ministered to me through some of the toughest phases in my life!It is a song that comes straight from the Father's heart and resonates with every fiber of my being. Hope it blesses you as much as it blessed me!

No matter who we are, how old or young we are or from which part of the world we come from, it is a common factor that we all want to be understood, accepted and loved. However, often we may be  misunderstood, rejected  and even hated by people who think they know what we are. Yet, we can be grateful for the few people in our life who know us inside and out, our failures and victories, our strengths and weaknesses and love us deeply for who we are. Such is the love of our Loving Father, our Creator. In Psalms 139:13- 16 it says " You knitted me together in my mother's womb....Your workmanship is marvelous! ....You saw me before I was born. Every day of my life was recorded in your book. Every moment was laid out before a single day had passed." This means that no matter what we think or feel or others tell us , we are no accident. We are created by Our Father God for a definite time and purpose. Since He crafted us with His hands , none of what we say, think, do or imagine surprises Him. According to Luke 12 :17 : "Even the number of our hairs is known by Him." That is how intimately He knows us and how unconditionally He loves us. 

Often in life we have to put our best foot forward before we approach people but with God we can come just as we are... there is only love and acceptance for us; His children! Just like a small puppy who has rolled in a muddy puddle and rushes to his Master when He hears him coming, we too can rush into the loving arms of our Lord & Savior no matter how broken and shattered we may be. People may doubt us or speak bad about us but we have a God who sees and knows us and will take us and cleanse us with His Holy Blood and fill us with His Living Word. As David sings in Psalms 40:1-3 : The Lord picked me up from the miry clay, set my feet on a rock to stay; put a song in my mouth to sing ...a song of Praise to my Lord & King." That's what our Lord does with us;  so we can always rest with this assurance in our Heart that our Lord loves us so much that He gave His only begotten Son Jesus to die on the Cross of Calvary for us so that we could enjoy abundant life here on earth and ever after. (John 3:16)

Hope you are blessed and do enjoy this wonderful video of this song by City Alight . Always remember that no matter where you are at this point in your life.  You are known , You are loved! 💓

Have a wonderful week !
