As we read through the founding of the church and disciples' ministries on earth, we can see that times were hard. Facing persecution, ridicule, and even death, the disciples cling to the hope of Jesus and his return to help them overcome these difficult times. We can also have this hope through our difficulties. Jesus gives his Holy Spirit to those who believe and follow him. We can have strength to overcome trials knowing that God is with us. We also know that one day Jesus will return and those who follow him will be united with him. These songs and hymns show how we can persevere in difficulty by focusing on the hope we have in Jesus and that one day he will return.

I'm Free: The Enemy's Defeated, Jesus Has Won!There are so many scriptures in God's Word that talk about freedom. If you look at all the amazing things Jesus did on this earth, it was all about bringing freedom to people's lives. Then, of course, we received the ultimate prize of freedom when Jesus died on the cross for all our sin, defeating the works of the enemy! We wrote the song I'm Free to give people a weapon of declaration. “The enemy's defeated, Jesus has won!” When I look at God's Word, the following two scriptures scream out to me, declaring I'm free!“…the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you.” Romans 8:11“Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.” 2 Corinthians 3:17From these two scriptures alone, we learn the amazing truth that freedom lives on the inside of us! No matter what the enemy tries to bind us up in, we have the power in us to break every chain and bondage. Jesus is stronger than anything that may come our way! Whenever you feel like the enemy is trying to weigh you down, declare the verse from this song:Light, Oh I'm feeling so lightLike a weight has been lifted, by YouJesus You are by breakthrough, It's YouI love what Galatians 5:1 says in the amplified version: “It was for this freedom that Christ set us free [completely liberating us]; therefore, keep standing firm and do not be subject again to a yoke of slavery [which you once removed].”There is power in our declaration. No matter what you are facing today, whether it be spiritual or physical, declare God's freedom! John 8:36 (AMP) - “So if the Son makes you free, then you are unquestionably free.”YOU ARE FREE!
