Be Brave


Last weekend my husband and I were at an event called Expolit, which is held every year in Miami. We had the opportunity to meet great people and one of the ministries we were able to meet was Bethel Church from Redding, CA. They had a representation from Bethel Music and we were able to get a hold of their new album, You Make Me Brave. Let me tell you, their music has been on repeat in my car, at work..; everywhere I go. I’m obsessed with their new project!

One of the many songs that I find myself repeating and repeating and repeating is number one, You Make Me Brave. Everything about that song and its powerful lyrics just challenges you to be brave! It’s amazing how lyrics can penetrate your inner being and stir the adrenaline within you.

You Make Me Brave is a call, a cry out to everyone who has been hostage of that big ugly monster called fear. The word says in 2 Timothy 1:7 For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind. Hebrews 4:16 states this: Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need. Just as we can come before God in an act of boldness, we too can face our fears and challenges with that same boldness. We have been given power, not fear. He who is for us is much greater than who is against us.

Today, I encourage you to read these lyrics and listen to this song, if you haven’t already. I challenge you to really believe these words. Be Brave, God is for you and not against you! Everything you set your heart to do, He wants you to succeed. He wants to give you the favor and grace that only He can provide so that whatever He places in your hands can prosper. He wants bigger and better things for you, but you have to believe it and walk out in faith and be brave enough to go after it. He has already made a way for you to walk through and no fear can hinder His promises towards you. You are more than a conqueror. Stand high and walk in total victory because He has made you brave! #BeBrave

Be Encouraged, Be Blessed!

Stand before You now
The greatness of Your renown
I've heard of the majesty and wonder of You
King of Heaven, in humility, I bow

As Your love, in wave after wave
Crashes over me, crashes over me
For You are for us, You are not against us
Champion of Heaven,
You made a way for all to enter in

I've heard You calling my name
I've heard the song of love that You sing
So I will let you draw me out beyond the shore
Into Your grace

You make me brave
You make me brave
You call me out beyond the shore into the waves

You make me brave
You make me brave
No fear can hinder now the Love that made a way

You make me brave
You make me brave
You call me out beyond the shore into the waves

You make me brave
You make me brave
No fear can hinder now the promises You've made
