JESUS by Hydro Walkers
Dear person listening,
This name stirs up a lot of uncomfortable emotions for some, other it's a safe haven. There's no denying that there is power in this name. The celebrity culture uses it and the church uses it, but both for very different reasons.
Being Halloween time, our culture likes to celebrate and give attention and power to the dark side of the world. So I had this idea to do something different than my usual and implement an edgier, rocky type sound influenced by love for rock bands like Skillet, Red, Ashes Remain, Disciple among many others.
Well this year, as all the things around me started pointing to halloween, fear, ghosts, demons and all these "scary" things I meditated on this idea of fear. At first I thought of how wonderful it is that as Christians we have nothing to fear. In fact, the Bible tells us hundreds of times not to be afraid so I found myself in a spirit of gratitude that my peace is in Jesus. Then I thought of the story in Matthew 8:28 when demons encountered Jesus and asked Him if He came to torture them. Jesus? Torture? Then they begged him, that if He were to cast them out of the men they had possessed, that He would cast them out into a herd of pigs! When He did, they ran off the cliff into water and drown! Demons were scared!
This sparked the idea to go back to this idea of creating something with edge, grit and power! To make sounds that reflect the power of Jesus in a way that scares demons! The name of JESUS carries so much power! They were terrified of Jesus! Isn't it funny how in the fall we get sucked into this "scary" mindset of demons and what they can do but we forget that those demons are terrified of the one who has our back. Who loves us and goes before us! There's a spiritual battle going on, a fight for your soul and I'm glad that Jesus has already defeated hell, death and the grave. We have nothing to fear! Jesus is on our side and He loves you! When demons have you afraid just remind them of their future and the one who lives inside of you! There is power in the name of JESUS!
