Words have power. The words we speak over ourselves and the words others speak over us can impact us for good or bad. Why? Because when we agree with the words we hear—for better or worse—they shape our beliefs. Whether we notice that or not, what we believe shapes how we live; that’s why the message of “What He Says About You” by contemporary Christian band Unspoken is so essential.
You and I must reflect on what God says about us, as this is how we can resist Satan’s lies that attempt to deceive us. This reflection also allows us to experience the freedom and abundant life God has in store.
When there are beliefs that hold a tight grip on our minds that oppose the truth of what Jesus says, we can tear them down through God’s power by making them obedient to Christ. Simply put, we replace wrong beliefs by agreeing with the truth of what Jesus says. And those pesky lies that try to rob us of walking in the identity, purpose, and hope God has for us start to lose their power.
Ask God to show you what lie you might be believing and to show you from His Word what the truth is, and start believing God’s truth. Knowing God’s truth sets you free, according to John 8:32.
As you listen to Unspoken's new song, remember that your discouraged thoughts do not define you. You aren’t what Satan or this world says you are. You are what Jesus says about you.
2 Corinthians 10:3-5 (NLT): “We are human, but we don’t wage war as humans do. We use God’s mighty weapons, not worldly weapons, to knock down the strongholds of human reasoning and to destroy false arguments. We destroy every proud obstacle that keeps people from knowing God. We capture their rebellious thoughts and teach them to obey Christ.”
Lyrics
You had a light Till somebody stole it The words that they said cut you like a knife They called you a name You started to own it You hear the echoes in the dead of night Tired of the cheap shots comin’ at you nonstop Leavin’ marks on your heart like a tattoo Drowning on the inside, reaching for a lifeline Let these be the words that you hold onto
You are loved Chosen Long before the day you were born You are held Forgiven Treasured more than you’ll ever know
When the lies get loud Let the truth ring out Till the only thing you’re listening to Is what He says about you (What He says about you) What He says about you (What He says about you) What He says about you (What He says about you) What He says about you (What He says about you)
