Artist Statement

This is the first music video I ever recorded. This song is special because it's a marker in time that I learned of God as a present help and a deliverer. It's a priviledge to understand the multifaceted goodness of God.

How it fits into contest

This fits because its speaks of having a battlefield in your mind and letting God be true. The song speaks of identity and identifying yourself and God and how the two can correlate as one. The armor of God equips you to stand and fight spiritually.Even in sharing and recording this song the bible says we overcome by the blood and our testimony.
