Artist Statement

There is a spiritual battle with images from the media. We are consumed with negative images, thoughts and situations, but it all can be overcome by the renewing of our minds.

How it fits into contest

The video shows all the ways, the ruler of darkness uses media to transform our minds. It's subtle, it's entertaining, all while we are falling into a dark place that jeopardizes our souls. But we must turn away, put on the armor of God, stay in prayer and renew our minds.

Transcript / Lyrics

I've done made a few mistakes, thank God I didn't break, I've done made some foolish choices, nothing that I should be rejoicing. I hate that I let you down, your love sticks around, these are the lessons learned, but you brought me out somehow, I've tried to make it work, but I ended up hurt, I've had enough of this, all the love that I missed, So what do I do lord, you give me more, I trust your love.

I've done learned this lesson lord, want do that no more, thought my way was right, almost lost my life, I'm so glad you came through, and you restored me to, when I was going through, didn't know what to do, I've tried to make it work, but I ended up hurt, I done had enough of this, all the love that I missed, so what do I lord, you give me more, I trust your love.

(Prayer) In the name of Jesus, I want to say thank you, thank you, father for delivering me, Lord the things that had been holding me down, Lord the things I thought I couldn't get deliverance from, I just want to say thank you, thank you Jesus, thank you Jesus, the blood of Jesus has so much power.

Go away pain, Go away trouble, Go away heartache. .............
