When it feels like you’re being attacked from all sides, the best defense is to remind yourself of how BIG and powerful God is.

Music is one of the best ways to have those truths repeating in your head. Here are a few tunes that can lift you up when you’re feeling powerless. Have these weapons of praise ready for the next time the enemy comes to try to steal your joy!

1. Raise a Hallelujah | Bethel Music

Praise helps us to focus our minds on God’s truth and power. A melody becomes our weapon when we raise a hallelujah. Give it a try and watch the darkness flee.

“I raise a hallelujah, my weapon is a melodyI raise a hallelujah, heaven comes to fight for me”

2. Trouble | CAIN

CAIN reminds us there’s a battle going on around us that we can’t avoid. Even though it seems like circumstances and people who cross our path cause us trouble, an unseen enemy is trying to get in the way of who God created us to be. So when that enemy causes you trouble, speak the truth and pray for God to help you to overcome. Then you’ll be trouble for the enemy. If you’re fortunate enough to catch CAIN live in concert, you might hear this song proclaimed along with this fun Beatles tune.

“‘Cause the Son of Man, who conquered deathIs living inside of me, I’m gonna be trouble for the enemy”

3. Knock Me Down | We Are Messengers

You’ll want to turn up the volume on this powerful anthem and let it remind you that we are free in Christ. With the power of God, nothing can keep you down.

“No, you don’t get to tell me what I can beGo on talk all you want, but I know what I believe”

4. Mighty Name of Jesus | Hope Darst

Jesus is the ONLY name that has the power to overcome the enemy. Use this song as a declaration to call on the power of heaven. Because in the Mighty name of Jesus, the power of fear and darkness must go! So, you can proclaim “I will not fear”.

“In the mighty name of Jesus, I pray
Calling on the power of heaven, I proclaim
Every weapon formed against me, must break”

5. O Death | Mercy Me

Through the power of the cross, death has no power over us. This fun and upbeat song is sure to get stuck in your head and remind you that the end of the story is not death, but eternal life! In Christ, there is no fear in death. There’s only victory in your future.

“That my Savior rolled away Set you straight and set me free Oh death you are dead to me”

6. Take It All Back | Tauren Wells

Sometimes it feels like the enemy is too powerful for us. Tauren’s anthem helps us to overcome those lies and realize that our God is far more powerful than the enemy. Jesus can help us reclaim the joy, peace, love, life and all the things the devil tries to convince us we don’t have or don’t deserve. Make a decision to not give the enemy any power in your life.

“Tell the devil he don’t own my soulI’m taking back what the enemy stole”

7. Run Devil Run | David Crowder

Crowder’s catchy beats proclaim that with Jesus on our side, there’s no place for the enemy. We can take on whatever comes along in our day with confidence that God has the power to take care of it. There’s nothing left for the devil to do…but run.

“Shake the gates of hell it’s finished and done
I got my Jesus and the devil gotta run”

8. Battle Belongs | Phil Wickham

It’s natural to feel like we need to fight our own battles, but this song reminds us that God is fighting for us. He gives you His armor to wear and the battle belongs to Him. All we need to do is pray. There is nothing impossible for God. He sees and knows what is ahead and the battle… He’s already won.

“Almighty fortress, You go before usNothing can stand against the power of our God”

9. Don’t Tread on Me | We the Kingdom

Righteousness and Truth will prevail and the enemy doesn’t stand a chance. Evil and darkness will have to answer for their futile attempts at distracting us from God’s purpose. In Jesus name, we can tell the devil he has to leave.

“No weapon formed against me shall prosperDon’t tread on me”

10. The Devil Is On The Run | Casting Crowns

The King is on the move and the devil is on the run. Even when the enemy’s lies seem louder than they have ever been. We can sing in victory, never giving up, knowing Jesus is the light that the dark will NEVER overcome.

“One God, one church, one voice lifting only one nameJesus, who makes the gates of Hell tremble and shake”

Ephesians 6:10-18 tells us exactly who our enemy is and tells us all about the armor God gives us to wear to fight him.

“A final word: Be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on all of God’s armor so that you will be able to stand firm against all strategies of the devil. For we are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places.”

Truth, righteousness, peace, faith, salvation, and the Word of God are our weapons that the enemy tries to steal. These weapons are activated by prayer. You can trust God to fight your battles and live a life of freedom and victory. Let’s walk in the freedom Christ has already won for us!
