This song was written in honor of the victory that an Alaska Native friend of mine experienced in defeating alcoholism and the demonic influence that once ruled his life. Jesus said that Satan is a thief that comes to kill, steal and destroy (John 10:10). Take time to look up the verses in this song that often talk of physical enemies that give us insight into the spiritual battle with principalities and powers that seek to destroy us. Embrace the promise that Jesus Christ came to give you life and free you from the power of the enemy. He will surround you with His holy angels to defeat the enemy by the power of His Name.
