'Laying Down Our Weapons' by Reflect Church: Trusting God in Turbulent Times


Reflect Church's song, 'Laying Down Our Weapons,' came from a very rough patch three years ago. Sats Solanki writes: 'There was a lot of injustice and everything in me wanted to fight back and assert my space. I felt like the Holy Spirit gave me a word to lay down my weapons and trust him with it all.' Sats continues: 'Fast forward to today and I know that the fruit of that decision has blessed my family so much.'

Reflect Church - Laying Down Our WeaponsThe lyrics of 'Laying Down Our Weapons' encourages us to stop our battles and fill ourselves with praise. Just listen to the first verse: 'When darkness falls and light cannot be seen, still I'll wait for you to be revealed.' You can try to fight the darkness, but better yet, switch your focus and be aware that God's love is ever-present. Look for the moment that He will reveal Himself, because He is there by your side, no matter how dark life may seem.

It's essentially a change in your mindset that leads you to the same declaration in the chorus: 'We're laying down our weapons and picking up our praise.' Making a conscience choice to shift your response from fight to praise, and from doubt to trusting that 'our victory is certain'.

Reflect Church emphasizes that God is the stable factor in every equation. True peace can be found by seeking Him.

Interesting detail… The release date of this song coincided with unrest, riots and violence across the UK. Reflect Church obviously couldn't have planned this, but it does feel prophetic in many ways, and encourages us to be peacemakers.

Give 'Laying Down Our Weapons' a listen. Let it minister to your heart and encourage you to spread His peace to the world around you.

(Related scripture: 2 Chronicles 20:15; Philippians 4:6-7; Romans 12:19)

Bryan & Katie Torwalt has released a Christian Contemporary Music (CCM) track called Miracle In The Works. LYRICS: Some may say it’s hopeless They must have never met my God  Some may say it’s over But it was finished on the cross Some may say it’s broken But the Healer’s in the room  Some may say it’s hopeless But I know    God’s about to move...   There’s a miracle in the works I can feel it There’s revival in the church I believe it   Some may see an ocean But He’s made a highway through Some may see a mountain  But we’ve seen a mountain move Some may see a graveyard But we’ve seen His empty tomb Some may see a battle But I know   Reignite us, reawaken Breath of God, come breathe again Like the dry bones started shaking All that died will live again  Oh the miracle You’re making The beginning not the end Eternity is waiting  To see Your church alive again   You are my miracle Jesus You are my miracle   #BryanandKatieTorw...
