Ephesians 6:12
[12] For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
2 Corinthians 10
For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: for the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds.
The preceding scriptures were shared by recording artist Jeniel Henningham when asked what inspired her new single, Fight. According to the Massachusetts-based singer, she felt led to write the song after reading the Bible verses and coming to a full and complete understanding that we are indeed engaged in spiritual warfare. Henningham went on to say: “The message I want people to take away from this song is that, in order to live a victorious life, we have to start fighting in the spiritual, and then we will live in peace and harmony. (we have been fighting each other for two long) I want everyone to identify the real enemy.”
Fight is a very compelling song that is performed by Jeniel Henningham and longtime friend and colleague Sandra Folkes. Although classified as contemporary gospel, the rhythm, which was composed by both Henningham and Dale folkes, feels very traditional. In its simplicity, it allows the words, i.e., the message, to be the record’s focal point. The same can be said about the official video, which was shared a few days after the song’s release.
Fight is out now on all streaming platforms, and the visuals can be viewed on Jeniel Henningham‘s YouTube channel.
