“No Longer Afraid” by MA Shalom is a powerful declaration of spiritual victory, faith, and divine surrender. The song chronicles a soul’s transformation from fear and doubt to fearless faith and eternal peace through unwavering trust in God.
Opening with the line “I used to be afraid of death, now I embrace and rest,” the hook sets the tone—a message of peace through faith, rooted in the acceptance of divine will. Each verse builds on this journey, revealing the battles of the mind and spirit against fear, temptation, and spiritual warfare.
In Verse 1, the narrator arms themselves with praise and faith, confronting the enemy’s deceptions with the strength of the Word. Verse 2 emphasizes divine companionship and inner peace, showing how trust in “The Great I AM” brings confidence even amid trials. Verse 3 moves into transcendence, affirming life beyond death and victory over spiritual oppression through the power of God’s light.
The bridge transforms the spiritual struggle into an anthem of triumph—“Jesus said knock you out, I’m gonna knock you out”—symbolizing the moment when faith conquers fear and victory is claimed in Christ.
Closing with peace and assurance, the outro celebrates the eternal rest found in God’s presence.
“No Longer Afraid” is both a testimony and a warfare anthem—a bold proclamation that faith overcomes fear, life transcends death, and the soul’s true home is in divine light.
