1 Corinthians 3:11 For no one is empowered to lay an alternative foundation other than the good foundation that exists, which is Jesus Christ! TPT
My Anchor Holds During These Sudden Winds Of Change
Change is happening, suddenly, quickly and veraciously. How does one cope with it? This violent force of fear, the whirlwinds of our enemy that shake us to our inner spiritual core, can we endure it? Chaos has been ushered in by our enemy in times such as these, and these deceptive, dramatic and drastic changes in our life security, want to steal our God focus. Don’t yield to the lies of the enemy that what once was, is no longer the same, and you have been forsaken. Jesus is a firm foundation in the all of our everything and He will never relinquish His Supremacy to another. God Almighty, He is Sovereign over us always and forever, with a Rulership of Infinite Love. In Christ Jesus, we have a forever freedom, in His truth we are anchored, we remain free and fearless, unbound by the enemy’s chains of chaotic change. We are anchored in the truth, yet battered by the false narratives and fake reality of our times. Our anchor will hold: Listen up to this 1 Minute Encouragement video.
“Does now hit you with a stabbing pain in your side every time you move a certain way? Does it contain a person who so completely misunderstands you, nothing you say or do seems able to change their mind and see the truth? Whatever it is, this is when God’s Word works. In real time and space. Right smack-dab in the middle of your now reality. Oddly, however, we tend to disconnect the two—our current reality and God’s present ability. Somehow, we overlook the nearness of God when we are caught up in the rhythm of life, dancing to the drumbeat of our personal issues. We stay too tired or angry or frazzled to remember that God can work on our behalf now.” Shirer, Priscilla.
For against its will the universe itself has had to endure the empty futility resulting from the consequences of human sin. But now, with eager expectation, all creation longs for freedom from its slavery to decay and to experience with us the wonderful freedom coming to God’s children. Romans 8:20-21 TPT; For it is God’s will for you to silence the ignorance of foolish people (those who do not know God) by doing what is right. As God’s loving servants, you should live in complete freedom, but never use your freedom as a cover-up for evil. 1 Peter 2:5-16 TPT; But now, as God’s loving servants, you live in joyous freedom from the power of sin. So consider the benefits you now enjoy—you are brought deeper into the experience of true holiness that ends with eternal life! Ro. 6:22 TPT
Rock Solid Rulership Of Love
Humanity has a shaky foundation, but in Christ, anchored to the Solid Rock, our foundation fails us not. So, as our world rapidly changes all around us, and nothing is familiar or comfortable, we are shaken up by the force of evil, but not forsaken. Our anchor holds us steady by the trustworthy and powerful hand of God, Christ in us, the hope of glory. Bullied on every side, persecuted for good things, now flip-flopped as bad, as what is right is wrong and what is wrong is right, we struggle with pressing our face to the cultural whirlwinds. As extreme lawlessness seems to mob-rule over us, we know the reality of Truth, of a future and a hope that darkness can never extinguish the light of. We lean into the Sovereign Sway of our Awe-God, and keep our feet firmly planted on the Rock-Solid Rulership of His Love, in His Providential Care, we are equipped, and our life anchor holds.
Psalm 62:3 How long will you gang up on me? How long will you run with the bullies? There’s nothing to you, any of you – rotten floorboards, worm-eaten rafters, 4 Anthills plotting to bring down mountains, far gone in make-believe. You talk a good line, but every “blessing” breathes a curse. 5 God, the one and only – I’ll wait as long as he says. Everything I hope for comes from him, so why not? 6 He’s solid rock under my feet, breathing room for my soul, An impregnable castle: I’m set for life. 7 My help and glory are in God 8 So trust him absolutely, people; lay your lives on the line for him. God is a safe place to be. The Voice
Evil Chaos Interrupting Our Civility
In the midst of the evil induced chaos of our time, we don’t focus on what we see, we focus on what we know. The reality of truth is the reactions of people whose lives are controlled by evil chaos, are lawless, compassionless, void of common sense and devaluing our civility, but our foundation has not changed, Jesus is the same today, tomorrow and forever. Without civility, there is no doubt, our freedom will fail our nation will fall from within. But, our solid Rock foundation, in Jesus, is not shaken, our freedom in Him is secure. Therefore, from every moment to every choice, we decide to make the next right choice. No matter how loud our feelings are screaming to react, we respond to God first, opening our soul wide to Him and He soul saturates us with His Peace, which surpasses everything we think we know. Listen up to this 1 Minute Encouragement Video and hear God’s Voice of wisdom for times such as these:
My divinely loved friends, since you are resident aliens and foreigners in this world, I appeal to you to divorce yourselves from the evil desires that wage war within you. Live honorable lives as you mix with unbelievers, even though they accuse you of being evildoers. For they will see your beautiful works and have a reason to glorify God in the day he visits us. 1 Peter 2:11-12 The Passion Translation
People are drawn toward God, not through bold arguments, but by passionate godliness. We must be passionate about doing the right thing. Our actions tell the story. Our lives are living parables, shouting the mystery of godliness. The Voice Commentary Titus 2
Stand Firm-Secure In Christ
How do we stand firm as our human condition shakes the hell out of our comfort zone and leaves our soul exposed to the harsh realities of a deplorable humanity, within our personal space, up in our face? Are you anchored to The Solid Rock, Jesus? This is a firm foundation. Your anchor will hold through this stormy life season. You will be a light that shatters the darkness as you live in the power of Christ and stand firm on the sinking sands of this world. In the midst of the violent chaos of times such as these, we can do the next right thing as we dig our life roots deeply in God’s Kingdom, listen up and are navigated by His Holy Spirit.
But these are not the end. These are the birth pangs, the beginning. The end is still unfolding. They will hand you over to your enemies, who will torture you and then kill you, and you will be hated by all nations because of Me. And many who have followed Me and claimed to love Me and sought God’s kingdom will turn away—they will abandon the faith and betray and hate one another. The love that they had for one another will grow cold because few will obey the law. False prophets will appear, many will be taken in by them, and the only thing that will grow is wickedness. There will be no end to the increase of wickedness. But those who do not waver from our path and do not follow those false prophets—those among you will be saved. Matthew 24:8-13 The Voice
