Anchor Yourself To Jesus
Storms ahead! Do I dread. No. Got A Life Storm Looming? It is challenging to our faith to watch these life storms roll in. Do I respond to challenges first with prayer, asking God for the protection and provision that I need and the prayerful standing on the Promises of God? This is a good question to check our heart condition with. It is probably not the best to try to figure things out on our own, and try to fix things, because we can’t but Jesus can, and He will, as we listen up to Him, hear, obey and prayerfully, heart to heart, stay in followship of Him. Anchor your life roots to Jesus.
“Anchor yourself firmly to Me, leading others to do the same. Cling harder and dig your roots deeper in kingdom soil. I am allowing this spiritual storm to come to the shores of your country and when it hits, I want you to make sure you are securely and wholeheartedly attached to Me, your sustenance in your all and everything, The Vine—Jesus-—Your Bridegroom! Anchor your soul, tie it off to My Holy Spirit. My Bride, set your mind in Christ Jesus, position yourself in the grace of Almighty God, stand upon His living word and humbly-prayerfully watch and see. This whirlwind is destined to come to the shores of humankind, do not fight against it, because I Am in this windfall. My kingdom plan purposely puts you in the midst of this storm, but I assure you, you will not be swept into the core of it; you will never be far from Me or lost from Me as My kingdom purposes are set in play all around you. I will not forsake you. I will not leave you. I will never abandon you, even if it feels like all hell is breaking loose, “I AM!” Church, I am your living sanctuary, your place of safety; I am your anchor in the storm. Jesus.” Excerpt From Book: The Bridegroom’s Voice
Do not call conspiracy everything these people regard as conspiracy. Do not fear what they fear; do not live in dread. The Lord of Hosts is the One you shall regard as holy. Only He should be feared; only He should be dreaded. Bind up the testimony and seal the law among my disciples. I will wait for the Lord, who is hiding His face from the house of Jacob. I will put my trust in Him. Isaiah 8:12-13, 16-17 BSB
Got Dread? Shake It Off!
The best decision is casting off the dread fear and anxiety, and activating our faith, not in the seen, but in the unseen where Jesus is purposefully at work for our good and His Glory. Honestly We Just Need Jesus…The only One Who will Never Leave Or Forsake Us. God With Us! Forever His! God never leaves us in the storms, and He is with us in the quiet, He is always consistently with us, and there is no doubt about it! Dread is from the enemy of our soul to keep us focused on everything fear based and to stop us from activating our gift of faith. We have been gifted faith from God, we can see past what we see to what we hope for and this shatters dread in a million pieces as the light of God ushers in the reality of truth in the Promises of our God.
He keeps all his bones; not one of them is broken. 21 Evil shall cause the death of the wicked; and they who hate the just and righteous shall be held guilty and shall be condemned. 22 The Lord redeems the lives of His servants, and none of those who take refuge and trust in Him shall be condemned or held guilty.Psalm 34:19-22
We Have A Deliverer
Yes, we say no to dread and then it is not just about our spirit and soul, being well, it also becomes about our attitudes, emotions and actions coming in alignment with the Promises of God, as we begin acting like we believe in Jesus and that we believe Him, everything last Word He spoke, we believe. Yes, life storms come, and they go, but God stays consistently strong and trustworthy to deliver us. Our Life Storms may be many, but God, delivers us out of them all, and has provided us with a future heavenly hope where our soul enemy is no more. Listen up to this 1 Minute Encouragement Video, a lot of truth to feed your faith with. Short and Truthful God exhortation:
“My bride, you have an eternal treasure embedded deep within your heart. I am your Lord, your everlasting seed. Humankind as you know it is coming to an end and this age that you value will conclude when I return. You cannot control the decisions of your world government. Does this frighten you? If it does, I ask you this: what are your heart-strings tied to? Are you a citizen of heaven or are you a permanent resident of earth Today, I appeal to you to not fear the unexplainable, but to trust Me; I am Lord of the Kingdom of God, the dominion that will reign forever. Jesus.” Excerpt From Book: The Bridegroom’s Voice
Jesus Joy = Strength
We go from faith to faith and our healthy God nourished faith translates into good attitudes, godly character, and holy actions of love and service out of a pure heart, and a wholly-holy devotion to God. It is in this heart to heart relationship with our Father God, that our faith activates into His goodness in our character, and His sacrificial love in our actions of caring, and serving others. Dread is shaken off, so me, myself and I, are not on the throne of our life. Yes we walk by faith and we trust God first, serving a power higher than self want, as we love Jesus First, serve God and His Kingdom first, and then serve and love others. If we seek first God’s Kingdom, dread, fear, anxiety falls by the wayside, and everything else falls into such pleasant soul places. It is well with our soul because the love of Jesus is always with us and His JOY is our strength.
But seek (aim at and strive after) first of all His kingdom and His righteousness (His way of doing and being right), and then all these things taken together will be given you besides. 34 So do not worry or be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will have worries and anxieties of its own. Sufficient for each day is its own trouble. Matthew 6:33-34
For the gospel reveals the righteousness of God that comes by faith from start to finish,For in it is revealed the righteousness of God from faith to faith just as it is written: “The righteous will live by faith.” Romans 1:17
So devote yourselves to lavishly supplementing your faith with goodness, and to goodness add understanding, 6 and to understanding add the strength of self-control, and to self-control add patient endurance, and to patient endurance add godliness, 7 and to godliness add mercy toward your brothers and sisters, 8 Since these virtues are already planted deep within, and you possess them in abundant supply, they will keep you from being inactive or fruitless in your pursuit of knowing Jesus Christ more intimately. 2 Peter 1:5-8
It is also possible to view this passage as a mathematical equation. Faith + goodness = understanding. Goodness + understanding = inner strength. Understanding + inner strength = patience. Inner strength + patience = godliness. Patience + godliness = mercy. And godliness + mercy = love
Yahweh, you alone are my inheritance. You are my prize, my pleasure, and my portion. You hold my destiny and its timing in your hands. 6Your pleasant path leads me to pleasant places. I’m overwhelmed by the privileges that come with following you! 7 The way you counsel me makes me praise you more, for your whispers in the night give me wisdom, showing me what to do next. 8 Because I set you, Yahweh, always close to me, my confidence will never be weakened, for I experience your wraparound presence every moment. 9 My heart and soul explode with joy—full of glory! Even my body will rest confident and secure. Psalms 16:5-9
“David had made his heart and mind to be identical with the heart and mind of God. Always before himself, before anything, were the desires of God. It was the heart and mind of God that had first place in David’s heart and thoughts.” TPT Commentary
Keep Jesus First In Your Life

Yes, begin this day shaking off dread, fear and anxiety and put on the garment of praise, the truth of God, and activate your faith in Christ Jesus. Christ in us, the hope of glory.

Awake, awake, clothe yourself with strength, O Zion! Put on your garments of splendor, O Jerusalem, holy city! For the uncircumcised and unclean will no longer enter you. 2 Shake off your dust! Rise up and sit on your throne, O Jerusalem.Remove the chains from your neck, O captive Daughter of Zion. 7 How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of those who bring good news, who proclaim peace, who bring good tidings, who proclaim salvation, who say to Zion, “Your God reigns!” 8 Listen! Your watchmen lift up their voices, together they shout for joy. For every eye will see when the Lord returns to Zion. 9 Break forth in joy, sing together, O ruins of Jerusalem, for the Lord has comforted His people; He has redeemed Jerusalem. 13 Behold, My Servant will prosper; He will be raised and lifted up and highly exalted.
