May 19, 2020 Anchor in the Wind

The Lord has made it very clear that judgment is coming upon the earth.  He uses many different phrases for judgment, but lately He has been using the phrase “winds from the north”.  Winds that blow from that direction are harsh and strong, often bringing severe storms when the two opposing winds of warm and cold air collide.  In the spirit realm there are two distinct forces, Almighty God and satan, that are contending for the souls of men, and they are in direct opposition to each other. 
 
The wind is coming from the north and the south
The winds will merge, the wind is coming against thee
I have called you this day to cry out before Me
Take a position to cry out to Me
The great wind will come against thee who have sinned
There is a remnant I want to save
I have positioned you to stand before My throne room
Pray this very day, stop the winds
I have called you to pray
The storm is deep beneath the waves.

Hebrews 6:18-19 “…we might have strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold of the hope set before us. This hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast, and which enters the Presence behind the veil.”
 
When these strong winds blow, those who have put their trust and faith in Jesus Christ can rest secure in God Almighty. He will be their anchor in any wind that blows.  But how can we be anchored?
 
Isaiah 11:2-3 The Spirit of the LORD shall rest upon Him, The Spirit of wisdom and understanding, The Spirit of counsel and might, The Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD. His delight is in the fear of the LORD, And He shall not judge by the sight of His eyes, Nor decide by the hearing of His ears;
 
Isaiah shows us seven things Almighty God has given to everyone who believes in His Son, Jesus Christ, as their Savior, to help us stand in the midst of storms:

• Holy Spirit – our helper who is always with us
• Wisdom- shows us how to live in holiness
• Understanding- able to discern what is really going on
• Counsel- using what God has revealed to us and sharing it with others to encourage them in their walk with the Lord
• Strength – we need to be strengthened and we need to strengthen others
• Knowledge – we must know God and His Word
• Fear of the Lord- respect and honor God above everything else - reverence

​Great times of judgment and testing are coming to the people of the earth, and we are beginning to see them. How will we react to these strong and fierce winds?  I urge you to run now and anchor yourself to the only hope we have, Almighty God! Get to know Him through His Word and though your times of prayer and worship in the secret place.
 
This wind has a focus, and it is raging at thee
The battleground is there all around
I want you to anchor your feet in the ground
The wind will blow and you will stand strong, you see
Do not allow it to intimidate thee
Oh but when it comes, wrap yourself completely around Me
I will be the anchor, you see, the anchor of faith that is inside of thee
You will anchor yourself, and anchor yourself to Me
(Excerpt from prophetic word spoken May 17, 2020)
