How to Stay Anchored On A Word X Sarah Jakes Roberts

God I thank you for Breaking Chains God I thank you for seeing what I was anchored to even when I didn't see it myself God I didn't know that it had affected me that deeply I didn't know that I really started feeling that I didn't have any value I didn't realize that I was anchored to something but sometimes God sends a word so that you can see that what you are anchored to has enough power to keep you from moving in the direction of your purpose and when you truly believe that you being Anchored In Jesus makes the difference you get hungry to get yolked up Paul and Silas understood something about being anchored and how being anchored can change your [Music] condition Paul and Silas are sitting in the cell chained up and somebody else's anchors oh God [Applause] but they understood that somebody else's anchors don't change what I'm anchored in so they sitting in the prison cell and they start doing the only thing they can do cuz they can't really move this thing on their own they can't really break this chain on their own but they use the weapon that is available to them because sometimes you can't just flip a switch and make things change but what you can do is change the condition you can change your position in the condition when you decide to Worship in the face of what is oppressing you now I was underneath it but when I worship I get on top of it and Paul and Silas start singing and Paul and Silas start worshiping and all of a sudden chains start breaking I didn't have to manipulate to do it I didn't have to sleep with anybody to do it I didn't have to pretend to be someone I wasn't I just had to step into the fullness of who I am your authentic worship will break the chains of what's trying to keep you [Applause] [Applause] bound My Worship changes where I am positioned in the conditions okay can't change the condition but I can change where I'm positioned I don't have to let this thing whoop me I don't have to let this thing challenge my my worth and my value I can change my position and if I align my position with what God sees then I don't even have to worry about how the condition is going to change I just have to stay aligned with what God knows about me and what I know about him that's why the enemy will always go after what you know cuz if you start questioning what you know then you cannot align and be established in what will bring you breakthrough at minimum you got to have the hope of Jesus as an anchor for your soul that no matter what my condition is I have a hope that is greater than this condition and that hope always shows up for me and that hope always guides me and leads me when we hear the scripture I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me it comes after Paul talking about he could be up and he could be down he could be rich and he can be poor but he said I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me that's his anchor and nautical vessels it is not uncommon for a ship to have more than one anchor because different anchors serve different purposes depending on the conditions I ask them to put an illustration on the board because I just want to show you how different anchors work for different conditions these are just a few but there are literally countless different types of anchors the fluke style anchor is similar to the plow anchor but it's more lightweight it's good for most boats and it gets its holding power from its pointed flukes there's a plow acor that is most effective in Grass mud and sand there's a claw anchor and the claw anchor works well because it resets quickly depending on the condition of where you are headed you will need a different type of anchor oh God it is not uncommon for a vessel to have multiple anchors based on where they're headed so yes I do have to have the hope of Jesus as an anchor for my soul but I also recognize that as I move in the direction of my purpose that God sometimes sends me a specific anchor for a specific condition because God recognizes that in this season you're going to need a different type of anchor you have a different type of anchor when you're at the job than when you're at home messing with the kids I need a different type of anchor for this condition I have a different type of anchor when I'm standing up here versus when I'm listening to my children when I'm here my anchor is speaking when I'm with my children my anchor is listening different circumstances require a different type of anchor Bishop Jake is just as much Bishop Jake as he is Chairman Jake as much as he is the entrepreneur and in those settings but depending on the condition of the room he needs a different type of anchor this is why I have a book that's coming out April 30th It's called Power Moves ignite your confidence and become a Force I wrote this book because I recognized that we were a culture becoming obsessed with one expression of power as long as I show up looking strong and like I have it all together then I'm powerful but I wrote power moves so that we understand that power often moves and sometimes the most powerful thing you can do is not be the strong friend at all sometimes it's being quiet and letting someone else find the strength that God put inside of them tell somebody power moves I wrote power moves so that you understand that the same power that got you through that last season could find you in this season if you stop looking for it to show up in the same way that you've always known it the question has to be God what is the power that is given me this day my daily bread God I don't want to be eating off of stale bread because power moves and I want to move the way that power moves I don't want to lust for the way that power used to be When God says I'm calling you to a new source of power if you don't move when power moves you'll be like the Sadducees and the Pharisees working off of old Power and asking God how do I accomplish what you've called me to do in the earth you can only do it if you move with my [Applause] power because when you understand this fundamentally you recognize that different conditions require different anchors when we find our 70 disciples in this text our 70 disciples are transitioning from having Jesus in his physical form as their anchor into his word being what anchors them oh this is quite a transition because for almost three years he has been their anchor in physical presence but as Jesus heads towards Jerusalem he understands that if you are only used to me showing up in this particular form you will miss that I have different expressions and so he begins training them to be broad enough and vast enough to understand that my word may be the only anchor that you have in this season in other words even when you don't see me it doesn't mean I'm not working that word may be the only see this is a good word for someone who understands that I have been sent into hazardous conditions and I am not as comfortable as I once was but the only thing that I have to keep me grounded in these hazardous conditions are the fact that I got a word from God it's not that it's not dangerous it's not that I feel like I am the woman for the job it's not that I feel like I am the best man on the field it's just that I got a word from God and sometimes a word from God will send you into hazardous conditions because God knows that if you stay anchored to the word it doesn't matter who comes or who goes all that matters is that you stay anchored and why I sent you if you stay anchored and why I sent you it doesn't matter what the conditions are it doesn't matter what your haters say it doesn't matter who is more educated all that matters is is that you stay anchored hit your neighbor and say stay anchored don't you give up stay anchored don't you turn back stay anchored sometimes you need a reminder that I didn't get here by myself that I came here from a word from God and if a word from God sent me a word from God is going to lead me and I won't move until you send another word and I won't go back until you send another word anchored anchored by this word the word is all I got the word is all I need the word is all I got the word is all I need God you told me if I come to this city that you'll go ahead of me and make my crooked path straight so I'm packing up and I'm moving to the city I don't have any friends I don't know what the job is going to be but I'm anchored in the word that you gave me I don't know how I'm going to raise this child but I'm anchored in the word that you gave me I don't know how I'm going to build this ministry but I'm anchored in the words you gave me I'm anchored in this I'm anchored in this and of course the conditions have been violent cuz the conditions are not coming for my finances it's not coming for my marriage the condition is coming for my anchor because you understand if I get off my square that you can take territory but I hear God saying I gave you that territory don't don't you give it up I gave you that territory I gave you that Vision I gave you that child you better stay [Music] anchored 10 toes down 10 toes down stand on business I'm standing on the anchor stand on business I'm standing on what God gave me I'm going to see this [Music] thing I'mma see it to the end I'mma see it to the end the wind and waves are coming but I'mma see it to the end the lies are coming but I'm going see it to the end all hell is breaking loose but I'm going see it to the [Music] end anchored anchored get your weight up you going to have to be anchored for this go talk to your therapist you going to have to be anchored for this go take a nap you going to have to be anchored for this I don't know who you are but God is calling you into a dimension that is going to require you be anchored because they going to pull at you and they going to talk about you and they're going to try and hijack your anchor oh I don't know who you are but I hear God saying you going have to take your anchor back you got to take your anchor back the threat is over your anchor the discouragement is over your anchor somebody in this room you've been dealing with grief and you've been hurting cuz you lost your anchor and you feel lost at se because you don't have your anchor anymore and that anchor came in the form of a person maybe it came in the form of a marriage but you've been grieving that you're not anchored to who you once were and I hear God saying that you were one ship with many anchors and that person you were counting going to be your anchor they may not be here with you in the way that you're used to them being here with you but God said I would never leave you without an [Applause] anchor maybe the marriage has come to an end and your identity was wrapped up in who you were married to or where you were working and now that season is over and I hear God saying I will never leave you without an anchor you are one vessel with many anchors if you would just trust me with this next phase of your life you will understand you're going to feel still rooted again that's the sound of somebody getting back to their anchor [Applause] getting their mind together cuz I haven't been [Applause] anchored Jesus sends these 70 disciples out in hazardous conditions if you read all of Luke 10 you'll see that he tells them I'm sending you out as Lambs amongst wolves man we get so upset with God when he exposes us to Hazard his conditions and there is quite literally nothing in Scripture that suggests that Walking with God means that you avoid hazardous conditions
