When God speaks a word into our lives, it’s not just a fleeting moment of encouragement; it’s a steadfast anchor that grounds us amidst the tumultuous waves of life. But just as ships face different storms requiring different anchors, we too encounter various challenges that call for specific strategies from God. Let’s dive into the importance of holding onto God’s Word with unwavering faith, even when external forces attempt to loosen our anchor. ___________________________________ Watch the full “Hazardous Conditions” Sermon on the TD Jakes Ministries Youtube page.

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
