FOUR ANCHORS THAT WILL HOLD YOUR SHIP,-
FOUR ANCHORS THAT WILL HOLD YOUR SHIP,- IN THE MIDDLE OF ANY STORM…
Thelma and I will celebrated our 67th anniversary on June 1st of this year. Like many of you, we have come through some very threatening storms.
Our nation is in a time of upheaval and extreme uncertainty. Satanic efforts to destroy the freedoms and liberties we have always known, and also our Christian way of life, are threatening us on every hand and are constantly seen on every news broadcast.
The experience of Paul on board the ship in the stormy sea, in Acts 27, can speak to us right now. Nobody but Paul believed they could survive that storm. They were in a panic, running back and forth, – throwing up, and tossing every thing overboard they could find to lighten the ship and help their chances. They hadn’t seen the sunshine or the moon and stars in fourteen days. They did everything they could think of but the storm just kept coming. Can’t sleep, wouldn’t eat! They even threw the food away to lighten the ship. They wrapped the ship with ropes, but board by board the ship was creaking and falling apart. Where are we? What are we going to do? Can’t somebody think of something? HELP – SOMEBODY!!! But their voices were almost silenced by the screaming wind and the pounding waves.
I think that is a fairly accurate description of what is happening to our beloved – SHIP USA. But, –they had an anointed believer on board, who knew the voice of God when he heard it. He stood up in the middle of that dismantling ship, while it was crashing on the rocks and cried out: “— keep up your courage, God told me not one of you will be lost. I have faith in God that it will happen just like He told me.” As the story goes, “they dropped four anchors and wished for the day”
Let me give you four anchors that will hold you firm and fearless in the course of the pending storm. They are listed in 1st Cor. 13:
FIRST ANCHOR – LOVE: –
If God is LOVE, then love will never fail you. That anchor gets a good grip on the bottom of the ocean, and the bottom of the ocean doesn’t move. It doesn’t matter what the ocean does, the bottom of the ocean doesn’t move. Love will conquer anything. We are not forced to trust in love, but if you do it will not fail you. Don’t pull anchor on love!
SECOND ANCHOR – HOPE: –
In Hebrews 6:19 HOPE is called “an anchor of the soul, firm and secure” (NIV) Romans 5:5 assures us that ”HOPE maketh not ashamed…” Shame goes with losing, joy goes with winning. David said “What time I am afraid, I will hope in the Lord” Be sure to cast that anchor and don’t pull anchor until these “calamities be overpast”.
THIRD ANCHOR – FAITH: –
Do you remember Jesus question to Peter when he began to sink in the waves, “Wherefore did you doubt” Don’t pull your faith anchor. If you pay attention to the news more than you watch God’s word you will find your self ‘pulling anchor.’ This is the victory that overcomes the world, even our faith”
FOURTH ANCHOR – WORK:
In all of our sixty years of ministry, preaching and doing the word, I have realized something about how God blesses His children. Someone said it this way: “God is a good checker player, if it is your turn to move, – He waits.” God never promised to do my part and His too. Jesus said this, “My father worketh hitherto, – and I work.” When I do everything I know to do and it still isn’t enough, then I can depend on God to do something to make up the difference.
Cast these four anchors, LOVE, HOPE, FAITH AND WORKS, and watch for the day to dawn. Things are going to continually change in this nation. When we do 11 Chronicles 7:14 and keep our anchors connected to the bottom of the ocean we are going to see salvation for us and our children. Do not ever despair, I believe God that it shall be even as he has told us. SELAH!

We get many requests via email and US mail for materials from Africa, India and Pakistan because of our website. www.geralddavis.org When I send materials to one person the word gets around, especially because we send the materials for free and also pay the postage. I am limited on my travels now, but we can still minister in this fashion. Your partnership makes this so much easier. We haven’t had to deny anyone so far. Sometime we send as many as 9 packages in a day to different addresses overseas, and almost daily to someone. Below is one letter we just received via email from a dear lady who was saved and her family. Our partners can rejoice with us on this letter:
“Beloved in the Lord,
… On New Years Eve I opened your book titled A CAUSE AND A CURE FOR UNANSWERED PRAYER AND BLESSINGS NOT RECEIVED by Gerald Davis, that someone here gave me. On the morning of January 1st I took the time to read this material. It was so interesting and captivating… I felt God talking to me. I was sitting on my chair with my eyes closed asking Him to change me and help me follow him. Then I just sat there in silence and I felt him. My head was down on the material and I just kept speaking to Him, I knew He was there. I confessed my sins and received him as my personal savior with my two little girls kneeling down as well. I opened my eyes and felt such joy! Thank you for putting this material here for me. May I request more books?? I know the Lord is going to do great things through the books I am requesting for others who will read it as well.

MY PRAYER FOR THIS NATION AND ITS LEADERS
When I pray for our nation my faith will support this prayer:
That God would send the wind of the Holy Ghost across this nation and awake this giant Christian army once again, – raise us up to be the mighty force that we were created to be. That we stand up and be strong in bold faith to conquer evil. And, that that mighty wind of the Holy Ghost will blow away the chaff, (Psalm One) and rid us of any leadership that is directing us away from the Christian principles that was established in our constitution from the Bible. Yes, my faith will support that kind of prayer. I let God be the judge between the wheat and the chaff.
PLEASE VOTE, – THAT IS OUR WORK. GOD’S WORK IS TO GIVE US DELIVERANCE. WE WILL NEVER GET ANYONE WHO MEETS ALL OF OUR CRITERIA, BUT LET’S VOTE AS CLOSE AS WE CAN GET TO IT.
THANK YOU FOR PRAYING FOR US AND SHARING WITH US!
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Gerald and Thelma Davis
FOUR ANCHORS THAT WILL HOLD YOUR SHIP
