Supernatural Encounters With Jesus: Anxiety Healing

As the year 2025 rolled in, I noticed I had begun to feel a mind-numbing anxiety.

And it wasn’t anxiety stemming from anticipation about the new year and what it might bring. No. This felt… different. It felt like I was wandering through a lonely airport, dragging heavy baggage that didn’t even belong to me.

These feelings were strange, especially because, in reality, I wasn’t worried or anxious about anything at all.

I felt this way for days on end—racing heart, light-headedness, gasping for breath intermittently throughout each day, and a gnawing sense of foreboding.

On one of those days, I was randomly watching YouTube when a sermon popped up. During the sermon, the pastor said, “There are some of you in this room, and you’re feeling anxiety that is not yours.” And I was like, “Wow, that’s me!

That night, I spoke to God about this misappropriated anxiety. And He spoke back. I had a dream.

In the dream, I saw myself getting ready for my morning road walks, just as I usually do in real life. I have a routine where, as I’m putting on my workout clothes, I ask my Google Nest to play my favorite upbeat song to help boost my energy for the long walk ahead. “Hey Google, play… by…”

Then I heard the Holy Spirit say:

“This particular song is the root cause of your anxiety. There’s a specific drum pattern in the song that is affecting your mind. The singer actually has no idea what impact the song’s composition and lyrics are having—because she didn’t write or produce it. They just gave it to her, and she sang it.”

When I woke up the next morning, I resolved never to play that song again. Not only that—I completely purged my workout playlist of all songs of that nature. And from that moment, the anxiety completely disappeared.

This experience taught me the importance of guarding my ear gates. What we hear has a profound impact on us. So be careful what you expose your ears to – it just could be the cause, or contributor of some feelings of unease you may be experiencing.
