UNDOING HEAVY BURDENS!

RIGHT now, we decree that you are released and free from every heavy burden that is trying to weigh you down. We say that you receive the light and easy yoke of Christ that enables you to rise up and live in wholeness, freedom, peace, and joy. In the Name of Jesus we bind up every lie of the enemy that would make you believe that you will never come out from under the weight of affliction! We command all demonic oppression to come off of you. We say that according to Nahum 1:9, your season of affliction must end and it shall not rise a second time and whom the Son sets free is free indeed. We declare relief, alleviation, and deliverance from the burden created by the demands of life. We speak this over you and say it manifests and rests upon you now!

SCRIPTURE

Then Jesus said, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy to bear, and the burden I give you is light” (Matthew 11:28-30 NLT).

WORD OF ENCOURAGEMENT

When Jesus spoke about us taking His “yoke” upon us, He was using a term that refers to a harness worn by a set of oxen or plowing animals. He was emphasizing that the pressures and demands of this life can tether us to an unseen harness of sorts that causes us to live every day feeling as if we are just plowing through rather than living. It’s like the old saying “surviving not thriving.” What Jesus was saying is that when we live our lives in such a way that we are “harnessed” to or focused on Him, rather than just immersed in all the pressures of this life, we will find that the heavy burdens life can pile upon us are alleviated. Focus today on the Lord’s ability to alleviate those pressures and declare that you are free from every feeling of being burdened down!
