Shake Off the Weights

Shake Off the Weights

Although I do call you to times of testing my child, not every journey needs to be difficult. For my burden is easy and my yoke is light. If your burden becomes more than what you can bare, know that it was not me that put it on you – but the enemy. For it is the enemy that would try to slow you in your walk.
It is the enemy that would try to distract you from the purpose that I have set before you! So shake off the weights that he has put on your shoulders and reach out for my strength instead. For just as I gave the strength to Samson to push down the pillars and so destroy all of the enemy – so also will I give this kind of supernatural strength to you! I will give you the strength you need to face your enemies. I will give you the strength you need to overcome your bondages.
I will give you the strength you need to shake off the things that are weighing you down. So face your enemy today and realize that I have not put these burdens on you. Realize first where these burdens have come from and then allow me to empower you so that you can shake them off! I am right by your side today my child – come, let us break off these burdens together says the Lord. Amen.
