Burdens - Not a matter to yoke about.

On sunday morning Dr. Mark Barclay was a guest speaker at church. His message very good. His text was Isaiah 10:27

"It shall come to pass in that day..." That day being today.
"That his burden will be taken away from your shoulder. And his yoke from your neck and the yoke will be destroyed" His burden being the 'bad guy's' burden. As christians what can the enemy burden us with? He can burden with all kinds of stuff. Pressure,cancer, worry, debt, and depression to name a few. Same thing with yokes. A yoke is like a necktie. If you grab a hold of the inside tie and pull it real hard you make that person go anywhere you want them to. Some yokes the enemy uses are insecurities, inferiority, and migranes to name a few. These are things he uses to control us. So, how can these burdens be taken away and these yokes be destroyed - God's anoiting. This is not something you can get at the corner store or from your doctor. The only place to get the anoiting is from being in God's presence. The bigger the burden the more anointing you need.

Can Jesus put burdens and yokes on us? Yes, but His yoke is easy and His burden is light. We need to take on His burden and His yoke. His burden is the word and his yoke is to take on His lifestyle.
