"It shall come to pass in that day that his burden will be taken away from your shoulder, and his yoke from your neck, and the yoke will be destroyed because of the anointing oil." Isaiah 10:27 NKJV
It may not seem so in times of trouble, but if you belong to Jesus, you have an anointing from God. 1 John 2:20 tells us clearly that: 'But you have an anointing from the Holy One, and you know all things.' Psalm 92:10 also says: 'But my horn You have exalted like a wild ox; I have been anointed with fresh oil.' However, when the pressure is on, you may tend to forget this and allow all the flak to come your way and practically destroy things. Make a decision today, no more. You stand in Jesus and He gives you the victory.
When the pressure is against you, it can feel like the weight of the world's problems are upon your shoulders. Have you felt this way just lately? You may have you quiet time with Jesus each morning and walk with Him throughout the day but, the weight is still there. What is it? The answer to this is burdens. Burdens weigh you down, you worry about them. You give them to God and then take them back and worry some more. 'What about this?' and 'What about that?'
Jesus does not want His born again, anointed people to have heavy burdens upon their shoulders. One minute, everything appears fine and then, the telephone rings and burdens come your way. You cannot prevent bad news; You cannot shake off pain as if it never existed but; you can allow God to take the weight off your shoulders, if you cast it over to Him Psalm 55:22.
What has been happening in your life just lately? Are you feeling good about things or, are you burdened with worry and fear? Think for a moment, if you have an anointing from the Holy One and know all things, as John tells you (above), then surely you know, without doubt that this burden and fear is not yours to carry, it needs to be transferred over to the One who can carry it and dispose of it properly - Jesus. I know this is not easy, I have been there; but it is essential that you do it. Worry kills; fear stops faith, burdens weigh you down so you do not know which way to turn. But you do know the way to turn and that is to Jesus. It is the only way in times such as these.
You have an anointing; you are anointed. Anointed people are special; anointed people know the way forward and this is you. Accept it and move forward accordingly!
