Unload yourself

Psalm 55:22 “Pile your troubles on God's shoulders— he'll carry your load, he'll help you out. He'll never let good people topple into ruin.” (MSG)

Last Thursday morning while in prayer and intercession the Lord began to speak a now word to His people. The Lord said that in this season if we are to move forward we must “unload yourself”. When I heard this coming forth I immediately thought of 1 Peter 5:7 Amplified Bible "Casting the whole of your care [all your anxieties, all your worries, all your concerns, once and for all] on Him, for He cares for you affectionately and cares about you watchfully."

I have found that when I am overburdened with carrying my own burdens and cares that I become distracted and unfocused. We have all been assigned by God a portion in His Kingdom. We have all been given a work to do in the earth that glorifies Him and advances the Kingdom of Heaven. In this season more than ever we must remain focused and faithful to pursue and apprehend that which Christ has apprehended us for. The Lord has been speaking this to me for months but as He repeats it in this hour to me it bears repeating to you: This is not the time to back up or back-down. Even as the enemy is prowling around seeking whom he can devour; our God, El Shaddai, is searching the earth for one whose heart is perfect toward Him. 2 Chronicles 16:9 “For the eyes of Jehovah run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him. Herein thou hast done foolishly; for from henceforth thou shalt have wars.”

As we press into the promise in this year of crossing over we must walk, run, and soar in complete freedom. This will require that we cast our cares and burdens on our Lord and allow Him to reign as Lord over every area of our lives. We have truly entered a season of “not my will but Thy will be done”. God is with you; He shall never leave you or forsake you. Arise and go forward now the King of glory has come in.

And the Lord says, There is a spirit of anxiousness that the enemy is bringing about to distract you. This anxiousness is disguised in the heaviness and the load of self-sufficiency. Let My people hear and know today that I Am the ALL-Sufficient One and I will do that which I have promised if you will now unload yourself. You must unload the burden of wanting to do it on our own, on your time and with your limited resources. It is time to run and it’s time to fly but this cannot happen as you are burdened down with heavy loads. There will be dancing, skipping and rejoicing as you release your burdens to Me. Many have been trying to press forward but there are aspects of yourselves that are still burdened down and you must now yield to My Spirit, identify the burdens and cast them unto Me. You have been unable to move with the intensity and tenacity and with the ease and the lightness and freedom that I have desired for you and that you have desired for yourself. The load has entangled you and held you in a place of stagnation. You cannot go forward with this load on your shoulders, so unload yourselves because I have not created you to carry this burden. I will show Myself strong on your behalf as you unload yourself by casting all of your cares, concerns and burdens on Me, your Burden- bearer. I Am the All- Sufficient One and I will sustain you so that you are pressing forward on enlarged and steady footing.
