Take my yoke

(1/5) > >>

Musterseed:
Matt.11:28
Come to me , all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
29,,, Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am lowly and gentle
in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.
30,, for my yoke is easy and my burden is light.

From the transcript,, The will of the Father.

So what do I do when I come to you ? “ take my yoke”.... Wait a minute, I am heavy laden
and you want me to take a yoke, isn’t that work?
You don’t pay attention to the words. How many have heard this scripture, come unto me.....
take my yoke....learn from me.... You have all read that. What is a yoke? It’s a connector
bar with two loops that go down around the necks of oxen. Two, it’s for two. Christ didn’t say
“ put a yoke around your neck and drag it around all day and you’ ll do fine.” He said
“ take my yoke . There are two places on a yoke, there are two oxen pulling. The yoke
connects the two oxen and they pull together because there is more power that way.
Christ said “ take MY  yoke and put it on. So if your in one and it’s Christ’s yoke, who is
going to be on the other side? He is pulling the other side. He is right there with you, your
not doing it yourself. Again, when He talks about the yolk, He says” I am meek and humble.”

Thank you Lord. We love you.
In Christ, Pamela

Wanda:
Jesus not only layed down his life for ours, but he continues to take our burdens upon himself.to lighten our load. A love like no other.  We are never alone.

Praise to his glory.

Prune Soleiado:
I thought about 2 Corinthians 2:2 where God tells us, through this letter written by Paul:
"If I make you sad, then who will make me happy? Only you can make me happy - you"
We must rejoice, get rid of the sadeness we could carry in us as a much heavier burden than the one Jesus gives us.
So that we will be able to please God, strenghtened by His word and His grace He gives us in Christ.
Let's be happy, so we can walk lightly on this narrow path, despite the obstacles and holes we could meet on our way.
Because we want to make Our Father happy. For only us can make Him happy, and we Believe His Word.

Heidi:
Pamela, I truly marvel at Gods timing in our lives.  I have read your post before but for some reason today was led by His spirit to reread it again.  I was in need of hearing and applying it for just such a time as now! 

Further to it, before we can take His yoke, we have to take off the one we have been carrying with whatever idol of the heart was on the other side.  This morning He showed me that and just as He said I am meek and humble, I was truly humbled by this lesson to me.  Hopefully this testimony can mean something to others on the forum.

We are a work in progress, thank God that we are!  Take off your yoke that is burdening you ask Him to show you how and put on His yoke!

Love you my sister  :)
Heidi
