"HAVING A BURDEN REMOVER!"
2 TYPES OF BURDENS
SELF-INFLICTED BURDEN
GOD-INFLICTED BURDEN = THE BURDEN OF THE CROSS.
I was given a thorn in my flesh, a messenger of Satan, to torment me. Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me. But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you,”
(2 Corinthians 12:7-9 NIV)
HE WILL HELP YOU CARRY THE BURDEN!
Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.
(Matthew 11:28-30 NASB)
HOW TO FIND RELIEF IN GODLY BURDENS:
1. BRING THE BURDEN BACK TO JESUS.
“Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest.
(Matthew 11:28 NASB)
2. “YOKE-UP” WITH JESUS.
Take My yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.
(Matthew 11:29 NASB)
For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.
(Matthew 11:30 NASB)
3. LEARN FROM JESUS & FIND REST IN HIM.
Learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.
(Matthew 11:29 NASB)
LESSON LEARNED: THE GLORY CAN BE FOUND ON THE GROUND.
