Releasing the Heavy Burdens
Published: Thu, 10/15/09
Dear ,
I've received many emails lately from women who are under heavy burdens. They are burdened by health concerns, financial disasters, relationship challenges, and other distressing situations. While I pray for every concern, God gave me a specific message related to one email I received and God told me that it applies to all of his people. And I want to share that with you because I know it will deliver many.
God never intended for his people to be burdened. True, we will have challenges to deal with in this life, but God never built us to carry them. That is why so many people are depressed, anxious, worried, fearful and seeking escape through addictions. Because deep down they know that they are fighting a losing battle and they don't know how to cope.
And yet, the solution is so simple.
In Isaiah 46:3-4, God says:
"Listen to Me, O house of Jacob,
And all the remnant of the house of Israel,
Who have been upheld by Me from birth,
Who have been carried from the womb:
Even to your old age, I am He,
And even to gray hairs I will carry you!
I have made, and I will bear;
Even I will carry, and will deliver you."
The solution is to surrender your burdens to God - to declare that you are transferring control of yourself and all that is under your authority - your body, mind, will, emotions, family, finances, your very life - under new management, under kingdom control.
But in order to release the burden and turn it over to God, you must trust him and you cannot fully trust him unless you are convinced that God loves you.
When you are convinced of his love, you want to draw near to him. As you draw near to him, he draws near to you and reveals himself to you. You know him and you grow in faith. As you grow in faith, you grow in trust. Do you see how beautifully that works?
Unfortunately, so many people shrink from a relationship with God because they are nursing unforgiveness, negative emotions, past mistakes, and secret sins and think that God condemns them for it.
But I've got news for you: God knows everything about you and he loves you anyway. And praise God, there is forgiveness and deliverance through Jesus Christ! There is NO condemnation in him. He loves you exactly where you are and all you need to do is receive his love and he will empower you to walk in the Spirit so that you will not fulfill the lusts of the flesh.
When you refuse to accept the reality of God's love for you through Christ Jesus (a gift of grace - unmerited favor), it is like shutting the door in his face. You also shut the door on his ability to intervene in your life and lift your burdens.
God gave me a process to release burdens and transfer your life over to kingdom control. It is too long to put in this email but I will include a link to the process for those who are tired and are ready to go through life unburdened.
But the first step for release is to have a deep revelation of how much God loves you. So this is my prayer for you from Ephesians 3:14-20:
"For this reason I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, from whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man, that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height - to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.
Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen."
Meditate on this word and tell God that you are opening your heart to him so that you can receive the fullness of his love through Christ.

If you know others who are burdened, please pass this message to them as well.
I praise God for his delivering power. May the saints of God wake up, shake off burdens, and manifest his glory to a world that desperately needs him!
