False Responsibility

Beloved, I carry the world in my hands and yet I still have room for a million more. The depths of my capacity are infinite beyond measure.

I am pleased when you partner with Me to release My Kingdom on the Earth. However, I do not expect you to carry around all the burdens that come with that. I intend for My yoke to be easy and My burden to be light so you can fly high and accomplish many great things.

The enemy wants you to think you have to bear it all and fix everything for yourself and those around you. This is called false responsibility, and it makes you think you have to be Jesus to the world. That is not what I expect from you! It only makes you feel anxious and inadequate.

I want you to be free from false responsibility. 

Will you release it to Me? 

I promise I can carry it all. I am ready to unburden you now and bring you into the fullness of your freedom where the only thing you have to carry is the weightless fruits of My Spirit.

Activation: Assess what you have taken upon yourself as false responsibility, whether it pertains to yourself or those around you. This could be worry, concern, grief, sadness, control, stress, co-dependence, guilt, shame, etc. Accept the truth that none of these negative things belong to you, and carrying them around only weighs you down. Meet with Jesus. Lay it all down and let Him take it, for He can carry it ALL. Repent and receive your new garment of praise. Then go and run your race with your newfound freedom, carrying only the weightless peace, hope and joy that comes with co-laboring with God.

Matthew 11:28-30 (NIV)

Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, 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.

Psalm 68:19-20 (NIV)

The Lord deserves praise! Day after day he carries our burden, the God who delivers us. Our God is a God who delivers; the Lord, the sovereign Lord, can rescue from death.
