For those who feel weak and heavy-laden
Come to me you who are weak and heavy laden and I will give you rest. (Matthew 1:28) Give your burdens to me and I shall deal with them. To those who have laboured under a spirit of heaviness and of depression, I have a new anointing to release to you. For you, I am about to define and bring a sharpness to the lines that divide righteousness and wickedness, truth and lies.
So I say to you, ‘Love righteousness and hate wickedness!’ with a passion and I will anoint you with the oil of gladness and joy. Trust me and I shall destroy that yoke of heaviness and depression from off of your back and head (Isaiah 10:27). Submit to me and know the freedom that I will bring.
Psalm 45:6-7Â (NASB)
Your throne, O God, is forever and ever; A scepter of uprightness is the scepter of Your kingdom. You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness; therefore God, Your God, has anointed You With the oil of joy above Your fellows.Â
Isaiah 61:3Â
To grant those who mourn in Zion, Giving them a garland instead of ashes, The oil of gladness instead of mourning, The mantle of praise instead of a spirit of fainting. So they will be called oaks of righteousness, The planting of the LORD, that He may be glorified.
