John 14:25-26 NLT ~ “I am telling you these things now while I am still with you. [26] But when the Father sends the Advocate as my representative-that is, the Holy Spirit-he will teach you everything and will remind you of everything I have told you.”
Are you weary? Tired? Can’t sleep? Have a dozen and one deadlines to meet? A ton of things to do and to fix? And to top it off, you have taken on someone else’s responsibilities also, with your problems and their burdens and they expect you not to complain or grow weary or get tired in the process? But after a while you start to realize that you are carrying too much baggage and luggage, and you need to lighten your load. As I thought about everything that I carry this scripture came to me, Matthew 11:28, “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.”
It’s like this, have a scripture ever just came to your mind and when you read it, you had read and to re-read it again and again, because you knew it was just what you needed to hear, and at that moment, you could see the light, and this is what happened when I read Matthew 11:28 again, the “Come to Me” got my attention! Did you hear that, Jesus said, “Come To Me!” It was at that moment that I realized that I hadn’t given everything over to God, like I said. Please give this stuff over to Him. I was weighing myself down trying to be everything for everyone at all times.
Have you ever done any of the stuff above! This scripture became the ointment for my soul, and when I truly processed these three words that Jesus said, “Come to Me” my load got lighter and the burdens of my heart rolled away, this is just like God, He is the greatest of Great Teachers, for His word says bring it to me and let me help you. Matthew 11:29-30, “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. [30] For my yoke is easy and my burden is light!” Do you need some help today, take it to Jesus, there is enough ointment for you, the Word of God is Ointment for your soul that only He can give you!
When you are going through something do you wonder how a scripture comes to your mind? Your Teacher, The Holy Spirit, reminds you. The Holy Spirit has one specific mission, and that is to teach you a valuable lesson! Your Father in Heaven knew that you would need some help, so He sent you someone to help you and, to teach you all things, and He will remind you of everything that He has said. This is not just good news; but this is Great News!
The Spirit of God has been and will always be present and moving in your life, teaching, leading and guiding you. When you Come to Him, you will find all the revelation that you need. God has entered into His classroom, and He is ready to teach you, the question is are you ready to learn from Him? Matthew 11:29! He will reveal Himself to you and teach you everything that you need to know, plus something new and wonderful, things that you have never seen before!
Today, don’t fret, you are not alone in this place, Psalm 34:7. Thanks be unto God, you have a Divine Helper, an Instructor, The Holy Spirit, who is here to help you come through all the situations and challenges that you will face today, you just have to let Him have His way in your life! Today, let the Holy Spirit in, begin your day with these words “I Welcome You, Holy Spirit!” And then make a conscious decision to walk in it all day long, since you are supposed to live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit through His Word, (Galatians 5:25, NIV).
Let the Spirit of God invade your heart and your mind that you might be full and let the Word fill you up to overflow every moment of this day, so that when you have to answer a question, you can ask the Lord to direct you, and He will give you the right response! Don’t burden yourself down by not giving it all to Him, somethings are just too heavy for you to carry day in and day out, Matthew 11:30! The Lord knows, so take the balm that He made for your soul and use it wisely!
Let’s Pray:
Good Morning Father, Thank You for this beautiful Thursday! Today, I choose to operate with the mind of Christ that You have made available to me. Father, incline my ears to hear You speak as I enter this new class today with You. Thank You for teaching me how to cast everything on You, and for You leading me by Your Holy Spirit. Father, thank You for teaching me how to live and love like you. Thank You Father, for bringing every word and prayer that I need back to my remembrance when I need it. Thank You for showing me which way to go, I will follow Your directions. Romans 15:13, “May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.” In the Name of Jesus Christ. Amen!
Blessings…
Love, Minister Jean
