Pack Mules

Are you packing all the devil's junk on your back. Are you being led around like a mule, carrying someone else's junk. Well, when you worry over something, or fret over things, or hang on to illnesses then that is exactly what you are doing. You are like a pack mule being led around and carrying all of these things that do not belong to you as a child of God. Because God tells us we are not to worry, not to fret over things, that we are healed in the name of Jesus, so why are you still carrying around someone else's junk. You are letting the devil lead you around like a mule. If you are a child of God, then you have authority over the devil and all his junk. You need to get into the word of God and know what authority you have, so you are not continuously being led around by the yoke the devil has put around your neck, and breaking your back with all of his junk.

IS. 10 v 27....It shall come to pass in that day, that his burden shall be taken away from your shoulder, and his yoke from your neck, and the yoke will be destroyed because of the anointing oil...

Once you have received Jesus as your savior, you are anointed with His righteousness, with the anointing oil of God, you no longer have to endure sickness, strife, worries, unless you let the devil put his yoke back around your neck and start leading you again. You have to stand strong in the word of God, and keep that yoke off your neck. It doesn't belong on a child of God. When you let the devil put his yoke back on your neck, (in other words worrying over things, staying sick, etc.) then you are letting him have authority over you, instead of believing what God says, that you have the authority. In other words you are walking in disbelief, and not Faith. God gave you a yoke to wear and it is Jesus, and it is light and easy to bear and will lead you in the right direction.

Matt. 11 vs 29-30....take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.......

In one of my devotionals, Kenneth Copeland was explaining this using the analogy of a pack mule, and I thought, yep that is exactly what we are like when we let the devil lead us around. We are in disobedience to the Lord and what His word says about how we are to be, we are as stubborn as a mule. He tells us to take on His yoke, not the devils. So, if you have been wearing the devil's yoke, take it off your neck right now and break it into pieces; Jesus said He has destroyed that yoke, so why did you pick up the pieces and put them back together again and why are you trying to wear it again. Take that yoke off and destroy it and leave it destroyed, it doesn't belong to you.
