Burden Bearing: Discerning who, what, when & how to carry spiritual burdens!

Tracey Bond-Tolbert, Prophetess, Shepherdess, Prophetic Publisher, Educator & Author of and for the Living LORD & Savior Jesus Christ

Burdens: (1) A load of any kind (Ex. 23:5). (2) A severe task (Ex. 2:11). (3) A difficult duty, requiring effort (Ex. 18:22). (4) A prophecy of a calamitous or disastrous nature (Isa. 13:1; 17:1; Hab. 1:1, etc). There are such things as burdens, believers should help others carry, but there are some burdens (heavy loads) that we should not assist others in carrying, lest we ourselves become heavy laden beyond that which the LORD has designated for that particular individual. God in His wisdom through the Authority of the risen LORD released leaders who had already been trained to take one the heavier-weighted tasks of spiritual warfare (2 Corinthians 10:5-7) through the empowerment of the Holy Spirit! If things seems to heavy to handle in your day to day trials it could mean that Jesus, the Head of the Body of Christ is trying to get you to sense his voice in the difficulty, telling you to not lift/take this thing yetas if to say child you are have not received the power of my spirit to carry that right now! Jesus taught this after He rose from the difficult task of Calvarys sacrifice for our sins - He promised power from Father God, but said to wait for the Holy Spirit to come up in Him to give Him power. In Luke 24:49 Jesus said: I am going to send you what my Father has promised; but stay in the city until you have been clothed with power from on high.

Some are falling weak, and becoming casualties in spiritual warfare because they do not yet understand the order of Gods release for the more difficult tasks believers must carry. Spiritual leadership=spiritual parenting in that the spiritual parents themselves have been trained and therefore approved to help raise/lift others to maturity. Just as a baby is not equipped to care for others, neither can a baby or new believer in Christ as it is written in Hebrews 5:12 You have been believers so long now that you ought to be teaching others. Instead, you need someone to teach you again the basic things about God's word. You are like babies who need milk and cannot eat solid food. For everyone who partakes only of milk is not accustomed to the word of righteousness, for he is an infant. But solid food is for the mature, who because of practice have their senses trained to discern good and evil.

JESUS: For my yoke is easy to bear, and the burden I give you is light."-

Matthew 11:30

All this being said, this is the type of burden we should always carry as believer sin Jesus is the yoke He gives us to carry, which is light enough for every stage of development in the believers acquisition of equipment in the FULL knowledge and grace of God to maturity. (Ephesians 4:11-16] It was he who gave some to be apostles, some to be prophets, some to be evangelists, and some to be pastors and teachers, to prepare Gods people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ. Then we will no longer be infants, tossed back and forth by the waves, and blown here and there by every wind of teaching and by the cunning and craftiness of men in their deceitful scheming. Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will in all things grow up into him who is the Head, that is, Christ. From him the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love, as each part does its work. Discerning the strength of our spirits & level of training, we can more easily agree to "release" those "heavyweights" to Him for He who carried the "Heavyweight" of the curses due mankind for their sins of the world's spirit of unbelief (John 16:9) through the awesome work of the Cross....know He is well able to carry the HEAVIEST of loads on one's spirit possible. There is no workout program or "personal" trainer or body-builder that can push the weight of sin, depression, oppression, devil possession up and out of your LIFE like JESUS the Christ. Jesus name means salvation/rescue from danger - deliverer from bondage. May that name bring special meaning to you today and from this day forward. Acts 4:8-14 it is written: "Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them: Rulers and elders of the people! If we are being called to account today for an act of kindness shown to a cripple and are asked how he was healed, then know this, you and all the people of Israel: It is by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified but whom God raised from the dead, that this man stands before you healed. He is the stone you

builders rejected, which has become the capstone. Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved. When they saw the courage of Peter and John and realized that they were unschooled, ordinary men, they were astonished and they took note that these men had been with Jesus. But since they could see the man who had been healed standing there with them, there was nothing they could say. " There is nothing else we can say, be healed today. Give your burdens to the LORD, and he will take care of you. He will not permit the godly to slip and fall.
