WHOSE YOKE ARE YOU WEARING?
"Take My yoke upon you and learn of Me." Matthew 11:29

In Biblical days a Rabbi was known for the yoke he carried. It was a stole that he wore around his neck. It was his "Brand." When you saw his yoke, you would know that this Rabbi preached a particular philosophy or ideology. Ideology is the body of ideas, teachings, and beliefs that form the basis of the systems that influence and shape culture -- politics, economics, education, science, etc. Our Lord Jesus has invited us to come and take His Yoke upon us -- His Kingdom ideas, teachings, beliefs, and values -- so that we might be His protege' and influence every sphere of our culture. This is the manifestation of His will being done on the earth exactly as it is in Heaven.
Taking His Yoke is a decision that each individual has to make. No one can effectively influence any area of society, for the Kingdom of God, without taking His Yoke and becoming His protege'. Without His Yoke, we will be in a place of influence sowing the wrong seeds, resulting in the advancement of the kingdom of darkness, and not the Heavenly Kingdom. We can only pass on the "yoke" we've already taken! Become totally influenced by the ideology of Heaven!
Just a thought. Selah!

MUCH NEEDED REST
"Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest."

Your soul is as big and as deep as you are old. The kingdom of darkness has craftily assaulted your soul all of your life in order to cause long-term
damage that keeps your life in constant turmoil, going from one episode of drama to another. These are the things that are now governing your life.
Our Lord Jesus gives us an invitation to suspend this upheaval and unrest, and have an intermisssion and recreate.
"REST" - The Presence of Christ will give you rest. His Presence will soothe, comfort, settle, console, and quiete all of the turmoil that has been going
on in your soul.
The Presence of the Lord is the Presence of Holy Spirit. Ask Him to fill you and the place where you are. As He embraces you, healing is released to
areas of your soul that have been in bo***ge. He is the Light and Fire of Love, and He brings revelation knowledge and illumination to the dark places
in your soul that have shaped and dominated the landscape of your life.
When you recieve and walk in His "Rest" He will breathe Life into nonproductive areas of your life, and stimulate growth and development in the seeds
of potential He has placed within you. There is "MUCH NEEDED REST" awaiting you.
Just a thought. Selah!

We must offer a life that is relevant, anointed, passionate, a reproduction of Christ's Heart,
and one that is full of God's Kingdom content. Start where you are and make a tremendous
impact on those around you. God's Love, through you, speaks louder than words!
Just a thought. Selah.

As believers, it is our responsibility to bring Heaven's "Life-Giving" perspective into every sector of our society and culture.
Every one of us has a specific and special calling -- including gifts, talents, and graces to be used to display the very love
and goodness of God to a world that is desperate for Love and Life.
The stage is set. This is the the time. Go out there and make your "Curtain Call!" You are His Authorized Representative.
Just something to consider. Selah.
