My children, today, I want to bring to you the understanding that I have been trying to get you to lighten the load that you are carrying that is not necessary. You are carrying too many loads and weights on your shoulders that are not from Me. I have been trying to show you and explain to you what needs to be let go of. Allow Me to show you what is important and in the right timing and what is not. You cannot walk in the peace that I have been trying to get you walk in, if you are carrying all this extra weight and baggage. To be able to walk in all that I am calling you to walk in, you must shed all this extra weight.
Lighten The Load That You Are Carrying

You question the things that I am asking you to do. You doubt and wonder if the things that I am telling you are going to come to pass or if you are going to be let down. You waste so much of your time and energy not trusting Me, that it leaves very little room to reverse this issue and to allow Me to do anything for you. You complain about how long things are taking, but you do not do the things I ask. You only do them how you want to and expect the same results. This is not how this works. You cannot trust Me with some things. You need to trust Me with all things.
Some of you, My children, still have not allow your focus to be completely on Me. You look at all the things that your natural eyes see and allow much deception to be present in your lives. You still want to hold onto the control of the things of your life. You still want to receive all that I have for you, but you still will not allow Me to take care of absolutely everything. You want to hold onto your flesh and still try to walk in Me and be blessed by Me. It does not work this was. This is what is causing you a lot of problems. This is what is causing things to not come to pass. Some of you, I am waiting for you to realize this and untie My hands.

You spend hours and days holding grudges; brewing on things that the enemy brings to your attention. You hold on to hurts and judge others. Some of you, this is easy, and you do not complain about how much of this takes your time and wears you out. You have come to actually enjoy being able to find fault in others and to look at everyone’s mistakes but your own. You allow the enemy to come in and use these things to deceive you. Do you not see how the enemy is using these things to hold you back? How many times are you going to allow the enemy to weigh you down with these things?
But if I ask you to take time out for Me, there seems to be a conflict in your schedule and not enough time for Me. You make so many excuses of why you cannot take the time it takes to be prepared and to study My word to get to the place that I need you to be. You complain about the small sacrifices that I ask of you, but you expect Me to do all that you have asked. In doing this, you are saying that I am the God that is able to bring forth the things you desire, but not God enough to have control over all things. There is much wrong with this. It is time to see what needs to be changed about this issue and get it straight. Either I am your God or I am not. Either I am the God who can do it all or you do not believe I can do anything that I have said I can do.

You need to realize that your mindset it completely off, and I want to begin to correct it today. Instead of spending all this time idly by and wasting it on things that you actually do not have any control over at all, simply, do what I have asked. If you would just allow yourself to become wise in this area, you would be so willing to stop wasting your time on things that are not going to give you the results you want or may not give you any results at all. You would allow Me to reverse this mindset into one that is more productive in Me and in My kingdom.
I never intended for any of you to carry all the weight that you decide to carry. I sent My son to come to earth as a man to carry most of the load upon himself. He did this so you would not have to. I have given you My word and have spoken words of encouragement and instructions to you. I did this so that you would understand all that I expect from you. But you allow the enemy to whisper in your ears and let you believe that you have to have some control and that I will not fulfill what I have said I will do.

Quit listening to the enemy. Open your ears to My voice, and let Me talk to you. Shed all the baggage that you carry today. Let Me lighten your load. Let Me release you from all the weights that you carry around and battles that you have picked up that I have not given you. Let go of all the assignments that you have picked up that are not from Me or in My will. Let Me help you get order back into your lives. It is time to get yourself refocused. It is time to get yourself focused on Me and let Me show you what I want you to do. Then leave the rest up to Me. You do not have time to let these things happen to you anymore.

The enemy wants you to keep your focus on other things. He does this so that it distracts you from what really needs to be done. He is working overtime right now because he knows what is coming. He knows time is short and that his days are numbered. He is trying to do all he can to take you out with him. You need to put a stop to these games that he is playing with you. You need to make up your mind to walk totally focused on Me and be obedient to what I have you to do. You need to make up your mind that you are not going to allow the enemy to take you off track. You need to decide today that the enemy is no longer going to weigh you down with all this baggage and luggage that you carry. You need to decide that I am more than capable of guiding you and having control over all.

You need to understand you cannot force people to do things that they are not yet willing to do. You cannot change people who are not quite ready to change. If you would just put them in My hand and allow Me to do the things that I need to do to get them to that place, you will see that there was nothing you could do, but stand in the way. I have other things that I want you to do in this time and in this season. I have important assignments that I need you to do for Me.

Open your eyes and ears to what I am telling you today. Let Me separate the things that I want you to let go of and let Me take care of it all. Let Me lighten your load and watch what a difference it will make in your life and in the life of others. Let My will take full reigns in your life. Refocus and give it all to Me.
