Deliverance From Excess Load
Contributed by Daniel Olukoya on Nov 28, 2017 (message contributor)
Summary: A burden is a load. A burden can be a job or a duty. It can be a punishment or an inconvenience. A certain old woman was going somewhere with a heavy load on her head
The issue of evil load is so serious that the Bible takes time to tell us the solution. A load is anything, person, or experience from the past or present that hinders your walk with the Lord. Many believers carry heavy load everyday and this heavy load ranges from experiences from childhood, broken relationships, experiences and issues that people are not willing to talk about. It is something that people prefer to keep buried in the past. It is something over which you have no control. Loads can be issues you don’t even want to think about. The issue of evil load is so serious that the Bible says in Isaiah 10: 27: “It shall come to pass on that day that the burden shall be taken away from off thy shoulder and the yoke from off thy neck . And the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing.” So the issue of burdens and yokes is so serious that you need the anointing to deal with them. The Bible specifically tells us that the anointing of the Holy Ghost is needed to destroy them. In that verse also we see the simplest definition of anointing. You can define anointing as the burden removing and the yoke destroying power of God. It is interesting that the first time anointing will be described in the Bible; it makes reference to yokes and burdens. It is therefore a serious matter.
WHAT DOES A LOAD DO?
It is placed majorly on the head the symbol of destiny. An evil spiritual load compresses the destiny of a person. It slows down a destiny. It weighs down a destiny. It weakens the destiny. These are the bad effects of a load. If God opens the eyes of many people and they are able to see the spiritual state of people moving around the street, many will become intercessors forever. You will see some people carrying coffins, big fishes, and sometimes big baskets but the people carrying them will not see what they are carrying. A load puts one’s destiny under tension, it suffocates the destiny, it stretches the destiny, and it creates inconvenience for the destiny.
The load is sometimes placed on the shoulder, which is the symbol of dignity. It compresses the dignity of a person, it stresses and inconveniences it. It is sometimes placed on the back which is the symbol of strength, puts it under tension and stretches it. A load is sometimes placed on the hand which is the symbol of work. It compresses one’s work. So a load is burdensome, troublesome and oppressive.
Everything that we can suffer or enjoy are spiritual entities in the spirit world. In the spirit world, they are very real. This is why we preach deliverance a lot at MFM, because deliverance is a way of shedding of evil loads that the enemy has put in place to prevent the movement of God’s power into people’s lives. The power of God cannot upon the life of a person who is carrying a load on his head, until that load is completely destroyed. In Matthew 10:12-13, Jesus gave His disciples a very interesting command. It says, “And when you go into a household, greet it. If the household is worthy, let your peace come upon it. But if it be not worthy, let your peace return to you.” A man of God can release blessing, and he can also withdraw it. A man of God can ordain a pastor; and can also withdraw the ordination. A man of God can pray anointing into a situation and he can also withdraw it. He can give you a certificate and can also withdraw the certificate spiritually. All these things are spiritual things. Jesus said that when you say, “Peace be upon you,” the peace as an entity goes to rest upon them, but if there is nobody there who is qualified for it, the peace will go back. This is why it is possible to transfer a load. Some people go to herbalists and witchdoctors who ask them to buy sponge so that they can wash their heads, and as they are washing away the load, they are also washing away their miracles and anointing, which they later transfer to other people. At the end of the day they end up with nothing. Ignorance is a terrible thing. Ezekiel 8:7-12 “And when I looked behold a hole in wall. And when I looked behold a door in the wall, then said he to me son of man… and behold every form of creeping things…”
