• 2:52

• 2:56

• 3:01
  Speaker 1: twenty eight through verses twenty eight through thirty. Again matt
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: through eleven, Chapter eleven, verses twenty eight through thirty. Before
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: I get started, of course, I want to start off
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: in prayer. Before I get started, I want to pray,
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: open us up in prayer, Father God, in the name
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: of Jesus Word, I asked that you just allow your
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: whole spirit to leave God and directly move me out
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: of the way. Lord God Father, decrease me in the
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: flesh and allow your spirit being to comfort, allow me
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: to only share that that you have placed in my
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: heart and the things that you have placed in my spirit.
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: On today, or God Father, may the birthly this lesson
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: fall on good grounds, and that may it may do
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: that that you have set forth for it to do.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: On today, Father, I asked that you will open our hearts,
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: our minds, and our souls that we can receive what
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: it is that you will have us to receive. On today, Father,
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: I thank you for this hour, thank you for this
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: opportunity that we can come before you, Lord God, lifting
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: up our praise, acknowledging you on that we have no power,
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: but through you we have all power. And Father, this
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: is my prayer your son Jesus name. Amen, Amen, Amen,
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: Amen Again. I thank you guys for joining me, whether
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: you're joining me live or you're hearing this as a replay,
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: I thank you for being a part of this devotion
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: on today. So I'm gonna go ahead and get started.
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: Not gonna be for you very long. I like to
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: get in and get it over with. So today's scripture
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: is coming from Chapter eleven, verses twenty eight, and verses
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: twenty eight through thirty, and it's gonna be coming out
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: of the new International version. It said, come to me,
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: all you who are weary and burden, and I will
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart,
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: and you will find rest for your souls. For my
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: yoke it's easy, and my burden is like I read
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: Matthew's eleven Versus twenty eight to thirty. May God bless
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: the reading and hearing of his word, and may we
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: not just be hearers of his word, but doers of
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: his word as well. Our affirmation for today is I
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: find rest for my soul in Christ. Speak that over yourself.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: Know that you can find rest for your soul in Christ.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: You got to speak it over yourself so that you
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: can again. I want to welcome you today twenty three
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: of our devotion journey. Life often leaves us weary with
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: its long to do list, heavy burdens, and relentless pressures.
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: But Jesus reaches out with the imitation of pure grace
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: to come to rest and to renew in His love
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: in presence. Today, let's discover how to receive the rest
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: that only Christ can give us, exchanging our anxiety striving
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: for His peaceful promise. I want to share you a
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: little back story on this scripture. During Jesus ministry, he
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: traveled throughout towns and villages, teaching, healing and drawing crowds
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: to seek hope, truth, and reveal from the weight of
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: the of daily existence. Life in ancient Israel was often exhausting,
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: not only because physical labor under the Roman rule, but
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: also because of heavy spiritual expectations placed on ordinary people.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: The religious leaders of Jesus days, especially the Pharisees, taught
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: the closeness to God came through strict observance of countless laws, traditions,
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: and rituals. For many, these religious rules felt like a
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: burden to heavy to bear. One mistake could mean condemnation
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: or shame. The yoke is biblically, in Biblical time, refers
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: to a wooden harness that joined two animals together to
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: pull heavy loads. Religious leaders spoke of the yoke of laws,
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: which often felt more like the questioning weight than a
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: source of guidance. Amid the climate of spiritual weird, weariness,
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: the logistics pressure, Jesus stood up and speaks words that
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: are both revolutionary and compassionate. Come to me, Are you
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: who are weary and burden? I would give you rest.
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: With these words, Jesus were boldly challenging the existing system
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: for his day. He extended his imitation not to the
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: perfect or powerful, but to the tire and the discouraged
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: and the overwhelmed, the very people who felt left out
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: and weighed down by man made religion and life hardship.
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: When Jesus spoke of his yoke, he was using a
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: familiar image, but offering a new meaning. Instead of a
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: yoke of oppression, he invited them and used He invited
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: them in us to share his yoke, a yoke that
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: God but does not crush. A yoke where Jesus himself
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: stands beside us, sharing the weight and teaching us gently
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: through relationships, not RUMs. A yoke that fits, crafted in
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: love and humility, where surrender leads not to weirdness, but
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: to a soul deep breast and refreshment. This rest goes
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: far beyond physical relaxation. Jesus promised rests for our soul,
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: a deep spiritual peace and renewed sense of hope, purpose
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: and belonging. He causes us to lay down the burdens
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: of performance, perfectionism, and self reliance. Instead, he offers us
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: to walk with He offers to walk with us and
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: carry our heaviest load, exchange anxiety for his gentle strength
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: and humble love. In essence, Matthew eleven eight and thirty
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: is an open invitation for the heart of God. It
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: reaches across culture, time, circumstances, promises of kind of rest
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: that only the Messiah, gentle, humble, ever present, can truly give.
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: The word of today is rest. Rest is more than
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: simply taking a nap, a pausing for daily tasks. It's
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: a sacred state of renewal found only in the presence
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: of Christ. While the world teaches us rest by escaping
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: and disconnecting, Jesus offers us a deep, richer rest. Rest
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: in Christ means a refreshed soul. This is a inner rejuvenation,
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: a wash, a way of spiritual weardness and heavenness. It
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: is God's reviving us from the inside out, watering those
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: deep roots of our faith in our joy a peaceful mind.
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: God gives us rest to hushion of the never in
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: the noise, in the words, in our mind. It comes
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: and assures that even in circumstances, or even when our
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: circumstances are stormy, God is in control his presence, His
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: presence covers us. According to Philippians four and seven, freedom
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: from anxiety in Christ's rest is the releases us from
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: trying to earn God's approval or solve every problem in
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: our own strength. But when we rest, we not only
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: rest in Him because the work is finished, but because
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: we trust in the one who is faithful to carry
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: it out within us and through us. Ultimately, rest in
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: God's gifts a supernatural imitation to stop striving and surrender
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: our burdens and receive his unshakable peace even in life
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: busiest and hardest moment. Rest is not escapism. It is empowerment.
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: In Christ. Rest is where we draw strength, clarity, and
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: renewed purpose to keep going, confidence that we don't walk alone.
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: I want y'all to remember these three things as you
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: go through our day today. Jesus invites the weary, not
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: the perfect, come to me all who are weary in
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: burden Matthew eleven and twenty eight. Jesus imitation is radical,
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: is radically inclusive. He pacifically calls the weary and burden,
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: not those who feel strong and self sufficient in culture.
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: In this culture of time, spiritual and society system has
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: placed high values on religious achievements and outward perfection. But
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: Jesus turned those standards upside down. He seeks honesty, he
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: seeks the hurting, He seeks the humble those and it's
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: there where we can profine, profound relief and knowing that
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: we don't need to pretend with God or to clean
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: ourselves up first, that He would do that if we
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: just humble ours and come unto Him supporting. If we
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: go over to Psalms thirty four and eighteen, it says,
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: the Lord is near the broken, heartened and saves the
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: Christian spirit. The first step to true trust and rest
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: is honestly vulnerability with Jesus and him. You can lay
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: down every facet and trust that He welcomes you exactly
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: as you are, messy, tired, real I'm talking about a
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: complete mess was me and I'm talking about me. But
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: I found rest in the relationship with Christ. I found
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: rest in learning his scripture, diving deep in the words,
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: because he say, take my yoke upon you and learn
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: from me. That's why we got to stay in the word.
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: We got to dive deep in the word. We got
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: to get in there and apply that word to our life.
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: According to Matt Through eleven and twenty nine, he said,
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: a yoke is a wooden beam that joins two animals
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: together to pull a load. It is a symbol not
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: only for work, but also for partnership. Did you hear
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: that partnership? He didn telling us we had to be
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: on this journey by ourselves. When Jesus said take ma yo,
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: he's inviting us to come closer to him, to have
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: a daily relationship with him, to walk every step with
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: him by our side. There this is where the difference
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: lies in religious duty, because it is heavy, because often
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: we carry it along. When he said, let the yoke
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: of Christ life in your load. He shares this with
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: us so that we will be informed, so that we
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: would know, so that we would know we will not
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: on this journey by ourselves. Learning from Jesus is not
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: about information, but it's about transformation, and transforming through his greatness.
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: In his humility John's fifteen and four, he say, abide
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: in me, I am in you. It invites us into
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: a shared life, not a solitary struggle. That means we
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: don't have to be on this journey by ourselves. That's
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: why he plays brothers and sisters with us so that
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: we can do this together. Ask yourself, this, am I
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: living as if it all depended on me? Or am
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: I sharing life load with the one that created me?
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: Learning from his gentle leadership and daily presence, y'all, we
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: gotta know that we can give it to him, leave
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: it there, and he will lighten our loads. You can
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: be rejuvenated and empowered through him if you rest in
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: him today. He has told us over and over throughout
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: this lesson. But if you go on down Matthew eleven thirty.
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: It says, for my yoke, it's easy and my burden
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: is light. True rest is not in the absence of work,
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: but in the restoration of the soul and spirit to
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: continue this journey with strength and Jesus and Jesus rest
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: is empowerment. The word easy is it originated from Greek currestal,
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: which means fitting or tailored for you. The burden he
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: gives isn't isn't no burden at all, but it is
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: light because it is shared. It is purposeful, and it
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: is fueled by God's power, not our own. When we
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: trade starving for surrender, exhaustion becomes energy and burdens becomes
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: blessings Isaiah forty twenty nine. It says He gives strength
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: to the weary and increase the power of the week.
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: God rests renews you in purpose. His assignment invigorates and
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: instead of depleting, you are equipped to continue, not alone,
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: but in the hands of your Savior. He has customly
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: fitted you in the palm of his hand for your calling.
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: Wal can't it on today? How can you apply this
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: word that I've shared with you on today into your
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: daily life? First, you should pause and be present with him.
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: Take five minutes each morning or each night to sit
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: quietly with God. Tell him your burdens and invite him
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: his rest into your art. Replace worry with worship. When
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: anxiety or weirdness creep in, offer up praise music, a
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: prayer of gratitude, or simply repeat, Jesus, I receive your rest. Jesus,
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: I receive your rest. Jesus, I receive your rest. Lean
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: into God. Promise and remind yourself daily that you are
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: not alone on this expected You are not alone on
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: this journey, or is expected to perform perfectly because we
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: are perfectly all people. We are not perfect people. Meditate,
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: Meditate on today's scripture, letting God's word bring you peace.
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: And I leave you with this encouraging word for today. Beloved,
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: you are seen and known by the one who offered
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: rest beyond him, beyond humans, understanding, no burden is too heavy,
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: no worry is too small. Led all at the feet
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: of Jesus and allow him to trade your stress for
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: supernatural peace. However, however heavy, your Lord, God is inviting
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: you into his rest, restoration of your mind, your body,
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: and your spirit, so that you can walk freely. And
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: joyfully in your purpose that that he's called you to.
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: According to Jeremiah twenty nine, any other his word will
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: not return to him void. He has declared that he
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: had a plan for you, and the plan was to
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: prosper you, not to harm you, for you to be
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: in good health, for you to have hope in the future.
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: I stand on his word today. I trust his word today,
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: and I know that his word is going to be
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: performed and perfected in each and every one of our lives.
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: So I want you to stand on his word today,
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: and I want you to know that God is with you,
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: that he carries you everywhere you go. Okay, take these
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: words today and apply it to your life, don't you
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: be words that you've heard me say are words that
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: you read on these pages, but applied to your life.
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: That's why he gave it to us, so that we
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: can apply. We got to learn how to put our
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: name in the place of those names that's in that Bible,
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: because this is our this is supposed to be our
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: basic instruction before leaving Earth, and this is what we're
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: supposed to do. So you got to go in and
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: you got to apply it to your life so that
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: it can manifest in those things that He's called and
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: purpose you to do. They can come forth. So, Father God,
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: in the name of Jesus, Lord, I thank you for
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: this time. I thank you for this lesson that you
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: are allowed to come forth on today, Lord God Father,
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: as these words has coming out my mouth and they've
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: fallen into hopefully fertile saying, fertile ground, Lord God, I
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: pray that you will take these seeds, Lord God, these
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: seeds of this lesson, Lord God, and Father, apply it
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: and multiplied in the lives of those that receive it.
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: Lord God Father, we thank you right now for going
• 19:55
