NOW, THAT’S GOOD NEWS!! By Kenneth Copeland
Ever since the Fall of Man, the devil has been using people as pack mules. He has clamped his yoke around their necks and burdened them down with sin, sickness, failure, poverty, and every other damnable thing hell could devise.
Everyone has felt the terrible weight of that yoke. We’ve all experienced the pain and frustration that comes from struggling free of one burden, just to have the devil yank us around and pile on even more.
For thousands of years, that yoke of bondage was the inescapable tragedy of man’s existence. To naturel eyes it looked as though there would never be a way out. But by the Spirit of God the prophet Isaiah looked forward to a time and saw that a redeemer was coming. One who would finally free us from the oppression of the devil.
To fully appreciate just how good that news is, you must realize that Isaiah doesn’t say the yoke will be broken because of the anointing. Many people read the verse that way, but that’s not what it says. It say the yoke will be destroyed!.
When you look it up in the Hebrew, you’ll find the word translated “destroyed” means “absolutely useless.” Isaiah said this anointing would annihilate the devil’s yoke so completely, there would no longer be any evidence that it was every on your neck!
That means every time you allow the Anointing of God to destroy a yoke in your life, whether it’s in the realm of your health, your finances, your relationships, or your past, it is literally, utterly destroyed and cannot be repaired to be used again. The devil can’t pick it up and hold you in bondage with it again. “Whom the Son sets free, is free indeed!”
Isaiah 10:27 “And it shall come to pass in that day, that this burden shall be taken away from off thy shoulders, his yoke from off thy neck, and the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing.”
