Mat 11:28 Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
Mat 11:29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest
unto your souls.
Mat 11:30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
Mat 28:18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.
Mat 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son,
and of the Holy Ghost:
Mat 28:20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you
always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.

Let's all face it, it's hard to be a Christian and it's getting harder everyday. Satan is running rampant and
getting stronger it seems. Why? Because we let it. We think we can do it all on our own but we can't. We need
to take Matthew 11:28-30 to heart. I know you are saying " My life is great. I have no burdens." At home it may
be or maybe you just don't see the burdens that are weighing you down.

Who among us are not feeling the burden of more taxes being put upon our wages, our items we buy, our
property we own? What about the burden of protecting your family from harm. With the spread of crimes such
as robbery, murder, drug abuse, sexual assaults, car thefts, etc. these thing weigh heavy on us, do they not?
Get what I'm saying?

I myself feel these burdens and also the burdens of low self esteem, loneliness, unable to care for my loved
ones. I do my best. I at this moment am facing these dilemmas. I want to provide for my family more so I am in
the process of looking for what's called in the internet ministry world a "brick and mortar" church to be a minister
of. Not being seminary trained is one big roadblock. That or years and years of documented preaching. These
things are beneficial, but many forget that it was not in the beginning a requirement for ministering the word of
Christ.

In a recent attempt to apply for a job my burdens got in the way and I probably didn't sound as professional as I
wanted to be. As I have stated to other ministers I communicate with my tongue sometimes run faster than what
my brain does. Especially if I'm trying to do something without notes or detailed written out manuscript of my
thoughts such as these messages. No way am I saying I can't "fly blind" into a situation, I have many times. But
I am saying that I am much better if I am prepared. We all are.

What this boils down to is as Jesus said, Come unto me I will give you rest. Take on my yoke of responsibility,
follow my teachings I will make those burdens light. Learn what I teach and you will be blessed. In my simple
way this is how I see Matthew 11:28-30.

In Matthew 28:18-20 Jesus gives us the answer to what we are to do to achieve the blessing of eternal life. As
he stated "All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth." meaning that what we do in His name he has the
power to make it so. "Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of
the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and,
lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen." It does not say after years of training, or it does
not say if you have been teaching for years before. It tells all of us to go and teach all nations no matter what
to observe all things that the Lord has commanded. What ever you do, if you do it in Jesus name he will be with
you always till the end of the world.

So what does this mean. All of us should go out make the word of the Lord known, tell those who are trying to
condemn us all by twisting the teachings of Jesus to accommodate their abominations as being okay with the
Lord, That they are wrong and teach to them what the Lord has taught us. That if they confess that what they
are doing is wrong and repent and seek ways to do it no more, that is what is ok with Jesus. Jesus cannot
accept sin as ok. No way, No how, but He can accept the person if that person is willing to give up his sin and
do it no more. This is what should be showed to us onTv. and in the news but no we are shown images of
Jesus laughing and carrying on like all is fine. This is what we need to fight. If we want to win our salvation and
enjoy eternal life we have to fight the beliefs of the world and belief the facts of Jesus.

Heavenly Father, Help us to walk in the path of Jesus your Son. Help us to bear the burdens on the yokes of
our life by taking up the yoke of Jesus who's yoke is light. Help us to go out and teach what Jesus taught us to
the world. Let not the obstacles of the world be set before us . Let us trample these obstacles and bring your
love forward to all the world. In Jesus name, Amen
