Time to Shift the Weight

You are to become the weight of His glory and power over those things that have been burdening you.

Posted on

The Holy Spirit recently gave me a powerful vision that will prove to be a source of freedom and blessing for many of you reading this.

In this vision, I saw a person that was lying under a massive stack of papers. It was a weighty stack that was leaving them bent over— as if they were drowning under the weight of them.

I asked the Lord, “What are these papers?”And He responded by speaking to my spirit that each paper represented the things sent by demonic powers and principalities against their lives, against their family, against their nation, and against every Kingdom value that they carried.

Each paper represented demonic assignments sent to kill, steal, and destroy. God’s people are carrying the heavy weight of all of these burdens upon their backs.

Then I heard the Lord say to this person,

Remove them from your back and lay yourself upon them.”

At this request the person unburdened this paperweight from their back and set the stack down before them— then they laid over the stack of papers as the Lord instructed.

What had been a paper weight upon them, now shifted and the person became the weight upon the assignments that had been sent against them and the things dear to them. A weight shift occurred.

Then I watched as they laid upon these papers (that represented the demonic assignments) and began to declare the name of Jesus. They declared His power, His dominion, and His authority. As they did this I saw smoke begin to pour out from the stack of papers that they were laying upon. Then the stack appeared to turn red and it seemed to be burning away beneath them.

The fire of the Lord within them was nullifying these demonic decrees and they were being burned away with the fire of His power, His authority, and His justice.

When this person shifted the weight from being upon them to resting in the Lord and allowing the weight of His authority to be upon the assignments— that is when they began to be nullified.

God’s people have been carrying so many burdens— personal burdens, family burdens, social burdens, and national burdens. But rather than these being a weight upon them, the Lord is turning the weight of His authority and power, through partnership with His people, upon these assignments and upon the demonic powers that are releasing them.

God is bringing a power shift!

The weight (burden) will come off of God’s people and be put onto the backs of His enemies. The One within us will do what only He can do as we pour out declarations of who he is upon all that the enemy has sent to try to wear out the saints of God.

It is time to shift the weight— you are not to be bent over by the weight of the burdens but you are to become the weight of His glory and power over those things that have been burdening you.

This is a shift into an offensive posture rather than a defensive posture.

SHIFT THE WEIGHT!

Come out from under the weight of these things and let the weight of His glory consume them.
