Heaviness
Casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you. 1 Peter 5:7
Some years back, I remember my husband sharing with me this story of one of his friends who was moving into a new home they had purchased. They had this grand piano that they wanted to move into the house. Instead of hiring someone to help them move this into their home they decided to do it themselves. The husband was on one end and the wife on the other. For a little bit, it seemed that they were going to get it into the house without any problems. But at some point the piano became too heavy for his wife and she dropped it. Pieces of the piano fell apart and they still had to hire someone to help move it into their home. In addition to getting help to move it into the house they had to hire someone to fix the piano!
When the word “heaviness” came into my spirit that was the first thing that came to mind. Life happens and things just come upon us. In a span of maybe two weeks I was told that my cousin had fallen and was basically incapacitated and would be put into a nursing home. A dear friend had lost her husband due to cancer and another friend’s infant grandson had been admitted to the hospital. It felt like the load kept getting heavier and heavier, and although I prayed it seemed like things were getting worse.
One morning I laid on the floor and I just cried, “God!” Before I could get another word out of my mouth, I saw the blood of Jesus. I saw the power in the blood of Jesus: the healing, deliverance, comfort, and provision. I saw it all in the blood of Jesus! I can’t quite articulate how I saw it, but he showed me all the power running through the blood. I was praying for the answer and it was all in his blood. I just started pleading the blood of: healing, deliverance, comfort and I could feel change happening in each situation. As I prayed for others my own strength just increased!
Later the Holy Spirt said, “Just like that piano was too heavy for his wife to carry, all the situations that you face are too heavy for you. That is why I am here. I am the mover and the fixer. It was never in the plan for you to carry anything, you were to bring everything to me and I would take care of every situation.” Cast your burden on the Lord, and he will sustain you; he will never permit the righteous to be moved. Psalm 55:22, ESV
Key points:
Heaviness is too heavy for you.
The power is in the blood.
Release the load to Jehovah.
