  
Matthew 11:28 Come to Me, all you who labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
Today is your day of deliverance in the name of Jesus! Deliverance from heavy laden; Deliverance from trouble; Deliverance from needless pain; Deliverance from every wicked stronghold.
Sometimes in life, people who desire to produce solution produce problems; those who desire to heal create pains; those who desire to help become a problem; those who desire to go forward find themselves going backwards.
In all these cases people may passionately desire good, but they find evil is present with them or seems to emanate from them. Sometimes, the reason for this is an unseen hand, a force, or stronghold in a person’s personality that is bringing the negative result.
If you are in this situation you will be able to relate to the lamentation of apostle Paul:
Romans 7:15-24: For what I am doing, I do not understand. For what I will to do, that I do not practice; but what I hate, that I do. 16 If, then, I do what I will not to do, I agree with the law that it is good. 17 But now, it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells in me.18 For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh) nothing good dwells; for to will is present with me, but how to perform what is good I do not find. 19 For the good that I will to do, I do not do; but the evil I will not to do, that I practice. 20 Now if I do what I will not to do, it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells in me. 21 I find then a law, that evil is present with me, the one who wills to do good. 22 For I delight in the law of God according to the inward man. 23 But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members. 24 O wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from this body of death?
Praise God that through Jesus, there is hope for deliverance and rest! Rest from producing problems, rest from producing needless pains, rest from becoming a victim and hindrance, rest from going backwards, rest from all manner of discouragement and frustrations. Jesus Is Lord!
Listen to the words of Jesus again: Come to Me, ALL you who labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
There is hope for everyone! Jesus IS the way (out of bondage), the truth and the life (John 14:6). If He cannot give rest, He would not have promised it. He is the Prince of Peace (Isaiah 9:6). If He is in dominion and reigning in a situation or in a person, then Rest will bear witness to that fact. When Jesus spoke against a great windstorm, the bible reported there was immediately a great calm (Mark 4:35-41). Glory be to God! You too will have a good report.
You may have tried many avenues to find rest from labour and heavy laden and have only disappointments. Jesus is calling to you today, saying: “Come to Me and I will give you rest.”
God upholds all things by the word of His power (Hebrews 1:3) and His word does not return void (Isaiah 55:10-11). Get ready for God’s sent word to accomplish its purpose in your life. In the name of Jesus, if you have come to Jesus and purposed in your heart to be delivered from your labour and heavy laden: I declare that today is your day of liberty. Say (Mark 11:23): I am loosed from the chains that hold me from going forward; I am loosed from chains that keep heavy laden on me; I am loosed from chains that cause problems and pain, instead of blessing, to flow to and from me. Today is my day of deliverance in the name of Jesus! Amen!
It may have been difficult for you to know why despite your best intentions and hard work, you seem always to produce problems and pains. From today, your story is changing!
Ask God for forgiveness for the problems and pains you have caused (Proverbs 28:13). If you can recall some of the situations and feel sorrow for your sins, you are on the right track – a broken and a contrite heart God will not despise (Psalm 51:17). In your repentance, may all your debt be cancelled from today! It’s your day of deliverance in the name of Jesus. It is a fact of life that what a person sows is what they reap (Galatians 6:7). But I pray in the name of Jesus, that all that ties you to problem and pains are cut off from you today. Let goodness and mercy now begin to follow you, as is God’s desire for you. From today, receive the grace to serve righteousness and enjoy its fruits.
I pray for you in the light of the answered prayer of Jabez (1 Chronicles 4:10): May the hand of the LORD be with you from today to keep you from evil, that you may not cause or become victim of pain.
To be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace (Romans 8:6). Ask God to help you walk in the Spirit because you want to see the fruit of self-control abounding in your life (Galatians 5:22-23).
With a name a thing is identified or described. There is a change of name for you today! You will no longer be called a problem or troublemaker. You are a peacemaker from today in the name of Jesus. You will no longer rejoice at being a troublemaker. Your name has been changed from troublemaker to peacemaker from today. Blessed are the peacemakers Matt 5:9 (not troublemakers), so receive the grace and ability to make and cultivate peace in the name of Jesus – peace at home, peace at work, peace in your way, peace in church, peace in the community, peace in the nation, peace everywhere you go.
If you are seeking peace from God and you respond to this word, I pronounce peace be upon you in the name of Jesus. If you have ever been in an atmosphere filled with cigarette smoke you will notice that the smell of smoke is still on you long afterwards. Through this contact that you are having with the gospel of Christ, may goodness and mercy follow you all the days of your life. May those you come into contact with, or relate to, be touched by the goodness and mercy that flows out from you. May all your bitter experiences become insignificant because of the hand of the LORD upon you, bringing you into sweetness from today. May all your hurts be healed from today. For every problem, receive solution; from every pain, have relief and cure from today. Let every hindrance in your way become stepping-stone into joy and victory for you from today. Let the rest that Jesus promised, become wholly yours from today. This is your day of salvation and beginning of unending laughter in the name of Jesus.
Glory be to God for this prophetic and transforming word. May the LORD confirm this word to you (Isaiah 44:24-26). May this moment be remembered as the time when the turning point that you have been seeking from the LORD became a reality. May the name of Jesus be exalted forever. May the name of God as Jehovah Shalom always be your testimony. May God always be exalted as the Source and Commander of peace in your life and affairs, Amen.
May the grace and peace from God be with you, now and always!
Jesus Is Lord!
