A word from the Lord:
The ease of the idle becomes a bridle, leading them along the devil’s way. But My anointing destroys the yoke, making you a bondservant to My Kingdom and My heart alone.
Receive My burden and yoke. They are easily borne by the whole-hearted, who – with hearts no longer torn – pursue the plan of their King whose wisdom unifies and creates one out of what the devil has “factioned” and sought to destroy.
factioned
: the state of being divided into factions within a larger body.
“When they had preached the gospel to that city and had made many disciples, they returned to Lystra and to Iconium and to Antioch, strengthening the souls of the disciples, encouraging them to continue in the faith, and saying that through many tribulations we must enter the kingdom of God.”
Acts 14:21-22 (ESV)
