Negative Weights

12th June 2020

Scripture Reading: 2 Kings 4: 1-7

Focus

“Now there cried a certain woman of the wives of the sons of the prophets unto Elisha, saying, Thy servant my husband is dead; and thou knowest that thy servant did fear the LORD: and the creditor is come to take unto him my two sons to be bondmen.” (2 Kings 4: 1)

The woman in our Focal Scripture told Elisha that the creditor had come to make her sons to be bondmen. Those boys were still living with their mother; so they were typically not old enough to live on their own. They were not old enough to bear the sort of burdens that bondmen were to carry. So the plan of the creditor was to make them carry load that is too much for their age. They were to carry load that is bigger than them.

Friend, hear me as I hear the Lord: every negative heavy load in your destiny, I command it to disappear now. I curse every negative burden that is weighing you down; I command every negative emotional burden to give way; I command every financial burden that is weighing you down to give way; I command every burden in your marriage to give way; I command every negative weight on your children, career, business, etc to give way.

Those boys were going to carry load that was too much for them, but Elisha intervened, and it did not become their reality. Hear me as I hear the Lord: you will not carry any negative burden. You will not carry any negative load. The enemy will not put upon you any weight that is too much for you to carry; the enemy will not make you carry load that will destroy your destiny; you will not be a carrier of destructive burdens.

Notice that there may not have been anything wrong if someone old enough to carry burdens willfully chose to carry same; but these boys were to carry heavy loads against their wishes. Hear me as I hear the Lord: any negative weight that you did not choose to carry, today, I decree, it will no longer be on your destiny. Every attack of the enemy that has placed negative weights on your destiny, I command it to expire now.

You were not redeemed to carry negative weight at the instance of the enemy. You were redeemed to be free in Christ.

Declaration

I reject every negative weight the enemy has placed on me, in Jesus’ name!
