Thought For Today – “Demonic and Spiritual Yokes”
Good Morning Saints! How are you doing this morning, good I hope? It is FRIDAY and the weekend is here! First let me ask that you all enter into sincere Prayer for all the people in the path of the impending downgraded hurricane Cindy, as she makes landfall today. The predictions of storms, flooding, and high winds will definitely cause a lot of damage. Now, I have a question for you. By a show of hands, how many of you know what a “Yoke” is? Come on now, anybody……….. anybody??? Well I would be totally surprised if any of the younger generation (ages 35 and down) knew what a “Yoke” was without going and googling it LOL! But I’m very confident that a lot of, if not most of the older generation knows exactly what one is. The dictionary definition of the word “Yoke” is as follows: “A wooden crosspiece that is fastened over the necks of two animals and attached to a plow or cart that they are to pull.” Did any of you think that was what I was talking about? I’m guessing not? I’m betting that some of you probably thought I was talking about an egg yoke am I right? LOL! With this train of thought, or line of thinking, it was placed on my heart today to talk about “Demonic and Spiritual Yokes.” Back in the pre John Deere, Kubota, Case-International, Farmall, etc.. tractor eras, huge Ox’s were used to plow fields. You see, in the summer and fall, the sun dries the ground out to where it is pretty hard. The only animal that was strong enough to pull plows that could break it up, was huge Ox’s. Believe it or not, that is were a couple of popular analogies come from. “Carlos is as strong as an Ox!” or the lyric in a song “I’ll never be your beast of burden” which is a song by The famed rock group The Rolling Stones. Don’t ask me how I knew that LOL!
The “Yoke” is believed in superstition by some of the older generation to have special Spiritual powers! I remember seeing on television back in the day, and hearing my mom, grandparents, and even my great grandparents mention at one time or another, that if you placed a newborn baby through the opening of a “Yoke” a certain amount of times, that baby would be healthy, strong, and protected from all evil. I’m not saying I believe it, but that is what I’ve seen on some TV shows (the TV series back in the 70’s and 80’s named “Roots” was one of them) and heard the older generation say. There are two kinds of “Yokes,” good ones (Spiritual) and bad ones (Demonic). I’ve already given you a little background on the good “Yokes,” and what they consists of, so now I’ll discuss the bad ones……….aka the “demonic” ones. A “Yoke” is used from birth of the Oxen to watch this, “CONTROL” the Oxen from a very young age. If you wait until an Ox gets full grown, there’s absolutely NOTHING you can do to control it! However, if you put a “Yoke” on that Ox when it is a young calf, it will learn to respect that “Yoke.” I just had to get that in there, it should have been up in the first paragraph. Now, back to the “demonic” type of “Yoke.” In remembering that a “Yoke” is something used to control something else, would you believe that Satan uses “Yokes” to control us? Hold on, hold on, I see you looking at me a little cross-eyed LOL! Let me explain it a little bit deeper……look at the virtual person sitting next to you on your Left and your Right, and say “Carlos is about to break it on down for ya, so just give him a little more time to explain.” Here’s how Satan uses “Yokes” to control us, those of you who suffer from addictions, anger, spite, envy, alcohol, drugs, sexual, and or any other kind of addiction, how did it start? I can honestly say, that I’ve never tried any drug in my entire life, but I have engaged in drinking alcohol. And the first time I did it was when I was very young, in my early to mid-teens. It started with just a “Come on Los take a sip of this beer, don’t be a chicken, it won’t kill ya man!” Well I did, and spit it back out! The taste of beer that first time just didn’t do it for me LOL! The next time, it was wine, well the sweet taste of that “TJ Swann” wine did the trick LOL! I drank more and more because it was so sweet that it tasted almost like Kool-Aid and before I knew it, I was falling down sloppy drunk!
Now if you recall the previous “Thoughts For Today” where I talked about how strict my Grandfather was, then you already know that I walking on very THIN ice in getting drunk being that I was living with him! My uncle Gary aka “Big Tex” LOL! And his best friend of many years David “Jack” Jackson, and I were moving my aunt Sand and Danny from their old house in Little Rock, to their new house in Conway out by the family ranch. We found the bottle of wine as we were loading up their furniture. Anyways, it turned out real bad for me when Tex and Jack carried me past my Grandmother to my bedroom as I had been puking my guts out all the way home to Conway from Little Rock! My Grandmother knew right away what had happened, despite Tex and Jack’s explanation that I was just “sick” LOL! Here’s how Satan works, being that he used to be one of, if not the most HIGHLY regarded Angel in Heaven known previously as Lucifer (which means “Brightness”) and he truly was God’s brightest Angel. I said that to say, that Lucifer (aka Satan) had the same knowledge to a certain extent that God has about the human race. What our strengths and weaknesses are, what our likes and dislikes are, what we are fearful of, and most importantly, the things that we desire most, aka our dreams! And here’s another thing that Satan knows about each and every human walking the face of this earth in the past, present, and even the future, the destiny God has placed inside of each of us from birth to bring Him (God) Glory! So what does Satan do, he tempts us with the very thing he knows is our weakness! Not only that, but he also places a “Yoke” over us of sometype, anger, spite, envy, drug addiction, alcohol addiction, sexual perversion addiction, longterm emotional or mental trauma from bad experiences, etc…to name a few, to derail us from reaching our destiny in the time frame that God would have liked for us to reach it. Those distractions or “Yokes” are used to get us to take our eyes off of God, which is the only way Satan can get a foothold in our lives! Sadly, some people never reach their destiny God had in mind and had placed inside of them before they go to meet Him (God), because the allowed Satan’s “Yoke” to stay over their lives longer than it should have. Remember, God is a God of choice! He will NOT force us to do anything whatsoever but die. That is something we can’t get out of, but we can determine where we’ll spend the rest of eternity in Heaven or Hell. These demonic “Yokes” are custom designed for each person, because Satan knows just which “Yoke” will work on any person she goes after! Can I leave you with a question to ponder today if I may?
“Are YOU Dealing With, Or Suffering From A Demonic “Yoke” Right Now?” If so, the only entity that can break that “Yoke” is our Lord and Savior in Heaven! Go before Him today and ask Him to break the “Yoke” Satan has placed over your life!
Can I Get An AMEN????
