Tuesday 13th Oct: THE ANOINTING THAT BREAKS THE YOKE
The yoke is anything that keeps a person in bondage and prevents them from enjoying God's purpose for their life. It may be sin, sickness, poverty, fear, addiction, delay, oppression, or any burden planted by the enemy. In Bible days, a yoke was a wooden instrument placed on the neck of animals to control and limit their movement. Spiritually, a yoke represents every power, circumstance, or force that seeks to control, suppress, and frustrate a person's destiny. But God has provided a remedy: *the anointing.* The anointing is the power, presence, and operation of the Holy Spirit upon a believer. Wherever the anointing flows, chains are broken, burdens are lifted, doors are opened, and captives are set free. What human effort cannot change, the anointing can destroy in a moment. The enemy may bind, but the anointing loosens. The enemy may imprison, but the anointing delivers. The enemy may limit, but the anointing enlarges. When God's anointing comes upon a life, every stubborn yoke must give way.
