Prayers that break the yoke.





As Christians, we often hear the phrase "take my yoke upon you," but what exactly is a yoke? A yoke is a wooden beam used to harness two animals together for plowing or pulling heavy loads. Can you imagine carrying heavy loads and having a wooden beam put around your neck? In the Bible, yokes are often used as a metaphor for burdens or oppressive situations that weigh us down and hinder our progress.

Yokes can come in various forms that hinder our walk with God. These yokes can be caused by sin, fear, doubt, anxiety, un-forgiveness, and even wrong beliefs. Scripture we can look at is Lamentations 1:14 says, "The yoke of my transgressions is bound by his hand: they are wreathed, and come up upon my neck: he hath made my strength to fall, the Lord hath delivered me into their hands, from whom I am not able to rise up." This verse shows how sin can lead to the yoke of bondage, but with prayer and repentance, we can break free from it. Yokes can limit our progress, prevent us from experiencing the fullness of God's blessings, and keep us from fulfilling our purpose in Christ. In some cases, yokes can be generational, passed down from our ancestors or parents. For instance, if someone in your family had a history of addiction, it could create a yoke of addiction that one may struggle with as well. Similarly, if someone grew up in a family where poverty was the norm, they may struggle with a poverty mindset that creates a yoke of lack and scarcity.




Yokes can also be caused by external factors, such as societal pressures or cultural expectations that do not align with God's Word. For example, society may place a yoke of perfectionism on us, causing us to strive for perfection rather than embracing God's grace.

Ultimately, anything that draws us away from God and His plan for our lives can create a yoke that needs to be broken. The good news is that we have the power through Christ to break any yoke that seeks to hinder our spiritual growth and progress.

Isaiah 10:27 says, "And it shall come to pass in that day, that his burden shall be taken away from off thy shoulder, and his yoke from off thy neck, and the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing." This verse reminds us that God has the power to break the yoke that binds us and give us freedom. In addition we have also been given this power through our Lord Jesus to break every these yokes through prayer. In Luke 10:19 Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you.

Jeremiah 30:8 says, "For it shall come to pass in that day, saith the Lord of hosts, that I will break his yoke from off thy neck, and will burst thy bonds, and strangers shall no more serve themselves of him." This verse emphasizes that God will break the yoke and free us from bondage.




We can look at Hannah's example in 1 Samuel 1.Hannah was a woman in the Bible who struggled with infertility and the shame that came with it in her culture. She was married to Elkanah, but she was unable to conceive a child, while Elkanah's other wife, Peninnah, had children.Despite her struggle, Hannah never gave up hope. She went to the temple to pray and poured her heart out to God, weeping and pleading for a child. She promised to dedicate her child to God if He would grant her the blessing of motherhood. Through her fervent prayer, Hannah broke the yoke of barrenness and became pregnant with a son, whom she named Samuel. She kept her promise to God and brought Samuel to the temple to be raised by the priest Eli and serve in the house of the Lord. Hannah's story is a testament to the power of faith and prayer. She refused to give in to the yoke of barrenness and instead turned to God for help. Her perseverance and trust in God's plan led to the birth of one of the greatest prophets of the Old Testament. Despite the discouragement and criticism from Peninnah, Hannah continued to pray to God for a child. She made a vow to the Lord, promising that if He would give her a son, she would dedicate him to His service. In 1 Samuel 1:12-13, it says, "As she continued praying before the Lord, Eli watched her mouth. Hannah was praying in her heart and her lips were moving, but her voice was not heard." Eli, the priest, initially accused Hannah of being drunk because of how fervently she was praying, but she explained her situation to him and he blessed her. God answered Hannah's prayer, and she gave birth to a son whom she named Samuel, which means "heard by God." True to her word, Hannah dedicated Samuel to the Lord's service, and he became a great prophet who anointed Saul and David as kings of Israel. Hannah's story is a powerful example of how prayer can break the yoke of barrenness and lead to blessings beyond what we could imagine. She did not let the criticism and discouragement of others stop her from pursuing what she believed God had promised her. Instead, she turned to God in prayer and faith, and He answered her prayers in a way that

In conclusion, a yoke represents burdens or oppressive situations that can weigh us down and hinder our progress. However, through prayer and faith, we can break the yoke and receive God's freedom and blessings.
