God has designed each of His children to live in victory. Victory over sin, feelings of inadequacy, circumstances beyond our control, and many other things we encounter on a daily basis. Paul tells us in Romans 8: 37, “We are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.” The word “conqueror” means to be a super-victor.
God gave Moses and Israel promises of victory and deliverance. So Moses went to the people, who were in Egyptian bondage, with the good news. The Scripture says, “Then Moses and Aaron went and gathered together all the elders of the children of Israel. And Aaron spoke all the words which the Lord had spoken to Moses. Then he did signs in the sight of the people. So the people believed, and when they heard that the Lord had visited the children of Israel and that He had looked on their affliction, then they bowed their heads and worshipped” (Exodus 4:29-31).
It was a time of hope and rejoicing. Everyone cried, “Hallelujah! We are finally free! God has heard our cry and our bondage is over. Praise Him.”
Yet, what happened next also happens in our life. Things got worse. Israel’s bondage became absolutely unbearable. They were given no straw for making bricks and they endured heavy beatings from them taskmasters. Pharaoh raged at Israel’s leaders, “Get out of my sight. Back to work.”
We need to understand, that the devil knew Israel’s deliverance was right at the door, so do you think he was going to sit by and not make one last attempt to wear out God’s people?
When the devil sees you driven to your knees, he knows God’s victory for you is on the way. The devil seeks to enflame people against you and send lying spirits to falsely accuse you. He will flood you with all kinds of false guilt and condemnation.
When this happens, remind the enemy of what happened on the cross and start rejoicing, your victory and deliverance is on the way.
