TRIUMPHING OVER YOUR TASKMASTERS
In
the book of Exodus chapter one, after Joseph and his whole generation
had died, the Israelite's were fruitful, and increased abundantly in
Egypt because of him. When the new king had seen this, he was fearful
and put task masters over them to oppress them. The task masters made
their lives bitter with harsh labor and afflicted them with heavy
burdens; but as they did this, something unusual was happening. The more
that the Israelite's were oppressed as the Egyptians worked them
ruthlessly, the more they multiplied and spread abroad.
The
Holy Spirit is showing me that many of you have been driven and
oppressed by the enemy, as well as used and abused by people. Some of
you have gone through situations which have been brutal. As you fear God
and not man, these afflictions are going to bring you into expansion,
growth and prosperity.
The
Lord says; those who have tried to manipulate you and belittle you will
soon recognize the favor on your life. Those who have tried to control
you and oppress you will soon withdraw because of the shield of
protection that I have around you. No one could bring harm to you as I
am faithful to My word. I will establish you and guard you against all
matter of evil. Don't fear the spiritual weapons that are formed against
you because they shall not succeed, and every tongue that rises against
you in judgment shall prove to be false. The evil assignments that are
coming against you will be rendered null and void. As the enemy tries to
bring devastation and destruction, I will preserve your life. This is
your heritage as you abide in Me. Listen for My voice in every
situation. Know that I am present in every assault and violation says
the Lord.
Then
the Holy Spirit showed me something else in the same paragraph of
Exodus chapter one. In verses 15-21 The king Pharaoh ordered the
midwives to kill the first born males as they were born, but the
midwives refused. When he asked them why they didn't obey, the midwives
replied: "because the Hebrew women are not like the Egyptian women; for
they are lively and give birth before the midwives come to them."
The
Lord says: You will observe things coming into fruition and coming to
pass expeditiously in your personal life. The intentions that I have for
you will come forth suddenly. And just as the Israeli women, you are
going to produce in a way that will amaze others. They will witness My
goodness as they see your harvest in abundance. You will see the
increase even before the midwives come to assist you. This will release
you into favor with the Pharaoh's and the oppressors, and many will
begin to submit and reverence My name. Even your enemies will be at
peace with you as they see My goodness increase in your life says the
Lord.
Exodus 1:11-14
Therefore
they set taskmasters over them to afflict them with their burdens. And
they built for Pharaoh supply cities, Pithom and Raamses. But the more
they afflicted them, the more they multiplied and grew. And they were in
dread of the children of Israel. So the Egyptians made the children of
Israel serve with rigor. And they made their lives bitter with hard
bondage-in mortar, in brick, and in all manner of service in the field.
All their service in which they made them serve was with rigor.
Exodus 1:16-18
So
the king of Egypt called for the midwives and said to them, "Why have
you done this thing, and saved the male children alive?" And the
midwives said to Pharaoh, "Because the Hebrew women are not like the
Egyptian women; for they are lively and give birth before the midwives
come to them. "Therefore God dealt well with the midwives, and the
people multiplied and grew very mighty. And so it was, because the
midwives feared God that He provided households for them.
Psalm 41:11
By this I know that You are well pleased with me, because my enemy does not triumph over me.
Luke 12:32
Fear not, little flock, for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom.
