The Devil is the Taskmasters for Oppression and Destruction

And the LORD said, I have surely seen the affliction of my people which are in Egypt, and have heard their cry by reason of their taskmasters; for I know their sorrows;” (Exodus 3:7 KJV)


The devil is our taskmasters indeed. He will send sorrows and unnecessary burdens to us. “And it came to pass in process of time, that the king of Egypt died: and the children of Israel sighed by reason of the bondage, and they cried, and their cry came up unto God by reason of the bondage.” (Exodus 3:7; 2:23) The devil has all the power to oppress us, and if given the opportunity he will totally destroy us. The life of the Hebrews during the times of Moses is a picture of the life of Christians who are being oppressed by the enemy. The Scripture says; “Now therefore, behold, the cry of the children of Israel is come unto me: and I have also seen the oppression wherewith the Egyptians oppress them.” (Exodus 3:9 KJV)

What does it mean to be oppressed? It would meant, that you will experience a spiritual battle against the devil. The believers are the devil’s target for obsession, and then oppression. But we can’t be possessed by the devil. And not even be re- possessed by the devil. (Ephesians 6:10-18) We can have victory in the Lord Jesus Christ. His precious blood and the rebuke in the name of Jesus and by the blood of the Lamb will cause the devil to depart from you. The Bible says; “And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.” (Revelation 12:11 KJV)
