“Glory to the Precious name of our Lord Jesus Christ”
Genesis 12: 3 I will bless those who bless you, and I will curse him who curses you; and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.
May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen
Hallelujah
We, the bride, the church should not give place to any other evil powers and we must safeguard our soul.
My dear brothers and sisters in Christ, in the portion of the Bible that we meditated upon in the past days, we meditated that from our souls, the bride, the church we must remove the deeds of the Amorites, deeds of Ammon, deeds of Moab, deeds of Bashan and such kind of evil thoughts from our soul.
But next what we are going to meditate upon is Numbers 22: 1 – 9 Then the children of Israel moved, and camped in the plains of Moab on the side of the Jordan across from Jericho.
Now Balak the son of Zippor saw all that Israel had done to the Amorites.
And Moab was exceedingly afraid of the people because they were many, and Moab was sick with dread because of the children of Israel.
So Moab said to the elders of Midian, “Now this company will lick up everything around us, as an ox licks up the grass of the field.” And Balak the son of Zippor was king of the Moabites at that time.
Then he sent messengers to Balaam the son of Beor at Pethor, which is near the River in the land of the sons of his people, to call him, saying: “Look, a people has come from Egypt. See, they cover the face of the earth, and are settling next to me!
Therefore please come at once, curse this people for me, for they are too mighty for me. Perhaps I shall be able to defeat them and drive them out of the land, for I know that he whom you bless is blessed, and he whom you curse is cursed.”
So the elders of Moab and the elders of Midian departed with the diviner’s fee in their hand, and they came to Balaam and spoke to him the words of Balak.
And he said to them, “Lodge here tonight, and I will bring back word to you, as the Lord speaks to me.” So the princes of Moab stayed with Balaam.
Then God came to Balaam and said, “Who are these men with you?”
When we meditate upon the above-mentioned verses Israel, the church overcame the Amorites then they journeyed and camped in the plains of Moab on the side of the Jordan across from Jericho. Now Balak the son of Zippor saw all that Israel had done to the Amorites. And Moab was exceedingly afraid because the Israelites were many, and Moab was sick with dread and said to the elders of Midian, “Now this company will lick up everything around us, as an ox licks up the grass of the field.” And Balak the son of Zippor was king of the Moabites at that time.
That is, the reason why he is showing as a pattern that others were afraid seeing Israel, the church is 1 Thessalonians 4: 14 – 18 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who sleep in Jesus.
For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will by no means precede those who are asleep.
For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first.
Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord.
Therefore comfort one another with these words.
When our Lord Jesus Christ with his crores of angels with his holy people arises in our soul, he destroys the Gentiles there and God will be victorious. In this manner, God will arise in our soul as victorious Christ. Balak who had known this, hindered the spiritual deliverance of Israel, the church and thinking that he can take victory so he sent messengers to bring Balaam the son of Beor in the land of the sons of his people to Pethor, which is near the river, and he is telling regarding the Israelites and sending them and this is a pattern that God is building.
That is, they are mightier than me but I know that he whom you bless is blessed, and he whom you curse is cursed. Therefore, please come and curse those people for me and he told to tell that then maybe I shall be able to defeat them and drive them out of this land. So the elders of Moab and the elders of Midian departed taking the diviner’s fee from Balak, and they came to Balaam and spoke to him the words of Balak. And then Balaam said to them, “Lodge here tonight, and I will bring back word to you, as the Lord speaks to me.” So they stayed there. But God came to Balaam and said, “Who are these men with you?”
My dear people, what the Lord is showing as a pattern is that to destroy the fellowship of the holy ones in our soul, the Gentiles cunningly through the servants of God enter inside and will try to work in our soul. Therefore, we must always be carefully always regarding everyone. This is because using Balaam, Balak is thinking of cursing the Israelites. But God knowing this, when Balak sent people to cheat Balaam because Balaam accepted them to himself, God is asking him who are these men with you. God, who knew who had come to him because he gave place to diviners he is asking in this manner.
My dear people, in our soul, which is the house of God we must not give place for any other Gentile power and we must be careful and safeguard ourselves. Let us submit ourselves in this manner.
Let us pray. May the Lord bless you all abundantly.
