Joshua SelmanHOST
The Bible says that they found the nation of Israel gathered together, and they assumed a certain formation with the ark being in their center.
Joshua SelmanHOST
And when they called on Balaam to curse them, he tried and it did not work.
Joshua SelmanHOST
He said, "Listen, a shout of the king is in the midst of them." There is a formation that has produced power that no matter what it is that has come, it's being resisted.

Amen.
Joshua SelmanGUEST
I wish we had the time.
Joshua SelmanGUEST
We would have spoken about a man in the Bible called Balaam.
Joshua SelmanGUEST
We would have followed the progression of how that guy got into a disaster.
Joshua SelmanGUEST
Are we together? It started from the error of Balaam.
Joshua SelmanGUEST
It was an error.
Joshua SelmanGUEST
Then eventually it became a way of Balaam.
Joshua SelmanGUEST
By the time we get to Revelation, it had become the doctrine of Balaam.
Joshua SelmanGUEST
God told you, buy only three cars.
Jonathan McNairGUEST
And I sent before you Moses, Aaron, and Miriam.
Jonathan McNairGUEST
O my people, remember now what Balak, king of Moab, counseled, and what Balaam, the son of Beor, answered him.
Jonathan McNairGUEST
From Acacia Grove to Gilgal, that you may know the righteousness of the Lord.
Jonathan McNairGUEST
He says then, with what shall I come before the Lord and bow myself before the high God? Shall I come before him with burnt offerings, with calves a year old? Verse 7, will the Lord be pleased with thousands of rams, 10,000 rivers of oil? Shall I give my firstborn for my transgression, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul? And the key is verse 8 says, well, he has shown you, O man, what is good.
Merenaisi WaqavakatogaGUEST
And you hold fast to my name and did not deny my faith, even in the days which Antipas was my faithful martyr, who was killed among you, where Satan's dwells.
Merenaisi WaqavakatogaGUEST
But I have a few things against you because you have there those who hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balaam to put a stumbling block before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed to idols and to commit sexual immorality.
Merenaisi WaqavakatogaGUEST
Thus, you also have those who hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitans, which thing I hate.
Merenaisi WaqavakatogaGUEST
Repent! or else I will come to you quickly and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth.
Merenaisi WaqavakatogaGUEST
He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches, to him who overcomes.
Merenaisi WaqavakatogaGUEST
I will give some of the hidden manna to eat, and I will give him a white stone, and on that stone a new name written, which no one knows except him who receives it.
Merenaisi WaqavakatogaGUEST
The compromising church, what do they teach? They teach the doctrine of Balaam and they teach the doctrine of the Nicolaitans.
Merenaisi WaqavakatogaGUEST
And if we study the doctrine of Balaam, it says it's a biblical warning against compromising religious faith, engaging in idolatry and using spiritual positions for financial greed.

There is a formation that has produced power that no matter what it is that has come, it's been resisted.
speaker_4NARRATOR
There were certainly some occasions when the words were given to the human agents.
speaker_4NARRATOR
Take the instance of Balaam, numbers 22, 38, 23, 12, and 16.
speaker_4NARRATOR
It is clear that this self-seeking prophet thought, that is, desired, to speak differently from what he did, but was obliged to speak the word that God put in his mouth.
speaker_4NARRATOR
There are two incontrovertible witnesses to this, one being Balaam himself and the other God.
speaker_4NARRATOR
Take Saul, 1 Samuel 10.10, or, at a later time, his messengers, 1 Samuel 19.20-24.
speaker_4NARRATOR
No one will claim that there was not an inspiration of the words here.
speaker_4NARRATOR
2.
speaker_4NARRATOR
The Bible plainly teaches that inspiration extends to its words.
Michael YoussefHOST
Oh, but Jesus immediately goes in with a word of condemnation because they had one big, humongous sin that is creeping among them.
Michael YoussefHOST
You have people there in your church who hold to the teaching of Balaam.
Michael YoussefHOST
Balaam was a fortune teller.
Michael YoussefHOST
And so, before the people of God got into the promised land, a pagan king brought him in and he said, now Balaam, I want you to curse these people.
Michael YoussefHOST
And here is a bucket full of cash.
Michael YoussefHOST
I mean, he looks at that cash and he couldn't wait to go and curse God's people.
Michael YoussefHOST
And the pagan king was frustrated.
Michael YoussefHOST
So he piles more cash and more cash.
David HerzogGUEST
that's the issue i don't hear many people worshiping jews right now it's the opposite i'm that's what i wrote the book it's that's the bigger problem right now 20 years ago yeah that was the thing people yeah that's a good
Steve SchultzHOST
point right there that is a good point because that that would be a difference that was 2000 26 years ago actually uh yeah and i was reading about uh in the bible the other day yesterday probably about the whole story of balaam and And they wanted Balaam, the guy wanted, he wanted Balaam to curse Israel.
Steve SchultzHOST
And he kept coming back to God, which is Balaam was stubborn.
Steve SchultzHOST
And God made God angry because God was going to almost wipe out Balaam because he was, even though God gave him permission to go see the king one more time, he was going to wipe out Balaam anyway, almost because he was so stubborn to want to go.
Steve SchultzHOST
So they finally, after three attempts, Balaam finally obeys God in every way, blesses Israel, makes the king man, all that.
Steve SchultzHOST
And so the whole lesson is portrayed before the world.
Steve SchultzHOST
And the very next chapter shows Israel prostituting themselves before God.
Steve SchultzHOST

J.C. RyleSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Let us remember that some have seemed good soldiers for a little while, for a little season, and they've talked loudly of what they would do, and yet they turn back disgracefully in the day of battle.
J.C. RyleSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Let us never forget Balaam and Judas and Damas and Lot's wife.
J.C. RyleSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Whatever we are and however weak, let us be real and genuine and true soldiers.
J.C. RyleSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Let us remember that the eye of our loving Savior is upon us morning, noon, and night.
speaker_0HOST
It says there were three advisors.
speaker_0HOST
There was Bilaam, There was Job and there was Yitro.
speaker_0HOST
So how did Job react? It says he said nothing.
speaker_0HOST
And in fact, all of the difficulties in his life, of which Job is famous for, happened because he said nothing.
