You Shall See Them No More....


Do you remember the story of Balak and Balaam? It is found in Numbers 22 through to Numbers 24. Three times Balaam blessed the children of Israel instead of cursing them as Balak had asked him to do. Their mistake? The children of God were becoming too powerful. God had/was blessing them abundantly. The nations around them did not like this turn of events.

Do you also remember that it is in this story that God sent an angel with a sword to stand before Balaam and the city of God? That he might not go ahead and curse it? Balaam blessed them from three different angles instead of cursing them.

There are specific excerpts from that story that have caught my attention. The angel of the Lord ordered Balaam to speak only the words he tells him over Israel (Num 22:35).

Do you know what he was to say?:

Num 23:8- How shall I curse whom God hath not cursed? Or how shall I defy,whom the Lord hath not defied? (1st Round).

Num 23:19-23-God is not a man, that He should lie;neither the son of man,that he should repent: hath he said,and shall he not do it? Or hath he spoken,and shall he not make it good? Behold, I have received commandment to bless,and he hath blessed and I cannot reverse it. He hath not beheld iniquity in Jacob, neither hath he seen perverseness in Israel,the Lord his God is with him.
Surely, there is no enchantment against Jacob, neither is there divination against Israel, according to this time it shall be said of Jacob and Israel, What hath God wrought!  (2nd Round)

Num 24:1-9 but emphasis on 8 and 9- God brought him forth out of Egypt,he hath as it were the strength of an unicorn,he shall eat up the nations his enemies,and shall break their bones,and pierce them through with his arrows. He couched,he lay down as a lion,and as a great lion,who shall stir up? Blessed is he that blesseth thee,and cursed is he that curseth thee. (3rd Round).

Friends, the enemies you see today,you shall see them no more. They meant it for evil but God turned it for good.They sit in wait to destroy you and conspire on how to curse you,slander you and ruin you BUT they shall bless you instead.

This post is dedicated to my friend; you know yourself. And to many others whom might be fighting different battles due to the level God has elevated you. Like the angel of the Lord who stood between Balaam and the city of God, so shall God stand between you and your enemies. They shall not curse you!
