Feb 11 - Num. 22-24

I love this story, not because of the incident with the donkey, but because of the truth of the power of the prophetic word. Balaam was a prophet of God. He talked with God and God used him because he said what God told him to say. He kept telling Balak that, but it just didn't sink in I guess. "I can only say what God tells me to say."

There are two things in my spirit. One is that I need to be about the business of blessing and to be known as a person, when I bless, a blessing is giving. Second I need to avoid cursing others like the plague, especially God's people. I don't think of cursing like some kind of witch's brew incantation, I think of a curse like, "they will never make it", or "what an idiot", or other things like that. It was said to Abram, and it is true today, whoever blesses God's people is blessed, and whoever curses God's people is cursed. Even if it is God's people who do the cursing.
