Question

What did Balaam fail to see when he judged the people by their sins?

Answer

And Balaam looked upon that people, and he thought, “Looky here…” Now, listen. He thought, surely, that a holy moral God would have to curse a people like that, that done such things as that. But when looking upon them, he looked; he said, “Now, looky. They’ve done this; they’ve done that. Surely, there’s not a holy God in heaven could look upon that, and—and absolutely have any blessing with that Church. ’Cause, look at them. They have done this, and they’ve done that.” He looked at it from the eye standpoint, from the moral standpoint, trying to judge a people by a moral God, holy God. But he failed to see the smitten rock before them, and the brazen serpent, that atonement that forgave their sins. And so is it today, when a people laugh and say, “Them Divine healers, them holy-rollers, they done this and that.” I’ll admit it. But they fail to see the Blood of Jesus Christ, the Son of God, moving on before the Church. That’s right. It atones. There’s a sin atonement made for the Church. And people, you who know God, move on. God is for you. No matter how much they try to put a curse on it, it can’t be done. The Blood of Christ separates that. God did not look upon any people as their own moral standards. The only thing He looks at, is the Blood of His own Son, Jesus Christ. And any persons that’s under that Blood is safely protected. Amen.
