Question

What did Balaam fail to see when he expected God to curse Israel?

Answer

Now, what more? Now, look. If the world calls us crazy. If the world thinks that we are just about half off up here…Look. Because that those signs appeared just where I’m at, and this Angel of the Lord, and so forth, that doesn’t mean that it’s just me, friends. What does that mean? What is God trying to get to you? He’s trying to get to you to this, that I am telling you the truth. He’s a vindicating me by His truth. See what I mean? And I’m telling you of Jesus Christ, and He’s coming down confirming that I’m telling the truth. What kind of people should we be? Patriarchs has longed to see this day. Wesley, Moody, Sankey, Finney, Knox, Calvin, all of them longed for this day. And here we set today, scared to move. Oh, my, my, my. Because the world makes fun of you, because you got something out there, people criticize you. They did the same thing about Israel. Didn’t the false prophet Balaam, thought surely that God would curse Israel, because they’d done just about as much as the holiness churches done today. Every unclean thing that could be done, and could be done, they did it. But Balaam failed to see the blood on the altar. He failed to see the atonement made that was standing between Israel. And here’s where it is today. People, you are God-called and chosen. I’m not ashamed to take myself with you. I’m numbered with you. “In the way that’s called heresy, so worship I the God of our fathers.”
