Don’t Hurt Your Help!

Numbers 22:21-35

Last year while on a corporate fast, the LORD led me to the Biblical encounter between Baaliim and his donkey. The message HE gave me to share with the people of GOD was: “Don’t hurt your help.”

GOD always sends warning before destruction but we as people sometimes can be so driven by what we would prefer to do that we fail to heed the warnings of GOD. Baaliim was in error. He had been previously instructed that he could not curse whom GOD had blessed. Yet, because they paid him, he persisted and GOD told him to go. GOD is not a forceful GOD. HE gives us options yet, HE also tells us with these options what consequences may follow. Baaliim chose to be more impressive to people opposed to heeding the warnings of GOD. This nearly led him to his own destruction.

Baaliim had a faithful donkey that could see GOD in the way. There was an angel of the LORD preparing to slay him for his disobedience. She turned out of the way three times to save his life and yet he persisted. He became so angry with her that he struck her, three times. Finally, GOD opened her mouth and she spoke.

Immediately, he was repented of his actions. Not to the donkey but to the LORD. GOD had to tell him if it were not for her he would have been slain and she would have been saved. Baaliim didn’t realize that he had become a prophet for profit. He was wiling to disobey the WORD of the LORD to his own detriment. WORD of HOPE: Obedience to GOD can be a matter of death and life. Times are trying and increasingly growing evil. We cannot afford to be out of order. Heed HIS warnings and continue the work that HE has called you to do. There are people that GOD has destined to help you, protect them, pray over them, and cover them. Don’t hurt your help!
