King Balak wanted something done about the large number of Israelites that moved in to his territory, so he sent for Balaam the prophet. Balaam had a reputation that whoever he blessed was blessed, and whoever he cursed was cursed.<\/span><\/p><p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 12pt; margin-bottom: 12pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(34, 34, 34); background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">King Balak sent men to Balaam\u2019s house asking him to come. At first, God told Balaam not to go, but the king sent more men with bribes to persuade Balaam. And although it should\u2019ve been a done deal, the prophet asks God again and this time God says he can go with them. But when Balaam gets up the next day to go with the king\u2019s men, God is angry with him.<\/span><\/p><p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 12pt; margin-bottom: 12pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(34, 34, 34); background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">Jude 1:11 explains why: \u201c<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(34, 34, 34); background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: italic; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">Woe to them!

He must have thought all night about the rewards he was going to receive from the king and his heart shifted.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p><p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 12pt; margin-bottom: 12pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(34, 34, 34); background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">But once Balaam receives correction, an angel of God tells him, \u201cGo with these men, but only say what God tells you to say.\u201d<\/span><\/p><h3 dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 14pt; margin-bottom: 4pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(34, 34, 34); background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">THIS IS IMPORTANT<\/span><\/h3><p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 12pt; margin-bottom: 12pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(34, 34, 34); background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">Multiple times, King Balak took the prophet up on a high mountain to see the vast number of people and asked him to curse them. But ultimately Balaam could not. Instead he pronounced a blessing over the people. He said, <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(34, 34, 34); background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: italic; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">\u201cGod is not a man, that He should lie, nor a son of man, that He should repent. Has He said, and will He not do? Or has He spoken, and will He not make it good? Behold, I have received a command to bless; He has blessed, and I cannot reverse it\u201d (Numbers 23:19-20).<\/span><\/p><p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 12pt; margin-bottom: 12pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(34, 34, 34); background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">And this is what God wanted us to understand about His righteousness.
