Prophetic Word
"But one who prophesies speaks to men for edification and exhortation and consolation."
(1 Cor 14:3)
How it is is not how it will be. All things can be changed, and nothing is impossible.
Look up. Look past your circumstances to My unchanging love and My unchanging declaration. I will be who I will be. I will reveal another aspect of My character as you look to Me.
I want you to see Me as I really am.
Breathe. Quiet your soul. Bring your thoughts to My word, to My promise, to the stories of others like you who found deliverance and healing and miracles.
Your heritage is that of the saints who overcame by My power at work in them. I want the same testimony for you-- that you drew upon My word, My love, My grace, My power, and you saw My goodness.
You are never alone. Elisha knew the army of heaven surrounded him and his servant, but the servant needed to be shown. You are blessed when you believe without having to see.
"So he answered, 'Do not fear, for those who are with us are more than those who are with them.'
Then Elisha prayed and said, 'O LORD, I pray, open his eyes that he may see.' And the LORD opened the servant's eyes and he saw; and behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha."
(2 Kin 6:16-17)

Agreement With His Blessing
Seeing what Israel had done in battle against the Amorites,
King Balak of Moab was afraid that his people were next in Israel's strategy of
intended conquests through the wilderness. Worried that his army was not able
to withstand the onslaught, he sought supernatural help to oppose them.
Balak sent messengers with payment to the highly-regarded pagan
prophet, Balaam, who had a reputation for releasing blessings or curses. If Balaam would call upon his spiritual
resources and curse Israel, then perhaps Moab could drive them back and defeat
them.
That night, God came to Balaam and warned him not to go with
the men and not to curse Israel, because they were blessed. So he obeyed.
Balak tried again to convince Balaam to come curse Israel by
offering to reward him richly. Again Balaam refused, but suggested the men wait
until he could ask God again about the matter. That night, God gave him
permission to go, but on the condition that Balaam only speak what God told him
to say. When Balaam went, God was angry.
Some have wondered why?
The fact that God had already given a definite "no" the first time
should have been enough, but as it was, Balaam's persistence won out.
As he went, the angel of the Lord stood in his path with a
drawn sword ready to strike him dead.
That would have been the end of the story except Balaam's donkey could
see the angel and moved away from him. This happened two more times as Balaam could
not see the angel and thought his donkey was just being difficult.
After he arrived, Balak took him to the high places of Baal,
so that he could see a portion of Israel.
He began to speak blessing over Israel to the dismay of the Moabite
king. Balak took him to another
location and tried again. Before it was over, Balaam had prophesied blessing
over Israel four times.
"... Blessed is
everyone who blesses you, and cursed is everyone who curses you." (Num
24:9)
"Bless" - "to declare happy and prosperous, to speak well of"
"Curse" - "to revile, to make little or contemptible, to
speak evil of"
Even a pagan prophet had enough sense to know better than to
curse whom God had blessed!
Blessing and Cursing
In Mark 11, Jesus cursed the fig tree by saying, "May
no one ever eat fruit from you again!" When the disciples saw it shriveled
up the next day, Jesus taught that words produce change. Words are powerful.
"Truly I say to
you, whoever says to this mountain, 'Be taken up and cast into the sea,' and
does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says is going to happen,
it will be granted him." (Mark 11:23)
Since this is true, we are to be in agreement with what and
whom He has blessed. Where God has
commanded blessing, we are wise to adhere to what He has said.
"With [the tongue] we bless our
Lord and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in the likeness
of God; from the same mouth come both blessing and cursing. My brethren,
these things ought not to be this way." (James 3:9-10)
Certainly this is an
admonition to not curse men, but also,rather than be silent, we can choose to speak words
of blessing to release greater blessing.
It is almost comical how in a moment of frustration, someone
may curse their car or job or another person. Wouldn't the smart thing be to speak life and blessing instead? If your
car gives you trouble, it does not need to be cursed, but blessed!
Our words are often meant to be accompanied by action. We are blessed to BE a blessing!
"Little children, let us not love with word or with tongue, but in deed and truth." (1 John 3:18)
What do you say about yourself and your circumstances? Are
you blessing yourself or cursing yourself?
Are you blessing people?
Israel?
Your nation?
May we speak our blessing to echo His.
"And blessed is she who believed that there would be a fulfillment of what had been spoken to her by the Lord." (Luke 1:45) |

Nuggets from Entrepreneurs & Ministry Leaders
"Did
you know that the church is only mentioned about 3 times in the New Testament and
that the kingdom is mentioned over 80 times? God is looking for
disciples, not church-goers, whose passion is to release His heart, His
love and His kingdom everywhere they go." ~ Barbara Yoder Barbara Yoder Blog"Overcoming fears and taking risks go hand in hand. Start small and
dream big. You only have one journey on this earth, so you might as
well make the most of it!" ~ Alvin Slaughter Alvin Slaughter Ministries International |

their land." (2 Chr 7:14)
