Morning Light - November 21st, 2014: True Prophets Acting Falsely (Video)

Today: [Numbers Chapter Twenty-Four] True Prophets Acting Falsely. Do you think you know a false prophet? Or perhaps in truth you simply saw a true prophet acting falsely! In this chapter we find the continued efforts of Balaam to curse God’s people. You will have in your life from time to time those who will make every effort to make you miserable. They will pray, sacrifice, humble themselves at great lengths hoping that God will somehow act in their behalf to bring you to shame. Every time Balaam opens his mouth to curse God brings a greater blessing. The end of Balaam is a caution to us when we speak criticism against our brothers and sisters. When we criticize and vilify others we bring swift and unnecessary retribution down on our own lives that could have been avoided if we had simply quieted ourselves before God.
