Deception

"Woe unto them! for they have gone in the way of Cain, and ran greedily after the error of Balaam for reward". The error of balaam was that he "TAUGHT balac to cast stumbling blocks before the children of Israel to eat things sacrificed unto idols and to commit fornication"( REV 2: 14). Balaam was a man that could hear a word from GOD with incredible speed! When the men came to seek him out for king balac, he told them, that GOD would speak to him that night! and it happen! But balaam was after REWARD! not after the things of GOD or out to help the people of GOD! A reward is different to different people! to some it may be money, to others prestige, and on and on. But what balaam did was teach Balac which his name means (a devastator or spoiler) balaam taught the king of moab how to defeat Israel, because nothing else would work. GOD would not curse his kids!!! but a deceiver found out a way to get JEHOVAH GOD to become so ANGRY, Because of idolatry and whoring themselves out to the world, GOD sent a plague among his disobedient people. Never once did balaam try to convience Isreal that there was more than one God, all he did was offer them a stumblingblock! Y.F.T

In these last days there are many voices. Satan knows there is only one God - he won't go there. A little leaven...
