Taking Your Own Stand
when Harm is Spoken Against YOU!

Numbers 23
7 And Balaam took up his oracle and said:
"Balak the king of Moab has brought me from Aram,
From the mountains of the east.
'Come, curse Jacob for me, And come, denounce Israel!'
8 "How shall I curse whom God has not cursed?
And how shall I denounce whom the LORD has not denounced? ....
20 Behold, I have received a command to bless;
He has blessed, and I cannot reverse it.
21 "He has not observed iniquity in Jacob, Nor has He seen wickedness in Israel.
The LORD his God is with him, And the shout of a King is among them.
22 God brings them out of Egypt; He has strength like a wild ox.
23 "For there is no sorcery against Jacob, Nor any divination against Israel.
It now must be said of Jacob And of Israel, 'Oh, what God has done!'
24 Look, a people rises like a lioness, And lifts itself up like a lion;
It shall not lie down until it devours the prey, And drinks the blood of the slain."
NKJV

Over the past few days we have been examining God's method of coming out of a situation of misfortune and injustice. In order to do this, we need first to give our life to the Lord and after that to speak God's purpose into our life, so that our direction changes for the good.

If you have not yet surrendered your life to the Lord, right now is a good time to do so. You can pray aloud like this:

Prayer:
Father in heaven, today I want to surrender my life to You. I want to change my direction and have a lifestyle that is pleasing to You, so that I can come out of misfortune and have Your blessing upon my life.
I believe that Jesus died on the cross to pay for my sins and came back to life so that I can have new life in Him. I believe that His blood cleanses me from sin, and I receive Him now into my life as my Saviour and Lord.
Lord Jesus, today I give my life to You. Please come into my heart and make changes in me so that my life pleases You.
Amen.

When you have surrendered to Jesus, you can make these declarations about yourself:

I declare that nobody can speak misfortune and ill-will me, because God has not cursed me. Nobody can denounce and condemn me, because my Father has declared me free of condemnation.
I declare that because the blood of Jesus has made me just as if I never sinned, God has observed no iniquity in me. I am free from sin in His sight.
I declare that God has given the command that I am blessed, and nobody can reverse that command and curse me, because I am blessed by God.
I declare that the Lord my God is with me and I am walking with Him all the days of my life. Therefore, the shout of my God and King is in my life. His shout is overtaking me in my spirit, soul and body and I walk with Him blameless.
I declare that my God brings me out of this Egypt situation of injustice and bondage. I declare that He is strong as a wild ox and will accomplish this in my life. I will walk with Him out of injustice and bondage.
I declare that because I have no agreement with unrighteousness, injustice and bondage, no witchcraft worked against me can damage my life, no one can curse, denounce or condemn me.
I declare: "Look what the Lord has done in my life!"
I drop off victim mentality ad I rise up like a lioness and I go forth like the Lion of Judah. I will not take my rest again and become passive in my inner person.
I will continue to speak for myself until I have come free out of unrighteousness, injustice and bondage, walking with the Lord in righteousness, so His blessing can be upon my life without measure.
