6 - out of injustice
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.
NKJV
The people of Israel had been in a situation of bondage and injustice in Egypt.
This is what verse 22 is referring to. God was in the process of bringing them
into a place of freedom.
There are times in life when we, like the people of Isreal, need to be released
out of a situation of bondage and injustice. When this is the case, 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.
Make sure you say that loud enough for you to hear, and remind yourself of it
during the day. |
