The Doctrine Of Balaam

 

Letters From God  Day 4 :  The Doctrine of Balaam  

" But I have a few things against thee ,because thou hast there them that hold the doctrine of Balaam  ,who taught Balak to cast a stumbling block before the children of Isreal, to eat things sacrificed unto idols, and to commit fornication. " Revelations 2:14

The doctrine of Balaam is the strategy that Balaam taught the king of Moab. This doctrine teaches that the Israelites are righteous before God ,therefore they cannot be cursed in any way. So he taught the king of Moab, Balak to seduce the children of Isreal to commit fornication with the Moabites and also introduced them to eat meat sacrificed to idols. In this way they become  defiled and therefore they shall loose God's protection and glory. 

" He hath not beheld iniquity in Jacob ,neither hath he seen perverseness in Isreal. The Lord his God is with him, and the shout of a king is among them ." Numbers 23 : 21 Balaam is telling the king of Moab, Balak that, so long as there is no sin ,iniquity or sexual perversion ( fornication ) in the people of Isreal he cannot curse them ,but instead he blessed them. 

 So the scriptures further explained the doctrine of Balaam in the book of   Numbers 31:16 " Behold, these caused the children of Israel, through the counsel of Balaam, to commit trespass against the LORD in the matter of Peor, and there was a plague among the congregation of the LORD."  In this portion of scripture it is described as " the counsel of Balaam " 

So doctrine of Balaam in our days is the seduction and convincing that the children of God can sin and nothing will happen to. So they teach that we are under grace ,it doesn't matter if we sin ,because we are covered by the grace of God. 

This is  a lie and a typical doctrine of Balaam that the enemy is using to lure God's children into fornication, adulteryand all forms of sin ,so that the devil can have access to destroy human lives .True grace of God delivers people from sinful life and teaches us to live a godly life.

 " For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men .Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lust, we should live soberly, righteously and godly, in this present world. " Titus 2:11-12  The reality here is that when you receive grace, it teaches , enables and helps you to overcome lust ,ungodliness and sin as a whole. Again the grace helps you to live a righteous and godly life. 

In this 3rd time the doctrine of Balaam is being taught undercover of grace ,some teach that our sins doesn't matter, because we have grace and this has made  many children of God fall into all forms of sinful indulgence even in the house of God. Many Christians  who are deceived by this doctrine of Balaam are living in sin and yet going to church every Sunday without remorse. That is why many church buildings are full of people who are still living in sins . 

PRAYER 

Lord God have mercy upon me and deliver me from the deception of strange doctrines that encourage sin in Jesus name. AMEN
