Numbers 23: 8 “How shall I curse whom God has not cursed?
And how can I denounce whom the LORD has not denounced?
Did you get that? Man cannot curse what God has blessed. So, why do we so often fear man so much? We are blessed.
Numbers 23: 19 “God is not a man, that He should lie,
Nor a son of man, that He should repent;
Has He said, and will He not do it?
Or has He spoken, and will He not make it good?
20 “Behold, I have received a command to bless;
When He has blessed, then I cannot revoke it.
God is not like man who changes. When God blessed someone, they stay blessed. We are the ones who give our blessing away when we agree with what someone else is speaking over us. It’s like Esau giving away his blessing and his standing as a son of his father. We are joint heirs with Christ. Do not give it up! Do not simply cow down to what the enemy says about you! Keep the blessing! Keep it by speaking it over and over to yourself.
Avoid the self-talk that might say that you are worthless or stupid. Ignore anything that would say you are less than a jewel in your Father’s crown. You are blessed.
Body of Christ, the Church, the Remnant, the apple of His eye: YOU ARE BLESSED! Let no man curse you, not even you. Numbers 24: 9 “He couches, he lies down as a lion,
And as a lion, who dares rouse him?
Blessed is everyone who blesses you,
And cursed is everyone who curses you.”
Great point about not fearing man if God has blessed us.
How cool was Balaam’s fourth prophecy about the coming of the Messiah – so awesome!
Numbers 23:21
Amplified Bible (AMP)
“[God] has not beheld iniquity in Jacob [for he is forgiven], neither has He seen mischief or perverseness in Israel [for the same reason]. The Lord their God is with Israel, and the shout of praise to their King is among the people.”
The Israelites had grumbled, complained, and rose up against God, yet still God tells Balaam that He see no iniquity or perverseness in them. This is one reason for us to be confident that He does not remember our sins, and that’s reason enough to have a shout of praise to our King among us!
Another important reminder is that although our enemies desire to curse us, their curse has no weight upon us. No thing happens to us unless first approved by our loving Father. We don’t need to fear what the enemy says against us, ultimately we are blessed because God says so!!!
Numbers 23:23
Amplified Bible (AMP)
“Surely there is no enchantment with or against Jacob, neither is there any divination with or against Israel. [In due season and even] now it shall be said of Jacob and of Israel, What has God wrought!”

We don’t have to worry about a witch’s spell or a Voodoo hex having any power over us, because we are BLESSED!
The only power that any occultic incantation has is the power we give it by allowing the spirit of fear to have access to our souls.
