“The Lord told me…” are often the words of a lying manipulator

Numbers 22:38, The word that Elohim puts in my mouth. Balaam claimed to hear the voice of YHVH, yet his claims and the reality of the facts were two different things. YHVH makes a mockery of Balaam’s claims in front of the Moabite delegation when the lowly she-donkey is able to discern the presence of the Messenger of YHVH and Balaam is not (at least until YHVH opens his eyes).

How many times have you encountered people who claim to hear from “the LORD,” yet on closer examination they have not heard from YHVH, for the fruits of their lives and ministry do not verify their claims?

Be wary of such people who announce to others their super-spirituality and make great claims about their supposed inside track with YHVH.

Ask yourself: what do these people really want and what are their hidden agendas? What are they trying to gain for themselves or trying to cover up? Are they possibly, like Balaam, trying to control and influence others through supposed “words from the Lord” for their own selfish motives?

  1. For the first time, after hearing this story, I can see how the Donkey can represent the called-out and set-apart (Kadosh) ones, and Balaam can represent those in Babylon who are blind to the Truth. Great insight! Thanks!
