Praise the Lord. You know, I am so completely overwhelmed by all that we've been receiving in these leadership seminars. If you've just been coming to the evenings, I will say that you absolutely have to get these tapes and listen on.

And I keep coming each day with a little bit bigger cup in these last two days, and I have to go back at break to get a bigger cup still. It's just overwhelming, the meat and the blessings that we have been receiving.

These topics and these things that God has put upon these men's hearts. I just bless the Lord and I feel so completely privileged to be under the Word of God and to be listening to these preachings during this time.

The Danger of Remaining Outside the People of God

The Lord has put a burden upon my heart this evening. I have some specific ones that I am out to get tonight. Some ones, you know, when you're preaching at a leadership seminar, sometimes it's a bit different than when you do a youth Bible school or your church.

There's a group of people that are sometimes older men, oftentimes leaders, pastors, deacons, fathers, leaders in the church, men who are used of God. There's no doubt about it, you're men that are used of God.

And so in some ways it's difficult, you can understand, to come and stand here before you and preach this message. So I wrestled with God and asked what it is, what is it that you want me to say tonight?

What is it? And I'm afraid that some of you have become over the years very sermon proof. There's been many things that you've listened to from time and time again, and you've let these things grow cold.

You've learned how to make it through sermons. You have. There are some here tonight that for years you've been sitting and watching the children of God from the outside. Some of you, maybe it's a spouse, your husband is with the Lord and the wife is not, or the wife is and the husband is, and you've watched it and you know there's something in their life and you don't have it.

And you've watched it from the outside. I have a burden for you tonight. Listen to me, young people, young ones tonight. There's many of you who have been living in a godly home. You've seen your parents, and yes, they're not perfect, but you've seen there's something about them that believes.

And you've been watching it and you've been going along with it, but you've been sitting there on the outside. And you have not entered in. You have not entered in. You're watching it from the outside.

It's beautiful, isn't it? It's beautiful, isn't it? But you're on the outside. And then, so I want to look at some of these things. At the end, there's a particular kind of person that is so sermon proof that the Lord put this burden on my heart.

And a few phone calls that I got right before the leadership seminar and a few brothers that I was counseling with. And it seems the Lord was very almost audibly saying there are hurting people that are so discouraged that they can't lift up their head to believe.

I'd like to close with a message to you at the end of this. So if you could, I'd like to take the text of this message from Numbers chapter 23 verse 20. Turn your Bibles to that. Numbers chapter 23 verse 20.

Numbers chapter 23 verse 20. It is Balaam who is speaking. And he says this, Behold, I have received commandment to bless, and he hath blessed, and I can't reverse it. He has not beheld iniquity in Jacob, neither hath he seen perverseness in Israel.

The Lord his God is with him, and the shout of a king is among them. And a shout, and the shout of a king is among them. Did you hear that? And the shout of a king is among them. That's the name of this message tonight.

And the shout of a king is among them. Let's pray.

Dear Heavenly Father, Oh, how I tremble before you today, Lord.

Lord, save us from theology this evening. Save us from all our good ideas this evening, Lord. I pray, O God, save us from it, O Lord, and show us Jesus like we just heard in this opening. Father, I pray, O God, in this devotion that we had here, this family, and they spoke of Him who has been through all the ages.

O God, O Jesus, show Thyself tonight, I pray, O Lord. Show Thyself. Strip away, O Lord, everything that is preventing us from coming to the very person of Jesus Christ. We've been hearing it all day, all week.

We're going to be hearing about it. Lord, show Thyself. Holy Spirit, I pray, come. And when you said that you would come, you would testify of Him. And so, Lord, I pray, come, send the Holy Spirit and speak and preach this message tonight.

Balaam as an Instrument Used by God

I can't. It's in Jesus' name we pray. Amen. Amen. I would like to lift up this prophet this evening. This prophet, Balaam, who spoke this passage, the shout of a king is among them. And I'd like to show him as a man who was used of God.

You want to be used of God? I want to be used of God. And you know what? I will be used of God. And you know what? You will be used of God. But like we heard yesterday, it matters how we're used of God.

It's important. What Brother Denny's told us, that Mao Zedong was used of God to bring blessed Christianity to China. Stalin was used of God. Hitler was used of God. Romans 13 tells us that Nero, the persecutor of the church, he calls him, my minister.

Romans 13 called Nero that. He was used of God. In Jeremiah 25, Nebuchadnezzar, who was bringing judgment and bringing armies against Israel, again, God said, my servant. My minister. Same equivalent.

Three verses later, he says that I'm going to judge you after 70 years and I'm going to rebuke you and I'm going to make your country an abomination. He'll use you. And he used Balaam, we're going to see.

He used Balaam. But this is a man who, as we're going to see, looked on the things of God. He followed the people of God. He observed some pretty impressive things. And what is most significant to us is that he had true, some real wisdom.

He could perform some pretty impressive miracles. And almost unimaginably, he had some true prophecies. He had true prophecies. And if you would allow me tonight, I would like to just get away from the doctrine of whether Balaam and people like Judas ever was this way and then lost it or was or not.

Can we just avoid all that doctrine right now? Here's the bottom line. In the bottom line of Christianity is this. It's Jesus Christ, as we've continually heard this week and we're going to hear again tonight.

It's Jesus. And if we can strip away all that theology, if you're with Jesus, you're a follower of Christ and you're a Christian. If you're not, you're not. Can we avoid all the theology tonight? And so, it says of Judas, Jesus was praying all night before He chose His disciples.

But in John 6, right there at the very end, He says, I have chose twelve of you and one of you is a devil. He knew from the beginning. Later on, He sends them out to prophesy and to cast out devils. I don't understand that.

I'm not even going to pretend to explain it to you. I don't understand it. But I know that God came to this earth and preached a sermon. And Moses talked about it this morning. God came to earth and preached a sermon.

And there's lots of bits of them in the Bible, but in Matthew 5, 6, and 7, we get the Sermon on the Mount and there it is. He preached a sermon. And it's interesting, just as a side, if I can give you a little assignment tonight.

We'll go along with Brother Moe's message. Jesus Christ, the person of Jesus Christ, came on this earth and preached a sermon. Go through each of those things he mentioned. You know, humility. He talked about, what was it, adultery, lust.

He talked about non-resistance. He talked about lawsuits. He talked about storing up treasures in heaven. He talked about worrying about tomorrow. He talked about all these different things. I challenge you, go through the Sermon on the Mount.

And each thing that Jesus Christ came and said, I want Christianity to look like this. On a piece of paper, draw just the opposite. Just the opposite. And see what you come up with. If it comes up looking like your Christianity, it should alarm you.

It should alarm you. It's Jesus. It's His Word, the engrafted Word which is able to convert your soul. The Logos of God has become flesh and has dwelt among us. And He spoke His Words. So we're going to lift up this false prophet in a way that I can show you something.

And if you're here tonight, and you say at the end of this, that's me, I'm like that. Then by all means, repent. But if there's just even a part of you, and we can lift up people like Judas and Balaam and say, is there part of that in you?

And can you have this as a warning when you go on? You may begin to look like this. You know, it's easy to get off the road. It's easy to find different things other than Jesus. Oh, how easy Satan gives them to us.

The New Testament's Warnings About Balaam

So if we could, I'd like to look at Balaam. As we start in looking at Balaam, I would like, if we don't, the main passages from that are from their Numbers chapter 22, chapter 23, chapter 24. Three chapters of the Old Testament are given to us about this false prophet.

This true prophet who's a false teacher. And if we just read that passage, you can be a little bit misled about some of his motions. The New Testament gives us some light. I'm going to read through some of those so that we can have an understanding when we go back and look at Balaam.

It says in 2 Timothy 19, excuse me, it says there, in 2 Peter 2 .14, in 2 Peter 2 .14, having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sin, beguiling unstable souls in heart, they have exercised with covetous practice, cursed children.

Peter's giving us an example of some wicked things within the church, which have forsaken the right way and have gone astray following the way of Balaam, the son of Bezor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness, but was rebuked for his iniquity by the dumbass speaking with man's voice, forbade the madness of the prophet.

So Peter gives us an idea. He loved the wages of unrighteousness. He was madness in his sin. And he wanted to deceive and curse Israel. We get a hint here. In Jude chapter 10, or Jude verse 10, but these speak evil of those things which they know not, again rebuking of people who are troubling the church, but these speak evil of those things which they know not, but what they know naturally as brute beasts, and those things they corrupt themselves.

Woe unto them, for they have gone in the way of Cain and run greedily after the heir of Balaam for reward and perished in the gainsaying of Korah. Again, the same idea of wanting to prophesy for profit.

There's an interesting one in Revelation which we would not understand at all, and it gives insight into Numbers chapter 31. Revelation chapter 2, beginning at verse 12, there's a rebuke, that even in a godly church, that spirit of Balaam, that spirit of Balaam can rise up, can cast us down.

Revelation chapter 2, verse 12, and to the angel of the church of Pergamos, write, these things saith he which hath the sharp sword with two edges. Hallelujah. Who's that? So you heard these wonderful children singing about it.

I know thy works, and where thou dwellest, even where Satan's seat is, and thou holdest fast my name, and hath not denied my faith. Hallelujah. Even in those days where an antipast was my faithful martyr, who was slain among you where Satan dwelleth, but I have a few things against thee, because thou hast there them that hold the doctrine of Balaam.

The doctrine of Balaam? What's that? Who taught Balak to cast a stumbling block before the children of Israel. He learned the art that when you can't curse a people, you slowly seduce them, and Satan wins a victory that way.

Oh, brothers, it's in the church, it's in our heart, and it can be in our homes if we're not careful. Satan will come against the front door, and if he can't get there, we'll see how he gets in the back door.

And because of this, Balaam was responsible for the killing, the judgment of God upon 24 ,000 men. In Numbers chapter 25, we'll get to it. So, let's turn to Numbers 22, and look at the story of Balaam.

Balak Summons Balaam to Curse Israel

At this time, Israel is finally on their way back. They have been traveling in the wilderness for all these years. Miriam had recently died. They just recently had some big problems still. We just had, in a few chapters before this, the brazen serpent, where they again had not belief in God.

And finally, we had this serpent being raised in the wilderness for salvation. And now, but after this, finally this thing... Let me turn there. Here in Numbers chapter 20 and chapter 21, we see this beautiful part where God allows this well to spring up.

And so we have this beautiful thing spring up, oh well. And they're rejoicing. And at this point, you see Israel beginning to start to make a turn. You see those 20-year-olds, those babies, or those 20-year-olds that were there in the time of judgment of God upon Israel are now 60-year-old elders in Israel.

The church there, and the people of God there. There's young men and there's young ladies who now are starting to head, and they're starting their march forward towards the promised land. And they're going now.

And suddenly things start to change. And you see a people of God who start to have more of a faith. And although they're still making lots of mistakes, there's something from inside them that seems almost unstoppable.

And here they come. So they're on their march, and they go forward there to chapter 21, and they kill the Amorites, and they slay them. And then down at 21, verse 29, they call out, Woe to thee, Moab!

Thou art undone. And they're on the march. They're going forward, and they're going here through the rest of chapter 21. And they say, and they come here, and they take verse 33, and they turned and went up the way of Bashan, and Og the king of Bashan went out against them and all the people, and they just slayed them.

Giants they were. Big armies there. Slayed them. Who's next? Moab. And he knows it. He knows it. And he's looking at and watching all this, and he says, you know, there in chapter 22, these people have been on the march, and they're eating up the nations around them just like an ox eats up the grass.

What a picture, huh? Just chomping away as they go. Next, chomp, next, and they're on the march. And we're next. We're the next ones in line. So, Balak is a king. He's a smart king, and he begins to understand.

Well, in those days, and also all the way up into the Middle Ages, the Dark Ages, some of the practice of what they would do in a battle is they would put a warlock or a witch or someone in front of an army to curse the armies with spells and demons and things so that they could win that army.

And this was a practice back then. So Balak says, I'm going to purchase me the most fearful person I can find, prophet, soothsayer I can find. So he goes to a town called Pthor. There in chapter 22, verse 5.

And Balak goes to Pthor. Now, interestingly enough, do you know what Pthor means in Hebrew? It literally means soothsayers. The whole city was named soothsayers. Some commentators believe that the entire city was nothing but wickedness and witchcraft.

And there was all manner of devil worship and things, and people went there to have their prophecies told and these things. And here from that place, Balak said, not only am I going to go to the best place to find me one of these soothsayers, I'm going to get Balak.

I'm going to get Balaam because he's been proven. Now, I don't understand this. I'm not even going to pretend to understand this. But apparently, Balaam knew and had experience on receiving things from God.

I don't know. I speculate. Did he receive it like suddenly later on here we see the angel appeared before him and spoke to him and then he couldn't see him? Is that the way it was? But Balak was no faker.

He understood. And when Balak comes and talks to him, he says, yes, I'm going to do these things, but I can only say what God actually says to me. And you have to give him credit for that. He was doing those things and apparently he had experience in this.

He knew that when God said something, it happened. It happened. So Balak then decided, I'm going to get a huge treasure, I'm going to send men and I'm going to send them to Balaam. So there it is in verse 7.

He's sending there and he's got all these treasures and you can imagine it now. He's bringing all these treasures to Balaam and there he is. And he finally gets them and he says, here, that's what I want you to do.

He sent the men. I want you to take this treasure, but here's what I want you to do. Go and curse this people that's coming against me. The New Testament tells us that Balaam liked the idea. Okay. Okay, well you stay right here.

I'll go see what God says. Verse 9. God came to Balaam and said, What men are these with thee? And Balaam said unto God, Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab, hath sent them to me, saying, Behold, there is a people come out of Egypt which covers the face of the earth.

Come now, curse me them, for at eventure I shall be able to overcome them and drive them out. And God said unto Balaam, Thou shalt not go with them. Thou shalt not curse the people, for they are blessed.

The people of God. So Balaam rose up and he said, Go home. I can't do it. Just go home. So they went home. They went back to Balak. Balak said, No, you don't understand. We've got to do this. We're next.

They're going to kill us. So you know the story. He then there took more men, and he said it made them look all the more fancy, all the more dignitary like, and sent them to them. And now he said, I'm not only going to give you money, I'm going to give you a position.

I'll give you anything you want, Balaam. Just come and curse the people of God. That's all I'm asking. Just come and curse them. He said, again, the New Testament lets us know that Balaam wanted to do it.

The position looked good. The money looked good. Alright, I'll try. I'll see what God will do. So he came. And he went and he talked to him. This time, look down at verse 20. And God came to Balaam at night and said unto him, now watch this carefully.

If the men come to call thee, rise up, get up out of bed, rise up and go with them. But yet the word which I shall say unto thee, thou shalt thou do. Next verse, Balaam took this little test God was giving him.

Okay, if they come and call thee. But look what happened. Soon as he gets up in the morning, and Balaam rose up in the morning and saddled his ass and went with the prince of Moab. They didn't come and ask anymore.

He just had a little bitty chance to do it. So he ran with it. And he took it and he ran. God was upset. And it says, and God's anger was kindled because he went. And the angel of the Lord stood in the way.

Balaam's Donkey and the Angry Angel

Now we get to the story that every child in here knows about, right? It's an amazing story. What do you do with this story? It's amazing. And if there's anything in the Bible that tells me God will use whatever and whomever and wherever and anything ever to speak His Word, here it is.

And I thank the Lord for that. I do. But here He is. So you know the story. He's on His way. And the first time He's on His way and He saddles on His donkey and He's there. And all of a sudden, this angry angel, who is said to be God.

Who is this, Jeff? Whose angry angel is there before Him. And as He's there, the donkey moves over into the field. And He moves it back over. And then He moves him into the wall and crushes him against a vineyard wall.

And He crushes it footed, He says. His anger. And He strikes him again. And finally, He gets between two walls, between two vineyards. And this time, the third time, He crushed him and He got into that area.

And then finally, the angel is standing there right between these two walls. And they can go nowhere. It's me and it's you. And finally, the donkey just falls down. And this is where He starts to talk to His donkey.

Now, I don't know. I think that's a little strange. You know? What's more strange? The donkey talking or Him talking back to the donkey? I don't know. I don't know. But it's an impressive thing. And He says to him, look, wasn't I just a good donkey for you?

And he said he was. But then, the trouble came. Then the Lord opened the eyes of Balaam and He saw the angel of the Lord standing in the way with His sword drawn in His hand. And He bowed down His head and fell flat on His face.

And He says, listen, if I had seen you hit that donkey one more time, I would have killed you. As a matter of fact, if it wasn't for Him, I would have already killed you and left the donkey standing there.

So He repented and said, I'm sorry, Lord. But He said to him, the angel said to him, the way before you was perverse. Again, it's a hint in understanding who Balaam really was. I want you to see this because the point that I'm driving home here is what happens next is when Balaam just looks at the people of God.

And this is where I want you to check your heart. And I want you to see that the way before Balaam was perverse. He said, no, I want you to keep going. He said, I go back. No, now I want you to keep going.

God, He used a donkey. Now He's going to use Balaam. So He's going for it. He's going on. And as He's there, and Balaam is coming there, we get towards the end of chapter 22 there at verse 33. Balak meets Him and says, and is all anticipating, what took you so long?

Kind of thing He's saying there to Him. And finally, He's here. And again, Balaam's reminding Balak, remember, I can only say what God will say. God hedged Him into that. I can only say what God will say.

And then from this, we're going to get some ideas of what Balaam prophesied. So here He goes. The thought of this next passage. These scenes in my mind. So He says there in verse 41, the last verse of 22, And it came to pass on the morrow that Balak took Balaam and brought him into the high place of Baal, that thence he might see the utmost part of the people.

Next chapter, And Balaam said unto Balak, Build me here seven altars, and prepare me here seven oxen and seven rams. And Balak did as Balaam had spoken, and Balak and Balaam offered on every bullock and a ram.

Balaam's Prophecies Reveal God's Blessing on Israel

So here they are. He says, I understand God. He likes these sacrifices, right? That's God. And we have these real fancy altars of Baal. So come up here, Balaam, and come up here. So you imagine Balaam and Balak climbing up this mountain to a very high spot where they could look over the people of Israel.

And they're looking over and they're seeing all the children of Israel from this high spot. And Balaam says, okay, make seven altars and make this huge sacrifice to God. I'll go speak to God and we'll see what He says.

And then it says there in verse 6, and He returned unto him and lo, he stood by the burnt sacrifice. So you're imagining, Balaam went to talk to God, and now they're coming back. And you see the picture.

They're on the mountain. They're looking there. There's Israel. He's saying, just curse them. Just curse them. And he's coming back and Balak is still standing there with all the smoke of these things.

I imagine these old altars of Baal with bones of different sacrifices and all these different things there on this place. And there Balaam comes up to him. What did he say? You know, you imagine Balak saying, well, what did he say?

And in verse 8, he said this, Balak. He said, how shall I curse whom God hath not cursed? Or how shall I defy whom the Lord hath not defied? For from the top of the rocks I see Him. From the very top of the rocks, Balak, I see the people of God.

I see Him. Lo, the people shall dwell alone and shall not be reckoned among the nations. They are a peculiar people. A people set apart. They're a people alone, chosen. Look at them. Who can count the dust of Jacob and number the fourth part of Israel?

And then listen to what he says. There's Balaam. There's Balak. And they're on the mountain. And they're looking back and they're hearing what Balaam said. And he says this, let me die the death of the righteous and let my last end be like His.

Do you know that everybody wants that? If we go live our life, oh, but just let me die the death of the righteous. Have you ever seen a righteous man die? It will change you. To see a man die with hope.

To see a man die who knows he's going to be standing before the face of God. And somehow Balaam is seeing that. He's looking over Israel. There's something different about this people. There's something different about them.

If I could just die like they are dying, that's enough for me. And then he goes on. He says, and Balak said, what have you done? I took you to curse mine enemies and behold, you've blessed them all together.

And he answered and said, must I not take heed to speak that which the Lord hath put in my mouth? And Balak said unto him, come, I'm going to take you to another spot. So they took him to another spot.

And he says here, with me to another place, from whence thou mayest see them, thou shalt see but just the utmost part of them and shall not see them all and then curse them there. If you look at all the people, if you see the people of God, if you look them straight in the face, you're not going to be able to curse them.

So come over to this part of the mountain and you'll just see this section over here of the people of God. And then curse Israel that way. And he says here, and he brought him unto the field of Zophim, unto the top of Pisgah, and built seven altars and offered seven bullocks and a ram on every altar.

And then Balak said again, stand here and we'll see what God will do. Again, he goes. Where I'm trying to go is I want to ask which part are you on? Are you watching? Or are you a child? And what makes the difference is the title of this sermon.

So he goes away and again, in verse 18, he comes back and he took the parable and he said, rise up Balak and hear what God has said. So Balak's all anticipating now, okay, maybe finally he did this. Now listen to this.

And he says this. What did he say? Well, this is what he said. He said, God is not a man that He should lie, neither the Son of Man that He should repent. Hath He said and shall He not do it? Or hath He spoken and shall He not make it good?

Behold, I have received commandment to bless, and He hath blessed, and I cannot reverse it. Now do you remember all the mistakes that Israel had just made? I just told you about several of them. Can you believe this next verse?

Can you believe this next verse? This is what God said. He hath not beheld iniquity in Jacob, neither hath He seen perverseness in Israel. The Lord His God is with Him, and the shout of a king is among them.

The shout of a king. What that means there, that phrase that in ancient times, if you look at the history of generals, that in the history of generals, that very notable generals were known that in their presence among the troops did such a charismatic thing to the troops that it encouraged them and it kept them on.

Alexander the Great is known for this, for running and inspecting his troops and having a place in front of them. Patton had this kind of an idea with his troops. But there's lots of different kings who have done it this way.

But the one in particular that stands out as I've thought to make an analogy of this, has been what they say the way Napoleon was. Napoleon had this incredible presence among his troops, the historians tell us.

As a matter of fact, when I was doing some of the study for this, I was getting some testimonies that were talking about, and they were giving some of the accounts.

Of the men that were there amongst Napoleon's troops. And some of them that might have had a leg blown off.

Or some sort of straddle in their eye, but they were still going on and still marching on. And every time that Napoleon was there, they encouraged them and they would shout and they would scream for Viva l 'Empereur to Napoleon.

Listen to one of these accounts here. He says, As the Emperor was on horseback and he reviewed the regiments, the troops greeted him with mounting enthusiasms. The shouts of the soldiers, thousands upon thousands even drowned out the music and the music that were playing with all their heart.

They would have all these troops lined up and battalion after battalion and Napoleon would get upon his horse and ride through them all. And it says that as he would come, the men would take their hats and put it on their sabers and put it up.

And the shout, it says, thousands upon thousands of them drowned out the music of the regimental bands whose numbers were playing their hearts out sounding the glorious marches of the empire. And everyone made an effort to get close enough to see him.

The infantry raised their bayonets and screamed at the top of their voice, Viva l 'Empereur! It goes on to say that even some of these other people, the enemies, Captain Mercer of the British Royal Artillery said he has to admit, if I had to totally be honest, what I really desired was just...

Napoleon was an antichrist. A devil. Some of his doctrines that he's put out and the rights of men and some of the devilish things that they brought in during the so-called Great Enlightenment are still things that are wanting the death of your soul.

He's an antichrist. But oh, how he encouraged the people. The shout of a king. And here's the point. The cause. The purpose. The why they were doing everything. Everything was embodied in a man. It wasn't just a declaration.

Their man was an antichrist. But in Israel, it wasn't. It was God. And as a matter of fact, Napoleon, at one time, after he was finally defeated, he was exiled twice. And he was put on this little island called Elba.

And he was there for just a little time and he was so discouraged there, they wanted him just to run the business of this little island. He finally escaped. And at this time, a new king of France had already taken over Paris and taken over everything.

And he escaped with a small amount of troops and landed back on French soil with two cannons, a small group of men, and an entire battalion of the king's army was coming to attack Napoleon. Napoleon marched right up to them all and said, He who has a heart, kill his emperor.

Every single one of those men backed him. They marched into Paris, took over the king, and four months, he had the entire nation again behind him and he was marching into Belgium. They had the shout of a king among them.

Israel was on the march. And Balaam thought, What drives you? What drives you, men? What drives you? Does Jesus Christ embody everything that you live for, stand for, exist for? Is it in the person of Jesus Christ?

Because that kind of presence is what this people of God had. The shout of a king was among them. The shout of a king was among them. And then he says this in verse 23, Surely there is no enchantment against Jacob, neither is there any divination against Israel.
