Saved By An Ass - Numbers 22


Sometimes people are too stupid or blind to see what is coming down the road. We all need God's dumb ass to be around when we are bent on self destruction. Like Balaam, we think we have things figured out only in reality the sword awaits to take off our head. Through the "Ass" comes answers that make us think and adjust our journey.

Let's face it, we all need alot of adjusting. I don't think there is a more needy creature on the planet than man. A dumb ass knows who his master is, but not man. A dumb ass knows when to speak and when not to speak, but not man.

Man is walking down a path of destruction which will lead to tribulation the which has never been known in the morbid history of humanity. He speaks of a kinder gentler world, an evolving world resting in the hope of science, medicine and technology. A grand dreamer he is, an idealist with a heart as large as the world itself. What beautiful words he can utter and spellbind the simple,how lofty he can reach with his ideals, to the stars themselves, but how incapable he is in attaining those ideals.

The best thing man has going for him is his short memory of his own historical failings, which is the basis of his good conscience. As he Repeats his lying ideals and promises to himself over and over again, soon he will believe and renew his hope. But deep down, because eternity dwells in his conscience he silently wonders, as a gentle sigh of the spirit breathes the atmosphere of hopelessness, knowing that something is missing.

Is man looking for the answer, or is the answer right in front of him as he walks away from the answer in order to find the answer?

Hey, let's play a game. I will pay ten thousand dollars to any of you that win my game. It is very simple. Are you ready? OK Begin!

What did you say? You want to know the rules of the game? Oh, you think games need boundaries and parameters. Hmm, you know what, I think you may be right. It would seem God thinks so as well. Oh, but you don't like His rules and parameters. What's that? You want to remove yourself from His rules and order to establish your own. Hmm Well it is time for the dumb ass to speak to save your life.


Psa 2:1 Why are the nations in an uproar And the peoples devising a vain thing?
2 The kings of the earth take their stand And the rulers take counsel together Against the LORD and against His Anointed, saying, 3 "Let us tear their fetters apart And cast away their cords from us!"

Psa 2:4 He who sits in the heavens laughs, The Lord scoffs at them. 5 Then He will speak to them in His anger And terrify them in His fury, saying, 6 "But as for Me, I have installed My King Upon Zion, My holy mountain."

7 "I will surely tell of the decree of the LORD: He said to Me, 'You are My Son, Today I have begotten You. 8 'Ask of Me, and I will surely give the nations as Your inheritance, And the very ends of the earth as Your possession. 9 'You shall break them with a rod of iron, You shall shatter them like earthenware.'"

Psa 2:10 Now therefore, O kings, show discernment; Take warning, O judges of the earth. 11 Worship the LORD with reverence And rejoice with trembling.
12 Do homage to the Son, that He not become angry, and you perish in the way, For His wrath may soon be kindled. How blessed are all who take refuge in Him

Kiss the Son or get your head lopped off. The dumb ass has spoken.

Joh 14:6 Jesus *said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me.
