When God's People Move

The real battle

Num 22:1-22; Eph 6:10-12

God is moving His people into the promised land.

There is spiritual warfare that is going behind the scenes that we do not see.

When God moves satan also will move.

Movements of God always provoke spiritual attack:

I. Because of Fear Num 22:2-6

A. They feared the God of Isreal

B. The devil and his demons fear God James 2:19; Matt 25:41; Rev 20:10

II. Through human surrogates Num 22:6-8, 14-17

A. Balaam is a tool of satan. Satan attack God’s people through human tools

1. Joshua 24:9-10 ; Joshua 13:21-22 ; 2 Pet 2:16-17 ; 2 Cor 11:13 -14

2. Saved people can be a surrogate

III. Only if God Allows it Num 22:9-13, 20

A. God is still in control.

B. Matt 4:1 God sent Jesus to experience spiritual attack. Spiritual battles are not won by strength of arms. But by spiritual weapons, The Word of God.

1. Matt 10:24 - 25
