Pergamos 3
But I have a few things against thee, because thou hast there them that hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balac to cast a stumblingblock before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed unto idols, and to commit fornication. Rev 2:14
For many days I've chewed on this verse wanting to know what is
the "doctrine of Balaam."
Balaam = lord of the people, destruction of the people.
First off Balaam IS NOT outside of us .... BUT WITHIN!
Balaam is where our thoughts (beliefs) are and it is these thoughts that shape us!
Balaam can not reach the higher state, though it tries by doing works that it believes is pleasing to God and making the one doing them in right standing with God!
Say a prayer and you will get in right standing with God, Get water baptized a certain way and you will be in right standing with God, attend a certain church and you will be in right standing with God, try and obey the law and you will be in right standing with God.
On and ON is the doctrine of Balaam taught and believed BY MANY!
"...broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:..." Matt 7:13
There IS NOTHING I can do to be made whole (SAVED) It is the will of Life for all and it is all of Life's doing!
"... God our Saviour; Who will have all men to be saved (made WHOLE), and to come unto the knowledge of the truth. 1 Tim 2:13,14
Balaam teachings is what works at preventing the disciple from completing the journey to the throne room. By subtle thoughts taught to the carnal mind from the world (religion) Balaam's goal is to remain lord over the soul!
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh how the disciple must be aware of this Balaam and its ways, least the disciple finds they have journeyed unto the path that is broad!
The world thoughts/beliefs can be summed up this way .... Government .... Education .... Religion!
What has a hold on you?
These thoughts/beliefs are what teaches our SENSES and these thoughts become our "Balac" (king).
Before I heard of religious teachings (doctrines) I was a street minister. I went about sharing Christ with anyone. I never knew one group was wrong or going to hell because they were not the chosen group.
I call it my grace period. By that I had many from so many different ways of life talking to me until DOCTRINE. YES ... DOCTRINE ... TEACHINGS ... Religion!
I than had the finger of religion pointing at all that came my way!
Do this or go there .... Obey this or go there .... attend this or go there.
I was sooooooo grieved inside. I then went to Kenya and fellowship-ed with the ones that said what I said and yet their actions pointed to the place one did not want to go to.
I am so thankful to LOVE for the grace that never left me. For by grace I was made whole and by that I mean I have repented from the finger pointing religion to one being a voice of the Word of Life!
Yes religion was the stumbling block set before me and my Balac (king) was my will!
Now read in Numbers 31 and see TRUTH.
MY .... MY ..... MY. After reading Numbers 31 I just can't believe the lies I've heard concerning Balaam.
The lies I've heard where the thoughts I choose to keep and in my choosing was my BALAC!
Thoughts taught to me throughout my world journey that abide and cause nothing but strife and contention with the Word of Life!

Repent; or
else I will come unto thee quickly, and will fight
against them with the sword of my mouth.
GRASP IT .... The Word of Life will come unto YOU NOW and will fight against them thoughts that cause you to stumble on the journey to the throne room (higher state)!
Bless LOVE for the grace to REPENT .... Bless LOVE for the Truth that opened our eyes, that strengthen us on this journey that LOVED wills for ALL!
And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; .... your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
'...sanctify you wholly...' is to be set apart to be MADE WHOLE!
Repent (change your mind) or else the '....the sharp sword with two edges..." shall come NOW upon thee!
