This morning we pick up where we left off last week. As you recall Balaam a diviner who makes a living by blessing and cursing people and nations was summoned by the King of Moab Balak to put a curse on the nation of Israel. King Balak was in the desperate straights pulling any straws he could that would help him get a leg up on defeating the nation of Israel by turning to spiritual warfare by trying to put a curse on the nation of Israel.
