In this powerful episode, Paula and Melinda examine the four oracles of Balaam—one of the most surprising prophetic episodes in the Old Testament. Although Balak hires Balaam to curse Israel, God sovereignly intervenes, placing His own words in Balaam’s mouth. The result? Blessings, prophecy, and a stunning messianic declaration:

“A Star shall come out of Jacob; a Scepter shall rise out of Israel.” (Numbers 24:17)

This episode explores how God’s Spirit came upon Balaam (24:2), how God repeatedly “put a word in his mouth” (22:38; 23:5, 12, 16; 24:13), and what this means for believers today—especially for nurses who face high-pressure environments, ethical challenges, and moments where they need wisdom beyond their own strength.
