Balaam's Strange Prophecy
The false prophet Balaam tries to prophesy against Israel but ends up speaking an amazing Messianic prophecy. He says, "I see Him, but not now. I behold Him, but not near." I see Him, but not now. What does that mean? Balaam had a vision but he didn't really know salvation. He saw Him, but not now. That's the way most people see Messiah - as something that happened a long time ago, not really here and now but in the past. In the days of Messiah's life, He was here and now to Mary and the apostles. That's the only way to really know Him. The disciples and the first century are gone, but He remains here and now. The same Messiah then and there, is the One who's here and now for you. The same miracles and power in the book of Acts, are here and now. See Him now. See Him today, this moment. Behold the reality of His presence. Receive His power. It will revolutionize your walk. Because Messiah will touch and transform your life here and now.
From Message #507 - In the Fullness of Time
Today seek the presence of God... not somewhere else but here, in your situation, where you are, and not in the future. But now, right now in your life.
