Numbers 23:20-21 “Behold, I have received a command to bless; He has blessed, and I cannot reverse it. He has not beheld iniquity in Jacob, neither has He seen perverseness in Israel”

In 2004, we took some friends from our neighborhood to New York City. They were originally from Louisiana and had never been there before. As we were walking, I saw an awesome coat in a store that had the New York Yankees insignia on it, AND it was reversible. I could wear it with the insignia or without. Next thing I knew, the friends that we were with bought it for me! That was so thoughtful. I love that jacket.

Now here’s something that’s irreversible…in Numbers 23, an evil king named Balak took a prophet named Balaam to a mountain peak overlooking the encampment of the people of Israel and said to Balaam, “I want you to curse them for me”. Balaam’s response is powerful, he said “behold I have received a command to bless; He has blessed, and I cannot reverse it”! The blessing on your life cannot be reversed. Verse 21 tells us why, saying “He has not observed iniquity in Jacob, nor has He seen wickedness in Israel“. When God blesses, no one (no prophet, no sorcerer, no devil, no one) can reverse it. You are irreversibly blessed! You can never be cursed. No generational curse or any other curse can come upon you because God has already blessed you through the power of the blood of Jesus. When your enemies say negative things about you out of envy, jealousy, and fear, know this: the Lord is your defender, it is God who gives influence to words, and He can cause their words to fall to the ground. I want this to sink deep into your heart. In Christ Jesus, you are irreversibly blessed. No matter how dire your circumstances may seem right now, put a smile on your face and a spring in your step. Why? Because whom the Lord has blessed, no one can curse.
