"How often do I hear people say, 'The gate is straight and the way is narrow, and there are few who find it. There will be very few in Heaven; most will be lost.'My friend, I differ with you. Do you think that Christ would let the devil beat Him? That He would let the devil have more in Hell than there will be in Heaven? No, it is impossible! For then Satan would laugh at Christ. There will be more in Heaven then there are among the lost. God says, 'there will be a great multitude that no one can number who will be saved.' But He never says that there will be a great multitude that no man can count that will be lost. What glad tidings for you and me!"

Scripture for today:
Numbers 23:20 Behold, I have received a command to bless; He has blessed, and I cannot reverse it.
This passage is about a man named Balaam who is hired by the enemies of God's people to curse God's people. But every time he tried to pronounce a curse over them, a blessing came out instead! God reversed the curse into a blessing for His people!
Here is what is amazing about this:
I believe this is true for all of God's people. You are blessed and cannot be cursed! Each and every day we go through difficulties, trials, and unexpected pains. I want you to know that if you are in Christ, you are still blessed and can not be cursed! Just like God reversed the curse for Israel, I believe in every "curse" that comes against us, God is speaking greater blessings over us.
Today if you feel beat down by something or someone, know that God is still pronouncing blessing over you. It can not be reversed! He loves you. He is proud of you. In Christ you are approved and favored and forgiven and He has planned a GREAT FUTURE for you!
Romans 8:31 says, "If God be for us, who can be against us?"
Isaiah 43:13 says, "From eternity to eternity I am God. No one can snatch anyone out of My Hand. No one can undo what I have done!"
1 John 4:4 says, "Greater is He that is in you, than he that is in the world."
Isaiah 54:17 says, "No weapon formed against you shall prosper, and every tongue which rises against you in judgment, you shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is from me,” says the Lord.
Wow! What a great privilege it is to be the people of God! You are blessed and cannot be cursed!
