Nancy DeMas-Walgamuth poses a sobering question. What's your price? What's my price? What would it take to get you to sin, to disobey the will of God?

This is the Revive Our Hearts podcast with Nancy DeMas Walgam, author of Brokenness, The Heart God Revives.

For July 24th, 2025, I'm Dana Gresh.

Here on Reviver Hearts, we've been studying the colorful life of the prophet Balaam.

What a life of extremes.

We're in part three of a seven-day series on this complicated prophet.

Here's Nancy in the series, Blessings and Curses, a look at the life of Bailam.

We've been having some interesting conversations with some of the women in the room

in between recording these sessions.

And after the last session, someone asked me,

I have a daughter who's a prodigal walking away from the Lord.

Am I supposed to pray blessing on her?

And is it okay to pray that God doesn't bless her by giving her the job she wants,

by making her succeed and the things she's trying to do that are harming her?

And I said, you don't want to pray cursing on her,

but the way you pray a blessing is that God will bless her by not letting her succeed at the things that

she's doing that are sinful and wrong. So that's not cursing your child to pray, Lord,

don't let them succeed at sinning, right? You're blessing your child. You're saying,

Lord, hedge up their way with thorns. Make life difficult. That's God's way of blessing, and we're going to see that with Balaam, that God actually sends an angel to keep him, to get in his way, to get in his path, to keep him from being able to go on headstrong, headlong in his own way. So as you pray for your prodigal and pray, you don't want to pray, Lord, make them succeed at what

they're doing if it's going to take them further from you, right? You want God to do whatever is

needed that they can ultimately be blessed and be right with God. So we're in Numbers chapter 22.
