Promise 31 from Numbers 24:1-2

Numbers 24:1-2 - "When Balaam saw that it pleased the Lord to bless Israel, he did not go as at other times to seek omens but he set his face toward the wilderness. And Balaam lifted up his eyes and saw Israel camping tribe by tribe; and the spirit of God came upon him." - Balaam had a personal encounter with God when his eyes were opened to that which pleases God. Prior to this mission that Balak asked him to go on, and God gave permission to go, even though intially he wasn't supposed to go, his job was to curse the enemies of those who paid him or to bless those who paid him. I really didn't believe he condsidered God too much, except to have an awareness of Him and maybe even a fear of Him. Even though he was not to go on this trip with Balak, God used this time to show Balaam what brings peleasure to God's heart. It was after he saw what pleases God, then the Spirit of God fell upon him.
Something I've experienced myself the last few years is, as soon as God reveals to me something new about Him, especially those things that bring Him pleasure, then I feel the Holy Spirit come upon me, which manifests in a variety of ways. It usually isn't the other way around, from my recent experience. God, Himself gives a fresh revelation using whatever means He chooses; scripture, a sermon, a talk with a friend, a song or even nature, then "Bam!" enter Holy Spirit on the scene. I could write a book on this whole topic, but just to bring clarification, because I know most of the conservative christian world would disagree with my statement thus far. When we have Christ in us, of course we have the Holy Spirit in us too. It is the work of the Spirit of God that opens our eyes to see the new revelations of God. This is what I call "the gentle Spirit within us. He does his job and we get it, we get what He is showing us and that revelation drops from our heads into our hearts, which springs up joy, peace, healing, whatever the case may be, then the "Gentle Holy Spirit" rises up and becomes a "party animal Holy Spirit" who begins to celebrate that we got it. At this point our little fleshly bodies can't handle all that Holy rumbling going on inside us and it starts doing uncontrollable things in response. Its like our soul and the party animal Spirit start to dance and the body doesn't know what to with it. So the body falls down, or shakes, or rocks or dances, laughs or cries or does flips or stand on its head. This is what happens when the joy hits our souls when we understand and respond to those things that please God, when we come into agreement to be pleased with those things that please God. The spiritual party begins and the Holy Spirit is the D.J.  Balaam explains his experience in vss. 3-4, "The oracle of Balaam the son of Beor, and the oracle of the man whose eye is opened; The oracle of him who hears the words of God, who sees the vision of the Almighty, falling down, yet having his eyes uncovered." The party began and he fell down at the revelation of the Almighty God. So what is the promise? God raises up the party animal Spirit within us when we come into agreement to be pleased with those things which please God.
