“The Fool Hath Said in His Heart…”

July 12, 2021 by Admin

Scripture reading: Isaiah 35:8-9

Isaiah 35:8-9 talks about a “way” where fools “…shall not err therein” (Isaiah 35:8). Do you know what that means? Have you ever been lost, and kept wandering around, and suddenly you found yourself on the right road? God said that that will not happen in this business. When you are stumbling, you are not going to find the way of God. No fools shall err therein.

“The fool hath said in his heart there is no God” (Psalm 14:1, 53:1).

This is the Biblical description of a “fool.” For fear you are thinking that I am calling anybody a fool that the Bible did not call a fool, let me just straighten it out right now: THE PERSON WHO SAYS IN HIS HEART THAT THERE IS NO GOD IS A FOOL!

A man told a story. He said he was praying for his cousin. His cousin was a Christian, but he was being tempted severely. So he was praying for him, and one day while he was praying, Jesus came to him and said, “Come with me.” When he went with Jesus, he found himself in his cousin’s bedroom, with Jesus standing beside him and angels standing around. He also saw demonic angels who were tempting this man to commit a sin, and the man was resisting. Sometimes, the angels of God would whisper in his ears and he would get strength and resist; other times the devil came and tempted him; and the man fell into the sin. The angels covered their faces, but Jesus was standing right there! If you think you can make any plan, do anything, talk about anybody—and do it in secret—you are crazy! You do not believe God! God is standing right there looking at you!

Suppose you make a secret plan—you have what we call a “conspiracy”: “Let us do so and so; and let us do so and so…” Sometimes it is just something you are thinking out in your mind. Jesus is standing there looking at you, hearing you—and you think it is a secret plan! YOU DO NOT BELIEVE GOD!

Brethren, I am asking you to believe God: to believe that God sees your innermost being, every particle of your being, every concept that you have; and that you should go before God in sackcloth and repentance, and every time you go to pray, say, “Lord God, forgive me of all my secret thoughts,” because God knows what they are and He knows who you are.

(Excerpt from The Omega Message, December 1997, pg. 4)

Thought for today: Let this be our prayer today: “Lord God, forgive me of all my secret thoughts and make me holy as You are holy. I choose to believe You.”
