Are you a fool?

Until your answer to the question, “what plans do you have for xyz” reveals your dependency on the Lord, you are not yet having a servant’s heart. Our many ideas are rubbish in contrast to the plans of the Lord and a heart that utters such words is presumptuous, knowing nothing.

Prayer should never be disreputable; period!

What you are praying for/about, and your motive for praying is the issue; and that is why learning to pray that God should show you what to do or not do is the beginning of wisdom and superior knowledge.

You are a fool to utter the words, “Pray until kingdom come and nothing will change. God has given us everything we need and we should just use it: our brains”.

Such speech shows you do not understand the journey of Solomon and his ultimate lesson to us at the end of Ecclesiastes. There is a more careful way to bring correction to what is observed among believers which drives this utterance.

You are likewise a fool to utter such words: “I’ve stored up a lot of good things for years to come. Let me take life easy, eat, drink, and enjoy myself. “

This is a feeling of accomplishment from your own sweat that exposes a sense of self-sufficiency. Prove this here: Luke 12:15-21.

You are a fool to have a mindset about prayer as a tool to get what you want from God and not rather for allowing God to give you what He wants for you: And failing to see the glory of Christ, you do not even understand what Gethsemane represents and your call to pick up your cross as a believer. This also is foolishness that must be found only in children and not in well nurtured heirs of God.

Luk 12:20-21 GW 20 “But God said to him, ‘You fool! I will demand your life from you tonight! Now who will get what you’ve accumulated?’ 21 That’s how it is when a person has material riches but is not rich in his relationship with God.”

Pro 22:15 Foolishness is firmly attached to a child’s heart. Spanking will remove it far from him.

So next year (2025), as sure as rain comes down and waters the earth, God Most High will bring a cane down on the bum bum of fools.

But even a fool can become wise by turning his or her foolish heart to the Lord in reverence of His holiness which was foolishly spoken of.

May our foolishness turn to wisdom before “The Teacher” comes with His rod.
