Educated Fool

We are sometime so educated that we cannot allow God to grow us up in His Word, His Will, and His Way as He pleases.

More than sexually perverted people are reprobate in God’s eyes. We too can be so educated we can become spiritually reprobate; disapproved, rejected, and despised of God. The Word of God is spiritually discerned and we allow what we have learned in the natural book to guide our steps when it comes to a God ordained call; to teach our children. Children are having children and those children are having children because no one is being taught otherwise. God wants to penetrate those thoughts and ways and bring forth His righteousness and replace the self-righteousness we have acquired through our accomplishments in the earth. God told us to lean and depend upon Him for our all and all. It is He that blesses us to get to the points in life we make it to.

There is a way that seems right to man; but the end thereof is the ways of death. We cannot out learn God; He is the Creator. We cannot use our knowledge against our sisters and brothers. We can cause a riot and not realize it. We give Satan power over us and others ignorantly because we are not teachable; we know it all. God wants to strengthen our weak hands, confirm our feeble and weak knees. He wants to deliver the fearful hearts that they become strong in Him that we may be saved. God has to save us from ourselves for we are self-destructing. How can we kick against the prick? God is the greater stick than any in the earth. It’s not so sweet being an educated fool. The godly are privileged not of their own but by the teaching of the Word we learn of God.

Jeremiah 25:3-7 from the thirteenth year of Josiah the son of Amon King of Judah, even unto this day, that is the three and twentieth year, the Word of the Lord hath come unto me and I have spoken unto you, rising early and speaking; but ye have not hearkened. And the Lord hath sent unto you all his servants the Prophets rising early and sending them; but ye have not hearkened, nor inclined your ear to hear. They said turn ye again now everyone from his evil way, and from the evil of your doings and dwell in the land that the Lord hath given unto you and to your fathers forever and ever. And go not after other gods to serve them and to worship them, and provoke me not to anger with the works of your hands; and I will do you no hurt. Yet ye have not hearkened unto me, said the Lord; that ye might provoke me to anger with the works of your hands to you own hurt.

An educated fool is one that has be taught, trained, informed, tutored and instructed naturally and spiritually and uses what they have learned to become a nitwit, nincompoop, blockhead, or clown to deceive, trick dupe, and mislead whoever they are teaching to them rather than God. They make themselves silly, simple and frivolous. We forbid people to learn anything other than from us. We become an educated fool because we cannot outwit God but think we can. We waste so much energy, power and might to force our dominance on others. Sometime authority goes to our head and we become prideful where we began to require things of people through the use of our education. We demand and command our leaders to do what we want done. We force our way upon the people and we are driving rather than God. Education is knowledge and wisdom and we need it that we can enlighten, instruct, enrich, and guide those in our care. Christianity places leaders as the chief agent in the earth to be the first partaker of God’s Word. We have become so educated in the Word of God that we think we have arrived. We have put the Word aside and is leaning on our own natural ability to point out the main, foremost, and principal knowledge of God. There are basic, fundamental and essential elements in the Word that cannot be watered down. The Word is what it is and we cannot escape the central and primary guidelines laid forth in the Word. We can’t escape God.

For so long we have tried the works of our own hands that have brought nothing but hurt. The Word of God is right and we must drink of it every day. It is our sword and when we put down our sword we lean to our own understanding which in most cases causes destruction to the vision of God. It makes him call for the sword to rise against us rather than be for us. We cause evil to come upon us and we will be punished. We the people have a call; naturally and spiritually to teach a nation to be conformed to God. God knows the thoughts that He think toward us, thoughts of peace and not of evil to give us an expected end. When we call upon Him for His leading and guidance He will hearken to us. When we seek Him with our whole heart and search Him out; we will find Him. Not only that but He will be found of us and turn away the captivity in our minds that makes us an educated fool. When we turn then God will proclaim our liberty on the rooftops. The educational deafness will once again be removed and the desolation that dwell will cease and strength will be the driving force in our lives again. It is God’s strength we need that only comes through His righteousness. God has set us as watchmen over the affairs of men but we allow the prince of the air to be the watchmen more than us. He then learns of our weaknesses and bring accusations against us not only to God but man also.

We can be so self-righteous and educated that it works negatively for us. The righteous shall indeed live but if we trust in our own righteousness and commit iniquity, all of our righteousness shall not be remembered but the iniquity that we commit we shall die for it. Don’t be an educated fool even the wicked is restored when they repent. That pledge made with God the day they repent will be honored if they keep the pledge. This is why God said He would shorten the time of even the very elect for they would not make Heaven their home for eternity. Don’t be so educated that we cannot repent our sin and walk in the statutes of life without committing the sin again. Our way is not equal to God for when we turn from His righteousness; we could die in it. A gamble is a gamble and we are gambling with His righteousness when we use other means to do His Work. The educated fool will no longer make prayer to God; they do not understand His Truth. God is righteous in all His Works but we have gone past His Voice to do what we want, when we want to and how we want to. Of course we have an answer for all that ask of us of our doings. Let’s get educated right and obey the voice of God. It’s time we turn ourselves back from us and to God.

How do we turn back to God? First we must realize and confess that we have turned away. Pray and confess the sin we have caused others to commit also when we stood in the way of sinners. Now we need a touch from God that we can be informed by Him that He may give us skill and understanding. We must again catch the vision, consider it and understand the matter. We must make an end to the sin of being an educated fool and submit to reconciliation that we can bring about everlasting righteousness and seal the vision of God in man’s heart once again. God wants to restore and He must first begin with His anointed. If we will be true today we have sinned and have committed iniquity, and have done wickedly, and have rebelled, even by departing from His precepts and judgments. Neither have we hearkened to the servants of God or the prophets. Daniel said confusion of face belongs to us and not God; walk in His Ways, keep His Word and do His Will.
