A Fool Hath Said in His Heart
"There is no God"
by Ron Wilkerson
I trust you have been striving to fight the good
fight, that fight of faith that so easily gets lost in our busy lives. I can
tell you, my heart is aching right now because I have simply disregarded my
King. Oh how that hurts Him! I can feel His heart as I type and barely able to
hold back tears. How could I do such a thing? What would cause me to disregard
my Father?
I had that strong feeling that something was missing,
something was not right, the hand of the Almighty was getting heavier as He
pleaded, "return to me my son", "I am the good shepherd, willing to lose none
that the Father has given Me". How sweet it is to hear the Holy Spirit, to know
you are loved and to feel His touch on your life. We humans are nothing, "Who
are we that God is mindful of us?" This led me into some scripture we should
all keep close at hand.
It burdens my heart that so many know not what it is
to be touched by the Holy Spirit, both Christian and non-Christian alike. The
Holy Spirit has a very, very intimate connection with God's children as Jesus
promised us, HE IS OUR COMFORTER, HE REVEALS ALL THINGS OF GOD TO US, HE GIVES
US GOD'S PATH FOR OUR LIFE. The HOLY SPIRIT IS EQUALLY GOD!!! You may pray to
Him, He listens, and He knows what you need. Do not forsake
Him.
To the matter, let us reason together says the
Lord.
The fool has said in his
heart, "There is no God." They are corrupt, they have
committed abominable deeds; There is no one who does
good.
This fool did not speak it from his mouth, this fool said IN HIS HEART that there is no God. I feel sorry for this person for their ability to reason with a modicum of intelligence has been corrupted by the ruler of this world. This person believes his intellect has provided all he needs to know of matters concerning religion and spirituality. He has no need and thus IN HIS HEART there truly is no God. Just as God has said,
Proverbs 10:8
The wise of heart will receive commands, But a
babbling fool will be ruined.
Proverbs 18:2 A fool does not delight in understanding, But only in revealing his own mind.
Isaiah 32:6
For a fool speaks nonsense, And his heart inclines
toward wickedness: To practice ungodliness and to
speak error against the LORD,
To keep the hungry person unsatisfied And to withhold drink from the thirsty.
Ecclesiastes 10:3
Even when the fool walks along the road, his sense is lacking and he
demonstrates to everyone that he is a fool.
Isaiah 40:7-8 The grass withers, the flower fades, When the breath of the LORD blows upon it; Surely the people are grass. The grass withers, the flower fades, But the word of our God stands forever.
You shall surely die in your iniquities with NO ADVOCATE TO PLEAD YOUR CASE before a JUST and HOLY GOD! Jesus is that only way my friend.
Isaiah 40:10-11 Behold, the Lord GOD will come with might, With His arm ruling for Him. Behold, His reward is with Him And His recompense before Him. Like a shepherd He will tend His flock, In His arm He will gather the lambs And carry them in His bosom; He will gently lead the nursing ewes.
Jesus longs to take your burdens, for His yoke is easy and His burden is light. Cast your cares upon Him Christian, and non-Christians you had better open your eyes.
Here is the God who weighs you unbelieving sinners. He tells of His own glory and issues a challenge to you. Go for it, give it a try and see if you may test the God of ALL CREATION.
Isaiah 40:12-15 Who has measured the waters in the hollow of His hand, And marked off the heavens by the span, And calculated the dust of the earth by the measure, And weighed the mountains in a balance And the hills in a pair of scales? Who has directed the Spirit of the LORD, Or as His counselor has informed Him? With whom did He consult and who gave Him understanding? And who taught Him in the path of justice and taught Him knowledge And informed Him of the way of understanding? Behold, the nations are like a drop from a bucket, And are regarded as a speck of dust on the scales; Behold, He lifts up the islands like fine dust.
Isaiah 40:17-18 All the nations are as nothing before Him, They are regarded by Him as less than nothing and meaningless. To whom then will you liken God? Or what likeness will you compare with Him?
You see, my God does not care who YOU are regarding your position or status on this earth. He will use your position just as He will use Satan's position to confound the wisdom of the so called wise of this earth. Nothing, and I mean nothing, takes Yahweh, the GREAT I AM by surprise. And yet, He still pleads with you to reason.
Isaiah 40:21-28 Do you not know? Have you not heard? Has it not been declared to you from the beginning? Have you not understood from the foundations of the earth? It is He who sits above the circle of the earth, And its inhabitants are like grasshoppers, Who stretches out the heavens like a curtain And spreads them out like a tent to dwell in. He it is who reduces rulers to nothing, Who makes the judges of the earth meaningless. Scarcely have they been planted, Scarcely have they been sown, Scarcely has their stock taken root in the earth, But He merely blows on them, and they wither, And the storm carries them away like stubble. "To whom then will you liken Me That I would be his equal?" says the Holy One. Lift up your eyes on high And see who has created these stars, The One who leads forth their host by number, He calls them all by name; Because of the greatness of His might and the strength of His power, Not one of them is missing. Why do you say, O Jacob, and assert, O Israel, "My way is hidden from the LORD, And the justice due me escapes the notice of my God"? Do you not know? Have you not heard? The Everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth Does not become weary or tired. His understanding is inscrutable.
But for those who know Him, for those who care to listen and bow down, to seek His face in their disgusting, shameful, wretched, awful sin filled bodies, HE GIVES GRACE AND STRENGTH. Why, I cannot say other than His GREAT LOVE for His called one's... I certainly deserve death SO MUCH MORE THAN YOU ALL... I SHOULD BE DEAD WHERE I SIT RIGHT NOW.... If you only knew what great sins I have committed, but MY SAVIOR SETS ME FREE and I GROW. Grow with me, walk with me and He will do as He said,
Isaiah 40:29-31 He gives strength to the weary, And to him who lacks might He increases power. Though youths grow weary and tired, And vigorous young men stumble badly, Yet those who wait for the LORD Will gain new strength; They will mount up with wings like eagles, They will run and not get tired, They will walk and not become weary.
I underlined a portion in this scripture for you young men out there, though we are stumbling badly, our position in Christ is never in doubt. Keep witnessing, testifying of the Lord's great love in your life. Show others the way you came to the cross, the pursuit of God for them. He pursues them, even at this late hour during the age of man.
Isaiah 41:1-4 "Coastlands, listen to Me in silence, And let the peoples gain new strength; Let them come forward, then let them speak; Let us come together for judgment. "Who has aroused one from the east Whom He calls in righteousness to His feet? He delivers up nations before him And subdues kings. He makes them like dust with his sword, As the wind-driven chaff with his bow. "He pursues them, passing on in safety, By a way he had not been traversing with his feet. "Who has performed and accomplished it, Calling forth the generations from the beginning? 'I, the LORD, am the first, and with the last. I am He.'
Isaiah 41:10 'Do not fear, for I am with you; Do not anxiously look about you, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, surely I will help you, Surely I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.'
Isaiah 41:21-23 "Present your case," the LORD says. "Bring forward your strong arguments," The King of Jacob says. Let them bring forth and declare to us what is going to take place; As for the former events, declare what they were, That we may consider them and know their outcome. Or announce to us what is coming; Declare the things that are going to come afterward, That we may know that you are gods; Indeed, do good or evil, that we may anxiously look about us and fear together.
Now, you unbelievers, present your case to the Lord. He has presented His case for you this very night. Are you the fool that hath said in his heart that "there is no God"? Present it to Him, let him know all that you have against the possibility of a creator. Sure, present your case for evolution, present it now. If your case does not hold water after you have weighed it with God then hear the Word of the Lord, and decide wisely. This could be your last chance. Yes, the Lord is talking to you...
Isaiah 42:5-9 Thus says God the LORD, Who created the heavens and stretched them out, Who spread out the earth and its offspring, Who gives breath to the people on it And spirit to those who walk in it, "I am the LORD, I have called You in righteousness, I will also hold You by the hand and watch over You, And I will appoint You as a covenant to the people, As a light to the nations, To open blind eyes, To bring out prisoners from the dungeon And those who dwell in darkness from the prison. "I am the LORD, that is My name; I will not give My glory to another, Nor My praise to graven images. "Behold, the former things have come to pass, Now I declare new things; Before they spring forth I proclaim them to you."
Isaiah 43:10-13 "You are My witnesses," declares the LORD, "And My servant whom I have chosen, So that you may know and believe Me And understand that I am He. Before Me there was no God formed, And there will be none after Me. "I, even I, am the LORD, And there is no savior besides Me. "It is I who have declared and saved and proclaimed, And there was no strange god among you; So you are My witnesses," declares the LORD, "And I am God. "Even from eternity I am He, And there is none who can deliver out of My hand; I act and who can reverse it?"
Do not regard lightly the Word of the Lord. He has declared Himself to you. I am up at this late hour because HE IS CALLING OUT TO YOU TO REASON. Something has NEVER come from NOTHING. This universe you live in, which you think is so big, it quakes in God's wrath as a speck of dust. What then are you? Find the Hope of Christ as He waits for you...
Psalm 39:7
"And now, Lord, for what do I wait? My hope is in
You.
Matthew 12:21
"AND IN HIS NAME THE GENTILES WILL HOPE."
Romans 8:20
For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because
of Him who subjected it, in hope
Romans 8:24
For in hope we have been saved, but hope that is seen is not hope; for
who hopes for what he already sees?
Romans 15:13
Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so
that you will abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.
Shalom
