Don’t Be a Fool!

June 19

Fools because of their transgression, and because of their

iniquities, are afflicted. Their soul abhorreth all manner

of meat; and they draw near unto the gates of death. Then

they cry unto the Lord in their trouble, and he saveth

them out of their distresses.—PSALM 107:17–19

Don’t Be a Fool!

I remember praying for a sixteen-year-old girl who had a

venereal disease. Now when she came up to the prayer line, I

didn’t know anything about her. I found out later that at the age

of fifteen, she got involved with a gang. Now she was saved and

filled with the Holy Ghost, but she had gotten involved in all

kinds of sin and sexual immorality. At sixteen, the doctors

wanted to take out all her female organs. They were damaged.

Of course, if those organs were removed, she could never

become a mother.

As she stood in the prayer line, the Spirit of God said to me,

“Fools, because of their iniquities, because of their

transgressions, are afflicted. Say to her, ‘Confess, “I’m that

fool,” and you’ll be healed.’”

So I just spoke that out to her. I said, “The Bible says that

fools, because of their iniquities and transgression, are afflicted.

Confess that you are that fool and you’ll be healed.”

I never laid hands on her. She threw her hands up and said,

“I’m that fool,” over and over again. She was instantly healed

and never had to have that operation. In the process of time,

she got married and became a mother.

Even since I’ve been saved, I’ve had to go to God and say,

“I’ve been a fool. I acted foolishly. Forgive me.” And, thank God,

He did. If you’ve never done that, you probably need to start

right now.

Confession:

Father God, I have acted foolishly. I ask You to forgive me and

cleanse me from all unrighteousness. Thank You.
