24 The Fool’s Dozen
foolishness. I know people like that. They’re always jesting. You
can’t get a straight answer out of them.
What they’re actually doing is trying to sell themselves
socially by saying cute things all the time. But you don’t need
to do that. You have the Spirit of God, faith and a godly personality
to endear you to people. That’s all you need.
7. A fool trusts his own understanding (Proverbs 28:26).
The Word of God tells us to lean not to our own understanding,
but to trust in the Lord with all of our heart. When
we do that, God will direct our paths (Proverbs 3:5-6).
8. A fool utters all of his mind (Proverbs 29:11).
This is the guy who gets upset about something and decides
he has to let everybody know about it. “I’ll just give
them a piece of my mind,” he’ll say.
Don’t do that. Nobody wants a piece of your mind. If you
give it to them, you’ll only end up alienating people.
Learn to keep quiet.
That especially applies in the area of spiritual revelation.
When the Holy Spirit gives you insight into a situation, don’t
go blab it all over town. If you do, the Lord won’t trust you
with this kind of supernatural knowledge in the future.
There have been those who have received revelations
about someone’s weaknesses or needs. They’ve been given
that insight about what was wrong so they could pray for
that person. However, instead of keeping that information
between themselves and God, they told others about it.
That kind of conduct will cause the loss of the anointing of
the intercessor.
Don’t let that happen to you.
