1 Corinthians 2:14 <\/span><\/strong>
The Soulish man has no capacity to comprehend the language of the Spirit of God; spiritual things seem meaningless to him; he is incapable to discern that which can only be spiritually appreciated. (Mirror Bible)<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Have you stopped sharing God because of rejection?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do you sometimes find yourself talking to someone about God, Who He is, what He has done and continues to do for the world, and specifically what He\u00a0has done in your life? Do you share the godly choices you\u2019re making because of Him? Do you find they look at you as if you\u2019re crazy? What do you do? Do you stop and ask yourself, \u201cwhy are they looking at me with that strange expression on their face\u201d? Or do you keep sharing? The reality is, if they don\u2019t know Christ, they have no way to comprehend what you\u2019re talking about. They don\u2019t have the ability to celebrate with you because they can only receive your word if they have a soft heart and a spiritual encounter with the Lord. They are not there. This is not a character assessment; it is a spiritual one. Don\u2019t stop sharing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1 Corinthians 3:7-9 So neither is the one who plants nor the one who waters anything, but [only] God who causes the growth. 8 He who plants and he who waters are one [in importance and esteem, working toward the same purpose]; but each will receive his own reward according to his own labor. 9 For we are God\u2019s fellow workers [His servants working together]; you are God\u2019s cultivated field [His garden, His vineyard], God\u2019s building. (Amplified Bible)<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If someone is open to listen, continue to share. You never know if what you are saying will be the planting, the watering or the fertilizing of the plant. You don\u2019t know where they are in the process, but God does. Take advantage of every opportunity to testify of who God is and what He has done in your life. Be mindful not to be antagonistic in how you interact. However, if they\u2019re willing to listen, share. This is a big test in your process. Rejection is not an easy thing to snap back from, but God is able to keep you. Remember, God can use your testimony to draw them and save their soul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please agree with me as I pray:<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Father, I thank You for every opportunity to lift You up, to share the gospel, to talk about who You are and what You\u2019ve done. I understand the carnal man cannot really expressly believe and celebrate the information being provided. I know one plants, one waters, but You give the increase. You are the One who draws and Who saves. So, I will continue to share. I know I don\u2019t have the big picture. I know I don\u2019t know what path a person is on. You know. Please forgive me for not taking advantage of the opportunities You present before me. I don\u2019t want to miss any more of them because<\/em><\/em> of being moved by what I see or don’t see or what I hear or don’t hear. Your word says that if You be lifted, You\u2019ll draw. I will not be discouraged, and I won\u2019t give up if I don\u2019t get the response I am looking for. I will continue to yield myself to You. Please use me where ever, however, and with whom ever You choose. Here am I send me\u2026 \u00a0<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
