1 Corinthians 2:14 (New International Version)
14The man without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned.
Have you ever tried to talk with someone and they just don't get you? There have been times that I know I have talked with people and I think all they hear is the peanuts teacher...whaaaa.wwaaa...whaaa...wahhh. It is so hard as a believer to talk to some unbelievers. I feel as though I am talking to a wall....even though I know seeds get planted. Lately, I have had trouble in this area and I have had to once again turn it over to God to take care of them. Some people just will not understand me, maybe they might understand someone else. I just need to remember God is ultimately in charge and they are going to hear what they are meant to hear at that specific time. It is all on God's timing not mine, it is so hard being patient some times. It is true when someone doesn't have the spirit of God in them we are like a clanging cymbal. I pray that one day that clanging will stop and pure music will come upon them to open their ears to hear the spirit of the Lord.
I too remember before I was walking with the spirit how christians sounded to me...like they were out of their minds. So, I need to remember just where I came from and how stubborn I once was to accepting words of others. Patience is a virtue.
