I hope you are continuing to say YES to the things of God. Do you know that the things that come from the Spirit of God are spiritually discerned. (I Cor 2:14) Have you noticed when it comes to the things of God that not everything we do makes sense to the world’s system? The world can look at going to church, giving 10% plus more in our tithe and offerings, even reading the Bible as things that are a waster of time, or totally unnecessary. When we talk about spending time with an invisible God, listening to His voice, and talking to Him, they could think we are a little out there! But just as this scripture states, the things that are from God, don’t always make sense to the natural world’s system. What can be as natural to us as breathing can seem unusual and maybe even weird to the unbeliever! That is a good thing to be aware of, because often we use a vocabulary that is irrelevant to the world. When talking about our relationship with God to those who don’t know Him yet, we do have to consider how we say things! It might be good to explain what we mean in simple to understand ways. When we say God spoke to us, most non believers get a big question mark on their face!!! Maybe a better way to say it would be that God impressed something on your heart. When we say we felt the leading of the Lord to do a particular thing, that too can bring confusion. When we know in our heart that God gave us specific direction through His voice, or His leading we can say those things in a Christian setting without explanation. With unbelievers, we have to break it down. So we not only have to have a sensitive discerning heart toward God, we should also do the same toward those who haven’t experienced God the way that we do. Let’s use our words to encourage others, to know God like we know Him and then act like He would.
