How does it feel to ignore the Holy Spirit?

Question

It's telling non-believers everyday that Jesus is real, but they just ignore it. They must be selfish like they're too good for Jesus.

Answer 1

How does it feel to be an idiot who can't write an effective sentence?

Answer 2

One reason i've got self belief that is by using fact the devil's people bypass loopy whilst anybody mentions the Holy Spirit and gang up on others and say terrible issues approximately them and the Holy Spirit. some are even Christians that purely don't have self belief in Him. I somewhat have had the misfortune of being singled out and trashed at right here for bringing up questions with regard to the Baptism of the Holy Spirit and speaking in tongues. It turns right into a warfare zone at right here and that is not an astounding ingredient to witness. i think of extra might desire to be reported there is purely too plenty unbelief and self righteousness in people who wish to quell it.

Answer 3

Dude, you can't just be posting like this and expect hearts to change. You need to sit back, pray, and develop an actual relationship with someone before you share. Then you need to do more listening than talking and share God with "gentleness" as the Bible says to.

You can't make people choose to seek God or believe. Your job is to educate, love, and just put it out there as an option.

A lot of people do think they are too good for Jesus. Some think they are smarter than everyone who believes. But I doubt they are aware that that's why they reject it. Most actually just believe it's foolish without researching it at all.

Answer 4

It sounds like you need to change your outlook of non-believers.
I reccomend you read Mark 10:17-23


17As Jesus started on his way, a man ran up to him and fell on his knees before him. "Good teacher," he asked, "what must I do to inherit eternal life? 18"Why do you call me good?" Jesus answered. "No one is good—except God alone. 19You know the commandments: 'Do not murder, do not commit adultery, do not steal, do not give false testimony, do not defraud, honor your father and mother. 20"Teacher," he declared, "all these I have kept since I was a boy." 21Jesus looked at him and loved him. "One thing you lack," he said. "Go, sell everything you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me, 22At this the man's face fell. He went away sad, because he had great wealth. 23Jesus looked around and said to his disciples, "How hard it is for the rich to enter the kingdom of God!"

Pay specific attention to verse 21. It says that Jesus love him eventhough he went away forsaking Jesus. That is the gracious and merciful God that Jesus is. He loves us despite what we are, and for believers that includes us. We didn't deserve to be saved, but He saved us anyway. We are no more righteous than the non-believers, we only have Jesus as our righteousness.

I reccomend you read AKA Lost by Jim Henderson. It will give you a new perspective of how God views non-believers and will give you and understanding of the people God misses most.

Answer 5

To be selfish is to be proud. To be proud is to be with great sin. All selfish people want is more. What good is greed and glutiny? None. More sin. If your selfish and proud, your focus is not on Jesus. It's on enhancing your material world. Your question is great. How would it feel to ignore the Holy Spirit? Well, for myself, it is a difficult time period. I rely on God and the Holy Spirit to smile with me when things are good and to cry with me when things are bad. However I have had times when I was selfish and wanted to take total control over my life because I thought I knew it all. I ignored His Spirit. What did it get me? Not what I wanted, that's for sure. But, by repeatedly ignoring Him, I got the best lesson I could ever ask for in life. The chance to understand humility. That lesson has brought more insight to my life from the perspective of appreciating everything in my life. I don't ignore the Holy Spirit anymore. When He says jump I say how high. The blessings and hard times alike, abound in my life. But you know what, I wouldn't change it for the world. It is impossilbe to ignore communication from God. When He thinks I need to know something, He'll share it through the Holy Spirit. I am very content in my belief and faith in Him. If non believers don't believe in God, now, they will someday. Maybe not in our lifetime, but they will.

Answer 6

I feel terrible when I try to ignore the Holy Spirit very restless, just a achy feeling. I don't do that very often anymore. I also have clues for when I am not intentionally ignoring it, you know, like when my own thoughts start getting in the way.

Answer 8

...will ya listen to yourself? 'its telling NON-BELIEVERS everyday that jesus is real, but they just IGNORE it.' Dude, that's like telling a teenager that Santa Clause is real, and getting mad when they scoff at you.

'they must be selfish' right, yeup. That must be it. They can't have their own opinion or GASPETH! Believe in another God(s) or religion. Nope. They must be selfish.

Answer 9

people ignore the holy spirit because Lucifer is influencing them and they are under the impression(by peers and family/superiors) that eiter God isnt real, that what we are doing is wrong, or that they have plenty of time to get God later(even though they aren't even guarenteed the next day)

Answer 10

I am amazed at all the mockery here. I shouldn't be. It's closer to the end of time than you think and God help you all. You have chosen your way so that you won't be convicted in your hearts for your sins. So sin on if that is your choice. But mark it in your little black book...the time will come...either repentance or doom. God bless you.

Answer 11

When it is the holy spirit telling me I will listen not you... other wise these people are selfish cause they didn't give you money? is that why you say that?
