All About GOD - Growing Relationships with Jesus and Others

Matthew 7:6

⁶ Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.

I heard this verse has to do with people who harden their hearts to the gospel. Can anyone explain this verse further?

I'm not sure how to...

The Holy Spirit has been pacient enough to get me to this point in my walk with God (almost took two years to want to share the gospel). I'm not at the point of discernment.

I just don't know how to. I just want to share the gospel with them.

You're not giving yourself enough credit.

Sister, I'm just not at that stage of spiritual development with the Holy Spirit yet.

I just want to share the gospel...physical danger doesn't matter, like the Holy Spirit has showed me through brothers and sisters in Christ overseas. What matters is sharing the gospel. There's certain walls blocking the way...

I thought the gospel was supposed to be preached to every creature. That's something I don't get when it comes to the pearls and swine.

You were at the stage of spiritual development the minute you accepted Him. It's a growing process. There are times it seems we're stuck in complete limbo but even during those times, He's working towards a purpose. "Be still and know that I am God."
