[S] 1 John 4:6 --
6 We are from God; he
who knows God listens to us; he who is not from God does not listen to
us. By this we know the spirit of truth and the spirit of error.
[O] It's almost like speaking in different languages. If I walk into a place where they speak the language I do not understand, no matter how hard they try they just won't communicate with me. Not matter how hard I try, I will not comprehend what they're saying to me. If I walk into a place and I know exactly what they are talking about, then I can safely say I belong to that community of people (whether I agree with what they're saying or not). The same is true with the spiritual world. Those who understand what God is saying through His Word and Spirit belong together while others do not yet belong there.
[A] I need to keep in mind who I am speaking to and adjust my spiritual language accordingly if I want to communicate with them. This is not to say that I will assimilate myself to the worldly concepts, but when I talk to those not part of Godly realm yet I need to speak such that they would understand what God is trying to communicate with them. I am like a translator.
[P] Dear Father, use me as the translator of Your love language to those who do not yet understand. Give me to discernment to know when I should use which language so I would let more and more people know about Your message of love to them. In Jesus' name. Amen.
