Praying for God’s Discernment to Know Who to Minister to and Who NOT to Minister to

“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.” Matthew 7:6   

if you are entertaining and still trying to minister to dogs and swine, you are in sin.

“But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain. 10 A man that is an heretick after the first and second admonition REJECT; 11 Knowing that he that is such is subverted, and sinneth, being condemned of himself.” Titus 3:9-11

“Condemned of himself – due to reaping corruption for his sin (Galatians 6:7-8).

Those who will not repent and turn to the truth are subverted, are in sin, unrepentant, and condemned of themselves.

“Matthew 7 Verse 6 proves that Jesus did not intend to forbid every kind of judgment. He warned His disciples not to give holy things to dogs or to cast … pearls before swine. Under the Mosaic Law, dogs and swine were unclean animals and here the terms are used to depict wicked people. When we meet vicious people who treat divine truths with utter contempt and respond to our preaching of the claims of Christ with abuse and violence, we are not obligated to continue to share the gospel with them. To press the matter only brings increased condemnation to the offenders. Needless to say, it requires spiritual perception to discern these people. Perhaps that is why the next verses take up the subject of prayer, by which we can ask for wisdom.” Believer’s Bible Commentary

“And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.” 2 Timothy 2:22

Satan wants to wear out the saints by entangling them with his unrepentant agents so they are not freed up to minister to the worthy “faithful men.”

Are we seeing the contrast between “dogs,” “swine,” and “faithful men”?

Daniel 7:25 speaks about how Satan and his agents “shall wear out the saints of the most High” and we are not to “be ignorant” (2 Corinthians 2:11).

“This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.” Galatians 5:16

“And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, when ye depart out of that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet.” Matthew 10:14

God wants us to get the sin out of our own lives, to be used of Him to help others, and to pray for discernment to see who are the dogs and swine are so we can reject them.

All who do not receive the Word of God by faith count themselves unworthy of everlasting life. They eliminate themselves.

“Then Paul and Barnabas waxed bold, and said, It was necessary that the word of God should first have been spoken to you: but seeing ye put it from you, and judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life, lo, we turn to the Gentiles.” Acts 13:46

Like Saul, these who are swine and dogs today are greed, self-serving rebels.

“And Samuel said, Hath the LORD as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the LORD? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams. 23 For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because thou hast rejected the word of the LORD, he hath also rejected thee from being king.” 1 Samuel 15:22-23  

A.S.K. = Ask. Seek. Knock.

Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:”  Matthew 7:7

Ask and keep asking.

Seek and keep on seeking.

Knock and keep on knocking.

We are here instructed to ask, seek, and knock in prayer on God’s door, in part for Him to show us who to minister to and who not to minister to.

“Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.” Philippians 4:6

YOUR PRAYER: Holy Father, please forgive all my sins right now and cleanse me from all hypocrisy, deceit, rebellion, pride, and unbelief. Teach me to obey You which is better than my own human reasoning and foolishness. Bless this Your vessel to be cleansed, to be prepared to be used by You, walking in Your wisdom which is Your Word. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

The LORD Lift Up His Countenance Upon Thee, and Give Thee Peace [podcast]


“For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another. 4 But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared, 5 Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; 6 Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour; 7 That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.” Titus 3:3-7 

“The LORD bless thee, and keep thee: 25 The LORD make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee: 26 The LORD lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace. ” Numbers 6:24-26
