Amen, we can work and work and work to convince someone who only becomes angry at the attempt, they are wasting our time. It might actually be a lack of faith to think we must keep trying, God can do it better than we and knows their heart better than we do.
When we discern that someone is not listening and hostile toward us and God it is prudent and wise to leave them alone. God will tells us when to do this it is best to listen to Him.
However in order to hear God on this matter we must pray and obey the Holy Spirit when He speaks. Too many people pay more attention to the cultural voices around them that keep them in bondage to relationships that diminish their walk with Christ.
1 Corinthians 15:33-34 " 33 Do not be deceived: “Bad company corrupts good character.” 34 Sober up as you ought, and stop sinning; for some of you are ignorant of God. I say this to your shame.…"
It is sin to carry on with someone who has rejected God, its a form of disloyalty to Him.
Alan Brayshaw said the following;
" Don't waste Your time with People that do not want to be Delivered. They do not want to Change. They like the demons Controlling them. They are just looking for attention but deep down they have no desire to be Holy and Know JESUS. They already have spiritual adultery in their heart. God would deliver them but they kinda like feeling alittle dirty. Without Holiness no one will see the Lord. "
" Make every effort to live in peace with everyone and to be holy; without holiness no one will see the Lord. " Hebrews 12:14
