Do you enjoy conversatons with other people who share like interests? I have observed people of both genders discuss basketball, football, or other sports for hours and never tire of the conversation. If not sports the topic might be balet, opera, NASCAR, or fishing. People feel a kinship to others who share like interests. We focus on our own opinions and preferences. There are also those who share a common interst in God's word. It is very easy for the Holy Spirit to encourage and teach people who are interested in God, His Word, His opinions, His actions. Jesus responded to some Jews, "So when I tell the truth, you just naturally don't believe me! Which of you can truthfully accuse me of sin? And since I am telling you the truth, why don't you believe me? Anyone who belongs to God listens gladly to the words of God. But you don't listen because you don't belong to God." — John 8:45-47
