Under the Influence

Wow! What an awesome week so far. The best is yet to come. I want to encourage all of you to come out to our Bible study tonight. You will not be let down. Click here for more information. Don’t forget about “The Morning Show." Click here to watch the show.

 

 

Matthew 4:19 (King James Version) And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men. When you are under the influence of God’s presence and protection, nothing is able to move you out of the confidence you have in Christ. Jesus said greater works will we do because He goes to the father.


Let me expound on three points of influence.

  1. Giving. Everything we do in life is about giving. What we say, how we say what we say, the way we act, and react. Everything is a seed. We are giving life or death into every area of our lives. Jesus said it is more blessed to give than to receive. Another words be a person that is under the influence of heaven by giving. Giving can open and not giving can hold up things in our lives that we have been asking God for.
  2. Growing. It’s imperative in life that we continue to grow. Faith without works is dead. If we are not moving, then we are retracting. Jesus said follow me and I will make you. If we are to be under God’s influence and place His influence in our everyday life, then we must be following and growing.
  3. Gathering. Matthew 6:33 Seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these things will be added. If we are not gathering people to be following Christ, then we are not releasing the influence of God in others. Influence is the greatest tool that can change a pattern or cause someone to do something for the good or the bad.

Today, take the time and make sure in your giving, growth, and gathering, that you are under the influence of God’s presence and causing people to come be influenced by Him.
