Influence
Good
Morning,
I
pray peace and blessing to you all since my last message. Holy Spirit began to
deal with me about this message a couple weeks ago. Do you really understand
the level of influence that you carry as a believer and citizen representative
of Gods Kingdom? Many of us don’t walk in the complete confidence, authority,
and power God has given us. Our impact in our homes, schools, jobs, and
community should be enormous. We carry the ability to pull others into the law
of God based upon our actions and obedience to the instruction/principles of
God. For example 2 Corinthians 9:7 reads, So let each one give as he purposes
in his heart, not grudgingly or of necessity; For God loves a cheerful giver. So when
we begin to focus on the need and provide a solution, then people will begin to
give cheerfully to
what God has instructed you to do. Well when this happens you have just pulled
this person into the law of this scripture because now God blesses them for
being a cheerful giver.
When we begin to walk in complete confidence about our purpose and Gods Kingdom
it begins to attract others so that we can begin to enhance the principles of
God in their lives. Deuteronomy 31:6 reads, Be strong and courageous, do not be
afraid or tremble at them, for the Lord your God is the one who goes with you.
He will not fail you or forsake you. When we begin to internalize this
scripture it will create a boldness and a sense of urgency in the things you
have established and declared with the Lord to go out and accomplish his will.
Once this happens we tap into our omnipotence that is God given and truly begin
to change circumstances and environments. Therefore we should be advancing the
Kingdom of God in every aspect of our lives and this world. We should never
carry the mindset that “this is just how it is” when we have the ability to
change the atmosphere/culture of it. However it all starts with our actions
because when we begin to live God’s word this is when teaching really takes
place. When we apply the word of God in our everyday lives and become obedient
to His law then manifestation begins to take place. As manifestation takes
place it allows others to see the power of God through complete obedience and
denying our own personal agendas as well as our flesh. Many times an
individual(s) first encounter with God will be through the example they see in
your life. This is why it’s important to be true to our brothers and sisters in
Christ by not contradicting ourselves in our actions of everyday living. Philippians
3:17 reads, “Brethren join in following the example, and note those who so
walk, as you have us for a pattern (NIV). In many letters Paul wrote to the
church he would reference to following the example that was already set before
them. There are so many situations and systems the enemy has such a stronghold
and we as believers should be infiltrating to bring change that will operate
based on the Kingdom of God. Don’t take your responsibility of being an example
and the level of influence you have lightly. Titus 2:7-8 reads, in all things
showing yourself to be a pattern of good works; in doctrine showing integrity, reverence,
incorruptibility, sound speech that cannot be condemned, that one who is an opponent
may be ashamed, having nothing evil to say of you(NIV). This says a lot about
the importance of your influence in the lives of others. Your life could be the
example that encourages, draws, and even propels someone to develop that needed
relationship with God. Peace and blessings to you all.

As a believer your influence is a responsibility to
God, yourself, and others. We must be passionate about our boldness in Christ so that we may infiltrate the kingdom of darkness and influence it with the principles/laws of the Kingdom of God to bring change. ~d.taylor
