Influence Your World

Hebrews 10:36 Amplified

For you have need of patient endurance [to bear up under difficult circumstances without compromising], so that when you have carried out the will of God, you may receive and enjoy to the full what is promised.

Anything that puts fear into you is not from God

Whatever accusation and guilt that you carried, hitherto, Jesus Christ has sorted it out.

Any man that needs to be free only needs to look on Jesus.

Stop putting your attention on the Devil. He has been defeated by Jesus Christ.

We triumph in Christ daily.

Jesus will never attack you with fear.

Even if you were guilty, when you come to Christ, you will be free.

Never glorify the Devil in your life.

We walk by faith, not by sight.

Look at yourself in the light of faith and the light of God.

You carry potential, you carry power, you carry grace.

Stop complaining

The litmus test of your love for God is your love for me.,

When you cannot fathom what has happened, don't let your emotions take the first step. Instead pray and ask God for direction.

When things are not rosy, know that God is making a way.

We know in part, we understand in part. What is important is that God is for you.

James 1:12-18 The Passion Translation

12 If your faith remains strong, even while surrounded by life’s difficulties, you will continue to experience the untold blessings of God! True happiness comes as you pass the test with faith, and receive the victorious crown of life promised to every lover of God!

13 When you are tempted don’t ever say, “God is tempting me,” for God is incapable of being tempted by evil and he is never the source of temptation. 

14 Instead it is each person’s own desires and thoughts that drag them into evil and lure them away into darkness. 

15 Evil desires give birth to evil actions. And when sin is fully mature it can murder you! 

16 So my friends, don’t be fooled by your own desires!

17 Every gift God freely gives us is good and perfect, streaming down from the Father of lights, who shines from the heavens with no hidden shadow or darkness and is never subject to change. 

18 God was delighted to give us birth by the truth of his infallible Word so that we would fulfill his chosen destiny for us and become the favorite ones out of all his creation!

If God wants to do good to anyone, you will be top on His list.

You are the seed of God!

1 Samuel 3:1-10 New King James Version

1 Now the boy Samuel ministered to the Lord before Eli. And the word of the Lord was rare in those days; there was no widespread revelation. 2 And it came to pass at that time, while Eli was lying down in his place, and when his eyes had begun to grow so dim that he could not see, 3 and before the lamp of God went out in the tabernacle of the Lord where the ark of God was, and while Samuel was lying down,

Anointing is important, talent is good, but experience will give you direction and preservation.

2 Corinthians 12: 6 - 10 Good News Translation

6 If I wanted to boast, I would not be a fool, because I would be telling the truth. But I will not boast, because I do not want any of you to have a higher opinion of me than you have as a result of what you have seen me do and heard me say.

7 But to keep me from being puffed up with pride because of the many wonderful things I saw, I was given a painful physical ailment, which acts as Satan's messenger to beat me and keep me from being proud. 

8 Three times I prayed to the Lord about this and asked him to take it away. 

9 But his answer was: “My grace is all you need, for my power is greatest when you are weak.” I am most happy, then, to be proud of my weaknesses, in order to feel the protection of Christ's power over me. 

10 I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and difficulties for Christ's sake. For when I am weak, then I am strong.

Acknowledge grace.

19 He was then almost one hundred years old; but his faith did not weaken when he thought of his body, which was already practically dead, or of the fact that Sarah could not have children. 

20 His faith did not leave him, and he did not doubt God's promise; his faith filled him with power, and he gave praise to God.

Psalm 34:19 King James Version

John 1:5 King James Version

Obadiah 1:17 King James Version

You are a saviour from Zion, so cause change in your environment.

Run with the kingdom thinking and mindset.

Solve problems, don't run from them.

Let your light shine.

Gospel means

You are indebted to Christ because you are bought with the blood of Jesus Christ. Therefore, you have an obligation to do the will of Christ.

The one purpose of everyone believer is to preach the gospel.

Anything that takes you away from the good news is no longer the gospel.

Your lifestyle, as a believer, has to be about the gospel.

Every information you receive must be measured by the gospel of Christ.

Jesus is the power of the gospel.

The goal of the christian life is constant alignment with the will of God.

Every believer is sent out for the accomplishment of God's plans and purposes.

Because you are sent, you have a dual intricate relationship with God - son and servant.

We serve a profitable God, and because we do, we cannot be unprofitable servants.

You are a colabourer with God.

Hebrews 10:16-18 Good News Translation

16 “This is the covenant that I will make with them

17 And then he says, “I will not remember their sins and evil deeds any longer.” 

18 So when these have been forgiven, an offering to take away sins is no longer needed.

Jesus Christ came and created for us direct access to the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. This access is relationship with God.

Relationship is the bedrock for every goodwill. Relationship is a very strong currency. Employ it.

Don't live the OYO (On Your Own) type of life. Build relationships because relationship is the pathway to goodwill.

How to Build Relationships: Build relationships by getting interested in the things that affect people.

Visit people, check up on people, help people.

Build relationship not just because of what you want to gain, but also because it is expedient.

God used the currency of relationship to win us over to Himself.

Regardless of what you do, the pressure is on God to deliver. Whether you are faithful or not, God remains faithful. (2 Timothy 2:13)

God is obligated to deliver on His word.

God is not angry with you, He does not hate. He says, come as you are.

The most important thing you need as a believer is the consciousness of who you are.

The devil will always first attempt to attack your identity.

Whatever grace has provided, you claim by faith.

This is the third, and last, message in the series Victorious in Christ.

Your sins - past, present and future - are forgiven!

Christ, the High Priest, has given you freedom and liberty!

Hebrews 10:8-14,18-23 New King James Version

8 Previously saying, “Sacrifice and offering, burnt offerings, and offerings for sin You did not desire, nor had pleasure in them” (which are offered according to the law), 

9 then He said, “Behold, I have come to do Your will, O God.” He takes away the first that He may establish the second. 

10 By that will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

11 And every priest stands ministering daily and offering repeatedly the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins. 

12 But this Man, after He had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down at the right hand of God,

13 from that time waiting till His enemies are made His footstool.

14 For by one offering He has perfected forever those who are being sanctified.

18 Now where there is remission of these, there is no longer an offering for sin.

19 Therefore, brethren, having boldness to enter the Holiest by the blood of Jesus, 

20 by a new and living way which He consecrated for us, through the veil, that is, His flesh, 

21 and having a High Priest over the house of God,

22 let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water. 

23 Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful.

This is the second message in the series Victorious in Christ.

Matthew 28:18-19 King James Version

18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.

19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost

Colossians 2:13-17 King James Version

13 And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses;

14 Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;

15 And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.

16 Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days:

17 Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ.
