Influence
Who or what is your influence? What do you feed off? For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. 1 John 2:16. Seeing that you know this, be not influenced by the world. The Lord thou God have left His written word and his Holy Spirit to lead you. Let what is from heaven influence you. I am talking about the heaven that Christ Jesus sit in, whom is at the right hand of God. The world is flooded with influences such as social media, television, technology, and music. Even the conversations of others. None of this will stand in the end, only the word of God. (See Isaiah 40:8). If man do not know God through Jesus and filled with the Holy Spirit, he will perish. Who is your influence? We are in the world, but not of the world. When the storm comes and beat upon the house, will you stand? No! If your foundation is not Jesus Christ, you will fall to ruins. I am warning you to come from the influence of the world! The prince of the power of the air, satan influence the world. (See Ephesians 2:2). In whom the god (satan) of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the”light”of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them. 2 Corinthians 4:4. Let me be clear, satan is not the real god! I ask you again, who influence you? You have seen for yourself the danger of following the influence of the world. Pick up your cross “daily” and follow Christ Jesus.
