Impartation & Influnce

Place like that.

I'm going to finish up with the series on impartation. Fried you do what you got to do a favor. Do me a favor and hold your hands out.

I want you to be with me Jesus. I invite you. To give me what I need. Holy Spirit rest on me Speak to me. Speak through me. encounter me I receive completely right now.

One thing I'm big on if you notice 15 or go out in public. I'm big on when I talk to people you when I preach if you've been around me did you I tell people if police. Don't show up. I ain't got nothing. Well, don't you have a lot of information? I ain't got nothing the police fear doesn't move. I don't have anything. But yeah, I can give you information book. So why? If Holy Spirit isn't moving on it. Yeah, that's how I feel buddy. Like I feel that way. seriously

this weekend. I got to this week. I got to speak at a funeral my cousin's boyfriend passed away. Until in the funeral room there was there was a lot of them. That's what I'm looking for.

There are people there in a lot of them didn't even know Jesus.

In the same thing I do at churches, but I do there and I said to hold your hands out. We're going to ask the Holy Spirit to come. Some of you are going to counter. For the first time. This is a funeral, right?

So so why not cuz I can do a sermon about the dude through past or I can give you the Gotti past 2.

I watched people hold their hands out.

I watched him encounter got Some of them came up to me afterwards and said, thank you. I didn't know I needed to hear this. I don't even plan on coming but because I came. Thank you.

A lot of the people there were of the lbgt group.

I got an opportunity.

Sure everything about the love of God. But more importantly to impart. the kingdom the presence of God that some of them felt for the first time and to hear the gospel. Without bashing and hatred but invitation to the king of glory.

Want to talk to you guys today about impartation and influence.

to recap what I've been sharing is this

importation is key for Unity. I mean you guys remember me telling you that before God sent the church into the world. He said wait until I impart the Holy Spirit on you wait for the spirit of Promise number to it's not something that is taught. A lot of times people try to teach impartation, but it's caught.

How do you teach married people to finish each other's sentences?

Play what are you doing? How did it happen?

They spend time with Jess and because they spend time together. They naturally started picking up each other's mannerisms. You guys ever noticed that they do some things that I say the number wife says and there's things that she said that now I said TV still.

Jess and not knowing is by experience. So that's it being caught and not talk number 2 number 3. It has to be received like you can choose not to receive it.

You can totally Tuesday. Nope. I don't want that. You would have I told you the truth is all the gifts in Christ. Jesus are activated in you through the Holy Spirit. But you said what is is God limited? Yes or no? Is Holy Spirit limited? Yes or no is Jesus limited? Yes, or no? He's only limited by you.

That's where you Limited at your thinking causes limitation and God allows himself to be limited by you. Now we understand the mercy and the patient and the long-suffering of God. That he would allow himself to be limited or us. Because he wants partnership he wants cooperation. So it has to be received that means someone has to yield. fourth note It is duplicated. Impartation is duplicated. What do you mean? Well check it out. play test blessings back in the Old Testament the Father would lay hands on the sun to pass a blessing down. Some within rather. He became old past the blessing down and this was the continual thing that would happen. So this is just importation because it's a key to bring Unity.

importation brings Unity influence versus the stains movements

We're talk about how influence burst and sustains movements. People who are influencing this world from their granny right now.

Do you know that?

Google American history, our constitution is written by dead man, right? Are we still? Are we still trying to be governed by that? I had to watch I was saying that yes. to certain extent

only to the extent that were willing to Jess not only that but there are there great theologians to have influenced Christianity and some of them we still quote in use.

One of my favorite monks has is actually his name is Father Lawrence you ever heard of them or brother Lawrence? I mean you guys heard of him? He did this thing called practicing the presence of God. If you it's a small little book to but some of the things you did in that book is so influential. So astounding that your man I'm going to try this. And it was a way for him to keep his mind on where of God at all times. influence writers who write books in their influence to you play my favorite. You know author size God is Akira Toriyama.

Yeah, she's not in your hood character. Yamez. Who is that Jason?

Yes, he made one of the most influential mangas Dragon Ball Z.

You think I'm joking but it actually influence you knew exactly what it was, but I carried you all my influence the writer of Naruto one piece bleach. These are all modern-day mangas and animes that get their inspiration from what he did that's called influence.

Influence verse in sustains movements until I want to share with you that God wants us to be influential. What to do with influence means it's a capacity to have an effect on the character development or behavior of someone or something or the effect itself.

Influence is the ability. Have an effect on the development of people's characters ideas. But was that the question was Jesus influential. Is this church? Wow, that went quick in this.

See what I'm saying? What happens is the reason why the church's and influential is because the way we're thinking about influence is to religion and not through a god Set.

true word Absolutely. Absolutely. The whistle get scripture. I want you to turn to Matthews the 5th chapter 18 verse 13 through 16. I'm going to teach today. Yay.

remember psalty the songbook Are you remember salty?

Do you know who that is? No salty. It was blue.

starts with a P

Yeah.

So if you're there and you're Bob was on what you guys just go out with Melissa. This is you are this is Jesus right after he got done doing the beatitude. You know, he just got done saying blessed are the poor in spirit. That's like one of the greatest sermons ever spoken. And so now you stare and he says you are the salt of the earth. But if the salt has lost its taste its strength, it's quality. How can it can its saltiness saltness be restored? It is good for nothing good for his it's good for any hold on. It's not good for anything any longer but to be thrown out Triton underfoot by men. Then he goes on.

You are the light of the world a city on a hill cannot be hid in nor do men light up a lamp and put it under a under a peck measure but on a lamp standing gives life to all in the house. Let your light so shine before men that they may see your moral excellence and your praiseworthy. No voy a good deed to recognize and honor and praise and glorify your father who is in heaven.

Let's go back to the first thing. He said that your salt.

So my question to us is like what is salt? What's a good for and how does it work?

Salt do Jack did you know back in the day all of their meat? They were layered and salt so it would last long a long time. What else is salt good for?

flavor bring it brings out flavored seasoning.

What else is salt dude?

Is he says he destroy his car? Is it does? What did you say?

Just they use it for really put it on wounds dude your put salt in the wound. Yeah.

It helps you not slide the other day. Yeah, we would have to melt things.

Jesse does it also allows your muscles to contract and move?

The phone has a purpose.

Son has a really powerful purpose. It does make you thirsty.

Just it is the real big part of her body. So who's thirsty? What's my volunteer reviews?

She going to do my volunteer. I'm joking just say you're not going to drink saltwater. I'm playing with you.

Oh my God.

Who does?

Dude, that's nasty.

That is nasty. Like that, that's not even funny. Do you know my tongue feels like right now? I'll get two regular why do you know what my tongue feels like?

It's almost like a burn.

But you know, the crazy thing about Saul is once his mixed into can't get it out.

Like how do you get the salt out of this water now? I mean you can probably if you don't boil the hell out of it, right?

I literally mean all the hell.

That's like what we need to do with like move some some people, right?

And how do we get it out of them? How about how do we boil them?

fire Okay. So you can literally, you know, you can take salt sea water boiling and then you can make your own sea salt. So anyway, you get this salt really out of this is that if we boiling evaporate all the water that's in it.

And we'll get salt back out of it. But until then it stays completely mixed in with the water. I wonder is that why Jesus said I didn't take you out of the world.

I said I wonder is that why Jesus said I'm not taking you out of the world. But you left us in the world.

to be influence anything is can you get for usual sitting on the shelf? Could you tell this to saltwater? Does it look like salt water? You wouldn't even be able to tell the difference.

until you tasted it religion would want you to put a label called saltwater on it dress the part be the part so you can look the part so that you can see that you are. difference

This was sitting on the shelf. You won't be able to tell until you opened it up. And you tasted it. Can you like hold on dude? This is not regular water.

The other thing God called This is life. I mean, what was the purpose of life?

It's pretty lies pretty braiding. Are you guys agree? Kind of we can make it brighter.

You Madness shining your face.

Right, if you did someone have license and registration, right? Why what's wrong with your eyes are shining your light right in my eyes. I can't see.

light Now I can tell you a little bit about laid that everything that you guys are sitting on his made of light. We're going to go that direction, but I will tell you is that the purpose of light? Is to bring a perspective and perception to things around you. Also, the purpose of life is to bring in produce life. Also the purpose of light. Is the start the process of photosynthesis which allows plants to make?

food Seafood simple food energy

That's why if you do how you ever give a hoot about seasonal depression. What is what is that exist? Does the song on Spotify right and we all get Sunset cried? Look, man, I can't wait for summer.

right But light is also for exposure.

Whatever It Shines on it exposes how many you ladies know what I'm talkin about you can put on a dress or an outfit you look in the mirror, you're like all the lighting in here is horrible.

Just know what I'm talking about or no. Maybe I'll talk to my guys guys who had who lived in bodybuild you guys know that in some way are muscles show up a lot better.

The world trying to flex in front of the mirror getting the light rail.

The Indians are showing its grave.

Because light brings exposure and the difference of light. Changes what level are soldiers can be seen.

Jesus said where the light of the world.

He says a city on the hill and we don't hide. But I wonder if the reason why we got it is because we hired and that we're not. Influential like we should be there because we had this big misconception of what kind of influence God is talking about.

to get another scripture This isn't Matthew 1333.

Jesus given a pair of all about the kingdom I love what he says and then he talked him another Parable Heavens Kingdom realm can be compared to yeast that a woman takes and blends into three measures of flour and then wait until the dough Rises.

What's a good about yeast? What's what's the purpose of yeast?

It does what? It makes something rise. What else is it? Do you like it if I wanted to make some wine? What would I need?

what I need

woohoo Graves need some type of fruit or something. We need some used to do. What is it used to do? What's the purpose of the yeast?

Fermentation. What does it do it needs to sugar and once the effects down what happens?

Multiplication I'll call you and Brad. What's the purpose?

Toots and the brat try to trace gases and it actually and because of gases are trapped in the dough. That's why you get the expansion like if it was in why if it was in Juice eats Joker. But in the day of the trip, the gases are trapped in the Dell.

and it would Easter sugar Yes, it does.

So Jesus said that hey we are Salt and Light and then he says his kingdom is like yeast.

So we can put this together.

The church was meant to be influential and all these areas as salt we are called enhance. You called to enhance think I saw it enhances things and Hanson slavers. The church is called to enhance. Whatever we touch.

As like we're called to stimulate the one thing about life does light actually stimulates our eyes so we can see it's actually the stimulus-stimulus stimulates us so that we can see correctly and yeast causes change.

But that was all this got to do with influence.

Part of it has to do with this as salt were called to enhance but a lot of times we're looking at enhancing through the lens of religion and not through the lens of the Kingdom.

A lot of times we looking at stimulating through religion, but not the length of the Kingdom. So my question is why would Jesus compare the king down to yeast?

lucidliving

but you know that the purpose of yeast and stuff like this is a serious thing yeast.

That's not the right do.

Now if I was a buck, that would be okay. But I'm not a buck.

do re me fa so

that's funny. That is hilarious.

I'm just going to laugh for a moment.

Does your buddy now?

It's there. What was the thing that stood out this dude? He wrote the wrong.

Sorry.

What you say?

It does bring up an image of me.

And go here. There we go. how to change the slide

But this has to be activated. What you say? Yes.

Yes.

Yeah.

Yes. Thank you. And this is no good if it's in the package.

If it stays in the package yeast is no good. It's only useful for when it's ripped out of the package and put to use.

Influence all these things that Jesus gave us salt light and you you're very influential things. We get salt water was horrible, but you know you ever had someone over salt food on accident. You ever did that it's bad. You're biting you like, okay, but real story one day. I told my son Jack's out-of-season me. So I'm working out at the gym trying to be avoiding. He Seasons meet men. She's like first I did you season it first Marion seasoning first and things like Mommy you didn't season that right? You like Daddy taught me how to season meat and if you can still see that chicken color. It's not seasoned rice.

Like he caught something.

and he's right then extend my dude you want to make sure it's all yeah.

So he used a seasoning that had a lot of salt. And he put it all on that chicken and he was so happy Daddy. I made you take a chicken. So I come home with over.

No, honey. He said you told him to do that.

It was so salty. I can eat it.

It was bad.

But the thought of him cooking my chicken was awesome. I mean, that's really good.

We only sold and it was it wasn't good then so the same is true. Listen guys. The same is true.

Sometimes we're trying. too hard to be salt and to be light. without understanding What Jesus meant when he said I want you to be influential?

A lot of times in my life. I don't try to be a Christian. I don't try to evangelize. I don't try to prophesy. I don't make it in. I'm just going about my day doing what I do and then who got got moments.

There is no choice. You're right Randy. There's a choice that you'll too. In the moment. But I'm really focused on. Allowing God to influence me scripture says those who are led by the spirit of God are the sons of God. Let's say this week those who are influenced by God. AR sons of God

Yeah way too much.

We try to influence people by overbearing them with me. Talk to you guys straight influence people with dark Christian religion.

Well, I want you to be Heavenly minded. I don't want nothing. That's great. But if you are just man, could you imagine me and someone who don't have a great for scripture? And the first thing you want to do is quote scripture at them. You guys know what I'm talking about? You're looking good looking at you. Like hi. My name is Tim. Hey, Tim.

Hey Tim. Guess what? What 2nd John 3:7 says and they're looking at you and you're going for the wages of sin is death for the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ, and they're looking at you like

What the heck is that have to do with me?

Yeah, you get this Sim over there because sometimes we're trying to be influential but I don't think you'll be up. So you learned how?

Not at all.

Yes, or we focus on the change. There's no love we don't care about the person is no change. Do you understand light stimulation and and salt enhances another word for enhanced as we can use the word courage? Do you ever encourage someone what happens?

They feel better. I don't want you to feel better to go to hell. That's not what I'm here for. Tell Matt not on that metal unlikely specify you right into the pit. No.

But there has to be a time where we learn how to enhance what God is already doing with them. Answer the question is how do you do that? And how do you become influential? Well, if you received the spirit of God, how does God do it with you?

What is the first thing that God does with you?

love

He loves us first love joy. Peace. What's the first thing that God did when you got born again when you came to the kingdom. Did you feel like you were a wretched person? Who did God says this is my son. Which one you got? What what else? What else did you feel? Free love life. Come on, man. What else you felt accepted?

Let me tell you something. You want to learn how to influence you. Learn how to accept people right where they're at right and not try to change them.

Hold on. Try to change them.

See when your influential it's not about changing then that just comes with the package.

Come on that comes with the package tell you something. comes with the package

Thank you. It does because you're so focused on trying to get them to do what you want them to do that you lost influence that you're trying to control what they think and see instead of stimulating. Life is what you need light stimulating them. You had a really good conversation with someone you left like mad to think about you were stimulated.

Do you know that happens in God's kingdom where they can become stimulated?

Got one. I got a hole in my sock.

Dude, it's holy. But it does say super saiyan some pretty cool.

Jesse is but you realize that it's not about controlling them. Is it more is it about stimulating and revealing and enhancing so that they can see cuz like all these YouTube see it causes you things to become stimulated so you can perceive things the correct way but as long as we're trying to manipulate control and change you can't do that in what happens is let me tell you the reason why we do that out there is because that's what they do in here.

Let me do that one again. The reason why we do that out there is because that's the way the church operates from within. Let's let's talk about it. Let's talk about it. See, this is a lot of time. We want to be like when did I tell you that could be installed? When did he tell you to quit being life? And what did he when did he tell you to quit being like he's when did he quit telling you to infect one another? It's just for one another on to that worse. Doesn't it? Encourage one another see each other in songs that have right? It says those things for a reason so that we don't get to a place. I was trying to be the holy spirit for someone. Who cleans you? But when you got burned again, did you clean yourself Frank? Could you imagine what you're the weirdest thing for a Christian to think there are cat.

got absolutely, but you know the cats do

it's like dude stop the drive to get free. It just makes me more yucky.

Yeah.

Absolutely.

So how do we begin to walk in a place of influence not only with you outside the church the inside with each other?

If you didn't even bark Tatian brings Unity, then what we need is a movement for United then we need to start moving. So we need influence.

And in the word and knowing him in relationship.

I agree. It's so so we're we're on point that it starts hearing the Heart Is God influencing your heart. Yes or no?

How does God influence your heart?

This is the word. Who says his presence? Who Says by communing with them Who says all of the above?

Then how come there's people who does the kid have the word but no don't have a connection and I'll come if you would be so loopy in the sphere, but they have no depth of Worth to them.

What is a you said your connection to love from the Lord was severed a long time ago, so you didn't know it. Let me tell you this. the influence of God starts in a place of love

8 days in a place of love if you move it out of a place of love you're going into something else.

Let me taste again. It starts in the place of love, right and how many you know that you came in the Christ because he loves you. So it starts in love. Where does it go? It shouldn't go anywhere, but we get bored and we move it to other stuff.

Absolutely me many many people and it's because of life situations heartaches is stuff. We try to gain God's affection.

Instead of receiving it and knowing that I have it because God's going with us. God wants to be so influential that God isn't trying to control you and he's not. Let me sit at the beginning. He limits himself being within you. But God has be really big plans and dreams for each one of us, but he limits himself by living in us to see if we're going to yield to get those things done.

And how come you just didn't force it?

Cuz Force love is rape.

Cuz Force love is rape.

I'm say that one again.

Cuz Force love is rape. nothing

So God waits for our cooperation. So he wants to know what he does is wants to influence us. So he gives us his word that it can be influential to our mind. Right. That's the reason why we have his word. It says be not conformed to this world. But what? by the w So what are you saying is in order for you? Not the same thing according to the way the world thinks is that you have to be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Because when your mind is renewed you become more. You did to the influence of the spirit of God.

I'm going to see something in you guys might feel upset with me, but I'm saying anyway.

If you struggle sensing God, how renewed is your mind?

What that said if you struggle sensing being aware.

How are annuities your mind?

Dude, I talked to a dude earlier this week. He's like video games.

I don't know why you telling me like that the achievement you didn't unlock a secret code of life, but she could have like 5 hours of video games. And I love the dude and I said I said bro. I want you to sell your stuff.

No. I think you need to sell it. How's your relationship with Papa? I don't know. I don't think he likes me.

How's your relationship with the video game?

he's like I think he doesn't like me. Could it be the reason why because you believe God doesn't like you is why you invest all your time in the video game? Because at least that's something that makes you feel good, but you don't even understand God actually loves you. And if you would realize that how much time would you actually commit to him vs. Commit to this game?

And he was like I said, bro, if you give me 6 months with you like that your whole world changes. He's like But then where would I be maybe a Jesus Freak?

what it's really like I love this dude, and we chatted we just

he's like what's up? You don't understand. I got an Xbox or computer gaming system. He liked me five things systems. It looks like do not like games trust me. You can ask my wife. The guy was really good at Call of Duty 10, sweetie. I was really good and not be ineffective to.

afraid of change

Yeah.

Absolutely. What if I tell you influence and identity go hand-in-hand?

See when you know you are you become very influential. Justin that statement knowing who you are you dude you go hun, right? You still go honey. I still got your gun.

Hey, I haven't been hanging up for a while. So you had it last time ago. It's fine.

anyways You'll get around someone who likes hunting. There's a guy who likes fishing.

JoJo likes fishing. What's the biggest fish you ever caught?

Yeah. What kind of fish was it?

Those are good fried. You had a fight with me. You never had a fight with hot sauce. Yeah, you got to step out of your step out of your culture for a little bit. You got to step out of your culture for a little bit man. Come over to my call to really get you on some hot sauce from Catfish police boys, man. Beautifully I'm telling you man, you know what? I mean, right RJ? Yeah, he was just thinking of a fried fish hot sauce.

But you get around people who like certain things they talk about it to a point where it causes awareness to you. Like I remember when I married my wife and made my wife and her family.

Who married the family? All right, so, you know, I got really intrigued in the family today. They were Hunters right I never went on before in my life. And guess what I ended up doing. Give me a tree stand for a tree stand.

So there we go. Stop it through the woods I me I was all over.

You think they literally influence me to go hunting without even have to take him like you can I go hunting with you?

grocery store

It's not the same. The same as once you get Buck Fever, it's over. once you get Buck Fever

Dylan

nomad

they're excited about it, and it's turned me to be excited and Do you know about the woods and then after that I'm in my tree stand in the cold shivery before it dawned on me. I don't like this.

My feet got cold and I was like and that was the end of my hunting in the tree stand.

the influence me we are cold as God's people to be influence, but a lot of times we only think the biggest influence hear me out is coming to church on a Sunday and preaching you can be better influence where you're at in your life on your job.

Got talked about yeast being the kingdom. He's really saying listen, man. The truth is where you're at with your place of work your place a fellowship where you're going to get coffee at where you go to your gas tank.

Let me influence dude, you guys like. I just met a guy who trained service dogs. He's also a wrestling coach. He's on my fishing line. I'm slowly just doing this week, then. We'll see how it goes.

It's really cool that he was in the military.

Will you call the info so matter where you work at and a lot of times we think the biggest place of influence is on a Sunday hearing preaching but it's actually you living your life and being a part of the body and whatever you have a passion for you begin to be salt. What does it look like if you saw that your job does it mean hey, I'm salt guys. I'm going to preach at you or does it mean that I'm here to enhance you guys I'm going to do a good job. Let me some Rush show up. I'm going to work hard because I'm working until the Lord not unto man. Oh my goodness. Did they start looking at you? Cuz you carry a spirit of Excellence. I wonder if this sounds a little bit like Joseph. Why is it that Joseph got elevated in the end in Egypt?

influence he was influential Joseph was when he worked for potiphar. He didn't unto the Lord powers are going to make you the head of my servants. He became the head of the servant. He didn't go around saying hey, I need a bow down to the god of Israel. Did he? Come on talk to me man. Did he do it? Yes or no. Now we're by his life and conduct they knew something was different about this Joey dude. The next thing you know, he's doing well. It's probably why season your hot he is up in prison. He's in prison and he's not he's not sitting here going. Well. I'm free soak for a while cuz I suck man. Look, I'm just going to be real that would suck. Remember what you got over that is so he was totally like dude. I'm going to work until the Lord and you came on the leaders in the prison. To the point where people had dreams and all of a sudden his gift made room for him. How do you just make room?

by focusing on being present with God in the moment. He was at no matter how it looked on the outside.

And they ended up getting dreams interpreted and next thing, you know Farrell has a dream and they're like food who can we get to interpret this dream? There's a guy in the prison who has influence in a gift. And his gift touched us. So now we remember him. And the next thing you know, Joseph is a interpreting the dream in Pharaoh's house and become second-in-command in Egypt. God wants us to have influence but sometimes the reason why we lack it is because we're still focused on trying to get people to change.

We want to change people. And we really want to change people so they're better for us. Let's be real mad.

Husbands the worst thing you can do is try to change your wife.

I'm telling you guys that the worst thing you could do is try to change your wife. Your wife wants to be influenced by you. You might want to be so listen. I'm going to teach you a secret. Only got like 12 years in the game though. I'm 12 years and I will teach you a secret.

so my wife

She can be a tough cookie. Believe it or not. Timmy Tucker to meet you guys think I'm joking. I'm like a teddy bear.

at the lion and not from The Wizard of Oz we talked about lions from Simba's Pride.

and you know Siri was me not preaching at her. Do you know that cuz I got made us a cake sweetie. I mean the word the word says.

Come out in Jesus name.

Didn't work either.

If you would tell me I watch what you do and what you say. Okay. What you doing? What you say? So when I play my video games and I didn't do. Didn't matter what I said.

So damn smart it right smarter work smarter not. Working harder is like fine. I'm going to appreciate you some more. Smart is like I know what I'm going to do. I'm just going to go and get some food around you and through then you're going to have to worry about the fruit. Just trying to just loving her when she was at. Not the change her. Encouraging where she was at encouraging her gifts in her life right here mean.

Do I go listen to change her not to go to I want to walk an influence with God, which means I want to love her right where she's at and imma let God influencer.

Passwords and use my wife's like really dangerous though. Like she she's a lion is still but she's like super prophetic she drink stuff that she don't share with people. He he he he's really accurate.

really accurate

and so I'm watching how God has taught me not to change my love where she's at and watched her grow to work. Don't tell anyone. I think she's outgrowing me.

That's a good thing. I don't you know. She said yes, she's outgrowing me dude and areas and I'm really noticing it and I'm like, I'm like do you want secure? Yeah, that's what she's doing right now. And she's totally like, honey.

whistle for millier

cuz influence that she's influencing me. I told you sweetie, you know your influence me right? I see how you change the way I thought about this. It all came because not trying to change people but just being influence and be there for them. The greatest gift that you can have for your children isn't control we're going to talk about this next week. It isn't control it isn't. Just telling it what to say. It is actually carrying something called generational influence.

The reason why we use fear to control because it can do for havior modification.

Churches are really good at doing that. fear control behavior modification Come on, man. I want to be honest with you guys or not. Control and control and control you to modify your behavior to why you're in my presence you behave.

But the minute you walked out of the room. Thank God he's gone. Come on, and you go right back into it? Generational influence is one of the greatest gifts. God gives parents the gift of influence and you can't buy it. It has to be earned. And it has to be earned and it is hard to earn it. Easy to lose it.

She's easy for pastors and coming preaching.

And you know, don't you? Karen control Woodmont

I wonder what happens if the church loses its fear of hell.

I wonder what really would happen if the church would lose its fear of hell.

They must be real like dude. I've been around many people many Christian and most people are behaving so they don't go to hell. We are doing this so we don't go there and what in the world does that have to do with relationship and wonder what does it have to do with loving God and what it's all about your Eternal mine eternal reward when it suck just be real if your dad happen and then all of a sudden you stand before God.

Eternal reward. I never knew you but you were so focused on modify behavior and destinations that you forsook relationship with me. I behaved like that all these right things. I prophesied I heal the sick. I didn't know what's wrong with you gone. I never knew you.

What is have to do with generational influence?

everything if you can learn to allow God to influence you no matter where you're at how you look what you're going through. God loves you the same in on your best thing as your worst day. And he says carry me with you even in that and allow me to still influence you he rather have you struggle along and him being with you the whole way then you put on behavior modification and get through it and never know him. Parents. Come on, man. I got four boys. Do not pour those dudes. I got four little minis to raise to be better than me.

And the only way that's going to happen is if If I am actually willing not to control them, but the influence them. And that takes hard work to control I can use my dad voice if you don't so help me God and everything on Earth.

And I can use that to put fear in them. So they listen and behave and modify their behavior to my liking.

come on, man, but then I lose dinner like

Walking on eggshells around me. Are you tired of walking on eggshells around God?

How did how about we get into a relationship with them where it's not that where it's actually he knows all my weaknesses is he loves me the same and one day I'm not going to deal with some of these weaknesses cuz he's not going to leave me the way you found me cuz you love me that much. So with my boys I'm sitting here like hey son. The reason why daddy can't ask you why they don't get why. cuz I said so that's

Come on, man. That's the old way of doing things in new ways a different way. The only was a long the letter the new ways in Christ the new way actually tells you why you always just don't do it your dad.

And even God said that way was it was good for the season but it wasn't the right way. It wasn't it wasn't a way to change their heart because in that way they can do the right things with their hearts were far from me and they modified their behavior, but it wasn't really a hard connection.
