God has given us all the amazing gifts of Grace & Influence. Pastor Clark speaks on our need to step into our God-given influence in Week 3 of 30 Days to Live.

Speaker: Clark Mitchell

Date: November 17, 2013

Matthew 5:16 (CEV) 
	"Make your light shine, so that others will see the good that you do and will praise your Father in heaven."

	Matthew 5:13 (GNT) 
	"You are like salt for the whole human race."

	Jeremiah 15:19 (NLT) 
	"...You must influence them; do not let them influence you!"

	HOW TO LIVE AN INFLUENTIAL LIFE

	I. RECOGNIZE MY INFLUENCE.

	Galatians 6:4a (MSG) 
	"Make a careful exploration of who you are and the work you have been given, and then sink yourself into that."

	Exodus 4:2-3a (NIV) 
	"Then the LORD said to him, 'What is that in your hand?' 'A staff,' he replied. The LORD said, 'Throw it on the ground.'"

	 

	II. EXERCISE MY INFLUENCE.

	1. By smiling

	Proverbs 15:30 (NLT) 
	"A cheerful look brings joy to the heart..."

	2. By sympathizing

	 

	2 Corinthians 1:4 (NCV) 
	"[God] comforts us ... so when others have trouble, we can comfort them with the same comfort God gives us."

	3. By serving

	1 Corinthians 9:19 (MSG) 
	"Even though I am free of the ... expectations of everyone, I have voluntarily become a servant to any and all in order to reach a wide range of people."

	4. By speaking up

	Psalm 107:2 (KJV) 
	"Let the redeemed of the Lord say so ..."

	Proverbs 31:8-9 (TEV) 
	“Speak up for people who cannot speak for themselves. Protect the rights of all who are helpless. Speak for them and... protect the rights of the poor and needy.”

	4. By sacrificing

	Hebrews 9:14 (CEV) 
	"But Christ was sinless, and he offered himself as an eternal and spiritual sacrifice to God. That’s why his blood is much more powerful and makes our consciences clear. Now we can serve the living God and no longer do things that lead to death."

	Philippians 2:17 (GW) 
	"Paul: 'My life is being poured out as part of the sacrifice and service I offer to God for your faith. Yet, I am filled with joy...'

	Hebrews 13:16 (GW) 
	"Don’t forget to do good things for others and to share what you have with them. These are the kinds of sacrifices that please God."

	III. MAXIMIZE MY INFLUENCE.

	Ephesians 5:16 (NLT) 
	"Make the most of every opportunity for doing good in these evil days."

	Colossians 4:5 (LB) 
	"Make the most of your chances to tell others the Good News. Be wise in all your contacts with them."

	2 Corinthians 10:13-16 (ESV) 
	"...the area of influence God assigned to us is to reach you. (Now) our hope is that as your faith increases, our area of influence may be greatly enlarged, so that we may preach the gospel in lands beyond you."

	Philippians 1:21 (LB) 
	"For to me, living means opportunities for Christ, and dying—well, that’s better yet!"
