What's Your Influence?! + The PRAYER Of A Righteous Man ...!


Without Our Direct Aid
Whatever We Plant
- Good Or Bad -
 ... GROWS!


D. Influence Is An Itinerant Salesman
AND
He Is In His Well-Appointed Kitchen!
He Had Just Made And Wrapped
His Biggest Batch Of Can't-Eat-Just-One Cookies!
He Called Them Solomon's
Because Their Impact Is Huge
AND
They Always Sell Like Hot Cakes
Because, Well
They Are!

D. Influence Had Started Out Quite Small!
There Has Been No:

I Shall Do This!
I Shall Make That!
I Shall Be Rich!
I Shall Have A Following!
I Shall Plant A Seed!
OR
I Shall Reap A Harvest
That Keeps On Giving And Giving
For Now And For Eternity!

The Thought Never Entered His Mind!

BUT ...

One Day
- In An Instant -
He Did A Lil' Thing
AND
His Business
- If You Could Call It That -
Was Off And Galloping!

**--**--**--**

His Business Is A Runaway Success!

I Know That!

I Doubt That!

D. Influence Is Two-Faced!
A Chamelion!
A Dove!
A Devil!

Come Onnnn!!
He Can't Be All Things And One Thing!

But He Is!
Just Like Those Cookies He Sells!

Those Things Are Enormously ... !

... Good! ... Lethal!

STTTTOPP!!
Just Stop!
Let's Go!

Where Are We Going?!

To Buy Cookies!!

Noooo!! Not Me!

I've Got To Get To The Bottom Of This!

Okay!

We'll Walk With You
But We're Not Buying Anything!

Half An Hour Later ...

Alright!
Lay Them Out On The Platter!

What Flavors Did You Get!

I Asked For The Sampler!

Oh, Dear!
You Shouldn't Have Done Thaaat!

Too Late!
It's Done!

Your Funeral!

I Love You, Man!!
It Was Nice Knowing You!

On The Shiny Silver Salver
Was Gloriously Arrayed ...

  • Gloomy Selfishness
  • Sweetness 
  • Kindness
  • Unkindness
  • Words As Weapons
  • Gratitude 
  • Grace
  • Hate 
  • Greed
  • Love 
  • Blessing
  • Back-Stabbing 
  • Carrying Good News
  • Words Of Wisdom
  • Bad Attitude  
  • Faithfulness 
  • Overarching Lust
  • Liberty Is License
  • Dead Conscience
  • Self-Aggrandizement
  • Helping Hand 
  • Thief Of Time
  • Truth Be Told 
  • Careless Attitude
  • Inordinate Pride
  • Lying For Gold
  • Character Assassination 
  • Foolish Jesting
  • Arrogance 
  • Godlessness
  • Thoughtful Deeds
  • Petty Theft
  • Patience 
  • Goodness
  • False Accusation 
  • Hopelessness
  • Disobedience 
  • Idolatry
  • Prostitution Of Heavenly Gifts

Thus Far ...

It Is A Stunning Display
BUT
The Box Is Not Even Close To Being Empty!

There Was A Dreadful Silence In The Room ...

Then Common Sense Spoke Up!

Brethren,
I've Seen Enough!
There Is A Pattern Here!
D. Influence Is A Peddler
AND
He Has No Allegiance
To Any Human!
Do You Hear Me?!

I Fear For All Of Our Kind
Because
A Little Of D. Influence
Goes A Long Way
For
Every Word Spoken Or Written
- Carefully Or Carelessly -
Every Deed Done
- Good Or Bad -
Will
Into Eternity
Fruit Bear!

Words
Lead To Thoughts!
Thoughts
Lead To Actions
AND
Actions Acquire Traction
Because Of Unexpected Reactions
That We Put Into Motion!

Our Influence
Create Notions
Which Morph Into Motion
Which Lead To Commotion
Because Influence Has Locomotion!

What Starts With Us
NEVER EVER ENDS WITH US!

Influence 
Suffers From
Pebble Cast-Into-Water Syndrome!
Aka
The Ripple Effect Is Endless
Even Unto Eternity!

Your Good Influence
Can Lead Someone Their Soul's Salvation!
Your Bad Influence 
Can Lead Someone To Their Soul's Damnation!

Lord Jesus, Help Us!

He Does! 

He Will!

He Is Helping Us!
Do You Think That This Happening Today
Now
Is Coincidence?!

No!!!

We Are Aware Of The Problem ... Now!

And ... Now Is The Time For A Solution:


The PRAYER
Of
A Righteous Man Availeth Much:



Father, Most Faithful
We Boldly Come To Thee
Seeking After Your Help
For A Terrible Problem We Now See!


Our Words
Our Thoughts
Our Actions 
Have Influence
Impact
Just As In The Day Of 
The Wise Fool King Solomon
And We Desire Of You, Dear Father
The Wisdom
To See And Not Do
Hear And Not Say
Walk Among And Not Follow
The Bad Influence Peddlers
For Doing So Will Render Our Hearts
Empty 
Hollow
Perfect For The Residence Of Those
Who Would To Damn Our Very Souls!


Please, Lord
Fill Us With Your Holy Spirit
And
Teach Us Moment By Moment
In Every Way
Every Day
And
Bless Us To Be Influenced For Good

By The Holy Angels
So That There Is A Good Soul Harvest
For Your Rejoicing
On The Great And Terrible Day!


Remember Our Brethren
Wherever They Are
And
Provide For The Edification Of Each One
According As Their Need Shall Be!
Please Do All Things For Us
According To Your Will
For
In Jesus Christ's Holy Name
We Pray And Humbly Plead! 
AMEN. 


I Feel Like A Burden Has Been Lifted
Off My Shoulders!

You Know What?!
I Think You Are Right!

I Feel Lighter!

Thank God For Jesus!

Bad Influence 
Is
A Weapon!
Good Influence
Is
A Shield!
Satan
Is
The Bad Influence!
Jesus Christ
Is
The Only Sure Shield
So
For The Safety Of Your Soul
GET JESUS CHRIST  ...  TODAY!!
