Grace for Today with Lawson Perdue | Lawson Perdue - Jesus Influencers (Part 2) | May 27, 2025

(cheerful music)
00:00:00.009 --> 00:00:03.279
- praise the lord, friend, and welcome to the broadcast.
00:00:04.413 --> 00:00:06.449
I'm so glad that you've tuned in.
00:00:06.449 --> 00:00:07.983
We're talking about being an influence
00:00:07.983 --> 00:00:10.219
For the lord jesus christ.
00:00:10.219 --> 00:00:11.887
And listen, we're gonna talk about two things
00:00:11.887 --> 00:00:14.657
In this broadcast that you don't want to miss.
00:00:14.657 --> 00:00:18.561
I believe both of these things
00:00:18.561 --> 00:00:20.996
Show your maturity as a believer,
00:00:20.996 --> 00:00:23.933
And they both lead to blessing in your life as a believer.
00:00:23.933 --> 00:00:28.537
We're gonna talk about the love walk,
00:00:28.537 --> 00:00:30.473
And we're gonna talk about keeping a godly attitude.
00:00:30.473 --> 00:00:34.743
(cheerful music)
00:00:34.743 --> 00:00:53.562
Friend, it's so good to have you here today,
00:00:54.463 --> 00:00:56.532
And i'm glad to have aaron.
00:00:56.532 --> 00:00:57.933
We're talking about being an example of believers,
00:00:57.933 --> 00:01:01.704
Being an influence for jesus.
00:01:01.704 --> 00:01:03.706
- amen.
00:01:03.706 --> 00:01:05.174
And all of us as believers have an impact on people,
00:01:05.174 --> 00:01:06.842
Have a big influence on certain people.
00:01:06.842 --> 00:01:08.410
- right.
00:01:08.410 --> 00:01:09.345
- you know, sometimes you think,
00:01:09.345 --> 00:01:11.013
You know, i'm not making that big of a difference.
00:01:11.013 --> 00:01:12.581
I don't have that big of a, you know, influence, you know,
00:01:12.581 --> 00:01:15.918
Maybe compared to other people who might be on television
00:01:15.918 --> 00:01:18.888
Or have a large crowd.
00:01:18.888 --> 00:01:20.089
But you're impacting people
00:01:20.089 --> 00:01:22.525
Where god has placed you in a big way.
00:01:23.325 --> 00:01:24.994
You have more of an impact over people
00:01:24.994 --> 00:01:26.829
That personally know you than maybe someone with,
00:01:26.829 --> 00:01:30.566
You know, a larger type influence.
00:01:30.566 --> 00:01:33.736
But you're impacting people
00:01:33.736 --> 00:01:35.271
Because they know you personally.
00:01:35.271 --> 00:01:36.839
- [lawson] amen.
00:01:36.839 --> 00:01:38.107
- and, you know, paul writes to timothy
00:01:38.107 --> 00:01:39.008
On how to make an impact.
00:01:39.008 --> 00:01:40.342
You know, timothy was a young pastor,
00:01:40.342 --> 00:01:42.311
And paul wanted to set him up to make a difference
00:01:42.311 --> 00:01:45.147
Where he was called to be.
00:01:45.147 --> 00:01:46.348
- amen. - and, you know,
00:01:46.348 --> 00:01:47.917
Timothy's kind of a neat person in scripture.
00:01:47.917 --> 00:01:49.952
You know, he was a gentile, but paul really raised him up
00:01:49.952 --> 00:01:54.056
To make a big difference in the kingdom
00:01:54.056 --> 00:01:55.824
And to really actually shift what people thought
00:01:55.824 --> 00:02:00.129
In the church at the time,
00:02:00.129 --> 00:02:01.630
Whereas all leaders had to be jewish or of jewish descent.
00:02:01.630 --> 00:02:04.500
But paul said, no, these people, god's using them too.
00:02:04.500 --> 00:02:07.102
He's doing something here.
00:02:07.102 --> 00:02:08.437
And so he was teaching timothy how to do it.
00:02:08.437 --> 00:02:10.406
So here in 1 timothy 4:12, he says,
00:02:10.406 --> 00:02:13.809
"let no one despise your youth."
00:02:13.809 --> 00:02:15.511
So timothy, you know, that might've been his excuse
00:02:15.511 --> 00:02:18.681
For not making a big difference.
00:02:18.681 --> 00:02:19.915
Well, i'm a young person, you know,
00:02:19.915 --> 00:02:21.917
And you might have an excuse too,
00:02:21.917 --> 00:02:23.419
Sometimes the enemy wants to place certain thoughts
00:02:23.419 --> 00:02:25.988
In your mind.
00:02:25.988 --> 00:02:26.922
Well, i can't make a difference
00:02:26.922 --> 00:02:27.890
Because i'm not smart enough.
00:02:27.890 --> 00:02:29.291
I'm not wealthy enough.
00:02:29.291 --> 00:02:30.626
I'm, you know, not around enough people.
00:02:30.626 --> 00:02:33.162
But don't let that hold you back from doing
00:02:34.063 --> 00:02:36.432
What god's called you to be
00:02:36.432 --> 00:02:37.700
From really shining your light big for jesus.
00:02:37.700 --> 00:02:39.268
So he says, don't let anyone despise you
00:02:39.268 --> 00:02:41.604
Because of whatever you think might be holding you back.
00:02:41.604 --> 00:02:44.940
If you're too old or too young.
00:02:44.940 --> 00:02:46.809
But he says, be an example to the believers in word.
00:02:46.809 --> 00:02:49.778
We talked about that yesterday,
00:02:49.778 --> 00:02:52.248
How the words you speak are so powerful.
00:02:52.248 --> 00:02:54.283
There is death, there's life in the words you speak.
00:02:54.283 --> 00:02:56.619
So you need to be example in the words you speak.
00:02:56.619 --> 00:02:59.755
Also in your conduct, your conversation, your behavior.
00:02:59.755 --> 00:03:03.225
Just how you act overall.
00:03:03.225 --> 00:03:06.495
What's the-
00:03:06.495 --> 00:03:07.630
- your lifestyle.
00:03:07.630 --> 00:03:08.964
- your lifestyle, just you living your life.
00:03:08.964 --> 00:03:11.700
- you know, the bible says, faith without works is dead.
00:03:11.700 --> 00:03:14.637
Being alone.
00:03:14.637 --> 00:03:15.904
And paul said, you might say you have faith,
00:03:15.904 --> 00:03:18.240
But he said, you know, tell me your faith by your words
00:03:18.240 --> 00:03:21.710
But i'm gonna show you my faith by how i live.
00:03:21.710 --> 00:03:25.080
And, you know, our lives speak to other people,
00:03:25.080 --> 00:03:27.816
Our faith speaks,
00:03:27.816 --> 00:03:29.451
And many times our faith speaks through our actions.
00:03:29.451 --> 00:03:32.621
But he goes on and says,
00:03:32.621 --> 00:03:33.956
"not only in word or in lifestyle, in behavior,
00:03:33.956 --> 00:03:37.760
But also in charity,"
00:03:37.760 --> 00:03:39.862
Which is talking about the god kind of love.
00:03:39.862 --> 00:03:42.598
- yeah, and the original greek word there is agape.
00:03:42.598 --> 00:03:45.401
- amen. - so we are to live out agape.
00:03:45.401 --> 00:03:47.803
We're to have that flow through us.
00:03:47.803 --> 00:03:49.271
So that means it's not just your own emotion,
00:03:49.271 --> 00:03:51.874
Your own just feelings, but it's god's love flowing in you
00:03:51.874 --> 00:03:56.111
And through you, that's gonna speak to people.
00:03:56.111 --> 00:03:58.981
- you know, god's love really is a mark
00:03:58.981 --> 00:04:01.116
Of christian maturity.
00:04:01.116 --> 00:04:02.751
You know, you talk about being a disciple.
00:04:03.619 --> 00:04:05.321
One thing that a disciple did
00:04:05.321 --> 00:04:07.122
Was they had to be a doer of the word, but a disciple,
00:04:07.122 --> 00:04:10.326
Jesus said, by this will all men know
00:04:10.326 --> 00:04:12.861
That you're my disciples because you love one another.
00:04:12.861 --> 00:04:17.266
And in colossians 3:14, the bible says, "put on charity,"
00:04:17.266 --> 00:04:22.604
Or the god kind of love this same thing,
00:04:23.472 --> 00:04:24.740
Which is the bond of maturity or perfectness.
00:04:24.740 --> 00:04:29.311
You know, you can't tell how mature someone is
00:04:30.245 --> 00:04:33.048
By how well they operate in the gifts of the holy spirit.
00:04:33.048 --> 00:04:36.618
But you can tell how mature they are,
00:04:36.618 --> 00:04:38.587
By how well they walk in love
00:04:38.587 --> 00:04:40.789
And through the fruit of the spirit operating.
00:04:40.789 --> 00:04:43.158
And love is really the first fruit
00:04:43.158 --> 00:04:45.861
Of the holy spirit in galatians 5:22, when it says,
00:04:45.861 --> 00:04:49.631
"the fruit of the spirit is love, joy, peace,
00:04:49.631 --> 00:04:52.034
Long suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
00:04:52.034 --> 00:04:54.236
Meekness and temperance."
00:04:54.236 --> 00:04:55.504
That's in galatians 5:22 and 23.
00:04:55.504 --> 00:04:57.873
There's nine fruit of the spirit,
00:04:57.873 --> 00:04:59.241
But all of the other eight fruit of the holy spirit
00:04:59.241 --> 00:05:02.644
Flow from the supernatural fruit of the love of god.
00:05:02.644 --> 00:05:06.582
Joy flows from love, peace flows from love,
00:05:06.582 --> 00:05:09.585
Faith flows from love.
00:05:09.585 --> 00:05:11.053
All these different things flow from the love of god.
00:05:11.053 --> 00:05:14.289
- and you really have to have a revelation
00:05:14.289 --> 00:05:15.724
Of how much god loves you, you know?
00:05:15.724 --> 00:05:17.626
A lot of people don't quite have that.
00:05:17.626 --> 00:05:19.928
They think god's upset at them,
00:05:19.928 --> 00:05:21.296
Or god causes these terrible things to happen.
00:05:21.296 --> 00:05:24.733
But that's a misrepresentation of god.
00:05:25.567 --> 00:05:27.236
You know, god is love,
00:05:27.236 --> 00:05:29.138
And a lot of people don't really understand what that means
00:05:29.138 --> 00:05:32.007
Or who god really is.
00:05:32.007 --> 00:05:33.375
- amen, you know, years ago i had a man come to me
00:05:33.375 --> 00:05:35.544
For prayer in a bible study.
00:05:35.544 --> 00:05:37.146
And this was in about 1988
00:05:37.146 --> 00:05:39.581
When we had just started the church in kit carson.
00:05:39.581 --> 00:05:42.518
And he said, "i want you to pray for me for healing."
00:05:42.518 --> 00:05:45.888
I said, "well, i'll pray with you if you'll believe
00:05:45.888 --> 00:05:48.457
That you're gonna be healed."
00:05:48.457 --> 00:05:49.691
And he said, "well, i just don't know
00:05:49.691 --> 00:05:51.260
Whether it's god's will, you know,
00:05:51.260 --> 00:05:52.895
And maybe god put this on me to teach me something."
00:05:52.895 --> 00:05:55.764
And i said, "listen, you're being crazy."
00:05:55.764 --> 00:05:58.333
And he had like three beautiful daughters at that time.
00:05:58.333 --> 00:06:01.203
And i said, "would you put sickness on your daughter
00:06:01.203 --> 00:06:04.173
To teach her something?
00:06:04.173 --> 00:06:05.741
Would you take a vial of aids and shoot it into her body?"
00:06:05.741 --> 00:06:08.544
"no, i'd never do that."
00:06:08.544 --> 00:06:09.878
And i said, "well then how can you accuse god
00:06:09.878 --> 00:06:12.080
Of putting sickness on you?"
00:06:12.080 --> 00:06:13.715
There's a lot of crazy stuff
00:06:13.715 --> 00:06:15.417
That's been passed off in the name of religion.
00:06:15.417 --> 00:06:18.787
And you know, this causes people really
00:06:18.787 --> 00:06:20.689
To turn away from god.
00:06:20.689 --> 00:06:22.324
- well, and this is a tactic of the enemy,
00:06:22.324 --> 00:06:24.526
Of the devil, really,
00:06:24.526 --> 00:06:25.928
And it's been a tactic since the garden of eden,
00:06:25.928 --> 00:06:28.597
Is to twist people's perception of who really god is,
00:06:28.597 --> 00:06:32.234
To twist their understanding, their knowledge of who god is.
00:06:32.234 --> 00:06:35.471
You know, adam and eve knew who god was.
00:06:35.471 --> 00:06:37.406
They walked with him, they talked with him.
00:06:37.406 --> 00:06:39.408
They lived in perfect abundance.
00:06:39.408 --> 00:06:40.943
Perfect, you know, just union with god.
00:06:40.943 --> 00:06:45.481
And yet the serpent came and deceived eve
00:06:45.481 --> 00:06:48.317
And then deceived adam, like, you know,
00:06:48.317 --> 00:06:51.887
Well, what do you lack?
00:06:52.387 --> 00:06:54.857
You know, the serpent like.
00:06:54.857 --> 00:06:56.458
And he said, well, we can have anything.
00:06:56.458 --> 00:06:58.460
We have all of this abundance,
00:06:58.460 --> 00:07:00.295
But this one thing we're not to touch,
00:07:00.295 --> 00:07:02.898
We're not to touch, you know, the tree of the knowledge,
00:07:02.898 --> 00:07:05.467
The tree with the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil.
00:07:05.467 --> 00:07:07.703
And the enemy said, well, god doesn't want you to do that
00:07:07.703 --> 00:07:11.840
Because then you'll be like him.
00:07:11.840 --> 00:07:13.742
And they were already like god.
00:07:13.742 --> 00:07:15.210
They were, you know, friends with god.
00:07:15.210 --> 00:07:17.746
They were close with god.
00:07:17.746 --> 00:07:19.348
They knew that they were created in his image.
00:07:19.348 --> 00:07:21.817
They didn't lack, but yet the enemy, you know,
00:07:21.817 --> 00:07:25.687
Said god's holding out.
00:07:25.687 --> 00:07:27.256
- right. that's what he still wants to do.
00:07:27.256 --> 00:07:29.324
- yeah, and he's still doing that today
00:07:29.324 --> 00:07:30.926
And he tries to twist, you know, who god really is.
00:07:30.926 --> 00:07:34.763
God really isn't love.
00:07:34.763 --> 00:07:36.465
- right. - you know, god is lack.
00:07:36.465 --> 00:07:38.934
But that's not who god is, god's not a god of lack.
00:07:38.934 --> 00:07:42.371
He's el shaddai, he's more than enough.
00:07:42.371 --> 00:07:44.573
- and he loves us and because he loves us,
00:07:44.573 --> 00:07:46.775
He wants the best for us.
00:07:46.775 --> 00:07:48.911
And, you know, but what does love look like?
00:07:48.911 --> 00:07:52.447
You know, i have that, what does the love of god look like?
00:07:52.447 --> 00:07:55.450
Because, you know, there are different greek words
00:07:55.450 --> 00:07:57.419
For love, right?
00:07:57.419 --> 00:07:58.820
There's this agape, the god kind of love,
00:07:58.820 --> 00:08:00.889
The highest kind of love.
00:08:00.889 --> 00:08:02.658
And then there's phileo friendship,
00:08:02.658 --> 00:08:05.460
Philadelphia, the city of brotherly love,
00:08:05.460 --> 00:08:07.396
You know, you're good to me, i'm good to you.
00:08:07.396 --> 00:08:09.565
And then there's storge, there's affection,
00:08:09.565 --> 00:08:11.567
Like for your family.
00:08:11.567 --> 00:08:13.035
They say blood's thicker and water.
00:08:13.035 --> 00:08:14.436
And then there's eros or physical love, sexual love,
00:08:14.436 --> 00:08:17.239
Like reserved for the marriage in a biblical sense.
00:08:17.239 --> 00:08:20.375
But, you know, what does the love of god look like?
00:08:20.375 --> 00:08:23.512
And we look at 1 corinthians 13,
00:08:23.512 --> 00:08:25.414
And it explains the love of god, and it says,
00:08:25.414 --> 00:08:28.584
Charity or the god kind of love, agape,
00:08:28.584 --> 00:08:31.119
Suffers long and is kind.
00:08:31.119 --> 00:08:33.288
In other words, you can be under, you know,
00:08:33.288 --> 00:08:35.757
Pressure from things, but still be kind.
00:08:35.757 --> 00:08:38.961
And it says, charity does not envy.
00:08:38.961 --> 00:08:41.663
You know, i know a lot of people in the body,
00:08:41.663 --> 00:08:44.499
People get jealous.
00:08:44.499 --> 00:08:46.501
And a lot of times we think that's only in the world,
00:08:46.501 --> 00:08:48.770
But i'd see it in the church a lot of times.
00:08:48.770 --> 00:08:51.440
And love does not puff itself up,
00:08:51.440 --> 00:08:54.509
It doesn't vaunt itself up.
00:08:54.509 --> 00:08:56.712
You know, it's not all about you.
00:08:56.712 --> 00:08:58.814
And he says, it's not puffed up, it does not behave rudely.
00:08:58.814 --> 00:09:03.485
Love is not rude. love doesn't seek its own way.
00:09:03.485 --> 00:09:07.556
Doesn't have to have, you know, my way or the highway.
00:09:07.556 --> 00:09:10.559
A lot of people kind of have that mentality.
00:09:10.559 --> 00:09:13.028
And it says, no love doesn't seek its own.
00:09:13.028 --> 00:09:15.464
It's not easily provoked.
00:09:15.464 --> 00:09:17.633
You know, if you're really operating the love of god,
00:09:17.633 --> 00:09:20.035
You know, you can provoke somebody
00:09:20.035 --> 00:09:21.937
That's operating in the love of god.
00:09:21.937 --> 00:09:23.372
There were a couple of times jesus got provoked.
00:09:23.372 --> 00:09:26.174
There were a couple times paul got provoked, you know,
00:09:26.174 --> 00:09:28.710
Like with this woman that was possessed by devils
00:09:28.710 --> 00:09:31.680
That was telling everybody, you know,
00:09:31.680 --> 00:09:33.615
Reading their palms, so on and so forth.
00:09:33.615 --> 00:09:35.651
And finally, after a period of time,
00:09:35.651 --> 00:09:37.519
After a long time, he cast the devil out of her.
00:09:37.519 --> 00:09:40.455
Then they got mad at him and threw him in jail
00:09:40.455 --> 00:09:42.691
Because the masters, you know, lost the hope of their game.
00:09:42.691 --> 00:09:45.927
But at the same point in time, jesus, i mean, took a whip
00:09:45.927 --> 00:09:49.731
And drove some money changers out of the temple
00:09:49.731 --> 00:09:52.100
Because their heart was wrong.
00:09:52.100 --> 00:09:54.569
But jesus as a whole didn't go around doing that.
00:09:54.569 --> 00:09:57.606
But anyway, he says, love is not easily provoked.
00:09:57.606 --> 00:10:01.076
It thinks no evil.
00:10:01.076 --> 00:10:02.411
Love always thinks the best of every person.
00:10:02.411 --> 00:10:05.580
This is what we call the love test.
00:10:05.580 --> 00:10:07.149
It says, it does not rejoice in iniquity
00:10:07.149 --> 00:10:09.851
Or sin or rebellion, but rejoices in the truth.
00:10:09.851 --> 00:10:13.622
I love the amplified of this in 1 corinthians 13,
00:10:13.622 --> 00:10:16.925
Love bears all things, believes all things,
00:10:16.925 --> 00:10:20.028
Hopes all things, endures all things.
00:10:20.028 --> 00:10:22.931
The love of god will hold up under anything.
00:10:22.931 --> 00:10:25.534
So get established in the love of god.
00:10:25.534 --> 00:10:28.336
Love always, you know, believes the best of every person.
00:10:28.336 --> 00:10:31.907
It hopes the best for every person.
00:10:31.907 --> 00:10:34.076
Love will endure everything. love never fails.
00:10:34.076 --> 00:10:37.813
Thank god, when you operate in the love of god,
00:10:37.813 --> 00:10:40.015
It's an enduring element.
00:10:40.015 --> 00:10:42.050
And so if you're a mature believer,
00:10:42.050 --> 00:10:43.585
You can tell how mature someone is,
00:10:43.585 --> 00:10:46.655
Not by how much they prophesy,
00:10:46.655 --> 00:10:48.557
Not by how much they operate in the gift of faith
00:10:48.557 --> 00:10:51.493
Or the working of miracles,
00:10:51.493 --> 00:10:52.894
But how well they walk the love life.
00:10:52.894 --> 00:10:54.696
- i have this to say about, you know, agape love
00:10:54.696 --> 00:10:57.966
And explaining it to people.
00:10:57.966 --> 00:11:00.168
You know, when my wife and i were explaining this
00:11:00.168 --> 00:11:01.837
To the youth, to the students there,
00:11:01.837 --> 00:11:04.372
There's a difference between god's kind of love
00:11:04.372 --> 00:11:06.308
And really the way the world operates.
00:11:06.308 --> 00:11:08.944
And god's love is very unconditional.
00:11:08.944 --> 00:11:11.580
You know, and the greatest ex expression of that
00:11:11.580 --> 00:11:14.182
Is that he sent jesus to die on the cross for us.
00:11:14.182 --> 00:11:16.752
He didn't deserve that, but he took our place and did that.
00:11:16.752 --> 00:11:20.355
And the bible talks a lot about how that same kind of love
00:11:21.490 --> 00:11:24.559
Is to to flow through us.
00:11:24.559 --> 00:11:26.194
You know, husbands are to love their wives
00:11:26.194 --> 00:11:28.430
Like jesus loved the church.
00:11:28.430 --> 00:11:29.798
That's unconditionally, that's sacrificially.
00:11:29.798 --> 00:11:32.968
And, you know, 1 corinthians 13 talks about love,
00:11:32.968 --> 00:11:35.604
You know, believing the best,
00:11:35.604 --> 00:11:36.872
Hoping the best in other people.
00:11:36.872 --> 00:11:38.807
And that's really the direct opposite
00:11:38.807 --> 00:11:41.009
Of looking for the worst in people.
00:11:41.009 --> 00:11:43.812
- yes. (chuckles) - for being critical.
00:11:43.812 --> 00:11:45.647
And something i've kind of realized in the church
00:11:45.647 --> 00:11:47.682
Is sometimes people in the church can be very critical
00:11:47.682 --> 00:11:49.651
Of other believers, you know, of people outside the church.
00:11:49.651 --> 00:11:52.754
But even within the church,
00:11:52.754 --> 00:11:53.789
They can be very critical people.
00:11:53.789 --> 00:11:55.924
- [lawson] right. i have to guard my own heart.
00:11:55.924 --> 00:11:57.692
- and we need to be looking for the best in other people
00:11:57.692 --> 00:12:00.862
And believing for the best in people.
00:12:00.862 --> 00:12:02.898
And, you know, not just giving people what they deserve,
00:12:02.898 --> 00:12:06.034
But going beyond that.
00:12:06.034 --> 00:12:07.602
You know, even people close to you,
00:12:07.602 --> 00:12:08.937
Even your spouse, even people in your family,
00:12:08.937 --> 00:12:11.940
Maybe your children, grandchildren,
00:12:11.940 --> 00:12:14.376
To really exemplify agape love,
00:12:15.010 --> 00:12:17.746
You're gonna have to go beyond what people deserve.
00:12:17.746 --> 00:12:20.282
- right.
00:12:20.282 --> 00:12:21.550
No, god didn't what give us what we deserve.
00:12:21.550 --> 00:12:23.685
If god gave us what we deserve,
00:12:23.685 --> 00:12:25.554
We'd all split hell wide open.
00:12:25.554 --> 00:12:28.390
You know, because there's no, we have all sinned.
00:12:29.391 --> 00:12:31.726
We have all come short of the glory of god.
00:12:31.726 --> 00:12:34.162
But god sent jesus to die for us while we were yet sinners.
00:12:34.162 --> 00:12:39.501
The scripture said christ died for us.
00:12:40.335 --> 00:12:42.437
And really, god and jesus are our greatest examples of love.
00:12:42.437 --> 00:12:47.876
And through the holy spirit in us we can walk in love.
00:12:48.977 --> 00:12:50.779
We're gonna be back in a short break,
00:12:50.779 --> 00:12:52.547
And we're gonna teach more on being examples of blessings.
00:12:52.547 --> 00:12:56.251

00:12:56.251 --> 00:12:57.986

(cheerful music)
00:13:24.946 --> 00:13:26.615
- you know what, when god tells you to do something,
00:13:26.615 --> 00:13:28.984
You need to do it.
00:13:28.984 --> 00:13:30.352
And you don't need to worry
00:13:30.352 --> 00:13:32.220
About every tom, dick and harry over here,
00:13:32.220 --> 00:13:34.422
And what they're gonna say,
00:13:34.422 --> 00:13:36.124
How they're gonna try to manipulate you or treat you.
00:13:36.124 --> 00:13:39.494
You just keep on plugging on
00:13:39.494 --> 00:13:41.162
And you keep doing what god told you to do,
00:13:41.162 --> 00:13:42.964
And he will work them out.
00:13:42.964 --> 00:13:45.033
You have to let god be god,
00:13:45.033 --> 00:13:46.568
And you have to do what he tells you to do.
00:13:46.568 --> 00:13:49.271
(cheerful music)
00:13:49.271 --> 00:13:53.975
- friends, i'm so glad you stayed with us.
00:13:54.876 --> 00:13:56.778
We're gonna continue to share on being an example
00:13:56.778 --> 00:14:00.382
Of believers, being a jesus influencer.
00:14:00.382 --> 00:14:04.185
Praise god, we wanna be a good influence on people's life.
00:14:04.185 --> 00:14:07.355
We want our lives to reflect jesus to people.
00:14:07.355 --> 00:14:11.860
- and, you know, paul is writing to timothy,
00:14:11.860 --> 00:14:13.261
This is from 1 timothy 4:12,
00:14:13.261 --> 00:14:16.631
How to be an example to other people.
00:14:16.631 --> 00:14:18.934
And really, we want people to look up to us,
00:14:18.934 --> 00:14:21.503
Not look down on us and despise us.
00:14:21.503 --> 00:14:23.305
We should be people that, you know,
00:14:23.305 --> 00:14:24.472
People can look up to you.
00:14:24.472 --> 00:14:26.074
So we talked about how to be an example in word,
00:14:26.074 --> 00:14:28.610
In conduct, and love.
00:14:28.610 --> 00:14:30.111
We're gonna talk about in spirit now, that next thing.
00:14:30.111 --> 00:14:33.214
And to me, to be an example in spirit
00:14:33.214 --> 00:14:35.417
That's really talking about your overall attitude,
00:14:35.417 --> 00:14:37.886
- right.
00:14:37.886 --> 00:14:38.820
- your overall outlook on life.
00:14:38.820 --> 00:14:40.622
You know, just your general, are you consistent with that?
00:14:41.790 --> 00:14:46.194
You know, some people are just very negative people
00:14:46.194 --> 00:14:48.863
And, you know, they always think
00:14:48.863 --> 00:14:50.165
It's just whatever situation they're in,
00:14:50.165 --> 00:14:51.633
But it doesn't matter, you know,
00:14:51.633 --> 00:14:53.601
Where they're at, what church they're in,
00:14:53.601 --> 00:14:55.704
What job they're in, what relationships they're in.
00:14:55.704 --> 00:14:59.541
Some people, they're not a very good example in spirit.
00:14:59.541 --> 00:15:03.778
And in spirit, that means like whatever situation,
00:15:03.778 --> 00:15:06.581
Whatever circumstance, whatever's around you,
00:15:06.581 --> 00:15:08.450
You're gonna shine in that area.
00:15:08.450 --> 00:15:11.186
- i'm a private pilot and i haven't flown for years,
00:15:11.186 --> 00:15:14.322
But when i was younger, i got my pilot's license.
00:15:14.322 --> 00:15:16.992
I had a plane for a while.
00:15:16.992 --> 00:15:18.426
But they say something in flying,
00:15:18.426 --> 00:15:20.161
And that's your attitude determines your altitude.
00:15:20.161 --> 00:15:23.565
So you put the nose up on a plane, right?
00:15:23.565 --> 00:15:25.867
It's gonna go up, you put the nose down, it's gonna go down.
00:15:25.867 --> 00:15:28.636
And it's kind of like that with believers.
00:15:28.636 --> 00:15:30.972
And if you wanna go up, if you wanna move forward,
00:15:30.972 --> 00:15:33.141
You need to keep a smile on your face
00:15:33.141 --> 00:15:34.809
And keep moving forward in life.
00:15:34.809 --> 00:15:37.512
Praise god, and this word spirit, like you said it,
00:15:37.512 --> 00:15:40.415
That's not talking about your, where christ lives,
00:15:40.415 --> 00:15:43.318
Your regenerated spirit,
00:15:43.318 --> 00:15:44.552
But that's talking about your attitude.
00:15:44.552 --> 00:15:46.988
And we need to keep the proper attitude.
00:15:46.988 --> 00:15:49.824
I love this verse, aaron,
00:15:49.824 --> 00:15:51.126
And this may be the wrong one to use.
00:15:51.126 --> 00:15:53.061
I don't know what all verses that you have,
00:15:53.061 --> 00:15:54.529
But ephesians 4:22,
00:15:54.529 --> 00:15:56.865
And this is talking about this thing called conduct.
00:15:56.865 --> 00:16:00.035
And right in the middle of it, in verse 24,
00:16:00.035 --> 00:16:02.504
Or verse 22 to 24,
00:16:02.504 --> 00:16:04.005
And what he's talking about is don't walk, don't live,
00:16:04.005 --> 00:16:08.043
Don't be like other gentiles in the futility
00:16:08.043 --> 00:16:11.246
And the emptiness of your mind.
00:16:11.246 --> 00:16:12.414
He says that in 17.
00:16:12.414 --> 00:16:14.616
But he goes on in verse 17, in ephesians 4:22, and says,
00:16:14.616 --> 00:16:18.453
Put off concerning the former lifestyle,
00:16:18.453 --> 00:16:21.589
This conversation, conduct that we were talking about.
00:16:21.589 --> 00:16:24.726
The old man, which is corrupt, according to deceitful lies.
00:16:24.726 --> 00:16:28.396
You know, you can't just trust your feelings or your body,
00:16:28.396 --> 00:16:31.499
You know, your five senses.
00:16:31.499 --> 00:16:33.201
He says this, "and be renewed in the spirit of your mind."
00:16:33.201 --> 00:16:36.604
That word spirit, again, is talking about the same thing
00:16:36.604 --> 00:16:40.608
That paul's talking about in 1 timothy 4.
00:16:40.608 --> 00:16:44.312
And he's like, you gotta, you know,
00:16:44.312 --> 00:16:46.314
Change your focus in life, in the spirit of your mind,
00:16:46.314 --> 00:16:50.485
In your general attitude about life.
00:16:50.485 --> 00:16:52.787
When you renew your mind in the word of god,
00:16:52.787 --> 00:16:55.356
And you begin to see who god really is
00:16:55.356 --> 00:16:57.659
And what god says about you
00:16:57.659 --> 00:16:59.260
And what god says about the world,
00:16:59.260 --> 00:17:01.062
You can't help but, you know, get a better attitude.
00:17:01.062 --> 00:17:04.566
And he says, be renewed in the spirit of your mind,
00:17:04.566 --> 00:17:06.968
And that you put on the new man.
00:17:06.968 --> 00:17:09.204
It's impossible for you to really put on jesus
00:17:09.204 --> 00:17:11.940
If you don't renew your mind with what the word of god says.
00:17:11.940 --> 00:17:15.910
And he says, "which is in the likeness of god,
00:17:15.910 --> 00:17:18.379
Created in righteousness and true holiness."
00:17:18.379 --> 00:17:21.616
And so we gotta guard our attitude.
00:17:21.616 --> 00:17:23.818
Or we're not gonna be demonstrating jesus to the world.
00:17:23.818 --> 00:17:28.423
And it's important that we demonstrate jesus,
00:17:28.423 --> 00:17:30.492
That we've lived that gospel.
00:17:30.492 --> 00:17:31.626
- this is something that you really
00:17:31.626 --> 00:17:33.528
Were very keen on with me and my brothers growing up,
00:17:34.629 --> 00:17:36.831
Was our attitude.
00:17:36.831 --> 00:17:38.133
And, you know, me and both my younger brothers
00:17:38.133 --> 00:17:40.502
Were all leaders, you know, leaders in what we're doing
00:17:40.502 --> 00:17:45.773
For a living, we're all leaders with our families,
00:17:46.808 --> 00:17:48.576
We're all leaders in our community.
00:17:48.576 --> 00:17:49.711
But i think one of the main things
00:17:49.711 --> 00:17:52.147
You really parented us on was our attitude, you know?
00:17:52.147 --> 00:17:56.184
And you have to have a good attitude
00:17:56.184 --> 00:17:57.785
No matter what you're doing.
00:17:57.785 --> 00:17:59.254
If you're doing chores or if you're going to church,
00:17:59.254 --> 00:18:01.723
Or if you're at school or whatever sport you're playing,
00:18:01.723 --> 00:18:04.025
Whatever, you have to have a good attitude across the board.
00:18:04.025 --> 00:18:08.163
It has to be consistent. - amen.
00:18:08.163 --> 00:18:10.365
My dad would tell me, you know, you better cheer up,
00:18:10.365 --> 00:18:14.335
You better get happy,
00:18:14.335 --> 00:18:15.703
Or i'll give you something to get happy about.
00:18:15.703 --> 00:18:17.605
- so that's something i'm fairly sensitive to as a father
00:18:17.605 --> 00:18:22.544
And as a, you know, youth pastor
00:18:22.544 --> 00:18:24.379
And, you know, pastor over the worship ministry,
00:18:24.379 --> 00:18:26.915
I'm pretty sensitive to attitudes.
00:18:26.915 --> 00:18:29.250
Because a bad attitude is very contagious,
00:18:29.250 --> 00:18:32.153
And if it's isolated that's one thing,
00:18:32.153 --> 00:18:34.722
But if it's spreading, it's another thing.
00:18:34.722 --> 00:18:37.258
You know, and i was actually reading through leviticus
00:18:37.258 --> 00:18:39.394
About the laws of leprosy,
00:18:39.394 --> 00:18:41.563
And god spoke to me about the laws of leprosy, you know?
00:18:41.563 --> 00:18:43.998
If there was someone with an open wound,
00:18:43.998 --> 00:18:47.635
They were to go to the priest,
00:18:47.635 --> 00:18:49.537
And the priest would examine it,
00:18:49.537 --> 00:18:50.872
And there would be a period of time
00:18:50.872 --> 00:18:52.807
Where that person went back home.
00:18:52.807 --> 00:18:54.676
And then after a period of time they came back
00:18:54.676 --> 00:18:56.778
And if it was getting worse,
00:18:56.778 --> 00:18:58.646
Then they'd be put outside the camp.
00:18:58.646 --> 00:19:00.982
But if it didn't get worse,
00:19:00.982 --> 00:19:02.617
If it stayed the same or got better,
00:19:02.617 --> 00:19:04.485
You know, they kept taking note of it.
00:19:04.485 --> 00:19:06.554
So, i take note of people's attitudes,
00:19:06.554 --> 00:19:09.023
And if it's getting worse
00:19:09.023 --> 00:19:10.191
And if it's spreading to other people,
00:19:10.191 --> 00:19:12.660
It's okay to put some distance between different people,
00:19:12.660 --> 00:19:16.231
And that's part of being a leader.
00:19:16.231 --> 00:19:18.800
You know, you can raise people up more
00:19:18.800 --> 00:19:21.636
That have the right attitudes,
00:19:21.636 --> 00:19:23.004
But if people consistently have a bad attitude
00:19:23.004 --> 00:19:25.039
And it's getting worse and worse and it's spreading,
00:19:25.039 --> 00:19:27.775
You know, you need to take note.
00:19:27.775 --> 00:19:29.944
Especially as a pastor, as a priest.
00:19:29.944 --> 00:19:33.948
But there also, there is a grace period,
00:19:33.948 --> 00:19:35.450
'cause people do go through things.
00:19:35.450 --> 00:19:37.218
They need to figure things out
00:19:37.218 --> 00:19:38.853
And sometimes that takes a period of time.
00:19:38.853 --> 00:19:40.888
And some people, you know, they might have a bad attitude,
00:19:40.888 --> 00:19:45.026
But they're able to repent of it,
00:19:45.026 --> 00:19:47.962
To turn around, to kind of figure things out.
00:19:47.962 --> 00:19:50.965
And you can kind of bring them, keep bringing them up,
00:19:50.965 --> 00:19:53.768
Keep giving them more influence.
00:19:53.768 --> 00:19:56.537
But if things are getting worse,
00:19:56.537 --> 00:19:58.306
You have to take note.
00:19:58.306 --> 00:19:59.507
You can't just let that thing spread.
00:19:59.507 --> 00:20:01.442
- no, no, you can't.
00:20:01.442 --> 00:20:02.977
And, you know, we have a world that just wants to ignore
00:20:02.977 --> 00:20:05.647
And leprosy's kind of sin, right, it's a type of sin.
00:20:05.647 --> 00:20:10.485
It's very contagious, it's deadly, so on and so forth.
00:20:10.485 --> 00:20:14.989
But you can't just let it run rampant or it'll destroy you.
00:20:16.190 --> 00:20:19.027
And a bad attitude will destroy you.
00:20:19.027 --> 00:20:21.796
And, you know, you and your brothers
00:20:21.796 --> 00:20:23.064
Are all very blessed in life.
00:20:23.064 --> 00:20:24.666
You're all prosperous, you have good families,
00:20:24.666 --> 00:20:28.102
Healthy families, healthy children,
00:20:28.102 --> 00:20:30.538
You're all connected in a local church.
00:20:30.538 --> 00:20:32.674
But there's a few things that have led to that.
00:20:32.674 --> 00:20:34.642
You know, one is, you know,
00:20:34.642 --> 00:20:37.312
Y'all have a good attitude that we're talking about.
00:20:38.346 --> 00:20:40.281
Y'all have a good work ethic.
00:20:40.281 --> 00:20:41.983
You're all givers, right?
00:20:41.983 --> 00:20:43.785
All of these different things are leading to wellbeing.
00:20:43.785 --> 00:20:50.058
- and if you have a bad attitude,
00:20:50.792 --> 00:20:52.093
It's actually gonna impact those things too.
00:20:52.093 --> 00:20:54.062
If you have a bad attitude at work,
00:20:54.062 --> 00:20:55.563
You're gonna do less work.
00:20:55.563 --> 00:20:57.298
If you have a bad attitude at church,
00:20:57.298 --> 00:20:58.733
You're gonna stop giving.
00:20:58.733 --> 00:21:00.101
If you have a bad attitude in your marriage,
00:21:00.101 --> 00:21:02.337
You're gonna stop giving.
00:21:02.337 --> 00:21:03.504
You're gonna become more selfish.
00:21:03.504 --> 00:21:04.872
So really, that spirit of a person, that attitude,
00:21:04.872 --> 00:21:08.676
That overall outlook of a person, it's huge.
00:21:08.676 --> 00:21:11.579
- right. - it's monumental.
00:21:11.579 --> 00:21:12.914
And, you know, a teaching i've done recently
00:21:12.914 --> 00:21:16.317
On the parable of talents is really related to this,
00:21:16.317 --> 00:21:19.854
About the, you know, the master who went away
00:21:19.854 --> 00:21:21.789
And he left five talents with one servant,
00:21:21.789 --> 00:21:24.559
Two talents, and then one talent with the last.
00:21:24.559 --> 00:21:27.328
And the first two, you know,
00:21:27.328 --> 00:21:28.629
Doubled what they had been given.
00:21:28.629 --> 00:21:30.998
And the master said, well done,
00:21:30.998 --> 00:21:32.533
Good and faithful servant entering the joy of the lord.
00:21:32.533 --> 00:21:35.203
But the last ones, you know, he-
00:21:35.203 --> 00:21:37.205
- he went and buried his talent.
00:21:37.205 --> 00:21:38.373
- he went and buried it, you know,
00:21:38.373 --> 00:21:40.208
And god's showing that person
00:21:40.208 --> 00:21:41.509
Who just buried what had been given to him,
00:21:41.509 --> 00:21:43.211
It's like someone having a victim mentality.
00:21:43.211 --> 00:21:45.646
- [lawson] right?
00:21:45.646 --> 00:21:47.181
- that mentality, it's your spirit, your attitude,
00:21:47.181 --> 00:21:49.884
Your overall outlook on life,
00:21:49.884 --> 00:21:51.352
And this person kind of said why they did that.
00:21:51.352 --> 00:21:55.056
And they said, you know, they were very pessimistic,
00:21:55.056 --> 00:21:59.327
They were blaming the master,
00:21:59.327 --> 00:22:00.762
They had the wrong picture of the master,
00:22:00.762 --> 00:22:02.397
And they were afraid.
00:22:02.397 --> 00:22:03.965
And, man, we really have to check our attitude
00:22:03.965 --> 00:22:08.669
On a daily basis. - right.
00:22:09.303 --> 00:22:11.005
And you're talking about how, you know,
00:22:11.005 --> 00:22:13.007
This works in the family.
00:22:13.007 --> 00:22:14.509
I know how it works in the church.
00:22:14.509 --> 00:22:15.943
I know it worked, you know, you and your brothers.
00:22:15.943 --> 00:22:18.212
One reason i believe that you're all blessed
00:22:18.212 --> 00:22:21.149
And you're all doing well financially and in different areas
00:22:21.149 --> 00:22:24.352
Is because you have a good attitude.
00:22:24.352 --> 00:22:26.587
But, you know, we taught you that, right?
00:22:26.587 --> 00:22:28.556
As children, you gotta keep the right attitude
00:22:28.556 --> 00:22:30.391
If you want to go where god wants you to go
00:22:30.391 --> 00:22:32.160
And do what god wants you to do.
00:22:32.160 --> 00:22:33.761
In this 2 corinthians 6,
00:22:33.761 --> 00:22:38.099
Paul is talking about not being unequally yolked
00:22:38.099 --> 00:22:41.369
With unbelievers.
00:22:41.369 --> 00:22:42.804
Right?
00:22:42.804 --> 00:22:44.172
But you can be unequally yoked in different areas.
00:22:44.172 --> 00:22:46.908
And he says, "what fellowship has righteousness
00:22:46.908 --> 00:22:49.544
With unrighteousness," this is 2 corinthians 6:14,
00:22:49.544 --> 00:22:52.680
And what communion,
00:22:52.680 --> 00:22:54.015
What common union has light with darkness
00:22:54.015 --> 00:22:57.084
Or christ with the devil
00:22:57.084 --> 00:22:58.352
Or he that believes with the infidel?
00:22:58.352 --> 00:22:59.821
But he goes on and says,
00:22:59.821 --> 00:23:01.622
What agreement has the temple of god with idols,
00:23:01.622 --> 00:23:05.326
For you're the temple of the living god.
00:23:05.326 --> 00:23:07.028
As god said, i will live in you and dwell in you,
00:23:07.028 --> 00:23:09.630
Walk in you, i'll be your god, and you'll be my people.
00:23:09.630 --> 00:23:13.501
Wherefore, he says, come out from among them,
00:23:13.501 --> 00:23:15.870
We can't have the same attitude as the world
00:23:15.870 --> 00:23:18.739
And think that we're gonna get different results
00:23:18.739 --> 00:23:20.741
Than the world.
00:23:20.741 --> 00:23:22.143
And so he says, come out, be separate.
00:23:22.143 --> 00:23:25.279
Don't touch the unclean thing, i will receive you,
00:23:25.279 --> 00:23:27.248
Be a father unto you, and you'll be my sons and daughters,
00:23:27.248 --> 00:23:30.751
Says the lord almighty.
00:23:30.751 --> 00:23:32.286
And that's verse 18, the very last verse of chapter six.
00:23:32.286 --> 00:23:35.523
But in chapter seven, he says this,
00:23:35.523 --> 00:23:37.959
"having therefore these promises, dearly beloved,
00:23:37.959 --> 00:23:40.828
Let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness
00:23:40.828 --> 00:23:44.932
Of the flesh and spirit."
00:23:44.932 --> 00:23:48.135
That word spirit is not talking about
00:23:48.135 --> 00:23:51.205
Your recreated, born again spirit.
00:23:51.205 --> 00:23:54.542
It's talking about your attitude.
00:23:54.542 --> 00:23:56.944
You know, if you get a bad attitude,
00:23:56.944 --> 00:23:59.013
It's gonna lead to bad things happening in your flesh
00:23:59.013 --> 00:24:02.216
And in your life.
00:24:02.216 --> 00:24:03.618
He says, perfecting holiness in the fear of god,
00:24:03.618 --> 00:24:08.189
You know, in a right relationship with god.
00:24:08.189 --> 00:24:10.057
So this attitude is really important
00:24:10.057 --> 00:24:12.760
If we're gonna live out the christ life.
00:24:12.760 --> 00:24:15.096
This attitude is really important
00:24:15.096 --> 00:24:17.064
If we're gonna lead other people to christ.
00:24:17.064 --> 00:24:19.467
This attitude is really important
00:24:19.467 --> 00:24:21.035
If we're gonna move up in life
00:24:21.035 --> 00:24:22.970
And go where god wants us to go
00:24:22.970 --> 00:24:24.505
And do what god wants us to do.
00:24:24.505 --> 00:24:26.841
And so, guard your heart.
00:24:26.841 --> 00:24:29.510
- a lot of this, really, one thing that that has helped me
00:24:29.510 --> 00:24:33.614
And realize what helps other people,
00:24:33.614 --> 00:24:35.082
Just keeping a good attitude, is just trusting god.
00:24:35.082 --> 00:24:37.985
- yeah. - even when things go wrong,
00:24:37.985 --> 00:24:39.554
Even when you're mistreated,
00:24:39.554 --> 00:24:40.888
Maybe in an important relationship at work.
00:24:40.888 --> 00:24:45.026
Whatever, when you just trust god,
00:24:45.026 --> 00:24:47.094
Hey, god's gonna make things right.
00:24:47.094 --> 00:24:48.829
He's gonna take care of me.
00:24:48.829 --> 00:24:50.531
- you know, have faith in god.
00:24:50.531 --> 00:24:52.667
And what's a spirit of faith, right?
00:24:52.667 --> 00:24:54.802
The bible talks about we then having the same
00:24:54.802 --> 00:24:57.071
Spirit of faith.
00:24:57.071 --> 00:24:58.339
- it's an attitude. - it's an attitude.
00:24:58.339 --> 00:24:59.607
Faith is a major attitude.
00:24:59.607 --> 00:25:01.275
And if you're trusting god,
00:25:01.275 --> 00:25:02.510
It's gonna be evident in your words.
00:25:02.510 --> 00:25:04.178
It's gonna be evident in your conduct.
00:25:04.178 --> 00:25:05.980
It's gonna be evident in your life.
00:25:05.980 --> 00:25:07.548
If you really have faith.
00:25:07.548 --> 00:25:09.183
You can't just walk around being sad all the time
00:25:09.183 --> 00:25:11.619
And depressed and looking at things negatively.
00:25:11.619 --> 00:25:14.021
You gotta begin to look-
00:25:14.021 --> 00:25:15.656
- that's awesome. - praise god.
00:25:15.656 --> 00:25:17.024
- you know, this is just part of a bigger teaching.
00:25:17.024 --> 00:25:19.961
So i just really encourage you to stay tuned
00:25:19.961 --> 00:25:22.363
For the rest of this teaching, because,
00:25:22.363 --> 00:25:24.432
You know, we're reading from 1 timothy 4:12
00:25:24.432 --> 00:25:27.501
But when we get to some of the next verses,
00:25:27.501 --> 00:25:29.170
It's really important. 'cause god actually here in scripture
00:25:29.170 --> 00:25:31.739
Tells you how to grow in these things, you know?
00:25:31.739 --> 00:25:33.574
All of us from time to time need a correction
00:25:33.574 --> 00:25:36.377
In some of these areas.
00:25:36.377 --> 00:25:37.612
We need a correction in our love walk.
00:25:37.612 --> 00:25:38.879
We need a correction in our attitude.
00:25:38.879 --> 00:25:41.749
- right.
00:25:41.749 --> 00:25:43.284
- but he really spells it out specifically how to do it.
00:25:43.284 --> 00:25:45.820
So we'll get into that later this week so stay tuned,
00:25:45.820 --> 00:25:49.490
