 Genesis 1:28 “And God blessed them. And God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it, and have dominion”    Colonize the earth!
Adam didn’t lose a religion, he lost his place as ruler.

Numbers 14:21 “But as truly as I live, all the earth shall be filled with the glory of the LORD.”
Habakkuk 2:14  “For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea.”

Matthew 4:17  “From that time Jesus began to preach and to say, ‘Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.’”
Repent:—(metanoeō) to think differently or afterwards, compound word: after and thought

OLD COVENANT … Repent God will bless you!
NEW COVENANT …  God Has BLESSED You … REPENT … Align yourself with the good news!!!

Matthew 12:32  “Do not fear, little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom.”
Align yourself with these truths: You are Forgiven You are Healed   You are Free

Two ways to influence people:
voluntarily or involuntarily  —  consciously or unconsciously
One is the product of exertion. One is the product of existence.

Matthew 9:35-36 “Then Jesus went … teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people. But when He saw the multitudes, He was moved with compassion  for them,…” 

1 Corithians 9:19,22   “For though I am free from all men, I have made myself a servant to all, that I might win the more; …I have become all things to all men, that I might by all means save some.”  

Matthew 28:18-20 (NLT)  “I have been given all authority in heaven and on earth. Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end
of the age.”

Romans 10:13-15 NLT “‘Everyone who calls on the name of the LORD will be saved.’ But how can they call on him to save them unless they believe in him? And how can they believe in him if they have never heard about him? And how can they hear about him unless someone tells them? And how will anyone go and tell them without being sent? That is why the Scriptures say, “How beautiful are the feet of messengers who bring good news!””

Acts 8:5-6 NLT “Philip, for example, went to the city of Samaria and told the people there about the (Jesus) Messiah. Crowds listened intently to Philip because they were eager to hear his message and see the miraculous signs he did.”

Acts 8:12 NLT  “But now the people believed Philip’s message of Good News concerning the Kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ. As a result, many men and women were baptized.”  

Acts 8:26-40
“26 As for Philip, an angel of the Lord said to him, “Go south (PACK UP LEAVE THE REVIVAL TO ME — NEW ASSIGNMENT) down the desert road that runs from Jerusalem to Gaza.”
27 So he started out, and he met the treasurer of Ethiopia, a eunuch of great authority under the Kandake,(ROYAL TITLE WARRIOR QUEEN OF CUSH — MET ALEXANDER THE GREAT ON A WAR ELEPHANT — HE WENT THE OTHER WAY) he queen of Ethiopia. (LOOK AT THE LENGTHS GOD WILL GO TO SO THST HE CAN REACH ONE HUNGRY HEART)
The eunuch had gone to Jerusalem to worship, (He was a seeker … been to church … bought the holy book … Still missing something)
28 and he was now returning. Seated in his carriage, he was reading aloud from the book of the prophet Isaiah.
29 The Holy Spirit said to Philip, “Go over and walk along beside the carriage.”
30 Philip ran over and heard the man reading from the prophet Isaiah. Philip asked, “Do you understand what you are reading?”
31 The man replied, “How can I, unless someone instructs me?” And he urged Philip to come up into the carriage and sit with him.   (Come Journey with me…)
32 The passage of Scripture he had been reading was this:
“He was led like a sheep to the slaughter. And as a lamb is silent before the shearers, he did not open his mouth. He was humiliated and received no justice. Who can speak of his descendants. For his life was taken from the earth.”[c]
34 The eunuch asked Philip, “Tell me, was the prophet talking about himself or someone else?”
35 So beginning with this same Scripture, Philip told him the Good News about Jesus.  (JESUS JESUS JESUS)
36 As they rode along, they came to some water, and the eunuch said, “Look! There’s some water! Why can’t I be baptized?”
38 He ordered the carriage to stop, and they went down into the water, and Philip baptized him.
39 When they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord snatched Philip away. The eunuch never saw him again but went on his way rejoicing.
40 Meanwhile, Philip found himself farther north at the town of Azotus. He preached the Good News there and in every town along the way until he came to Caesarea.

Conscious and intentional influence may fail or be false.
Unconscious and involuntary influence is certain and constant.
Luke 11:1-2 “…he was praying in a certain place, when he ceased, one of his disciples said unto him, Lord, teach us to pray,…”     Watched Him and then wanted some!!!

Peter Used His Shadow Acts 5:12-16
“…they [even] kept carrying out the sick into the streets …as Peter passed by, at least his shadow might fall on some of them… bringing the sick and those troubled with foul spirits, and they were all cured.”

Peter was so full of the Glory.
God has a shadow: You were created in his image and so do you!!!
Psalm 91:1 “…shall remain stable and fixed under the shadow of the Almighty.”

Song Of Solomon 2:3 “Under his shadow I delighted to sit, and his fruit was sweet to my taste.”

Your shadow is determined by your revelation of your relationship to the SON.
Acts 4:13 “Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, … they marvelled; and they took knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus.”

Ephesians 3:21 “…to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.”
Colossians 1:27 “…what are the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles: which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.”
Greek “Humin” you:– plural of  you, ye, yourselves

Matthew 12:32  “Do not fear, little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom.”
