The depth and width of the adversity is often proportional to the influence.

Whatever God sets you free from He automatically gives you an anointing to set other people free from the very thing you were a victim of.

Being a Change Agent in the Culture

1975 Bill Bright & Loren Cunningham

Entire media controlled by 100 people36

Now it shall come to pass in the latter daysThat the mountain of the Lord's house Shall be established on the top of the mountains,And shall be exalted above the hills;And all nations shall flow to it. Isa 2:2

% to change a mountain?3-5 %

Entire media controlled by 100 people38

Mountains are Controlled by Small % of Leaders and NetworksUS culture has been defined by less than 500 intellectual cultural philosophers who influence 7 gates and supporting networks since our birth as a nation. Randall Collins, a sociologist and author of Discovery of Society

Media and the Gay Agenda

We must also engage the culture to influence it.

The greater the influence of the cultural mountain, the greater the warfare.because a great door for effective work has opened to me, and there are many who oppose me. 1 Cor. 16:9

"Jesus said: 'Ye know that the princes of the Gentiles exercise dominion over them, and they that are great exercise authority upon them. But it shall not be so among you: but whosoever will be great among you, let him be your minister; And whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant: Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.' (Matthew 20:25-28)."........45

Rom 12:2Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.

There is a stem in the brain that actually begins to grow when we accept christ into our lives and meditate on new truth. The truth makes us free. Joseph and David went through a time of character building. 48

Isolation and Revelation

Paul was hidden away for 3 years in Arabia before he was released into his assignment. He wrote many epistles from prison.

David Cave of Adullam, fled Sauls sword over a decade

Nelson Mandela of South Africa waited 27years in prison

Elijah after fleeing for his life from Jezebel. Word of the Lord came to him in the cave:, What are you doing here, Elijah? (1 Kings 19:9) .

Messes into messages and messengersIsa 45:3 hidden things in secret places50

For Jesus, it was Judas.

For David, it was Absalom.

For Joseph, it was his brothers.Crucifixion usually requires a third party.

52Eph 5:25-28

25 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her, 26 that He might sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water by the word, 27 that He might present her to Himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be holy and without blemish. NKJV

53

Why was Jesus Influential?

He solvedProblems!!

He solved Peters fishing problem

He solved Peters tax problem

He fed 5,000 people when there was no food

He solved the blind mans seeing problem

He solved the prostitutes problem & kept her from being stoned

Culture doesnt care who solves their problem; they just want their problem solved.

Whoever solves the problem gains influence.

57

Networks - Change happens by a small number of change agents banding together

"I do not pray for these alone, but also for those who will believe in Me through their word; that they all may be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You; that they also may be one in Us, that the world may believe that You sent Me. John 17:20-22

Is your name known in Hell?

Dead or Alive!Wanted!And the evil spirit answered and said, Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are you?Acts 19:15

Proclaim this among the nations:Prepare for war! Wake up the mighty men,Let all the men of war draw near,Let them come up. Beat your plowshares into swords and your pruning hooks into spears;Let the weak say, Iamstrong. Assemble and come, all you nations, And gather together all around. Cause Your mighty ones to go down there , OLord. Joel 3:9-11
