This week At our Men’s Cafe we will did a teaching called the shadow of influence.
Really looking forward to exploring how our influence impacts people our entire lives and beyond.
I am looking at Acts 5:13-15 that talks about the time when people would bring their friends and family and lay them along the street so that “at least” Peter’s shadow might fall on some of them.
The passage goes onto say that everyone was healed.
It is also said that in India people would try to position themselves in a way that Mahatma Gandi would pass over them….ummm?
Wow, to be able to help people at that level would be unimaginable.
Here are my thought points I am developing.
1. OUR INFLUENCE IS ALWAYS ACTIVE.
2. OUR INFLUENCE IS MOSTLY UNCONSCIOUS
3. OUR INFLUENCE LIVES BEYOND US
4. OUR INFLUENCE IS IRREVOCABLE.
Phillip Brooks says;
“no man or woman of the humblest sort can really be strong, gentle, pure and good, without the world being better for it.”
“I have a little shadow that goes in and out with me, And what can be the use of him is more than I can see.” – anonymous
Really looking forward to the rippling effect of this talk

.Have a good shadow that lives beyond ya.
