My only influence is Jesus Christ. If you're looking for me to point you to a secular artist that has influenced me, you will not find any. As a matter of fact, I believe it needs to be the other way around. I think that we as Christian believers need to quit living as close as we can to the edge! We need to quit living on the fence line of Christianity and this ungodly world and get close to Jesus Christ. (Galatians 2:20) It does reflect in your music and on the outside whether or not you are truly in it for Jesus Christ or you are in it for yourselves! The reality of the matter is, it's not our music that's gonna save and keep people.(Eph. 2:8,9) It's not any program that's gonna save them. It's not even by "church conventions"! Brother's and sister's in Christ, it's by the Blood of Jesus Christ and THAT ALONE!!! And it's only by the Holy Spirit drawing them and compelling them and pointing them to the Cross! For it's "not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the LORD of hosts." Zechariah 4:6 Sick of being full of self? Try being full of the Holy Spirit! That will shake this world upside down; a person who is willing to be full of the Power of God and Him alone!!! The last time I read the book of the Acts, the church was full of these who denied self!!! And they were the ones influencing and seeing the ungodly saved, healed, and set free!!! So remember, if you're looking for me to point you to an unsaved, ungodly, wretched soul that needs redemption and say they have some kind of influence on me (and please don't get me wrong, I truly love them and pray for their salvation) , you need to understand that I give no man glory. To Christ and Him alone be all the glory forever, Amen!
see the days are coming, declares YAHWEH, when I shall make a new covenant with the house of Yisra'el and with the house of Yahudah, not like the covenant I made with their fathers in the day when i took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of mitsrayim,
My covenant which they broke, though I was a husband to them, declares YAHWEH. for this is the covenant that I shall make with the house of Yisra'el after those days, declares YAHWEH. I shall put My Torah in their inward parts, and write it on their hearts. and I shall be their Elohim, and they be My people.
