Under The Influence


When we hear the term “under the influence,” we think of someone under the influence of a substance, such as alcohol or drugs. A person under the influence of a substance talks differently, walks differently and acts differently. In the same way, when a person is under the influence of Jesus, it should show in their talk, their walk and their actions.
