Welcome to the in touch podcast with Charles Stanley for Friday, September 6th.

Believers are the only example of Jesus Christ some people will ever see.

If you'd like to learn how to make a positive impact on your friends and family,

listen closely to today's podcast and learn from the life of Daniel.

What are the requirements in order that you and I would be a godly influence on other people?

And by godly influence, I mean a good influence. I mean an influence to exert that power within us to help other people understand who Jesus is

and to influence them to accept him as their personal savior and to influence them to

influence them to grow in their understanding and knowledge of the word of God

and to influence them to walk in a way that is godly,

that is holy, that is righteous, and to

influence them to serve him and to follow him all the days of their life,

and to support his work, and to spread his message all over the world.

And so all of us have a responsibility,

especially as believers, to be influencers,

that is exerting the power that we have. Now that can be by our voice, by our

speech, by our personality, by our possessions, by our position in life. But all of us are influences.

And in the book of Daniel, you'll find the most beautiful example of someone who indeed

cast a godly influence on all those around him.

And so what I'd like to do is I'd like to give you just a set of principles here.

That is, what are the requirements that are necessary for us to be a godly influence?

Not just some influence, but a godly influence, the kind that makes a difference in a person's

life today and the days thereafter.
