A Believer's Influence On Society | Gabriel Swaggart | Sunday Morning Service

The speaker begins by expressing gratitude for the care and presence of the audience. They reference the book of Matthew, specifically chapter 5, and introduce the topic of the sermon, which is about the teachings of Jesus Christ on what it means to be a Christian. The speaker emphasizes the importance of applying these teachings in daily life and prays for guidance from the Holy Spirit. They also share a personal story about receiving messages through dreams since childhood.

The speaker recounts a vivid dream from about 20 years ago, where they were transported back in time to witness the impact of their ministry. In the dream, they saw packed auditoriums from past crusades in the 1980s. The dream was significant for the speaker as it showed the influence of their family's religious work and the number of people who had accepted Christ. The speaker also describes the emotional impact of the dream and the realization that the people in the audience were those who had passed away but had accepted Jesus Christ as their savior.

Continuing the dream narrative, the speaker encounters a woman who thanks them, representing the speaker's grandmother. The woman's appearance and mannerisms are reminiscent of a supporter named Zoe, who had funded their ministry's television equipment. The speaker's grandfather had baptized Zoe before she passed away, and the dream suggests that she is in heaven. This encounter in the dream is a powerful moment of recognition and gratitude for the support that the ministry has received.

In the dream, the speaker meets another individual, a man named Bobbie Graham, who was known for his financial contributions to the ministry. Despite his rough exterior and questionable past, Bobbie was a dedicated attendee of the church and played a crucial role in raising funds for the ministry's radio projects. The speaker reflects on Bobbie's transformation and the significance of his support, emphasizing the impact of the gospel on people's lives, even after they have passed away.

The dream continues with the speaker seeing their late mother, who had passed away about a year or two prior. The emotional encounter is described as a moment of beauty and peace. Upon waking, the speaker experiences a supernatural event where a music system in their room turns on by itself, playing a specific song about people going home to the Lord. This event reinforces the speaker's belief in the power of God and the significance of their ministry's work.

The speaker reflects on the global impact of their ministry, emphasizing the importance of reaching out to people and sharing the gospel. They express gratitude to the congregation for their support and involvement in the ministry's mission. The speaker also highlights the collective responsibility of all Christians to be a light in the world, spreading the message of Jesus Christ and the transformative power of the gospel.

The speaker asserts that the future work of the ministry will have an even greater impact than the past achievements. They encourage the congregation to understand their role in the ministry and to live as Christians in all aspects of their lives, including at work, in social settings, and during elections. The speaker emphasizes the importance of voting as a Christian and living out one's faith in all areas of life.

The speaker calls on the congregation to embrace their identity as children of God, to stand tall, and to let their light shine. They encourage believers to be a positive influence in their workplaces and communities, and to be a witness for Christ. The speaker also discusses the concept of being 'saved' and the spiritual transformation that comes with accepting Jesus Christ, urging the congregation to live a life that reflects this change.

The speaker delves into the biblical metaphor of believers being the salt and light of the world. They explain that as salt, Christians are meant to preserve against decay and add flavor to the world, while as light, they are to shine in darkness and be a guiding presence. The speaker warns against becoming 'saltless' or losing one's flavor, which they equate to losing one's Christian identity and impact. They emphasize the importance of maintaining a strong Christian character and living a life that influences others positively.

The speaker concludes the service by leading the congregation in singing a hymn about letting one's light shine. They encourage the congregation to be bold in their faith and to share the message of Jesus Christ with others. The speaker also promotes the Family Worship Center's services and invites people to join the media church and engage with the Sonlife Broadcasting Network.

The speaker ends the service with a call to action, urging the audience to not let anything, including negative influences, extinguish their spiritual light. They promote the upcoming service and encourage the audience to return. The speaker also mentions the ongoing battle for the mind and soul, contrasting the policies of the left with the message of peace and love of the right. The service concludes with a reminder of the availability of live services and the resources for joining the Family Worship Center Media Church.
