You are the arrow in God's hands...he is putting you in His bow...positioning you to great things so that you can make an impact wherever you are. Whatever you have is a direct promotion to your faith, without faith it is impossible to please God. We have to develop faith. Faith that has not been tested...cannot be trusted. god does not respond to pain, but to faith. So faith must be trained. We need to have faith in God. When we impact others it is all about God and the Kingdom of God.

It is about to rain fish to those who believe. Fish speaks about harvest.
The greater the resistance the greater the revival. The greater the test the greater the testimony. Brand new people is coming forth because of brand new miracles that will be taking place. Nothing is impossible with God for those who believe. To make an impact in the community there needs to be partnership...partnerships of power. When you hear God speaks to you then you need to move, in order to receive your miracle. Joseph needed three people to partner with him, to get him where he was destined to be.

Pastor Fabian Steyn
Impact is to strike something with something else. It is to influence and make an effect. It is force that is exerted. The breakthrough is not without a fight. You must decide to make a high or deep impact. Be willing to take a chance verses a risk. An effective person always ask 'Why?'.
Discovering yourself is the third important day of your life, after being born ad being born again. Before you impact others you must impact yourself. Don't get stuck in your thinking, there is always another level.
- Expand yourself in every way
- Grow beyond your past barrier
- Constantly better yourself
- Your attitude (the spirit that you are carrying) determines your impact
- Attitude makes the difference in the lives of others
- Pray till a fire spread-Revival
- Allow the Holy Spirit to work in your life
