Friendships // New Year, New You (Part 4)

Message Notes: I want to begin by mentioning how it’s imprinted in all of us, even at a very young age. To seek companionship/friendship at a very early age.  In a lifetime, you make 396 friends, but only 1 out of 12 friendship lasts. Not having any friends can be dangerous to your health, just as bad as smoking or being overweight Your brain reacts the same way when you are in danger an when a friend is. Close friends share about 1% of their DNA. A recent study suggests that close friends share 1% DNA making them as close genetically as fourth cousins.  Your close friends influence your weight and your health habits.  Interesting fact: Friendship is the emotion babies recognize even before they start walking or talking.  Study conducted at the University of Chicago, even young babies can understand social relationships, especially friendship, before they can walk or talk. Infants are able to watch strangers interact and then make inferences about whether those two people are likely to be friends. 2 Ways Enemy uses People to Destroy You Isolation – Will always make you feel like “People are the problem” Toxic People –  Will always make you feel like “You’re the problem” Proverbs 13:20 Proverbs 27:9 Proverbs 24:6 Genesis 11:5 Proverbs 13:19 Proverbs 22:24-25 Pastor Vlad released a new book "BREAK FREE", available on iBooks, Amazon, Kindle, Audible and everywhere books are sold.
