Several things will come to mind:

1. Don't think that we're strong enough to stop their bad influence.

2. The negative always win overcoming the positive

3. Choose your friends wisely, choose a wise and righteous friend.

4. Not everyone could be the friend of a pastor, but look for someone who's godly and fears God and be his friend.

You might say, oh Im not their friend I'm just sticking around, there's no reason for you to stick around since bad friends or people will use evil communications and you will be influenced by them. You could not be a friend of someone who worships and serves the devil, you are God's servant and you worship and serve the Light.

You can be an acquaintance of everyone but you can only be a friend of someone who knows and serves the Lord like you do.

You cannot influence them for the Kingdom of God, it never happened, don't be fooled, many have tried and they failed. They have now backsliden.

Galatians 6:7 Stop being deceived; God is not to be ridiculed. A person harvests whatever he plants:

Ephesians 5:6 Do not let anyone deceive you with meaningless words, for it is because of these things that God becomes angry with those who disobey.

2 Thessalonians 2:10 and every type of evil to deceive those who are dying, those who refused to love the truth that would save them.

Revelations 12:9 The huge dragon was hurled down. That ancient serpent, called the Devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world, was hurled down to the earth, along with its angels.

Revelations 13:8 All those living on earth will worship it, everyone whose name is not written in the Book of Life belonging to the lamb that was slaughtered from the foundation of the world.
