CHANGE YOUR ATMOSPHERE AND YOUR ENVIRONMENT WILL CHANGE ! M M

Our a tmosphere is formed by the air trapped between the earth’s surface and the layers of gases that separate it from space. The atmosphere is conditioned by heat from the sun that rises from the earth after warming it. If too much heat is trapped it builds up and the atmosphere becomes overheated. This is commonly known as The Greenhouse Effect.

The overheated atmosphere then affects the environment in much the same way that the heated air in a greenhouse enables exotic tropical plants to grow that could not survive in the colder air outside. Think of the environmental changes that would take place if our world became one great big Greenhouse and we really did have global Climate Change!

If the atmosphere changed, so too would our present environment, and with it our lifestyle. The way we dressed, the kind of food we ate, and even the style of houses we built, would be different.

A similar thing takes place when a person in a home, school or workplace develops a wrong attitude. When this happens, the atmosphere changes and the environment in the home, school or workplace changes along with it. This emotional climate change results in those in the situation either adapting to it and learning to live with it, or leaving, in the hope of finding the environment they once had somewhere else.

A Climate Change can also take place spiritually, when unbelief enters a person, home, or town, as Jesus discovered on a visit to the town of Nazareth, where he had grown up and had worked as a carpenter. The strong atmosphere of unbelief in Nazareth prevented Jesus from doing many mighty miracles for the seriously ill there.

They said, “From where did this man get his wisdom and mighty works? Is not this the carpenter’s son? Is not his mother called Mary, and are not his brothers James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas? As for his sisters: are they not all with us? From where, then, did this man get all these things?”

But Jesus said, “A prophet is not without honour except in his own country, and in his own house.” Jesus could do few mighty works there “because of their unbelief.” (Matthew 13:54-58) Mark writes, “He laid his hands on a few sick folk and healed them.” (Mark 6:5) Their attitude of unbelief removed faith from the town’s atmosphere and left its environment unhealthy.

Loving and praising Jesus, the Son of God creates an atmosphere of faith in which we can receive the miracle our sick bodies need! An atmosphere of praise and worship brings a spiritual Climate Change to your home or work environment. It becomes one of peace, joy, love, and good health!

An atmosphere of faith and love that changes home, school and workplace is Climate Change we can believe in! Jesus lives! Leave a big faith footprint behind you on Planet Earth!
