Have you ever driven through a region and felt a heaviness? Have you walked into a store or a person's home, and it felt dark? I'm sure we've all had encounters where we have felt the negative and the positive, but how do we change the spiritual atmosphere when we are somewhere and we can feel the presence of darkness? Praise changes the atmosphere. Worship changes the atmosphere. The power of our words changes the atmosphere.

Have you ever driven through a region and felt a heaviness? Have you walked into a store or a person's home, and it felt dark?
I'm sure we've all had encounters where we have felt the negative and the positive, but how do we change the spiritual atmosphere when we are somewhere and we can feel the presence of darkness?
Praise changes the atmosphere. Worship changes the atmosphere. The power of our words changes the atmosphere.
We have been given authority over all things. That means we have the authority to change the atmosphere. Unfortunately, instead of us changing the atmosphere, some of us allow the atmosphere to change us. What do you do when you face such an encounter?
How to Change the Atmosphere:
-
Worship music: When at all possible, play worship music. The lyrics often encompass Scripture, so when you are playing worship music, you are also releasing Scripture into the spiritual atmosphere.
-
Quote Scripture: Proclaim out loud Scripture that you have memorized, or if you have a Bible app on your phone, you can read some Scripture aloud. The Bible is full of prophetic and authoritative words to demolish any heaviness or lingering spirits present.
Carriers of His Presence
Often, we shut down and shut up when darkness comes to penetrate and we experience an eerie feeling, we don't have to succumb to it. In those instances, we must stand on the Word of God that "He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world" (1 John 4:4b).You don't have to be afraid or spooked out by your surroundings. You are the light into that surrounding.
We can do a similar thing at church. We speak about how the presence of God is here every week, and then a person came in and contaminated our spiritual atmosphere. Aren't we carriers of His presence?
We have the Holy Spirit residing in us; that means the presence of God is within us. We need to transform our minds to know we are atmosphere changers and that we carry the presence of God within us.
This means don't have to submit to outward circumstances when we have the Spirit of God residing on the inside of us. When we change and renew our thoughts and believe who we are, we will change the atmosphere automatically wherever we go by walking in our dominion.

What is the Holy Spirit's role in the crucial end times in which we live? How do we rely on Him for truth when we don't know the facts of what is happening? I was troubled recently as people were predicting adverse world events. Prophets, media, and Christians were releasing what appeared to be warnings. I heard people going to the store and stocking up on groceries. I heard the fear and concern in people's voices as I talked to them. I even had someone close to me ask what my prophetic insight was. These predictions had a time stamp on them, and it passed, and nothing happened.

God formed you in your mother's womb to be alive at this very time. I am always amazed when I think about the depths of God's creativity. He could have chosen you to be born to other parents in another country in a different time era, but He created and formed you in your mother's womb for such a time as this! Years ago, the Lord told me something would happen in the world and I would need to root out all fear so when everyone else was in fear, I could be in faith. I believe that prophecy manifested through 2019-2021 and what happened with sickness attacking the worldwide population. At that time, I saw a principality of fear over the earth.

We've all heard and been told to capture every thought. In fact, the Bible tells us to in 2 Corinthians 10:4-5, "For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds, casting down imaginations and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ." I've studied this verse and used it many times as one of my life's freedom verses. When we examine this verse in the original Jewish translation, it means "does the thought obey the Messiah? Does it align with the Word of God, and how the Messiah thinks?"
