Transcript: Creating a Holy Atmosphere in Your Life (Part 1)

Music Music The title of this message today is called, What Kind of Atmosphere Are You Creating for Yourselves? And we're going to begin in God's Word today in Psalms 17, verse 4. The Word of the Lord declares, By the word of your lips, O God, I have kept away from the paths of the destroyer. these were the words of David as he was in prayer before the Lord one day and this is saying that David had been careful or he refused to fall into sinful actions or sinful words and he was stating a personal election of his heart in his prayer to God in this particular psalm and by heeding the words of the command and the precepts of God David's words show us that we should not give right or authority to the evil one called Satan the devil by giving him the right to tear up our pathway which leads us into the heart of our heavenly father. David had endeavored to maintain his place and position in the Lord but also in the kingdom that God had entrusted him with. David also made effort to help others to keep their way free of the destroyer too. Now it's good for you to understand here, if you do not already know, that the ways of sin are the paths of the destroyer. The ways of sin are the paths of the destroyer. Satan delights in ruining the souls of men, women and children by deceiving and trapping them into the paths of sin you know it is really smart of us to keep out of the paths of the evil one and he is always tempting to lure us into some kind of a temptation one kind or another But you must remember, temptation is not sin. No, temptation is not sin until you bite on it and act it out by way of your actions, your deeds, and your words. And then it is called sin. and if we find ourselves on a pathway that is not a pleasant one we must certainly contribute it in some kind or manner of sin in our lives either by omission or commission so we have only ourselves to blame as God certainly is not responsible for our choice or our lack of responsibility to say no when we ought to have and David shows in these scriptures that God's word is to be our guide and our rule in keeping out of the paths of the destroyer by respectful obedience to God's directions and admonitions and if we make a practice of this we will keep ourselves free from the temptations of the wicked one and then he will not have the authority to touch us with his arsenal of alarming and frightening terror. David prays for God's work of grace in his own life when he says in verse 5, My steps have held closely to your paths, to the track of the one who has gone on before. My feet have not slipped. I have called upon you, O God, for you will hear me. incline your ear to me and hear my speech oh Lord well one thing for sure dear church we learn in our growing years in God's word is that his grace and his mercy is what really sustains us our faith and obedience is equally important and this pleases God in that he will incline his ear to hear our prayers he'll hear our please. He'll hear our cries just like he did in answering David. It's really good for us to get a clear understanding of what really pleases God the Father and his Son Jesus Christ. It really should be our first and foremost aim in our thoughts and our prayers is, oh how can I please My God, O Lord, how can I please you? What delights your heart? You see, David was very aware of his weaknesses, especially after he had committed his great crime of sin by committing adultery with Bathsheba. And his prayer here, though, in these verses is, O Lord, hold me up that my foot will not slip against you and that I may never do or say anything that looks either dishonest or distrustful to you, neither to your divine government or your promises. See, David's entreating God for his favor in his own life. And he knows that he needs God's favor and divine protection. I guess we should know that too. In Psalms 5.11, King David says, but let all who take refuge in you be glad let them sing ever for joy spread your protection over them those who love your name that they may rejoice in you for surely oh Lord you bless the righteous and you surround them with your favor as with a shield hear that that's in verse 12 that it ends with you surround them with your favor as with a shield. How many of you know that without God's divine protection round about you like a shield, you would be mincemeat? Making mincemeat of someone or anything is an idiom that means to utterly destroy. And this is Satan's plan, dear church. His aim is to steal, kill, and destroy. destroying is the precious inheritance the redeemed of our Lord Jesus Christ in Psalms 3 verse 3 David exclaims O Lord you are a shield around me you bestow glory on me and lift up my head and to the Lord I cry aloud and he answers me from his holy hill Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, praise the Lord. What assurance and what comfort to know that the living God hears your cries and that he'll answer your prayers, amen? Hallelujah, that gives me sheer comfort, gives me assurance to know God means what he says and he'll do as he says. Praise God. Well, going back to our opening scripture, David said in Psalm 17, verse 4, By the word of your lips, O God, I have kept away from the paths of the destroyer. We saw in the opening that it behooves us to obey the commands or the precepts of God's word. And this word also stresses that if you do not heed or do not live and practice the word of God, that you actually will create your own negative atmosphere and circumstances by invoking the demonic realm by the destructive power of your sinful words, your sinful actions and deeds. You know, there are many people in the church, such as husbands and wives, or members within the family, or friends, or brethren, Brethren or individuals whose words are like acid retorts or sharp swords when they relate to one another. You've heard the saying of someone having an acid tongue or their words are like sharp swords. And so many of God's people live in bondage because they do not obey God's precious commands. they do not put on Christ as the essential of building Christian character as the full armor and defense against the onslaught of the devil's attacks rather than the atmosphere of heaven these people have created an atmosphere of calamity of misery of misfortune and disaster of poverty and sorrow they never have enough There's just never enough. Nearly three and a half years ago, I found myself suddenly in a health crisis. And never had I experienced anything like this in my entire life in the way of sickness as I had with this attack on my life. it was in my darkest hour facing the enemy of death when the Lord Jesus Christ broke through the darkness and appeared to me in the light of his glory and said I am Jesus I am your savior my peace I leave you my peace I give you I will restore you my beloved savior spoke many more things to me that night but when he finished sharing his heart for my life he gave me a living vision which I shall never forget as long as I live what love of my Savior to give me such a gift and a promise in the vision he showed me in the midst of around seven to eight holy warring angels the angels had their backs towards me and were completely surrounding me and each one had a sword and they also had a shield the shields were all touching one another as they made a complete circle around me and the swords were held upward over the angels heads forming like a tent over me since I was in the midst of them the scripture in Proverbs 30 verse 5 immediately came to mind. Every word of God is pure and He is a shield to those who put their trust in Him. And surely this one applies too in Psalms 5.11. Let all who take refuge in You be glad. Let them ever sing for joy. Spread Your protection over them that those who love Your name may rejoice in You. For surely, O Lord, you bless the righteous you surround them with your favor as with a shield the peace that Jesus gave to me that night was surely as the scripture in Isaiah 66 promises and for this is what the Lord says I will extend peace like a river to you praise God and not only has he extended his peace like a river to me but he's healed me of one of the infirmities that hit me over three years ago. How many of you know that waiting on God is the hardest part of your Christian journey? Isn't it true that we are all like a little two-year-old and want everything right now? That's so very true. Well, that is so for an immature Christian but waiting on the Lord has its benefits and we see this benefit of waiting in Isaiah 30 verse 18 yet the Lord still waits for you to come to him so he can show you his love he conquer you to bless you just as he said for the Lord is faithful to his promises Blessed are those who wait for him to help them The Lord will conquer you to bless you dear one. He knows the way to conquer your heart entirely. He longs for you to learn to allow him to create his atmosphere of peace and love in your life, so you will fulfill your reason for being. Waiting on God does not mean that you'll sit back with a glass of lemonade and a box of chocolates and watch soap operas. Don't think so, God forbid. I don't even know if there's such a thing as soap operas today since we haven't had of television for over 12, 15 years. But my point in case here is that you will not walk in calamity which is constant habitual sinfulness, sinful passions, anxiety, misery, misfortune, poverty and sorrow because of not obeying and submitting to God's ways of righteousness and purity. Let me tell you that this heavenly atmosphere does not happen by osmosis either. This atmosphere is created by your obedience and your submission to your new life in Jesus Christ. And when Jesus says, follow me, he means just that. He means follow in my footsteps and learn from my ways and by my life in how you should conduct yourself as my child. And when you please your precious Savior, he provides you with the heavenly hosts who walk with you and they create an umbrella of protection over you. this angelic protection provides this heavenly atmosphere and the peace of God that is stable and an ever-present force in your life and this peace carries with it a presence of God which envelops you you experience it as a manifested closeness and a companionship of a God kind remember that God had said to Moses my presence shall go with you and I will give you rest and rest here means quietness and peace and this is opposite of fear of anxiety or unrest in your soul due to sin the presence of God is his own personal presence and can come by way as well by his holy angels whom he sends from his sanctuary God's providence provides for his angelic protection and this heavenly atmosphere which is like the cloud that followed the Israelites through the desert and there are ways that you can have comfort and peace in knowing that this safety and this atmosphere is guaranteed for you as an obedient and submissive child of God remember this is a promise according to Psalms 91 verse 11 he will give his angels special charge over you to accompany, to defend and preserve you in all your ways hear this in all your ways of obedience and service the first requirement to qualify for God's divine protection and safety is that you must have simple and humble faith in Jesus Christ and must not put your faith in your own strength. This faith does not waver nor is it filled with doubt. To be clothed in humility means that you will be clothed in God's righteousness. We have a message which is titled True Humility and you can find that message on our website under the link called audio Christian teachings. And you may access our website at www.shininglight7ministries.com Again, that is www.shininglight7 that's numerical number 7 ministries.com Now, humility is the opposite of pride. Speaking of humble faith here, humble faith in Jesus Christ and this kind of humble faith is absolutely opposite of pride dear ones Zephaniah 2.3 declares seek the Lord all you humble of the land you who do what he commands seek righteousness seek humility and perhaps you will be sheltered on the day of the Lord's vengeance humility and faith go hand in hand. Your faith will definitely not be a true faith if it is not a humble faith. Humility and righteousness, as I say, are synonymous with one another. The Word tells us to seek humility and possibly we will be sheltered or protected on the day of the Lord's anger. Now the second requirement for God's promise of angelic protection requires your obedience. It's obedience. It's just like that. This means just what it says, and unequivocally it must be so. It is required and necessary for you to live according to God's commands. Jesus said, Obey every command that I have given to you. You do this first of all because God commands it. Amen? That means that you will not pick and choose what you will obey, but you will obey the Lord your God in all ways, in all things. Now, maybe it's a time of great introspection for the body of Christ in this day and hour. A few weeks ago I was conducting a Bible study on the cleansing passion of the Holy Spirit when in the middle of the Bible study the Spirit of the Lord interrupted me and said, Speak this out. the day of my grace is being lifted from many in the body of Christ because they are not taking my commands serious and so the Lord is saying that his grace will be lifted from many in the body of Christ because they are not taking serious his commands they are not taking serious their Christian walk and Christian journey. You see, the angelic protection or the atmosphere from heaven is not worth taking a chance over, dear church. It definitely will be lifted due to lack of personal obedience and submission on yours and my part. We dare not take the word of the Lord lightly. we dare not take this Christian way of life lightly a third thing to keep in mind regarding God's angelic protection is that you must have a deep unwavering trust in fact your trust should be childlike when relating and interacting with God an example of childlike trust here is the story of a frantic mother who called her pastor one day. She was experiencing a bad case of what some people call a bad case of nerves. The pastor thought he heard a little child's voice in the background while the mother was speaking, so he asked her, he said, is your child as upset and worried as you are? Oh, no, of course not, the mother replied. The pastor persisted, But why not? And the anxious mother said, I suppose she puts her trust in me and lets me do the worrying. The pastor said, then make a change. Try to think of yourself as that little child and put your trust in God, just as she's putting her trust in you. Well, so many people live in constant state of anxiety and worry and fear, and never associate it with unbelief or lack of trusting Christ, who says, Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light. You see, the yokes of the commands of Jesus is an easy yoke. Jesus says, My yoke is easy, so this is saying that my yoke is sweet and pleasant and there is nothing that will be considered weighty or burdensome in carrying my yoke. You see, dear Juan, our burden generally has to do with sin. And Jesus has taken our sin and now he says, Learn of me. Just learn of me. Learn my ways. And in learning of Christ your Savior, what you are learning is that your whole way of life and nature is being transformed into the very image and the very likeness of the one who died for you. You are being yoked together with the triune God who is a God of love. And this love is pleasant and kind and very gracious. And when your trust is in Him you find that you are trusting in what your Savior did for you on the cross and gave you everything you need to overcome sin in your life. Your trust is in what He has promised, dear ones. This goes very deep just like the taproot of a big oak tree that goes to great extremes to find its source of water so that it may flourish. an example of ultimate trust or maybe we could say this account represents a kind of fanatical security in Christ this true account reports in the second century a Christian was brought before a pagan ruler and was told to renounce his faith if you don't do it I will banish you, threatened the king the man smiled and answered you can't banish me from Christ for he says I will never leave thee nor forsake thee to this the king angrily retorted then I will confiscate your property and I'll take all of your possessions and again the man smiled and said my treasures are all laid up in heaven and you cannot get to them and the king became furious and shouted then I will kill you. Why, the man shouted, I've been dead for 40 years. I've been dead with Christ, dead to the world and my life is hid with Christ in God and you cannot touch it. In desperation, the king turned to his advisors and asked, What can you do with a fanatic like that? the Lord expects the same kind of mature or maybe we should say this kind of perfect trust or as in this testimony this kind of fanatical kind of trust as we learn to wait on him as he promised to do what he said that he would do learning to wait on God takes trust and you see again as you learn to wait on God you learn to not become anxious and you learn to stand on the promises based on God's holy word as you make it a practice to eat and feed on his truth every day just as in the example of the Israelites who were to gather fresh manna every day while they wandered in the desert and led by the cloud in the desert they experienced God's presence his manifested presence and the guarantee of his divine protection you'll not wander off the path but you will constantly hear his voice in Isaiah 30 verse 20 the word declares and though the Lord gives you the bread of adversity and the water of affliction yet your teachers will not be moved to a corner anymore but your eyes shall see your teachers, your ear shall hear the word behind you, saying, This is the way. Walk in it. Whenever you turn to the left or whenever you turn to the right, you will also defile the covering of your images of silver and the ornaments of your molded images of gold you will throw them away as an unclean thing and you will say to them get away you see the angelic realm the Lord assigns to you to keep you on this highway of holiness endeavors to keep your feet on the path so that you will not deviate to the left nor to the right, but rather that you would constantly move forward all the while learning to trust in the one who went to the extreme of the cross to save you from your sins and also that he would have full and total ownership of your life. This requires absolute, unwavering trust and belief in his finished work on the cross and also in what he commands for you to do in his holy book of life. With this understanding, we come to the next point in the assurance that the Father's divine, angelic protection is afforded us. And this is holding to the path with unyielding, unwavering, strict integrity to hold fast to the truths and the principles of the truth, no matter what may come your way. You and I are promised trials and tribulations at times during our Christian walk. And we're also instructed in why we have these trials. In James 1.2, the word tells us, Consider it wholly joyful, my brethren, whenever you are enveloped or you encounter trials of any sort or fall into various temptations, be assured and understand that the trial and proving of your faith bring out endurance and steadfastness and patience. You see, when we have temptations, God is providing the opportunity for us to say no to the evil one. It's just like that. It's an opportunity to say no. You know you step on the head of the enemy whenever you say no to a temptation? You crush the head of the enemy when you say no. Simple as that. Remember again, temptation is not sin until you bite the bait of Satan the evil one and do what it is that he is tempting and enticing you to do in the way of satisfying the fleshly passions and the greed nature of your unregenerate soul which Jesus Christ alone provided as a way out for you when he died on the cross, spilled his precious blood and says, Now follow me, emulate me, pattern yourself after me. This unyielding and unwavering strict integrity to hold fast to the truths and principles of God's word, no matter what may come your way in the way of trials and tribulations of any kind, is saying that persecution will bring perfection. Hallelujah. Persecution will bring perfection if you do it God's way. 1 Peter 1.6 declares, In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while, if need be, you have been grieved by various trials. Verse 7, that the genuineness of your faith, being much more precious than gold that perishes though it is tested by fire may be found to praise, honor and glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ whom having not seen you love though now you do not see him yet believing you rejoice with joy and at the same time you receive the result, the outcome the consummation of your faith the salvation of your souls Hallelujah your faith is being tested and refined dear church and you are being refined in your suffering your spirit, your soul and your body are being perfected in this awesome and most unique divine process of God's way for us to become his holy people a kingdom of kings and priests his holy people we have a message that is entitled you are refined in your sufferings. And again, when you go to our website, www.shininglight7ministries.com, you'll find that this message will give you clear insight to the necessity and the importance of the beautiful refinement of God's process in this way in your life. And it is important that you never violate God's truths and principles when it comes to holding fast during any trial or any kind of persecution. Do not ask what you get out of it as you go through any trial. Don't say, what do I get out of this, God? What are you going to give me? Peter said, well, we've given up everything. But you should know without a doubt that you're receiving the best gift ever, and this is eternal life provided by Jesus Christ's death, burial and resurrection. Your love for him should grow and prosper as long as you go through this most unique way of your soul's perfection and maturity. Pursue the truth and hate it not as you travel along this sometimes very rough road and through storms of life. Cling to the truth. And God's holy angelic protection will keep and guide you as you journey down this road. As you are being transformed, you're being refined, you're being sanctified through your trials. This brings us then to the next promise of God's angelic protection. And this comes as you serve him. understand that your service to God is not your own choice or choosing dear one the Lord Jesus Christ himself gives the call and the Holy Spirit equips you with the necessary gifts in order for you to be effective in your service to your glorious King and Father in Heaven your part to this holy consecration to God is to say, Here I am, Lord. Send me. Some people say, I'll do anything you want, Lord, but just don't send me to Africa or don't send me to India or don't send me to wherever it is that they say don't send me or don't do this, I won't do this, I won't do that. But you see, you cannot tell God how to do His job. But dear church, you must place yourself completely at His service and allow him to fulfill his plans for you when he says in Jeremiah 29 verse 11, I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord. Plans to prosper you and not to harm you. Plans to give you a hope and a future. You just ask the Lord, how can I bring glory to your name, Father? How may I please you with my service to your kingdom, Jesus? in this way you're leaving everything up to his sovereignty and when you do things his way you will be promised divine protection and the atmosphere that you are creating for yourself will be a very pleasant one a most joyful one even though you might face many bitter and sore trials along the way the last point I wish to leave you with today regarding the angelic protection you will be given comes as you earnestly and you honestly, sincerely practice the command to come out of her, my people. This is speaking of consecration, dear church. This command of Jesus is found in Revelation 18, verse 4. I heard another voice from heaven saying, come out of her my people lest you share in her sins lest you receive of her plagues though we live in the world we are commanded to not partake of sins that make the world filthy and lead multitudes on the broad way or the path that leads to eternal destruction you and I are raised from the dead and given a new life in Christ Jesus and we are to conform to our holy pattern who is Jesus Christ. Lazarus' death is rather symbolic of our new life in Christ. Jesus said to the people around him that day at the scene when they were standing at Lazarus' tomb, he said, remove that rock. And the rock was rolled back and Jesus called for Lazarus to come forth, Lazarus. He was still bound in his grave clothes and the people unwrapped him at Jesus' command. Lazarus had been given new life. His sickness was not unto death in the grave. But dear one, you and I have been given new life and we're told to flee from sin and hate evil. And if you do this because you are commanded to do so, you will be given everything that you need to live a pure and righteous life in Jesus Christ. The stone of reproach has been rolled back from you and me the day that Jesus Christ walked out of the tomb and was free of his grave clothes. And it was reported by the holy angel that day when Mary Magdalene went searching for the one in whom her heart loved and she heard, He is not here. he is risen you see Jesus ascended to be with his father in heaven and all of the work has been finished now he's done everything he's given you his spirit and he says trust me and I'll remove every rock that stands in your way and prevent you from coming to me in a deep and a real way you see his deepest desire is to remove your old grave clothes which represent all of the sinful passions that you had before you accepted his offer of salvation. The idea in this transformation is to outfit you in his beautiful garments of holiness and righteousness. Living truly in the realm of his wonderful and glorious precepts and ways, create an atmosphere that is free of the world. freedom from your sinful passions and greedy lusts into a place of close connection and intimate fellowship with your beloved Savior who promises to never leave you nor forsake you. He promises to give you angels that are charged over you to keep you in all of his ways. And just as Enoch was separated unto God for his purposes so will you have the same opportunity to be separated in a way you will have the privilege according to your righteous choices to walk with God intimately just as this man did I can well imagine the atmosphere that Enoch had created for himself by his righteous choices strictly and mainly because of his love for his God now please understand as well in this word today which I have entitled what kind of atmosphere are you creating for yourself that there are ways that God's divine protection and his angelic realm is not a part of his promise many people who call themselves Christians decide for themselves their own appointed ways They make up their own rules and live by their own standards which are totally contrary to God's pure and holy ways. One of the ways is by presumption. These people defy Jesus' command to follow me. Jesus made it clear to Satan in his time of testing when Satan said, if you are the son of God, he said, throw yourself down for it is written, he will command his angels concerning you and they will lift you up in their hands so that you will not strike your foot against the stone. Jesus answered and said, it's also written, Satan, do not put the Lord your God to the test. So many people bite the bait of Satan and court danger and set their own courses right into the lake of fire because of their presumption thinking that God does not mind their mix in what they have deceived themselves into believing and doing. God says in his word, my ways are not your ways and Your ways are not my ways. And this is why we must learn the ways of God. Because the precepts of the Lord are right and true altogether. People create their own negative atmosphere also by their ways of sin, of dishonesty, of lying and cheating. And with all of their worldly devices and passions such as greed for money, technology, sex, pornography, greedy ambition, dark and also crooked and deceptive methods of twisting the word of God. There is surely an ominous atmosphere following these kinds of people. They are really without God's protective covering. Many do not know they are walking in an ominous atmosphere, the atmosphere of the evil one. They have created it for themselves. This morning as I was preparing to get ready for this service today, I heard the Spirit of the Lord say ever so clearly, Pray for Pastor Jimmy as he delivers this message. He is guilty of twisting and perverting my word for self-gain and seeks to endear my people unto himself for his own evil gain. his eternal life hangs in the balance I immediately prayed for this pastor whom I don't know who it is but as this word goes out over the internet I pray that God will guide this word to this pastor Jimmy I prayed that the spirit of the Lord would convict him of his crime and bring him to his knees in a bitter repentance and that he would admit his error and turn around and face the Lord and be in hot pursuit and desperate desire to know him intimately. You see, without knowing the lover of your soul in this intimate way, you stand the chance of defiling your own path. You stand the chance of using God as a means to your own wicked end, just like this pastor who stands on the precipice of eternal death. Church, I'm telling you that we are living in a day and a time. I'm warning you that God is not playing games in this day and this hour. And those who go the way of pretended faith, of self-conceit, of selfish ambition, ways of willfulness, fantasizing, self-will, sinful passions, and flatterings in getting people to do what they want them to do with their erroneous and perverted doctrines are deceiving themselves right into the lake of fire. Those who are on this path have created an atmosphere of doom and gloom for themselves and also for the ones who follow them. And I am saying this horrible atmosphere is theirs for all of eternity unless they repent now while they have breath on this earth. For some, the day of grace has already been lifted. Their lot is decided. They are walking in deception, believing that they shall inherit eternal life. The Lord's divine and awesome angelic protection is not promised to willful sinners. the scripture again reports the promise to those to whom it is given Psalms 91 verse 9 promises if, please hear that if, if you make the most high your dwelling even the Lord who is my refuge then no harm will befall you no disaster will come near your tent for he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all of your ways. Not just a few of your ways, precious ones, but in all of your ways. Jesus says, If you live in me, and I in you, ask me what it is that you desire, and I shall give it to you. First, though we must live in him and make him our dwelling place, and then he promises that he'll make the atmosphere around you fortified and charged with his presence and will make every effort to give you what you desire in this life because it is united with his holy word that says in Jeremiah 29 verse 11 I know the plans that I have for you declares the Lord plans to prosper you and not to harm you plans to give you a hope in a future and then you'll call upon me and you'll come to me and pray and I will listen to you and then you will seek me and find me when you seek me with all of your heart I'll be found by you declares the Lord and I'll bring you back from captivity I'll bring you out of captivity those who live in this heavenly atmosphere of God's presence manifest a holy life and it is recognizable by God and by those who have matured to know and recognize the difference. The fruit of their spirit comes out in the way of their language, of their conduct, and by the love and the concern that they have for their brothers and sisters in the Lord. Also, for the love for their beloved shepherd, it radiates as a blazing lamp and does not need to be expressed publicly. because it reports itself in the kind of life that they live. It is easy to detect the spirit that is not of God when you walk in the spirit, dear believer. It is very easy to detect the spirit that is not of God. Now, I have been around people who have walked by me, and the atmosphere that follows them is one of sinful uncleanness cleanness due to what they have been doing in the way of sexually gratifying themselves, whether it be by way of masturbation, pornography, fantasizing about sexual pleasure, and whatever it may be, the atmosphere that follows them reeks of foulness and perverseness. Years ago, I was in a home as a guest and was sitting in the living room early one morning when a young lady came from her room and walked past me to go into another room. I felt the atmosphere and presence of a host of unclean spirits that were trailing after her. I put my Bible down, looked directly at her and said, What perverse and foul thing have you been doing this morning? The young lady looked shocked and surprised and couldn't hold back her words that exclaimed her crime when she desperately and shamefully exclaimed, You can tell? You know what I have been doing? I said, Oh, yes, I know what you have been doing. It's quite apparent with the host of perverse evil spirits that are trailing after you. It is a dead giveaway as to what you have been doing. And you know that what you are choosing to do is sinful and you are gratifying yourself in this sin. And she shamefully escaped back to her room. Psalm 17 verse 4 says, By the word of your lips, O God, I have kept away from the paths of a destroyer. You see, in this word today, which stresses that if you do not heed or live and practice the word of God, You actually will create your own negative atmosphere and circumstances by invoking the demonic realm by the destructive power of your sinful words, your sinful actions, your preferences and your deeds. And you'll create the atmosphere of heaven or you will have created the atmosphere of hell depending on how you're living your life right now. the power of the fruit of praise of thanksgiving and worship will invoke the presence of God and the promises and blessings of God are promised to the righteous and not to those who willfully sin let me tell you dear one you will walk securely in the atmosphere of angelic protection and in his manifested presence because the Lord Jesus Christ concerns himself with the fact that he shall give his angels charge over you. He will personally command those holy beings to keep their eyes fixed on you because he is jealous over you because of the willful election of your heart to obey and submit your life to his ways and prefer the atmosphere of his presence, of his love and his peace. rather than the evil presence of the atmosphere of the devil and his hordes of hell. And you will have the unseen and mysterious divine realm guarding you like a mother who carries her newborn baby. And this is with tender kindness and love. But this angelic realm carries a supernatural power and authority. because Jesus Christ has released them to be set all around you, just like he has shown me in the vision that lingers today as very real and very comforting.
