So if my husband wanted to take me out on a special date and he planned it down to the littlest detail, then he told me about it weeks in advance my expectations would be really high.  My whole week would probably be planned around that event. I may buy a new outfit to wear and I would for sure spend time on my hair and make up and wear my special perfume and leave my house expecting a fabulous evening. I would dream of the place that he would take me.   I would wonder if he reserved a special table, and think of how many courses they would serve us.  I would probably clean the car out in case there was a valet. (I have a mom car)

Now we get to the restaurant and I see it is a greasy diner and no valet, no candles or ambiance, just the sound of the dishwasher smashing dishes in the sink and people talking really loud.  Instead of candles filling the air, it was a smell of stale cigarettes. Now even if it was the best, most exquisite food in town I think there would be an element of disappointment, I think there would be a missing element in the “date night.” That environment is not conducive to romance. Don’t get me wrong, I am all about diners and dives and I love trying new interesting places but this is not ”the night” I imagined. Honestly I do not want to sit in that atmosphere for hours having a romantic evening!

Atmosphere is everything!  It is the same thing when we set the spiritual climate in our homes. We can set an atmosphere full of peace, love and healing and full of the fragrance of heaven.   The way to create that atmosphere is with our worship. We go to so much time to decorate our home, buy all the perfect pictures; we get the perfect candles and perfect furniture, yet one thing, the most important thing that adds the finishing touch is something we often forget about. This is the one element that adds the most amount of peace to our homes.  It changes the atmosphere so much so that people can walk in your home from bad situations and maybe even feel unloved and hopeless they will instantly feel peace, security and the love of God. This is your “Calgon take me” away experience! 

The more of His presence you allow around you, the more of His presence will flow through you. We have the answer that unsaved people are looking for.   The unsaved will literally walk into your home and with just the right atmosphere their spirit will respond to the peace of the Holy Spirit. People will tell me “your house is so peaceful,” and it is because we make sure our atmosphere, our environment has been climatized by the Holy Spirit!

Why is right environment so critical? Keep in mind right things are birthed in the right climate-

Why do Apples grow in Yakima? Right Climate

Why do Oranges grow in Florida? Right Climate

Why do Polar Bears live in Alaska? Right Climate

The climate you allow determines the product you produce! When you allow a worship climate of the Holy Spirit around you, you produce him!

I encourage you to always keep worship music playing in your house, even when you’re not there. Climatize your car, your office and every place you go for periods of time and then when you walk in your office or even the grocery store you can fill that place with the fragrance of heaven that came from your worship experience and who knows what could happen!
