Sowing the right atmosphere

Brian Kocourek, Pastor

July 14th, 2010

 

  32   Now, Adam's bride could not wait, but she went forward first. That's the way today, the bride today. She wants to manufacture something. "Glory to God," she's got to work it up on the platform. She's got to have everything. See? What is she doing? Manufacturing something. Look where it's going. You can see there's nothing to it; it's ah phony. Exactly right. If it wasn't, this world would be aflame with the power of God; the church would be on fire; oh, what... Dead would be raised and all kinds of things would be taking place. But what did she get sowed up with before Christ could get to her, before He got to her to plant His Own seed? What did she have? Weed seeds, the world, denominational seeds. That's the reason why she's reaping her harvest right now. I hope you don't, make you upset, but I hope it gets right down to a place where I'll trust that God has given it to you. See?

 

In Deuteronomy 6 we read, ( From the Amplified version, with a little 20th century Americanese added to help make this word more personal to you). "Hear O Royal Seed of God, the Lord God is One Lord, - the Only Lord. And you shall love the Lord your God with all your mind and heart, and with your entire being, and with all your might. And these words, which I am commanding you this day, shall be first in your mind and heart; then you shall whet and sharpen them, so as to make them penetrate, and teach and impress them diligently upon the minds and hearts of your children, and you shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you  drive down the road, and when you lie down and when you rise up.   And you shall tie them as a symbol on your hands ( In other words, they are tied to your actions, what you do)  and you shall bind them upon your forehead." (which means that they encompass your mind or mindset). And, remember, your forehead is where your frontal lobe is and that is where your memory is resident. When a person has a lobotomy they lose there memory. But here we see that they are to take the preeminent place of our thinking. Even as frontlets between our eyes, that all we see is the word of God. As phylacteries that go "boing, boing, boing" as we walk along, and they bounce off our head. A constant reminder.  And then He continues, " "And you shall write them upon the doorposts of your house and on your gates."  Why? So that whether you are coming or whether you are going, there will always be a constant reminder set before you of God's promises to you in this hour.

 

Jesus said, "My house shall be called a house of prayer." And if we have the same nature and life as Jesus Christ, then won't our homes be called a house of prayer as well?  In       Collosians  3: 4 we read, "When Christ who is our Life shall appear, then shall we appear with Him in Glory."  So if we appear when He appears, and our appearing is in the same Glory, or Doxa or mindset. Then won't our homes appear as His home also should be. Then shouldn't we have the same atmosphere in our homes as we do in this church which is His house of prayer? 

2 Peter 1: 2 - 4 2  Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord,3  According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue: 4  Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.

 

Notice the promises contain the very nature of God and by receiving the promises or His Word, you receive the very life in the Word, And therefore, the very nature of God.

 

Brother Branham wanted to keep the Lord always before Him and he wanted his own home to have the same atmosphere around it as there was in church. Love, Reverence, and the fear of God.  Brother Branham even asked his own father to never come around to his home when he had been drinking.

 

#1) Ephesians 5: 25 "Husbands, Love your wives, EVEN AS Christ loved the church, to the point of giving Himself for it; "   Now this is point  #1) Husbands, you must love your wives even as. That means your love must be equal with her as for yourself. What you do for yourself, you must love to do for her. You spend $50 dollars on your self, you had better be not only willing but wanting to spend $50 on her. You spend $15,000 on your self  for tools or equipment or pleasure, you had better have $30,000. Because she deserves her share as well. $15,000 for her would be EVEN AS.  

 

And the words Even as means the same as. Your Love must be EVEN AS. And Paul let's us know that Christ is our example who considered you and I even before Himself, because He laid down His own Life for us. So we see your love must be self sacrificial in nature.

 

 #2)  1 Corinthians 7: 3  " Let the Husband render unto his wife due benevolence: and likewise also the wife unto her husband."   So here we see a principal in the marriage that Paul says both husband and wife must utilize. To render due benevolence. This word Benevolence is a Greek word eunoia you - anoy - ya. And it means to show forth good will and kindness.  Paul uses the same word in Ephesians 6: 6 - 7 (read) 

 

#3)  Colossians 3: 19  " Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against them."  Be not bitter, this is point number #3)  Husbands, in the process of loving your wives, even as, do not become bitter with them. Bitter, = Pikraino  to embitter, to exasperate, to render angry, to be sharp or disagreeable, harsh or severe. Strong feeling of hatred or resentment.

 

Now wives, wouldn't you just love it if your husband would always consider these 3 principals in your marriage?  But are you aware that  you control whether he feels bitterness toward you or not? Are you aware that you are in the control seat when it comes to this?  Let's just look at what the bible tells us about your 3 principals. If you keep these 3 principals, you will never have to worry about an angry husband.

 

# 1) Colossians 3: 18 "Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as it is fit in the Lord."

  Ephesians 5: 22  "Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord."

  Submit = hupotasso =  to subordinate, to place yourself under , to yield yourself to his decision making, to yield to his actions and control, to be obedient. Not just obedience because animals can show obedience.

 

James 3: 3 Behold, we put bits in the horses' mouths, that they may obey us; and we turn about their whole body. So You put a bit in the horses mouth to make him obey. So it is not just obedience here but submit means an act of the your will, not his. Though you may even know better than he, yet you have made a choice to give up your choice, just the Bride of Christ gives over her will to her Grooms, to receive His mindset, so does a true Bride give over her will to meet his will and his headship 1st.   Remember, he says, "as unto the Lord" or " as it is fit in the Lord"  So your submission is unto the Lord through your husband. Now, He descends with a Shout which is a military command and it is said that we submit to this command. It comes forth bringing all things into subjection to Him.

 

1 Peter 3: 1 -2  Likewise, ye wives,  be in subjection to your husbands; that, if any obey not the word, they also may without the word be won by the conversation of the wives; while they behold your chaste conversation coupled with fear.  ( now, this word conversation is not her talking. It has nothing to do with talk. It is a Greek word, anastrophe which means her manner of life, her conduct , her behavior. Remember the story brother Branham tells about the man who was out drinking with his buddies and they got into a conversation down at the bar as to whether there any real Christians any more or not. And he said, tell you what, My wife is a real Christian.

 

 And so they bet him and they planned how they would put her to the test. They came home acting as if they were drunk and carrying on. He crashed through the door and said in a harsh manner as though he was drunk, " Make me some eggs." She proceeded to cook up some eggs and when she served them to him, he through them on the floor and shouted, "That's not the way I like them!" And he said, 'come on boys, let's get out of here." And they left the kitchen.  Instead of doing what most women would do, and throw a fit and begin cussing and screaming, this woman just started to clean up the eggs and as she did she began to sing, "Must Jesus bear the cross alone, and all the world go free, no, there's a cross for every one and there's a cross for me." And that night she led her husband and his friends to Christ. It's not a matter of trying to get even, it's called submission.

 

#2)  Ephesians 5: 33  After Paul tells the men they must love their wives even as they love themselves, then he tells the wives, " and the wife, see that she reverence her husband."  Now this word reverence is a Greek word, phobeo, not phobia. Now some of you might have a phobia about this phobeo, but  it actually has a partial meaning of to fear, to be struck with fear,  to be seized with alarm; of those startled by strange sights or occurrences, of those struck with amazement. ( Now I'm sure this must occur once about, ...   oh I guess about every morning when you see that awful looking, dis-sheveled sight of  half man, half animal  get up out of bed  and you look at him and you cry in your pillow and you say, what a fearful looking monster that is. But the word also means   to reverence, and venerate (which means to almost worship, and to look upon with deep feelings of respect and love.) 

 

 So we see that if you reverence your husband with a deep respect and you submit yourself to your husband,  and principal #3) is as we said before, to render due benevolence which is to  be kind and  good will toward him, how could he ever be bitter or angry or stingy with you. What you are doing is you are creating an atmosphere.

 

Remember the woman who came to brother Branham and  told him that she did not love her husband. Brother Branham asked her if she wanted to love him and she said, yes. So he got her to promise that she would do what he counseled her to do. So he said, for the next 6 weeks, just act as though you do. Do the things for him that you used to do when you loved him. And within a few weeks she was back in love again. You see, what was it? She created an atmosphere, and he fell into it. And he began to respond to the atmosphere that she had created. And they were both back in love again. It was her that created the atmosphere, but it affected them both.

 

THE TOKEN 63-0901  pg. 49 pp. 5 Apply it, create that atmosphere around you, that they will just drop right into it. Oh, you are , if you've got the Token, you create an atmosphere around you of power, that when you walk, people know that you are a Christian. In love for you to say something to them. They believe your word, what you say, they hold onto it. See? That is it. Apply the Token, then walk in it. Claim your household. You must do it, now. This is the evening time.

 

E-35  EXPLAINING.HEALING.AND.JAIRUS  WOOD.RIVER.IL  54-0216  And we ought to get ourselves in that kind of an atmosphere. Create... Each one of you is a creator. Did you know that? Each one of you people that's borned again is a creator. We must create an atmosphere as I said the other night.  Sometimes when I'm in the home, and the wife is all--the people in and out, and just going all the time... I'd go in, and wife standing in there wiping her eyes crying, she said, "Bill, the children hasn't even had a bite to eat today; the house is packed and jammed." There little Sarah, my little two year old girl setting in there, she's crying. Rebekah's come in from school. My wife, all nervous, has got that atmosphere there. See? That's what it is  So I go and I say, "Well, I tell you, honey; that's true &  I say, "Sweetheart," (you know to get her quietened down in a kind way) . Then I, in my heart, I say, "Lord, I am giving my love of God into my wife. Now, Lord, help me  now, here, and I want Your Spirit. Now, Satan would get us all confused, but I want You to help me." (Now, I don't fuss at her. See? No. " I just say, that's right, honey." See? "It's very bad, but you see we're serving the Lord," See, what I'm doing all the time in my heart, I am trying to create a different atmosphere. They're all nervous and they're tore up. See?  Now, I was thinking in my heart, "O Lord,  send Your Presence now and Your love to my poor little tore up wife." And then I say, "Yes, dear. That's right." I say, "What was this here?"  "Oh, we haven't had anything to eat and..."  I say, "Well, there probably won't be anybody else in for the next couple of hours so Let's get something to eat and I'll help you." And I'll start getting up my sleeves and She'd say, "Now, look, young man, you might be able to help me wash dishes but you can't cook."  Then I will say in a joking way, "Who can't cook?" Like that, you know, just going on. "Well, you haven't never seen me fry potatoes yet. I was raised on them," like that--or something like that. And I'll see a little bitty smile trickle on one side, you know.  And the first thing you know, I come over, and I put my hand on her. Now, She don't know what I'm doing yet. And I say, "Bless your heart, honey. I'll tell you what,  I'll help you do this." And then down in my heart I'm saying, "Lord, send Your peace that's in me into her now. O God, quieten my family now. I'm Your servant, Father. " And I say, "Say, dear, I'll help you wash the dishes." And I get on there, and I say, "You just start with the children like, and say something there." And I'm standing there all the time praying, "Now, Lord, send Your Holy Spirit; I know it's quieting them right now. And I'm sending it in this home, my home, in the Name of Your Son Jesus."  The first thing you know, the wife says,  She'd be interested in talking about something. The baby's got blocks a playing in there, going on and It's all over. See? I seen a little smile come out of the side of her face, and I thought, "Thank You, Lord." Just kept on, I said, "we'll will get supper ready right quick and then We'll shove out right quick, and go somewhere. Let's get in the old car and puddle around down along on the hill somewhere." I said, "We will just have a good time."  And she just started getting supper ready. Every once in a while I would walk over. And I was praying, "Oh, Lord, now just let me create this atmosphere being happy instead of being like this." I laid my hands on her like that, and I said, "Honey, you know what?" She thought, I just put my hands on and talk to her, but I was laying my hands on her in Jesus' Name. See? Then, I say, "Honey, you know what? It's just marvelous. You know, this coming summer, we're going up into the mountains, as soon as I get a little time for vacation."  I said, "I'd like to see them kids catch one of those trout. Wouldn't you like that?"  And She said, "Oh, that was a lot of fun." And then, I notice it was coming right along, and I said... "Yes, honey, that's just fine." And inside I'm thinking, ("O Lord God, please... ") And the first thing you know, she was a laughing and singing and the kids had their blocks in there just a playing, and having a big time. So I had my hand on her little shoulder, and I begin to try to create, in my heart. "Lord, I'm happy. There's nothing wrong with me. I love You, You know I do, and You just straighten out my little family." And after while, I said, "Tell you what, honey, I'll show you where those dresses are." Then I'll... When she got quiet, I looked down, and Sarah and Becky had signed the peace treaty, and they were playing; and little Joseph was just a shaking his little rattle box and having a good time. You see, you've got to get in the right kind of an atmosphere It's the atmosphere. You got to get away from that old confusion, but the thing of it is, is that You're scared. That what's the matter. You'll be frying your meat of a morning for breakfast, and the first thing you know, you're filled with the Holy Spirit. Now, I'm going to shock you a little bit. You don't mind, do you? All right. For instance, the meat's a frying, and all at once the grease pops out on your hand. Now, if you'll just shake it off and go on frying meat, it wouldn't bother you. Now, I know you didn't get that just right. Look. The first thing, "Oh, where's the Ungantene?" or Something like that and  You  grab your hand. See? It scares you to death. That's what does it. It's fear.  See, that's the way it is. But, You just keep believing, create the atmosphere. Never let doubt come around you. Believe all the time. Don't  accompany any of that doubt at all. No, sir. No matter what the circumstances are, push away your doubt. Walk right on, and through it. Just refuse it. Yes, sir. Don't give no grounds at all.

 

1 John 4: 17 - 18  17  Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world.  18  There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love. ( read) Fear has torment = Kolasis = punishment or penalty, and what is the penalty? it has to do with causing to hold back, to check, curtail, or restrain In other words as long as you are under fear, you will not move forward. You tighten up  and stop your progress.

 

Peter walking on the water. He was walking all right, till he seen the waves contrary and he got scared. Jesus said, "Why'd you fear?" That's what's the matter with the Holy Ghost people today. They've got a lot they're afraid...The devil's just trying to scare you out of something. He's trying to put something off somewhere else, say, "Some of these days you'll be this." You are now. Now, we're sons of God. Now, we're seated together in heavenly places. Now, we have all powers in heavens and the earth. See? Now, we have it. Not in the millennium, we won't need it then. We got it now. We're... Right now we are the sons of God. "It does not appear what we shall be, but we know we'll be like Him."  What you are here is a reflection of what you are somewhere else. "Those who He called, He justifies." Is that right? "Those who He justified, He has glorified." Already in the Presence of the Father, we have a glorified body. Whew! Wasn't that deep? All right. We'll find out whether it's right or not. "If this earthly tabernacle be dissolved, we have one already waiting." Is that right? That's right. So right now, and what we are there, is a reflection. Here, what we are here, is a reflection of what we are somewhere else. So if your deeds are evil, you know where it comes from. You know where your other body's a waiting.

 

E-33  CURTAIN.OF.TIME  PHOENIX.AZ  55-0302  And notice, while they spake about Him, talked about Him, He appeared. That's a good way to get Him around you: talk about Him all the time. Amen. Keep your conversation, not on who's... Or where the next play comes up on the television, or the next movies going to come, or who's going to be elected president: talk about Jesus. Christians talk about everything but Christ in these days. Go out, they always got a bunch of nonsense and everything they want to talk about or something, but never talking about Christ. Talk about Him. Sing about Him. Love Him; keep Him on your heart and mind all the day and night.  David said about the, he'd bind the laws upon his fingers and the bedpost, and so He'd be before him all the time. That's the way; keep Him before you in memory, thoughts, praise, speech. All that should do is keep Christ before you. That's the way to keep Him near you.

 

-48  PERSONAL.EXPERIENCE.WITH.GOD  CHICAGO.IL  54-0724  Now, I'm going to give you a little secret. If you love people, people will know it. Did you know that man is a creator in himself? How many believes that? He's a son of God in his fallen condition... He's a creator.  Was you ever around someone, that you just love to be around? You've had those people. What is it? It's because of their atmosphere, that they create around them. You've been in nice people, but yet, you couldn't stand to be around them. It's their atmosphere. It's love. Love goes out deep; it does great things. And Jesus Christ is the Love of God.

 

-33  DO.YOU.NOW.BELIEVE  MACON.GA  55-0610  Now, let me tell you something: Each man that's borned again with the Spirit of God in him is a miniature creator. Now, that might shake you a little, but that's the truth. We're in the image of God. God is a Creator. That's the reason that you can believe that God could heal a person, because God is in you, and God made this world. He just spoke it, and His Word become material. The very ground that you're setting on is the Word of God made manifest. If He didn't, where do He get it? See? He just spoke it, and it turned into existence. He believed in His own Word. And if a man's borned of the Spirit of God, he's an offspring of God; and that part of God is in him, and he believes every word that God says will materialize. See? And so, that makes him part of God. The Holy Spirit in the man makes him a part of God.  And now, did you ever see people, nice people, but you just couldn't hardly stand to be around? Sure you have. You don't have nothing against them, but you can't stand to be around them. Then you seen some person that's, oh, maybe a little old scrawny fellow, or a little old woman bent over a washtub, but you just love to around that person. You just love them, somehow. It's the atmosphere that they've got around them, the way they live; they create an atmosphere that you like to be into. That's lovely people to be with.

 

E-42  HIDDEN.LIFE.IN.CHRIST  SAN.FERNANDO.CA  55-1110  Now the refreshing from the Presence of the Lord, something about them, something about a real Christian that you love to be around  And there's a power there  You create your own atmosphere around you. Remember the night the maniac run to the platform to kill me up here at Portland, Oregon?. What happened? Well, that poor fellow... I didn't get angry with him. I loved him. Something happened. I loved him

 

E-18  DIVINE.LOVE  JEFF.IN  56-0826  Now, what you want to do is be lifted up by Christ into a--an atmosphere to where you are happy, peaceful, and then in there you create a situation.... In the atmosphere that you live in, you project to your associates what you are.

 

Hebrews 10 : 22 - 25  22  Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water.23  Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;)24  And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works:25  Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.

 

Provoke to love, to an outward display of their revelation.

 

1 Thessalonians 1: 2 - 7 2  We give thanks to God always for you all, making mention of you in our prayers;3  Remembering without ceasing your work of faith, and labour of love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of God and our Father;4  Knowing, brethren beloved, your election of God. 5  For our gospel came not unto you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Ghost, and in much assurance; as ye know what manner of men we were among you for your sake.6  And ye became followers of us, and of the Lord, having received the word in much affliction, with joy of the Holy Ghost:7  So that ye were ensamples to all that believe in Macedonia and Achaia.

 

They became examples of faith manifested

 You are a creator yourself, a miniature creator. Listen. Did you ever see people that was nice people, though you just couldn't be around them hardly, something about them you just couldn't stand? Did you ever see people that you just love to be around? Did you ever see them kind of people? That's the atmosphere that they create themselves. And let me tell you today, my dear friends, the greatest thing there is this side of heaven is l-o-v-e, Divine love. God is Love. You read in the book when a maniac run out to kill me on the platform that night. I didn't hate the man; I loved him, sure, felt sorry for him. That's what slew him on the platform. That's what slew those witch-doctors standing there that day...?... human beings that God died for, standing there trying to throw spells on me, witches like that. Standing there before Him, and you see them fall to the ground, throw their head down like this, and give their hearts to Christ. It was love that did it. Love is the mightiest force there is. Even phileo love will make a mother jump through a fire to grab her burning baby. She won't think of herself.

 

-23  LOVE  SHREVEPORT.LA  56-0726  And when Divine love has been projected and comes to Its end, then sovereign grace will take its place.  Now, that's my text. When Divine love has been projected... Project Divine love and it comes to its end, till it can't go no farther, then sovereign grace will come in and take its place.  Now, do you realize, being a son or daughter of God, that you are a minor creator? Do you know you create the atmosphere that you live in? Do you realize that the atmosphere that you dwell in, you influence somebody else? What makes people act the way they do? Is because... What makes the drunks like to be with drunks. As my mother used to say the old proverb, and I think it's southern here too: "Birds of a feather flock together," because they have things in common.

 

E-17  DIVINE.LOVE  PHOENIX.AZ  57-0305  And you know that there's some kind of people that's real good people, only you just can't hardly stand to be around them. That's right. Why is it? They create that atmosphere. And there's some kind of people that you just love to be around. They create that atmosphere that they live in.  Now, it's a supernatural thing. Now, when the Presence of the Lord comes down, it creates an atmosphere for faith. And when... I thought, "Now, Lord God, You help me."

 

E-18  DIVINE.LOVE  PHOENIX.AZ  57-0305   Now, you've got to create an atmosphere, and your faith will do it. They were all in the upper room with one accord, when suddenly there came from heaven as a sound of a rushing mighty wind; the atmosphere was right. It takes a atmosphere to do anything.  You know, the regular procedure to hatch chickens is to put them under the hen. But get the egg in the right atmosphere, it'll hatch anyhow. Listen, brother, if a man loves God, and the right kind of an atmosphere he could get into, it'll produce a new born babe just as certain as I am here. It's the atmosphere that counts. Let this little handful of people setting here tonight, get in the perfect atmosphere, watch what takes place. There will not be a feeble among a--one in our midst. The cripples will walk; the blind will see; the deaf will hear; the dumb will speak without prayer or anything. It's the atmosphere.  That's how twenty-five thousand was healed at one prayer in Africa. When they seen the Lord do something, it created a atmosphere, and they stepped into it. That's the pool when the waters in running right.

 

E-38  LOVE  HARRISONBURG.VA  58-0313 There's something about a man or a woman, you are a miniature creator.  Have you ever seen people that you just love to be around? It's the atmosphere they create around them. Others nice people that you just can't stand to be around them. They create that by the way they live and the way they think. It's a little atmosphere you live in.

 

E-15  LOVE  SASKATOON.SASK  57-0519E Did you ever see a person that's a good person, you think they are nice, but there's just something about the person you just don't like to be around them? Certainly you do. And then, you've seen people that you just love to be around. What is it? It's that creative power that's upon the people that create an atmosphere around where they're at. If they're full of love, not make-belief, but real love, you can feel it. You know that they're Christians. They shake your hand, say, "I'm your friend, John." You can feel it.

 

E-16  LOVE  SASKATOON.SASK  57-0519E I know it's the truth, that man create in himself the atmosphere that he lives in. And around him he's anointed with a spirit.  I have seen people that you just couldn't get away from them; you just loved them. There's something drawing about them. It's because they live in that atmosphere, they live under the--the power of the Holy Spirit.

E-44  HEAR.YE.HIM  MIDDLETOWN.OH  58-0328  And it's come down home to the Pentecostals, acting, and dressing, fashioning, looking, talking, blaspheming, making fun, indifferent. That's rough, but it's good for you. It's the truth. But that's the reason the world can't see nothing genuine. When the people comes to a place that they'll forget all their little differences, and the love of God will shed abroad in our heart by the real Teacher, the Holy Ghost, you'll become salty, and the world will want to be like you.  You create a creation around you. You've seen people you couldn't stand to be around, yet they were nice people. They create that within themselves. You've seen people you love to be with, because they create that atmosphere around them. Your spirit's your soul. You can't hide it; you can't make believe. That's what's the matter today. There is too much make belief in Christianity.

 

E-8  IT.WASN'T.SO.FROM.THE.BEGINNING  SHREVEPORT.LA  60-1127M  Did you ever meet people that you just loved to be with? You've had that, and why, they create that atmosphere by their--their life, the way they live, and the things they think about, and the love they have for you.  You've heard my message on the--the opossum, you know, and on the bees trying to sting me, the bull trying to kill me, animals... See? It--it'll do... You create an atmosphere, and that's the atmosphere you have to be in to pray for the sick. See? It's the same thing. It's love that casts out evil spirits.

 

-11  AWAKENING.JESUS  TEMPE.AZ  63-0117 And we create our atmosphere around us, each one of us. You've been with people that were nice people, but you just couldn't hardly be around them. Then you've been with other people that you just loved to be around them. You create that atmosphere. And, oh, wouldn't you have loved to have been around Jesus just a little? Wonderful! See what that atmosphere He created would have been. I imagine it was just one great big bundle of love, and respects, and godly fear.


-19  IDENTIFICATION  PHOENIX.AZ  63-0123  Now Jesus gave us the example of what we ought to be looking at, when He reflected his life to us through the Word--what we should see. When we look into God's mirror, we should see ourselves identified with Him. That is a perfect example.  Now, but we find out that as we go along through life that our character molds the image that we are. Each one knows that. As you live, so is... Your character molds you to what you are. Now, you have seen people that you just love to be around. Yet they might not exactly be in your bracket of society. And again, they might be of a different race--the colored, or the brown, or the yellow. But there's just something about that character, that you just love to be in their presence. Because each person is a little dynamo of their own, and you put out an atmosphere.  And then you see people that were noble people, but yet you were always glad to get away from them. It's just they create such an atmosphere around where you are. Nothing against them. They're nice people, but you just don't like that atmosphere they're in. And their character creates whatever they are, makes them what they are.

 

51  IS.YOUR.LIFE.WORTHY  JEFF.IN  V-5 N-5  63-0630E  And did you know, you are a little creator yourself? Did you know that? Certainly! You've seen people that you just love to be around; you don't know why, just that loving type of person. Haven't you seen that? Just as kind... You like to be around them. That's... They create that atmosphere by the life they live, the way they talk, their conversation. Then you've seen those that every time you--you shun them. All the time they want to talk about something evil and talk about somebody, and say, "Oh, my, there they come, they're going to criticize somebody. They're... He's in here now; he's going to talk about this man. All they're going to do is tell dirty jokes, or something about women, or something like that." You just hate to get around them. See? They create. Seemingly pretty nice people, but they create that atmosphere. And the things that you think on, the things that you do, the actions, the things you talk about creates an atmosphere...

 

9-1  TOKEN.THE  JEFF.IN.  V-2 N-19  63-0901M They was applying the token. Amen. That's it.  Get ready. Apply it. Believe it. Clean up. Let your children, let your family, let your loved ones see it in you. That's right. It'll take effect. Yes, sir.  Then apply the Token in prayer with--with--with consideration, with believing. Apply it with such love and so forth, you know it's--it's going to take place. That's all. Apply it in confidence, believing it's going to help. When you talk to that child, when you talk to your husband, talk to your wife, talk to this loved one, believe that it's going to help, and stand there and say, "Lord, I've claimed them; they're mine. I'm getting them for You, Lord."

 

49-5  TOKEN.THE  JEFF.IN.  V-2 N-19  63-0901M  Apply it, create that atmosphere around you, that they'll just drop right into it. See? Oh, you are--you are--if you've got the Token, you create a spirit around you of power, that when you walk, people know that you're a Christian. They love for you to say something to them. They believe your word; what you say, they hold on to it. See? That is it.  Apply the Token; then walk with it. Claim your household. You must do it now. This is evening time.

 

MALACHI 3:16 - 18 16  Then they that feared the LORD spake often one to another: and the LORD hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the LORD, and that thought upon his name. 17  And they shall be mine, saith the LORD of hosts, in that day when I make up my jewels; and I will spare them, as a man spareth his own son that serveth him. 18  Then shall ye return, and discern between the righteous and the wicked, between him that serveth God and him that serveth him not.   Notice the atmosphere that these people created. They actually drew God’s attention to there words about Him, and when he heard them speaking about Him He noticed and wrote a book of remembrance.

Sounds like the same principals that should be in our marriages, doesn't it. And why not, He is our Groom and we are His bride.

PHILIPPIANS 4:4 - 9 Rejoice in the Lord alway: [and] again I say, Rejoice. Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord [is] at hand.  Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things [are] honest, whatsoever things [are] just, whatsoever things [are] pure, whatsoever things [are] lovely, whatsoever things [are] of good report; if [there be] any virtue, and if [there be] any praise, think on these things. Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you.
