Receive Your Healing: The Climate

30 Jul Receive Your Healing: The Climate

THE ‘CLIMATE’

Everyone carries a climate. It is a function of your thoughts, expectations and belief systems. Your beliefs affect your thoughts. The words we speak also affect our climate. People and things respond to the climate you allow in your life. How people thought about Jesus, in Mark 6:1-6, affected the miracles that He was able to do amongst them. The climate of unbelief is not just a decision not to believe; it is generated by a number of thought patterns. What they thought of Him, as opposed to who they thought the “Christ” ought to be, created some conflicting opinion about His genuineness. This hindered Him from functioning in power like He could do. Climates are dictated by prevailing MINDSETS. In Acts 10, the climate (or prevailing mindset) was that only the Jews could be saved. Climates can hinder the out-working of God’s power until someone does what it takes to break the climate so God’s power can flow. To generate the right climate is to believe God’s Word from the heart, speak it with our mouths and expect God’s power to make the difference. Prayer and fasting also influence the climate over the lives of those who engage in such disciplines. The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of Truth and He transmits the power of God. These disciplines can help us be more yielded to the Spirit of God as He enables us to generate the correct climate for God’s power to be experienced. Satan also generates climates that are conducive for his operations. His allies are the flesh, the world and the demons under his control. He pollutes the minds of people, confuses them and stops their minds from believing the Word of God! There are spiritual ‘climates’ over regions of the earth, just like there are natural climates too.
