There are times in life that we really need a change but although we can see what the problem is , change seems so far away.
I am going to share what has helped me to make change when I have needed it over the years. I have learnt to change the atmosphere in the situation.
If you want to change the situation in your life, your family or church the atmosphere must change.
The Pharisees also with the Sadducees came, and tempting desired him that he would shew them a sign from heaven.
He answered and said unto them, When it is evening, ye say, It will be fair weather: for the sky is red.
And in the morning, It will be foul weather to day: for the sky is red and lowring. O ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky; but can ye not discern the signs of the times?
A wicked and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given unto it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas. And he left them, and departed.
Some people came to Jesus after he had a service where Thousands were fed with seven loafs and a few fish. They ask him for a sign from heaven to prove his divine authority Jesus replies you can read the climate by looking at the sky. they are right:
the sky demonstrates god’s creative power:
The heavens declare the glory of God; And the firmament sheweth his handywork.
The sky or heavenly regulates the the atmosphere on the earth:
And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:
And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so.
To change coal to diamonds there must be a change of pressure
To create gold you need an increase in temperature
Here are some steps to change the atmosphere in your life, Home and church:
Invite Jesus into your situation-You may say
And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God;
I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.
So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.
Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:
I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.
As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.
Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.
Many times we cry Lord change my situation without saying Lord change me. One of the most ungodly prayer phrase i have heard is , Lord if there be any sin or fault in me. if you are like Jesus that is okay if not there is sin or fault there. What I have found is that those who pray this phrase is that it comes out of ignorancy or pride.
Have the Bible open or playing in your house 24/7 the word of God will permeate the atmosphere of your home.

Real change comes when we connect to Jesus and humble ourselves to pray:
If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
Like the pharisees you know the legality of what Jesus has for you but you life, preaching and teaching lacks power because you have not
Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:
Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.
Jesus says you can look at the physical sky
