This session, right,
is going to be all about how to shift atmospheres.
And our focus this week is all about
increasing our joy levels.
And here's why we want to increase our joy levels,
because alignment with heaven, right?
Alignment equals joy,
and joy equals strength,
and strength enables us to make an unshakable stand,
and that's what we need in this season.
So I'm going to whip out the whiteboard in a moment,
which is going to be fun.
And we're going to be using the letter A a lot.
Interesting, the letter A is a word for,
the word that alliteration starts with.
So there's going to be a lot of A's, okay?
A, A, A.
So you can say A,
the letter A is going to be used as a mind hook
for you to help you remember this session.
So we've got a bunch of A's happening today.
Let's pray to kick off with,
and yeah, I want you just to drop in the comments,
wherever you are,
what are your joy levels at right now?
Okay, test them.
I like to test atmospheres.
You know, like right now,
you could test the atmosphere, right?
If you are used to shifting atmospheres,
if you're used to seeing the glory of God
shift an atmosphere completely,
if you're used to seeing angelic presence
coming into a place that shifts the atmosphere,
then you'll be used to testing atmospheres
or gauging atmospheres.
Pretty much everyone gauges atmospheres all the time.
Is it a safe atmosphere?
Is it a dangerous atmosphere?
Is it a peaceful?
Is it a distracted?
What type of atmosphere?
So I want you to go like this right now
and just test the atmosphere.
What's the atmosphere like where you are right now?
Let me give you one quick story
of atmosphere shifting in action.
I got a call out.
I got a call out from someone who,
there was a young person who was real suicidal.
They were threatening suicide
and asked me to go around there.
And so I went in there,
I walked into the house.
As you can imagine,
the house is just filled with darkness and chaos
and gloom and despair
and all these thoughts of suicide
and everyone in full stress mode.
I'll shortcut for the sake of time,
but the way that that evening ended up is,
there was, I think one person
or there was in the house that kind of like boosted
when I turned up,
they didn't want to have anything to do
with what I was carrying
and what I was going to bring into that house.
So I think there was five people
that still stayed in there
and stayed for the conversation,
stayed for what happened.
But what transpired is that
the atmosphere completely shifted.
By the end of that night,
it went from a suicidal guy
and a depressed environment,
saturated in darkness,
to they all made commitments to Jesus.
They all got filled in the Holy Spirit.
They were all singing in the Spirit
and an atmosphere of dominion opened up
that when I spoke,
as soon as I spoke,
whatever needed healing got instantly healed
and miracles was like pop, pop, pop, pop.
And they were all,
and after that,
the conclusion of the evening,
what happened is they were in their lounge,
the exact same room that we'd just been in.
When I came in,
it was filled with despair and.
darkness. And they were all looking around school. Wow. Wow. Wow. They're like, they
couldn't believe it was the same. It was just the lounge, just the living room. They couldn't
believe it was the same place because the atmosphere of the glory of God, the manifest
glory and shifted the atmosphere so much. The miracles breaking out the move of God,
the singing in the spirit, the shift in the atmosphere was so great. They couldn't believe
that they were still in their own living room. But that's good, right? So you can you get
used to seeing the shift in atmospheres when the presence turns up, when a miracle pops,
when angels are there, when prophetics moving, when people, you know, like when God is touching
lives, you start getting used to the shift in the spirit that takes place. So when you
do this, test the atmosphere, what's the atmosphere like around you right now? And get used to
doing that, because you're someone that's called to shift atmosphere. So if you're going
to shift them, you've got to be aware of them. And I want you to answer what are your joy
levels like right now. And I'll drop this for you as well. Thankfulness equals happiness.
Okay, I tell this to my kids all the time. Thankfulness equals happy happiness, like
gratitude multiplies your joy. So let's start in prayer. And let's start with gratitude.
Well, Papa, we thank you for some 1611 that says in the presence of the Lord is the fullness
of joy. Whoa, so we stop right now. We stop and we become aware of your glory. Whoa. We
stop Yeshua Messiah, Jesus, we stop and we become aware of the reality that you feel
the very air we breathe. Your presence, your glory, Isaiah six is holy, holy, holy is the
Lord God Almighty. The whole earth is filled with his glory. Whoa. So we stop right now
we acknowledge that your glory it fills the air we breathe. We stop right now we become
aware that your glory fills us has infused us that you live in us that we are one with
you that we are seamlessly one with you that we have been united with the divine nature
we stop and we become aware of our oneness of divine union.
We celebrate your nearness. We celebrate the wonder of your goodness. We celebrate that
you are in us, that you are with us, that you feel the air that we breathe, that you
have always been with us, and you will always be with us, that you will never leave us or
forsake us. And we thank you for this moment right here.
Were you with us? We give you all the glory and all the honor we thank you for your promise
to Abraham and Genesis 15, that you would be his very great reward. And we honor you
we say you are our very great reward. There is nothing more precious, more priceless, more
glorious than who you are, than your presence, than your nearness, than your goodness, than
your closeness to us. So we give you all the glory. We give you all the honor in your
beautiful name Jesus. Amen. Wow, so much goodness. I'm going to pull up a scripture for
you. And it's in Genesis. So come with me to Genesis. If you've got your Bibles, it's
going to be the key scripture for us is Genesis chapter 28. Such a great, such a great little
story here. So we're jumping in to Genesis 28. And this is Jacob's dream at Bethel. All
right. So get ready, we're going to read that in a second. But listen, something that God is
looking for on the planet that's so critical right now. This is something that's so critical. I
want you to say critical, right? I mean, you can say words like critical, you can say words like
urgent. This is critical. This is urgent in the body of Christ right now. What God is looking
for is agreement, is agreement with what he is doing right now. Okay, this is so critical. This
is one of the major focuses of this session today is helping you step into agreement with what
heaven is doing, agreement with what God is doing right now. Okay, so God is doing stuff in the
planet, what he anybody he
needs something, right? He wants to work through people, and he
works through our agreement. Okay, so a huge question for you
right now is, where is your agreement? Okay, what are you in
agreement with? Because whatever you're in agreement with, will
will manifest in the atmosphere around you. Now, what God is
looking for, is he is looking for some people in the earth
right now, who will take their faith to a whole new realm. And
I love what Papa Norm says, he says, if you want to see what
you've never seen before, you've got to take your faith to where
it's never been before. If you want to see what you've never
seen before, you have to take your faith to where it's never
been before. And that is where we're what God is looking for
right now. Okay, we've got media chaos, we've got psychological
warfare, we've got witchcraft swirling all around us. And
what's it trying to do? It's trying to snatch your
attention, it's trying to snatch your agreement, it's trying to
put your agreement with lack, it's trying to put your
agreement with fear, it's trying to put your agreement
with Satan, it's trying to put your agreement with
hopelessness, trying to put your agreement with despair. But
heaven has a different sound, heaven has a different message.
And heaven is looking for you to transcend, to jump up. And this
is where I feel a shift has already happened, right? A shift
from being thermometers, from being people who just measure
and reflect the atmosphere, reflect what the media is
saying, reflect the chaos, reflect the despair. We're not
called to be thermometers. And there's a shift taking place
right now. I know this, I can feel it in myself, I can feel
it in the atmosphere. There's a shift and God's calling you to
make a shift right now from being a thermometer who's just
regurgitating the same atmosphere, reflecting the same
atmosphere, regurgitating the same information, reflecting the
same information, which is the factual realm, the earthly
realm. And he's saying, come up here, because I've got a whole
nother lot of information. I've got heavenly broadcasts, I've
got heavenly videos, I've got heavenly downloads, I've got a
heavenly breaking news, I've got heavenly information, I've got
heavenly declarations, I've got heavenly realities that I want
you to come into agreement with. He's saying, come up here, I've
got a whole nother dimension of truth, of reality that
transcends facts. And so if you want to live in the realm of
facts and live in the realm of fear and live in the realm of
lack and live in the realm of anxiety and stress and despair
and depression, if you want to live there, then just stay in
this fact based realm, listen to the media, listen to all of
that stuff, watch all of those videos. There's nothing wrong
with being aware of that. But you have to transcend it, which
means you have to go above a thermometer, someone who just
lives according to that atmosphere lives down here, a
thermostat transcends and goes above and connects in with what
God is saying comes to agreement with that. And when we come into
agreement with what heaven's saying, we become a contour
become a thermostat of the atmosphere of heaven gets
released into the earth through us. So let's talk about this
Jacob's dream at Bethel Genesis 28. And we will, so Jacob's just
had a sleep, he put a rock down and he slept on this rock. And
he said, it says verse 16, when Jacob awoke from his sleep, he
thought, surely, hang on, I might go a little bit earlier.
Sorry, let me start at verse 10. Jacob left Beersheba and set out
for Haran. When he reached a certain place, he stopped for
the night because the sun had set. Taking one of the stones
there, he put it under his head and lay down to sleep. He had a
dream in which he saw a stairway resting on the earth, with its
top reaching to heaven and the angels of God were ascending and
descending on it. There above stood the Lord and he said, I am
the Lord God of your father, Abraham, and the God of Isaac. I
will give you and your descendants the land on which you are
lying. Your descendants will be like the dust of the earth and
you will spread out to the west and to the east to the north and
to the south. All peoples on earth will be blessed through you
and your offspring. I am with you and will watch over you
wherever you go. I will bring you back to this land and will
not leave you until I've done what I have promised. When Jacob
awoke from his sleep, he thought, listen, this is the
really important bit. When Jacob awoke from his sleep, he thought,
surely the Lord is in this place and I was not aware of it. He
was afraid and said, how awesome is this place. This is none
other than the house of God. This is the gate of heaven. Wow.
Okay, so let me say this again. Let me read this again. When
Jacob awoke from his sleep, he thought, surely this the Lord
is in this place and I was not aware of it. He was afraid and
said, how awesome is this place. This is none other than the
house of God. This is the gate of heaven. So here's the first
thing. I'm going to grab the whiteboard right now. I'm going
to go fast forward on the whiteboard for you.
Okay, get ready for the A's, here come the A's, the whiteboard and A's, you guys can
see that.
Let me just check you can see that, right, I'll turn this light here off, I'll adjust
this camera for you, a little bit of beauty, right, okay, now, whiteboard markers, get
ready, how to shift atmospheres, let me tilt this camera for you just a little bit more,
choice, okay, this is shifting atmospheres,
I'm giving you this now because it's going to be foundational for what we do for
the rest of the week, I'll turn this bad boy here off as well, oh, I'm out,
let me see what happens if I do that, oh, a little bit dally, I think this will work,
okay, shifting atmospheres, the first thing in the process of shifting atmospheres is
awareness, and this is the thing that first happened for Jacob and he said,
how awesome is this place, surely God is in this place and I was not aware of it,
and I think this is one of the massive things that people need to kind of shift into right now,
as people, like, how awesome is this place that we're in, how awesome is the season of history
that we're in right now, how awesome is right now, this moment right now, because God is moving in
this hour, God is releasing unprecedented moves of God, unprecedented revival, but the question
is, are you aware of it, are you aware of what God's doing, so this is the first stage in shifting
atmospheres, okay, awareness, you've got to be aware of what God is doing, you've got to be
aware of truth, you've got to be aware of what heaven's saying that transcends facts, okay,
the facts were, as far as Jacob was concerned, that this was just, that place was called Luz,
which means almond, it was nothing special, but he renamed it Bethel, which is the house of God,
the gate of heaven, how awesome is that, so he was in a place where he thought it was just casual,
nothing special, but actually it was the gate of heaven, so awareness moves to alignment,
okay, we have to shift to alignment, our alignment, our thinking has to change, right, our thinking
has to align with heaven, right, you've seen that alignment equals joy, when we're in a place of
alignment with the mind of Christ, alignment with heaven, we're going to be in a place of
invincibility, we're going to be in a place of joy, we're going to be a place of faith, we're
going to be a place of courage, we're going to be a place of exceptional strength when we're in that
place of alignment, now you can have, here's the thing, like you can have, like alignment is
actually, it's the process of changing our thinking, but the alignment, here's where alignment goes,
it comes to this place of agreement, okay, and agreement is, in essence, agreement is the same
thing as faith, alignment is repenting, changing the way we think, coming into agreement with the
mind of Christ, holding fast in that, so right now is a time where we actually need to do this afresh,
like we need to come in a fresh awareness of what heaven's saying right now, what God's doing right
now, and then we need to align, we need to shift from this fact-based realm, what all the media is
thinking and saying, we need to shift, okay, and we need to come into agreement, which is a hundred
percent locked in, rock-solid faith, an immovable declaration and conviction agreement with God and
with heaven of what heaven is saying, what heaven is doing right now, okay, this is an ascended
lifestyle, okay, this is ascending, arising, there's lots of a-words today, ascending, arising, aligning,
and coming into agreement with what heaven is saying and doing, okay, so we've got agreement,
and then the next thing is attention, okay,
attention, because you can come into agreement and then you can get distracted from what God's
saying, but we need to actually give this our attention, we need to really be very, very
intentional about giving our attention exactly to what heaven is doing, okay, this is why when we do
the 21-Day Hard Things Challenge, we talk about a trigger, because a trigger is about practicing,
shifting our attention onto the presence, onto the glory of God, so attention, where is your
attention, where are you putting your attention, and are you a master of your attention, or is your
attention able to be distracted, are you distracted by all of these other things going on around you,
someone sat over here, like you go into an atmosphere, when you go into an atmosphere,
does the atmosphere distract you to the point that you just reflect that atmosphere back,
or can you maintain your attention and your agreement in alignment with what heaven's saying,
and actually go, no, I'm in agreement with heaven, I'm in agreement with a dimension that transcends
realm, I'm in agreement with a whole nother level, a whole nother realm, and I'm going to shift
this atmosphere, okay? So when you're a master of your attention, you're heaven, you master
Colossians 3, 2, fix, right? Fix your eyes on things above, not on earthly things. Fix your
eyes on heavenly things, not on earthly things, okay? So fixing your mind on heavenly things,
even when there's a distraction, even when there's a contradiction, even when the facts don't align
with the promise, even when the facts don't align with the truth, even when the facts don't align
with what God's promised and what he's saying he's going to do, your attention won't be distracted by
the facts. Your attention is locked in Colossians 3, 2. Fix, set, concrete, engage your thoughts,
your mind with heavenly things, not on earthly things, and when you do that, when you stay in
agreement in the midst of contradiction, you'll see breakthrough that shifts the atmosphere.
The next thing is where your attention is, right, determines your attitude.
Okay, attention determines your attitude.
Okay, what's your attitude like right now? Is your attitude, do you have an attitude of fear,
an attitude of distress, an attitude of like, oh my gosh, a lack-based attitude, or an abundance-based
attitude, which is like, you know what, what is the awareness of what heaven's like right now?
What is the mind of Christ doing? What is in the throne room right now? What's in the heart of the
Father right now? What's in the heart of Yeshua? What's in the heart of the Holy Spirit? Have they
capitulated? Have they lost their faith? Have they lost their courage? Have they lost their strength?
Have they lost their power? Have they lost their hope? They have not. They are invincible. The mind
of Christ is invincible. There is no doubt, no lack, no worry. There is abundance. There is courage.
There is victory. There is the sound of heaven. There is the sound of triumph. There is the sound
of victory. There is the sound of invincibility. If your awareness is locked in with the realm of
heaven, with the throne of God, there is no fear, stress, discouragement. That's not what's going on
in heaven. And when you transcend, shift, align, and come into agreement with that, it'll shape,
and then give our attention to it, it shifts our attitude. And when our attitude is, we have the
same attitude as Christ Jesus, that's Philippians, he says, you're in relationship with one another,
your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus. And if your attitude is the same as that
of Christ Jesus, you will be in Proverbs 28, 1, which is, the righteous are as bold as a lion,
all right? The righteous are as bold as a lion. So when you're as bold as a lion, when you're like
David, Psalm 27, he says, though an army advance against me, my heart will not fear. Though war
break out against me, even then will I be confident. Are you confident? Are you bold? Are you
invincible in the face of every aspect of chaos and darkness that's being unleashed all over the world?
Are you in the place of invincibility and courage and holding fast to the word of God and decreeing
and declaring and mandating and legislating and arising as the Ecclesia, as the government of God
and the earth and say, this is the word of the Lord in Jesus' name. And are you speaking to nations
and speaking to governments and speaking to atmospheres and speaking to the heavenly realm
and speaking to powers and principalities in the heavenly places? And you're actually arising as a
beloved royal son and taking your place as the government of God and wielding authority and
wielding dominion, actually stepping into that place. That's the attitude you carry when there's
an awareness of who you are, where you are, the mind of Christ, the sound of heaven. You align
with that. You agree with that. You give it your attention. That shifts your attitude and your
attitude dictates the atmosphere. Boom. Boom. There we go, family. There's how you shift
atmospheres, right? And then when you walk like that, when you carry that, what happens is you
are going to shift and shake atmospheres. And that is what we need right now. And listen, agreement,
right? Agreement. Heaven is looking for agreement right now, okay? Because unprecedented,
unprecedented, God is doing unprecedented, radical new things, things we haven't seen,
things that he wants, if you want to see what you've never seen before, you've got to take your
faith where it's never been before, okay? And that's agreement. And that you're going to take
your faith where it's never been before by leaning into heaven right now, by aligning,
repenting, which simply means changing the way you think, catching up, getting new revelation,
being immersed in that fresh word of what God is saying right now, and then agreeing with it,
and attention, holding fast to it. It'll shape your attitude, and that will shift atmospheres.
And this is like the process of cultural architecture, okay? So this is how we shift
atmospheres. Oh, that was kind of fast. Come on. Let me read you one more scripture,
and we're going to wrap it up.
I hope that's glorious for you.
Let me know if you are finding some value in that.
Let me know what's good for you out of that.
But turn in your Bibles with me, Colossians 3, 2, and I'm going to read this in the Amplified
version.
Okay, I'm reading this in the Amplified Classic version, Colossians 3, and set your minds
and keep them set on what is above, the higher things and not things that are on the earth.
Okay, and set your minds and keep them set on what is above the higher things, not on
the things that are on the earth, all right?
That is all about, are you going to be a thermometer or a thermostat?
So this week, guys, our mission is to be thermostats, okay?
Our mission this week is to increase the joy levels on the planet by being thermostats,
by being, and the difference between a Christian who's a thermometer and a Christian who's
a thermostat is a Christian who's a thermometer who's simply reflecting what's going on around
them.
That is a Christian who is, you know, that's a person who's just focused on, you know,
what they're seeing around them, you know, like that's where their agreements are, that's
where their attention is, is on the media, are on the things around them.
But listen, guys, there is something that we need to be listening to a whole lot more
than YouTube videos, than Facebook videos, those are awesome, okay?
Like we need those, and just like the Channel 6 News and, you know, whatever you're listening
to, you know, like those things are important and we do need them, and I'm not saying don't,
I'm listening to a bunch of videos at the same time, you're just getting, being aware
of what's happening, but there's one thing to be aware of it, and it's one thing to be
like, that's the only thing that you're hearing, that's the only message, right?
Because you want to come into a place where you're actually hearing what heaven's saying
as well.
Sweet, fam, let's pray and we'll wrap this up, and if you're watching this, and if you,
this is on, like, this is on public accessibility right now, but I'm going to shift it into
our private groups tomorrow, so if you want to be a part of that, we're going to really
cut loose in some wild prayer times and get a little bit more prophetic and holy ghosty,
which is going to be awesome, just click on that.
If you want to make sure you don't miss it, click on the link in the description and we'll
just make sure that you sign up, you're getting the emails, you're getting, you know, when
it's happening, and it'll give you access to our Raising Royalty group, and we can join
the adventure, so that's free, so just click on there and you'll get the notifications
of everything that's happening, so papa, I thank you this, I thank you this week for
giving us a whole new grace to step into Colossians 3.2, Holy Spirit, the anointing,
the mantle, the grace, the capacity, the power that's on Colossians 3.2 to transcend the
realm of the earth and to ascend into the realm of your kingdom, to ascend into the
throne room, to ascend into the mind of Christ, to ascend into a greater reality of your perspective
and your plans and your purposes, I thank you, Lord, for a grace and anointing, a capacity,
a mantle, Lord, an ability to ascend in Jesus' name, to ascend and to transcend earthly realms
and earthly voices and earthly media, and Lord, to ascend into the sound of heaven,
to ascend into the mind of Christ, to ascend into your declarations, to ascend into your
plans and purposes, and papa, I ask that you put on us a whole new grace to come into
agreement with what you're doing, so that we can be those thermostats that are actually
releasing into the earth a move of God that we have never seen before, in your beautiful
name, Jesus, amen.
Last thing I'll say is, you know, if you're a thermometer, if you feel like you're a thermometer,
then make some changes real quick, right, make some changes real quick, because here's
the problem, is if you're a thermometer, you are not, you're going to be like Jacob
before he woke up, right, when Jacob first walked in to that place, it was just the name
of the place that he went where he had his dream is called Luz, which means almond, right,
there was nothing significant there, it was just a dumb place, just an insignificant place,
nothing special here.
Now, a thermometer, someone who's a thermometer, they live in Luz, right, there's nothing special,
nothing significant, God's not moving, it's just like, I may as well go to sleep, right,
because nothing's happening here.
But a person who's a thermostat, they don't live in Luz, they live in Bethel, and what's
the difference?
Here's what Jacob said, how awesome is this place, right?
If you're bored, if you're scared, like then, then you have not woken up, you haven't had
that Jacob Bethel experience right now.
Because if you have, you'll
see what God's doing in the earth right now, then you'll be like Jacob. Because God is moving,
doing crazy, awesome things, looking for people to agree with Him, looking for people to stand
with Him. And here's what Jacob said, how awesome is this place. This is none other than the house
of God. This is the gate of heaven. And a person who's a thermostat is a gate of heaven, opened
and in agreement with God and unleashing an unprecedented move of God, standing in agreement
with God, standing in agreement with His word, declaring His word to principalities and powers,
to governments and nations, over your family, over your life, over the atmosphere around you,
over your town, over your city. A thermostat is in full agreement with what heaven's doing. And
what heaven's doing is giving us absolutely every reason to say how awesome is this place.
Love you, fam. Bless you. And look forward to seeing you tomorrow, same time in the Raising
Royalty group or the Online School of Sonship if you're there. So bless you. I'll catch you later.
