Did you know you can change the atmosphere of your home? Have you ever seen your child do something naughty and it reminded you of yourself or your spouse’s behavior?
Unfortunately this is a reality in our house sometimes. I’ll see my oldest daughter talking to her little sister in a wrong way and say oh that sounds like something I would say…eek, I gotta quit saying that or acting like that!
CHANGE THE ATMOSPHERE OF YOUR HOME
Our kids can only do what they see us do…
They learn from who we are and what we do more than what we try to teach them. I am constantly checking and rechecking how I act in front of my kids with my spouse or with other people.
It is vital that we know what spirit we are walking in at all times we are either choosing the enemies character or God’s character. We need to be aware of fear, anger, selfishness, wrong attitudes, unbelief and doubt.
Do only what the Father says to do
When Jesus walked on the earth He walked in complete confidence of who He was and still is, God’s son incarnate{embodied in flesh}. He was a man of GREAT character. He loved, He laughed, He healed, He taught, He did nothing, but what the father showed Him to do. John 5:19 says Jesus gave them this answer: “Very truly I tell you, the Son can do nothing by himself; he can do only what he sees his Father doing, because whatever the Father does the Son also does.
This scripture speaks a lot to me-obedience, honor, integrity, love, strength, anointing, power, faith, and trust in the father. These are all the characteristics I would love my home realm to be and also the realm of God we walk with when we leave the house.
If we were to actually put this principle of only doing what the father tells us to do, we would fill our homes with only peace, love and joy because that is the character and atmospheric realm of God.
Breaking bad habits and characteristics to change the atmosphere of your home
Wouldn’t that be amazing to always be filled with the peace and love of the father. We actually can…Yes I said it! We can! If we make the decision today to follow God’s will and not our own we will break off every wrong characteristic that our children are now learning from us. They will be raised in complete love, joy, peace, faith and obedience.
Wow can you imagine it! wooo! I’m getting excited just thinking about it.
So let’s make a pact to only do what the father tells/shows us to do and break off all the characteristics of the enemy in our household. It’s never to late all things are possible to them that believe! Believe, trust and wait on the Lord, He will guide you!
