Meine Wohnung, mein Zuhause Teil 3

Auszug von einer Rede von Nancy Campbell:

The attitude of our hearts will affect the atmosphere of our home.

"Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven." The atmosphere of heaven here on earth. God wants us to experience this reality in our home. "As in God's home, so in my home."
We cannot create a heavenly atmosphere on our own. We must CRY OUT FOR HIS PRESENCE to make our homes different.
It is not the externals (how we dress, what kind of home we have etc) that separates you from the spirit of the world, it is HIS PRESENCE that makes the difference so SEEK FOR THE PRESENCE of the Lord!
Our homes should not be a place of strife, confusion or tension. God lives in rest.
Everything that we do in our homes can become a sacred task. Whatever you do is holy unto the Lord because the Lord is present with us in it.

The 7 P's for creating atmosphere:
1. Presence of God. Make your home a place where it's easy for God to dwell.
2. Prayer. "My house will be a house of prayer" Start and end the day with prayer.
3. Patience. Give God room to work on your behalf.
4. Praise. Turn on the worship music, praise the Lord out loud throughout the day.
5. Peace. Don't live by your feelings, live by the truth. Don't speak negatively.
6. Pleasantness. Words have power so fill your home with pleasant words.
7. Purity. Guard against anger, bitterness, jealously. Pay back evil with blessing.

The 7 S's for having a godly attitude:
1. Submissive Attitude. It takes a strong woman to submit. Any 3 year old can stand up for her rights but the strong woman can submit, it's the attitude of Christ.
2. Serving Attitude. When you think "all I do is serve" - that's what Jesus came to do and I have His Spirit within me.
3. Sweet Attitude. Our lips should pour forth the sweetness of the honeycomb.
4. Shepherding Attitude. A shepherd gently leads.
5. Sunny Attitude. Laugh, smile!
6. Soft Attitude. A gentle answer turns away wrath.
7. Sacred Attitude. Everything I do as a child of God is a sacred task. Your body is the house of the Holy of Holies. You are in as much full time work for God as any pastor!

Be blessed!
