October 25

President Clinton instituted a policy that in the White House, people were allowed to "dress down". Dressing down for the White House was basically that men didn't have to wear ties. People still looked sharp, but not so formal. He was trying to change the culture of the White House. He tried to change the culture, by changing the atmosphere which would change the climate of things. Once he had climate change, then the culture would follow. Boy did he take some flack! He was rocked over it and probably decided that it wasn't worth the trouble. The ties and jackets eventually became a fixture – again, but there was a change that trickled down into some of corporate America. Casual Fridays are still happening across this land. Even though He didn’t completely change things, there was an effect that has lasted.

God wants to change the culture of His church. He is pouring out His Spirit in ways that changes the atmosphere. The question is whether or not we will respond and give way to what He is doing. Unlike casual Fridays or being able to eat in the White House Cafeteria with the President, we are talking about the Kingdom of God, and God is trying to show us He wants more of its effect on the earth! He wants us to live supernaturally! In fact, He wants supernatural living to become natural for His people! So when you notice a difference in the atmosphere, a different climate, like a different season is coming, then become a part of the culture shift. Don’t fight it like a young man fighting the fall temperatures by maintaining his short and flip flops attire, but enjoy the move of God and become raptured in it.
