Summary
“Creating a Pure Kingdom Atmosphere” explores how purity of spirit shapes the environment in which God moves. Each speaker emphasizes the inner condition of the heart—brokenness, humility, confession, and right motivation—as the essential foundation for maintaining a spiritual atmosphere where revelation, healing, and unity flourish. The episode stresses that a pure atmosphere is not something we enter; it is something we become. By refusing to relate to one another after the flesh, confronting our reactions, embracing God’s dealings, and pressing on to know the Lord, we create an atmosphere where His presence is free to work in and through the Body of Christ.

A pure kingdom atmosphere begins in the inner life. It is created not by outward actions but by a heart purified through brokenness, humility, confession, and right motivation. When we stop relating to each other after the flesh and allow God to expose and heal our reactions, we become vessels through which His presence flows. The pure atmosphere we long for is not something we enter—it is something God forms within us so we can become it for one another.
Transcripts
Dale: There is a pure kingdom atmosphere that we create for what God is going to do. A pure spirit can purify the atmosphere. Amen. And blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God. Matthew 5:8. You could also say blessed are the pure in heart, for they will not be deceived. Their perception will not be veiled. A pure spirit then can purify the athmophere.
Christ couldn't perform any miracles where He grew up, where they knew Him after the flesh. That's a warning to one another that we don't get buddy-buddy. We don't know one another after the flesh. That we keep that high level of a relationship that we know one another after the Spirit.
not despise.” That's Psalm:
Debbie: How do you get into a pure atmosphere? You come in the presence of the Lord and you have a broken and contrite heart before Him. You humble yourself. Out of that comes a pure atmosphere.
Linda: We're to confess our sins one to another. I realize that I have certain reactions—just the way they think—and it's different than the way I think.
I'm laying that before you and before the Lord today, ’cause I really want the pure atmosphere, to where my brain or my heart doesn't automatically go to, Oh, getting frustrated with someone or not understanding where they're coming from, because they are a part of the Body of Christ. And if I react to them in any way, shape, or form, I'm hindering their growth, and I am suppressing my own growth, or thinking that, Oh, it isn't that big of a deal.
It is a big deal. So I'm declaring pure atmosphere. Cain's service created an atmosphere of murder because there was nothing right in his spirit. Jude 11: “Woe to them, for they have gone the way of Cain for pay, and they have rushed headlong into the error of Balaam and perished in the rebellion of Korah.” And it’s just those things that are left still in the human nature or the heart that can take a person off.
So I'm declaring a pure atmosphere for all of us. Lord, we're crying out for Your pure atmosphere. Fear.
Pat: You can't evaluate your life. All you can do is evaluate the motivation of your spirit. That's what I contend to do in my life because things come, things hit us the wrong way. Like you're saying, Linda, I know I have wrong reactions and I've gotta let it go.
You come to the place where you can't even evaluate your own life. All you can do is evaluate the motivation of your own spirit. How many thousand things did we all do wrong? All of us. In it is that brokenness, and we are saying, Lord, heal it totally. If it was an offense to You, forgive it. But at this point, we can't afford to let any of our stumblings in the past, or even our victories of the past, be a hindrance to us.
We have to forget those things which are behind. But whatever things were gain to me, Paul saying, those things I have counted as loss for the sake of Christ. I have to come to the place: celebrate Christ in me. Celebrate Christ in you. Lord, give us eyes of spirit.
The Word says in Psalm 51, starting with verse seven: “Mayest Thou purify me with hyssop, and I shall be clean.” He's doing it. “Mayest Thou wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.”
And then verse eight goes, “Mayest Thou make me to hear joy and gladness.”
Debbie: We have to realize that it's not Satan doing this all the time, that even though you feel things happening in your body and in your mind and in your spirit, you've got to face the fact the Lord can lance wounds and make you heal.
He can hurt you. He can sew you up again and bind you up. “Come, let us return to the Lord, for He has torn us, but He will heal us. He has wounded us; He will bandage us up. He will revive us after two days; He will raise us up on the third day, that we may live before Him. So let us know, let us press on to know the Lord.
His going forth is as certain as the dawn, and He will come to us like the rain, like the spring rain watering the earth.”
We're following on to know Him. That's why we're creating this pure atmosphere so we can have a relationship with the Lord that's pure and righteous before Him. Then to realize that the Lord is trying to do something within me, the Lord's allowing it, because He has—He's bringing up the things. It's like bringing the dross to the top and wiping it off, making it pure. Yes, we can be pure before Him.
