Blessings Consecration Partner,
WELCOME to the 40 day Consecration Challenge and THANK YOU for joining me.
Consecration begins August 21st – September 29th. ROSH HASHANA The New Year will be commemorated on September 30th.
Please spend time in prayer prior to Aug 21st asking the Lord what it is He would have you to “lay aside” for these upcoming 40 days. It may be certain types of food, a behavior, or a habit. It maybe sweets, meats, junk food, selfishness, envy, negative talk, social media that you surrender or abstain from during this time of consecration . Do know that I am not suggesting that this 40 day consecration is to replace the Isaiah 58: 6-9 traditional fasting. Both have their place.
Feel free to invite another person along with you on this journey. It helps to have accountability. As iron sharpens iron, we will partner for the purpose of accountability and encouragement throughout this “time sensitive” period.
I will be blogging devotionals, or forwarding voicemail and/or videos Monday- Friday.
Saturdays and Sundays will be designated exclusively for your personal time with God.
The blogs will be posted from my website page bannisterministry.org
I also will be challenging you to respond to the “reflective questions” that will periodically be asked. All responses, inquiries, concerns, etc; will be addressed via email.
Please make sure to begin each day with prayer and the reading of the word. Also, read scriptures that are related to your specific area of surrender. Make sure to journal what you sense God is saying to you.
Don’t be too hard on yourself during the 40 days. A closer, deeper walk with God, not perfection is the goal. Therefore, seek Him will all your heart, surrender your will for His, and watch Him do the miraculous in your life.
I truly believe if this fast if followed faithfully and honestly, it will change your life.
I pray you will have an experience with God that exceeds all other encounters with Him, and that the benefits of your surrender are reaped for many generations to come. So without further ado, welcome to the 40 day Consecration!
