Blessings Consecration Partner,
I am so grateful for this opportunity to connect with you on a more personal and deeper level. I believe CONSECRATION is a new expression of order in the earth – a special time of focus on the presence of our Lord and Savior by praying, fasting, and giving. This triple trio is a dynamic force when simultaneously put into action.
Purification is a prerequisite to entering the presence of the Lord
Fasting and consecration allows us to crucify our flesh. It breaks chains spiritually. Times of fasting and purification are opportunities to know who and where you really are in relation to God. These are times for introspection, soul-searching, self-evaluation, and self-sacrifice to God. Fasting and consecration doesn’t change God, it changes us!
There are multitudes of application for consecration. However, this particular act of consecrating is the act of dedicating yourself, or your home, a relationship, a job, your sexuality, or whatever needs God’s Grace – deliberately and intentionally to Jesus, bringing it fully into His kingdom and under His rule. It seems so obvious now that we’ve stated it, but you would be surprised how often this vital step is overlooked (and then people wonder why their prayers don’t seem to be effective).
DEDICATE OURSELVES AFRESH TO GOD by renouncing every way wandered from Him. Present our lives, our gifting, and our calling completely to Jesus, to be filled again with his Spirit, to be His and His alone.
Think of consecration as “aligning” and “enforcing”. Aligning yourself, or the subject in question, with Jesus and all the laws of His kingdom, then enforcing His rule and those laws over the matter in question. The first steps, which we are now covering, are mostly the aligning part. But often the enforcing requires a bit more oomph – especially if you are having difficulties in a particular area – which brings me to the power of proclaiming on which I will share with you on tomorrow…….STAY TUNED
