Consecration

Be Ye Holy for I Am Holy 1 Peter 1:17 KJV

Consecrate

There are two points:

1. It is the act of dedicating onself to the service and worship of a day.

2. To santify oneself to give service to God; to be set apart to worship and honour him.

We must learn how to santify ourselves and consecrate ourselves unto the Lord. We can only do this through the Word of God. His Word is Life and more abundantly.

Consecration is one realizing we need God in our lives and we can't live right without him. This drives us to seeking God in prayer because ofthe longing and hunger for more of him. Prayer ushers us into consecration because we must release the things of the world in order to enter into his presence. In the Bible when you entered into theTabernacle, you will find that can't just enter into the Holy of Holies, but there are requirements that you must do before you can enter into his presence.

We must receive an outer cleansing and a inner cleansing of our spirit and heart. Living with purpose to please God, consecrating and dedicating ourselves to God in all areas of our lives. Meaning we do not belong to ourselves, we belong to God. Therefore, we can't do everything and whatever we want to do because he owns us. Yes, we were bought with a price. Therefore, glorify God in your body and spirit which is God's. 1 Corinthians 6:20 vs kjv

Consecration is the fruit of prayer. Prayer brings forth consecration. Constant consistent prayer is the tool which consecrates in maintaining his attitude, keeps him alive to God and aids him in doing the work of God. It helps to reveal his will and purpose to the believer. It helps to consecrate your mind so you can walk in obedience to his Word.

Once you have a taste of his presence and dwell in it through praise and worship it creates a drive to see him daily. Prayer teaches you how to enter in his presence and how to bring your cares to him. We must come before him in a humble spirit. There is a way to come into his presence and honor him. Prayer teaches you how to learn who he is and the power of prayer.

It is a blessing when we take time and make a sacrifice to pray. Try doing these things:

1. Devote yourself to prayer, being watchful and thankful. Colossians 4:2 kjv

2. Humble yourself under the mighty hand of God 1 Peter 5:6 vs kjv

3. Seek God for your answers (not man).

3. Wait on him - I will wait to see what the Lord says and How he will answer. Habakkuk 2:2 kjv
