The word consecrate means “to set apart.” It means “to be designated for a special purpose.” It means “to be completely dedicated to God. ”The Israelites were camped on the eastern banks of the Jordan River when God gave them this command: “Consecrate yourselves.” And because they obeyed, God delivered on the promise. He parted the Jordan River, and the Israelites walked through on dry ground. Consecration means we no longer call the shots. We give God veto power. His word is the final word, whether it’s Holy Scripture or the Holy Spirit. Either way, it’s no longer a selfish spirituality that asks God to serve our purposes. It’s all about serving His purposes so that His glory is revealed.
Consecration is death to self.
“The world has yet to see what God will do with and for and through and in and by the man who is fully and wholly consecrated to Him
