Romans 12:1 “I APPEAL to you therefore, brethren, and beg of you in view of [all] the mercies of God, to make a decisive dedication of your bodies [presenting all your members and faculties] as a living sacrifice, holy (devoted, consecrated) and well pleasing to God, which is your reasonable (rational, intelligent) service and spiritual worship.”
My beloved this is a season in which I am calling you to spiritual maturity. It is time for you to grow up in the area of sacrificing self. The time has now come for you to allow Me to try you and test you; you must allow Me to search out any wicked or adverse way in your soul, cleansing you thoroughly and giving you a new and clean heart so that you can be used by Me in this hour. I have used the last season to condition your heart in many ways that will lead you into your destiny. I have given you free will, therefore the only sacrifice that you can truly offer Me is that of your submission of self; your way of doing, being and thinking. It is My heart’s desire that you would humble yourself and come to Me in obedient submission. It gives Me delight that you would empty yourself of self so that I can fill you up with Myself. Today I am calling you to place your entire life before Me. Hand yourself over freely and without reluctance. Give yourself to Me knowing that your Creator can take dead men’s bones and cause them to live again. I can take what you consider dead and of no worth and make it priceless in the use of My glory. I can take what man considers obsolete and useless and turn it into something of eternal value. You must come to the divine revelation that your potential is maximized only as you yield to My great hand because the Spirit who lives in you is greater than the spirit who lives in the world. It is only by My Spirit that you are free to experience new and abundant life. Your flesh responds to the natural and is motivated only by circumstances and situation in which it is gratified. But your spirit listens to, adheres to, is obedient to and submits and responds to the Spirit in which I Am gloried. I am calling My people to new levels in the spirit and only those who belong to the Spirit, and have their entire being submitted to the Spirit will be able to fully comprehend and function in this new level. Beloved the result of your complete consecration will be astounding to you and all who shall see and know you. As you are led forth by My Light you will have drawing power and many shall come into the kingdom because of you. You shall radiate in My prosperity and be filled with abundant joy. In My favor, pleasure and goodwill I have had mercy, love and pity for you and now you shall beautify the place of My sanctuary. You shall also be [so beautiful and prosperous as to be thought of as] a crown of glory and honor in the hand of the Lord, and a royal diadem [exceedingly beautiful] in the hand of your God. And you shall dwell in peace and righteousness all the days of your life and you shall be eternally clothed in My praise and salvation. And you shall not adorn yourselves any longer in the flesh or in worldly garments but I, Myself shall be your Glory and your Beauty. As a seed I have planted you watering you so that you bud and grow, multiplying in the radiance of My Son so that I may be glorified. (Romans 12:1-2) So here's what I want you to do, God helping you: Take your everyday, ordinary life—your sleeping, eating, going-to-work, and walking-around life—and place it before God as an offering. Embracing what God does for you is the best thing you can do for him. Don't become so well-adjusted to your culture that you fit into it without even thinking. Instead, fix your attention on God. You'll be changed from the inside out. Readily recognize what he wants from you, and quickly respond to it. Unlike the culture around you, always dragging you down to its level of immaturity, God brings the best out of you, develops well-formed maturity in you. The hour has come and the sound is going forth; you have been called to be fully consecrated committed, sanctified, dedicated and set-apart for My use. Let he who has an ear hear what the Spirit of the Lord is saying to His people today.
Ephesians 2:10 "For we are God's [own] handiwork (His workmanship), recreated in Christ Jesus, [born anew] that we may do those good works which God predestined (planned beforehand) for us [taking paths which He prepared ahead of time], that we should walk in them [living the good life which He preparranged and made ready for us to live]."
