Consecrations can sound weird. A few examples. God can tell you:
– Live a fasted life. Eat once a day – and twice on special occasions.

– No secular movies or music.
– No attending Happy Hour with your colleagues.
– Certainly no alcohol. Etc…

You would like to have called children – or you already have them.

Many years ago, I was watching a family reality show. This lady had been auditioning, but was yet to get any acting role.
One day, her agent called her that she had some major auditions coming up.
You don’t need more spiritual power. Or fire.
You need more tarrying capacity: The ability to stay in his presence until you are “endued with power” – and fire naturally falls.
You don’t need more money.
You need more earning and learning capacity. (Click on the image to read more.)
In my first year in the university, I got baptised in the Holy Spirit – and I fell in love with God. Obsessively. I didn’t want anything to come between us.

There was a certain girl in my group who would just watch. Reserved.
