God gives us commands to perform in the natural, though they seem foolish, do them! Follow His complete instructions as He spoke them, and believe by faith that those things that were held up in the spirit realm has to be loosed and set free and brought subject by your obedience to God.
This is why we are learning discipline, to cause our flesh to come into alignment with the will of God for our life. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, spiritual wickedness in high places, and against the rulers of darkness of this age. And by obeying what God says to do in the natural realm we can come against these strongholds, mindsets, holding patterns and things that are being held up in the spirit realm.
God says I have given Jericho into your hand, its King, and its mighty men of valor. In other words the principalities and the strong holds I have given into your hand. All you have to do is march around the city all you (women) of war you shall go around the city once. This you shall do (6 months). And seven priests (you) shall bear seven trumpets of ram’s horns (prayer) before the ark. But the seventh day (the last day) you shall march around the city seven times and the priest shall blow the trumpets. It shall come to pass, when (we) make a long blast with the ram’s horn, and when you hear the sound of the trumpet, that all the people shall shout with a great shout; then the wall (strongholds, mindsets, holding patterns) will fall flat! And (we) shall go up every (woman) straight before (her). Joshua 6:2-5
When this is over your past obstacles will no longer be standing in your way. No more delay, no more waiting, no more hindrance, no more doubting God, no more struggling to be saved, there will be nothing else blocking you. Rise up and Go forward!
But you must make it through this consecration! You’re going to use the foolish things to confound the wise. People will think you’re crazy going on a six month consecration, they’re going to mock you, but you have to know, that you know, that you know, God has called you to this for such a time as now. And God is going to perfect everything that concerns you. You have come to a place where you are ready to do something you never did to obtain some things you never had!
Each young woman’s turn came to go in to King Ahasuerus after she had completed twelve month’s preparations, according to the regulations for the women, for thus were the days of their preparation appointed: six months with oil of myrrh, and six months with perfumes and preparations for beautifying women. Thus prepared, each young woman went to the King, and she was given what ever she desired…Ester 2:12-13
God is saying to you that there must be a preparation that takes place before you enter in this next season of your life. During the preparation God will be cleansing you, and washing you so He may anoint you with oil and cloth you with embroidered cloth… Eze 16:9-10. Once you have been washed and cleansed with the water of His word He may present you to Himself not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing…Eph 6:26-27.
Naomi told Ruth to wash, anoint herself with oil, and put on her best garments before she presented herself to Boaz…Ruth 3:3. This consecration process is necessary before God can release you into your next level of life.
There are some things that are in you that are hindering your progress in God and in life, and you must go through this preparation process in order to obtain your personal victories and achievements.
It’s not the act of you consecrating that will cause you to get to your expected end, but the work of discipline through out this consecration that is going to get you there. This will not be easy but we are going to go through this together and be prayerful for one another while we walk through this consecration process. Galatians 6:9 And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in do season we shall reap if we do not lose heart.
