Podcasts about Consecration

In this powerful sermon, Apostle Jim Raley delivers a compelling message about the 'Josiah Generation'—a group called to rise with purpose and divine destiny. Drawing from the biblical story of King Josiah, Raley emphasizes the importance of consecration, repentance, and remembering God's word over our lives. With fervent calls to reject compromise and embrace holiness, he challenges listeners to fulfill their God-given potential. This sermon is a rallying cry for a new generation to break generational curses and live in the fullness of their calling.

Patrick tackles raw questions about faith and practice, jumping from the nuances of sainthood and martyrdom to the quirks of liturgical ritual. Listeners share struggles with family rifts, spiritual confusion, and the challenges of raising children with special needs in a parish pew, all while Patrick gives perspective, sometimes practical, sometimes straight from tradition. Thoughts shift rapidly, from theological details to heartfelt encouragement, as Patrick guides each caller through the unpredictable threads of Catholic life.

One of the sobering marks of the present state of the American Church is the flippancy with which we approach the Almighty. It seems that many professing Christians interpret God's grace toward us as permission to operate in various levels of slackness and irreverence. Many offer God their leftovers in life. Consecration is viewed as legalism and sacrificial service is labeled striving. Does it matter how we worship God? Does He care what we offer Him as long as we offer…something? A careful look at Malachi chapter one reminds us that the God who never changes expects an intentional, thoughtful response from those who say they belong to Him. Yes, Jesus paid it all, but that reality must never produce in us a mindless, cavalier approach to worship and service to God.

Consecration is an act of the will. Consecration is led by the Holy Spirit, for we are temples of the Holy Spirit. Consecration is an ongoing act of worship in the life of the believer. Human beings grow by degrees, either toward holiness or not.

Crystal Rivers | Word for Now | Oct 6, 2025 Life's true essence isn't found in possessions but in knowing Christ intimately and becoming like Him. You are already God's child—this discussion is settled. You carry divine DNA, and your journey is allowing these spiritual genes to manifest until it becomes undeniable that you belong to God. You carry an unusual enrichment of the Holy Spirit—Scripture calls this the "earnest" or "first fruits." There's a literal saturation of God's presence concentrated in you. Creation itself groans for your manifestation, and these groanings are captured in the seven feasts of Israel—actual times when the Holy Spirit's voice becomes more tangible in creation. When cosmic signs appear during these appointed times, discern what God is saying. Jesus submitted to this protocol: He died during Passover, rose during First Fruits, and the Spirit came on Pentecost. Develop spiritual intelligence. Numbers in Scripture—Job's seven sons and three daughters, his 7,000 sheep and 3,000 camels, Daniel's twenty-one day fast—reveal angelic operations and wisdom patterns that godly people trapped on earth through their walk with God. Multiple spiritual forces broadcast to you simultaneously, like earth's atmosphere: 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen. Each gas represents different spirits trying to communicate. Nitrogen isn't giving you life—oxygen is. Consecration increases the "oxygen" in your spiritual atmosphere, amplifying God's voice until He becomes the dominant influence. Apply the greenhouse effect: specific atmospheric conditions allow specific seeds to grow. Expose yourself to something's atmosphere through consecration, and that thing's wisdom blossoms in your life. Joshua was told to meditate on God's Word day and night so his way would be prosperous. Increase God's presence in your life and experience prosperity. Understand Kronos versus Kairos. Kronos is ordinary time under wickedness's influence—"the days are evil." But when filled with the Spirit, you break into Kairos—time under God's influence where His purposes manifest. This is redeeming time. Spiritual sight operates differently than natural sight. In the spiritual realm, you see by the light within you. Satan's light makes his deceptions appear normal. Under his light, Peter tried preventing Jesus from the cross. But under God's light, Jesus saw the joy set before Him. Once you can see something spiritually, it becomes tangible—it's just a matter of prolonged engagement. The ten plagues of Egypt weren't God directly killing but His light progressively infiltrating Egypt, revealing the pain demonic powers were already inflicting. Each plague represented increasing measures of God's presence. At the third plague, magicians encountered "the finger of God"—a threshold where they could no longer replicate God's presence. Consecration does this in your life: increases God's presence until darkness's tricks stop working. This same finger that wrote the Ten Commandments now writes on your heart through communion with God. Where the Spirit is Lord—the only one speaking—there is liberty. When you create that atmosphere, plagues break out: the death of this age's gods in your life. Things gripping your soul lose their hold. Strongholds are pulled down. Paul said if you live according to the flesh, you'll discover you're not truly alive. But if through the Spirit you mortify the deeds of the body, you will live. For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. Sonship is about God's glory influencing, ruling over, saturating you until your genetic correspondence with God manifests visibly. You're designed to be a true human being: a priest and king after the order of Melchizedek. Take advantage of strategic times like the Feast of Tabernacles—times when creation's groaning intensifies and the Holy Spirit's voice becomes more accessible. Consecrate yourself during these seasons through worship, meditation on God's Word, and fasting. Remember: repentance isn't saying "I'm sorry"—it's changing your mind. Transformation isn't trying harder; it's exposure to the right light. In God's light, Satan appears undesirable. In God's light, you see yourself as you truly are in Christ. The closer you draw to God, the more your sonship manifests, the less influence this age has over you, and the more you realize you're born of God, carrying His DNA, destined for glory. This is your inheritance. Walk in it. Zoom every weekday : http://www.caveadullam.org/zoom

The Pattern of God's Sovereignty in ScriptureThe events surrounding Christ and the conspiracy against Him should not surprise us when we consider the broader biblical narrative. From Adam and Eve's fall in the garden to the promise of a victorious offspring, Scripture consistently demonstrates humanity's failure to live by God's word alongside God's unwavering plan for redemption. Abraham's test with Isaac and the deliverance of Israel from Egypt highlight a recurring pattern: God's promises come to fruition through unexpected or seemingly impossible circumstances. Even in situations marked by human failure, sin, and death, God remains sovereign, orchestrating history toward His redemptive purpose.The Threat of Malicious MenIn the context of the Passover and the Feast of Unleavened Bread, the chief priests and scribes sought to kill Christ. These leaders, charged with upholding holiness, we engage in unholiness. They were conspiring in secret, out of fear of the crowds, rather than a genuine fear of the Lord. Their actions reveal a tragic distortion of human priorities: they were willing to reject God's appointed Messiah to preserve their own power and image. Judas, who aligned himself with them, illustrates the conscious surrender to evil that is possible when hearts turn from God. Here, Scripture reveals the stark reality of human sinfulness in contrast to God's ultimate control. This is showing a horrible state where men join to conspire with Satan literally.Christ as the Passover LambAmid conspiracies, chaos, and betrayal, Christ demonstrates His role as the Passover Lamb. Luke emphasizes the timing and preparation of the Passover meal, showing Christ's sovereign orchestration of events. Though Judas knew that the meal would take place, Christ provided just enough guidance for His disciples to prepare without compromising His redemptive plan. Christ proves that he is a prophet and he will lay down his life at the appointed time. Like the original Passover in Egypt, where the blood of the lamb saved God's people, Christ willingly submits to the suffering and betrayal that will lead to the cross, fulfilling God's plan without error or accident. He demonstrates that redemption comes through precise divine timing, not human schemes.Our Redemption and Consecration in HimChrist's work as the Passover Lamb extends beyond historical events; it consecrates and redeems His people. While Israel's festivals often fell short of their intended meaning due to human sin, Christ fulfills them perfectly, securing redemption once for all. He comes to undeserving people, covers their sins, and establishes a definitive exodus from death to life. Luke presents this to assure us that nothing in our lives surprises God because He is faithful and so powerful that he fulfills his promises. Our identity, consecration, and strength are found in Him, the Lamb of God, who calls us to bow the knee and live in the fullness of His redemption.

In this teaching, Samuel emphasizes the importance of anchoring prayer in biblical understanding and practice, using the upper room as a strong imagery. He discusses the significance of waiting upon the Lord and praying according to God's will, rather than personal desires. Samuel highlights the transformative power of waiting and prayer, which refine and prepare individuals for the fulfillment of God's promises. He draws parallels between the disciples' experience in the upper room and the process of spiritual growth, stressing the need for obedience, submission, and alignment with the Holy Spirit. Ultimately, Samuel encourages a prayer life that seeks God's will, allowing for personal transformation and a deeper connection with the divine.

In this conversation, Jason sits down with Ryan Johnson, pastor of Church Untitled in downtown Vancouver. Ryan shares openly about how the church began after the collapse of another, walking through seasons of anxiety and depression, and learning to cultivate a dependence on God while shepherding people who were hurting. What started with a small group meeting in the corner of a nightclub has grown into a worshipping community in the heart of the city marked by prayer, consecration, and God's presence.Jason and Ryan explore themes that matter deeply to pastors today, including:- Consecration before vision: The formative role of Joshua 3:5, focusing on internal formation and God's presence ahead of programs and plans.- Dependence vs. strategy: Learning to follow the Spirit's guiding, and how to keep choosing dependence even after growth and momentum arrive.- Worship as shepherding: How worship shapes us beyond emotion, trading what we feel for what we know of God, and the importance of extended spaces of prayer and song.- Ongoing healing for leaders and churches: Naming self-protection, practicing vulnerability, and letting love perfect what fear distorts in the life of a community.- Citywide unity and hunger: Stories of collaborative worship nights, overflowing prayer ministry, and a growing hunger for God across ages and backgrounds.If you've walked through church hurt, or are leading people who have, this episode offers an honest, hope-filled account of how God turns ruins into foundations and pain into worship.Show Notes- Church Untitled | https://www.churchuntitled.com/- Fall City Meetups⁠⁠ | https://www.thepastorate.ca/gatherings- Lead Pastors Fellowship⁠⁠ | https://www.thepastorate.ca/lpf⁠⁠- Fall 2025 Pastors Retreat at Barnabas Landing⁠⁠ | https://www.thepastorate.ca/events/pastorsretreatfall2025- The Pastorate Listener Survey⁠ | https://www.thepastorate.ca/surveyThank You to Our Episode SponsorSpecial thanks to the Canadian Bible Society for making this episode possible.

A Call to Consecration // 9-21-25

Before God does something amazing tomorrow, He calls you to prepare your heart today.

Join Apostle Jim Raley as he delivers a powerful sermon on the qualities of a 'dangerous believer.' Focusing on themes of faith, consecration, and spiritual warfare, this message encourages listeners to prioritize holiness and devotion. Raley emphasizes the importance of a surrendered will, a word-centered mindset, and a persistent prayer life. Be inspired to live a life set apart for God and ready to manifest His wonders.

Crystal Rivers | Open Book | Sep 16, 2025 The path of spiritual maturity unfolds through distinct stages, each requiring different types of spiritual nourishment and understanding. Just as children progress from milk to solid food, believers advance from basic forgiveness and grace to deeper levels of spiritual discernment and consecrated living. True spiritual growth involves three interconnected dimensions: worship as a lifestyle rather than mere ritual, consecration through separation from corrupting influences, and spiritual warfare against opposing forces. Worship encompasses all of life - every action done in acknowledgment of divine authority becomes an act of reverence. This foundation supports the development of genuine spiritual character. Consecration requires careful attention to what influences shape your thoughts, relationships, and daily choices. The ancient priestly laws illustrate principles of spiritual separation - avoiding contamination through unclean associations, maintaining purity of heart and mind, and developing discernment between what builds up and what corrupts. This involves evaluating relationships with those who claim faith but consistently live in ways that contradict spiritual principles. The process of spiritual cleansing happens through consistent engagement with transformative truth and the symbolic power of communion with divine life. Grace functions not as permission for moral compromise, but as empowerment to overcome destructive patterns and grow into spiritual maturity. This requires active participation in your own transformation rather than passive expectation of automatic change. Practical consecration extends to family relationships, emphasizing the importance of shared meals, prayer over food, observing rest, and creating sacred rhythms in ordinary life. These practices create space for spiritual formation and strengthen bonds between family members while establishing healthy boundaries with corrupting influences. The goal is developing the ability to discern between good and evil in subtle matters - not just obvious moral choices, but the complex decisions that either promote or hinder spiritual growth. This discernment comes through consistently choosing spiritual nourishment over spiritual junk food, building relationships that encourage growth rather than compromise, and maintaining connection to divine presence through regular spiritual disciplines. However, I should note that some interpretations of spiritual perfection or complete separation from others can become unhealthy if taken to extremes. Balanced spiritual growth involves both personal holiness and compassionate engagement with others who are also on their own spiritual journeys. Zoom every weekday : http://www.caveadullam.org/zoom

God is raising up specific mantles and anointings to usher in both revival and reformation in America, with a call for Rock Family Worship Center to embrace their Josiah anointing to bring transformation.• Evidence of a Third Great Awakening with over 200 university campuses experiencing spontaneous baptisms and conversions in 2024• Similar revival happening in the UK, predominantly led by men in their twenties reclaiming old church buildings• The Josiah mandate is a prophetic blueprint for bringing both revival and reformation• The four components of the cry of Josiah: consecration, confrontation, conviction, and calling• Consecration sets you apart and gives you authority to confront darkness• True reformers refuse to tolerate what previous generations normalized• Conviction comes when we're broken by God's Word rather than hardened by pride• Understanding your divine destiny transforms you more than hate, love, lust, or greed• Josiah discovered he was the fulfillment of a 300-year-old prophecy• Reformation happens when Josiahs arise and take their stand against compromiseThis is not a time for casual commitment but an all-in moment because the hour requires an all-in response.

Before we can take the land and enter the promises of God, there must be consecration. In ‘Three Moments of Encounter', Rev. Paul Jeyachandran shares the principles of Consecration before Conquest!

Revelation Dates: February – June, 1834 Revelation Places: Kirtland, Ohio and Fishing River, Missouri Section 102 - Historical Background: With the rapidly increasing membership of the church, Joseph needed help in administration. A meeting was called consisting of 62 brethren, and Joseph taught about the ancient councils and how they were operated under Moses and Peter, among others. Joseph had received in vision how Peter presided over councils. Joseph laid out the formation of a Church Council (later named High Council) to assist the First Presidency in the administration of the church. This section, rather than a direct revelation like other sections, is the record or minutes of this meeting.  Recap: A High Council will be organized, consisting of 12 High Priests and the First Presidency. Its purpose is to settle disputes that cannot be settled by the Bishop's Council. A quorum of at least 7 must be present to act. The members of the council were chosen and approved. The accused and the accuser will each be represented by half the council, selected by lot. The president will make the final decision but approval will require a majority of councilors to approve that decision. Section 103 - Historical Background: Joseph was deeply concerned for the saints in Jackson County, now that it was learned they had been completely driven from their homes. In Section 101, Joseph learned that at some point he would be required to lead “the strength of mine house” to Zion in order to “redeem” it. Seeking further understanding, comfort and direction, Joseph received this revelation as he petitioned the Lord. Recap: The Lord will pour out his wrath upon the enemies of His church, but only in his own due time. [26 years later, the Civil War ravished Jackson County until nothing was left standing.] A waiting time is required until (1) the wicked are fully ripe in iniquity, and (2) the slothful saints in Zion receive chastisement and repent sufficiently. If they do not repent, the saints will be subject to the kingdoms of the world and thrown down. In due time, Zion will be redeemed. It is decreed by God, for He will raise a powerful leader like unto Moses to accomplish it. This leader will be Joseph Smith. [Note: Because the saints failed to repent, the accomplishment of this decree was delayed, but will still occur in the future by Joseph Smith in his resurrected state, as promised in his patriarchal blessing.]   Joseph is to organize “Zions Camp,” to call up 500 men willing to risk their own lives on a mission of peace and goodwill to restore the fleeing saints to their own lands. If 500 do not heed the Lord's call, 300 will be accepted. If not 300 men, 100 will have to suffice. If at least 100 men cannot be gathered, the relief expedition will be abandoned. Section 104 - Historical Background: As leaders of the church prepared to leave Kirtland for “Zions Camp,” and not knowing if they would survive and return to Kirtland, concern was given over the pressing debts and temporal affairs of the church they were leaving behind. The saints had failed to live the Law of Consecration properly so they were lacking in resources, especially in building the temple. Joseph turned to the Lord for guidance. Recap: The purpose of the United Order is to be a blessing to the church and a benefit for the poor. But some of the saints are unfaithful, resulting in a cursing rather than a blessing. The innocent will be spared, but the guilty cannot escape God's wrath. Leaders are to remove transgressors from the Order. Each saint must be held accountable for their stewardship. The rich are to reach out and assist the poor, so that both may benefit and rejoice. The Lord directs the assignment of properties in the United Order according to faithfulness and usefulness. Because the saints in Zion (Missouri) have transgressed the Order and broken their covenants, their United Order with the saints in Kirtland will be dissolved. The Lord clarifies that all properties are His and the saints are stewards only. There shall be two separate treasuries, one for the sacred funds from the people's tithes for the printing of the scriptures, building of the temple and general works of the church; the other treasury will include proceeds from the properties consecrated to stewards to be used within the needs of the Order. All debts must be paid. The Lord will soften the hearts of their debtors. For this once, the Order is allowed to pledge the properties under stewardship in order to pay off their debts. Section 105 - Historical Background: To answer the Lord's call to rescue Zion, Joseph could only rally 100 men in Kirtland, while other leaders rallied another 100 men from outlying areas, making Zions Camp only 205 men. From this faithful little group, God will later staff his quorums of Apostles and Seventy. Though the group was small, Joseph could wait no longer to proceed. With clothing and provisions, this small group begain their 1,000 mile march to Independence to confront the mobs who greatly outnumbered them. However, they had a pledge from the Missouri Governor that the saints would receive a military escort back to the lands of the homeless saints. At a place called Fishing River, Joseph learned the Governor now refused to honor his pledge. Joseph reaches out to the Lord for directions how they should proceed to redeem Zion.  Recap: Were it not for the transgressions of the church, Zion would have been redeemd already. But the church members have not learned to be obedient, impart of their substance to the poor, and are not united. Therefore, the saints will be chastened and Zion will not be redeemed for now. The leaders are to vigorously teach the saints more perfectly until they are spiritually prepared. God will fight the battles of the saints, but they must first become a righteous people. Those of Zion's Camp who want to stay in Zion may do so, but refrain from boasting of God's revelations. God will soften the hearts of the people, giving the church time to prepare for Zion's redemption. Purchase as much land as possible. Finish the temple in Kirtland and receive endowments there. Those who will redeem Zion will not be called, but will, at that time, be carefully chosen.

The Burn of Consecration is a powerful call to maturity and surrender as God's refining fire removes hindrances and transforms your life.

Are your "worry dolls" bringing you peace or opening doors to the enemy? Are these Guatemalan worry dolls a child's comfort or a gateway to spiritual attack? In today's episode of the Vertical Relationship Show, Melia exposes the dark side and a real experience she encountered in bringing these innocent-looking dolls into her home. Worry dolls are connected to the Maya Princess, Ixpucane, connected to a sun god, and are used as a tool for children to offload anxieties, fears, and nightmares. While their intended purpose is to alleviate worry – children whisper their problems to the dolls and place them under their pillows for help ... a darker side, often overlooked!

What happens when God reshapes a life? Bishop Joel Holmes shares profound insights from nearly six decades of ministry on the spiritual transformation process that turns believers into vessels of divine purpose.Drawing from Psalm 51:5, Bishop Holmes illustrates how we're all "shapen in iniquity" at birth, requiring divine intervention to become who God intends. Using the metaphor of wood being bent to create a concert grand piano, he explains how our resistance to change must give way to God's transformative work.The heart of this message explores the critical connection between consecration and spiritual power. Against conventional wisdom suggesting that relaxing standards leads to church growth, Bishop Holmes reveals how his unwavering commitment to holiness—taught with love and brokenness—actually catalyzed extraordinary expansion in his ministry. "When you move off from consecration," he warns, "you lose the cutting anointing that breaks the yoke of sin."Bishop Holmes shares four essential pillars for building God's kingdom: prioritizing prayer (including regular fasting), cultivating genuine love for people, engaging in consistent outreach, and developing Spirit-filled teaching. He culminates with a powerful insight from Numbers 12 about God speaking "mouth to mouth"—describing those transcendent moments when divine truth flows directly through us, bypassing our intellectual filters.Whether you're facing resistance to change, struggling with worldly influences, or seeking greater spiritual power, this episode provides transformative truths that will reshape your understanding of holiness, consecration, and divine purpose. Listen now and discover how embracing the "foolishness" of the gospel unlocks its supernatural power.We love to hear from our listeners!
