Consecration

March 31, 2012

All practical power over sin and over men depends on maintaining closet communion. Those who abide in the secret place with God show themselves mighty to conquer evil, and strong to work and to war for God. They are seers who read His secrets; they know His will; they are the meek whom He guides in judgment and teaches His way. They are His prophets who speak for Him to others, and even forecast things to come. They watch the signs of the times and discern His tokens and read His signals.

But we never can prove the delights of His love, until all on the altar we lay.

The secret of the success of the Apostles lay not in what they did and said, but in the presence of Christ in them and with them. They saw with the eyes of Christ, felt with His heart, and worked with His energies. They were nothing; Christ was everything. Christ was living, breathing, and triumphing in their personal lives. Their entire nature being replete with His life, their spirits bathed in His light, and their souls kindled with the fires of His love, they moved in the midst of men as embodiments of supernatural power… Brethren, this is what we must be, if this mighty Empire (China) is to be moved through us. But to be this, the throne of grace must be our refuge, the secret place of the Most High must be our daily and hourly habitation.

When God is at the center . . . people naturally make the right choices because they are listening to His voice rather than the voice of their own selfish desires.

The world has yet to see what God can do with a man fully consecrated to him. By God’s help, I aim to be that man.

– DL Moody –

While often attributed to D.L. Moody, the quote was actually given by Henry Varley in a conversation he had with Moody. Several renditions of the quote have been given:

The world has not seen what God can do with a life fully yielded to Him.

The world has yet to see what God can do with and for and through and in and by the man who is fully and wholly consecrated to Him. I aim to be that man.

We shall not get revival by filling our churches with men, but by getting the men who already come to our churches filled with God.

All my devotion is an insult to God unless every bit of my practical life squares with Jesus Christ’s demands.
