It’s Over! Now What?

When Jesus died on the cross and rose again on the third day (just like He stated that He would), the disciples were probably getting ready to go back to their former careers. They had so doubted that He would rise again that when it was reported to them that the resurrection had actually occurred, they still were in doubt (Luke 24:6-11). These men had a tremendous three year journey with Jesus. How could they possibly go back to their former lives?

We’ve just completed a ten day consecration in which God spoke to us individually and collectively. Collectively, He informed us through Rev. Verna that we need to quiet our minds and emotions, and awaken our spirits toward the things that God considers important. On last Sunday, God informed us that this was the season of our coming back from adversity or failure to His place of success.

In addition, those who participated in the fast lost weight and/or started eating much healthier. The question is: Now that the consecration is over, now what? Are we going to go back to our former lifestyles of being directed by our minds and our emotions as if God never spoke? Are we going to go back to living with an attitude of defeat, feeling like we’ll never come back from adversity? Are we going to go back and put on the weight we’ve lost by returning to our unhealthy eating habits from the last decade? How the next two months unfold for our lives will be entirely up to us.

Our next consecration will be a little longer: 21 days to be exact. It is scheduled to begin on Wednesday, March 10th and will take place during the Lenten Season. In the meantime, would you kindly post your thoughts and testimonies on how the ten day consecration has impacted your life? I believe your experience will be an encouragement to others.
