What is prayer of consecration

In John Wesley travelled by ship to the colonies in America and got caught in a life-threatening story. He and the other Englishmen panicked, but the Moravians calmly sang hymns and prayed. John Wesley wrote a prayer of consecration that has inspired many other hearts to be strangely warmed by the love of God being manifest to them:. O Lord, may nothing dwell in my soul But your pure love alone. Till my every thought, word, and act be love. Paraphrased by Bill Gaultiere.

O Spirit of God, warm our hearts with the love of God and of Christ that we might be awakened to our opportunity to give our best to worship and serve you today and everyday. We ask Thy blessing upon those who have arisen to express their desire to be prepared for Thy coming.

As they leave this pavilion, may they seek Thee in earnest prayer. May they go in companies of two or three, to seek Thee. Thou hast said that where two or three are gathered in Thy name, there Thou wilt be. Oh, give them a spirit of earnest pleading for the pardon of their sins, that Thou mayest say to them, "Thy sins be forgiven thee. I ask Thee to pity every trembling soul in this congregation. I ask Thee, my Saviour, that Thou wilt awaken in the heart of every minister of the gospel, of every teacher, and of every one who professes to be Thy child, a desire for Thy Holy Spirit, that they may be endued with power, and that as they go from house to house, they may proclaim Thy truth.

Let Thy message come to us, that we may arouse our sensibilities, that we may realize the value of souls. We want that every one here today shall be saved. May the light that shines from the throne of God shine into the chambers of the mind and into the soul-temple. Merciful Redeemer, Thou knowest every one. Here are some who are weighted down with burdens that have rested heavily upon them.

May they link up with Thee. Praying with Power and Effect. Adapted from Moving Mountains , Chapter 8. Then I pray something like this: I consecrate my life again today to the Holy Spirit—I consecrate my gifting and my writing; I consecrate this book—every word, every paragraph, every page, all of the structure, the flow, the stories, the very spirit of it.

Consecrating Your Body Before the healing power of God can flow into a body, you have to re-present that body to God; you have to bring it under the loving rule of Jesus once again. So we pray something along these lines: I present my body to Jesus Christ as a living sacrifice; I present the members of my body to Jesus Christ as instruments of righteousness.
