Some year ago God spoke to me as I drove through a village on the Suffolk / Norfolk county border.
God said I want you to visit someone in this village

Consecration! Josh 3 v 5, Sanctify yourselves (separate yourself from the world)
John 17 sanctify yourself with the word.Cleanliness inside. Sin in this world defiles us.
We need to be clean to follow God. Gal 5 Live Holy Lives.John 1v9
“Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knows us not, because it knew him not. Beloved, now are we the sons of God.”
1Jo_3:1,1Jo_3:2
“Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us.”
Consider who we were, and what we feel ourselves to be even now when corruption is powerful in us, and you will wonder at our adoption. Yet we are called “the sons of God.” What a high relationship is that of a son, and what privileges it brings! What care and tenderness the son expects from his father, and what love the father feels towards the son! But all that, and more than that, we now have through Christ. As for the temporary drawback of suffering with the elder brother, this we accept as an honour: “Therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.” We are content to be unknown with him in his humiliation, for we are to be exalted with him. “Beloved, now are we the sons of God.” That is easy to read, but it is not so easy to feel. How is it with your heart this morning? Are you in the lowest depths of sorrow? Does corruption rise within your spirit, and grace seem like a poor spark trampled under foot? Does your faith almost fail you? Fear not, it is neither your graces nor feelings on which you are to live: you must live simply by faith on Christ. With all these things against us, now-in the very depths of our sorrow, wherever we may be-now, as much in the valley as on the mountain, “Beloved, now are we the sons of God.” “Ah, but,” you say, “see how I am arrayed! my graces are not bright; my righteousness does not shine with apparent glory.” But read the next: “It doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him.” The Holy Spirit shall purify our minds, and divine power shall refine our bodies, then shall we see him as he is.
GOD CAN ONLY BE APPROACHED THROUGH CHRIST: "There is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus" (1 Tim. 2v5).
Neither Abraham, nor Mary, nor Mohamed, nor Buddha, nor any other human being who ever lived
can answer prayer.
Only through faith in Christ alone is there hope.
PRAY NOW to Jesus Christ who died to save you.
REPENT OF ALL YOUR SINS turn away from them, to God.Whatever it costs,heaven is cheap at any cost!
Life is short. ETERNITY IS FOREVER!
PRAY NOW
LORD JESUS YOU DIED FOR MY SINS AT CALVARY,
CLEANSE ME OF ALL MY SINS BY THE POWER OF YOUR BLOOD, COME INTO MY LIFE
AND HELP ME TO FOLLOW YOU FOR THE REST OF MY DAYS, IN YOUR PRECIOUS NAME
AMEN.
