1. Grace Apostolic Church Consecration 2019
Bishop Pendleton Pastor

2. Consecration Defined
CONSECRATION - Persons or things being separated to or belonging to God. They are holy or sacred. They are set apart for the service of God. It suggests setting apart and personal sanctification.

3. Fasting Focus
Pursue Jesus: Fall in love and be consumed by His overwhelming presence.

4. Fasting Focus Scriptures
2 Chronicles 7:14
14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. 

5. Fasting Focus Scriptures Cont.
2 Corinthians 6:16-18
16 And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. 17 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you, 18 And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.

6. Consecration Goals
Renew and recommit to the total surrender to the Lordship of Jesus in every part of your life.
To personally re-focus on sincerely pursuing Jesus, with the expectation that Jesus will answer and show up supernaturally in your life, family, job, and your areas of influence.
To come together as a church with one accord with the anticipation and expectation to see the glory of Jesus in our services. We are looking for Jesus to show up.

7. Biblical Patterns That Produce Success
True repentance is required.
True sacrifice is required. You have to show Jesus that you want Him.
True praise and worship is required.

Absolute Fast. No Food or Drink from Midnight To 4:00 PM

Separation from Movies, TV, Games, Social Media (Facebook, Instagram, etc.) Separation from entertainment in general. Separate from needless talking and joking. Keep your mind on the Lord.
We pray on Wednesday nights of the Fast days. But on the last week of the fast days before the consecration we come out to pray Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday to pray.
Note the order of service could change. It is our endeavor to let the Holy Ghost be in charge. That might mean starting with teaching and then prayer afterwards.
