The Daily Price You Must Pay to Break Free from Old Appetites, Lusts & Desires
What is holiness? One, it means that I am separated unto God. I want to tell us the meaning of this one, of this meaning. That doesn't mean I don't go to work, that doesn't mean I don't go to Target, to Walmart, that doesn't mean I don't visit people, but this is what it means.
I can only do what God wants me to do. Can you see that life? As I go to the office, they may want me to do something to their accounts in order to manipulate a few things. It's unfortunate, I cannot do that because I am separated unto God.
I can only be a party to that which God approves. If God does not approve it, I'm not part of it. And I hope you know if you live that way, you might lose a few jobs.
You might lose a few jobs, you might lose favor, you might lose promotion because everyone that wants to live godly in this present world will suffer persecution. So, I am separated unto God. Only God can operate me.
So, the things that God cannot do, God would not approve, I cannot be doing because I am separated unto God. Two, God saturates me with himself. This saturation that God does, this is what changes my desires.
Are you there? Maybe before someone gave his life to Christ, he had 14 girlfriends. They were spread across the US. One in Arizona, right there.
The other one in San Francisco, El Paso. He was busy. May God give you understanding.
Now he comes to the Lord, so he has an appetite for women. But you see, because he separates himself to the Lord, and I'm not saying he may not struggle initially. You are not with me.
You see, that struggle, the struggle he is struggling, is a proof that he is born again. He fell one or two times and all of that, but he did not stay there because something inside did not allow him to stay there. That's a proof that he is born again.
Now, the reason why he will find victory is because he comes to a point in his separation when God now saturates with himself. He will now discover that the things that held him bound before, he naturally has victory. He will think that he is the one that has become more holy.
He will know that it is God that is saturating him with himself. So when God begins to, this is the organic aspect of holiness, when God begins to saturate him with himself, his desires will begin to change. Somebody that knows him, when he used to make flights, he would make flights to California, L.A., Hollywood.
So the people that know him in that ring, when they see him as a creature that is saturated by God, his desires have changed. Are you following? His perspective has changed. His appetite has changed.
You see him running for Bible study, running for prayer meeting, 10 hours. The people that knew him before would say, you see, because he is saturated with God, God is the one that is responsible for the new desires that drives him. Although he doesn't know that very heavy supernatural things are taking place in his life, but he noticed that he has desire to go for 10 hours.
He wants to be in Bible study. He almost hit someone because he was trying to make sure he arrives early. That's someone that will be in Arizona in the heat of the summer.
When plastic melts, he's dead. Amen. His desires have changed.
The reason why your desires change is because you are saturated. So he's saturating your vessel. That is the proof that he accepted your consecration.
Then he begins to saturate you. Your appetite changes. And then in one year, in two years, you yourself know you have changed.
You know, it's easy for people to know when they change becomes so much that you know. How many of you, after you started eating 7 hours prayer and 10 hours prayer, you know that you change? You see, it's the saturation. It's loud.
It's becoming intense. Your desires have changed. You know what happened to you? You have been made, that's what we call, you have been made a virgin again.
That's what we call the second hand virgin. This is a virginity that has come by reason of Holy Spirit transformation. And when we are giving you out to a guy to marry you, we know that that past doesn't exist again.
And even the man will testify. He'll come and say, ah, you gave me something. You gave me something.
May the Lord give you understanding. So, so do you now realize the man said that consecration is a direct fruit. No, no, no.
Consecration is a life of personal holiness. In which a believer is separated unto God and can no longer participate in anything that God has not inspired. Are you there? So his taste buds, taste buds, taste buds are changed.
There's this guy, there's this guy. He's one of us, but he's in another nation. He's not in the U.S. He had all the brands of cigarettes in Africa.
I don't know the brands here. He has sampled all of them. So if he smells root mass, so this is, this is, this root mass, this root mass, this root mass.
If he smells benzene ahedges, this is, this is, this is benzene ahedges. So he has been, in fact, one time he was preaching to somebody, but he had sticks of cigarettes in his throat. Oh God, oh God.
And that was how God began to saturate him and saturate him. He was able to go beyond root mass and benzene ahedges and saturate him. And the time now came, he had to counsel, I think it was, yeah, counsel with somebody in a shop somewhere.
And somebody was with cigarettes. He almost threw up. Because, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Spirit, when the Holy Spirit is done with dealing with that appetite, the things you used to enjoy before. So that life is what E.M. Barnes calls the consecrated life. It means that we cannot separate the life of personal holiness from the consecrated life.
So if you, if you are consecrated, your life will be going in the direction of holiness. He said he can no longer participate in anything that God has not inspired. Consecrated believers always sense the need to confirm if God is in a thing before getting involved.
So someone comes, they say he's a billionaire. He's been, he has five companies and money is just flowing. And he's saying that this is the lady that I want to get married.
And then the lady said, you hold on. We've seen your type before. Well, let's go and find out from the Lord if, because some of you will be happier if you, with less money.
Or you don't know. You get into that arrangement, you become a piece of furniture. At first, for the first two years, you'll be going around like a model.
Then that's all you will have. So you see, the person now goes to check. And then God now says, you know what? You cannot fulfill my purpose in that arrangement.
And you'll find the person saying no to something that looks flashy. And the rest of the people says you are mad. Consecration will make people say you are mad.
Because you have a different perspective. Don't be afraid of being called mad. Because what it means is that you are no longer like your age, your eon, your generation.
You are different. And the reason for your difference is because you are separated unto God. Every man separated unto God is called different.
If in a day where pastors are merchants, pastors are unjust, pastors are not in the service of Jesus, you look like them. It means you lost your consecration. Because in that day, you are supposed to look different.
If it is true that you are separated unto God. Sometimes the accurate might be the few. So if you are not secure enough in Jesus to be different, it means you have not embraced the life of consecration.
So holiness has two sides. So this side is sanctify yourself, that's consecration. Then the Lord will sanctify you, that is saturation.
It is these two things that make for the sanctified life. Someone that is giving himself to the Lord every day through prayer. Are you there? And then the Lord is possessing him and saturating him.
He's possessing him. That cycle is a cycle of the sanctified life. If that man stands close to the enemy, the enemy will scream.
Because he's not of this world. Satan has no plans to meet such people on earth. He's not of this world.
He's saturated with God. The things that will happen if God were present will happen in his presence. Because through the process of giving himself and God sanctifying him, him and God are becoming one.
This is the greatest gospel. And it is when people are sanctified like this. Yeah? You have a question? Okay.
Please equip him with a microphone. Yes? So as far as the consecrated life is concerned, does this mean that our personality will change? And what are some things that we can do to manage our emotions? Tell me. We must be talking what we are talking within a context.
You have a spirit. Is that true? You have a soul which consists of your mind. It consists of your will and what? Emotions.
Then you have what? A body. Is that true? Your body has what we call appetites. Is that true? These appetites, A, is the need to rest.
Rest is an appetite. B, thirst is an appetite. C, hunger is an appetite.
D, the need to see is an appetite. Need to see. That's how people got into pornography.
Because they want to see something. D, sex is an appetite. Yeah, I believe I got all of them here.
What? Sleep, that's rest. So when you are tired, your body begins to communicate. Is that true? It doesn't say, ah, I'm tired.
No, but it begins to communicate. And then you read the language. And that language, what it communicates in rest is different from thirst.
Thirst is different from hunger. You get that? Good. This body here, sin, which is a nature, the nature of Satan is what we call sin.
Sin wants to govern all of these appetites that are in your body. And then provide a legitimate ground for you to honor these appetites above the instructions of the Holy Ghost. Just like Satan came to Jesus on the appetite of hunger and said, if you are the son of God, turn these stones into bread so that you can satisfy your what? Okay, this is my class.
You are not interested in any of that. Can you say that? So the devil wants to use these appetites as a means of dethroning the Holy Spirit and refusing him a place of authority in your life. When he's calling you to pray in the night, the devil, sin will activate rest.
And this rest will be so compelling. So that you now convince yourself that, ah, I need rest now. I need rest.
You know the Holy Ghost is calling you to stand before him, but sin was able to convince you to disobey the Holy Ghost using what? Rest as an excuse. So that day, you're yielding to rest, to sleep. That day, sleep, that day was sin.
Because in accepting to sleep, you rebelled against the promptings of the Holy Spirit. Are you still following me? So I want you to see this problem. We have a problem.
This one is happening in your body, the appetites. And the devil wants to hold you captive from that standpoint. That's not all.
So when I have your mind, the old mind that you had when you were in downtown, that old mind does not leave. That old mind is still there. The old emotion that you had, are you following me? That you love, you love too much.
You love on the train, you are loving. On the airplane, you are loving. In economy cabin, you are loving, you are loving.
Jesus, may Lord help us. Now this is it. When the saturation begins, and God begins to saturate you, the object, the purpose of saturating you is to make you holy.
The first thing he will begin to do is that he will begin to work on your mind. He will begin to renew that saturation. It will begin to do what? Renew your mind.
The saturation will begin to stabilize your emotion. The saturation will begin to encourage you to surrender. Surrender your will to his own will.
Are you following me? These things will not happen. You don't know how stubborn we are. You believe that your small brain is so intelligent, so wise.
Then God will allow you to use your brain. You use it, then you will not fail. Then you will not know that you cannot depend on the brain.
Even though the brain is still there, you will still want to seek God. And then God now shows the way before you begin to apply the brain. It means your mind, you are having spiritual experiences that has informed the fact that God is beyond your brain, and you will need to still seek his face before you chart your course.
Are you following me? Now in the emotion area, you will go and love. You will love the Rolling Stone and you will love the person with all your heart because you believe that if you love enough, things will work. Then this Rolling Stone that you have invested so much love on will just walk away.
Then you will now discover that you were the only one loving. And then you will now be willing to allow God to govern your emotions. And then for the strong will type, you will now hit somebody and the person will now die.
So you will now pray and say, God if you can raise this woman. And then she will sneeze and wake up. You will now know that you need to surrender it.
All of these things are happening to you because God is saturating you. As he is saturating you, he is trying to defeat your stronghold. And it will happen through actions, activities, situations and circumstances that are beyond your control.
But he is the one that is at work. It might look serious, terrible, you are on the bed, your blood pressure has gone up. He allowed it so that he can defeat your emotion.
There is a stronghold, you have to defeat it. So that the demons that come to provoke that emotion, when it is stabilized, they can no longer relate with that realm. Are you there? So the name of that process on your mind is called renewal.
That's what it is. The name here is called surrender. The name here is called stabilization.
And then in this chamber, he drives up the authority that these chambers have. So that none of this can influence you. When the Holy Spirit says, stand before me, you are resting, you are tired, but you are obedient enough in heart to take the first step, to speak the first tongue, and to wait for him to strengthen you with might by his Spirit in your inner man.
You will now discover that that rest, that feeling of rest was a lie, was a shadow. It doesn't have true foundations. So if you rebel against it, it will fizzle out.
And that's how you feel lost. It's on you. Lost.
You are looking. It doesn't have any foundations. If you decide to ignore it, it will fizzle out.
It has no foundation. Because God has already crucified the flesh. So the flesh no longer has foundations.
You can ignore it. Nothing will happen. Because it's not real.
It's a shadow. When it begins to saturate you more, then you begin to discover that there is life beyond appetite. Are you there? He begins to saturate you more.
The things that used to control you. You can't sleep. Don't worry.
Don't worry. Don't worry. Just ask him to help you.
A day will come, your sleep will be nothing because you are saturated. This thing is not a miracle. It will be gradual as if you are growing.
And a day will come, they offer you free sex. You say no. You know why? Because you are saturated.
Nobody can make you like that, only God. And the process of him making you like that begins with you giving over yourself through the instrumentality of prayer. That's the vision that God has for every one of us.
So the man that has attained the sanctified life is somebody that Satan needs to weep about because Satan cannot manipulate him. Consecration is more than a spiritual activity. It is a lifestyle of personal holiness.
At its core, holiness means being separated unto God. This does not mean withdrawing from society or avoiding everyday responsibility. It means living with the conviction that only what God approves can have a place in your life.
A consecrated believer is not controlled by culture, pleasure, opportunities, or personal gain, but by the will of God. The journey of consecration begins when a person willingly gives himself to God. But it does not stop there.
As that surrender continues through prayer, fellowship, and obedience, God begins to saturate that person's life with his presence. This divine saturation gradually changes desires, appetites, perspectives, and priorities. Things that once seemed attractive begin to lose their grip, while spiritual things become increasingly precious.
This transformation is not merely self-discipline or human effort. It is the work of God within a yielded heart. The believer discovers that victory over old habits, sinful desires, and destructive patterns comes because God is actively shaping his nature from the inside out.
The more God fills a person, the more their lives reflect his character. Consecration also produces a different mindset. Before making decisions, the believer seeks to know whether God is involved.
Even when attractive opportunities present themselves, he is willing to walk away if they do not align with God's purposes. Because of this, consecrated people may appear strange to others, but their difference is evidence that they belong to God. The sanctified life is the combination of two realities, man separating himself unto God, and God saturating that man with himself.
As this process continues, God renews his mind, stabilizes emotions, and teaches the will to submit to his leadership. The appetites and desires that once dominated a person's life gradually lose their power. Eventually, the believer begins to live above the control of the flesh and become increasingly governed by the Holy Spirit.
Such a person becomes difficult for the enemy to manipulate because his life is no longer driven by impulses, emotions, or worldly desires, but by a growing union with God. This is the vision of consecration, a life so surrendered and saturated with God that his nature becomes visible through every aspect of a person's life. Thank you for Listening.

As that surrender continues through prayer, fellowship, and obedience, God begins to saturate that person's life with his presence. This divine saturation gradually changes desires, appetites, perspectives, and priorities. Things that once seemed attractive begin to lose their grip, while spiritual things become increasingly precious.
This transformation is not merely self-discipline or human effort. It is the work of God within a yielded heart. The believer discovers that victory over old habits, sinful desires, and destructive patterns comes because God is actively shaping his nature from the inside out.
The more God fills a person, the more their lives reflect his character. Consecration also produces a different mindset. Before making decisions, the believer seeks to know whether God is involved.
Even when attractive opportunities present themselves, he is willing to walk away if they do not align with God's purposes. Because of this, consecrated people may appear strange to others, but their difference is evidence that they belong to God. The sanctified life is the combination of two realities, man separating himself unto God, and God saturating that man with himself.
As this process continues, God renews his mind, stabilizes emotions, and teaches the will to submit to his leadership. The appetites and desires that once dominated a person's life gradually lose their power. Eventually, the believer begins to live above the control of the flesh and become increasingly governed by the Holy Spirit.
Such a person becomes difficult for the enemy to manipulate because his life is no longer driven by impulses, emotions, or worldly desires, but by a growing union with God. This is the vision of consecration, a life so surrendered and saturated with God that his nature becomes visible through every aspect of a person's life. Thank you for Listening.

The Daily Price You Must Pay to Break Free from Old Appetites, Lusts & Desires
What is holiness? One, it means that I am separated unto God. I want to tell us the meaning of this one, of this meaning. That doesn't mean I don't go to work, that doesn't mean I don't go to Target, to Walmart, that doesn't mean I don't visit people, but this is what it means.
I can only do what God wants me to do. Can you see that life? As I go to the office, they may want me to do something to their accounts in order to manipulate a few things. It's unfortunate, I cannot do that because I am separated unto God.
I can only be a party to that which God approves. If God does not approve it, I'm not part of it. And I hope you know if you live that way, you might lose a few jobs.
You might lose a few jobs, you might lose favor, you might lose promotion because everyone that wants to live godly in this present world will suffer persecution. So, I am separated unto God. Only God can operate me.
So, the things that God cannot do, God would not approve, I cannot be doing because I am separated unto God. Two, God saturates me with himself. This saturation that God does, this is what changes my desires.
Are you there? Maybe before someone gave his life to Christ, he had 14 girlfriends. They were spread across the US. One in Arizona, right there.
The other one in San Francisco, El Paso. He was busy. May God give you understanding.
Now he comes to the Lord, so he has an appetite for women. But you see, because he separates himself to the Lord, and I'm not saying he may not struggle initially. You are not with me.
You see, that struggle, the struggle he is struggling, is a proof that he is born again. He fell one or two times and all of that, but he did not stay there because something inside did not allow him to stay there. That's a proof that he is born again.
Now, the reason why he will find victory is because he comes to a point in his separation when God now saturates with himself. He will now discover that the things that held him bound before, he naturally has victory. He will think that he is the one that has become more holy.
He will know that it is God that is saturating him with himself. So when God begins to, this is the organic aspect of holiness, when God begins to saturate him with himself, his desires will begin to change. Somebody that knows him, when he used to make flights, he would make flights to California, L.A., Hollywood.
So the people that know him in that ring, when they see him as a creature that is saturated by God, his desires have changed. Are you following? His perspective has changed. His appetite has changed.
You see him running for Bible study, running for prayer meeting, 10 hours. The people that knew him before would say, you see, because he is saturated with God, God is the one that is responsible for the new desires that drives him. Although he doesn't know that very heavy supernatural things are taking place in his life, but he noticed that he has desire to go for 10 hours.
He wants to be in Bible study. He almost hit someone because he was trying to make sure he arrives early. That's someone that will be in Arizona in the heat of the summer.
When plastic melts, he's dead. Amen. His desires have changed.
The reason why your desires change is because you are saturated. So he's saturating your vessel. That is the proof that he accepted your consecration.
Then he begins to saturate you. Your appetite changes. And then in one year, in two years, you yourself know you have changed.
You know, it's easy for people to know when they change becomes so much that you know. How many of you, after you started eating 7 hours prayer and 10 hours prayer, you know that you change? You see, it's the saturation. It's loud.
It's becoming intense. Your desires have changed. You know what happened to you? You have been made, that's what we call, you have been made a virgin again.
That's what we call the second hand virgin. This is a virginity that has come by reason of Holy Spirit transformation. And when we are giving you out to a guy to marry you, we know that that past doesn't exist again.
And even the man will testify. He'll come and say, ah, you gave me something. You gave me something.
May the Lord give you understanding. So, so do you now realize the man said that consecration is a direct fruit. No, no, no.
Consecration is a life of personal holiness. In which a believer is separated unto God and can no longer participate in anything that God has not inspired. Are you there? So his taste buds, taste buds, taste buds are changed.
There's this guy, there's this guy. He's one of us, but he's in another nation. He's not in the U.S. He had all the brands of cigarettes in Africa.
I don't know the brands here. He has sampled all of them. So if he smells root mass, so this is, this is, this root mass, this root mass, this root mass.
If he smells benzene ahedges, this is, this is, this is benzene ahedges. So he has been, in fact, one time he was preaching to somebody, but he had sticks of cigarettes in his throat. Oh God, oh God.
And that was how God began to saturate him and saturate him. He was able to go beyond root mass and benzene ahedges and saturate him. And the time now came, he had to counsel, I think it was, yeah, counsel with somebody in a shop somewhere.
And somebody was with cigarettes. He almost threw up. Because, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Spirit, when the Holy Spirit is done with dealing with that appetite, the things you used to enjoy before. So that life is what E.M. Barnes calls the consecrated life. It means that we cannot separate the life of personal holiness from the consecrated life.
So if you, if you are consecrated, your life will be going in the direction of holiness. He said he can no longer participate in anything that God has not inspired. Consecrated believers always sense the need to confirm if God is in a thing before getting involved.
So someone comes, they say he's a billionaire. He's been, he has five companies and money is just flowing. And he's saying that this is the lady that I want to get married.
And then the lady said, you hold on. We've seen your type before. Well, let's go and find out from the Lord if, because some of you will be happier if you, with less money.
Or you don't know. You get into that arrangement, you become a piece of furniture. At first, for the first two years, you'll be going around like a model.
Then that's all you will have. So you see, the person now goes to check. And then God now says, you know what? You cannot fulfill my purpose in that arrangement.
And you'll find the person saying no to something that looks flashy. And the rest of the people says you are mad. Consecration will make people say you are mad.
Because you have a different perspective. Don't be afraid of being called mad. Because what it means is that you are no longer like your age, your eon, your generation.
You are different. And the reason for your difference is because you are separated unto God. Every man separated unto God is called different.
If in a day where pastors are merchants, pastors are unjust, pastors are not in the service of Jesus, you look like them. It means you lost your consecration. Because in that day, you are supposed to look different.
If it is true that you are separated unto God. Sometimes the accurate might be the few. So if you are not secure enough in Jesus to be different, it means you have not embraced the life of consecration.
So holiness has two sides. So this side is sanctify yourself, that's consecration. Then the Lord will sanctify you, that is saturation.
It is these two things that make for the sanctified life. Someone that is giving himself to the Lord every day through prayer. Are you there? And then the Lord is possessing him and saturating him.
He's possessing him. That cycle is a cycle of the sanctified life. If that man stands close to the enemy, the enemy will scream.
Because he's not of this world. Satan has no plans to meet such people on earth. He's not of this world.
He's saturated with God. The things that will happen if God were present will happen in his presence. Because through the process of giving himself and God sanctifying him, him and God are becoming one.
This is the greatest gospel. And it is when people are sanctified like this. Yeah? You have a question? Okay.
Please equip him with a microphone. Yes? So as far as the consecrated life is concerned, does this mean that our personality will change? And what are some things that we can do to manage our emotions? Tell me. We must be talking what we are talking within a context.
You have a spirit. Is that true? You have a soul which consists of your mind. It consists of your will and what? Emotions.
Then you have what? A body. Is that true? Your body has what we call appetites. Is that true? These appetites, A, is the need to rest.
Rest is an appetite. B, thirst is an appetite. C, hunger is an appetite.
D, the need to see is an appetite. Need to see. That's how people got into pornography.
Because they want to see something. D, sex is an appetite. Yeah, I believe I got all of them here.
What? Sleep, that's rest. So when you are tired, your body begins to communicate. Is that true? It doesn't say, ah, I'm tired.
No, but it begins to communicate. And then you read the language. And that language, what it communicates in rest is different from thirst.
Thirst is different from hunger. You get that? Good. This body here, sin, which is a nature, the nature of Satan is what we call sin.
Sin wants to govern all of these appetites that are in your body. And then provide a legitimate ground for you to honor these appetites above the instructions of the Holy Ghost. Just like Satan came to Jesus on the appetite of hunger and said, if you are the son of God, turn these stones into bread so that you can satisfy your what? Okay, this is my class.
You are not interested in any of that. Can you say that? So the devil wants to use these appetites as a means of dethroning the Holy Spirit and refusing him a place of authority in your life. When he's calling you to pray in the night, the devil, sin will activate rest.
And this rest will be so compelling. So that you now convince yourself that, ah, I need rest now. I need rest.
You know the Holy Ghost is calling you to stand before him, but sin was able to convince you to disobey the Holy Ghost using what? Rest as an excuse. So that day, you're yielding to rest, to sleep. That day, sleep, that day was sin.
Because in accepting to sleep, you rebelled against the promptings of the Holy Spirit. Are you still following me? So I want you to see this problem. We have a problem.
This one is happening in your body, the appetites. And the devil wants to hold you captive from that standpoint. That's not all.
So when I have your mind, the old mind that you had when you were in downtown, that old mind does not leave. That old mind is still there. The old emotion that you had, are you following me? That you love, you love too much.
You love on the train, you are loving. On the airplane, you are loving. In economy cabin, you are loving, you are loving.
Jesus, may Lord help us. Now this is it. When the saturation begins, and God begins to saturate you, the object, the purpose of saturating you is to make you holy.
The first thing he will begin to do is that he will begin to work on your mind. He will begin to renew that saturation. It will begin to do what? Renew your mind.
The saturation will begin to stabilize your emotion. The saturation will begin to encourage you to surrender. Surrender your will to his own will.
Are you following me? These things will not happen. You don't know how stubborn we are. You believe that your small brain is so intelligent, so wise.
Then God will allow you to use your brain. You use it, then you will not fail. Then you will not know that you cannot depend on the brain.
Even though the brain is still there, you will still want to seek God. And then God now shows the way before you begin to apply the brain. It means your mind, you are having spiritual experiences that has informed the fact that God is beyond your brain, and you will need to still seek his face before you chart your course.
Are you following me? Now in the emotion area, you will go and love. You will love the Rolling Stone and you will love the person with all your heart because you believe that if you love enough, things will work. Then this Rolling Stone that you have invested so much love on will just walk away.
Then you will now discover that you were the only one loving. And then you will now be willing to allow God to govern your emotions. And then for the strong will type, you will now hit somebody and the person will now die.
So you will now pray and say, God if you can raise this woman. And then she will sneeze and wake up. You will now know that you need to surrender it.
All of these things are happening to you because God is saturating you. As he is saturating you, he is trying to defeat your stronghold. And it will happen through actions, activities, situations and circumstances that are beyond your control.
But he is the one that is at work. It might look serious, terrible, you are on the bed, your blood pressure has gone up. He allowed it so that he can defeat your emotion.
There is a stronghold, you have to defeat it. So that the demons that come to provoke that emotion, when it is stabilized, they can no longer relate with that realm. Are you there? So the name of that process on your mind is called renewal.
That's what it is. The name here is called surrender. The name here is called stabilization.
And then in this chamber, he drives up the authority that these chambers have. So that none of this can influence you. When the Holy Spirit says, stand before me, you are resting, you are tired, but you are obedient enough in heart to take the first step, to speak the first tongue, and to wait for him to strengthen you with might by his Spirit in your inner man.
You will now discover that that rest, that feeling of rest was a lie, was a shadow. It doesn't have true foundations. So if you rebel against it, it will fizzle out.
And that's how you feel lost. It's on you. Lost.
You are looking. It doesn't have any foundations. If you decide to ignore it, it will fizzle out.
It has no foundation. Because God has already crucified the flesh. So the flesh no longer has foundations.
You can ignore it. Nothing will happen. Because it's not real.
It's a shadow. When it begins to saturate you more, then you begin to discover that there is life beyond appetite. Are you there? He begins to saturate you more.
The things that used to control you. You can't sleep. Don't worry.
Don't worry. Don't worry. Just ask him to help you.
A day will come, your sleep will be nothing because you are saturated. This thing is not a miracle. It will be gradual as if you are growing.
And a day will come, they offer you free sex. You say no. You know why? Because you are saturated.
Nobody can make you like that, only God. And the process of him making you like that begins with you giving over yourself through the instrumentality of prayer. That's the vision that God has for every one of us.
So the man that has attained the sanctified life is somebody that Satan needs to weep about because Satan cannot manipulate him. Consecration is more than a spiritual activity. It is a lifestyle of personal holiness.
At its core, holiness means being separated unto God. This does not mean withdrawing from society or avoiding everyday responsibility. It means living with the conviction that only what God approves can have a place in your life.
A consecrated believer is not controlled by culture, pleasure, opportunities, or personal gain, but by the will of God. The journey of consecration begins when a person willingly gives himself to God. But it does not stop there.
As that surrender continues through prayer, fellowship, and obedience, God begins to saturate that person's life with his presence. This divine saturation gradually changes desires, appetites, perspectives, and priorities.

The more God fills a person, the more their lives reflect his character. Consecration also produces a different mindset. Before making decisions, the believer seeks to know whether God is involved.
