Consecration: Closing the Door to Spiritual Decay
Exposing the Power of Spiritual "Listerine" and the Daily Choice to Put on Christ.
Have you ever felt spiritually cold, distant from God, or completely unmotivated to read your Bible or share the gospel? What if these feelings aren’t just a random spiritual dry spell, but an actual foothold you have secretly given to the enemy?
In the highly convicting and incredibly practical Bible class, "3 Marks Of A Surrendered Life God’s People Are Consecrated", Dr. John Barnett reveals the breathtaking reality of what it actually takes to live a radically clean, consecrated life for God.
If you want to understand how to completely break out of a spiritual slump and stop the devil from influencing your daily life, you absolutely must listen to this message today.
Here is what you will discover in this essential biblical study:
The 50,000-Piece Purge: Discover what true repentance looks like! The early Ephesian church was saved out of a sex-addicted, materialism-controlled, and occult-practicing culture. When they realized their old ways didn’t please God, they radically cleaned house, publicly burning their magic books which totaled an astonishing 50,000 pieces of silver—the equivalent of 170 to 200 years of daily wages.
The Gritty Reality of "Field Dressing" (Ephesians 4:17-24): Stop walking around smelling like your old life! Paul commands us to "put off" our rotting, corrupt former conduct. Dr. Barnett brilliantly illustrates this using the messy, smelly reality of field dressing a hunted deer, proving that you must actively strip off the mess of your old, sinful nature before it spoils your life.
Closing the Devil’s Back Door (Ephesians 4:25-27): Are you harboring little, hidden sins like lying or lingering anger? Dr. Barnett warns that these seemingly small compromises literally leave open a back door for the devil to gain a foothold in your life. This demonic influence is exactly what makes you feel distant from God, doubt your salvation, and lose your hunger for the Word.
The Spiritual "Listerine" (Ephesians 4): How do you actually renew your mind and stop the enemy’s influence? Discover how reading the Word of God acts exactly like spiritual Listerine. When you get the Bible into your life, it actively kills spiritual "germs" and constantly pushes out the darkness and footholds of the devil.
The Daily Wardrobe Choice (Ephesians 4:24): You cannot expect to live a victorious Christian life passively! Just as a clean shirt won’t magically jump off a hanger and tackle you in the morning, Dr. Barnett explains that you must make the active, daily choice to say no to sin and intentionally "put on" the new man.
Stop settling for a cold, distant relationship with God and start actively closing every single back door to the enemy!
Listen to "3 Marks Of A Surrendered Life God’s People Are Consecrated" today to deeply cleanse your mind, confidently put off your old habits, and live a radically consecrated life that completely pleases God!
