SIGNS OF CONSECRATED LIFE



 1. Filling with spiritual gifts - Eph 4:11-12

Verse 12 says;

{AMP}: His intention was the perfecting and the full equipping of the saints (His consecrated people), [that they should do] the work of ministering toward building up Christ’s body (the church)


2. Filling with fruits of the spirit - Gal 5:22

3. Spirit of the knowledge, wisdom and understanding - Dan 11:17 

 Verse 17 reads;

{NIV}: He will determine to come with the might of his entire kingdom and will make an alliance with the king of the South. And he will give him a daughter in marriage in order to overthrow the kingdom, but his plans will not succeed or help him.

{AMP}: He [Antiochus the Great] shall set his face to come with the strength of his whole kingdom, and with him upright conditions and terms of peace, and he shall perform them [by making an agreement with the king of the South].

Are you a true discipline of Jesus Christ, that has been consecrated himself/herself for God?

In other words, behavior, attitude, thought - in heart - etc, Or you have consecrated yourself for shameful work of satan.

Think over it. 

May God help you to do correction. 

Shalom.
