Excerpt from The School of Obedience: Addresses at the Student's Convention
The following Extract, from the Consecration of Gerhard Tersteegen, has been embodied in the Prayer Cycle of the S.C.A. of South Africa, as a form of consecration: -
"My Jesus, - I own myself to be Thine, my only Saviour and Bridegroom, Christ Jesus. I am Thine wholly and eternally. I renounce from my heart all right and authority that Satan unrighteously gave me over myself, from this day henceforth.
"From this day to all eternity, Thy will not mine be done. Command, and rule, and reign in me. I yield myself up without reserve, and I promise with Thy help and power, rather to give up the last drop of this my blood, than knowingly and willingly, in my heart or in my life, be untrue and disobedient to Thee. Behold, Thou hast me wholly and completely, sweet Friend of my soul. Thou hast the love of my heart for Thyself, and for none other. Thy Spirit be my keeper, Thy death the rock of my assurance; yea, amen, may the Spirit seal that which is written in the simplicity of my heart.
