Being set apart for God

I just dropped my Bible. I hope that's ok.

The Lord has been speaking to me and leading me to scriptures lately that

have to do with consecration and being set apart from the world.

I'm mostly writing this down and typing it out for my own mind.

I want to always remember the revelation that the Lord gives to me.

Joshua 7:12-13

"That is why the Israelites can not stand against their enemies; they turn their backs and run because they have been made liable to destruction. I will not be with you anymore unless you destroy whatever among you is devoted to destruction.

Go, consecrate the people. Tell them, 'consecrate yourselves in preparation for tomorrow, for this is what the Lord, God of Israel says: That which is devoted among you, o Israel you can not stand against your enemies unless you remove it."

What I got from that verse was how important it is to be separate from things in your life that you KNOW are holding you back and are not of God. We are in a war, and if we are fighting on both sides, how are we to win?
