D&C 88
The Lord instructs the early elders of the Church -
"...I give unto you, who are the first laborers in this last kingdom, a commandment that you assemble yourselves together, and organize yourselves, and prepare yourselves, and sanctify yourselves; yea, purify your hearts, and cleanse your hands and your feet before me, that I may make you clean..." (Doctrine and Covenants 88:74)
I don't believe that there brethren could actually sanctify themselves, but I believe that the Lord is suggesting that they could strive to purify their hearts and works, and the Lord would sanctify them or make them clean.
