And just as the Lord instructed Joshua to have Israel consecrate themselves before entering Canaan, so the Lord is calling for a fresh consecration among us as well, for He will again work wonders among us. It means the same to us today. It cannot be done superficially and also be done right. We come like children, soft and willing to be taught new truths. Even if much of our understanding had previously come from God, there is more to learn.
Consecration is fresh surrender.
Now, the wonders which God is about to perform are to reveal His glory and His goodness. This world is full of hopelessness, fear and corruption. Thus, the Father wants people to know the power and the glory of His Son. The times of extended dealings are about to be put behind us. Their covenant relationship with God was their source of power and direction.
