Pastor Joel explores the biblical concept of consecration through the lens of Joshua chapter 5, emphasizing that consecration is the act of separating ourselves from common use to sacred service unto God. He highlights how Israel's obedience in circumcision and observing Passover before conquering Jericho demonstrates that spiritual preparation must precede spiritual victory. Consecration is presented not as something that makes us holy in itself, but as the positioning of ourselves so that God can work holiness in us. Pastor Joel challenges believers to recognize that while we cannot produce righteousness through our own efforts, our obedience and consecration create the context for God to transform us and give us victory over spiritual enemies. The appearance of the Commander of the Lord's army to Joshua reinforces that while we have a role in consecration and obedience, ultimate victory belongs to God alone.
