This following excerpt from Brother Hawkins goes a bit into that. "Saul of Tarsus saw this bright light, it knocked him to the ground, and he hears this voice. Well, you know Paul didn't go throughout his life just with that one testimony. Yeah, I got knocked down and I saw a light. God got his attention, and then He filled him with the very wisdom of God."
Israel had the testimony of being delivered from Egypt, and then being tested forty years. My understanding is that they could have proceeded into Canaan after a very short time but they wouldn't believe for a further deliverance. We as they have a necessity to enter into greater revelation and victories God is ready to give us so as to be in His perfect will for us.
Let us believe God, cross that Jordan, and take our place as full over-comers in the things of God as we learn to experience Philippians 2:12, "Work out your own salvation with fear and trembling;" that is to overcome the habit of sin in our lives as we learn to follow after the Spirit instead going the way of yielding to the flesh. There have been those that teach that Canaan represents heaven, but there will not be giants, the sons of Anak to overcome there. At this time we are led in the paths of righteousness; let's learn to follow.
