The Days of Joel are Here — Now!
I first gave this word to our church in 2017. The LORD nudged me to re-post it as it’s even more relevant today.
“You are a chosen people!” says The LORD. “I chose you before time began. I chose you to be My People, My chosen few who will show the world who I AM.
I have placed before you a door which no-one can shut. I have opened the door and no-one is able to close it again until I tell them to close it.
John the Baptist first spoke to you, of one who would baptise with My Holy Spirit and with Fire. Many of you already know the truth of this.
When My Spirit first came upon you, He came as a wind and carrying tongues of fire for each one of you. When those early believers prayed, the place in which they were praying was shaken!
So shall these things happen again!” declares The LORD. “I AM sending a fresh outpouring of My Spirit, and the places where you are praying will once again be shaken!
I have appointed a Season for these things to happen, so that as many as will be saved are saved. The shaking has begun — My People are being shaken, their places of prayer are being shaken, and their whole world is being shaken.
Those still to be saved are watching, waiting to see My Love being displayed among My People. Did I not say that by your Love, shall you be known?
The Days of Joel are upon you!”
Hear the words of the prophet Joel, and what The LORD says today –
“I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh…” — all flesh — everyone, who seeks — will receive!
“Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy…” — Not just prophesy, but lay hands on the sick, preach the Gospel, give words of wisdom and knowledge. Young people do not get a junior version of The Holy Spirit, they get the same as everyone else.
“Your old men shall dream dreams…”
“Your young men shall see visions…”
Oh — such Dreams and Visions as we cannot imagine!
People yet to meet, those in need that we need to help, those in need of healing — words of knowledge given in a vision as well as visions for future events etc.
“And also on My Menservants and on My Maidservants I will pour out My Spirit in those days…” says The LORD.
This is for EVERYONE. It’s not for a select few. Everyone from 5 to 95 and maybe those even younger and older — if you can walk and talk then you can receive power.
Pentecost — It’s all coming again — in greater power, in greater Fire, in greater anointing than we have ever known.
Pentecost will see the start of it all — of that, I am convinced!
“For The LORD has chosen you to be a people for Himself.” Deuteronomy 14:2.
“See, I have set before you an open door, and no one can shut it; for you have a little strength, have kept My word, and have not denied My name.” Revelation 3:8.
“John answered, saying to all, “I indeed baptize you with water; but One mightier than I is coming, whose sandal strap I am not worthy to loose. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.” Luke 3:16.
“And suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting.” Acts 2:2.
“And when they had prayed, the place where they were assembled together was shaken; and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and they spoke the word of God with boldness.” Acts 4:31.
“And it shall come to pass afterward That I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh; Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, Your old men shall dream dreams, Your young men shall see visions. And also on My menservants and on My maidservants I will pour out My Spirit in those days.” Joel 2:28-29.
