From “Catch the Glorious Fire” – by Ps Paul Quadros

REVIVAL IN THE BOOK OF JOEL
In
the book of Joel we have a clear description of what happens when
people repent and humble themselves with sacrificial prayers and
fasting (Joel 1:13-14), (Joel 2:12-17).
As
a result God promised them kindness and satisfaction in chapter
2:18-19, victory over the enemy (2:20), boldness and fruitfulness
(2:21, 22), joy and blessings (2:23), abundance and restoration
(2:24-26), honor (2:27), and chapter (2:28-32) says, I will pour out
my Spirit on all flesh.
We
know this promise was fulfilled in Acts 2 as they came together and
sacrificially waited on the Lord for almost ten days. Even today,
when we fulfill these conditions, God pours out His Spirit on us,
according to His promise. Today we have an open heaven over us. We
can call upon God at any time, and God will answer us with the fire
of His Spirit. Glory be to God!
