Look’s like a lot, but it’s all tied together as one. I wrote a blog a couple of weeks back, about “ Joel’s Outpouring” from Joel 2:28 and in it I stated that I believe it is taking place now and that there are some that believe it refers to events that took place before Jesus came to die on the cross. I want to explain why I believe it is taking place now and show in scripture why I believe it. So we will start with;

Joel 2:28,29
And afterward I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your old men dream dreams, your young men will see visions. Even on my servants, both men and women, I will pour out my Spirit in those days. I will show wonders in the heavens and on earth.

I believe this is talking about the gift of the Holy Spirit that Jesus tells us we will receive until his return. (Luke 24:49) and (Acts 1:4-8)

I also believe this to be the case because Peter clearly states that it is just that in Acts 4:16-21) when the people believed that the disciples were just drunk. Peter says in verse 16, “No, this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel” and then he goes on the quote Joel 2:28-32. I need nothing more than that to convince me that the gift of the Holy Spirit is what all this refers to.

Well how can you say it speaks about a great revival to come? Glad you asked. I believe the Bible to be The Holy Word of God. I believe that the early church believed this without question and we saw in Acts and other books the awesome results of their faith. Then why do we not see more of this today? I believe II Timothy 3:5 and 7 explain it best.

The third chapter tells us of how the world and church will be in the “Last Days” verse 5 says, “having a form of godliness but denying it’s power” and verse 7, “ always learning but never able to acknowledge the truth.

I believe there a many church’s that do not deny it’s power and do acknowledge the truth.
But I also believe as a whole the church has entered a place of denial, and fear. It is more afraid of offending it’s members than it’s God.

So how does this lead to revival? From this ministry I have seen something awesome taking place, just as it was in the early church (Acts 2:44-47) so it begins again. People seeking the truth are starting “home church’s” that preach the gospel and the truth of God’s living word. It is taking place all over this country and the world. And because of this believers are seeing visions and dreaming dreams, and prophesying. And the most common vision? Well it’s revival, a great revival unlike the world has ever seen. This is a revival of Truth and a revival of Power! I also see a call to take Jesus out of the church on Sunday and into the community and on to the streets. I saw a small group of several hundred go into the streets of Orlando a few weeks ago and get 18,000 people to accept Jesus as their Lord and Savior in one weekend. When believers learn of their authority over the enemy, how to walk in God’s will, and obey the commands that God has placed before us, like the “Great Commission” We will see the power of God move and His truth made known to all.

I hope this better explains my belief to you and all I can say is keep your eyes open, it’s coming!
God bless, mel
