THE LORD, RESTORER, AND REVIVER (Joel 2:18-32)🔥🙏💝✝️😇🙌💖 #devotion #biblestudy #reflection #love

0:00Hello and welcome. We are so glad you are here today. God is so good and we will be doing the Votient together on Joel chapter 2 verse 18 to 32. And this passage is from the Old Testament from the minor prophets when the Israelites they were scattered all over the place. And then they were lost. They were going through tough times. And Joel was one of the minor prophets in the Bible. There is only three chapters on it. But we are going to touch on Joel chapter 2 verse 18 to 32. Lord God of the Great, that the Holy Spirit will be here in this dream that you would be honored and glorified and bring us closer to you in Jesus' name, Amen. So we are talking about the Lord, the Restor, the Reviver. God is that powerful. When we know in the Old Testament, he is the God, the living God, over all things. And

1:02his name was declared through the lives of the Israelites. And now he is declared through your life as well. Joel chapter 2 verse 18 verse 32 says, then the Lord will be jealous for his land and take pity on his people. And the Lord will reply to them and say, I am sending you grain, new wine and oil, enough to satisfy you fully. Never again will I make you an object of scorn to the nation. And I will drive the northern army far away from you, pushing it to the patched and barren land, with its front columns going into the eastern sea and through those in the rear into the western sea. And if stench will go up the smell will rise. Verse 21, do not be afraid, land of Judah, people of Judah. Be glad and rejoice surely the Lord has done great things. He has done great things. Do not be afraid

2:09you wild animals for the pastures are becoming green. The trees are bearing their fruit, the big tree and the vine yields their riches. Be glad people of Zion rejoice in the Lord your God for he has given you the autumn rains in righteousness. And he sends you abundant showers, both autumn and spring rains as before. The threshing floors will fill with rains and the bad will overflow with new wine and oil. Amen. And I will repay you for the years of locuses that have eaten your plants, your grains, your themes, the great locuses and the young locuses and other locusts and the locust swarms, my great army that I sent among you because he is in charge. You will have plenty to eat until you are full and you will praise the name of the Lord your God who has worked wonders for you. Right you out of Egypt made you a kingdom

3:15made you a great nation and never again will my people be ashamed. Then you will know that I am in Israel that I am your Lord your God and that there is no other God but me never again with my people will be ashamed and afterwards I will pour my spirit out on all the people your sons your daughters with prophecy your old man and your dream dreams the young will see vision even on the servants my servants both men and women boys and girls I will pour out my spirit in those ways and I will show my wonders in the heavens and on earth blood and fire and billows of smoke the sun will be turned into darkness and the moon to blood before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord and everyone who caused upon the name of the Lord will be saved for unmounted dying in the

4:16interuse room there will be deliverance as the Lord has sent among the survivors whom the Lord caused. Amen God is so good this is the word of the Lord. Joel chapter 2 verse 18 to 32 and this talks about righteousness the right way to be with God the faith and justification for the world to be with God amen these are thank you it says here let me summarize it for you guys that the righteousness will be revealed the righteousness apart from the law righteousness will be foretold and the righteousness through Jesus Christ himself number two the righteousness is for everyone not only is it revealed through the presence and the glory of Jesus but it is for everyone for the Gentiles for the Jews for the white the black the red the yellow purple whatever you are

5:22whatever age you are it is for you this righteousness is for you amen and righteousness is for everyone who believes who believes in the name of Jesus and then the righteousness is for everyone because everyone needs it there is no difference because all have sin and falling short of the glory of God and the wages of sin is death is separation from God it is that barrier that separates us from God and we all need the righteousness of God the blood of Jesus Christ to cover us so that we may be righteous as well right Jesse amen but neither praise the Lord so righteousness now is revealed and is for everyone the righteousness is only possible through the justification justification of Christ which he has been just you have been justified through the blood of Christ

6:24and the good news is that his blood his love his sacrifice was a free gift for you by his grace by his mercy for his mercies are new every morning and through this redemption through this reconciliation through the blood of Christ now you are saved and redeemed by the blood of the land Yeshua a masjid you know i didn't say that a lot but thank you Lord Jesus for being my king for your blood has saved me and made me righteous and there's four and five righteousness is an act only by God alone by a tonement it's an act by God we cannot buy we cannot work our way to heaven to God only by his grace is he able to allow you to be set free from the sins from the darkness

7:29of the world from the bondage of the world and number four righteousness has one great purpose which is to proclaim God's personal righteousness that he forgives your sin that he is for bearing that he is just that he is just fire and the judge that declared believers justice righteous good save in the name of Jesus so because righteousness is now revealed and it's for everyone who believes in him and it's only possible through the justification of our God our Lord i save you by his grace and righteousness is an act of God alone by a tonement and it is has one great purpose to proclaim God's personal righteousness for giving your sin your your pain your bondage so in reflection what does this all mean

8:29is a restoration that comes from repentance this passage assumes that all people have responded and indeed repented as the Lord commanded into well chapter two verse 12 to 17 and what joy comes from the Lord from God when people obey him when people are in obedience to God God is joyful and you will be blessed there is blessing after blessings triumph after triumph glory to glory wake to break through such protection from enemies and healing in the land that yields the abundance of God when you posture your heart in humility and repentant you position yourself to receive God's forgiveness and provision and it gets even better than that the locuses represent the damage caused by your sin which you truly deserve that separation

9:31that destruction that will win such loss is usually every parable it's usually permanent yet God's promises wins you full restoration it lets you praise him each and every day for you do not have to worry about your sin that will be held against you because Christ has risen from the dead and Christ has set you free from your sin and shame in the name of Jesus amen for God is good and good are the time so this next part reflection is an intimacy for us after God promises materialistic restoration he also promises spiritual restoration he not only promises materialistic restoration but also spiritual restoration to the people of Israel and at that time it was uncommon for a commoners like Gentiles to receive the Holy Spirit that in 19 which reserved for priest for kings for

10:38prophets but God promises to pull out his spirit upon all people both young and old and servants and masters this outpouring is for each one of you to enjoy an intimate relationship with God a loving relationship with God to fill the void of your heart to set you free from the bondage of sin and death and remind you that God's desires for you to draw near to him and he will draw near to you not hold him at arm's length not be separated but be hugging him hugging Jesus hugging the Lord our God and having an intimate relationship with him therefore don't hesitate to seek his face always ask him to reveal himself to you ask for more of him in your life for who he is seek him in the word of God pray to him worship him because when you ask of him

11:41you will find when you seek him you will find you will receive and then when you knock you the door will be open unto you may you live believing in the promises of this verse this passage from Joelle knowing full well that you when you call upon the name of the Lord he will come and save you amen amen for he is good for application guys what is a person that causes shame in the present and what are some ways in which God has brought you restoration what passed in my past sin man is being addicted to gaming neglecting God took a lot of my time and energy but by his grace

12:42he broke those addiction he broke those things that were holding me down and he restored me into a relationship with him because God is the way the truth the life he is the path to heaven is the path to eternal security in Christ repentance is the key to God amen today is the day for so many people to repent today is the day for people to say yes to Jesus to allow him to restore you in your life amen so what obstacles prevent you from drawing closer to God and spending time in his present how have you witnessed God's point out of his spirit on you and others what obstacles prevent you from drawing closer to God and spending time in his presence you know sometimes I still find myself growing on TikTok nonstop it's tough it's not easy I try to stop in
