Joel Chapter 1 Discussion Page 2

thank you

Kenn, you are correct that time is very short for America. Kenn, please study Psalms chapter 51 with all your heart, mind and soul daily. Confess your sins to the LORD and ask Him to forgive you and cleanse you of all unrighteousness. Ask the LORD to increase your faith and to stablish your heart and mind by His infinite power. Pray without ceasing and stay in His Word. I will pray for you and always remember the LORD JESUS is absolutely faithful! God bless you! 1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

Yah'l pronounced Yah-yeel uses agricultural metaphors to describe spiritual desolation felt in the land of Yizroyl in line with other prophets also bewraying the nation's sins. Yah'l calls upon the nation and "ministries" to repent. Today if only modern day preachers had such backbone. The day of Yahweh is described as a day of DESTRUCTION from the Almighty. The solution then and now, ministers should call people to fasting and prayer meetings, solemn assemblies, not prayer meetings where a bunch of "sanctified saints" sit around gossiping. as I have witnessed. The solutions proposed by inspired men of Yah of old are not "done away in Christ", as the deceived church world proposes simply because they are found in the Old Testament so-called . Messiah came to reform the heart of man by his substitutionary death, and not to implement a SUBSTITUTE religion adverse to Tanach and Tanach teachings. See Hebrews, Chapters one to the end of the book. As always, it is truth verses teachings of man made traditions. Little has changed in man since these ancient words were penned with the exception that now that Messiah has come, we have no excuse for our sins, only his blood covering. Rom 2:1-29, John 9:41

It is God's Word coming to pass. The world the lost being cut off from their needs. Soon to be their last chance to accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior and come into the fold. I fear it is God's last attempt at saving the world the unsaved from satan's reign.

Is Joel giving us Harbingers or warnings of things to come? Disaster after Disaster is hitting America, could these be warnings from our God? Are we seeing emotional, financial, Spiritual and natural warnings? I think so.

Brings to mind GMO genetically modified organisms crops and the ruin of the soil

Thank You LORD God for opening our eyes with Your perfect truth! May the LORD bless all who yearn for the knowledge of the truth with Repentance! Amen

God has pruned His tree and washed it clean for a new begining

Joel was one of the prophets who prophesied about the coming of the Holy Spirit

The need to repentance is so important in our Christian life and we can do this effectively by adding fasting and cry unto God, our Saviour and Lord who is able to spare or deliver us from desolation. We need not put our confidence in material things that can be devoured or destroyed, but in God who is able to make grace abound. Praise God . Amen.

I AGREE WITH ONE OF COMMENTS A LOT OF THE CHURCHS HAVE BECOME SPIRITUAL DEAD AND I BELEIVE THAT A LOT OF CHRISTIANS HAVE BECOME BLINDED BY MATERIAL THINGS THEY HAVE BECOME LOVERS OF PLEASURE MORE THAN LOVERS OF GOD THAT IS BIBLE

As Christians we aught to be vigilant is not time now to be spiritual dead neither spiritually blind because so much is happening in the church and in the world at large. They are looking for help from the church but the church is failing miserably.

need to know about this verse

It is a wise person who believes and No God is in Charge nothing can be done unless He allows it no matter what we can think we are all that but if God do not breath life in our body we would be dead he breath on the save and unsaved thats how loving and kind and forgiving he is he is not like some of us who cannot forgive anyone and cannot even take the responsibility for the wrong we do to other we shall reap what we sowed out amen

Confession , repentance and prayers is what makes a fast acceptable before God. Therefore any solemn assembly without genuine repentance and confession from the heart is a wasted time and energy. As good as fasting, but if it is not done properly is mere starvation.

Joel1 5 This means to me that we are to be very careful not to let the cares of this life keep us from doing the things God has called us to do. Being drinkers of wine is the cares of this life, the new wine is the Holy Ghost. We are to be very carful not to let anything in this life stop us from do our best for God for we don 't want to lose the Holy Ghost because we let down so much we lose out.

Joel describes how God can remove your blessings with great hardships if you fail to obey God.

Joel 1 20 The beasts of the field cry also unto thee for the rivers of waters are dried up and the fire hath devoured the pastures of the wilderness the beast of the field have no substance for the sun caused the rivers and lakes all to be dried up and fire devoured the pastures of the wilderness

Joel 1 19 O LORD to thee will I cry for the fire hath devoured the pastures of the wilderness and the flame hath burned all the trees of the field the sun hath put fire to the pastures all the trees are burnt up

Joel 1 18 How do the beasts groan the herds of cattle are perplexed because they have no pasture yea the flocks of sheep are made desolate The cattle all are faint for lack of food the sheep are all dead

Joel 1 16 Is not the meat cut off before our eyes yea joy and gladness from the house of our God Is not the Wisdom of the Word of God cut off from before our eyes can we not discern the times we are living in How can we have joy in the House of our God when We allow evil to dictate unto us because of our not teaching our own children according to Gods ways

Joel 1 15 Alas for the day for the day of the LORD is at hand and as a destruction from the Almighty shall it come For the terrible day of the Lord is upon us that day no sane man should ever hope for evil and wickedness everywhere sadness death and stench little food on land or in the sea man eating of things sacrificed unto idols in order to eat but still shall not be satisfied fear on every side no where to hid no where to run their confederates have all gone their own ways will we find a fast unto repenting or should the Lord put an end to us

Joel 1 14 Sanctify ye a fast call a solemn assembly gather the elders and all the inhabitants of the land into the house of the LORD your God and cry unto the LORD Declare unto your region a fast unto God to redeem you from your hopelessness And to return into the house of the Lord to let Him know you want His Holy Words

Joel 1 13 Gird yourselves and lament ye priests howl ye ministers of the altar come lie all night in sackcloth ye ministers of my God for the meat offering and the drink offering is withholden from the house of your God prayer and fasting in sackcloth all night till the Lords return for evil has forbidden you to teach Gods Holy Word in His Holy Temples

Joel 1 9 The meat offering and the drink offering is cut off from the house of the LORD the priests the LORD S ministers mourn the LORD S ministers mourn because great is the death of the congregations for when the truth is shot down there can be no hope of salvation

Is not the drink the milk what have they done but to allow a ban on Gods Holy Word and the Holy Covenant through Jesus the Christ To cause a drought of the word of God and a famine of the wisdom of the Holy Spirit

How many promises did God/Jesus Christ made to the believers in the bible and the bible references to the promises?

What the worm did not make a meal of, has been taken by the locust, it means that the food which Go d has placed on your table, the food you have refused to eat someone else has eaten. Your position in the ministry as a General overseer which you have left has been taken by your church member. God will not replace us, read 1 Samuel 15:27-28. That which the palm worm hath left hath the locust eaten, also means The stones which the labourers has rejected has become the Corner Stone.

Mere fasting will not sanctify any one,instead a combination of confession and prayer will sanctify the fasting which will lead to the sanctification of our souls.
