The Days of Joel
I woke recently with the thought of Pentecost looming large — “Only a week or three to go!”
Then, once again — second time in two weeks, I was reminded of the words of Joel.
““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, and your young men shall see visions. Even on the male and female servants in those days I will pour out my Spirit.” Joel 2:28-29.
In the Spirit, I saw a barrel above the platform in a Church. Now, the tap was turned on slowly and water started to fall on the platform.
At it’s fully open setting, there was quite a lot pouring out. Then I saw a hand remove the tap, leaving a fair sized hole in the barrel — and the water just fell out, flooding the platform and falling over into the rest of the auditorium.
I heard The LORD say, “Is this how you want me to pour out My Spirit upon your Church?”
Before I could answer, He said, “THIS is how I want to pour out My Spirit upon you!”
With that, The LORD showed me the outside of the building. I saw a huge barrel above the building. Once again, the tap was opened slowly until fully open.
Once again a hand removed the tap, leaving the barrel to just pour out its contents all over the building. It did not stop, nor even slow down while I was watching.
Then, I was taken back inside to see a Waterfall of The River of God, pouring out over the platform, and over the leaders.
I saw the downpour cover the platform and cover the people, all of them, in the Church.
The water rose until it poured out of the building into all the streets around the building. The flood was still spreading as The LORD said, “If My people in this place, who are called by My Mame, will allow Me to pour out My Spirit without measure, then I will heal your land.
More than this, I will give you every place you place your feet, and you shall bring Me great glory, as I allow My Spirit to work with you.
The price shall be high, but you will see Revival.”
This is what I believe The LORD is saying to us today.

Bit confused. Hasn’t the fulfillment of the Joel prophecy already happened? Also, does God only fill people with His Spirit on the churches calendar every year? This seems a bit ‘religious’ to me and reliant on the man made symbols and festivals, you claim to have moved on from. (Gal 4:8-11 Formerly, when you did not know God, you were slaves to those who by nature are not gods. But now that you know God—or rather are known by God—how is it that you are turning back to those weak and miserable forces? Do you wish to be enslaved by them all over again? You are observing special days and months and seasons and years! I fear for you, that somehow I have wasted my efforts on you). Is the Holy Spirit not here already to equip and empower us? Did Jesus not have words to say for those who were continually looking for signs and wonders?
I wonder what he means by the price will be high
The people are building and church he stated on You as you are thewallfalls and the flood the carrier of his glory a high price to pay is to give all to him as all time and possible all you have. Out of the comfort zone forever my brothers and sisters. Walk on water. Some are all ready paying this cost. What do you of ones that walk the flood roads. TheHomeless faithful warriors backs you see this time of turnaround.
Yes, when you realize that a Christian person is now the temple the place where God lives what you have been shown is the absolute truth. However, the time Christians are willing to spend with their Father basking in His presence would be shameful to discuss in an honest forum. Just listen to your words and watch your thoughts when issues come along to see who answers whether the kingdom of God or what you decide
