Joel 2:23-25

Lesson # Joel 2:23-25 Study Material - Joel 2:23-25 You must be in fellowship prior to your Bible study, so that the spiritual information you receive can become a source, of blessing to your soul and produce spiritual growth. Joel 2:23-25 23 Be glad [giyl] then, ye children [ben] of Zion [Tsiyown] , and rejoice [samach] in the LORD [Yahovah] your God [elohiym] : for he hath given [nathan] you the former rain [mowreh] moderately [tsadaqah] , and he will cause to come down [yarad] for you the rain [geshem] , the former rain [mowreh] , and the latter rain [malqowsh] in the first [ri'shown] month. 24 And the floors [goren] shall be full [male] of wheat [bar] , and the fats [yeqeb] shall overflow [shuwq] with wine [tiyrowsh] and oil [yitshar] . 25 And I will restore [shalam] to you the years [shaneh] that the locust [arbeh] hath eaten [akal] , the cankerworm [yekeq] , and the caterpiller [chaciyl] , and the palmerworm [gazam] , my great [gadowl] army [chayil] which I sent [shalach] among you. KJV-Interlinear 23 So rejoice, O sons of Zion, And be glad in the LORD your God; For He has given you the early rain for your vindication. And He has poured down for you the rain, The early and latter rain as before. 24 And the threshing floors will be full of grain, And the vats will overflow with the new wine and oil. 25 'Then I will make up to you for the years That the swarming locust has eaten, The creeping locust, the stripping locust, and the gnawing locust, My great army which I sent among you. NASB Part 3 of 3 Previous Page Next Page Your position in Christ: (Salvation is a prerequisite to your even having a spiritual life.) 1. Have you believed in Jesus Christ? Without being saved - nothing else below applies. Your function in Christ: (Fellowship is a prerequisite to your functioning in your spiritual life.) 2. Do you evaluate yourself for sin in your life (see the chart of human carnal nature for a guide to this)? 3. Based on that evaluation (done frequently day to day), do you confess your sins to God the Father? This is necessary in order to reside in the fellowship sphere. Without being in fellowship - nothing else below applies. Your function in your study: (Study is a prerequisite to building your spiritual foundation.) 4. Do you study your Bible daily (Church, Bible class, etc.)? (No skipping days, or weeks, no excuses). 5. Do you memorize Bible verses? This helps you to recall Bible principles and builds on your overall understanding. 6. Do you ponder or discuss the things you learn each day in Bible class? This helps you to relate Bible principles to practical daily life. 7. Do you write notes during your study? This helps you to learn and retain the things you have just read or heard. Without learning and understanding - nothing else below applies. Your function in your daily life: (Application of what you learn is a prerequisite to your spiritual production.) 8. Do you pray regularly? Morning, noon, night, meal time. Pray in thanks, for others, for self. 9. Do you apply Bible principles to your daily life? Honesty, integrity, patience, poise, impersonal love, faith. 10 Do you comply with your obligations and responsibilities to God, to self, to spouse, to family, to your education, to your work, to your community? 11. Do you support or promote the teaching of the Word of God? (To prevent selfishness and greed in yourself.) 12. Do you give to charity to help others in need? (To promote compassion and empathy for others.) Without application of what you know to your daily life - there is no production in your spiritual life. Summary: Your spiritual production is the result of your entire spiritual life - items 1-12 above. Production is the gold, silver, and precious stones of spiritual wealth on which you will be evaluated at the judgment Seat of Christ. This evaluation is the most important of your entire existence. It affects your eternal destiny. Now back to our study. God provides us with information. If we disregard that information (in effect disregard God) then an army of worldly problems will invade our space. This is not a good thing! It is far better to pay heed to God and what He has to say and offer, and to comply with His will. Life is much better when we do. Part 3 of 3 Previous Page Next Page End of lesson. Study to show thyself approved (mature) unto God, a workman that needs not to be ashamed, rightly dividing (studying/discerning), the Word of truth.
