… This is that. He says, this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel. and Joel had said this, I will show wonders in the heaven above, signs on the earth below, and everybody who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved. Who's Joel? Joel is a prophet in the Old Testament, near the end of the Old Testament. He's got a very short book, just a couple chapters. In fact, I want you to go home today and read the book of Joel. I want you to read it so that when you get to heaven, you're not embarrassed because I don't want Joel to come up to you and say, hey, how'd you like my book? And you go, oh, oh, Mr. Joel, I didn't even know you were in the Bible. So really, you need to go home and kind of like read these guys so at least when you get to heaven, you're not embarrassed. Oh yeah, Joel, love the book, love the book. …
… We didn't even know that was a thing. No, this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel. In the last days, God says, I will pour out my spirit on all people. And what is gonna be the result? What has God been building up to all through time so that when the Holy Spirit comes, what is the result going to be? Well, the number one result's gonna be he's gonna pour his spirit out on all people. There's not gonna be a select group of people that get the spirit. Everybody in the house of God is gonna get the spirit. And when the spirit comes on all people, here's what's gonna happen. Your sons and your daughters will prophesy. Your young men will see visions. Your old men will what? So we see there's going to be prophetic words spoken, not necessarily mysterious words that no one's ever heard before, but the words of God and God's purpose and God's plan and God's story are going to be proclaimed boldly in the spirit. But also young men are going to have visions and even old men are going to dream dreams because it is the nature of the spirit of God to put dreams in our hearts. …
… will dream dreams. Young men will see visions, handmaidens, servants. I'm going to pour out my spirit. And the apostle Peter on the day of Pentecost said, this is that which he was talking about. What happened in this upper room is the wind and the fire filled this room and they all began to pray in the spirit and drink of that living water spiritually. Simon Peter said, this is that that was spoken by the prophet Joel. And then he goes to this analogy and he says, deep calls unto deep at the noise of the water spout. Notice that noise is connected to the wind and the water tornado called a water spout. Noise. Noise represents praise. You will never have a mighty move of the Holy Spirit without a church that praises the Lord. The Holy Spirit makes noise. the dead praise not the Lord, neither the dead that go down in silence. This church is not a quiet church on purpose. We are a church that is filled with the spirit and we're not ashamed to praise the Lord. …
… It's only nine in the morning. No. But this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel, as it is written, And in the last days, it will be, God says, I will pour out my spirit on all people, all flesh. And your sons and your daughters will proclaim, they will prophesy. And your young men will see visions and your old men will dream dreams, even on my servants, both men and women. In those days, I will pour out my spirit on them and they will prophesy. And I will show wonders in the heavens above and signs on the earth below, blood and fire and billows of smoke. The sun will be turned to darkness, the moon to blood before the coming of the great and glorious day of the Lord, and it will be that everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved. Man of Israel, hear these words. Jesus of Nazareth, a man accredited to you by God through mighty works and signs and wonders God did through him in your midst, as you yourselves know, this Jesus, delivered up by the definite plan and foreknowledge of God, this Jesus whom you crucified by the hands of lawless men, And this Jesus God raised him to life, setting him free from the agony of death, because it was not possible for death to keep its hold on him. …

Now those verses he just quoted were from Joel. Anybody know where in Joel? Joel chapter 2 verses 28 through 32. Either we have Bible scholars here or they've got a little note down at the bottom of their Bibles that tells them, some of you probably have it, Joel 2, 28-32, instant Bible scholar status, okay? …
They're coming up with the scroll of Joel because he preached from the book of Joel. This is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel. They're saying, what is this? He said, this is that. This is the outpouring of the Holy Spirit Joel talked about. Can you see them bringing a little copy saying, would you give me your autograph right here? the same people who've laughed at you and mocked you. When God's Spirit comes on you, He puts something in you. You can't do everything good, but He gave you something that when His anointing comes on you, you can do that thing and it will make a difference for the... Even if it's finger-licking good frying chicken, it will touch and bless the world and the church. Thank you. What about you? God's putting the bad in your hand. You don't have to be the strikeout king. You can be the home run king for the glory of Jesus Christ. He's not finished with you. …
