Joel is commanding the leaders to call for a fast which is a sacred assembly, a gathering designed for prayer and repentance, for crying out to God for His mercy. Joel presents a vivid picture of the consequences of sin and shows us how to respond with true repentance. The kind of repentance that leads to holiness is not merely an outward show, but an inward, sincere, heartrending brokenness over sin. When sin occurs corporately, as it did in Israel, God calls upon leaders to gather the people in a solemn assembly in which they fast, pray, and cry out for His mercy and forgiveness. As we see sin in the church and in the nation, we would do well to heed Joel’s exhortations and cry out to God corporately for our generation. Fasting and prayer are meant to seek God’s answer for difficult situations.

So how do we change it? James gives us the answer in the very next verses (17-18), […]
Barron Greenwalt August 12, 2014 The Making of a Strong Testimony I have never grown personally while in a comfort zone. Overcoming adversity, diversity and hardship seems to be the key to overcoming my character flaws. These times and stories make my testimony. These times reinforce in me “Every time we face the deserts of […]
BARRON GREENWALT·WEDNESDAY, MAY 10, 2017 Be ready at a moment’s notice! Whenever someone confides in you about taking their own life, let them know that no matter how hard life has gotten, with God there is hope.
