What to Do While Ministering in a Plagued Dry Land.

Introduction

Today we are in The Book of Joel, Biblical organizers calls this book a Minor Prophet because of lack of content.I have come to find some of your most power words from God comes out of the smaller books. Thats “Major” Because that tells us that we don’t have to say much to say something(Amen). With that Being said if you could give 4 minute, I’ll be out your way. Holy Spirit have your way.

Joel Lived at the time when Moses Prophecies of Deut 28:38&42 manifested before his very eyes because of Israels Disobedience. God Brought on Judgement in the form of a drought and a Locust Plague.Yes a Plague. Plagues are results of personal sin, collective sins, national sin, which is rooted in original sin,Plagues are symptoms of sin.Meaning its something you see because sin.(cancer Example) God uses Plagues like Using a Megaphone , Screaming at us “Repent” and “Restore” the land that I have given yall Authority over. it may be Plagued! it may be Dry! The Purpose of Joel is to turn the nation back to God, in preparation of the day of the Lord.Thats The same purpose of us Ministers Today.

What to Do While Ministering in a Plagued Dry Land.

Stage your guards at the Alter.

Stay in the Assembly of God. (Stay in the House of God) (Stay in the Church)

Cry Out to The Lord, Not to the Land..

Stage your guards at the Alter. (Joel 1:13)

Highlight Gird: 1.)Gird = Appoint 2.)Gird=Restraint 3.)Gird=Armor.

You Ministers are appointed to the Alter.

You Ministers are Restrained at the Alter.

You Ministers are Armored at the Alter. Better Yet are Armored By the Spiritual Activity that occurs when you pray and you praise on one accord at the Alter. Phil 4:6-7

Stay in God’s House.(Joel 1:14) ( Stop letting the state of the Land Dictate the Church that Christ Established)

Stay connected to the Source that saturates the land with fresh oil.

Consecrate yourself by fasting. Separate from flesh ,and World.

Stay Assembled at the Alter Because its Sacred to God and the Mission of His Kingdom.

Go Gather , the Elders and all inhabitants . ( you do gotta go out, and come back prayerfully with someone new standing beside you)

Cry out to the Lord , Not unto the Dry Land.

Don’t cry out to the man in the land

Cry out the God that Created Both man and land.

Why Because the Plagues of Life are Predestined, but I find Joy in the fact that......

The Light of Life is predestined also, in the day of the Lord. as in everyday you live in him.

Sin puts us in a plaguish place, but True Repentances pull you out of that place,

We can find that sanctification comes out of assemble together at the alter, crying out to God on the behalf of all inhabitants of the land. Cause I don’t doubt God Even though the land dry, filled will locust, I don’t doubt him eventho the land fill with Covid ,Hate , injustice, and unbelief. that gives us more to take to the alter,

(Get Right Church). 2 Chr 7:14
