Transform (Part 4 - Global Outpouring) - Book of Joel - Gareth Brown - 17th May 2026

Now if the enemy can't make the land stay barren, what is his tactic? It'll be to make the people of God, the spirit filled people of God leave. He wants to make the army weary. Weary so that they abandon the field. But Ephesians six thirteen reminds us, after you have done everything, stand. That's where the spirit is. That's where we love people. That's where we labor in our field. That's where we pray over the wild places that we are called to be in. We stand. [00:27:37] (33 seconds)  #StandFirmInSpirit

But thankfully, it is so much more than being politically correct. It's theologically correct. It's a statement that's consistent throughout history, and we know it's true. Because if the spirit is poured out on all, then we know it's possible for us to know God. It's possible for us to know God because that ground has been made level by Jesus and what he's done on the cross, that we all stand in the grace of God at the foot of the cross.

And a covenant love is like God's love. The places that we we are called to bless, they may reject us. They may misunderstand us. They may slander us because darkness doesn't like doesn't like light. And when we find a place, we're an abandoned place, a place or a person that the world has abandoned, if the people of God join in with that abandonment, those places remain deserts.

I just wanna say to you, we are not here to be consumers, just consumers of grace. We're here also by the spirit of God to be a catalyst for grace in our community, in our family, in our fields. But we don't do that on our own. We do it with the spirit of God. That's the purpose. That's the where. That's the why. That's the who. We do it for all. We do it for our transformation, but we do it also for those around us. [00:34:26] (35 seconds)  #CatalystForGrace
