For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, declares the LORD: I will put my law within them, and I will write it on their hearts. And I will be their God, and they shall be my people. And no longer shall each one teach his neighbor and each his brother, saying, ‘Know the LORD,’ for they shall all know me, from the least of them to the greatest, declares the LORD.

Although we could not meet in person for this conference as planned, we pray these sessions prepared for the weekend will bless all the podcast listeners. Mary Thomas wants to live in a world where the church is undivided, so that we can be a light to the world. When she’s not praying and studying her Bible, you can find her in her garden. She loves flowers, various leaf texture and color changes and how intricate they are!  She’s taught Precept International curriculum for over 20 years, serves in her church missions field in Africa, and intercedes for many.   Her favorite Scripture is Philippians 2:1-7:  "Therefore if there is any encouragement in Christ, if there is any consolation of love, if there is any fellowship of the Spirit, if any affection and compassion, make my joy complete by being of the same mind, maintaining the same love, united in spirit, intent on one purpose. Do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit, but with humility of mind regard one another as more important than yourselves; do not merely look out for your own personal interests, but also for the interests of others. Have this attitude in yourselves which was also in Christ Jesus, who, although He existed in the form of God, did not regard equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied Himself, taking the form of a bond-servant, and being made in the likeness of men.” Podcast Navigation:  00:00 Introduction01:30 Joel 1:4-2005:00 Why Study the Old Testament?07:00 Curses for Disobedience11:00 What is God saying to us today?12:00 Joel’s Instructions14:50 Who/what caused the plague?17:12 Locust Description19:15 The Wrath of God20:30 The Locust Plague in Egypt22:45 The Life Stages of a Locust25:07 First Instruction: Awake27:16 How is sin like a locust?30:35 What can we do about sin?42:00 Lamenting with Sackcloth43:15 The Locusts’ Impact on Worship47:00 How fresh is your oil?49:22 Second Instruction: Repent52:04 Ways to Fast 52:30 Why fast?56:57 Joel’s One Line Prayer58:00 Benediction On this episode, Mary talks about the following references and resources: Yet Even Now Podcast Companion Guide Donate to DWITW Joel 1:4-20 1 Corinthians 10:11-12 Deuteronomy 28:11-47 2 Timothy 3:16-17 Daniel 9:1-19 Joel 2:25 Isaiah 45:5-7 Exodus 10:1-20 Genesis 1-2 Genesis 4:7 Matthew 12:34 Proverbs 4:23 1 John 1:8-9 1 Corinthians 10:13 Proverbs 28:13 Psalm 103:11-12 Psalm 51 Hebrews 12:1-2 Ephesians 2:6 James 4:7 James 1:22-25 Ephesians 4:27 2 Corinthians 10:4-5 1 Corinthians 5:6 Philippians 2:17 Psalm 92:10 1 Samuel 2:1 2 Corinthians 1:21-22 Psalm 36:5-7 Isaiah 58:4-12 Matthew 6:16-18 Matthew 13:1-30 Psalm 30:11-13 Current African Locust Plague Fasting for Spiritual Breakthrough by Elmer Towns Fasting by Jentezen Franklin
