The Grands Letter (Joel/GLJ)

on September 20, 2025 5:44 am (CST)

Dear Grands,

Joel 2:28-32, “It will come about after this that I will pour out My Spirit on all mankind; and your sons and daughters will prophesy, your old men will dream dreams, your young men will see visions.

29 “Even on the male and female servants I will pour out My Spirit in those days.

30 “I will display wonders in the sky and on the earth, blood, fire, and columns of smoke.

31 “The sun will be turned into darkness and the moon into blood before the great and awesome day of the LORD comes.

32 “And it will come about that whoever calls on the name of the LORD will be delivered; for on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there will be those who escape, as the LORD has said, even among the survivors whom the LORD calls.”

These are strong words from the prophet Joel. He is speaking of the way of the LORD who is promising that His Spirit will invade mankind, prompting a prophecy that will come in due time. It is a prophecy that will invade the thinking of all mankind.

Numerous times in both the Old and New Testaments, the LORD reaches out to mankind saying, “call on the name of the LORD.” The structure of the invitation is sometimes worded differently, but it is always clear that the LORD’s desire is to save mankind from sin. Although the precise wording in Scripture may be structured differently, there is no question that the LORD’s purpose is to save souls from Hell and secure them for Heaven.

Stop and take a moment to think of someone you know that needs the LORD. We all have friends who are not saved. We love them and certainly don’t want them to be left out of our LORD’s Heaven. They might not be thinking about the need they have for a Savior; yet, if they don’t have Him, He doesn’t have them. Give them a call. Send them an email. Let them know how vitally important you believe it is that they accept the LORD Jesus into their heart and life.

We ourselves need to be clean and wholesome in living, which is encouraged by serious daily reading of the Scriptures and prayer. We all need to be praying for lost friends. Right now, we have that opportunity to pray. Right now, we have the opportunity to reach them. Someday it will be too late! Today just might be that final day! Don’t let it pass!

Heartily in Christ,
