REFUND

Joel The name literally means "Jehovah is God." This is a very common name in Israel, and Joel, the prophet, is specified as the son of Pethuel. Nothing is known about him or the circumstance of his life. Probably he has lived in Judah and prophesied in Jerusalem.
Date
There is no way to date the book with absolute certainty, and scholars vary in their opinions. There are references in both Amos and Isaiah, who are also in Joel (cf. Joel 3:16 Am to 02.01 13.06 to Joel and Isaiah 1:15) It is the opinion of many conservatives that Amos and Isaiah have borrowed from Joel, making it one of the oldest of the minor prophets.
Moreover, the worship of God, which the high priest Jehoiada restored during the reign of Joash (2 Kings 11, 2 Chronicles 23:16), is supposed by Joel. So many argue that Joel prophesied during the first thirty years of the reign of Joash (835-796 BC), when Jehoiada was the king's counselor. That would put the ministry of Joel circa 835-805 BC.
Historical Context
Joel prophesied an era of devastation throughout the land of Judah a huge plague of locusts had stripped the countryside of all vegetation destroyed by grazing of both sheep and cattle, even took the bark of fig trees. In just a few hours, what had been a beautiful land, lush, had become a place of desolation and destruction. Contemporary descriptions of the destructive power of swarms of locusts confirms the description of the plague on Jl. The plague of locusts that Joel wrote about was larger than any one had ever seen. The entire harvest was lost, and seeds for planting the next crop was also destroyed. Famine and drought have taken over all the earth. Both the people and the animals were dying. She was so profound and disastrous, that Joel saw an explanation: it was God's Judgement.
Content
The Book of Joel is naturally divided into two sections. The first (1.1-2.27) of this trial comes from God, a call to repentance and the promise of restoration.
The second section (2:28 to 3:21) explains that this plague, horrible as it may be, is nothing compared to the judgments of God that is underway. This was a time when not only Judah, but also all the nations of the world will be called before God.
However, we can not help but notice the most striking section of this short prophecy. By ES, Joel looks hundreds of years ahead to a time when God will pour out His Spirit "upon all flesh" (2.28). This will be a prelude to the devastation and the Lord's Judgement Day. It will be a time when all believers will feel the housing of the ES and will form a prophetic community on earth. It will be a time when the prophecy will come from young and old, similarly, when both men and women will prophesy. Salvation is not just ingualável blessing upon Judah will be a time when "everyone who calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved" (2.32)

BREAKING BOUNDARIES

BREAKING BOUNDARIES

After knowing our limits, we must win many of them.

One of the responsibilities of parents to set limits for their children. During childhood and adolescence, the difficult task represents most of what we call education. This is done out of necessity and even fear. Taught early on that his son should not go away, because the dangers are many. There is no way to condemn such attitudes of teachers because many of these guidelines are relevant and indispensable. Nobody can live without limits. However, what is observed in adulthood, is that people have become too limited and need encouragement to leave the place.

It's like the circus elephant that was tied to a stake when he was young. Drew, struggled, was injured, but could not get loose.

A good example of determination and progress was that of the prophet Elisha. As she watched Elijah, he was advised to stay in any of the cities as they went. However, the student was determined to continue following their master. Because of his perseverance, he witnessed the rapture of Elijah and received a double portion of the Spirit (II Rs.2.1-15). Staying in the middle of the road would be a way to limit your experiences and ministry.
Similarly, students who persevere in following Christ also witnessed his rise to heaven and received the Holy Spirit.

This makes us think also in Ezekiel's vision (47.1-12), in which the prophet was led to the river coming out of the temple. There will be enough to contemplate it from a distance or remain on its margins. He should enter the waters, soaking up and move within them, reaching ever greater depths, until they needed to swim because it is not possible to continue walking. This is beyond the limits of reason and live by faith. It is beyond the situation manageable, comfortable and predictable, but always in obedience to the Lord.

This is God's desire for us. We need to go further in our experiences with it.

Reading the Gospels, we see that Jesus lived breaking boundaries. He went beyond what was expected of him, overcoming religious traditions and the law of Moses.

Christ broke boundaries when, at age 12, discussed with the lawyers (Lc.2.46). Contrary to the expectations of all, when, instead of continuing in the office of Joseph, became a preacher and Master (Mc.6.3). Went further to proclaim a message other than the rabbis of his time. Shocked the disciples by going to the cross. Won the limit of death, when risen and ascended into heaven. He did it all without sin, without exceeding the will of the Father This was its only parameter.

Jesus told the disciples did not die on the cross to save the world, but would work similar to what Jesus did and greater (John 14:12).

We're not talking beyond the ethical boundaries that govern our lives (or the limit of overdraft or credit card) (not the speed limit in traffic), but to break unnecessary limitations, real barriers that hinder our growth.
