| 0:00.0 | Hello, my friends. Welcome to another Follow Him favorites where we take a single question |
| 0:10.4 | from each week's lesson and answer it. John, the lesson this week is in Hosea and Joel. |
| 0:17.7 | And I'm going to pull the question right out of the manual. It quotes Joel chapter 2 verse |
| 0:23.3 | 28 about the Lord pouring out his spirit upon all flesh and then asks this question. What do you |
| 0:31.0 | think it means that the Lord would pour out his spirit upon all flesh? So John, how would you answer |
| 0:37.4 | that question? What do you think it means? Well, after what you just read, it says, your sons and your |
| 0:43.7 | daughters shall prophesy your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions and Hank, |
| 0:51.8 | both of us are pretty lucky to be able to hang out with young adults. And even in the 20 something |
| 0:58.4 | years I've been teaching, I just they're amazing. And so many of the sisters or return missionaries |
| 1:05.1 | now coming into the classes, your daughter shall prophesy. I was thinking about when I saw that verse. |

| 1:34.2 | because the Lord poured out his spirit and told you that. And I think he's willing to do more. |
| 1:39.4 | President Nelson has asked us to learn to hear him. I think because he knows the Lord wants to give us |
| 1:44.4 | more if we'll go ask. Now, John, I've been super impressed with my students just through the years, |
| 1:53.0 | the way they follow promptings. Some of the insights they give when we're studying the scriptures |
| 1:59.0 | together, I'll stop and say, I got to write that down. That is such an impressive insight. And |
| 2:04.7 | I don't think that they know about themselves that they're part of this promise that you listening, |
| 2:10.9 | right now you listening to John and I talk you, bury you, you the person, you're like me, yes, |
| 2:15.8 | you, you are part of this outpouring of the spirit. It's been on you. You're one of these sons or |
