The gospel promise
Nor are they only temporal blessings which God directs his people to expect in the use of these means. For at the same time that he promised to those who should seek him with fasting and weeping and mourning, I will restore to you the years which the grasshopper has eaten, the cankerworm and the caterpillar and the palmer worm, my great army, he adds: So shall you eat and be satisfied and praise the name of the Lord your God. You shall also know that I am in the midst of Israel and that I am the Lord your God. And then immediately follows the great gospel promise: I will pour out my Spirit upon all flesh, and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, and your young men shall see visions. And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my Spirit (Joel 2:25-29).

Nor are they only temporal blessings which God directs his people to expect in the use of these means. For at the same time that he promised to those who should seek him with fasting, and weeping, and mourning, I will render you the ears which the grashopper hath eaten, the canker-worm, and the caterpiller and the palmer-worm, my great army, he subjoins, So shall ye eat and be satisfied, and praise the name of the Lord your GOD――Ye shall also know that I am in the midst of Israel, and that I am the Lord your God. And then immediately follows the great gospel-promise, I will pour out my Spirit upon all flesh, and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, and your young men shall see visions. And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my Spirit.
