hello my friends welcome to another follow him favorites where we take a single question from each week's lesson and answer it John the lesson this week is in Hosea and Joel and I'm going to pull the question right out of the manual It quotes Joel 2:28 about the Lord pouring out his Spirit on All Flesh and then to ask this question what do you think it means that the Lord would pour out his Spirit upon All Flesh so John how would you answer that question what do you think it means well after what you just read it says your sons and your daughters shall prophesy your old men shall dream dreams your young men shall see visions
 and Hank both of us are pretty lucky to be able to hang out with young adults and even in the 20-something years I've been teaching I just they're amazing and so many of the sisters are returned missionaries now coming into the classes your daughters shall prophesy I was thinking about when I saw that verse remember how Nephi says that it was hard for my people to understand but they're not hard if you have the spirit of Prophecy and thankfully we've got in the Book of Revelation it says the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of Prophecy and so if you have a testimony of Christ
 you're a prophet or a prophetess small letter P and where did you get that testimony you got it because the Lord poured out his spirit and and told you that and I think he's willing to do more president Nelson has asked us to learn to hear him I think because he knows the Lord wants to give us more if we'll go ask I've been super impressed with my students just through the years the way they follow promptings some of the insights they give when we're studying the scriptures together I'll stop and say I could write that down that is such an impressive insights and I don't think that they know about themselves that they're part of this promised that you listening right now you listening to John and I talked you very you you the person you like me yes you you are part of this outpouring of the spirit been on you you're one of the sons or daughters who is prophesying and Dreaming Dreams and having visions and it's impressive you are in
 spiritually speaking you have gifts that maybe you don't realize I remember president Hinckley saying that back when he was young he said not very many of us were doing very much scripture study to remember that quote but then he said a new generation is a rising that are familiar with the word of the Lord and Hank I look back at me as a young adult and the look my students and think they're ahead of where I was perhaps because Arbor Creek on this changed in seminary in and everything else they are so awesome and it's supposed to be the other way around but I find I'm taking notes from them and it's just evidence that really is happening that Joel mentioned right there absolutely we wanted you to come away from this follow him favorites at least thinking I am part of this I am part of something big I do know my scripture I served a mission or I have taught I have spread the gospel in my own way and to know that you are part of something big you're a big part of something big
 part of something big you are a big part of this and that you matter so much to the Lord and his plan his work yeah I think we were in Liberty Jail this last summer not as inmates just as visitors and staff member looking at those sister missionaries and I was walking away and I just turned back and said do you even understand how unique you are to be here doing this you understand how amazing that is for young adult to take a couple years out of their life and to do what you are doing sometimes like you said they might not even realize it themselves but they could think of the uniqueness of saying I'm going to go on a mission and teach people about God and being willing to do that and smiling about it that's so unique and what did they even feel that the Lord has poured out his Spirit upon that my
 yeah I'm just so impressed one of my good friends so I've just seen grow up or needs Holland Bowlers going to open her Mission call Jon tonight and yet another instance of our sons and daughters prophesying having been part of this spirit being poured out on All Flesh so to Sister bowler and so many like her just know that we have follow him love you and we're excited to see what the Lord has in store for you we hope you'll join us on our full podcast it's called follow him you can get it wherever you get your podcasts and then come back next week enjoying the back here for another follow him favor
