The Spirit is the Source of Renewal

Commentators unanimously agree that the turning point from judgment to blessing is the "pouring out of the Spirit from on high." This is not a human achievement but a direct, gracious act of God. Scholars like Matthew Henry note that true "good times" and restoration, both for a nation and for an individual, begin only when God's Spirit intervenes.
