People believe that their fate is sealed and that there’ll be no restoration in their lives. But there can be, and this is the meaning of the dry bones coming to life.
The Lord is soon to return to rapture the Church but soon in our time is not the same in God’s. We are saddened by the things that are shaking the world. You may feel there is no hope in this world, in your situation. Just wait for the Lord!
But until God comes, we have a mandate not as the world gives, but from Him!
The Word of God tells us faith speaks what it hears! Speak what you hear from the Lord. What you believe, so that, by faith God will do what you have said through you!
Romans 10:8, “8But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” (that is, the word of faith which we preach): 9that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. 10For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. 11 For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame.”
What you have heard and believe about God, you will speak in faith! Things will happen in your life because you’re speaking what you truly believe. This could be good or bad for you! Matthew 9:29, “According to your faith, let it be to you.”
The bible tells us in Romans 4:3-5, 3For what does the Scripture say? Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.” 4 Now to him who works, the wages are not counted as grace but as debt. 5 But to him who does not work but believes on Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is accounted for righteousness.”
As we believe and receive Jesus Christ, we become the righteousness of God by faith! God counts you as a righteous person. Righteousness does not mean you are a good person, and doing the right things, as those suppose. This is apart from works.
Ezekiel in the valley of dry bones
Ezekiel speaks to dry bones
Ezekiel prophesies flesh on bones
In the book of Ezekiel, the prophet who heard the voice of God who in a vision took him into the valley. Ezekiel was a prophet who obeyed God!
Ezekiel 37:1-10, Please read.
Ezekiel 37:4-5, “Again He said to me, “Prophesy to these bones, and say to them, O dry bones, hear the word of the Lord. 5Thus says the Lord God to these bones: “Surely I will cause breath to enter into you, and you shall live.”
This must have alarmed Ezekiel, standing in the middle of a valley of dead people! Their bones were dry for being that way for a long time. God asked Ezekiel if he thought these bones could live. Ezekiel said to God, it was only Him who could bring them life. And He was correct. But God further told Ezekiel to speak to the bones to come alive. He told Ezekiel what to say and God would do the rest! By faith, Ezekiel obeyed! The bones began to rattle and come together! But the bones were not breathing! God again tells Ezekiel to command breath to come in the bodies! Ezekiel obeyed and the bodies lived and stood upon their feet!!! Hallelujah!!
The things in our own lives that are dead (health, finances, ministries, relationships, jobs, business, nation in chaos) like dry bones, the believer has the authority and power to speak life! We don’t have to feel everything is lost, dry, and no hope! There are truths and lessons in the bible we can learn today from what was spoken to other individuals thousands of years ago! God’s word is relevant today and timely for any season! Such as this one. That’s why it is called the Bible. God is the same yesterday, today, and forever!
God tells us in His word what to speak! God tells you in your time spent with Him in fellowship, in relationship, what to speak. What to do! It is up to the person whether to obey! God will perform by His power! In our bodies, in our circumstances, in our land, in our world! God is waiting for you to speak to your situation!! He will not shame you!
I believe that when the saints reign with Jesus Christ in the Millennium, He will show us: this is how we should have reigned in the earth all along!
O bless His Name!!
