Scripture References Ezekiel 37 verse 3-5 KJV

• And he said unto me, Son of man, can these bones
  live? And I answered, O Lord GOD, thou knowest.
• And he said unto me, Prophesy upon these bones,
  and say unto them, O ye dry bones, hear the word
  of the LORD.
• Thus saith the LORD GOD unto these bones Behold,
  I will cause breath to enter into you, and ye
  shall live

Lessons about resurrection from Ezekiel

• There are a few things that we learn from reading
  this passage
• God engages us in Q A in order for us to
  communicate with Him. Unlike some peoples belief,
  when we become Believers we dont check our
  brains at the door! God states in Isaiah 1v18
  Come now, and let us reason together, saith the
  LORD though your sins be as scarlet, they shall
  be as white as snow though they be red like
  crimson, they shall be as wool. God always wants
  us to talk to Him. He just doesnt want you to
  lead Him out of fear. He seeks relationship with
  you. How awesome is our God to even bother!

• The next thing we notice is that God gives
  Ezekiel instructions. His instructions are to
  prophecy. What is to prophecy? It is nothing more
  than to speak the Words of God over something or
  someone.
• Can you prophecy to yourself and your dead
  issues? Yes! In 1st Corinthians 141 it states
  Follow after charity, and desire spiritual
  gifts, but rather that ye may prophesy. You
  see, the greatest motivator is charity (love),
  but of all the spiritual gifts are we are to
  desire prophecy. This is because it is when we
  loose the Words of God out of mouths God can do
  something. God wants you to use His Words, not
  yours or the enemys, to bring life into your
  current situation.

• So, what happens next? Ezekiel follows the
  instructions, opens his mouth, and prophecies.
• Sometimes we dont receive what we are waiting
  for because we dont do what God is asking of us.
  Could you imagine this scene? Bones are just
  lying there and the mere speaking of Gods Words
  bringing something to life? Take a moment and
  think about that! The mere Words of God has so
  much power it brings things that are completely
  gone back to life! This little thing, like
  speaking Gods Words out of your mouth, sounds
  silly. How can you speaking create anything to
  happen?

• And God said, Let there be light and there was
  light
• Genesis 1v2 KJV
• God continues in this Chapter that He says
  something, and then it is. God has granted you
  that same authority to say what He says

• God fully expects us to prophecy. Otherwise, He
  wouldnt tell us to seek out this gift above all
  others. When we are obedient to Gods leading, we
  receive the manifestation of it
• So I prophesied as I was commanded and as I
  prophesied, there was a noise, and behold a
  shaking, and the bones came together, bone to his
  bone. Ezekiel 37 verse 7
• This isnt magic. Its power manifesting from on
  high! Decide today that you will be that
  establishing witness of earth that Gods Word has
  the last say!

• What areas have you used your mouth against? Have
  you said things contrary to Gods Word? Repent
  this day and start anew!
• Dive into the Word of God and find out what God
  has said. Then loose it out of your mouth and
  watch God bring life, once again, to that area in
  your life!
