From Bones to Blessings

The Spirit of the Lord gave the prophet Ezekiel a most amazing vision. He witnessed the Spirit of the Lord transforming dry bones into a mighty army for God. Imagine turkey bones that were picked clean by thanksgiving feasters suddenly coming together to form the bird’s skeletal structure, muscle forming on the bones, feathers reappearing and then, life entering it, and it is now alive and stronger than ever before. And it’s soul mission now is to bring glory to God!

“The hand of the Lord was on me, and he brought me out by the Spirit of the Lord and set me in the middle of a valley; it was full of bones.

He asked me, ‘Son of man, can these bones live?’ I said, ‘Sovereign Lord, you alone know.’

I prophesied as I was commanded. And as I was prophesying, there was a noise, a rattling sound, and the bones came together, bone to bone. I looked, tendons and flesh appeared on them, and skin covered them, but there was no breath in them.

Then he said to me, ‘Prophesy to the breath; prophesy, son of man, and say to it, ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: Come, breath, from the four winds and breathe into these slain, that they may live.’ So I prophesied as he commanded me, and breath entered them; they came to life and stood up on their feet—a vast army.

‘I will put my Spirit in you, and you will live, and I will settle you in your own land. Then you will know that I the Lord have spoken, and I have done it, declares the Lord.’” [1]

“Holy Spirit please breathe life into souls today and cause them to rise up to serve and glorify God our Father and our Lord Jesus Christ. Please bring dry bones together. Please grant us muscle. Please fill us with very presence. In Jesus’ Name I pray. Amen.”
