Bible Verse of The Day – 9-16-16

Ezekiel 37:4 (NKJV) 4 Again He said to me, “Prophesy to these bones, and say to them, ‘O dry bones, hear the word of the Lord!

The prophet Ezekiel had been taken up in the Spirit. During this time, God showed him a valley full of dry bones. Ezekiel remarked that not only were there many, but there were very many! And not only were the bones dry, but they were very dry!

As God showed him more, He told Ezekiel to prophesy to those bones and speak life back into them! So Ezekiel spoke to them and watched as God restored their muscles, their flesh and their breath. And they lived again, in numbers of an exceedingly great army!

And God showed Ezekiel that these were representatives of the nation of Israel. Israel had become very dry and separated from God. They were spiritually dead.

And God spoke once more to Ezekiel and told him to prophesy again to them, telling them that He would put His spirit in them and they would indeed live and possess the land that He would provide for them. And in these things, they would know that He was God.

And so we speak to you, the body of Christ, today! We speak life into your tired, dry, weary spirits! Breathe again, in the name of Jesus. Let God renew your spirits. Let Him pick you up and re-create you, making you new in Him!

Let Him clean off the dirt and the cares of the world. Let Him show you how to cast off all that would try to weigh you down and dig a hole and bury you. Rise up, church, and live again!

Shake off the burdens of man-made traditions. Leave behind the rituals that would try to bind your hands and rob you of the freedom that Jesus died to give you.

Be still and let God fill you with His mercy and compassion. And receive His joy, for it is His joy that gives you strength!

Live again, bride of Christ! Live in the fullness that Jesus gave us. Amen!
