CAN YOU HEAR IT?

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death…

Psalm 23:4 (NKJV)

Life can sure make you feel like you're walking through that valley sometimes! Especially right now with the economy and government the way it is. Even the stress of jobs and relationships.

Ezekiel experienced this when God brought him out by the Spirit and set him in the middle of a valley.

A valley full of dry bones!

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 led me back and forth

among them, and I saw a great many bones on the floor of the valley,

bones that were very dry. He asked me, “Son of man, can these bones live?”

I said, “Sovereign Lord, you alone know.”

Ezekiel 37:1-3 (NIV)

How often have we looked at our lives and thought the same thing. “Lord, only You alone know if these bones can live? Is there any hope for me?”

Then he said to me, “Prophesy to these bones and say to them, ‘Dry bones, hear

the word of the Lord! This is what the Sovereign Lord says to these bones: I will make

breath enter you, and you will come to life. I will attach tendons to you and make flesh

come upon you and cover you with skin; I will put breath in you, and you will come

to life. Then you will know that I am the Lord.’”

Ezekiel 37:4-6 (NIV)

Whatever it is you're going through today, God is saying the same thing to you.

“I will put breath in you, and you will come to life.

Then you will know that I am the Lord.”

Speak to those dry places in your life. Declare what God's Word says. Speak to them by faith. Call those things that be not as though they were. (Romans 4:17)

So, 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. 

Ezekiel 1:7 (NIV)

Can you hear it? Can you hear those dry bones begin to rattle? It's the sound of healing! The sound of victory! The sound of the impossible coming to pass!

He who has begun a good work in you, will complete it.

Philippians 1:6 (NKJV)
