Today I woke up with this Scripture on my mind. I know with the Christmas season I have been feeling so off and dry. Today God reminded me of this passage, and as I was listening, I was picturing what it would have looked like seeing this happen. The thing that stood out to me was the bones started to come alive when they were prophesied over. We need to be speaking God’s Word over our life, over our situation. When we do this we are watching our Faith grow and come to life. So today and throughout this season I pray that as you read this passage, you will be encouraged and see that your dreams come alive.

Ezekiel 37:1–10

[1] The hand of the LORD was upon me, and he brought me out in the Spirit of the LORD and set me down in the middle of the valley; it was full of bones.
[2] And he led me around among them, and behold, there were very many on the surface of the valley, and behold, they were very dry.
[3] And he said to me, “Son of man, can these bones live?” And I answered, “O Lord GOD, you know.”
[4] Then he said to me, “Prophesy over these bones, and say to them, O dry bones, hear the word of the LORD.
[5] Thus says the Lord GOD to these bones: Behold, I will cause breath to enter you, and you shall live.
[6] And I will lay sinews upon you, and will cause flesh to come upon you, and cover you with skin, and put breath in you, and you shall live, and you shall know that I am the LORD.”
[7] So I prophesied as I was commanded. And as I prophesied, there was a sound, and behold, a rattling, and the bones came together, bone to its bone.
[8] And I looked, and behold, there were sinews on them, and flesh had come upon them, and skin had covered them. But there was no breath in them.
[9] Then he said to me, “Prophesy to the breath; prophesy, son of man, and say to the breath, Thus says the Lord GOD: Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe on these slain, that they may live.”
[10] So I prophesied as he commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they lived and stood on their feet, an exceedingly great army. (ESV)
