Ezekiel 37:1-14

The only Commanding commander is the Lord God. God made His Spirit to set Ezekiel up in the valley of dry bones. The bones were very dry and lifeless. God asked Ezekiel if the bones could have life again and Ezekiel responded that only God knows. In deed and in truth, only God knows how to bring to life what the enemy has taken away in the life of a believer. By virtue of EzekielÕs response, God gave him a command to speak life back into the dry bones. Ezekiel did as was commanded by God; Ezekiel prophesied and the dry bones regained life. Ezekiel 37:10, ÒSo I prophesied as He commanded me, and breath came into them, and they lived, and stood upon their feet, an exceedingly great army.Ó Just as Ezekiel received His command, so Jesus has given His word of command to every believer today. Mark16:17, ÒAnd these signs will follow those who believe: In my name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.Ó The power in His word still remains today except that the carrying out of His command is different than the way it should be. What is missing in the life of believers today that is different from the ones before? Ezekiel allowed the Spirit of God to set him up where God wanted. If we will allow the Spirit of God to set us up where He wants and not where we want, the same power will flow for us. God is true and faithful by His word. Ezekiel knew better by confessing that ÔGod knows.Õ Consistent confession that only God knows will make the difference in the life of each and every believer today.
