The Dry Bones in Your Life

And he said unto me, Son of man, can these bones live? And I answered, O Lord GOD, thou knowest.
4Again he said unto me, Prophesy upon these bones, and say unto them, O ye dry bones, hear the word of the LORD." Ezekiel 37:3-4

Do you have situations in your life that seem impossible, or even dead? The prophet in Ezekiel followed the instructions given to him and saw the bones come back to life. You can do the same thing with the circumstances in your life. Not only will the thing that seems dead change, but like the bones, God can breathe new life into it and add the parts that were missing; the sinew and the skin that are necessary for completion. The Word of the Lord resuscitates your dead parts and neutralizes the power of the enemy!

Do you find yourself saying, "Nothing works out for me. There is no way out of this mess. I get attacked no matter which way I turn." If this is what you're prophesying, you are not believing the good report of the Lord for your life! Believe me, I have been down that same path so many times. When my husband Robbie and I first started talking about Open Hands Ministries, my flesh was saying, What are you thinking, Pam? You know nothing about ministry, you have not lived a spotless life, you have issues you need to deal with, on and on with every reason in the book that OHM wouldn't make it. I wasn't talking to my dry bones to get them to live, I was just adding more dry bones to them! Sound familiar? Now I am speaking life into OHM by constantly speaking the Word of God over every situation that we encounter. I surround myself with people who encourage me, who believe that we are moving in the right direction with our ministry. I thank God every day for these beacons of light that He has placed on our journey!

Do not let your feelings or what you're seeing control you; speak the promises of God over your "dry bones". The Word always defeats the enemy. Take control of every situation by following the instructions that the Lord gave the prophet. Tell your mountain of problems - Hear the Word of the Lord. What sweet victory you will have in every corner of your life! Breakthrough to His promises is coming soon!

Lord, thank You that we can speak Your Word over every situation and the dry bones live! We place every problem, every roadblock in Your hands - You are more than capable of handling them all. We commit our ministry, our lives, and our future to You! In the precious name of Jesus~Amen
