Ezekiel 37:1-12 KJV
Service Gallery
The hand of the Lord was upon me, and carried me out in the spirit of the Lord, and set me down in the midst of the valley which was full of bones. [2] And caused me to pass by them round about: and, behold, there were very many in the open valley; and, lo, they were very dry. [3] And he said unto me, Son of man, can these bones live? And I answered, O Lord God, thou knowest.
— Ezekiel 37:1-3 KJVUnderstanding Consumers vs. Producers
There is a fundamental difference between a consumer and a producer. Producers sharpen society through their contributions and innovations. Consumers, on the other hand, do not sharpen society; they are a burden rather than a blessing. We are called to be producers who create value and bring positive change to our communities.
The Valleys in Our Lives
There are many valleys in our lives—hidden places where we struggle alone. These valleys contain things we cannot share with our neighbors, things that are like thorns in our flesh. While we deal with everything visible on the mountain, there are hidden things in the valley that we have not yet addressed. These are the sins and struggles that only God knows about.
Reputation is what people know about you, but character is what God knows about you. We must go into the valley and address the things that limit us. The things we do not address today will undress us tomorrow.
The Hand of the Lord Upon You
Before entering the valley, you must ensure that the hand of the Lord is upon you. The hand of the Lord speaks of terrific signs and wonders in your life. It represents divine vision and divine backup. When the hand of the Lord is upon you, you will not perish in the valley. Even if you pass through valleys of infirmity, you will face no harm.
- The hand of the Lord means divine inspiration and divine backup
- When the hand of the Lord is upon you, no plan of the enemy shall prevail
- The purpose of the Lord will always prevail against the plans of the enemy
- The hand of the Lord bypasses the qualifications we have or do not have
- Declare the hand of the Lord in every aspect of your life: career, family, business, and children
Overcoming Limitations and Elevation
When the hand of the Lord is upon you, you will overtake those who had money and success before you. Let those who look down upon you continue doing so, because the hand of the Lord will elevate your life. There is no reason in your life that can stop God from using you. You will prosper in life without the qualifications required by the world.
Even if it is very dry, the hand of the Lord will make it possible. In everything you do, there will be people who speak negatively toward you. They shall comment about your life, but you must focus on the main action. Chase what God has programmed for you and do not worry about negative comments and discouragement.
God's Question of Elevation
God's question is a question of elevation. When God asks you a question, He is removing you from the realm of the physical to the realm of the spirit where everything is possible. God's things happen instantly because they are miracles. There is nothing that is too hard for God.
God wants to change your identity. Your identity has nothing to do with your identity card; it is spiritual. You have a spiritual identity. Your faith should not rest on human wisdom, but on the power of God. The hand of the Lord is not shortened to do the math of your life.
Speaking to Your Situation
Prophesy whatever you want into your life. Do not beat about the bush. When you are praying for something, be specific about the exact thing that you want. If it is a job, be specific about the job you want. Jesus specifically spoke to the fig tree and it dried. He specifically spoke to the storm and it stopped. Be specific about the person you want to marry.
Ezekiel was told to speak to the dry bones for them to live again. Tell your situation that it will turn around. Speak the opposite of your situation. Time is coming when you will bring solutions to your society and do great things. You are a sign, a wonder, and a miracle. You are not going to be dry and poor. Prophesy into your life.
Becoming a Societal Changer
We shall have a better life with God. We shall be societal and global changers. God has made us gods to our situations, just like He made Moses a god to Pharaoh. It is a command to open your mouth and speak to your situation. Do not be a fearful person; it is time to show the world what God can do.
God is removing everything that causes delays in our lives. Everything that causes delays in your life has expired and has been suspended. Your life begins right now. We have been given the keys of the Kingdom, and we are unlocking miracles. We need to learn how the system of the Kingdom of God operates, for it is different from the system of this world.
Whenever God puts us in high places, He does so for us to change society and not be corrupt. How can God promote you when you cannot deal with your level of life right now? Pray for the spirit of prophecy and the gift of interpreting tongues. These gifts are not just for pastors and leaders; they are for everyone who is gifted, regardless of their position.
