Speak To The Source - Not The Problem

Then he said to me, "Prophesy to these bones and say to them, 'Dry bones, hear the word of the LORD!
Ezekiel 37:4

When Ezekiel obeyed God and proclaimed, 'Dry bones, hear the word of the Lord...live ...and know that I am God' the Bible says: 'The bones...came together ...lived, and stood up' (Ezekiel 37:7-10). There is a lesson here for us; only the living Word of God can: a) create order out of the chaos in our lives b) give stature, strategies and strength to the church, which is the Body of Christ in the earth c) unite the dry bones of division and discouragement. Without it we have 'form,' but no force and no fire!

You will notice that when Ezekiel prophesied initially, although the bones came together, 'there was no breath in them' (v8). So at that point he ceased talking to the dry bones and went directly to the source - the wind, which represents God's Spirit, saying: 'Breathe upon these slain, that they may live' (v9). You will never experience a divine visitation or a supernatural solution by looking to flesh and blood; that kind of experience comes only from God Himself. When you need His help, you must go directly to the source!

Today if you are struggling with financial pressures, health issues, addictions, or relationship problems, you need a fresh infilling of the Holy Spirit. Job said, 'The breath of the Almighty gives me life' (Job 33:4). So call 'time out,' get alone and pray, 'Holy Spirit breathe on me.'

Prayer
Heavenly Spirit – bring you Holy Spirit to these ole dry bones! Amen
