November 19th, 2019 by Pastor SolleyEzek 37:1-8 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.
4 Again he said unto me, Prophesy upon these bones, and say unto them, O ye dry bones, hear the word of the Lord.
5 Thus saith the Lord God unto these bones; Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, and ye shall live:
6 And I will lay sinews upon you, and will bring up flesh upon you, and cover you with skin, and put breath in you, and ye shall live; and ye shall know that I am the Lord.
7 So I prophesied as I was commanded: and as I prophesied, there was a noise, and behold a shaking, and the bones came together, bone to his bone.
8 And when I beheld, lo, the sinews and the flesh came up upon them, and the skin covered them above: but there was no breath in them.
KJV
Revival can come but it must come from God to a yielded and submissive soul. Notice that Ezekiel was not commanded to put the bones together, God did. Ezekiel was not commanded to bind them with tendons, God did. Ezekiel was not commanded to cover them with flesh, God did. If there is going to be a revival in our lives it must come from God. I can determine to never miss a church service, never miss a day of reading my Bible, to pray like a workman, but if I have not fully yielded my life to God, have not submitted my self fully to the will of God it will be a work mostly of the flesh. That will make my service and worship of the Lord dry and lifeless. The bones did not put themselves together, God did. Can we be fully yielded and submissive to the will of God? When that answer is yes it is another step to revival.
