Prophesy God's Blessing (Ezekiel 37:3-5)

Ezekiel 37:3 He asked me, Son of man, can these bones live? I said, Sovereign Lord, you alone know. 4 Then he said to me, Prophesy to these bones and say to them, Dry bones, hear the word of the Lord! 5 This is what the Sovereign Lord says to these bones: I will make breath enter you, and you will come to life.

We see in the above verses that the Lord God was, among other things, questioning Ezekiel about a situation that in human eyes would be impossible:

Ezekiel 37:3 He asked me, Son of man, can these bones live?...

Sometimes you will be led to think that it is all over or that there is no way out, pressured by your problems or the difficult times in your life.

This happens because man has the power of reasoning and if we consider that, Ezekiel's answer to God's questioning in verse 3, thinking like a natural man, would be: NO, IT'S NOT POSSIBLE.

But the answer of Ezekiel, who thought in a spiritual way, was different: Ezekiel 37:3 ...Sovereign Lord, you alone know.

Perhaps you are saying, "My answer would also be YES" because the Bible says: Matthew 19:26 ... With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible..

Yes, but because then there are so many people who think the same way and act desperately and are distressed in certain situations in their life and because we hear from these same people words like: There's no way, never, it's not possible, it won't work, God won't do it, I'm tired of praying...

If you are one of these, it's time to change, play a new role in your life, prophesy and generate the blessings of God that have already been promised to you.

The power of God was manifested there with Ezekiel because he did what God wanted: PROPHETIZED.

God's desire is that we do the same: WE PROPHETIZE OUR BLESSINGS.

Ezekiel 37:4 ... Prophesy to these bones and say to them, Dry bones, hear the word of the Lord!

Prophesy Word of God (Ezekiel 37:4 ... hear the word of the Lord), was what actually generated the power of God for that situation.

So in the difficult and seemingly impossible circumstances around you, prophesy the Word of God.

Say: The Lord is with me always, to the very end of the age.
Say: All things are possible with God.
Say: The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing.
Say: A thousand may fall at my side, ten thousand at my right hand, but it will not come near me.

And many other promises of God that have already been left for you.

Maybe you haven't done that yet, because you really DON'T BELIEVE, and if that's the case, pray to the Lord and tell Him that you've been wrong and that you do have hopes in His providence.

Change your attitudes and benefit from the blessings of God, for you and your family, because as you know or should know, they are already determined for you.

The Lord bless you and keep you.
