Ezekiel 37:14 (NIV) – “I will put my Spirit in you and you will live, and I will settle you in your own land. Then you will know that I the LORD have spoken, and I have done it, declares the LORD.”
The Holy Spirit gives us the power to live resurrectionally. He sees that God’s promise becomes our reality…because when God speaks, life happens! But only complete surrender will take us into this reality and God’s miracle of resurrection of the dead bones we are yearning for. Complete surrender is the prelude to resurrection of the dead bones of our broken dreams and unmet goals.
Out of surrender comes a life that speaks God’s word boldly and powerfully. It’s a renewed life that lives resurrectionally and speaks into the valleys around us until bones have come alive. We can have a brand-new life today that prophetically lives and fearlessly speaks of the “God who gives life to the dead and calls into being things that were not” (Rom 4:17).
Let’s worship by singing the song, “Won’t Stop Now” by Elevation Worship and then close in prayer. (Click Here)
Prayer: Lord, empower our churches and campus ministries to live prophetically and proclaim to those in the valley of dry bones around us, “Come alive in Christ.” We need your miracles. Fill us with courage and love to enter the valleys around us and live Spirit-filled and available to you, “…the God who gives life to the dead and calls into being things that were not.”
