Dry Bones
I woke one morning with these words upon my lips speak to the bones so I quickly get up and researched it in the Bible and it was Ezekiel 37 so I searched it out and let the bible interprets itself and this is what I found
The power of the Lord was upon me and I was carried away by the Spirit of the Lord to a valley full God says, ‘See! I am going to make you live and breathe again!
I will replace the flesh and muscles on you and cover you with skin. I will put breath into you, and you shall live and know I am the Lord.’”So I spoke these words from God, just as he told me to; and suddenly there was a rattling noise from all across the valley, and the bones of each body came together and attached to each other as they used to be.
as I watched, the muscles and flesh formed over the bones, and skin covered them, but the bodies had no breath.Then he told me to call to the wind and say:
“The Lord God says: Come from the four winds, O Spirit, and breathe upon these slain bodies, that they may live again.”So I spoke to the winds as he commanded me, and the bodies began breathing; they lived and stood up — a very great army.
Then he told me what the vision meant: “These bones,” he said, “represent all the people of Israel. They say: ‘We have become a heap of dried-out bones — all hope is gone.’But tell them, ‘The Lord God says: My people, I will open your graves of exile and cause you to rise again and return to the land of Israel
And, then at last, O my people, you will know I am the Lord.I will put my Spirit into you, and you shall live and return home again to your own land. Then you will know that I, the Lord, have done just what I promised you.’” — Ezekiel 37:1,3-14 TLB
a this message came to me: “Son of dust, prophesy against the false prophets of Israel who are inventing their own visions and claiming to have messages he I tried to stay in the main
I have never told them anything at all. Woe upon them!
And so the Lord says:
“I will crush you because you hunt my people’s souls with all your magic charms. I will tear off the charms and set my people free like birds from cages.I will tear off the magic veils and save my people from you; they will no longer be your victims, and you shall know I am the Lord. Your lies have discouraged the righteous when I didn’t want it so.
And you have encouraged the wicked by promising life, though they continue in their sins.But you will lie no more; no longer will you talk of seeing ‘visions’ that you n
ever saw nor practice your magic, for I will deliver my people out of your hands by destroying you, and you shall know I am the Lord.” — Ezekiel 13:1–2,4-23 23&version=TLB
“O Israel, these ‘prophets’ of yours are as useless as foxes for rebuilding your walls!O evil prophets, what have you ever done to strengthen the walls of Israel against her enemies — by strengthening Israel in the Lord? Instead you have lied when you said, ‘My message is from God!’
God did not send you. And yet you expect him to fulfill your prophecies.Can you deny that you have claimed to see ‘visions’ you never saw, and that you have said, ‘This message is from God,’ when I never spoke to you at all?”Therefore the Lord God says: “I will destroy you for these ‘visions’ and lies.
My hand shall be against you, and you shall be cut off from among the leaders of Israel; I will blot out your names, and you will never see your own country again. And you shall know I am the Lord. For these evil men deceive my people by saying, ‘God will send peace,’ when that is not my plan at all! My people build a flimsy wall, and these prophets praise them for it — and cover it with whitewash!
“Tell these evil builders that their wall will fall. A heavy rainstorm will undermine it; great hailstones and mighty winds will knock it down. And when the wall falls, the people will cry out, ‘Why didn’t you tell us that it wasn’t good enough? Why did you whitewash it and cover up its faults?’Yes, it will surely fall.”
I will say: The wall and its builders both are gone. For they were lying prophets, claiming Jerusalem will have peace when there is no peace,” says the Lord God.“Son of dust, speak out against the women prophets too who pretend the Lord has given them his messages.
Tell them, ‘The Lord God says Woe to these women who are damning the souls of my people, of both young and old alike, by tying magic charms on their wrists, furnishing them with magic veils, and selling them indulgences. They refuse to even offer help unless they get a profit from it.
For the sake of a few paltry handfuls of barley or a piece of bread will you turn away my people from me? You have led those to death who should not die! And you have promised life to those who should not live by lying to my people — and how they love it!’”
The Lord God says: “I will sweep it away with a storm of indignation, with a great flood of anger, and with hailstones of wrath.I will break down your whitewashed wall; it will fall on you and crush you, and you shall know I am the Lord.Then at last my wrath against the wall will be completed; and concerning those who praised it,
“I am the true Vine, and my Father is the Gardener . He lops off every branch that doesn’t produce fruit he prunes those branches that bear fruit for even larger crops. He has already tended you by pruning you back for greater strength and usefulness by means of the commands I gave you. John15
Take care to live in me, and let me live in you. For a branch can’t produce fruit when severed from the vine. Nor can you be fruitful apart from me.“Yes, I am the Vine; you are the branches.
john 15
I will restore the fortunes of my people Israel, and they will rebuild their ruined cities and live in them again; they will plant vineyards and gardens; they will eat their crops and drink their wine.I will firmly plant them there upon the land that I have given them; they shall not be pulled up again,” says john TLB
Whoever lives in me and I in him shall produce a large crop of fruit. For apart from me you can’t do a thing. If anyone separates from me, he is thrown away like a useless branch, withers, and is gathered into a pile with all the others and burned. — John 15:1–6 TLB
I pray the that. These words bless you and that Gods truth shines through.
