If You Don’t Plant, You Won’t Harvest!

Seems God has taken me back to my favorite passage this morning after listening to a very challenging yet confirming Word last night. Ezekiel 37:1-14 MSG and if you’ll allow me, I’ll change it as the Lord showed me last night;

1-2 God grabbed me. God’s Spirit took me up and set me down in the middle of an open plain strewn with bones. He led me around and among them—a lot of bones (VISIONS & DREAMS)! There were bones VISIONS & DREAMS) all over the plain—dry bones (VISIONS & DREAMS), bleached by the sun.

He said to me, “Son of man, can these bones (VISIONS & DREAMS) live?”

I said, “Master God, only you know that.”

He said to me, “Prophesy over these bones (VISIONS & DREAMS): ‘(VISIONS & DREAMS)Dry bones, listen to the Message of God!’”

5-6 God, the Master, told the (VISIONS & DREAMS) dry bones, “Watch this: I’m bringing the breath of life to you and you’ll come to life. I’ll attach sinews to you, put meat on your bones, cover you with skin, and breathe life into you. You’ll (YOUR VISIONS & DREAMS WILL) come alive and you’ll realize that I am God!”

7-8 I prophesied just as I’d been commanded. As I prophesied, there was a sound and, oh, rustling! The bones (VISIONS & DREAMS) moved and came together, bone to bone. I kept watching. Sinews formed, then muscles on the bones, then skin stretched over them. But they had no breath in them.

He said to me, “Prophesy to the breath. Prophesy, son of man. Tell the breath, ‘God, the Master, says, Come from the four winds. Come, breath. Breathe on these slain (VISIONS & DREAMS) bodies. Breathe life!’”

10 So I prophesied, just as he commanded me. The breath entered them and they came alive! They stood up on their feet, a huge army.

11 Then God said to me, “Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel. Listen to what they’re saying: ‘Our bones (VISIONS & DREAMS) are dried up, our hope is gone, there’s nothing left of us.’

12-14 “Therefore, prophesy. Tell them, ‘God, the Master, says: I’ll dig up your graves and bring you out alive—O my people! Then I’ll take you straight to the land of Israel. When I dig up graves and bring you out as my people, you’ll realize that I am God. I’ll breathe my life into you (YOUR VISIONS & DREAMS) and you’ll (THEY’LL) live. Then I’ll lead you straight back to your land and you’ll realize that I am God. I’ve said it and I’ll do it. God’s Decree.’”

This is HUGE, people! I heard the Lord challenge me for the next 90 days to prophesy over my visions and dreams, prophetic words spoken over me long ago, things that look dead because of situations and circumstances. They may LOOK dead, but God said he would breathe on them and they would come to life. That is what I needed to hear. You may think I’ve lost my mind, but what you DON’T know is, I’ve already done this over my children and God heard me and answered me. I know him as a God who hears and answers. I know him as life giver. Is anything too hard for God?

I don’t care what you face, how dead and hopeless it may look, it may be foreclosure on your house and the Lord gave you a vision of a HUGE house for a greater purpose. PROPHESY!  You may have heard you have cancer in your body and you don’t have long to live but God gave you a vision of long life, PROPHESY TO YOUR BODY! It may be loss of a job or relationship, dead marriage, dead dreams, dead visions, whatever it is, now is not the time to walk away, now is the time to straighten your spine, put on your Word and PROPHESY; LIVE!

Father, thank you for letting me see as you see; dead things resurrected. I will speak to those visions you’ve given me to live. I will speak life into them and they will live. You said in your Word that ‘first a seed must fall into the ground and die before it can yield fruit,’ but yield fruit it will because you’ve told us to water the seed, fertilize the seed and you would cause the sun to shine on it and make it grow. Thank you Lord for your Word. It will give increase. It will bring life. In Jesus’ Name, AMEN!
