Sermon Notes 7/6 – Dry Bones

Dry Bones

Ezekiel 37:4 Dry Bones Hear The Word of the Lord!

1:1-3 Now it came to pass in the THIRTIETH YEAR in the fourth month, on the fifth day of the month as I was among the captives by the River Chebar that the heavens were opened and I saw visions of God.

Israel was in captivity in Babylon because they were on fire then they would fall away from God

Ezekiel = God Strengthens Me

Ezekiel had planned to be ministering in the great Temple of Solomon at the age of thirty

Instead Ezekiel was a slave in Babylon

Things don’t always work out the way we think they should

Being a slave in Babylon Ezekiel may have thought that he would never be used by the Lord again

You’re not too old, you’re not too young. You don’t have to go to bible college to be used by Jesus. Your past does not matter if you are born again and saved, the Lord will use you

Ezekiel did not have to be in Solomon’s glorious temple to be used by the Lord

Dry bones scattered in piles speaks of the spiritual condition of Israel

The vision is of a graveyard that at one time was a battlefield

37:3 And He said to me, Son of Man, can these bones live? So I answered, Oh Lord God You know. There is no human way but You are God and perhaps there is a Supernatural way

Two ingredients the US needs for revival: Our country must have the WORD and the SPIRIT

37:4 Again He said to me, “Prophesy to these bones, and say to them, ‘O dry bones, hear THE WORD OF THE LORD

37:9 Also He said to me, “Prophesy to the BREATH, prophesy, son of man, and say to the BREATH, ‘Thus says the Lord God: “Come from the four winds, O BREATH, and BREATHE on these slain, that they may live.

37:7 So I prophesied as I was commanded and as I prophesied there was a noise and suddenly a rattling and the bones came together bone to bone

Dry Bones Hear the Word of the Lord LIVE
