HAPPY WITH CHURCH TONIGHT

The valley of dead, dry bones (Ez 37:1-14)

Revival means ‘open heavens’ and the Holy Spirit pouring down in a specific area. The atmosphere changes; the people change, radically and eternally. There is acceleration in the spirit realm. The backsliders come back home, the sinners are saved, the sick and healed, the burden of many generations lifted.

The hand of the Lord is upon Ezekiel. The power, resources, direction, strategy, the intimate fellowship and ministry of the Spirit is ‘the engine’ of revival.

Revival starts with hunger for more of God. The Author of revival is God Almighty. We are to trust, obey and pray for it!

The Holy Spirit carried Ezekiel to a valley full of many bones. The words ‘many bones’ mean abundance of prosperity. The natural people see only death, failure and defeat. With prophetic eyes we see that in the very place where all hope is gone, the power of resurrection shall ignite the miracle of life and prosperity.

The bones of wicked men are buried and the soil covers them. They are forgotten by God and man. But this valley full of bones is an ‘open valley’, it is not covered with sand, it is not forgotten. The open valley means there is hope, that God remembers me in my lowest estate and I shall stand, I shall live, to give glory to His name!

The city of Warri has suffered much. All the inhabitants here desire to ‘travel abroad’. No one really likes to stay here. The streets are dirty and the electric power unstable. There are kidnappers and armed robbers. The markets are full of cheats and violence is the native language.    

But with the eyes of faith and the breath of the Spirit, we prayed and prophesied for Warri tonight. God is pleased with our evening sacrifice.  He promised us that if we pray for this ‘ugly’ city we shall be receive ‘blessings without struggle’.

The Word prophesied in song by a little girl of ten was this:

“If you believe, you shall see My glory…This is My glory, if you believe…

Lord I believe, I stand in Your glory…Glory….Glory…”

Amen!
