Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: It's your early body praise party. I am a Sherry Mackie,
- 0:03Speaker 1: and it's time right now for today's word. When God
- 0:09Speaker 1: breathes again. When God breathes again, Ezekiel thirty seven twelve says, therefore,
- 0:18Speaker 1: prophesy to them and say, this is what the Sovereign
- 0:22Speaker 1: Lord says. Oh my people, I will open your graves
- 0:26Speaker 1: of exile and cause you to rise again. Then I
- 0:30Speaker 1: will bring you back to the land of Israel. Have
- 0:34Speaker 1: you ever looked at a situation in your life and
- 0:36Speaker 1: thought it's over, There's no way this can come back
- 0:40Speaker 1: to life. Maybe it's a dream that didn't work out,
- 0:43Speaker 1: a relationship that seems too broken to mend, or an
- 0:48Speaker 1: opportunity that feels long gone. That's exactly how the Israelites
- 0:53Speaker 1: felt when they were in exile. Their hope had dried
- 0:57Speaker 1: up like bones scattered in a desert. But into that
- 1:02Speaker 1: hopeless place, God gave Ezekiel a vision, a valley full
- 1:08Speaker 1: of dry bones, and they asked him, can these bones
- 1:12Speaker 1: live again? Ezekiel didn't focus on the impossibility. He simply said,
- 1:18Speaker 1: Sovereign Lord, you alone know that simple statement of faith
- 1:22Speaker 1: opened the door for a miracle. God told him to
- 1:26Speaker 1: prophesy to the bones to speak life where there was none,
- 1:31Speaker 1: And as he did, the bones began to rattle, and
- 1:34Speaker 1: they began to reconnect. Tendon's form. Flesh covered them, and
- 1:38Speaker 1: finally God breathed his spirit into them, raising them up
- 1:43Speaker 1: as a mighty army. God is still breathing life today.
- 1:49Speaker 1: What seems dead, what seems for goodden isn't beyond God's reach.
- 1:53Speaker 1: That business, idea, that vision, that purpose. He hasn't buried it.
- 1:57Speaker 1: He's preparing to resurrect it. When God breathes, what's broken
- 2:02Speaker 1: begins to men, what's empty begins to feel, and what's
- 2:06Speaker 1: hopeless begins to rise again. I know, I get it.
- 2:12Speaker 1: You may feel like your valley of dry bones is
- 2:14Speaker 1: too far gone, But God is saying to you today,
- 2:19Speaker 1: I will open your grace and cause you to rise.
- 2:22Speaker 1: His breath can revive your spirit. His breath can renew
- 2:27Speaker 1: your strength. His breath can restore your joy. So don't
- 2:31Speaker 1: you dare give up. Speak faith into your situation. Say Lord,
- 2:35Speaker 1: I believe you can bring this back to life. Remember,
- 2:40Speaker 1: your story isn't over. It's just waiting for the breath
- 2:44Speaker 1: of God. Oh Father, thank you that you are the
- 2:48Speaker 1: God who breathes life into dry places. Thank you that
- 2:52Speaker 1: nothing in our lives is too far gone for you
- 2:55Speaker 1: to restore. God, we ask that you breathe into our dreams,
- 2:59Speaker 1: our heart, and every area that feels lifeless. God, we
- 3:02Speaker 1: believe that you're bringing things together and reviving what once
- 3:07Speaker 1: seemed impossible in Jesus' name. Hey, now that's your word
- 3:11Speaker 1: for today. Take it applied to your everyday life, and
- 3:15Speaker 1: you continue to be encouraged and inspired. It is your
- 3:18Speaker 1: early morning praise party. I am Sherry Mackie.
