The Lord has had me in Ezekiel 37: for two weeks. The conformation by the Spirit came through today.. By:Sandie Freed Prophesy to the Dry Bones: The Time to Access the Unseen is NOW On a recent morning I awoke to the voice of the Lord saying, Its time to rise up with the impartation of Ezekiel to prophesy to the dry bones. For what seems impossible to the natural eye is now possible to access through the eye of faith and a fresh anointing. The time to access the unseen is NOW. There was more He spoke to me, which we will talk about in a bit. For now, I want to focus on the fact that there is a fresh anointing, a fresh mantle, for each of us to receive from Heaven. This anointing will release life to every area that appears desolate, dry, and dead. This anointing is also coupled with resurrection power! Saints of God, its time to begin to access the unseen with a fresh strength, focus, and empowerment! Fruitfulness and fulfillmentAllow me to encourage you today. Take a moment, right now, to pause and reflect on the truth that God is empowering you, placing a fresh mantle upon you, so that you can begin to prophesy and speak to what appears dead, hopeless, and cut-off so to witness fruitfulness and fulfillment once again. Romans 8:9-11 tells us that the same power that raised Christ from the dead is also in us because He lives in us. I believe this means that certainly we will also be resurrected from the dead, as Christ Himself was, but that also we have a divine power within us to resurrect dead situations or promises that appear completely cut off and separated from us. ...But if Christ is in you, your body is dead because of sin, yet your spirit is alive because of righteousness. And if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit, who lives in you. Romans 8:9-11 (NIV) When God points out any area into which we are to begin to prophesy, He gives us the power (as we speak His perfect will) to shift what appears impossible. Many Believers have felt cut-off from their future. How is that? How can we be cut-off or separated from fulfilling destiny? Dear ones, the answer lies within the revelation we receive as we do a careful study of Gods NOW time while also studying Ezekiel 37. Lets delve into that together. Allow me to continue to write more about being cut-off from destiny as this article continues to unfold. Precious Believer, let me assure you – its time to possess your prophetic promises! The Time Is NOW Hebrews 4 is one of my favorite chapters. In this particular chapter, we are encouraged to mix our faith with the Word of the Lord and enter into our Promised Land. This Promised Land is a land full of promises as well as a place of rest. We know today that as New Covenant Believers that this land is not a simple piece of real estate. Jesus Christ is our Promised Land of Rest. We rest in Him and the finished work at the Cross. ContendStill, just as Israel had to go to war for their Promised Land, we also face an enemy in our territory. The Lord also spoke to me very clearly that in this season we will contend against the foreboder. Be on guard! The foreboding spirit is a lying, demonic spirit that falsely prophesies to us! It speaks totally opposite what God speaks concerning us and our destiny. It is a stronghold that is directly connected to the occult. This means that a foreboding spirit attempts to hinder revelation. Dear Believers, dont listen to the lies of the enemy during this season. He will attempt to distract your focus from expecting breakthrough to an expectation of bleak hopelessness. We are encouraged that our time is NOW, or TODAY, and that while it is still today we are to possess what God has given to us! (see Hebrews 4:1-6). God is mantling you to speak your future into existence – to speak to what appears cut off and lost – and possess what is rightfully yours as a Son or Daughter of the King of Kings! So, read on and lets see how to do that together. Prophesy Into Your Future Ezekiel was an example of someone who was mantled with authority to speak into a situation with the purpose of witnessing Gods will come forth. In Ezekiel 36:21-24, we read where Israel had been scattered and it was Gods will to bring them back together and bring them into their own land. Then in Ezekiel 37:1-14 we read how God instructed Ezekiel to speak into a desolate situation: Dry bones can live!The hand of the LORD was upon me, and He brought me out by the Spirit of the LORD and set me in the middle of a valley; it was full of bones. He led me back and forth among them, and I saw a great many bones on the floor of the valley, bones that were very dry. He asked me, Son of man, can these bones live? I said, O Sovereign LORD, You alone know. Then He said to me, Prophesy to these bones and say to them, Dry bones, hear the word of the LORD! This is what the Sovereign LORD says to these bones: I will make breath enter you, and you will come to life. I will attach tendons to you and make flesh come upon you and cover you with skin; I will put breath in you, and you will come to life. Then you will know that I am the LORD. So I prophesied as I was commanded. And as I was prophesying, there was a noise, a rattling sound, and the bones came together, bone to bone. I looked, and tendons and flesh appeared on them and skin covered them, but there was no breath in them. Wind, breatheThen He said to me, Prophesy to the breath; prophesy, son of man, and say to it, This is what the Sovereign LORD says: Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe into these slain, that they may live. So I prophesied as He commanded me, and breath entered them; they came to life and stood up on their feet – a vast army. Then He said to me: Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel. They say, Our bones are dried up and our hope is gone; we are cut off. Therefore prophesy and say to them: This is what the Sovereign LORD says: O My people, I am going to open your graves and bring you up from them; I will bring you back to the land of Israel. Then you, My people, will know that I am the LORD, when I open your graves and bring you up from them. I will put My Spirit in you and you will live, and I will settle you in your own land. Then you will know that I the LORD have spoken, and I have done it, declares the LORD. NIV I hope you noticed the words in bold in this previous passage. Take some time and re-read this passage. As you meditate over the spiritual significance of this Scriptural passage you will notice that there are several dimensions of divine prophetic fulfillment to which we also can attach our faith and witness the resurrection of what was once dead, lost, or cut-off from destiny: 1. When God instructs us to prophesy the word of the Lord, the future and destiny begin to come together in order to become fulfilled. Can you just stop a moment and use your imagination? When Ezekiel prophesied Gods will over those bones, the bones began to come together. Imagine dry, dead bones being resurrected by the word of the Lord and coming together for completion! Now, imagine your scattered prophecies, unfulfilled, being resurrected and coming together once again. Prophecy by prophecy – word by word – rising up with life and coming together to bring you into fulfillment! Wow! How awesome is that? 2. God lifed the words which were spoken! Yes, God put His very breath into those bones to which Ezekiel was prophesying. Imagine life coming into your very own situations which appear dead and desolate. God is breathing life into every area of hope deferred right now! Today! Resurrection3. There was resurrection power released into those dry bones! Dear ones, once again, let me remind you that as you prophesy into your destiny, the same power which resurrected Christ is also alive in you. Expect breakthrough! 4. You will stand! What an encouragement from the Lord He is giving us right now. We will stand and not be defeated in this season. When God resurrects something in our lives – whether it be His resurrecting dreams, vision, hope, or promises – He intends for us to stand in the victory that was already won at the Cross! This means that we need to attach our faith to what He is promising today and stand in that promise. When we witness the breakthrough, we are to still stand and continue to close the door to a foreboding spirit that lies and declares that only doom, gloom, and shameful circumstances are in your near future. 5. You are no longer cut off from being completed – in every area! God has a plan for your life and He is watching over His words concerning you. He is promising to bring the details of your fulfillment together. Sons and Daughters, this is your time to let go of all doubt and unbelief. Let go of religious mindsets that would cause you to believe that God has to do something according to your personal expectations. God will breathe into your situations, yes, but His ways of bringing things together might challenge your mindsets....
