It is interesting to see that when God tool the prophet into the valley with full bones and all of them were really dry. After showing that to the prophet God asked him an intriguing question, “Son of man, can these bones live?” The valley at times will represent death and in this text we see that this place was filled with so many dry bones. We know that this represents an army of people that lost their lives in the battle and God referred that army to the whole house of Israel. In our walk on this journey of live, some of us have gotten to a point where they fill as if they have lost their lives, they have lost their hope and feel cut off from everything, from their dreams, desires, and plans.

Like the people of Israel God is asking us that same question today, Can these bones live? Our attitude and trust in God will determine if these bones will live or not. God asked the prophet to prophesy in other word he asked him to proclaim His word over the situation. We have to understand if we want to see things change in our lives we will need to proclaim not what we see but God’s Word over what we see. What is God saying about your situation ? When we look at the end of this story we see God telling His people that He is coming down to open the graves, cause them to come out of anything that kept them in a position of death. Romans tells us that: “But if the same Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you.”

If The Spirit of God lives in you, you have the hope of resurrection, the hope a living again, the hope of restoration. Today I pray that you will look at everything that is dead in your life and start proclaiming the Living Word of God over each and everyone of them. You will prophecy over your life, the life that God gives and the restauration that come as a result.
