Prophesy, Son of Man, Prophesy!

I woke up today with this in my spirit. As I was sleeping, the Holy Spirit planted this word into my heart, and I believe He wants me to share it with you.

While I was sleeping, I heard these words, and began to wake up. "Son, do you want to be justified when you speak and overcome the enemies of your life? Then always speak My Word over your life. Every Word I speak is true; and every man is a liar. Let My Word reign over your circumstances and when you speak, replace your opinions with the Word I've given you. Then you will be justified in what you say, even as I am, and you will overcome when you are judged and proved right when you make judgments about things in this natural world. Let My Word change the circumstances of your life."

Last night, I was thinking about the different "branches of my life". I was unhappy that there were so many areas of my life that were dead. Though I had good roots in the Word of God and had God's wisdom, I had failed to produce fruit in those areas in my life, and those branches seemed dead. I was talking these problems out loud to my wife, and telling her the steps in the natural I intended to take to overcome those failures. (Isn’t it aggravating how we always have the tendency to fall back to solving our problems with our own good works?) I told her I felt overwhelmed and commented that it was a daunting task to take control and overcome.

Thank God for his marvelous grace. He was ready to show me how to bring life back to those old dead branches of my life. He said, “Prophesy, Son of Man, Prophesy! Speak my Word over your life. Speak to those branches, and tell them to live!”

In Ezekiel 37, God carries Ezekiel in the spirit and sets him a valley full of dead dry bones, and says, “Son of man, can these bones live?” It must have seemed daunting to Ezekiel. Could it be possible that they could live again? Ezekiel gives a wise answer, “Oh Lord God, thou knowest.” And God said, “Prophesy upon these bones, and say, O ye dry bones, hear the Word of the Lord.” And as Ezekiel began to speak God’s Word over those bones, there was a shaking and rattling as the bones came together. Again God said, “Prophesy to the wind, son of man…” and life came to those dry dead bones. And those once dead bones, raised up on their feel, an exceeding great army!

You and I have been given authority to speak life into the valleys of our life. Speak to those things that stand in your way. Speak to sickness and illness. Speak to financial lack and debt. Speak life into your relationships with family, co-workers, and friends. Let God’s Word come from your lips, and let life come back into those dead and dying areas.
