Prophecy Again!

Happy New Year!

There is power in prophecy, when you declare out of your mouth what the Lord has spoken over you.  In Ezekiel 37, Prophet Ezekiel was taken to a valley full of dry bones and he attests that the bones where indeed very dry. This means that the bones could have been there for a couple of years. There was no sign of life in them. God asked him whether the bones could live. This means that he knew it depended wholly on him. His decision would determine the state of the bones. 

God asked him to prophecy. Something that Ezekiel knew was sorely dependant on God. He took God at his word. He prophesied to the dry situation that was presented to him. Immediately he started to prophecy, bones came together, flesh came upon them and covered them. Then he prophesied again unto the four winds and breathe came upon them and there was life. They stood up a great army.

How many situations do we find ourselves in that need our attention, but all we do is whine about it? We cry over it time and again. We wait patiently for things to turn around for us. We beg God asking him to do something. When he has left the entire situation in our hands! Just like a patient in the hands of a doctor, it’s upon him to know what drug the patient needs or what kind of foods he should take to get well.

These were indeed very dry bones that laid there for many years, yet they responded to God's prophecy. Power has been given to us. Power over situations and circumstances!

When we prophecy the words we utter into the atmosphere create things. They begin to form things that we have spoken, one by one things begin to align together. Things that were out of order begin to take shape. And when we experience this, we don't cease at it because we want to see the final product. When the bones came together and flesh there was form but no life! So the prophet had to prophecy again for breathe of God to come upon them and there was life, a mighty army arose.

Sometimes we speak to situations to change in accordance to God's word and immediately we start seeing the change we want we stop there, not knowing that God desires for us to see a complete and permanent solution to our circumstance. Not only a portion of it, but a whole new level! That's why Ezekiel did not quit after the first prophecy but had to prophecy again to see a permanent change to the situation at hand. 

Don't quit after the first phase of change in the situation but prophecy again until the situation is completely transformed!
