There is power in prophecy. 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. Probably 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 the situation depended solely on him. His decision would determine the state of the bones.
God asked him to prophesy, something that Ezekiel knew was entirely dependent on God. But he took God at his word. He prophesied to the dry situation that was presented to him. Immediately he started to prophesy, 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.
In life we often find ourselves in positions that require our attention, but all we do is whine about them. We cry over them 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!
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 prophesy, the words we utter into the atmosphere create things. This words 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 prophesy again for breath 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 but immediately we start seeing the changes 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 prophesy again to see a permanent change to the situation at hand.
Don’t quit after the first phase of change in the situation but prophesy again until you see a total transformation.
