I don’t know about you, but some days turning on the television or scrolling social media or even reading a newspaper has become the hardest and worst thing you can possibly do. The evil and the madness that is around us every day is enough to make any heart cry out, why? Why? Every disaster, every altercation, every discrimination bold and prominently displayed on every form of communication. Some days I would love nothing more than to close myself off from caring, protect myself and stay well away. But then I was shown something I did not expect. Quietly, in the background something else has been working. God is on the move. These things do not grab the headlines; these things do not make money for the media moguls. God is on the move. Revival has broken out on the Earth. People are turning back to God in droves, finding the peace that only Jesus can give, gathering to worship the King of Kings. The enemy may be working overtime, but he is fighting a losing war. God has already won.
‘The hand of the Lord was on me, and he brought me out by his Spirit and set me down in the middle of the valley; it was full of bones. He led me all around them. There were a great many of them on the surface of the valley, and they were very dry. Then he said to me, “Son of man, can these bones live?” I replied, “Lord God, only you know.” He said to me, “Prophesy concerning these bones and say to them: Dry bones, hear the word of the Lord! This is what the Lord God says to these bones: I will cause breath to enter you, and you will live. I will put tendons on you, make flesh grow on you, and cover you with skin. I will put breath in you so that you come to life. Then you will know that I am the Lord.” So, I prophesied as I had been commanded. While I was prophesying, there was a noise, a rattling sound, and the bones came together, bone to bone. As I looked, tendons appeared on them, flesh grew, and skin covered them, but there was no breath in them. He said to me, “Prophesy to the breath, prophesy, son of man. Say to it: This is what the Lord God says: Breath, come from the four winds and breathe into these slain so that they may live!” So, I prophesied as he commanded me; the breath entered them, and they came to life and stood on their feet, a vast army. Then he said to me, “Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel. Look how they say, our bones are dried up, and our hope has perished; we are cut off.’ Therefore, prophesy and say to them, ‘This is what the Lord God says: I am going to open your graves and bring you up from them, my people, and lead you into the land of Israel. You will know that I am the Lord, my people, 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 am the Lord. I have spoken, and I will do it. This is the declaration of the Lord.’” ‘
—Ezekiel 37:1-14 CSB
When the world seems more cruel than usual, when the days are harder than ever before, look up. God is moving in our midst. He is calling up his generation, bringing us back to the throne. John 14 verse 12-14 says, “Truly I tell you, the one who believes in me will also do the works that I do. And he will do even greater work than than these, I am going to the Father. Whatever you ask in my name, I will do it so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask me anything in my name, I will do it. We were chosen for such a time as this. He knew this lost and dying world needed us here at this exact moment. Watch and pray. He will show you what he is doing, and he can and will use you to fan the fire of his revival. Have a blessed day y’all!
