Can These Dry Bones Live?

Ok. So over the course of my life I have been on the mountain top and in the valley. I've also been in the desert. The desert is not a fun place....but I know God had a purpose for me walking through the desert. For a long time, I wandered through the desert like the Israelites...I was distracted by the things the world was offering. I would get back on track but then something shiny would come by and I'd lose focus. In the past couple of years, I've really felt a change in my focus. It's been a slow refocusing. And lately, I really feel that I'm standing on the edge of the desert (about time!). It's like I know I'm going to step into what God has for me soon. Over and over again, I keep hearing will these dry bones live again. So I finally called the Bible expert...a.k.a. Nance or my grandma. She told me where to find it in the scriptures. So I finally found Ezekiel 37. Ezekiel is lead to this valley of dry, dead bones. God asks him "Can these dry bones live again?" To which Ezekiel said "Only You know Lord." After that God told Ezekiel to prophesy life into the bones. When Ezekiel begin to speak to the bones telling them to grow muscles and connect together, the whole valley of dry bones begin to grow muscles and be put back together. Then God told him to speak to the winds and command it to breathe life in to the bones. So he did. And the wind came and put the breath of life into the bones. This is exactly where I am in life. My bones...my spirit man has been in the desert and dry for way too long. It's time for me to speak life to my bones. To become saturated with the breath of God. No more dry bones. I want to be full of God...full of His love. My prayer is that I become so saturated with God. I don't want to be a Christian who lives life with standards of the world. God hasn't called us to be that kind of Christian. We're called to stand apart. The Bible even tells us to be in the world but not of it. Too much these days, we're so worried about being politically correct or we're afraid of what someone's going to say. Well I don't care anymore! It's time for us to become saturated with God and not just on Sundays. Speak to your dry bones...whatever areas you've been lacking God...don't stay dry anymore. This is not easy. Satan will come against you. He tries to come against me all the time. But i'm determined...stubborn for God. No more dry bones!!

I'm praying for you.
