Gustave Doré - The Vision of the Valley of Dry Bones, c. 1866

[mybeautifulchristianjourney]

A Valley of Dry Bones

1 The LORD took hold of me, and I was carried away by the Spirit of the LORD to a valley filled with bones. 2 He led me all around among the bones that covered the valley floor. They were scattered everywhere across the ground and were completely dried out. 3 Then he asked me, “Son of man, can these bones become living people again?”

“O Sovereign LORD,” I replied, “you alone know the answer to that.”

4 Then he said to me, “Speak a prophetic message to these bones and say, ‘Dry bones, listen to the word of the LORD! 5 This is what the Sovereign LORD says: Look! I am going to put breath into you and make you live again! 6 I will put flesh and muscles on you and cover you with skin. I will put breath into you, and you will come to life. Then you will know that I am the LORD.’”

7 So I spoke this message, just as he told me. Suddenly as I spoke, there was a rattling noise all across the valley. The bones of each body came together and attached themselves as complete skeletons. 8 Then as I watched, muscles and flesh formed over the bones. Then skin formed to cover their bodies, but they still had no breath in them.

9 Then he said to me, “Speak a prophetic message to the winds, son of man. Speak a prophetic message and say, ‘This is what the Sovereign LORD says: Come, O breath, from the four winds! Breathe into these dead bodies so they may live again.’”

10 So I spoke the message as he commanded me, and breath came into their bodies. They all came to life and stood up on their feet—a great army.

11 Then he said to me, “Son of man, these bones represent the people of Israel. They are saying, ‘We have become old, dry bones—all hope is gone. Our nation is finished.’ 12 Therefore, prophesy to them and say, ‘This is what the Sovereign LORD says: O my people, I will open your graves of exile and cause you to rise again. Then I will bring you back to the land of Israel. 13 When this happens, O my people, you will know that I am the LORD. 14 I will put my Spirit in you, and you will live again and return home to your own land. Then you will know that I, the LORD, have spoken, and I have done what I said. Yes, the LORD has spoken!’”

Reunion of Israel and Judah

15 Again a message came to me from the LORD: 16 “Son of man, take a piece of wood and carve on it these words: ‘This represents Judah and its allied tribes.’ Then take another piece and carve these words on it: ‘This represents Ephraim and the northern tribes of Israel.’ 17 Now hold them together in your hand as if they were one piece of wood. 18 When your people ask you what your actions mean, 19 say to them, ‘This is what the Sovereign LORD says: I will take Ephraim and the northern tribes and join them to Judah. I will make them one piece of wood in my hand.’

20 “Then hold out the pieces of wood you have inscribed, so the people can see them. 21 And give them this message from the Sovereign LORD: I will gather the people of Israel from among the nations. I will bring them home to their own land from the places where they have been scattered. 22 I will unify them into one nation on the mountains of Israel. One king will rule them all; no longer will they be divided into two nations or into two kingdoms. 23 They will never again pollute themselves with their idols and vile images and rebellion, for I will save them from their sinful apostasy. I will cleanse them. Then they will truly be my people, and I will be their God.

24 “My servant David will be their king, and they will have only one shepherd. They will obey my regulations and be careful to keep my decrees. 25 They will live in the land I gave my servant Jacob, the land where their ancestors lived. They and their children and their grandchildren after them will live there forever, generation after generation. And my servant David will be their prince forever. 26 And I will make a covenant of peace with them, an everlasting covenant. I will give them their land and increase their numbers, and I will put my Temple among them forever. 27 I will make my home among them. I will be their God, and they will be my people. 28 And when my Temple is among them forever, the nations will know that I am the LORD, who makes Israel holy.” — Ezekiel 37 | New Living Translation (NLT) Holy Bible, New Living Translation, copyright © 1996, 2004, 2015 by Tyndale House Foundation.

Exhortation - September 22, 2024

2 Kings 3:15-26 - :"…While the harp was being played, the power of the LORD came upon Elisha, and he said, 'This is what the LORD says: This DRY VALLEY will be FILLED with pools of water! You will see NEITHER WIND NOR RAIN, says the LORD, but this valley will be filled with water…"

On an individual level, that DRY VALLEY you've been facing is about to become your very place of refreshing. Just like the Valley of Dry Bones (Ezekiel 37:1-14), nothing is too hard for the Lord. Instead of withdrawing from those hard places, Soak in those places. Worship in those places! Where there was once no living water, there will be pools of soaking in His presence.

In this passage, the Lord specifically said that He would fill these places with "neither wind nor rain." In other words, the source won't make sense. You also won't see or feel it coming It won't be by your effort. What's more, it won't even come by "storm." He merely does it in a way that is not natural, usual, loud, strenuous, or predictable.

Your dry places—those places that have been footholds in the past for the enemy—will now become your weapon against him as they become saturated by the Lord. Just as the blood in this Old Testament passage was prophetic of what Jesus would one day do, the areas of soaking are now going to become prophetic areas. They will become both a testimony of what the Lord has done and a prophecy of what He will do again.

There are places where the Lord is redirecting you—not to cut you off, but to stone up places where good water is "leaking off" and watering what God isn't growing in your life. Placing stones in the "soil" of the enemy has a way of preventing him from growing things too. Stones (testimonies), biblically, are monuments to what God has done. Any time the enemy tries to plant a lie, put a testimony stone there. It stunts the growth instantly.

Now comes a last-ditch effort from the enemy to derail you. It's often loud, exaggerated, out of nowhere, and very stressful. But if you rise above it in peace and see it for what it is, then it will come to nothing. It will fail. Don't pay any attention to it. Instead, enjoy the abundance that the Lord is creating in the places where you least expect it. Shift your focus to expectation and watch what He will do.

Valley of the Dry Bones - Ezekiel 37

[postfuturistikarcturus]

''Head down running from the beast Breakneck speed taking all my breath Black feet scraped and scarred and dripping blood Rain come down take me with your flood''

[allscripture]

THE DRY BONES LIVE

37 The hand of the Lord came upon me and brought me out in the Spirit of the Lord, and set me down in the midst of the valley; and it was full of bones.

2 Then He caused me to pass by them all around, and behold, there were very many in the open valley; and indeed they were very dry.

3 And He said to me, “Son of man, can these bones live?” So I answered, “O Lord God, You know.”

4 Again He said to me, “Prophesy to these bones, and say to them, ‘O dry bones, hear the word of the Lord!

5 Thus says the Lord God to these bones: “Surely I will cause breath to enter into you, and you shall live.

6 I will put sinews on you and bring flesh upon you, cover you with skin and put breath in you; and you shall live. Then you shall know that I am the Lord.”

7 So I prophesied as I was commanded; and as I prophesied, there was a noise, and suddenly a rattling; and the bones came together, bone to bone.

8 Indeed, as I looked, the sinews and the flesh came upon them, and the skin covered them over; but there was no breath in them.

9 Also He said to me, “Prophesy to the breath, prophesy, son of man, and say to the breath, Thus says the Lord God: “Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe on these slain, that they may live.”

10 So I prophesied as He commanded me, and breath came into them, and they lived, and stood upon their feet, an exceedingly great army.
