Restore, Resurrect, Rise, Reward
“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. And He said to me, “Son of man, can these bones live?” So I answered, “O Lord God, You know.””
Ezekiel 37:2-3 NKJV
We are about to enter a new season of experiencing God in a way that has never before been seen in the earth. Read this carefully and follow the steps to prepare yourself to enter this new place of destiny. The wounded will see the future as holding disgrace and defeat but those with a renewed mind will see the plans of God for conquest and victory and will partner with those plans!
What did it mean when Ezekiel said Lord only you “know”? Let’s look at the concordance definition of his Hebrew word “know”.
To Know: to perceive, discern, ascertain, recognize.
What did God see when he looked at those dry dead bones? New potential!
“Then He who sat on the throne said, “Behold, I make all things new.” And He said to me, “Write, for these words are true and faithful.””
Revelation 21:5 NKJV
God is making all things new so that we can enter this new season with a renewed mind. Allow him to heal old wounds from old places of glory. Don’t try to go back and redig wells from old places of glory.
God is constantly making all things new in your life and old things are passing further and further away. Let them go!
Allow God to heal any hope deferred that you might be carrying in your heart from the past. You believed and expected a different outcome. You saw and released faith to do certain things for God and now when you think of those things there is pain in your heart because it’s been so long and it never happened. Some of you may be carrying such pain that you resist God’s efforts to encourage you with further visions of His plans and purposes.
Pray: God today I release from my heart the pain of what might have been, the wound of what I expected never coming to pass and I receive Your perfect redemptive plan for my life which is far greater than what I had imagined and expected in the past.
“And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.”
Romans 12:2 NKJV
Don’t get stuck in what’s going on in the world. Keep your thoughts on Christ and the divine redemptive plan He is currently working behind the scenes.
From now on when your look in the mirror you will see a new creation full of potential with a story that has not yet been written! A new story!
Pray: God reveal to me lies that I’ve believe that have trapped or hindered me from moving forward. Speak a truth to me to replace the lie.
“She is clothed with strength and dignity, and she laughs without fear of the future.”
Proverbs 31:25 NLT
This is a great verse speaking into who you are and how you are seen in Heaven. You are clothed with strength and dignity.
Pray: God you have just done a powerful life altering work in my spirit. I walk in your favor and blessing. I bring joy to the places I enter. People are glad to see me because I bring peace and order. I will never be ashamed. My enemies will never rejoice in my defeat. I’m radiant with the love of Christ.
“Devote yourselves to prayer with an alert mind and a thankful heart.”
Colossians 4:2 NLT
This period of time requires an alert mind and a thankful heart
Discipline yourself for this next month to thank God for everything you can imagine. Thank Him and celebrate what he has done and is doing. Have private celebrations in your homes at mealtimes. Honor God for everything you can think of. Once you start more and more things will come to mind.
You have made the shift today from prisoners of hope to children of destiny!
