\"\"<\/h6>\n
A few days before I went to see the final episode of season 5 of the Chosen. This thought came to me, \u201cShall these bones live?\u201d I knew it was part of a scripture, but didn\u2019t remember where it was found in the Bible.<\/h6>\n
Then in the movie, there was a scene where Jesus was in the garden and he walked and saw all these bones piled up and a man said to him, \u201cShall these bones live?\u201d<\/h6>\n
Then Tuesday night, at a bible study we attend on zoom, Todd, who teaches the study mentioned for us to read Ezekiel 36-40. I spent the next day listening to it and there in chapter 37 again, was the scripture for, \u201cShall these bones live?\u201d I was beginning to get the message; God was trying to tell me something. Three times he brought these words to my attention.<\/h6>\n
What are you telling me, Father<\/em>?<\/h6>\n
This morning as is His custom, Holy Spirit began to speak to me. I was very discouraged in body, mind and spirit. I will spare you all my woes\u2026but suffice it to say, I wanted to give up. But my precious friend and comforter, Holy Spirit said this to me.<\/h6>\n
\u201cYou have a choice. You can choose to wallow in self-pity, or, you can choose to live. I gave you a new life, an abundant life and this life is not yours; it is mine. How will you spend my life? Daughter, change your perspective. You are still alive don\u2019t waste my life. Be diligent! Be bold! Shall these bones live again? They shall. Speak to these bones, and say to them, O ye dry bones, hear the word of the Lord.<\/em><\/h6>\n
Thus, saith the Lord<\/em> God<\/em> unto these bones; Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, and ye shall live:<\/strong><\/em>\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/h6>\n
So, I say to you today, stop wallowing, and complaining, DO NOT GIVE UP! LIVE! Yea I say unto you, LIVE~ If you are a child of the living God, no matter how old you are as long as there is breath in you, say to these dead bones, \u201cCOME ALIVE!\u201d It\u2019s not your life you\u2019re living; it is HIS! Be about The Father\u2019s business, there is no time to waste! Seize the moment. Keep walking. Keep getting up. Keep living. Souls are at stake! That which is dead will live again. Abraham and Sarah\u2019s body could not bring life, but God said\u2026you will have a son.<\/h6>\n
Lazarus died but he lived again.<\/h6>\n
Jesus was killed, and buried in a tomb, three days later He Came Alive! The first fruits of the resurrection.<\/h6>\n
Only one life will soon, be past, only what\u2019s done for Christ will last! Oh, ye dry bones, hear the word of the Lord! New breath I breathe into you today. Dry bones, Live!<\/em><\/h6>\n

Ezekiel 37:1-14 KJV – <\/strong>The\u00a0hand of the Lord was upon me, and carried me out in the spirit of the Lord, and set me down in the midst of the valley, which was full of bones,<\/em><\/h6>\n
2\u00a0<\/sup><\/strong>And caused me to pass by them round about: and behold, there were very many in the open valley; and, lo, they were very dry.<\/em><\/h6>\n
3\u00a0<\/sup><\/strong>And he said unto me, Son of man, can these bones live? And I answered, O Lord God, thou knowest.<\/em><\/h6>\n
4\u00a0<\/sup><\/strong>Again he said unto me, Prophesy upon these bones, and say unto them, O ye dry bones, hear the word of the Lord.<\/em><\/h6>\n
5\u00a0<\/sup><\/strong>Thus saith the Lord God unto these bones; Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, and ye shall live:<\/em><\/h6>\n
6\u00a0<\/sup><\/strong>And I will lay sinews upon you, and will bring up flesh upon you, and cover you with skin, and put breath in you, and ye shall live; and ye shall know that I am the Lord.<\/em><\/h6>\n
7\u00a0<\/sup><\/strong>So I prophesied as I was commanded: and as I prophesied, there was a noise, and behold a shaking, and the bones came together, bone to his bone.<\/em><\/h6>\n
8\u00a0<\/sup><\/strong>And when I beheld, lo, the sinews and the flesh came up upon them, and the skin covered them above: but there was no breath in them.<\/em><\/h6>\n
9\u00a0<\/sup><\/strong>Then said he unto me, Prophesy unto the wind, prophesy, son of man, and say to the wind, Thus saith the Lord God; Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe upon these slain, that they may live.<\/em><\/h6>\n
10\u00a0<\/sup><\/strong>So I prophesied as he commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they lived, and stood up upon their feet, an exceeding great army.<\/em><\/h6>\n
11\u00a0<\/sup><\/strong>Then he said unto me, Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel: behold, they say, our bones are dried, and our hope is lost: we are cut off for our parts.<\/em><\/h6>\n
12\u00a0<\/sup><\/strong>Therefore prophesy and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, O my people, I will open your graves, and cause you to come up out of your graves, and bring you into the land of Israel.<\/em><\/h6>\n
13\u00a0<\/sup><\/strong>And ye shall know that I am the Lord, when I have opened your graves, O my people, and brought you up out of your graves,<\/em><\/h6>\n
14\u00a0<\/sup><\/strong>And shall put my spirit in you, and ye shall live, and I shall place you in your own land: then shall ye know that I the Lord have spoken it, and performed it, saith the Lord.<\/em><\/h6>\n
