Dead Bones That Live
()
Introduction:
has been preached by a number of preachers (pulpiteers)
In fact, you don’t even have to be a preacher / God to VBS
And you will be familiar with …
(Dem bones, dem bones, them dry bones / repeat)
(Oh hear the word of the Lord)
The toe bone connected to the heel bone,
Heel bone connected to the foot bone / (Left me out there by myself)
But we grew up hearing those songs
Preachers preached it for years / Climaxed the sermon the same way
(Connecting the bones together / Good voice & know anatomy – Job)
And for years we sang and talked about it
But we really didn’t know what meant
And in the absence of information / People became creative with text
We miss the revelation of the text
And we end up with a cute story / That means nothing to us
Body:
(Appreciate) – Ezekiel is a prophet
When he talks about (dry bones in the valley)
God has taken him up (Spirit) / To see a vision
And the vision is not so that we might have (songs or sermons)
But that Israel may have a revelation (understanding)
Of the prophetic value that God was going to place in their lives
When Ezekiel speaks about the dry bones (in the valley)
He’s trying to get them to understand / They will go through a period
Where they will be completely scattered (dismembered / fragmented)
That as a nation / The kingdom will be divided
(Southern Kingdom – Judah (taken into exile by Babylon)
(Northern – Israel (taken into captivity by Assyria)
But God promises them ()
(God) – I will not leave your life in a scattered state
(God) – Not that you won’t go through scattering circumstances
(God) – But, I will not leave you in a scattered state
(God) – But I will bring back together (those things in your life)
(God) – That were fragmented and out of place
Point:
This OT prophecy / Which is about the nation of Israel
Is God’s promise / That I will not leave you scattered as a nation
(God keeps His promises)
It’s good to know (God will not leave your life in a scattered state)
Point:
Because if you don’t understand that / You will run into some problems
(Jesus) – Talks about the danger of being scattered / divided
(Reference) – (Cast of demons by Beelzebul)
Point:
Anytime something is fragmented / It loses its power to stand
That is also true with life
Life will break you down (fragment you) / Find yourself scattered
And now you’re vulnerable to the enemy / Because you’re scattered
Concept: Before I go deeper into this concept
Appreciate / As a NT Believer / Most of our strength is predicated
On our unity
If we lose our unity / We divide our members / Lose our strength
And we can’t operate in the power that we really have
Point: God has fixed your faith / A great deal of your power
When you are positively and spiritually connected with another believer
Because, One Thing the enemy (nacash) hates
Positive & Spiritual agreement with believers
And “he” will do everything he can
To prevent you from having agreement
Observation: He doesn’t so much fight your ability to connect with God
But he does fight your ability to connect with each other
Because the Power of God / Truly Releases
When God sees us connecting (positively & spiritually) with one another
Point: Imagine what would happen (If you really believed this Word)
(Walk in / Finding other spiritual believers)
(Believers) – (Let’s come into agreement)
(I’m being attacked) / (my job, finances, marriage) / Break stronghold
Imagine What would happen to Cancer…
Point: If we stopped worrying about…
(she thinks she’s cute / he thinks he’s something)
If we ever got beyond these (petty, divisions that divide us)
That stops us from being connected / Truly came together (spiritually)
Reference: (Pentecost) – (Disciples in one-place & one accord)
(Suddenly) / Came a noise from heaven
(God was waiting on them / Get in one-place & one-accord)
Powerful Things Begin To Happen
Point: Whether you’re (Singing a Song / Hearing a Sermon)
Whenever you come into agreement about / The Power of God
Falls on that agreement
Point: You can preach (good & powerful) message
But if you preach it to a house / That doesn’t come into agreement on it
It doesn’t release the power that it could / Not connected to the Word
But if they ever get connected with that Truth / The Power of God
Is released in a supernatural way
Point: The same is true with our Singing…
Something is supposed to happen when we get together
Point:
1st – My soul needs to be fed / So I can get direction for the week
So I can fight off the enemy
2nd – I need to be in an environment / With other believers
Who are positively & spiritually driven by God
So we can rebuke the powers of the enemy / Break the strongholds…
Point: Yes, I can rebuke the enemy / By myself
Even though I’m bad by myself / I’m always better when I have backup
From other focused believers
Point: Your strength is in your connections / In the skeleton structure
The strength is in the connections
Point: But you can’t gain connections / Talking in code
