Is God Breathing Into the "Dry Bones" of His Church?

Pastor Louie Giglio of Passion City Church in Atlanta visited Asbury Chapel this week which lead into his message from Ezekiel 37 telling the story of "Dry Bones" where God says, "I will put My Breath in you and you will come to life." This is a message for the church today that is expectantly praying for revival.

Ezekiel 37:1-14 'The hand of the Lord was on me, and he brought me out by the Spirit of the Lord and set me in the middle of a valley; it was full of bones. He led me back and forth among them, and I saw a great many bones on the floor of the valley, bones that were very dry. He asked me, “Son of man, can these bones live?” I said, “Sovereign Lord , you alone know.”

Then he said to me, “Prophesy to these bones and say to them, ‘Dry bones, hear the word of the Lord ! This is what the Sovereign Lord says to these bones: I will make breath enter you, and you will come to life. I will attach tendons to you and make flesh come upon you and cover you with skin; I will put breath in you, and you will come to life. Then you will know that I am the Lord .’ ”

So I prophesied as I was commanded. And as I was prophesying, there was a noise, a rattling sound, and the bones came together, bone to bone. I looked, and tendons and flesh appeared on them and skin covered them, but there was no breath in them.

Then he said to me, “Prophesy to the breath; prophesy, son of man, and say to it, ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: Come, breath, from the four winds and breathe into these slain, that they may live.’ ”

So I prophesied as he commanded me, and breath entered them; they came to life and stood up on their feet—a vast army. Then he said to me: “Son of man, these bones are the people of Israel. They say, ‘Our bones are dried up and our hope is gone; we are cut off.’

Therefore prophesy and say to them: ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: My people, I am going to open your graves and bring you up from them; I will bring you back to the land of Israel. Then you, my people, will know that I am the Lord , when I open your graves and bring you up from them. I will put my Spirit in you and you will live, and I will settle you in your own land. Then you will know that I the Lord have spoken, and I have done it, declares the Lord .’ ” '  https://my.bible.com/bible/111/EZK.37.1-14

Elevation Church wrote an inspiring worship song "RATTLE" about the "Dry Bones" story.

Lyrics: Saturday was silent Surely it was through But since when has impossible Ever stopped You

Friday’s disappointment Is Sunday’s empty tomb Since when has impossible Ever stopped You

This is the sound Of dry bones rattling This is the praise Make a dead man walk again Open the grave I'm coming out I'm gonna live Gonna live again This is the sound Of dry bones rattling!

Pentecostal fire Stirring something new You're not gonna run out of miracles Anytime soon

Resurrection power Runs in my veins too I believe there's another miracle Here in this room!

My God is able to save And deliver and heal And restore anything that He wants to

Just ask the man Who was thrown On the bones of Elisha If there’s anything that He can’t do

Just ask the stone That was rolled At the tomb in the garden What happens when God says to move

I feel Him moving it now I feel Him doing it now I feel Him doing it now Do it now

LIVE! LIVE! Dry bones Hear the word of the Lord!

This is what He said! God said live And the bones began to RATTLE!
