The Valley of Dry Bones

Ezekiel 37:1-14

     I: Exekiel set a watchman to Israel:

1. They were in captivity a long ways from home.

2. They were few in number.

3. They had given up hope.

4. Their harps were hung on the willow trees; No songs in their hearts.

5. They had refused God.

 

II: “I Sat Where They Sat.”

1. No one is fit to speak for God until he is able to wear the other mans shoes. (compassion).

2. He heard their complaints.

3. He had gone in bitterness to those who were preoccupied with their own problems.

4. Their God was too small to deliver them (He may have been dead)!

5. “Our homes are dried up we are like dead men.”

 

III: “The hand of the Lord was upon me.”

1. Ezekiel was sat down in a valley of dry bones.

2. He was made to walk among them and around them. “They were very many.”

3. “They were very dry.”

4. “Son of man can these bones live?” All science, all man’s knowledge, all lectures, and all time reviewed stand helpless. “O Lord God, thou knowest.”

 

IV: The Impossible Came to Pass:

1. “Prophesy upon these bones.” A Baptist preacher ought to know. Preach! and he was successful!

2. “So I prophesied.” Now it’s up to God.

3. “Behold a shaking and the bones came together.”

4. “Say to the wind… and breath came into them and they lived and stood upon their feet.

 

     V: A Future Gathering of Israel:

1. They came home.

2. They were scattered.

3. They have come home again in our day.

4. God is moving toward the last hours of this old world.

5. This old world is dead toward God!

6. None are too dead or dry when they hear the word of the Lord! Havana Church -Bio Morgan
