Speak Life to our Nation Story: Be careful who you follow
Ezekiel 37:1-11-The hand of the LORD was upon 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, "O 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 from the four winds, O breath, 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 whole house of Israel. They say, 'Our bones are dried up and our hope is gone; we are cut off.'
Intro- Most of the Israelite's were in captivity in Babylon. There was a remnant in Jerusalem. Remnant is a person or group of people who remain faithful to God even in severe hardship or Apostasy which is refusing to obey God. There spiritual bones were dried and disgraced, they were in captivity because they rejected God and His word. Most of OUR Nation is in captivity to the woke movement, to deception regarding our gender, to evil spirits attacking in 3 main areas, Baal, 50 yrs ago Baal started to deceive people into believing they didn't need God, they drove God out of our schools, defiled the marriage covenant of man and women Then Isthar attacked our sexuality, porn exploded, sexual values were tossed, condoms given out in school, this spirit opened the door to children/ teens deciding they wanted to be a different gender, teachers /school boards supporting the woke agenda, hiding info from parents. Last of the 3, Molec, killer of babies, Molec was around in the Old Testament sacrificing their children to the false gods of the day. Today the battle still rages for life. Please note our battle is Spiritual and can only be won spiritually, pray against these 3 spiritual enemies.
Let's look at today- Russia invades Ukrain, Hamas attacks Israel, Israel goes after Hamas, the sky is falling, Then Iran gets Hezbollah to attack Israel in the North, Israel responds, missals, drones, prisoners are taken, thousands killed- the sky is falling, the US.
Supports Israel, the UN condemns Israel, the war escalates 200 missals, pagers explode, more weapons used, the sky is falling. In US. Who will you follow? Harris, abortion up to delivery, no follow Trump, no abortions after 15 weeks, everybody lies to get votes, the sky is falling. Who do I follow! Jesus once asked His disciples, who do you say that I am, Peter, you are the Christ, the son of the Living God Matt 16, Mark 8, Luke 9 1Cor 11:1 Paul, follow my example as I follow the example of Christ's. Heb 12:2a Let us fix our eyes on Jesus the author and finisher of our faith.
Ps 46:1-2 God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea, though its waters roar and foam and the mountains quake with their surging. Verse 7 The LORD Almighty is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress. Vs 10- Be still and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the Nations, I will be exalted in the earth.

Prayer from 2 Chronicles 20 "O LORD, God of our fathers, are you not the God who is in heaven? You rule over all the kingdoms of the nations. Power and might are in your hand, and no one can withstand you. O our God, did you not create our nation to spread the Gospel,
'If calamity comes upon us, whether the sword of judgment, or plague or famine, or spiritual evil forces, we will stand in your presence in this assembly and cry out to you in our distress and you will answer and save us.
Eph 1:20 you seated Christ at your right side, far above all rule and authority power and dominion, and every title in this present age or the age to come, God placed everything under your feet, now Lord this army is too vast for us to defeat, but our eyes are upon you.
2Chron 20:12b
Prophesy words of life to our Nation as God prophesied to Israel
1- Dry bones hear the word of the Lord
Dry bones within the sound of my voice, dry bones of America hear the Words of the Lord. God wanted Ezekiel to be His voice to the dry bones of Israel. Ro 4:16b- The God who gives life to the dead and calls things that are not as though they were NIV. The Living Bible, And this promise is from God himself, who makes the dead live again and speaks of future events with as much certainty as though they were already past.
2- command the dry bones to come together
God created the physical part of Adam before He breath life into him. The bones coming together is a step toward life.
3- Prophesy to the Breath of the Holy Spirit to bring life
1Kings 17:17-24 Elijah stretched himself over the boy 3 times and prayed and life came back to him. We, corporately, call the breath of the Holy Spirit to enter the dry bones of our own dry bones, and the dry bones of America
