In this message on Ezekiel 37's valley of dry bones, the preacher emphasizes that God gives us a divine script to follow, empowering us to prophesy life over seemingly hopeless situations—our own «dry bones» of broken dreams, relationships, and past hurts. The key insight is that revival comes in stages: first prophesying to bring structure (bones together), then to the breath (heaven’s winds) for true life, requiring obedience to God’s commands amid disappointment. Ultimately, by following His script and speaking faith, God transforms dry bones into a standing army, restoring hope and demonstrating His power to make something out of nothing.
Title: Follow the Script
My title for tonight is «Follow the Script.» Follow the script. So you guys know I’m from Texas. So it’s a thing—you’ve got to respect that when you’re from Texas. I’m not saying y’all’s city is not great or your state isn’t great, but it’s a Texas thing. We love y’all.
So I’m from Texas, right? I had no idea, until I moved to California, that reality television was not actually reality. It’s just really confusing because they call it reality television, but it’s scripted, you know? That’s difficult for me to comprehend because all this time I had invested in other people’s lives, in other people’s drama—crying, getting angry, fighting with people—and then I realized that it wasn’t real, you know? I recognized that though the television made it seem like it was real, it was actually scripted.
Then I wondered, well, who’s keeping it real? Because we’re in real life, and sometimes life can be unscripted. Have you ever tried to script your life? You know exactly how your day is going to go, how things are going to happen, and then God is like, «Psych!» He’s like, «You’re not getting any screenwriting credits for this, boo! When I’m finished, this is going to have My name all over it because you don’t have the script; I do.»
Has God ever made you take your hands off of your life? We have these moments when God forces our hand, when suddenly pain enters our lives in unexpected ways or disappointment. We encounter disappointment, and suddenly we thought we could handle it. We thought things were scripted; we thought we were going to get the degree; we thought we were going to get married. We thought things were working well. But evidently, there was another script at play.
Ezekiel in the Valley of Dry Bones
I want to talk about when God gave a prophet a script in Ezekiel 37. Now, I was almost a little hesitant about speaking on this because this is about the valley of dry bones. I thought, well, everybody knows that story. Then I realized, well, maybe not, because I saw it in a new way. So, I want to go to Ezekiel 37:1. I love this scripture because it starts off by saying, «The hand of the Lord came upon me and brought me out in the spirit of the Lord,» which was a little confusing for me. I didn’t understand how, if the hand of the Lord was on him, it then brought him out into the spirit of the Lord.
I recognize that sometimes the hand of the Lord can be carrying you, but you still might not be walking in the Spirit. When the hand of the Lord is covering us, even when we’re out there being not just ratchet, but wrong, somehow the hand of the Lord is still carrying us. But we come to this place in our journey where we find ourselves at church at 8:00 PM on a Wednesday night service because we say, «You’ve carried me long enough. Now I want to be brought out into the Spirit of the Lord.»
So we find the prophet going from being in the hand of the Lord to being brought out into the Spirit of the Lord. The only problem is that when God brings you out into the Spirit of the Lord, usually He sets us in a valley of dry bones, set to be established and positioned in a place where things just aren’t adding up. It’s interesting because you would think that if I’m walking in the Spirit of the Lord, then bones should start coming together. How is it that when I made the decision to turn my life around, I ended up in this valley of dry bones? There were friends I thought were my friends that are now dry bones. There are opportunities I thought would work out, but now I have too much integrity to be that person. And so I have these dry bones, this confusion about who I’m supposed to be and how I’m supposed to operate. I’m walking in the Spirit of the Lord, but I don’t know exactly how what He prophesied over my life is going to manifest because right now all I see is dry bones.
I received a word, and I grew up in church. I started listening online, flipping through the Bible, and I started hearing from You. But I don’t understand how what I hear turns into what I see because now You’ve set me down in the midst of the valley, and it was full of bones. And verse 2 continues, «Then He caused me to pass by them all around, and behold, there were very many in the open valley, and indeed they were very dry.» He caused me. He didn’t just sit me down in this valley of dry bones; He put a cause down on the inside of me. It would be one thing to be in the valley of dry bones, but for some reason, I have this passion, this cause, this pulling, this urging, this grace to make something out of nothing down on the inside of me.
So where everyone else sees dry bones, I see potential. I can’t just sit here in a valley of dry bones; I have to find a way out of this. And so He caused me to pass by them all around. The pastor told us that if you are attracted to this church, it’s because there is a grace on your life to make something out of nothing. So don’t be surprised when God gives you nothing to work with.
Yeah, I want to make something out of nothing, but I want my bills to be paid. I don’t want any broken relationships; I don’t want to feel lonely. I want to make something out of nothing, but give me something to work with. Give me a support system. Give me people who understand me because I’m going to take nothing and turn it into something. But God, if You could just give me one thing to work with. If I just had one person who understood me. If I just had one check to last me six months until I could finish. What, child? If I could have one check, I’m not asking for more than my fair share; I’m just saying one—just a little lift-off check.
Yeah, ’cause I don’t like feeling like I’m dry bones. I want to touch dry bones; I don’t want to be dry bones. Ain’t nobody got time to be dry bones and touch dry bones at the same time. But for some reason, when God decides to use us, He doesn’t take us when we have it all together and when we feel the most confident. No, He takes us when we feel like dry bones ourselves and then calls us to dry bones. It seems like He leaves us. But our text reveals something different. It says, «And behold, there were very many in the open valley and indeed they were very dry.» And verse 3 continues, «And He said to me, 'Son of man, can these bones live? '» So I answered, «Oh, Lord God, You know.» That’s so lit, right? ’Cause I know, I know Ezekiel didn’t mean it the way you meant it, where it’s like, «Oh, Lord, that’s all on You.» Actually, sometimes we like to remove ourselves from the equation, like we don’t want to curse people’s ability to no longer be dry bones by saying they ain’t going to ever be nothing, but we say, «God, You know. That’s all on You.»
Can These Bones Live?
Now, when Ezekiel said this, he meant it with such faith that where I may see dry bones, I know that You can stretch my mentality. You can stretch my faith to tell me that they can live again. So I’m not going to say no when You could say yes. I’m going to learn to start submitting my knowledge to what You can do. See, that’s the problem: so often we have dry bones that we think we have answers to. And so, instead of God asking us, «Can the dry bones live again?» we’re trying to convince Him that the dry bones can live again.
I don’t want to talk about toxic relationships and the ex that you tried to make a skeleton out of dry bones. You got somebody’s selfies right now, three years old on Facebook, of you and dry bones just sitting there smiling—someone you knew wasn’t good for you, but you thought that you could take dry bones and turn them into something in your own strength, your own will, and your own power.
So we believe in dry bones, but only to a certain extent. The dry bones of dreams that we thought we could pursue that didn’t have God’s grace or anointing on them, so they were our dry bones, not His. Yeah, dry bones. Somebody sing about somebody right now! Come on, honesty over there on the right. Can you remember when you believed in dry bones? Now can you imagine if you channeled that belief into what God could do, not in what the bones could become?
Sometimes we have more faith in what we want to happen than we have in what God would like to do in our lives. So we find ourselves disappointed and jaded when the dry bones we put our faith in amount to nothing. And we rob God of the faith He needs to move in our lives.
He said to me, «Son of man, can these bones live?» And Ezekiel said, «So I answered, ‘Oh Lord God, You know’.» And this is where things get great because He says, «And again He said to me, 'Prophesy to these bones and say to them, „Oh dry bones, hear the word of the Lord."'» Verse 5 continues, «Thus says the Lord God to these bones: 'Surely, I will cause breath to enter into you, and you shall live.'»
Prophesy to the Bones
So He calls out the dry bones. He prophesies to them. «Come to life; breath is going to be inside of you.» Verse 6 continues, «You’ll live and I will put sinews on you and bring flesh upon you, cover you with skin and put breath in you and you shall live. Then you shall know that I am the Lord.» Verse 7 continues, «So I prophesied as I was commanded.»
So I spoke from my mouth to the things that looked like dry bones and said, «Come to life.» I prophesied. God’s going to put you in situations where you’re going to have to learn to prophesy, where you’re going to have to look at what looks like dry bones—what looks like job loss, repossession, what looks like there’s not enough happening here for anything to become something—and He’s going to make you prophesy. He’s going to make you stop standing on the fence of your dreams and choose ye this day if you’re going to be all in or all out.
That means some of you are going to have to start claiming the victory even when it looks like you’re losing, that some of you are going to have to start claiming your children back, claiming your marriages, claiming that all things are working together for your good. You’re going to have to start prophesying over your own life that your dreams are going to happen, that God didn’t bring you to this city to abandon you, that God didn’t break you off of something so that you could turn back to it. You’re going to have to start prophesying over your life because there are dry bones waiting to be rattled by your faith—dry bones waiting to be rattled by what comes out of your mouth. You can’t afford to play it safe any longer.
Definitive statements about who you are. Definitive statements about who you can become. Definitive statements about what you believe. Boundaries! The bones are the most incredible part of the human body because they create structure. They determine how you stand in the world. They determine how you operate, walk, function, and sit in this world. God says if you would allow me to touch your bones, you’ll start sitting in chairs differently. You’ll start walking into rooms differently—that if you would let Me touch what everyone else calls dry bones, I would change the very essence of who you are.
God wants to change your structure. He wants to change the way you think. He wants to change the way you process. He wants to change the way you pursue your dreams. God wants to rattle your bones! So I prophesied as I was commanded, and as I prophesied, there was a noise, and suddenly a rattling, and the bones came together, bone to bone.
The Rattling and Structure
See, Ezekiel didn’t realize that when he asked, «Shall the bones live again?» that the power for them to live was in his mouth. See, because in that moment when God asked him, «Could the bones live again?» a part of him probably thought, «If I glue them together, find some hide, and cover the bones this way, I could get bones to come together.»
But God said, «I’m going to expedite the process. You’re not going to have to spend so much time gathering the pieces; the power is going to be in your mouth. It’s going to be in what you believe and what you allow to escape from your mouth.» The power is not in the bones at all. Don’t worry about it. You don’t have to figure this plan out on your own. You don’t have to know the answers right now. All you have to know is can the bones live? Can your dreams come true? Can you pursue it?
God wants to chase down your disbelief. He wants to run your fear out of the way so that there’s nothing but room for faith. So I prophesied as I was commanded. I yielded my voice, and I prophesied. And as I prophesied, there was a noise, and suddenly a rattling, and the bones came together, bone to bone. And verse 8 says, «Indeed, as I looked, it was all working out. The muscles were there; the flesh came upon them.» It was all working out; it looked like things were right on track. And the skin covered them over, but there was no breath in them.
No Breath Yet: The Second Wind
Now it seems like what God told me to do has been derailed because there’s no life in it. I was so close, yet so far away. Have you ever been so close, yet so far away? All I need is one check. I have the vision, I have the business plan; I have everything I need, but I don’t have the breath. I did everything I needed to do on the inside. The bones came together. I got my mind right. I dropped the habits; I got right in position. I got where I was supposed to be. But now I just— the breath isn’t there.
And the difficult thing about being out of breath is that you want to give up. Yeah, because I thought He told me that if I prophesied for the bones to come together and then for there to be breath in them that that’s all it would take. But it turns out it takes more work than I thought. Instead of going the extra mile, I honestly want to quit because I can’t handle another disappointment. I’m out of breath.
So I’ve been kickboxing, right? ’Cause summer’s coming, and I like cookies, but cookies don’t like me. So I’ve kickboxed three times last week and three times this week. Come on, somebody! Won’t He do it? And you know I’m not necessarily a morning person, as I have shared, but I have to take my kids to school because you go to jail if you don’t. And so I just go right after I take the kids to school. It’s been a minute since I was in the gym, but I like it because it’s a class environment, which means you can’t just quit.
I don’t know about you, but I’m a little competitive. I’m not going to say it’s vain or anything, but if I go to the door and I start punching the bag, I’m not going to quit because other people are there, and I can’t have them thinking I’m a punk. But I be tired, you know, ’cause they make you do burpees, squats, and jumping lunges. And I’ve been eating cookies, so I’ve been out of breath. We have to go six rounds, right? And I be like, «Ooh, alright, okay.» A lady was videoing the other day— the instructor was videoing, and I was like, «Girl, don’t bring that camera over here. I don’t know your Facebook friends; I can’t have them seeing me out here the way I am in this moment!»
So we were like in the fifth round of kickboxing, and you know—right roundhouse kicks. Okay, y’all don’t know about that; Google it. That’s for me—that’s for professionals. But for the point of this illustration, I’m trying to educate you all on how we do it. And then there’s like this speed round, and you’ve got to kick right roundhouse kicks, left roundhouse kicks, a jab, a cross, and you do this straight for like three minutes, but your girl was tired. She was like, «Keep going! You’ll get a second wind!» and I was like, «Ain’t no second wind, ’cause all my wins are gone!» Okay?
I wanted to quit because I figured I’d already gone three times last week, and I was working up on three times this week. So, there was no need for me to go the extra mile. I wanted to quit in the middle of progress. You see, ’cause in that moment, the obstacle in front of me distracted me from the progress that was behind me. In that moment, it looked like I was losing, but it was only because I had forgotten all the other wins that were behind me, where I had found a way to finish in the past. I had forgotten in the moment that there are second winds—that when the structure comes all together but you’re out of breath, it’s okay because there’s a second wind.
Prophesy to the Breath
In verse 9, it continues, «Also, He said to me, ‘Prophesy to the breath. Prophesy, son of man.’» Can you go back to verse 4 for a second? Because I want you to pay attention. In verse 9, He says, «Prophesy to the breath.» In verse 4, He says, «Prophesy to these bones.» Maybe Ezekiel thought that the first prophecy, though it promised that breath would be in the bones, it just didn’t promise that it would happen in that prophecy. Because the Lord said, «Prophesy to these bones, not to these bones and to the breath.» He gave it to him step by step.
I want you to know that the promise is in the initial prophecy, but the prophecy actually manifests in levels. And so, I want you to prophesy first to the bones, but I want you to know that the breath is coming; it’s just not going to come when the bones come. Because the first thing you have to do is trust me to bring the pieces together. Prophesy to the bones. There are two types of people in this room. There are people who are working on their bones coming together, their structure coming together, getting their minds right.
Your bones protect your heart; you’re trying to learn how to guard your heart, how to defend your hope, and how to make sure you can handle the weight of who God has called you to be. Your bones support your weight. So God can’t give you the breath until He’s given you the bones. He can’t give you the breath. The breath is when what happens on the inside of us escapes to the outside. And when it escapes to the outside, everyone recognizes that what took place on the inside allowed you to live something that they could see.
The problem is so many of us want the breath without the bones. We want to show people that we’re living, but we don’t want to show them that we can handle weight. See, because when you can handle weight, it doesn’t matter whether or not anyone sees it. That’s right! And if God is going to trust you with the breath of what your dream requires, you’re going to have to learn to handle weight that no one can see. The kind of weight that has you up in the middle of the night, the kind of weight that makes you question whether or not you’re good enough or strong enough, whether or not you’re crazy, whether or not you’re going to be able to break that generational curse off of you.
He can’t do that unless your bones are set in place. But God says that for some of you, your bones have been set in place, and He’s about to take you to the next level. And that’s when you’re going to start prophesying to the breath. Go back to verse 9 for me. You’ll remember I said when the breath is what happens on the inside starts escaping to the outside.
Breathe in! Can’t hold it in—it’s got to come out! You can’t hold that dream in. God didn’t bring you this far to hold that thing down on the inside of you! He said, «I didn’t place those seeds down on the inside of you! You’re not holding your breath; I’m not holding you hostage. I’m not holding you back. I didn’t have you breathe in hope, and breathe in dreams, and breathe in all this imagination. I didn’t have you breathe in creativity. I didn’t have you breathe in healings and make you hold your breath!»
God said that thing I placed down on the inside of you is about to exhale! And when it exhales, everyone’s going to see that I took dry bones and brought them back to life. And I didn’t just bring them back to life for show; I put breath down on the inside of them! Do me a favor and exhale real quick. Exhale! Exhale! Every time you exhale, you need to be reminded that your dream is still alive. Every time you exhale, you need to be reminded that the word that God spoke over your life still exists. Every time you exhale, it’s a promise! Every time you exhale, it’s a promise!
Also, He said to me, «Prophesy to the breath. Prophesy, son of man, and say to the breath, 'Thus says the Lord God: Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe on these slain that they may live.'» Come from—go to verse 9 for me—come from the four winds. Initially, I thought this meant come from the north, the south, the east, and the west. And then as I continued studying, I realized that the Hebrew word for wind actually means spirit.
The Four Winds: Heaven’s Spirit
So the breath that filled the dry bones were the four winds of heaven, if you will—that the Spirit began backing up what God had put together. And because the Spirit began backing up what God had put together, it caused them to live. God wants somebody to know that heaven is backing up what He placed in your life! That the wind is coming! That you may be out of breath; you may be wondering how things are going to come together. But God wants you to know that the wind is coming!
And the wind is not just coming from one direction! It’s not just going to be one stream of income; it’s not just going to be one idea that catapults you. It’s not going to be one opportunity or one relationship! You’re not going to have to settle; you’re not going to have to choose because the four winds are coming! The four winds of heaven are coming!
The wind is coming to back up what God placed down on the inside of you! The wind is coming; the wind is coming! And if you would center yourself in the presence of God, somebody can feel the wind right now! Somebody can feel the wind blowing away fear! Right now, somebody can feel the wind clarifying things! Right now, somebody can feel the wind bringing things into focus! Right now, somebody can feel the wind reviving their hope, reviving their dreams, giving them fresh ideas and new creativity!
Somebody can feel the wind blowing right now. Somebody who thought they couldn’t feel any longer—somebody who thought that their best days were behind them, that they had lost too much in the process—somebody can feel the wind blowing right now. «Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe on these slain that they may live.» In verse 10, it continues, «So I prophesied as He commanded me, and breath came into them, and they lived and stood upon their feet.»
This is the first time that I realized that when the bones came together earlier, they never stood up! That even though everything was in place, they hadn’t fully realized their potential because the breath wasn’t in them. And God says that somebody feels like for the most part, their life is together. They know that there are a few things they could be working on, but God says when the wind comes, I’m going to stand you up on your feet.
And when I stand you up on your feet, you’re going to look like a great army. Because I’m not just going to stand up one of you; I’m going to stand up people who look like you beside you. I’m going to stand up people who can help you! All around you, there’s going to be what looks like a great army standing.
The Wind is Coming
I don’t know, I just—if this message is for you, would you stand up on your feet like the wind just came and reminded you who you are? Would you stand up on your feet like you just realized your weight, that you just recognized who you are? You can start playing. I’m going to close soon because I want someone to recognize that the wind is coming; you’re closer than you think you are, that you’re not as lost as you thought you were, you’re not as broken as you thought you were.
It looks like a valley of dry bones right now, but the wind is coming! The wind is coming! And I’m not just going to put you back together; I’m going to breathe My life into you! When we see God breathing life into man, it is when He first creates Adam. He formed him, and though he was formed, he was not yet living until God blew air into his lungs.
Somebody’s been out of breath. They’ve lost their endurance; they’ve lost their ability to keep running at the rate they were once running. Somebody started taking their dream and minimizing it into something that feels a bit more tangible because «I lost my breath running out here; I don’t think I can run much further.» So someone has decided that they don’t know that they can manifest what God called them to do.
So instead, I’m going to shrink; I’m going to shrink my hopes; I’m going to shrink my dreams because hoping sometimes feels dangerous. But God says, «I want you to stand on your feet because I want you to recognize that when the wind comes, it’s going to be like a second wind, a third wind, a forward wind, a fourth wind. You’ve got to get used to the wind coming because there are going to be times in life where it feels like the wind has been knocked out of you. But your wind was never contingent on what was going on in life. It was always about the winds in heaven that have conspired to get you this far.
God said, „I didn’t carry you and set you in the valley of dry bones to leave you. I set you there because there is an anointing on your life to make something out of nothing. So don’t be surprised when you have nothing.“
Following God’s Script
If you’re here and you say that’s easy for you to say, you don’t understand how empty my lungs feel right now. That’s easy for you to say because I don’t see how these bones could ever come together. I don’t even think that I could prophesy faith over my life after all I’ve prophesied is disappointment. Sometimes we can be our own worst enemies. And when God says to prophesy hope and to prophesy faith over our lives, instead we prophesy all the ways we could fail. We prophesy all the reasons why we should give up. And then we wonder why nothing manifests in our lives but failure.
God says, „I want you to follow My script. I want you to follow My script. I want you to recognize that I’ve got a master plan taking place right now, and it depends on you following My script.“
We see Ezekiel in this text following a script. The one time we see him speaking in this text outside of what the Lord prophesied for him to say is when he goes, „Can these dry bones live?“ And he says, „Oh Lord, only You know.“ Some of us are having an „Oh Lord, only You know“ moment where we’re letting go of our expectations of how the bones have to come together. Where we’re walking away from the way we think things have to manifest, and instead we’re saying, „Oh Lord, only You know. I see it where there could be potential, but honestly, I can’t do it without You.“ That I tried it my way; I tried to take the dry bones of my childhood and the dry bones of my broken heart, and I tried to glue them together myself.
I tried to tie them together, but they’re not living the way they should. They’re not breathing the way they should. God, if You could help me speak to my own dry bones—amen! If You could help me to understand who I am down on the inside—if You could stretch my mind and stretch my language so that I could recognize that I don’t have to have a prophet, that I could prophesy over myself, that I could say, „You shall live and not die.“ That I can say, „All things are working together for my good, ” that I could say, „Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I shall fear no evil because I know who’s with me.“
If You could teach me how to live a life that prophesies Your word over me when fear tries to overtake me, when depression tries to lay hold of me, if You could teach me to live a life that I live in the prophecy! Yeah! Where I don’t let disappointment take me off course, where I believe that even disappointment is a part of the prophecy, that even closed doors are a part of the prophecy, that relationships breaking up are a part of the prophecy, that I’m not lonely because it’s a part of the prophecy!
I understand who I am even when my insecurities say I’m someone else because I believe in the prophecy. I don’t believe in this valley; this valley can’t have control over me; this valley can’t dictate who I become. These dry bones don’t define me; these dry bones are tools. They’re tools to show me who I am; they’re tools to show me what I’m capable of.
These dry bones that some people gave up on, that a father walked away from, that friends didn’t quite understand—these dry bones; these bones that have felt shame; these bones that have been abused; these bones that have been hurt and broken—these dry bones. God, make something out of these bones!
Altar Call: Confronting Dry Bones
If this message is for anyone who’s been wondering what to do with these dry bones, I want you to meet us at the altar because we’re going to open the doors and invite the wind to blow through this place. These bones—these bones.
These bones I’ve pretended I don’t see—these bones that I’ve learned to live with—these bones that said that I wouldn’t make it—these bones of generational curses. We’ve all got these bones—these bones that say stop dreaming—these bones that say quit.
We’ve all got these dry bones. I don’t know about you, but I’m grateful for a God that takes dry bones and puts them together and breathes life into them and makes monuments of grace and monuments of mercy out of things that everyone else had given up on. He takes our brokenness and transforms it into His purpose. I’m grateful for a God who understands dry bones.
There are so many people at this altar, but I happen to believe there’s someone still sitting—someone still in the chair wondering whether or not they should come down. And if that’s you, you can come while I’m speaking because someone’s trying to assess whether or not they can face their bones, whether or not they can do what is necessary to call these bones to live.
Someone hasn’t even been practicing hope long enough to know whether or not their dry bones can live. But God says as you walk away from your chair, that you’re walking away from old mindsets and old languages, and you’re walking into the prophecy that I have for your life.
What I love so much about this text is that God showed Ezekiel this vision as an illustration of what was happening with the people of Israel. It was an illustration for people who had lost their hope and thought they had lost their position, but ultimately He was telling Ezekiel that you can bring dry bones back together and inspire other people to live again.
For some of you, this message is connected to the thousands upon millions of people connected to what’s on your life. But for all of us, this message is a restoration to what God originally had in mind when He formed us in our mother’s womb. That before we were even bones at all, we were in His hands. And because we were in His hands, there was a vision, and it included those dry bones.
It included that; it included your brokenness; it included your disappointments. There were dry bones in His picture of who you were. And He said, „I needed that, and so did you.“ And I know it hurt, and I know you don’t fully understand why it had to be you. But God said, „I had to choose someone who would survive. I had to choose someone who would fight their way into a Wednesday night midweek service. I had to choose someone that life couldn’t crush. I had to choose someone who would dare take the blinders off and confront their dry bones.“
Yes, Lord! Pastors are going to come and pray, but I want to ask you all to lift your hands like you’re going to receive something because the wind is going to come when he prays. I feel the presence of God already blowing in this place! You don’t have to wait for the prayer to begin worshiping. I want you to start worshiping from that dark place. I want you to start worshiping from that valley. Start worshiping from that place of dry bones. Because when you open up that part of your heart, the wind is going to blow! The wind is going to blow—and it’s going to blow in such a way that dead things are going to start coming back to life and start working together for your good!
That those skeletons in your closet aren’t going to scare you any longer! Because God said, „That’s all right; I can blow the shame off of that. I can blow the pain away from that!“
