The Biggest Ressurection

INTRODUCTION: House story?? Death makes us uncomfortable. ---It does with God to.

Story of a country? ????

Background - Ezekiel story. Taken, then given job to prophesy, but was told no one was going to listen.

Small city.

Shave head

Dung- first human than cow haha

hand of the Lord and Spirit - means pay attention.

Full of bones - That would make most of us uncomfortable.

HOUSE STORY HAHA

many - as far as the eye could see.

It doesn’t say it til later, but this was Isreal, he knew it. His family and friends.

They were literally dying, but even more this is a picture of spiritual.

dry bones - they were like this for a long time.

Can these bones live again? - He responded I don’t know....I don’t know either. I don’t know what will happen. I don’t know etc....

God calls us to believe the miracle before we see the miracle.

You know God - haha idk, what do you think it is? With my kids....

He didn’t even need ezekiel. He wanted Ezekiel to be a part of it.

Ezekiel 37:4–10 ESV

4 Then he said to me, “Prophesy over these bones, and say to them, O dry bones, hear the word of the Lord. 5 Thus says the Lord God to these bones: Behold, I will cause breath to enter you, and you shall live. 6 And I will lay sinews upon you, and will cause flesh to come upon you, and cover you with skin, and put breath in you, and you shall live, and you shall know that I am the Lord.” 7 So I prophesied as I was commanded. And as I prophesied, there was a sound, and behold, a rattling, and the bones came together, bone to its bone. 8 And I looked, and behold, there were sinews on them, and flesh had come upon them, and skin had covered them. But there was no breath in them. 9 Then 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.” 10 So I prophesied as he commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they lived and stood on their feet, an exceedingly great army.

Prophesy - declare the word of the Lord.

dry bones here - Everyone touch your ear. How many bones you have in there? There ears were Gone, but when God’s words go out!!!

Its like Children or husbands haha.

To live - is to know that God is Lord.

You aren’t alive until we know God is live.

GET QUITE. DO YOU HEAR THAT? its the rattle. Imagine millions of bones starting to rattle.

Now they were dead bodies -

You can look fine on the outside, but still be dead on the inside.

Ezekiel 37:

When we say all hope is lost, God says come out of the grave!

CONCLUSION: Just ask the stone what happens when God says move.
