The Lord says:
"Do not allow yourself to be bound under the atmosphere of lifelessness and hopelessness around you. Receive My life and My strength to rise above all these atmospheres. For My Spirit is life, and I have called you to rule and reign with Me!"
With these words from the Lord, let's go to the book of Ezekiel. Ezekiel in Hebrew is 'Yechezqel'. It literally means 'God strengthens' or 'God gives strength'. This word 'Yechezqel' comes from two words: 'Chazaq' meaning 'to be strong' or 'to strengthen'; and 'El' meaning 'God'.
Ezekiel 37:1-2 (NKJV) says, 'The hand of the Lord came upon me and brought me out in the Spirit of the Lord, and set me down in the midst of the valley; and it was full of bones. 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.'
Ezekiel 37:4-6 (NKJV) says, "Prophesy to these bones, and say to them, 'O dry bones, hear the word of the Lord! Thus says the Lord God to these bones: "Surely I will cause breath to enter into you, and you shall live. 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."'"
This is what prophet Ezekiel saw, heard, and therefore did as he was commanded. The word 'prophesy' here is 'naba' in Hebrew. In the context of these verses, it is 'to speak by the inspiration (of the Spirit of God)'. In other words, when the Lord speaks, you speak accordingly.
Even though these verses are for the people of Israel who're feeling dry, cut off, and hopeless at that time, the Lord is saying this to you as well.
Wherever you are and whatever situation you may be facing at the moment, the Spirit of the Lord is putting His Spirit upon you, and you shall see what's 'dry' or 'dead' in your life be revived and renewed.
Is there any area in your life that seems 'dead' and 'dry', hopeless and lifeless? Give that area to the Lord. Surrender that area to the Lord. Let Him breathe life into it. It may be your health, your career, your ministry, your family, or in any area of your life that you need a fresh wind and renewal. Let His Spirit fill what's dead and what's dry in your life!
This is a key moment to speak life, strength, and hope into your life, your family, and your situation. I'm praying right now for the Spirit of the Lord to bring life and set you free from every form of hopelessness and helplessness!
Indeed He has the power to resurrect and restore! Just do not limit your mind how He's going to do it. Let your mind be set free to see that He is above natural, and He knows how to make things happen for you!
What's your part? Your part is to rise above, and not go under! Rise above the atmosphere, and not go under the atmosphere!
Right now, the Lord is giving you the strength to rise above, to rule and reign together with Him, and to speak life into your situation. Receive by faith!
Prayer:
"O Lord God, let there be a release of Your Spirit and Your life upon Your people right now. Set them free from what has bound them. Set them free from what has limited them. There is freedom in the spiritual atmosphere right now. Freedom from the lies and the grasp of the enemy. We receive this freedom from You. We receive new hope from You. We receive life into our situation. We prophesy strength. We prophesy life. We prophesy revival. We prophesy restoration. In Jesus' name. Amen!"
