Death To Life VII
“So I did what God told me to do: I prophesied… So I did what God told me to do: I prophesied…” Eze.37:7&10 [emphasis added].
You see you are going to move from death to life, in Jesus name. However, obedience to God is key. Inherent in hearing God is obeying God. Your private obedience is directly proportional [not equal] to your public influence. If you obey in private, you can speak in public. For example, God tells you to give a pen to a certain lady. And your response is to tell God how much you like that particular pen so He should choose Read the rest of this entry
Death To Life VI
“That is why the Holy Spirit says, “Today when you hear His voice don’t harden your hearts…” Heb.3:7-8
From death to life goes beyond moving from slavery to freedom. From death to life also means moving from spiritual death to spiritual life. For some people, the best way to describe their spiritual state is that they are spiritually dead. There are two pointers to spiritual death. If you have any of these two, you are spiritually dead.

God Is Saying
“For ever, O Lord, thy word is settled in heaven” Ps.119:89 [KJV]
What God is saying is two fold; there is The Written and The Prophetic. The Word of God is settled in heaven. What God has said concerning your promotion is settled! What God has said concerning your marriage is settled! What God has said concerning your finances is settled! Search the scriptures to see what God is saying and has settled in His written Word about you.
Get Up And Speak!
“…Prophesy to these bones. Tell them to listen to what the Eternal Lord says to them…” Eze.37:4 [VOICE].
Every move of God is preceded by a sound. You can have the prophetic Word but nothing happens until you speak it. Everything will wait until you speak. You have to get up and speak. The story is told of a couple who had been married for years and had children. The man was doing well and so was the woman. But the man’s mother brought him a new wife from the village. She told his wife that she had done well but her son needs fresh blood. The man claimed to be faultless in the matter and he took his mother up on the offer. It is sad but some men are just very Read the rest of this entry
Voice Activation
“Then he said to me, “Speak a prophetic message to these bones and say, ‘Dry bones, listen to the word of the Lord!” Eze.37:4 [emphasis added].
“The earth was completely empty. There was nothing on the earth. Darkness covered the ocean, and God’s Spirit moved over the water. Then God said, “Let there be light!” And light began to shine” Gen.1:2-3 [ERV]. What if God had not said anything? The Power of God would still be there but nothing would have happened. Even though the Father, the Spirit and the Word were present at creation, nothing happened until God spoke. My point is this, you need to speak God’s prophetic Word into that situation. What prophetic word you ask? Your prophetic word is that Read the rest of this entry
Speak The Word
“The earth was formless and empty, and darkness covered the deep waters. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the surface of the waters. Then God said, “let there be light,” and there was light” Gen.1:2-3 [emphasis added]
#2. Speak His Prophetic Word. I need to do my part to unleash the Power of the Holy Ghost to do that which I cannot do. Once I am aligned with God, the next thing I need to do is speak His prophetic Word. “Then he said to me, “Speak a prophetic message to these bones and say, ‘Dry bones, listen to the word of the Lord!” Eze.37:4 [emphasis added]. He did not say think, He did not say imagine, and He did not say mutter. You can have a prophetic message from God, but until you speak it nothing happens.
Re-Position
“Then he asked me, “Son of man, can these bones become living people again?” Eze.37:3
To unleash the Power of the Holy Spirit, to unleash the Spirit of God in our favour, there are two things that you and I must do.
#1. Align With God. To unleash the Power of the Holy Spirit in your favor, you need to align with God. You have your own ideas; agreed. Some people even have their own idea of how God should be God. They look at how the whole world is and say, God, if I were God I can do a better job. Arrogance! You think you are better than God? Align with God, that is the first thing you need to do. And I will show you in Scripture.
Gratitude
“So they rolled the stone aside. Then Jesus looked up to heaven and said, “Father, thank you for hearing me” John 11:41 [emphasis added]
You need to respond appropriately to God. Yesterday we looked at three responses and today we will drill even deeper into those three responses. Ezekiel’s Response: “Then he asked me, “Son of man, can these bones become living people again?” “O Sovereign Lord,” I replied, “you alone know the answer to that.” Eze.37:3 [emphasis added]. What Ezekiel was saying in essence is, how can I boast of such knowledge? Fantastic response.
Mary’s Response: “Mary asked the angel, “But how can this happen? I am a virgin.” Lu.1:34 Fantastic response. Mary’s response showed that she was seeking knowledge and understanding. But Martha’s response was very different from the other two. Read the rest of this entry
He Is Able!
“Jesus told her, “I am the resurrection and the life. Anyone who believes in me will live, even after dying. Everyone who lives in me and believes in me will never ever die. Do you believe this, Martha?” John 11:25-26 [emphasis added]
“When Mary arrived and saw Jesus, she fell at his feet and said, “Lord, if only you had been here, my brother would not have died.” John 11:32 [emphasis added]. Mary and Martha’s responses show us that the Jesus they know is the Jesus that can heal the sick. And sometimes, God allows us to go through situations that would make us perplexed, just to show us that He is still the same Jesus, that can not only heal the sick but can raise the dead.
Because He Lives
“Roll the stone aside,” Jesus told them. But Martha, the dead man’s sister, protested, “Lord, he has been dead for four days. The smell will be terrible.” John 11:39
Lazarus was not only sick, he died. He did not only die, he was buried and he had started decaying. In other words, bacteria and fungi had begun to feast on him, releasing ammonia or whatever waste product they release that causes the stench of a dead body. By now the irreversible appears to have happened. By now Jesus, it is impossible for You to do anything. Because Lazarus came back to life, everything that represents Lazarus in your life will come back to life. Because Jesus is alive, it will come back to life. I beseech you [using Paul’s terminology], do not take this season Read the rest of this entry
