Can These Bones Live? Preaching Christ in the Valley of Death
The Spirit of Prophecy Awakens the Army of the Lord
📖 Intro:
There’s a sound coming out of the valley — not the sound of death, but the sound of resurrection.
God brought Ezekiel into a place of hopelessness, desolation, and decay — a valley full of very dry bones. But He didn’t ask the prophet to escape. He asked him to speak. To preach. To prophesy.
“Can these bones live?”
That’s the divine question in this hour. Can the lifeless religious systems live again? Can the scattered body of Christ be joined, filled, and empowered? Can a generation marked by delay and disappointment rise in glory?
YES — if the Word of the Lord is spoken.
We are not here to mourn the valley —
We are here to call forth the army.
This is a book for the elect, the overcomers, the sons of glory who see beyond the bones and hear the sound of awakening. The trumpet is in your mouth. The Spirit is breathing. And the bones… are starting to move.
This is the hour of resurrection.
This is the moment when the army of the Lord stands up.
Let’s begin. 💥
🟥 Chapter 1: The Valley of Bones — A Prophetic Vision of the Church
“The hand of the Lord was upon me… and set me down in the midst of the valley which was full of bones.” — Ezekiel 37:1
Before God raises an army, He shows you the bones.
Ezekiel wasn’t taken to a palace.
He wasn’t shown a church on fire.
He wasn’t caught up to a heavenly throne.
No — the Spirit set him down in a valley of death.
And there, in the midst of very dry bones, the Lord began to speak.
These bones weren’t recently fallen. They were ancient. Scattered. Sun-bleached by time and history. Forgotten by man — but not by God.
⚠️ This is a prophetic picture of the Church.
We see parts of the Body, but no unity.
We see form, but no breath.
We hear noise, but no sound of the Spirit.
We gather in buildings but lack the power that raised Christ from the dead.
The Church in many places today is a valley.
A field of bones that once had life.
But God is not afraid of this valley.
In fact, He’s calling His prophets to stand in it.
Just like Ezekiel.
Why?
Because resurrection begins with recognition.
You can’t prophesy to what you refuse to see.
You can’t raise what you pretend is alive.
And you can’t speak the word of life while avoiding the appearance of death.
God is asking a question to His chosen:
“Can these bones live?”
Not — “Can you escape?”
Not — “Can you build a better church program?”
Not — “Can you ignore the condition?”
But can you believe for resurrection?
The Church doesn’t need a better structure.
She needs a breath from heaven.
She needs prophets who will stand among the bones and release the sound of Christ.
This is the hour when bones will begin to rattle.
Not because of entertainment, religion, or tradition —
But because the true word of the Lord is going forth again.
📯 Ezekiel was one man. One voice.
But he spoke, and the whole valley began to respond.
Let this chapter awaken your ears.
Let the valley speak to your spirit.
Because what looks dead…
Is just waiting for your word.
🟧 Chapter 2: Speak the Word, Not the Circumstance
“Prophesy upon these bones, and say unto them, O ye dry bones, hear the word of the Lord.” — Ezekiel 37:4
God never told Ezekiel to describe the bones.
He told him to prophesy to them.
That’s the divine shift — from human assessment to heavenly declaration.
Because true prophets don’t echo the valley… they declare the Word of the Lord into it.
Today, many are content to diagnose the Church’s problems:
🔹 “It’s too divided.”
🔹 “It’s lukewarm.”
🔹 “It’s compromised by culture.”
🔹 “It’s powerless.”
All true. But none of those observations bring life.
Only the spoken Word of Christ does that.
🕊 Prophecy doesn’t describe the problem — it releases the solution.
And that solution is not our opinion, strategy, or complaint.
It’s the Word of the Lord — eternal, living, Christ-centered, Spirit-breathed.
Ezekiel could have said, “Lord, this valley is hopeless.”
But instead, he stood up in the middle of the graveyard…
And opened his mouth in obedience.
“O ye dry bones, hear the word of the Lord.”
Not “hear my frustration.”
Not “hear my anger with religion.”
Not “hear my latest revelation.”
But hear HIS voice —
Because only His voice creates movement in the dead.
⚔️ This is where the sons of God rise — in the tension between what they see and what they say.
Do you see death? Good.
Now speak life.
Do you see dryness? Good.
Now speak rain.
Do you see bones?
Then stand up and preach Jesus into them.
This is prophetic maturity — not ignoring the problem, but declaring a greater truth over it.
The Church doesn’t need another echo of despair.
It needs sons and daughters who speak the Word of the Lord in resurrection power.
The bones are listening.
The Spirit is waiting.
And the Word is alive.
Speak, prophet.
And the valley will begin to shake.
🟨 Chapter 3: The Sound of Awakening — When Bones Begin to Move
“So I prophesied as I was commanded: and as I prophesied, there was a noise, and behold a shaking, and the bones came together…” — Ezekiel 37:7
When the Word of the Lord is truly spoken, something begins to shift.
Not just in heaven —
But right in the middle of the valley.
Ezekiel obeyed. He prophesied. And something happened:
There was a noise.
There was a shaking.
The bones began to move.
The scattered pieces started coming together.
⚡ That’s what real prophetic ministry does — it causes a disturbance in the realm of death.
The silence of the graveyard is broken.
The stillness of religion is interrupted.
And the order of man is undone by the movement of God.
But here’s the mystery:
At first, it’s just noise.
Not full resurrection.
Not armies marching.
Just bones rattling… starting to align.
And this is where many get discouraged.
They prophesy — and instead of immediate fire, they hear chaos.
Instead of instant glory, they feel tension.
Instead of open heavens, they see things start to shake.
👂 But don’t misinterpret the sound.
The shaking is proof that the Word is working.
The noise is the sign that the grave is losing its grip.
The motion means the dry bones are responding.
They’re coming together —
Structure is returning.
Alignment is forming.
The body of Christ, long fragmented, is beginning to connect again under one Head: Jesus.
🛑 But they’re not alive yet.
Not yet.
Because order comes before breath.
This is a crucial truth:
Before the Church can be filled with glory, it must be aligned in Christ.
Before the sons can be revealed, the body must be joined.
Before power can rest, unity must form.
So don’t stop at the noise.
Don’t grow weary in the shaking.
The movement you hear…
Is the sound of resurrection beginning.
Keep prophesying.
Keep speaking life.
Keep calling forth the army.
Because the bones are listening —
And the breath is coming.
🟦 Chapter 4: Sinews, Flesh, and the Forming of a Body
“And I beheld, lo, the sinews and the flesh came up upon them, and the skin covered them above: but there was no breath in them.” — Ezekiel 37:8
After the noise…
After the shaking…
After the bones begin to align…
Something glorious begins to happen:
Form returns to the body.
Muscle, sinew, and skin begin wrapping the frame.
What was once scattered becomes shaped.
What was once dead begins to look alive.
But don’t be fooled —
They still have no breath.
Here is a critical moment in the awakening of God’s people:
Many look whole, but are not yet alive.
They have structure, form, even unity — but they are not yet filled with Spirit.
💡 This is the state of much of the modern Church:
Organized but not energized.
Connected but not ignited.
Formed but not filled.
And yet — this is part of the process.
God is not just raising up scattered individuals…
He is forming a body — joined, shaped, and prepared to house His glory.
🏛 Structure comes before substance.
Order before outpouring.
Formation before fire.
And God Himself is overseeing it.
You can’t breathe into chaos.
You breathe into order.
You don’t fill piles of bones —
You fill a body.
This is why the call to prophetic people in this hour is more than personal.
It’s corporate.
We must not only awaken individually —
We must come together in Christ, knit by the Spirit, and formed into a vessel worthy of the breath of God.
Because He’s not sending His wind to blow through bones —
He’s sending His breath to fill a body.
A glorious body.
A functioning body.
A ruling body.
The bones are assembled.
The form is prepared.
And heaven is holding its breath…
Because what’s coming next
— is the breath of resurrection life.
🟥 Chapter 5: Come from the Four Winds — The Breath of God Returns
“Then said He unto me, Prophesy unto the wind, prophesy, son of man, and say to the wind, Thus saith the Lord God; Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe upon these slain, that they may live.” — Ezekiel 37:9
Now the real miracle begins.
The bones have come together.
The body has form.
The flesh covers it.
But there’s still no life — until one final prophetic cry goes forth:
👉 “Come, O breath!”
This is not natural breath.
This is not human inspiration.
This is the Ruach — the very Spirit of God —
coming from the four winds, from every direction, to enter what was once dead.
🔥 This is the baptism we’re waiting for.
Not just a revival of emotion, but the infusion of divine life.
The four winds speak of a global move of the Spirit —
From every direction, God is breathing into His people.
From every continent, every culture, every corner of creation —
a new sound is rising, and the breath is being released.
💨 And what happens when the breath comes?
The slain rise.
The silent speak.
The still begin to march.
The army stands — not in word only, but in Spirit and in power.
The prophecy of Ezekiel is the blueprint for the Elect:
We are not just saved souls —
We are a body formed, breath-filled, and commissioned to reign.
We are not just waiting for heaven —
Heaven is waiting for us to breathe again.
And here’s the mystery:
God didn’t breathe from heaven Himself —
He told Ezekiel to prophesy to the wind.
⚠️ That means this final release doesn’t come without a voice.
A voice from the earth.
A voice from within the valley.
A voice that calls for the wind — and the wind obeys.
You, son of man, are that voice.
The breath will not come without your word.
The wind will not fill the body without your cry.
So lift your voice.
Call for the wind.
And let the slain live again.
Because once the breath returns —
an army is about to rise.
🟨 Chapter 6: And They Lived — The Awakening of the Elect
“So I prophesied as He commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they lived, and stood up upon their feet, an exceeding great army.” — Ezekiel 37:10
It happened.
Not because the bones willed it.
Not because the flesh figured it out.
But because a man obeyed the voice of God and prophesied.
And when he did —
The breath came.
And they lived.
This is not the story of men reviving themselves.
This is the story of God using a prophetic people to speak life into what seemed beyond hope.
And it worked.
💥 This is the awakening we’re now witnessing across the earth.
Not hype, not mere revival meetings —
but a sovereign move of resurrection power awakening the elect.
These are the sons of God,
the Manchild company,
the living members of the Body of Christ,
standing up in the fullness of Christ — bone to His bone.
They don’t just attend church —
They are the Church awakened.
They don’t just know Scripture —
They are the living Word, breathed on by Spirit.
🛡️ They rise as warriors.
👑 They reign as kings.
🔥 They move as one army — full of glory, life, and divine purpose.
This prophecy isn’t about Israel alone.
It’s about every dry, scattered, fragmented part of the body of Christ being drawn together, formed, filled, and raised to walk in dominion.
This is your story, son of God.
You are not a valley dweller anymore.
You are part of the army awakened —
Living. Standing. Marching. Reigning.
Because the breath of God has entered you.
And you… have come alive.
🟦 Chapter 7: A Great Army Stood on Their Feet — The Sons in Formation
“And they lived, and stood up upon their feet, an exceeding great army.” — Ezekiel 37:10
They didn’t just breathe.
They didn’t just come alive.
They stood.
The moment the breath entered them, they rose —
Not as scattered individuals,
but as one unified army.
🛡️ This is the formation of the sons of God.
This is the rise of the overcomers,
the Manchild company,
the Elect who walk not in religion,
but in the power of the resurrection.
This is not an army of carnal weapons.
This is an army of Spirit and truth,
carrying the mind of Christ,
robed in righteousness,
and governed by the Throne.
They don’t march to the drum of politics.
They don’t rise for denominational power.
They rise for Zion’s call —
to rule and reign in righteousness,
to declare the will of God in the earth.
💡 These are those who have been through the valley,
heard the call,
received the Word,
felt the shaking,
been joined to the Body,
filled with the Spirit —
and now, they stand.
They stand in formation.
They stand in agreement.
They stand in their identity.
And they’re not waiting to go to heaven —
Heaven is being released through them.
This is the moment the valley becomes a battlefield of glory.
And the dry bones become the living rulers of the age to come.
God is not raising up spectators.
He is raising up sons.
And they are standing now.
The earth has never seen such a company.
But heaven has been waiting for this moment.
And now —
they rise.
🟪 Chapter 8: Son of Man, These Bones Are the Whole House of Israel
“Then He said to me, Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel…” — Ezekiel 37:11
The vision becomes clear.
God speaks plainly:
These bones are not just bodies — they are a people.
Not just the Israel of the flesh —
But the Israel of God (Galatians 6:16),
the people of promise,
the sons of the Spirit,
the ones called out to carry His covenant into a new age.
🌀 These bones represent the Church in its dry condition,
the scattered members of the Body,
cut off, divided, disjointed —
without breath, without identity, without hope.
But God never forgot His house.
He never forgot His covenant.
And now, He reveals that the scattered bones are His elect,
those marked from the beginning,
though they forgot who they were.
They say:
“Our bones are dried, our hope is lost, and we are cut off for our parts.”
But God says:
“Behold, O My people, I will open your graves.”
📣 This is the prophetic revelation:
God is not done with His house.
Not natural Israel alone,
not the religious church,
but the whole house of spiritual Israel —
those who are in Christ,
born not of flesh, but of promise.
These are the ones
who went into captivity,
who forgot who they were,
who fell asleep in the valley…
But now, the trumpet is sounding.
Now, the Spirit is speaking.
Now, the graves are being opened.
🔥 You are part of that house.
And you are not cut off.
You are being remembered.
You are being restored.
The prophecy of Ezekiel 37 is not about despair —
It is a divine declaration:
God will not leave His house in the dust.
He is breathing again.
He is gathering again.
He is revealing who His people are —
And they are rising in resurrection power.
🟫 Chapter 9: I Will Open Your Graves and Bring You Into Your Own Land
“Behold, O My people, I will open your graves, and cause you to come up out of your graves, and bring you into your own land.” — Ezekiel 37:12
Graves don’t just speak of death.
They speak of limitation, forgetfulness, and captivity.
The people of God had been buried —
under religion,
under tradition,
under the lies of separation and powerlessness.
But God gives a promise:
“I will open your graves.”
💥 This is resurrection beyond the physical.
This is awakening into spiritual inheritance.
This is the voice of the Lord shattering every tomb built by man,
every identity buried under shame, fear, or false theology.
God is not just reviving us to breathe.
He is raising us to possess the land.
🌍 What land?
Not just Israel’s physical borders —
but the land of promise,
the Kingdom of God,
the full inheritance of sonship,
where we rule with Christ from Mount Zion in the Spirit.
He says:
“I will bring you into your own land.”
That means no more wandering.
No more foreign captivity.
No more identity crisis.
This is the return to the place of authority.
To the place of fruitfulness.
To the land flowing with the fullness of Christ.
The graves were real — but they’re not the end of the story.
And if He said,
“I will open your graves,”
then the same voice is saying to you now:
Come out. Come up. Come into your inheritance.
You were never meant to dwell in the grave.
You were always meant to live in the glory.
And now — He’s bringing you home.
🔟 Chapter 10: I Will Put My Spirit in You, and You Shall Live
“And shall put my spirit in you, and ye shall live, and I shall place you in your own land…” — Ezekiel 37:14
This is not just about bones.
Not just about flesh.
Not just about breath.
This is about the Spirit.
God’s final promise in Ezekiel’s vision is the seal of sonship —
“I will put My Spirit in you, and you shall live.”
🕊️ This is the Pentecost beyond Pentecost.
This is not a one-time experience.
This is the indwelling of the Spirit that births the sons of God,
those who live, walk, and reign by the Spirit,
not by the law,
not by performance,
but by divine life from within.
He doesn’t just restore the body —
He fills it with glory.
He doesn’t just raise an army —
He empowers it with divine authority.
🔥 This is how the sons rule.
Not through carnal strength, but through the Spirit of the Living God.
This is the breath of resurrection,
the anointing of dominion,
the life of the ages entering into vessels made ready.
God says:
“You shall live.”
Not just exist.
Not just function.
But LIVE — in Spirit, in power, in union with Christ.
And He says:
“Then shall ye know that I the Lord have spoken it, and performed it.”
What He started in the valley,
He finishes in glory.
The bones were dead — but now they live.
The people were scattered — but now they’re gathered.
The Spirit has come — and now the sons of God stand in resurrection life.
This is your promise.
This is your moment.
The same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you.
And now, the whole valley is echoing with the sound of glory:
LIVE.
RISE.
REIGN.
