1 The Dry Bones Shall Live Again, by Mr Mboneni Rathiyaya, Friday All Night Prayer, the 03 rd of February 2012, 2 nd Session What do you do when you face crisis? You worship. That is what Job did. In Acts the servant of God were beaten, and sent to prison but despite that they worshipped and guess what happened? The Lord came down. When you worship He comes down. It doesn t matter what is happening, He will come down. When the Israelites said to God, When the Egyptians came after us, You rose up! it means when you are praying Him in truth and spirit he will arise in your situation also. He told the Israelites I am doing it because I want them to know that I am God, the living God. When you are busy praising and worshipping God, He frustrates your enemies. He is ready to frustrate your enemies. The bible says when Paul and Silas were worshipping; the foundations of the prison shook. The bible says even the doors opened. Scripture Reading: Ezekiel 37:1-14 Ezek 37:1-6 1 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. 2 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. 3 And He said to me, "Son of man, can these bones live?" So I answered, "O Lord God, You know." 4 Again He said to me, "Prophesy to these bones, and say to them, 'O dry bones, hear the word of the Lord! 5 Thus says the Lord God to these bones: "Surely I will cause breath to enter into you, and you shall live. 6 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."'" Ezek 37:1-6, NKJV. Ezekiel was a prophet of the Lord. The Lord took him to a valley of dry bones. Today the dry bones shall live again. If God says it will happen nobody can change it. We are living in a world that is full of dry bones. Verse 5 reads "Surely I will Page 1 of 9

2 cause breath to enter into you, and you shall live. When Ezekiel went to the dry bones he said Thus says the Lord. He knew it was not his doing, that it was the Lord s doing. God says "Surely I will cause breath to enter into you, and you shall live. You shall live again. It doesn t matter what happened to you. Many people are living in their prisons, different prisons, some are in a physical prison, some are in prison because of worry, some because their children do not listen to them. We need to shake all this prisons off. After Ezekiel prophesied he heard a loud noise and he saw each bone going to find the other bones. This means that when God says Go back to that which was stolen from you, it will go back and it will not go to any person, it will come back to you or to where it belongs. God does these things because He wants us to know that He is God. Verse 6 reads 6 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. We have a problem. God blesses people and then they forget God. You hear them saying I went to school and studied very hard for 7 years, I used my money. No, it was God who did it all. He is doing it to show you He is God and He wants you, your life to be a testimony to the world. Ezek 37: 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. 8 Indeed, as I looked, the sinews and the flesh came upon them, and the skin covered them over; but there was no breath in them. 9 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."'" 10 So I prophesied as He commanded me, and breath came into them, and they lived, and stood upon their feet, an exceedingly great army. 11 Then He said to me, "Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel. They indeed say,'our bones are dry, our hope is lost, and we ourselves are cut off!' 12 Therefore prophesy and say to them, 'Thus says the Lord God: "Behold, O My people, I will open your graves and cause you to come up from your graves, and bring you into the land of Israel. 13 Then you shall know that I am the Lord, when I have opened your graves, O My people, and brought you up from your graves. 14 I will put My Spirit in you, and you shall live, and I will place you in your Page 2 of 9

3 own land. Then you shall know that I, the Lord, have spoken it and performed it," says the Lord.'" Ezek 37:7-14, NKJV. God says He will open our graves and take us out. We are living with dead people. You know what is killing you and you need to be resurrected and be taken out of the grave. The dry bones shall live again. Whatever was dry in my life, God put a new life in me again. To God be the Glory. You need to speak so that your prison can open. Some come to church but they are in prison. Imagine a person walking around but with burglar bars around them. God says by mere praise the foundations of your prison must be shaken in the name of Jesus. Those doors must be shaken in the name of Jesus. Many are in prison. How long have you been sick? You come to church with that very same sickness. The bible says when you worship God in truth and in spirit, the foundations will be shaken and those dry bones will live again. Page 3 of 9
