REVIVAL IN THE VALLEY OF DRY BONES
Wednesday, April 15th, 2026
Verse of the Day
""So I prophesied as I was commanded: and as I prophesied, there was a noise, and behold a shaking, and the bones came together, bone to his bone." Ezekiel 37:7(KJV)"— ISAIAH 66:14; EZEKIEL 37:1-14; ACTS 3:19-20; REVELATION 3:20-22
The Holy Spirit is the Sacred Breath of God. He is the Divine Spark that brings Life to anything that seems dead or broken. The Holy Bible shows us that He is the Same Creative Power Who brought order to the world in the Beginning, (Gen. 1:2) the Same Resurrection Power Who brought Jesus back from the dead (Rom. 8:11) and the Same Living Water Who flows inside every person who believes in Him (Jn. 7:38-39). When the prophet Ezekiel stood in a valley full of dry dead bones, God showed him a Great Truth: Wherever the Holy Spirit moves, death is replaced by Life (Ezek. 37:9-10). No situation is too far gone for God to fix because with Him, everything is possible (Matt. 19:26).
The story of the dry bones is the Perfect Picture of how God Almighty Himself revives us. We can see how God works through these Three Steps:
1. THE CALL: God led Ezekiel to that valley. Revival is not something we start on our own; it begins when we follow God’s Lead.
2. THE HOPELESS SITUATION: The bones were "very dry." This represents times in our lives when we feel like our dreams, our families or our Spiritual lives are completely dead and cannot be saved.
3. THE STIRRING: When Ezekiel spoke God’s Word, there was a "rattling" sound. That was the Sound of God beginning to fix things before Ezekiel could even see the Result. Your "valley," the place where you feel stuck or broken, is not your final stop. It is God’s Workshop. He is waiting for you to trust Him and speak Life into that situation, just as He commanded Ezekiel to do.
Revival starts when we stop trying to fix everything ourselves and start making Space for God. Here are Five Simple Keys to welcome His Power:
(a.) Prayer that keeps going: Like Jacob in the Holy Scriptures, who wrestled with God until he got his Blessing, we should keep praying until we see a change (Gen. 32:24-28).
(b.) Fasting to focus: Sometimes, skipping meals to focus completely on God helps us break through difficult problems (Matt. 17:21).
(c.) Worship that breaks chains:* When we sing and praise God even when things are hard, it changes the atmosphere around us *(Acts 16:25-26).
(d.) Living right for God: When we try to live in a Way that honours God, our lives become like a Clean House where His Presence loves to stay (Ex. 40:34-35).
(e.) Speaking Life: Our words are powerful. Whenever we speak God’s Promises instead of complaining about our problems, we help create a better Future for ourselves *(Prov. 18:21).
Genuine Revival never stays with just one person. When the Early followers of the Lord Jesus were filled with the Holy Spirit, they went from being a small, quiet group to a Movement that changed thousands of lives (Acts 2:41).* Whenever God’s people are truly on Fire, the world notices. People find Freedom from bad habits, families are brought back together and communities start to change for the better.
