⁹ Then 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 the breath came into them, and they lived and stood on their feet, an exceedingly great army. ~ Ezekiel 37:9-10

Ezekiel had already prophesied to the dry bones. There was already flesh and tendons on the bones. There was an army. It looked good to the natural eye. They were once dry bones; now they’re an army. But they had no breath. They had the appearance of life, but they were dead.

A lot of times, this is when we stop praying. This is the time when things start to look good again, when things are going right, and we stop when we have the appearance of the army, not realizing that the army is useless without breath. We stop praying when things begin to change, and all seems to be going good. We don’t take it to the next level. We don’t take that next step and prophesy to the breath. Because we have the body, but what good is a body without breath?

When things begin to go good, don’t stop praying. That’s the time to press in even deeper because if we can continue praying in the good, then we can see the favor of God truly pour out on us and all that we prophesy and pray over. We declare the good things that God has promised us even when things are going our way so that when trials and tribulations come, we have a mighty army filled with breath to fight against the enemy, not just a dead army that looks the part but has no breath.

Peace. Love. Go Forth and Prophesy to the Breath.

⁵⁹ So they sent their sister Rebekah on her way, along with her nurse and Abraham’s servant and his men. ⁶⁰ And they blessed Rebekah and said to her, “Our sister, may you increase to thousands upon thousands; may your offspring possess the cities of their enemies.” ~ Genesis 24:59-60^NIV

Notice how even though they aren’t serving God Almighty, they still understand the weight of words, and they bless Rebekah? We who have the very Spirit of God dwelling in us, the very same power that raised Jesus from the dead living in us, don’t bless our children, siblings, family, and friends the way we should. Instead, we use saying like ‘That’ll kill you’ or ‘They’ll learn when they feel.’ Our words seem to have turned negative from positive.

Maybe it’s just because I grew up in a Caribbean household (that has the influence of Pessimistic England), but it seems our world has become more and more negative. We believe we’ll fail before we succeed. There’s more depression and suicide throughout all the world than in previous years. There’s more bullying and angry children. Where are the blessings and the hope? We have God dwelling with us. Something that the ancient world never experienced, so why don’t we take advantage of it? Why don’t we speak life over our families and friends? Why don’t we speak life over our jobs and our ventures? Why don’t we speak life period?

I challenge you every day to speak at least one positive thing over your family and friends, then pay attention to see how things begin to change. For life and death is in the power of the tongue, and those that love it shall eat of its fruits.

Peace. Love. Go Forth and Eat of Its Fruit.

¹⁴ Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision: For the day of the Lord is near in the valley of decision. ¹⁵ The sun and the moon shall be darkened, And the stars shall withdraw their shining. ¹⁶ The Lord also shall roar out of Zion, And utter His voice from Jerusalem; And the heavens and the earth shall shake: But the Lord will be the hope of His people, And the strength of the children of Israel. ~ Joel 3:14–16

Watchman, sound the alarm. Watchman, blow the trumpet and warn the people. For the day of the LORD is near, even at the door. For many, it will be a day of darkness and fear. A day of terror and dread. A day of distress and misery. No ungodly will escape. No amount of money will buy a pardon. No amount of silver or gold will purchase amnesty for those who have sinned against our God.

For those who have needlessly and willingly shed innocent blood, those who show no mercy, no mercy will be shown to them. For the innocent blood cries out to God for justice. There is a dreadful day of reckoning awaiting those who imprison the innocent and set the guilty free. For those who call evil good and good evil. For those who curse the name of our God and the name of His Son. Against such will His anger flare, and against such will His indignation be poured out.

That day is near. The time has come. The valley of decision is upon you. Decide this day whom you will serve. Decide this day which you will choose, life or death. This is your last opportunity to choose life and live. For our God has promised hope to His people. A day of salvation, peace, and restoration. A bright day. A day of rejoicing and reunion with loved ones who have gone on before us.

Peace. Love. Go Forth and Blow The Trumpet.

²⁰ Pray that your flight may not be in winter or on a Sabbath. ²¹ For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been from the beginning of the world until now, no, and never will be. ~ Matthew 24:20–21

A time of night is decreed for us. It’s coming soon with a vengeance. Jesus isn’t talking to the world here. He’s talking to His followers. He said a time of night is coming that He described as “The Great Tribulation.” A time of persecution, death, and unrest for all the people of God. Not just a select part of the world.

God said that we are the watchmen on the wall. Us Christians. We are to announce what time of the day or what time of the night it is. We should discern the times and advise what to do. The thing to do now is to draw close to our God, pay attention, and pray. Make sure our loved ones, and ourselves, are ready to meet their God. Make sure our loved ones, and ourselves, are prepared for any tribulation to come. We have to make sure that no matter what comes our way, we won’t denounce the name of Christ. We have to prepare to make a stand regardless of what may be at stake. We have to choose to stand for Christ.

Peace. Love. Go Forth and Prepare Yourself For Winter.

⁴⁰ He answered, “I tell you, if these were silent, the very stones would cry out.” ~ Luke 19:40

If we hold our tongue, the silence itself will cry out to God through the watchman. “Watchman, what time of the night?” Then he repeats himself. “Watchman, what time of the night?” This gives some insight as to the direness of the situation. There seems to be a certain level of anxiety and apprehension on the side of the asker.

Today we are living in a time of trepidation—a time of perplexity. Fear is weaponized, and the people cower from it. Panic is on every side. One word, whether it is real or not real, sends the population into a frenzy.

We, the Church, have to be able to discern the times. We have to be able to lead others into the peace of God. There is no time for distraction, there is a war for our souls, and we have to awaken the dry bones. We have to prophesy the Word of the LORD, for He is coming very soon.

Peace. Love. Go Forth and Discern the Times.

¹ Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, ² looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God.³ Consider Him who endured from sinners such hostility against Himself, so that you may not grow weary or fainthearted. ~ Hebrews 12:1-3

The writer of Hebrews tells us that this life is a race. We can’t stop. We can’t turn left or turn right; we must run that straight and narrow path set before us. In a race, we don’t have breaks; we don’t have rests; we have to run with endurance. But the author doesn’t stop there; he goes on to encourage us that whenever we begin to grow weary or tired, to look to Jesus. To look to the Son of God who ran the race before us. The founder and perfecter of our faith who endured suffering and hostility for the sake of all mankind.

When we begin to grow weary, we can look to Jesus. Why? Because in His presence, we are renewed. Don’t be discouraged because though we are persecuted, we are not destroyed. When we are weak, He is strong. Hold on to the mighty hand of the living God.

Peace. Love. Go Forth and Run the Straight and Narrow.
