“PROPHESY TO THE WIND”.
…Prophesy upon these bones, and say unto them, O ye dry bones, hear the word of the LORD. Thus saith the Lord GOD unto these bones; Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, and ye shall live (Ezekiel 37:1-5).
Are you aware that you can change hopeless situations and effect positive changes in your life through the creative power of God’s Word in your mouth? You can change anything through the gift of prophecy. To prophesy means to speak words of divine revelation and potency: words that have, and give life.
In our opening scripture, Ezekiel found himself in a valley full of dry bones, and the Lord asked him, “Can these bones live?” Ezekiel’s response was, “Lord, you alone can tell”; it was a hopeless situation. Nevertheless, God said to Ezekiel, “Prophesy to these bones”; He needed Ezekiel’s cooperation.
Now, here’s the interesting thing: the first thing God said would happen to the bones following Ezekiel’s prophecy was that He would cause breath to enter into them. But read what happened: “So I prophesied as I was commanded: and…when 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 37:7-8).
Ezekiel prophesied as he was commanded, but the very first thing God said would happen to the bones didn’t happen; there was no breath in them. He brought this to God’s attention and God said to him, “…Prophesy unto the wind, prophesy, son of man…” (Ezekiel 37:9).
Notice the difference this time: he was to prophesy to the wind, not the bones now. When he did, the Bible says, “…breath came into them, and they lived, and stood up upon their feet, an exceeding great army” (Ezekiel 37:10). This is as profound as it is instructive.
Sometimes, a word of prophecy comes to us, and we’re waiting for it to be fulfilled, and it doesn’t; so we think the prophecy was false. But we never asked the Lord what next to do as Ezekiel did. Ask the Holy Spirit the next step to take; the specific words to speak now. He’s our Instructor; He leads and guides us. He’ll show you what to do, and tell you what to say. Maybe you need to “Prophesy to the wind” too. Hallelujah!
PRAYER
Righteous Father, you have set me over the nations and over the kingdoms, to proclaim your goodness and declare your faithfulness to the ends of the earth. Your righteousness is established in the nations, and the Gospel of Christ prevails and is glorified in all the earth, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Hebrews 13:5-6 [Let your] conversation [be] without covetousness; [and be] content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. 6 So that we may boldly say, The Lord [is] my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me.

I affirm that I am an offspring of the Word. Nothing is impossible unto me because as Jesus is, so am I in this world.
I am energized and aglow with the anointing, and the grace and peace of God are multiplied to me through the knowledge of God, as I walk in and with the Spirit to impact my world with the Gospel.
The wisdom of God guides me to talk and live right always; manifesting the righteousness of Christ!
I have a meek and quiet spirit, which in the sight of God is of great price.
I am patient, compassionate and kind; and I demonstrate the love of God to my world today.
My eyes are anointed to see the best in people and the good in the land.
I am strong and courageous; I refuse to be moved by the things I see with my physical eyes!
I choose to see with the eyes of the spirit, I see glory, victory, success, and triumph all around me.
I see with the eyes of the spirit, through the Word, my glorious heritage in Christ.
I see my salvation, strength, courage, victory, and righteousness! Hallelujah!
My life is an endless stream of the miraculous because I can see through the Word that God has given unto me all things that pertain to life and Godliness.
I give expression to the life of Christ and His nature of righteousness in me today, functioning with precision and wisdom in all I do.
Today, I bring forth good things from within me because eternity is laid in my heart.
I bring forth creative ideas because Christ has been made unto me wisdom.
I initiate success, victory, and prosperity from within.
Glory to God.
Hallelujah!
