Brief review word shared by Elder (Humility as a vessel to achieve peace). Transformation series.

God's promise of restoration.

Introduction
In Ezekiel 37, God paints a vivid picture of Israel's spiritual and physical state. Despite their
hopelessness, God promises restoration. Let's explore this vision and discover how it
applies to our lives today.

In this chapter God explains the Israelites' spiritual state,

What was Israel State feeling:

• Hopelessness
• Dead lifeless, Dry, withered bones
• Lost/ scattered Jews people/Disconnected from God
• Broken up

Brief History about the Origin of Israel. Genesis 12:1-3

The Lord had said to Abram, go from your country, your people, and your father’s
household to the land I will show you.
“I will make you into a great nation,
and I will bless you;
I will make your name great,
and you will be a blessing.

I will bless those who bless you,

and whoever curses you I will curse;
and all peoples on earth
will be blessed through you.” – Genesis 12:1-3

This doesn’t make Israel more special; But about God's faithfulness and love for his
chosen people.

When you think of the nation of Israel, it is a reminder that when God says
something he will do it.

This man Abraham was the son of the pagan priest (Terah) Through Him we are all
blessed
Joshua 2:8 - The Testimony of Rahab
“I know that the Lord has given this land to you.”

This once a great nation and feared nation is in the condition of:

• Disconnected from God, lost, and scattered

• Dead, lifeless, dry, and withered bones
• Broken up
• Hopelessness
• We are cut off for ourselves

A message of God’s promise of restoration was delivered in the vision.

What is restoration?

The act or process of returning something to its earlier good condition.

What does the Bible narrate Ezekiel 37:1-14

MAIN TEXT Reading EZEKIEL 37:1-12

What lessons can churches today draw from the prophetic visions in Ezekiel
37?
• When the Lord’s hand is upon us we see opportunities, not conditions .
(You see opportunities not conditions. You see possibilities no matter
the state) around (vs:1)
• When we face difficult times, let us use God's Word to speak to those
conditions Verse 4
• When we come together life and hope joins.
(family, church, Mariage, Government, ministers, relationship).

• Breath and life are essential; without them, we are like corpses. Vs 8.
(This makes me remember Eva my beloved wife in ICU) She could not
breath on her own yet she had the body.
• When we come together there are high chances of getting life. (breath
of life)
Then the Lord God formed a man c from the dust of the ground and
breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a
living being.
Genesis 2:7
• God's Word has the power to restore and revive (v. 10-14).
 How does the prophecy of the dry bones demonstrate the power of God's
Word and how we apply it?
• Ask God’s hand to be upon us not against us.
• Speak life to dry bones to hear the word of God
• Trust God to re establish us.
