Opening Scriptures
(Ezekiel 37:1-3)
(1) The hand of the Lord was upon me, and carried me out in the spirit of the Lord, and set me down in the midst of the valley, which was full of bones, (2)And caused me to pass by them round about: and, behold, there were very many in the open valley; and, lo, they were very dry. (3) And he said unto me, Son of man, can these bones live? And I answered, O Lord God, thou knowest.

(Ezekiel 37:11-14
(11) Then he said to me: "Son of man, these bones are the people of Israel. They say, 'Our bones are dried up and our hope is gone; we are cut off.' (12) Therefore prophesy and say to them: 'This is what the Sovereign LORD says: My people, I am going to open your graves and bring you up from them; I will bring you back to the land of Israel. 13Then you, my people, will know that I am the LORD, when I open your graves and bring you up from them. 14I will put my Spirit in you and you will live, and I will settle you in your own land. Then you will know that I the LORD have spoken, and I have done it, declares the LORD.'"
PEACE AND BLESSINGS!
Hello Brothers and Sisters in Christ (Yahshua). Prophet Phillips and I greet you with love, prayer, and well wishes. Our constant prayer is that all is well, and that we all are continuously walking in God’s favor, mercy, and grace, as we together by faith, believe God for a soon and speedy release from this COVID-19 Pandemic.
I do understand that it has been a while since you have received a message, and I once again apologize for that. I as well have been waiting for the Most High to release part 5 to me, so that I can pass it on. .However, with all the events that are taken place around us, including this COVID-19, life is truly happening. These occurrences amongst other situations have taken us off schedule and have altered our timing. Nevertheless, we are regrouping , rescheduling, and repositioning so that we can continue ministering the word of God to you, so that you can remain informed of what is spiritually taken place in the earth that will greatly impact us as believers and God’s chosen people. In our last message, there was a vital question on the table; Who are God’s people called by his name from Chronicles 7:14? Again I add that, as I go through this identity journey, just understand that I am in no way disregarding or downplaying any of God’s children. As the song goes, Red, yellow, black, or white, we all are precious in his sight. Therefore, I do praise The Most High for all of my brothers and sisters in Christ (Yahshua). However, there is a people who have been asleep, and this is the season for them to wake and allow the most high to resurrect them from the grave in which they have been sleeping in. Therefore, this message speaks expressively to this people
Let us take a closer look at the opening scriptures above. (Ezekiel 37: 1-3)
The hand of the Lord was upon me, and carried me out in the spirit of the Lord, and set me down in the midst of the valley, which was full of bones,2 And caused me to pass by them round about: and, behold, there were very many in the open valley; and, lo, they were very dry.3 And he said unto me, Son of man, can these bones live? And I answered, O Lord God, thou knowest. 4 Again He said unto me, prophesy upon these bones, and say, O ye dry bones, hear the word of the Lord.
HOPELESSNESS - a feeling or state of despair, lack of hope. Let us take a moment and think about what is going on in our communities. We have police brutality, blacks killing blacks at an excessively high rate, abortions by the million, poverty, unbearable sickness and diseases, as reported in the news, most likely to die from COVID-19, make up about one half of the prison population, and finally, our life expectancy is the lowest in the nation. With all of these negative factors, it is yet important for us to know that we only make up 14% of the nation’s population, and we have been serving this great country for 400 years. When you see all of the negative forces that plague our people, do you see why there is a growing feeling of HOPELESSNESS resonating from our people?
When I think about the negative factors mentioned above, it reminds me of the valley of the very dry bones spoken of in the book of Ezekiel 37. It seems as if we have lost our fight to get up, come together as a people, and turn truly back to our God (Yah). Instead of capitalizing on the fight within, we as a great people remains separated and refuse to unite, we continue to rest lifeless in a grave prepared for us from the first day of our captivity, and instead of showing victory, we exhibit to the world, a defeated people. Have we reached that point where we feel that there is no hope for us? Well, let me ease your mind. There is hope, and it is wrapped up in our willingness to hearing the word of the LORD.
It is time for us to be resurrected from this valley which is full of dry bones. In doing so we must humble ourselves and listen to what the LORD is directing the prophets amongst us to speak. God (Yah) sees us in the state that we are in, and he hear our thoughts. Nevertheless, 'Our bones are (not) dried up and our hope is (not) gone; and we are (not) cut off. We must listen to the son of man (God’s anointed prophets). Just as he spoke to Ezekiel, He has given His prophet of today a similar charge, to Prophesy upon these dry bones, and say, O ye bones (my people) hear the word of the LORD. “I am going to open your graves and bring you up from them.” However, He is going to wake us up and give us life as we follow the instruction in Chronicles 7:14, If my people which are called by my name , shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
Thanks to Sister Evelyn who commented so beautifully, “God is calling for His chosen people to seek Him and restoration of the relationship we have been blinded to because of our disobedience to Him and His laws. Help us turn from our sin and restore us so that you will be glorified in us again. Brothers and sisters, we are not a people without hope. We just need to return.
I will stop here. Continue reading Ezekiel 37 in its entirety and see what the son of man (the prophet), prophesied to the dry bones (the people of Israel). Also add to your reading Isaiah 49: 24,25 and Isaiah 51:4,5,6. We will continue next week with Release 4 question, “Who is the seed that God told Abraham will be in a land that is not theirs for 400 years?
As I close, I just want to say, Prophet Phillips and I are forever praying for your strength and safety, as we continue to endure this COVID -19 pandemic. Let us continue to pray for one another.
We love you all with a sincere Love in Yahshua Messiah (Jesus Christ)
