During
the reading of the Valley of Dry Bones found in Ezekiel 37:1-14, I saw a cliff
wall made of solid rock.
All around the rock wall it was totally dark, like night.
I saw a hand reach up and grab the rock wall.
The hand and forearm that I saw had no skin on it.
It was just bones, muscle, and sinew.
It had its fingers dug in to the wall gripping it.
Then the Lord showed me the top of the cliff.
There was a flowing river.
The river had many bends and turns in it.
The water moved quickly but also looked peaceful.
There were rocks in the river that caused small waterfalls as it flowed
over them.
Even
though it was dark out, the river seemed to have light coming from it.
Then the Lord took my vision back in to the valley.
Starting about halfway down the rock wall was a thick blanket of fog.
The fog was so dense it was white.
It made it impossible to see the bottom of the valley.
As I watched, I could see more hands like the first one I saw reaching
up through the top of the fog, towards the rock wall.
I knew that they were trying to reach the top where the river was
flowing.
In
order to get out of the valley they had to grasp firmly on to the Rock, which
is Jesus Christ.
The Lord calls them forth out of the Valley of Dry Bones and into the
River of God, where there is life.
Everything lives in the River.
He doesn’t call them forth to walk their own path, go there own way,
or go back in to religious tradition.
They are called forth for His purposes and His glory.
The fog covering the valley speaks of the blanket the enemy throws over
those in bondage to keep them from seeing a way out.
The enemy moves in a realm of deceit and error and you have to come up
out of that to see the fullness of what God has.
There is life in the River.
