Dry Bones Shall Rise Again

Dry Bones Shall Rise Again: The Mystery of the Valley of Dry Bones

Have you ever looked at a area of your life—your finances, your marriage, your health, or even your spiritual walk—and thought, “It’s over. It’s too late”?
Many believers find themselves in a ‘valley’ season where finances, health, or spiritual fire seem to have withered away. However, we serve a God of resurrection. Below, you will find the full message, scripture readings, and high-voltage prayer points to command every dead virtue in your life to come alive today.

Bible Verse: Ezekiel 37:3

And he said unto me, Son of man, can these bones live? And I answered, O Lord God, thou knowest.

In the Bible, the Prophet Ezekiel was dropped into a valley filled with bones that were not just dead, but “exceedingly dry.” They had been dead for a long time. Yet, God asked a startling question: “Can these bones live?”. The answer for your life today is a resounding YES.

The story of the Valley of Dry Bones (Ezekiel 37) is not just an ancient miracle; it is a spiritual blueprint for anyone facing a “dead-end” situation.

When the hand of the Lord carried Ezekiel to that valley, he wasn’t looking at a fresh battlefield; he was looking at the aftermath of a long-forgotten defeat. The Bible says the bones were “exceedingly dry.” This means hope had evaporated, the marrow was gone, and according to human logic, restoration was impossible.

1. The Question of Faith: “Can These Bones Live?”

Before God performed the miracle, He tested the Prophet’s perspective. God often asks us about our problems—not because He doesn’t know the answer, but to see if we will agree with the circumstance or with His power.

Meaning for You: When God asks if your situation can change, your best response is Ezekiel’s: “O Lord God, Thou knowest.” This is an admission that while it is impossible for man, it is a small thing for the Creator.

2. The First Prophecy: The Sound of Alignment

Ezekiel began to speak as commanded. Suddenly, a sound echoed through the valley—a shaking. This was the sound of organization.

Bone flew to bone.
Sinews (muscles) and flesh began to cover them.
The lesson: Sometimes, God’s first move in your life is “The Shaking.” He begins to put things in order, bringing the right connections and structures back together, even before you see the final life-breath.

3. The Second Prophecy: The Breath of the Four Winds

The bodies were now complete, but they were still corpses. They had structure but no life. Ezekiel had to prophesy a second time, calling for the Ruach (the Breath of God) to blow.

When the wind entered them, they didn’t just stand up; they stood up as an exceedingly great army. God didn’t just want to “fix” the bones; He wanted to turn a graveyard of victims into a battalion of victors.

Why This Story Matters for You Today

If you are reading this and feel like your “bones” are scattered, remember these three spiritual truths from Ezekiel’s experience:

Dryness is not Death: To God, “dry” is just a state of being waiting for a word. Your wasted years are not gone; they are simply waiting for the Prophetic Word to call them back.
Your Mouth is the Trigger: God had the power to raise the bones alone, but He waited for Ezekiel to speak. Your breakthrough is tied to your confession.
The Goal is an Army: God isn’t just reviving your finances or health so you can “survive.” He is reviving you so you can become a force for His Kingdom.

Understanding the “Valley” Season

A “dry bone” situation is any circumstance that has lost its life, color, and momentum. It’s the business that isn’t growing, the relationship that has gone cold, or the dream you’ve given up on.

But according to Ezekiel 37, dryness is not the end; it is simply the stage for a miracle. God uses these moments to demonstrate that He is the only source of life.

3 Steps to Prophesy to Your Situation

To see your dry bones rise, you must follow the divine pattern revealed in scripture:

1. Change Your Perspective When God asked Ezekiel if the bones could live, Ezekiel didn’t look at the dryness; he looked at God’s sovereignty. Stop focusing on how “dead” the situation is and start focusing on how “alive” your God is.

2. Speak the Word The bones didn’t move until Ezekiel prophesied. You must open your mouth and speak the promises of God over your life. Silence in the valley is a death sentence; speaking the Word is a resurrection command.

3. Invite the Holy Spirit (The Wind) Structure is not enough. The bones came together, but they had no life until the “Wind” (the Ruach or Holy Spirit) blew. You need the power of the Holy Spirit to breathe on your efforts to make them fruitful.
