The prophet Ezekiel was 30 years old when he began experiencing visions from God. At that time, Israel needed hope and was spiritually “dead” as a nation. So Jehovah gave Ezekiel the vision of the dry bones as a sign of restoration. Now picture Ezekiel standing in the middle of the field preaching God’s Word to piles of bones – and watching the bones reassemble into human form as the Lord breathed life into them so they’d stand on their feet as a great army!

I will give you a new heart, and a new spirit I will put within you.

Ezekiel 36:26

America’s churches and their attendees often appear to look like a heap of dry, lifeless bones, making little impact in this broken world. Yet if God can restore dried, shrunken bodies to life, then He can enliven Christians to change the hearts of this nation’s leaders and citizens through their bold witness and persistent prayers.

Breathe in God’s presence and dare to be revived as you seek Him and read His Word every day. Let go of hopelessness and doubt. Ask Him to fill the hearts of your family, neighbors and all Americans with a new spirit – His Holy Spirit.
