Ezekiel is faced with a seemingly unfortunate and discouraging situation. God spoke to him through dreams and visions and in the record of his 22 years in ministry, we find at least six separate visions that Ezekiel received from the Lord.
Perhaps his most recognized vision, one that even many who have never read the Bible are somewhat familiar with, is concerning a valley filled with lifeless dry bones. This vision revealed Israel's conquered condition in captivity and its restoration. The Lord asked Ezekiel if these bones could live? Ezekiel looking at millions of dead, dry bones … scattered about 100’s of square miles said, O Lord God You know.
The scripture makes it clear from a human perspective there was absolutely no way that there would ever be life there again. Verse 2 of Ezekiel 37 says "They were dry" meaning no life remained in them. Ezekiel had to go round and round several times the bones, that he might take exact notice of them, of their number, situation, and condition. No created power could restore human bones to life, God alone is the Restorer.
No matter where you are, no matter how dried up you are in your spirit, you can come alive. No matter how long you have been down, God will raise you up. There are no impossibility with God. If you have been dead spiritually for a week, or for many years, God can lift you up because He isn’t into dead things.

Declare This: Precious Heavenly Father, You are the God of all impossibilities and nothing can limit You. Thank You for making alive and changing any unwanted situation in my life in Jesus name Amen.
