Another A Dream on Ezeliel 37, The Valley of Dry Bones
I had a dream, March 12, 2010, in the dream, I saw a human body laying on the ground.
Ordinarily, this wouldn’t have been anything special except that the
body was completely flat because it had no bones in it. What the Lord
showed me was that the bones are representative of people and it is
people that make up the structure of the church. this is what what the
Lord had showed me in Ezekiel 37, “the valley of dry bones”. In
Ezekiel’s vision, the Lord took him and made him to set down in a
valley. The valley is symbolic of death and despair. There were many
bones in that valley they were both very dry because they had no
covering and they were also scattered, meaning that they were not
connected(no relationship). When the Lord asks Ezekiel ,”can these bones
live” , Ezekiel knew that bones, were without life and hope of ever
having life. Yet the Lord tells him to prophecy to the bones and
say,”hear the word of the Lord”. The Lord, through the prophetic word
spoken spoken by Ezekiel brought the disjointed bones together,however,
bones cannot attach themselves to one another, they need
ligaments(relationships) to hold them together. However, the ligaments
themselves do not posses the strength to hold the bones together alone.
So, wrapped around the ligaments is muscle(representative of
leadership), which brings me to the skin, which is the
covering(representative of the church),which brings me back to my latest
dream about the body with no bones. Everything heretofore mentioned is
needed by/for the skin(church) in order for it to take shape. The skin
will adapt to the structure it is covering. Even though Ezekiel saw the
body formed, he notes that there is no breath in them. As James says,
the body without the spirit is dead, so was the case here in Ezekiels
vision. It looked like a body but it had no life because the breath had
not come into the body. Again he is told to prophecy to the 4 winds and
command breath to come into the body and it is at this point that they
stood on their feet and became an exceeding great army. The point here
that I feel that the Lord is saying is that every part of the body is
needed for it to function properly. The body(church) is to be a living
organism, not organization, made up of billions of individual cells.
Eph. 2:22 says that we are built together for a dwelling place for God
by his Spirit. Lastly, Col2:19 says that it is He who puts us together
in one peice, whose very breath and blood flow through us. He is the
head and we are the body. We can grow up healthy in God only as he
nourishes us.
