Topic: Speak To The Wind

Text: "Then said he unto me, Prophesy unto the wind,
prophesy, son of man, and say to the wind, Thus
saith the Lord God; Come from the four winds, O
breath, and breathe upon these slain, that they
may live" (Ezekiel 37:9).

Wind has a powerful symbolism as it is often
identified with the Holy Spirit. Of course, there
are many types of wind in Scripture—some were
winds of destruction (see Mark 4:37; Acts 27:14-
15), while others were winds from God that
came to breathe life and blessings. One such
example was the wind of the Holy Spirit on the
Day of Pentecost. This kind of wind typifies the
breath of God upon something. In the valley of
dry bones, Ezekiel spoke life to the group of dry
bones, causing them to come together and form
what resembled people (see Ezek. 37:1-10).
Then the Lord commanded the prophet to speak
to the wind so that the lifeless figures would
receive breath. The wind came into them,
causing them to live and stand up as a great
army. God has a breath of wind to blow upon the
lifeless things He wants raised up in our lives.
Sure they may look like nothing more than a
group of dry bones right now, scattered across
what looks to be a depressing valley. However,
today God wants to breathe life on these things
that you gave up on. It’s time to speak to the
wind.

PRAYER
Lord, I speak to the winds of the Spirit and
command life to come into my
hopes and dreams, which look like they will never
live. I say to these dreams
right now, live! Amen.
