DRY BONES CAN LIVE!
by David Wilkerson
[May 19, 1931 - April 27, 2011]

Ezekiel 37 is all about God’s desire for us to lay hold of the promises of
His new covenant—learning how to truly live by entering into the blessing of
the covenant.

We have all heard the story of the “dry bones” that Ezekiel speaks of. It
is important to note that these vessels lying lifeless on the ground were under
the covenant. You see, the Lord had told them, “O dry bones, hear the word of
the Lord!” (Ezekiel 37:4). They had heard God’s covenant promise: “I will
put My Spirit in you, and you shall live.”

Yet, even though these dead bones had the new covenant promise preached to
them, they had not yet entered into the enjoyment of its blessings. Many
believers today know of God’s new covenant—yet they can hardly believe it,
because it sounds too good to be true. They say, “I know God has given us the
Holy Spirit to indwell us. And I know the Spirit takes it upon Himself to cause
us to obey Christ. Oh, I want that blessing badly, but how can I obtain it for
my life?”

There is something we must do. Ezekiel writes that God told him to prophesy,
“Thus says the Lord God: ‘Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe
upon these slain, that they may live’” (37:9). Then Ezekiel says he
prophesied as God had commanded, “. . . and breath came into them, and they
lived, and stood upon their feet, an exceedingly great army” (37:10).

Suddenly there stood before Ezekiel a great army, alive and breathing! The Holy
Spirit had filled all those dead bodies with life—and now they were prepared
to do battle. In an instant they had entered into the full enjoyment and
blessings of the new covenant. God’s Spirit had taken His rightful place in
them—and He was bringing about all the promised changes.
