Reviving the Dry Bones: A Journey of Faith
The sermon delivered by Pastor Carlos Gentile on November 16, 2025, at the Middletown Baptist Church focuses on the profound biblical narrative of the valley of dry bones, as recounted in Ezekiel 37. Central to this message is the notion that, despite appearances of desolation and despair, God possesses the sovereign ability to breathe life into seemingly hopeless situations. Pastor Gentile emphasizes that every individual, regardless of their current state, is endowed with a divinely ordained purpose and that through faith, one can experience revitalization and restoration. The discourse urges the congregation to embrace their faith and actively engage with the Word of God, fostering a community that spreads hope and renewal. This powerful message serves as a reminder that God is continually at work in our lives, transforming our dry bones into a living army of believers, filled with purpose and vitality.
Takeaways:
- Pastor Carlos Gentile emphasizes that every individual faces a valley of dry bones, symbolizing moments of despair and hopelessness throughout their lives.
- The message encourages listeners to recognize that God has a purpose in placing them in challenging situations, as these trials cultivate growth and strength in faith.
- Ezekiel's experience in the valley serves as a reminder that God can bring life to what seems dead, reinforcing the belief that revival is possible in our lives and communities.
- The importance of proclaiming the word of God is highlighted, as it is through speaking truth that transformation occurs, allowing individuals to witness the power of faith in action.
- The podcast reiterates that one's past does not define their future; instead, God invites us to embrace hope and restoration amidst our struggles and uncertainties.
- Finally, the sermon calls for a collective revival, urging the congregation to actively engage in spreading the message of God's love and salvation to those who are spiritually dry.

Speaker BThis is the power every man and every woman have to have in his heart.
Speaker BOkay?
Speaker BRemember the title.
Speaker BThe title is Dry Bones.
Speaker BHear the word of the Lord.
Speaker BSomething amazing.
Speaker BThe hand of the Lord was upon me and carried me out in The Spirit.
Speaker BEzekiel 37:1.
Speaker BWe're reading already.
Speaker BAnd set me down in the midst of the valley which was full of bones in Ezekiel 37:3.
Speaker BAnd he said unto me, son of man, can this bone live?
Speaker BAnd an O Lord God, thine knowest.
Speaker BWow, this is very strong.
Speaker BEzekiel be taken from the Lord.
Speaker BHe no choice to go there, okay?
Speaker BFirst of all, he take it.
Speaker BGod put him there because he have a purpose.
Speaker BAny situation you have in your life tonight, today, God put you there.
Speaker BAnd remember this.
Speaker BWe have to identify the situation when we choice have that situation or God put you in that situation, okay?
Speaker BBecause some people misunderstand.
Speaker BSome people make a choice and they blame God.
Speaker BNo, you make that choice.
Speaker BDon't blame God.
Speaker BGod converts your problems and purpose because they love us that much.
Speaker BYou know, when people make mistakes like I do all the time, little God say, hey, mistake.
Speaker BI have to help you out with a mistake.
Speaker BI have to help you out and make that problem and a purpose now.
Speaker BAnd now we see Ceclial they put there.
Speaker BAnd we see Sikh was taken by the spirit of the Lord into the valley full of dry bones.
Speaker BAnd you can imagine, right?
Speaker BYou never walking in the cemetery.
Speaker BWhat are you thinking?
Speaker BYou find in the cemetery, you think you find life.
Speaker BNo, you find bones, right?
Speaker BEzekiel, they walking in a place there's no signal of life.
Speaker BBut the Lord put him for a purpose.
Speaker BThey give you instructions.
Speaker BNow those bones represent the people of Israel who have lost their faith, their purpose and their hope.
Speaker BWhen you be a Christian and you lose you faith, you can't some Christian walking with the Lord for 30, 40 years.
Speaker BAnd they be normal life, right?
Speaker BIt's the same when you have something in life.
Speaker BLike when you buy a car, for example.
Speaker BYou have a car for the first two months and you're very happy with the car because it's new.
Speaker BBut later, when it passes five months, what happens?
Speaker BOkay, we lose sometimes our faith, our hope.
Speaker BWe start feeling our bones start dry.
Speaker BOkay, we lose our purpose and hope.
Speaker BBut God showed Ezekiel something powerful.
Speaker BOkay?
Speaker BGod showed him something.
Speaker BHe's able to bring life where he's dead.
Speaker BRemember, something happened in our life and we don't see no hope.
Speaker BWe say this not have solution.
Speaker BYou know, God able to bring life in that.
Speaker BGod always have solution in our life.
Speaker BGod have a purpose.
Speaker BLook, God restored what's been lost.
Speaker BRaised up an army where there is one only.
Speaker BGraveshire.
Speaker BBut come to tell somebody tonight, okay?
Speaker BGod is still working walking with you and Yuvali.
Speaker BI know it's people here tonight.
Speaker BThey have a very, very big decision maker in their life.
Speaker BThat's Jubali.
Speaker BAnd remember, he not leave you alone.
Speaker BHe's with you.
Speaker BYou have to learn to talking with the Lord.
Speaker BRemember when he always is available for talking with us.
Speaker BRemember, the Lord love us that much.
Speaker BThey sent his son to die for us.
Speaker BOur pastor today talking about the confidence of our salvation.
Speaker BThis morning you have to confidence in what?
Speaker BAnd this.
Speaker BEverything is in here.
Speaker BFrom Genesis to apocalypses, Genesis to revelation.
Speaker BI'm sorry.
Speaker BGod never lose a battle.
Speaker BGod always win.
Speaker BRemember, we continue here and we see sometime somebody be walking in that valley.
Speaker BHe don't run from your brokenness.
Speaker BGod never run away from you.
Speaker BEven when we sin.
Speaker BPeople ask me, I'm sin, I lose my salvation.
Speaker BNo, you never lose your salvation.
Speaker BYou lose your show to be saved.
Speaker BBut even with that, God is with you.
Speaker BThere people ask me, I'm sin.
Speaker BGod forgive me.
Speaker BNo, he don't forgive me.
Speaker BBut it's with you.
Speaker BYou need to repent.
Speaker BYou sin and he accepted you repent and he working with you.
Speaker BHe started establishing the staff.
Speaker BYou break and look at this.
Speaker BGod walking with you in new valley.
Speaker BAnd tonight we see five points.
Speaker BThis is only the introduction Once again, be ready.
Speaker BThis is number one.
Speaker BAnd go short.
Speaker BAnd go short.
Speaker BDon't worry about that.
Speaker BGod brings you to the valley to reveal a reality, to wake you up.
Speaker BFortelio.
Speaker BThe life you think it is is not real.
Speaker BI give you life.
Speaker BGod give you life.
Speaker BHe give you hope.
Speaker BSometimes we find hope in friends and other things.
Speaker BThat is not God.
Speaker BBut I tell you something, he's the only one bringing you hope.
Speaker BLet's go to point number one.
Speaker BAnd this based in Ezekiel 37:1 2.
Speaker BEzekiel didn't end up in the valley by accident.
Speaker BThe spirit lead him to dirt.
Speaker BSometimes God allow us to see dryness and not to discourage us.
Speaker BGod not leave you.
Speaker BYou make a mistake for the scourge you.
Speaker BThey wanted you learn.
Speaker BThey want to make you strong.
Speaker BThey want you walking with him.
Speaker BThey want you depending on him.
Speaker BYou know how many times I had to dependent on the Lord.
Speaker BAnd sometimes I say no, I'm doing my way.
Speaker BYour way is hard.
Speaker BYour way is not working.
Speaker BThis a typical friend.
Speaker BThey don't have a million dollars in the bank and they want to show you to make a million dollar.
Speaker BI have a lot of friends.
Speaker BAnd I said man, okay, but the only answer is in the Lord.
Speaker BAnd send nobody else.
Speaker BAnd look at what we have here.
Speaker BWe say, awaken us to his power.
Speaker BGod wanted you depending on him 100%.
Speaker BThe Bible says the bones were very dry.
Speaker BOkay, Ezekiel.
Speaker BSee bones really really dry.
Speaker BIn Ezekiel 37:2 we see that some hearts today are dry of faith.
Speaker BWhen you be a Christian for that long, sometime you're thinking you deserve everything, even your own salvation.
Speaker BYou forget the other people need you love too.
Speaker BYou forget the other people need you.
Speaker BGo outside and say, hey, I have a dry bones before I'm being like you.
Speaker BBut sometimes we be so much in our club, you know, so much inside our little place.
Speaker BWe have to go outside and tell the people how much God love you.
Speaker BWe have to go outside and tell the people we be in that place.
Speaker BWe be in that valley.
Speaker BAll of us be in the dry bones valley.
Speaker BYou know why?
Speaker BWhen you accept in the Lord and you be saved, you be rescued.
Speaker BAnd he rescued from that dry bones body.
Speaker BAnd he bring you to him.
Speaker BWhen you accepting the Lord.
Speaker BToday is the revival time.
Speaker BI want you remember the time in America they come in wars.
Speaker BYour hope not have to be in a man.
Speaker BJehovah has to be in here.
Speaker BThis is the hope we needed.
Speaker BThis is the torch we have to carry for the next generation.
Speaker BAnd look at what we see right now.
Speaker BThe Bible says they bury dry bones and the heart be dry of faith, dry of love, dry of passion of the Lord.
Speaker BAll of you have passion for the Lord tonight, and I know it.
Speaker BAll my brothers in Christ, because you read the Bible, nobody say, oh, it's already 14 chapters.
Speaker BYou can't believe it.
Speaker BOne pastor just coming back with your hand.
Speaker BNot leaving him preaching no more because he may get working.
Speaker BHe put us working.
Speaker BWe read 14 passages.

Speaker BBecause when we be too long, be safe.
Speaker BWe forget where we coming from.
Speaker BWe forget, we rescue.
Speaker BWe think we better than nobody.
Speaker BNo, we know we were rescued.
Speaker BYou know, in this economy and this problem, what the people say, that's a big problem in America.

Speaker BBut I'll tell you something.
Speaker BEven in the valley of dry bones, he walking with you.
Speaker BIt's no problem bigger than you got.
Speaker BSorry for the people thinking my problem is so big.
Speaker BNo, your problem is not big.
Speaker BYour God is bigger.
Speaker BRemember this.
Speaker BToday you fear because you want to hear the word of the Lord.
Speaker BAnd listen this.
Speaker BGod never show you the valley to leave you there, okay?
Speaker BHe never showed you the valley for leave Ezekiel there.
Speaker BHe show for kind of speak life into it for tell Ezekiel, hey, look at what I'm able to do, okay?
Speaker BGod put you in the situation because they know how much he able to do it for you.

Speaker BYou do stuff you don't want to do because that's his purpose.
Speaker BAnd some people don't understand that.
Speaker BSome people say, ah, so hard working for the Lord.
Speaker BIt's a lie.
Speaker BAnd be blessed all the time to the time I decide to follow the Lord and be blessed.
Speaker BEven I'm so blessed.
Speaker BThen Friday night, I'm taking my son to the gym.
Speaker BMy wife said, stop in the Mexican store and buy four avocados.
Speaker BWhen I go there, a lady say, pastor.

Speaker BI said, no, you don't have to do that.
Speaker BYou don't have to.
Speaker BShe said, no, you've stolen my blessings.
Speaker BAnd I say, you're right.
Speaker BIt's what I'm teaching people.
Speaker BWhen I want to do something for somebody and they tell me, no, I say, you've stolen my blessing.
Speaker BWe have to see the blessing in the little things.
Speaker BFor God put you in the big games, okay?
Speaker BSee your blessings.
Speaker BNo blessing is small, no blessing is little.
Speaker BNo stuff happening in your life.
Speaker BIt's your purpose.
Speaker BIt's God's purpose.

Speaker BHe don't use you with bad attitude.
Speaker BOh, I don't want to be here.
Speaker BGod put you when he need you.
Speaker BNo Put you where you want to be.
Speaker BNobody want to go in the dry bones Bali.
Speaker BBut God put you there because they need you there.
Speaker BThey need you to speak life in there.
Speaker BSometimes God put you with friends you don't want to be.
Speaker BBut he's there.
Speaker BHe put you for a reason.
Speaker BRemember, tonight, God talk to you.
Speaker BI always tell people, you feeling in comfort when I'm preaching.

Speaker BOh, the pastor offended me.
Speaker BNow some of us, we pray, lord, take me out of this valley.
Speaker BAnd God say, no, I'm not take you out now.
Speaker BI brought you here so that you through you can bring revival in this valley.
Speaker BGod put you in very uncomfortable places.
Speaker BVery uncomfortable situation because his power is over.
Speaker BYou know your power, the Lord power, He opened doors that nobody able to open.
Speaker BI tell you right now.
Speaker BI tell you God put you in places that you can imagine.
Speaker BGod changed your name from you be a slave for the daughter of the Son of the King.
Speaker BRemember, we don't serve a God of casualty.
Speaker BWe serve a God of purpose.
Speaker BRemember all the power God given to you.
Speaker BYou know, you have the power for the eternal life.
Speaker BAnd here isn't you preach the gospel or isn't you be quiet.
Speaker BThat's the reason the exercise today.

Speaker BAll right.
Speaker BGod's question of faith.
Speaker BEzekiel 37:3, Son of man, can these bones live?
Speaker BAmazing.
Speaker BGod was asking because he didn't know the answer.
Speaker BGod knows the answer.
Speaker BHe tested the prophet faith.
Speaker BHe wanted to make sure when you pray, you know, pray.
Speaker BOh, heavenly Father, I know you're not able to do this, but you able to do it for me.
Speaker BNo, you make sure God able to do it for you, because he do it.
Speaker BThe Bible says he's the creator of the whole universe.
Speaker BThe Bible says God with his hands pick up the whole universe.
Speaker BImagine that how many heroes you know that even marvel know able to create superheroes like that.
Speaker BBut what God do it?
Speaker BThe big guy with one hand, the whole universe.
Speaker BRemember this when you know when what you can still say Lord, you know, But I believe you can do it as you pray.
Speaker BYou have to do.
Speaker BI don't know what I do it.
Speaker BIt's this time of my life that really.
Speaker BI don't know what I'm doing.
Speaker BI remember my wife telling me everything is fine when Rachel had a problem, my daughter and the cancer thing.
Speaker BAnd.
Speaker BAnd I always say, oh yeah, everything is fine.
Speaker BBut really in the night I go outside, I say, oh my God, I don't know what to do, but I have to be the strong man in my house.
Speaker BAnd I'm not a strong man.
Speaker BJust remember, all of you have somebody to call and tell, hey, pray for me, right, Mark, we pray.
Speaker BWe called.
Speaker BI say, man, I can do nothing.
Speaker BI can make decisions, man.
Speaker BI can tell my wife, I don't know.
Speaker BJust remember this.
Speaker BWe serve an amazing God.
Speaker BAnd I want to.
Speaker BI want to say, oh, this is coming emotional.

Speaker BYou can feel it.
Speaker BYou can feel all of you, the love.
Speaker BYou pray for me.
Speaker BI guarantee you as people pray for me, how much love of the family of Christ, you know?
Speaker BAnd look at this now.
Speaker BYour situation might look impossible, but God always has the final word.
Speaker BLet's go to Luke 1:37.
Speaker BAnd before that, I want you to remember something.
Speaker BSecond Timothy 3:16.
Speaker BThey say all scripture is inspired for who by God Good.
Speaker BOkay.
Speaker BAll scripture, Old Testament and a New Testament.
Speaker BLet's go to Luke 1:37.
Speaker BFor with God, nothing shall be.
Speaker BWhat?
Speaker BOh, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Speaker BHow many believe really we serve in God from the impossible.
Speaker BAll right.
Speaker BHow many?
Speaker BLet's go and repeat again.
Speaker BRemember, you ask for the Lord Almighty for the creator of the universe.
Speaker BSomething impossible in your life tonight.

Speaker BHe loved you that much.
Speaker BAnd look at this.
Speaker BWe continue that your situation may be look impossible.
Speaker BBut God had the final word.
Speaker BAnd everything you ask for him is his will.
Speaker BThey give it to you.
Speaker BI guarantee you.
Speaker BI know people that God answered their prayers knowing the time they wanted.
Speaker BBut when God wanted you pray for something.
Speaker BMaybe today he answered to you.
Speaker BMaybe in a couple years.
Speaker BOr maybe he answered to you now.
Speaker BI'm not God.
Speaker BGod know their time.
Speaker BAnd we continue.
Speaker BAnd point number three.
Speaker BAll right.
Speaker BProphesy the word of the Lord, verse four and six, Ezekiel 37.
Speaker BFour and six.
Speaker BProphesy to these bones and say unto them, o ye dry bones.
Speaker BHear the word of the Lord.
Speaker BHear the secret.
Speaker BThe power is not from the prophet.
Speaker BIt's from the word of God.
Speaker BYou have the power in your hands.
Speaker BThe power of peace, the power of wisdom.
Speaker BThe power of your future is right here.
Speaker BAll generations have to know younger old people like me.
