Reviving the Dry Bones: A Journey of Faith

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 B

You read the Bible, you read the word of God.

Speaker B

This is the power every man and every woman have to have in his heart.

Speaker B

Okay?

Speaker B

Remember the title.

Speaker B

The title is Dry Bones.

Speaker B

Hear the word of the Lord.

Speaker B

Something amazing.

Speaker B

The hand of the Lord was upon me and carried me out in The Spirit.

Speaker B

Ezekiel 37:1.

Speaker B

We're reading already.

Speaker B

And set me down in the midst of the valley which was full of bones in Ezekiel 37:3.

Speaker B

And he said unto me, son of man, can this bone live?

Speaker B

And an O Lord God, thine knowest.

Speaker B

Wow, this is very strong.

Speaker B

Ezekiel be taken from the Lord.

Speaker B

He no choice to go there, okay?

Speaker B

First of all, he take it.

Speaker B

God put him there because he have a purpose.

Speaker B

Any situation you have in your life tonight, today, God put you there.

Speaker B

And remember this.

Speaker B

We have to identify the situation when we choice have that situation or God put you in that situation, okay?

Speaker B

Because some people misunderstand.

Speaker B

Some people make a choice and they blame God.

Speaker B

No, you make that choice.

Speaker B

Don't blame God.

Speaker B

God converts your problems and purpose because they love us that much.

Speaker B

You know, when people make mistakes like I do all the time, little God say, hey, mistake.

Speaker B

I have to help you out with a mistake.

Speaker B

I have to help you out and make that problem and a purpose now.

Speaker B

And now we see Ceclial they put there.

Speaker B

And we see Sikh was taken by the spirit of the Lord into the valley full of dry bones.

Speaker B

And you can imagine, right?

Speaker B

You never walking in the cemetery.

Speaker B

What are you thinking?

Speaker B

You find in the cemetery, you think you find life.

Speaker B

No, you find bones, right?

Speaker B

Ezekiel, they walking in a place there's no signal of life.

Speaker B

But the Lord put him for a purpose.

Speaker B

They give you instructions.

Speaker B

Now those bones represent the people of Israel who have lost their faith, their purpose and their hope.

Speaker B

When you be a Christian and you lose you faith, you can't some Christian walking with the Lord for 30, 40 years.

Speaker B

And they be normal life, right?

Speaker B

It's the same when you have something in life.

Speaker B

Like when you buy a car, for example.

Speaker B

You have a car for the first two months and you're very happy with the car because it's new.

Speaker B

But later, when it passes five months, what happens?

Speaker B

Okay, we lose sometimes our faith, our hope.

Speaker B

We start feeling our bones start dry.

Speaker B

Okay, we lose our purpose and hope.

Speaker B

But God showed Ezekiel something powerful.

Speaker B

Okay?

Speaker B

God showed him something.

Speaker B

He's able to bring life where he's dead.

Speaker B

Remember, something happened in our life and we don't see no hope.

Speaker B

We say this not have solution.

Speaker B

You know, God able to bring life in that.

Speaker B

God always have solution in our life.

Speaker B

God have a purpose.

Speaker B

Look, God restored what's been lost.

Speaker B

Raised up an army where there is one only.

Speaker B

Graveshire.

Speaker B

But come to tell somebody tonight, okay?

Speaker B

God is still working walking with you and Yuvali.

Speaker B

I know it's people here tonight.

Speaker B

They have a very, very big decision maker in their life.

Speaker B

That's Jubali.

Speaker B

And remember, he not leave you alone.

Speaker B

He's with you.

Speaker B

You have to learn to talking with the Lord.

Speaker B

Remember when he always is available for talking with us.

Speaker B

Remember, the Lord love us that much.

Speaker B

They sent his son to die for us.

Speaker B

Our pastor today talking about the confidence of our salvation.

Speaker B

This morning you have to confidence in what?

Speaker B

And this.

Speaker B

Everything is in here.

Speaker B

From Genesis to apocalypses, Genesis to revelation.

Speaker B

I'm sorry.

Speaker B

God never lose a battle.

Speaker B

God always win.

Speaker B

Remember, we continue here and we see sometime somebody be walking in that valley.

Speaker B

He don't run from your brokenness.

Speaker B

God never run away from you.

Speaker B

Even when we sin.

Speaker B

People ask me, I'm sin, I lose my salvation.

Speaker B

No, you never lose your salvation.

Speaker B

You lose your show to be saved.

Speaker B

But even with that, God is with you.

Speaker B

There people ask me, I'm sin.

Speaker B

God forgive me.

Speaker B

No, he don't forgive me.

Speaker B

But it's with you.

Speaker B

You need to repent.

Speaker B

You sin and he accepted you repent and he working with you.

Speaker B

He started establishing the staff.

Speaker B

You break and look at this.

Speaker B

God walking with you in new valley.

Speaker B

And tonight we see five points.

Speaker B

This is only the introduction Once again, be ready.

Speaker B

This is number one.

Speaker B

And go short.

Speaker B

And go short.

Speaker B

Don't worry about that.

Speaker B

God brings you to the valley to reveal a reality, to wake you up.

Speaker B

Fortelio.

Speaker B

The life you think it is is not real.

Speaker B

I give you life.

Speaker B

God give you life.

Speaker B

He give you hope.

Speaker B

Sometimes we find hope in friends and other things.

Speaker B

That is not God.

Speaker B

But I tell you something, he's the only one bringing you hope.

Speaker B

Let's go to point number one.

Speaker B

And this based in Ezekiel 37:1 2.

Speaker B

Ezekiel didn't end up in the valley by accident.

Speaker B

The spirit lead him to dirt.

Speaker B

Sometimes God allow us to see dryness and not to discourage us.

Speaker B

God not leave you.

Speaker B

You make a mistake for the scourge you.

Speaker B

They wanted you learn.

Speaker B

They want to make you strong.

Speaker B

They want you walking with him.

Speaker B

They want you depending on him.

Speaker B

You know how many times I had to dependent on the Lord.

Speaker B

And sometimes I say no, I'm doing my way.

Speaker B

Your way is hard.

Speaker B

Your way is not working.

Speaker B

This a typical friend.

Speaker B

They don't have a million dollars in the bank and they want to show you to make a million dollar.

Speaker B

I have a lot of friends.

Speaker B

And I said man, okay, but the only answer is in the Lord.

Speaker B

And send nobody else.

Speaker B

And look at what we have here.

Speaker B

We say, awaken us to his power.

Speaker B

God wanted you depending on him 100%.

Speaker B

The Bible says the bones were very dry.

Speaker B

Okay, Ezekiel.

Speaker B

See bones really really dry.

Speaker B

In Ezekiel 37:2 we see that some hearts today are dry of faith.

Speaker B

When you be a Christian for that long, sometime you're thinking you deserve everything, even your own salvation.

Speaker B

You forget the other people need you love too.

Speaker B

You forget the other people need you.

Speaker B

Go outside and say, hey, I have a dry bones before I'm being like you.

Speaker B

But sometimes we be so much in our club, you know, so much inside our little place.

Speaker B

We have to go outside and tell the people how much God love you.

Speaker B

We have to go outside and tell the people we be in that place.

Speaker B

We be in that valley.

Speaker B

All of us be in the dry bones valley.

Speaker B

You know why?

Speaker B

When you accept in the Lord and you be saved, you be rescued.

Speaker B

And he rescued from that dry bones body.

Speaker B

And he bring you to him.

Speaker B

When you accepting the Lord.

Speaker B

Today is the revival time.

Speaker B

I want you remember the time in America they come in wars.

Speaker B

Your hope not have to be in a man.

Speaker B

Jehovah has to be in here.

Speaker B

This is the hope we needed.

Speaker B

This is the torch we have to carry for the next generation.

Speaker B

And look at what we see right now.

Speaker B

The Bible says they bury dry bones and the heart be dry of faith, dry of love, dry of passion of the Lord.

Speaker B

All of you have passion for the Lord tonight, and I know it.

Speaker B

All my brothers in Christ, because you read the Bible, nobody say, oh, it's already 14 chapters.

Speaker B

You can't believe it.

Speaker B

One pastor just coming back with your hand.

Speaker B

Not leaving him preaching no more because he may get working.

Speaker B

He put us working.

Speaker B

We read 14 passages.

Speaker B

Oh, my.

Speaker B

14 verse.

Speaker B

You know, this is you supposed to do normal.

Speaker B

You know that, right?

Speaker B

It's our job.

Speaker B

Look at the only one reading the Bible.

Speaker B

He said, man, good job, Brother Bago.

Speaker B

Amazing.

Speaker B

Look at this.

Speaker B

This is our job.

Speaker B

Preach the gospel.

Speaker B

But what gospel?

Speaker B

This gospel.

Speaker B

Know our gospel.

Speaker B

Speaker B

People say, oh, you say, I know I'm not nice.

Speaker B

I'm being rescued.

Speaker B

God make you nice.

Speaker B

God rescue from the valley of the dry bones.

Speaker B

Don't forget where you coming from.

Speaker B

Because when we be too long, be safe.

Speaker B

We forget where we coming from.

Speaker B

We forget, we rescue.

Speaker B

We think we better than nobody.

Speaker B

No, we know we were rescued.

Speaker B

You know, in this economy and this problem, what the people say, that's a big problem in America.

Speaker B

Just fly outside America and you see what a really big problem.

Speaker B

But I'll tell you something.

Speaker B

Even in the valley of dry bones, he walking with you.

Speaker B

It's no problem bigger than you got.

Speaker B

Sorry for the people thinking my problem is so big.

Speaker B

No, your problem is not big.

Speaker B

Your God is bigger.

Speaker B

Remember this.

Speaker B

Today you fear because you want to hear the word of the Lord.

Speaker B

And listen this.

Speaker B

God never show you the valley to leave you there, okay?

Speaker B

He never showed you the valley for leave Ezekiel there.

Speaker B

He show for kind of speak life into it for tell Ezekiel, hey, look at what I'm able to do, okay?

Speaker B

God put you in the situation because they know how much he able to do it for you.

Speaker B

He move you.

Speaker B

He make you.

Speaker B

You do stuff you don't want to do because that's his purpose.

Speaker B

And some people don't understand that.

Speaker B

Some people say, ah, so hard working for the Lord.

Speaker B

It's a lie.

Speaker B

And be blessed all the time to the time I decide to follow the Lord and be blessed.

Speaker B

Even I'm so blessed.

Speaker B

Then Friday night, I'm taking my son to the gym.

Speaker B

My wife said, stop in the Mexican store and buy four avocados.

Speaker B

When I go there, a lady say, pastor.

Speaker B

And I'm not remembering even the lady.

Speaker B

They say, pastor Carlos, you remember me?

Speaker B

I say, yeah.

Speaker B

But later I remember her.

Speaker B

And you know what she telling me?

Speaker B

I'm paid for your avocado.

Speaker B

I said, no, you don't have to do that.

Speaker B

You don't have to.

Speaker B

She said, no, you've stolen my blessings.

Speaker B

And I say, you're right.

Speaker B

It's what I'm teaching people.

Speaker B

When I want to do something for somebody and they tell me, no, I say, you've stolen my blessing.

Speaker B

We have to see the blessing in the little things.

Speaker B

For God put you in the big games, okay?

Speaker B

See your blessings.

Speaker B

No blessing is small, no blessing is little.

Speaker B

No stuff happening in your life.

Speaker B

It's your purpose.

Speaker B

It's God's purpose.

Speaker B

When you put the best.

Speaker B

When you open your heart for the Lord and when you're ready, you say, hey, God, I'm here.

Speaker B

I'm serving you.

Speaker B

He used you.

Speaker B

He don't use you with bad attitude.

Speaker B

Oh, I don't want to be here.

Speaker B

God put you when he need you.

Speaker B

No Put you where you want to be.

Speaker B

Nobody want to go in the dry bones Bali.

Speaker B

But God put you there because they need you there.

Speaker B

They need you to speak life in there.

Speaker B

Sometimes God put you with friends you don't want to be.

Speaker B

But he's there.

Speaker B

He put you for a reason.

Speaker B

Remember, tonight, God talk to you.

Speaker B

I always tell people, you feeling in comfort when I'm preaching.

Speaker B

Good.

Speaker B

Because that message is for you.

Speaker B

I don't say for you.

Speaker B

Just okay.

Speaker B

Nothing can say.

Speaker B

Oh, the pastor offended me.

Speaker B

Now some of us, we pray, lord, take me out of this valley.

Speaker B

And God say, no, I'm not take you out now.

Speaker B

I brought you here so that you through you can bring revival in this valley.

Speaker B

God put you in very uncomfortable places.

Speaker B

Very uncomfortable situation because his power is over.

Speaker B

You know your power, the Lord power, He opened doors that nobody able to open.

Speaker B

I tell you right now.

Speaker B

I tell you God put you in places that you can imagine.

Speaker B

God changed your name from you be a slave for the daughter of the Son of the King.

Speaker B

Remember, we don't serve a God of casualty.

Speaker B

We serve a God of purpose.

Speaker B

Remember all the power God given to you.

Speaker B

You know, you have the power for the eternal life.

Speaker B

And here isn't you preach the gospel or isn't you be quiet.

Speaker B

That's the reason the exercise today.

Speaker B

I love everybody reading.

Speaker B

Enough of you say no.

Speaker B

Maybe his Spanish or he not reading.

Speaker B

My wife is a winner.

Speaker B

I'm practicing like 20 times this and I say, my wife, you understand?

Speaker B

And my wife says, yeah, you read it 20 times already.

Speaker B

I want to make sure when I read the word of God a little better.

Speaker B

Understand?

Speaker B

Because the Bible say Nobody able to change nothing up here.

Speaker B

You know, that's the reason I tell everybody, hey, make sure you check in your Bible.

Speaker B

Even in the Spanish minister, right, Sylvia?

Speaker B

I tell everybody, check your bible, right?

Speaker B

Eduardo can say check your Bible, but I say in Spanish, chequea to biblia.

Speaker B

Okay?

Speaker B

That's what they say.

Speaker B

Let's go to point number two.

Speaker B

All right.

Speaker B

God's question of faith.

Speaker B

Ezekiel 37:3, Son of man, can these bones live?

Speaker B

Amazing.

Speaker B

God was asking because he didn't know the answer.

Speaker B

God knows the answer.

Speaker B

He tested the prophet faith.

Speaker B

He wanted to make sure when you pray, you know, pray.

Speaker B

Oh, heavenly Father, I know you're not able to do this, but you able to do it for me.

Speaker B

No, you make sure God able to do it for you, because he do it.

Speaker B

The Bible says he's the creator of the whole universe.

Speaker B

The Bible says God with his hands pick up the whole universe.

Speaker B

Imagine that how many heroes you know that even marvel know able to create superheroes like that.

Speaker B

But what God do it?

Speaker B

The big guy with one hand, the whole universe.

Speaker B

Remember this when you know when what you can still say Lord, you know, But I believe you can do it as you pray.

Speaker B

You have to do.

Speaker B

I don't know what I do it.

Speaker B

It's this time of my life that really.

Speaker B

I don't know what I'm doing.

Speaker B

I remember my wife telling me everything is fine when Rachel had a problem, my daughter and the cancer thing.

Speaker B

And.

Speaker B

And I always say, oh yeah, everything is fine.

Speaker B

But 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 B

And I'm not a strong man.

Speaker B

Just remember, all of you have somebody to call and tell, hey, pray for me, right, Mark, we pray.

Speaker B

We called.

Speaker B

I say, man, I can do nothing.

Speaker B

I can make decisions, man.

Speaker B

I can tell my wife, I don't know.

Speaker B

Just remember this.

Speaker B

We serve an amazing God.

Speaker B

And I want to.

Speaker B

I want to say, oh, this is coming emotional.

Speaker B

It's not emotional.

Speaker B

It's the Holy Spirit, man.

Speaker B

Remember, the spirit of the Lord is here tonight.

Speaker B

You can feel it.

Speaker B

You can feel all of you, the love.

Speaker B

You pray for me.

Speaker B

I guarantee you as people pray for me, how much love of the family of Christ, you know?

Speaker B

And look at this now.

Speaker B

Your situation might look impossible, but God always has the final word.

Speaker B

Let's go to Luke 1:37.

Speaker B

And before that, I want you to remember something.

Speaker B

Second Timothy 3:16.

Speaker B

They say all scripture is inspired for who by God Good.

Speaker B

Okay.

Speaker B

All scripture, Old Testament and a New Testament.

Speaker B

Let's go to Luke 1:37.

Speaker B

For with God, nothing shall be.

Speaker B

What?

Speaker B

Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Speaker B

How many believe really we serve in God from the impossible.

Speaker B

All right.

Speaker B

How many?

Speaker B

Let's go and repeat again.

Speaker B

Remember, you ask for the Lord Almighty for the creator of the universe.

Speaker B

Something impossible in your life tonight.

Speaker B

For with God, nothing shall be.

Speaker B

What great impossible.

Speaker B

You know, pray for the impossible to be possible.

Speaker B

The only our God.

Speaker B

They make for the stuff for the man impossible.

Speaker B

God make you possible because we serve a powerful God.

Speaker B

His power is indescribable.

Speaker B

From Genesis to Revelation.

Speaker B

He never lose a bottom.

Speaker B

And what God is amazing.

Speaker B

He showed the love.

Speaker B

He loved you that much.

Speaker B

And look at this.

Speaker B

We continue that your situation may be look impossible.

Speaker B

But God had the final word.

Speaker B

And everything you ask for him is his will.

Speaker B

They give it to you.

Speaker B

I guarantee you.

Speaker B

I know people that God answered their prayers knowing the time they wanted.

Speaker B

But when God wanted you pray for something.

Speaker B

Maybe today he answered to you.

Speaker B

Maybe in a couple years.

Speaker B

Or maybe he answered to you now.

Speaker B

I'm not God.

Speaker B

God know their time.

Speaker B

And we continue.

Speaker B

And point number three.

Speaker B

All right.

Speaker B

Prophesy the word of the Lord, verse four and six, Ezekiel 37.

Speaker B

Four and six.

Speaker B

Prophesy to these bones and say unto them, o ye dry bones.

Speaker B

Hear the word of the Lord.

Speaker B

Hear the secret.

Speaker B

The power is not from the prophet.

Speaker B

It's from the word of God.

Speaker B

You have the power in your hands.

Speaker B

The power of peace, the power of wisdom.

Speaker B

The power of your future is right here.

Speaker B

All generations have to know younger old people like me.

Speaker B

You know, younger people, baby people.

Speaker B

All of you have to know you be the next carry this torch.

Speaker B

That's the reason our investment in the young people has to be with the fire, with emotion.

Speaker B

Speaker B

You, all of us have 206 bones.

Speaker B

One of your bones maybe be a little bit dry because you may be a little bit off from the word of God when nobody see you.

Speaker B

You know what I'm saying?

Speaker B

That happened for everybody.

Speaker B

But tonight, God tell you, hey, I'm able to reestablish that bone, that dry bone.

Speaker B

Very dry bone.

Speaker B

Remember, we're talking about very dry bones, not dry.

Speaker B

That's the reason we say, hey, in the churches is not revival, but the pastor preaching amazing preachers preaching amazing preachers preaching amazing sermons.

Speaker B

You know what?

Speaker B

It's because we have a dry bones.

Speaker B

We have to detect it tonight what kind of dry bones you have.

Speaker B

You see it?

Speaker B

It's quiet now.

Speaker B

All of us have bones.

Speaker B

Nobody able to say, oh, I don't have bones.

Speaker B

Oh, I'm perfect.

Speaker B

Oh, you have bones.

Speaker B

They know, you know, you don't have body.

Speaker B

You don't have bones.

Speaker B

Right?

Speaker B

Everybody have bones.

Speaker B

One of your bones is dry.

Speaker B

Oh, no.

Speaker B

Yes, they do.

Speaker B

Remember this.

Speaker B

When we not use this, we start dry inside.

Speaker B

When you not be intimate with him, we start dry.

Speaker B

You know, our spiritual bones dry.

Speaker B

And we don't have no feelings because there's dead people outside.

Speaker B

Who are these people?

Speaker B

Dead people, Dead people.

Speaker B

They don't know God.

Speaker B

They're dead.

Speaker B

And sometimes in churches, we still have mercy for people.

Speaker B

Just wake up and present the gospel.

Speaker B

Wake up and reestablish the relation with the Lord.

Speaker B

Take it serious with God.

Speaker B

Look at this.

Speaker B

We're almost done.

Speaker B

We're able to lift up our hand and say, holy Spirit, breathe on my heart, breathe on my family, breathe on my church.

Speaker B

It's the prayer you have to do, you know, you have to pray.

Speaker B

That very serious, very compromised.

Speaker B

Not only for your need, they need for other people's need.

Speaker B

He asked for the Holy Spirit.

Speaker B

Breathe life in the people's heart.

Speaker B

It's the people in our church.

Speaker B

They have a lot of sadness.

Speaker B

We have to pray for them.

Speaker B

It's a people in our family, you know, this dead, alive.

Speaker B

They don't know about the love of Christ.

Speaker B

Because we want to be the cool Christian.

Speaker B

We don't want to confront people.

Speaker B

Oh, I don't say no because the people be offended.

Speaker B

All our imperfections, we're not perfect.

Speaker B

Just confront.

Speaker B

People say, hey, you know, Jesus loves you.

Speaker B

The life you take is not the right we got.

Speaker B

He don't like it.

Speaker B

Even as your Christian friend for 30 years, you prefer your friend go to hell.

Speaker B

You prefer your hand lose their relation with the Lord.

Speaker B

Because a lot of people in churches do.

Speaker B

They think and they say they know, sorry.

Speaker B

I say, sorry for you feeling good.

Speaker B

But I really feel sorry because I have to preach the gospel, you know, look at this, breathe in this generation, this younger generation has to breathe the word of the Lord.

Speaker B

And thank you for the adults we have here, for the wise guys we have.

Speaker B

Thank you.

Speaker B

Because you guys amazing.

Speaker B

I tell you, you guys testimony all the time.

Speaker B

Speaker B

People say, why are we so excited for the Lord?

Speaker B

Because I have people investment in me.

Investment in somebody.

Speaker B

You know, the first time I'll be Christian, I'm being around crazy people, man.

Speaker B

That people love the Lord.

Speaker B

They crazy speaking.

Speaker B

They say, man, you know what?

Speaker B

When I die, I go to heaven.

Speaker B

I said, this guy is crazy.

Speaker B

They don't understand why they local.

Speaker B

They're local, right?

Speaker B

Because they be exposed to the love of the Lord.

Speaker B

When you be exposed to the love, you can complain, you'll be so grateful, you know?

Speaker B

And the last point, everybody say, yeah, last point.

Speaker B

We almost there, guys.

Speaker B

Speaker B

Speaker B

God promised restoration.

Speaker B

That's the amazing promise of the Lord.

Speaker B

Speaker B

God told Ezekiel, this one are the whole house of Israel.

Speaker B

They say our bones are dry and our hope is lost.

Speaker B

But God declared, behold, we open you graves and cause you coming up.

Speaker B

And we put my spirit in you.

Speaker B

And you ye live the life coming from who?

Speaker B

Don't worry, that is in control.

Speaker B

Don't worry.

Speaker B

Your dry bone start healing now.

Speaker B

You start feeling hitches now inside, no scratchy.

Speaker B

Because everybody know you have a dry bone, right?

Speaker B

Oh, my spiritual dry bone is hard.

Speaker B

That's the reason.

Speaker B

That's one of the symptoms.

Speaker B

When you hear amazing preaching like Pastor Josh do in the mornings.

Speaker B

You say, I can go home, it's fine.

Speaker B

Oh, I go home.

Speaker B

What did I need it today?

Speaker B

No, you have to thinking what purpose I have in my life.

Speaker B

Before you leave in here, you have to tell God put somebody that in here you work.

Speaker B

Put somebody, they have dry bones.

Speaker B

It's what you pray, have to be.

Speaker B

You pray, have to be.

Speaker B

The Lord use you when you be saved, God sends you, you know, go some people be the senkoras because they go to the places they decide to go.

Speaker B

They don't go to the places God put him to go.

Speaker B

Ezekiel, he don't decide to go there.

Speaker B

Who decided to go to the cemetery?

Speaker B

Oh, let's go to the cemetery, have a baby.

Speaker B

Yeah, Nobody want to do it.

Speaker B

Ezekiel never do it.

Speaker B

What did the Bible say?

Speaker B

God told him there, right?

Speaker B

They say, hey.

Speaker B

He put him there and say, hey, look it.

Speaker B

Or somebody wanted a cemetery, just let me know.

Speaker B

Speaker B

It's no purpose.

Speaker B

They have a great purpose in your life.

Speaker B

But he put you in the places.

Speaker B

Do you preach the gospel?

Speaker B

Do you tell people how much God love them?

Speaker B

Do they tell people, hey, God not forgive you?

Speaker B

You know, some people outside, they're thinking, nobody love them.

Speaker B

Because we have to remind people how much God doing for us.

Speaker B

And we continue now.

Speaker B

Praise the Lord.

Speaker B

God opens spirit on the graves.

Speaker B

God bring people from the dead.

Speaker B

Speaker B

Because God have a purpose.

Speaker B

He reestablished your ministry.

Speaker B

He put his hand in there and bring people.

Speaker B

They need you with the right moment and with the words of God there in the moment.

Speaker B

Remember God never forget and always be with you.

Speaker B

Breathing the new life into the heart that give up hope.

Speaker B

Because when God speak, graves are thrown in the garden.

Speaker B

Everything God touched, they converted life beautiful.
