Word of the Day
Beloved arise and dance among your dry bones with a heart of worship, for I am good and My love endures forever. Dance and see the framework come together. Dance! See sinew and muscle come upon the bones. Receive the ability to move. Receive the ability to live and move…to have your being in Me. Receive and dance!
See the skin of My presence cover and protect everything within you as it allows you to sense all that is of Me…allows you to be sensitive to My every touch…allows you to be sensitive to every breath exhaled from My mouth (Ezekiel 37:6-10).
Time has come to dance. Therefore My child you must indeed dance. Dance in your heart. Dance in the natural even if it is only to tap your feet. Do something for I am here on the four winds breathing upon your slain dreams. Yes, I am here declaring life. I am uttering My voice and saying, “LIVE!” Dance unto the breath of heaven now blowing across the surface and the recesses of your life. My breath penetrates to the deepest places. Therefore be assured no place within you shall be left untouched by Me.
Let the words of your mouth be life and not death and you will not grow weary. You will indeed reap in due season (Proverbs 18:21; Hebrews 12:3). You will be lifted up to soar with freedom above all doubt and unbelief. You will mount up with eagle’s wings, to ride the currents of heaven, in the power of My Spirit (Isaiah 40:31). Mourning will be turned to dancing (Psalms 30:11). Dancing turns the valley of bones into a watered garden and will envelope you with a garland of beauty instead of ashes.
Many are awaiting your transformation. Many dry bones are waiting for you…yes; you Therefore, come and arise! Let worship, proclamation, and praise create a new song in your heart. Stand up on your feet My mighty warrior and dance the dance of Victory, for I have clothed you with gladness (Psalms 30:11). Arise mighty army and live in every area of your life…for you have been called to do great things.
And I will lay sinews upon you and bring up flesh upon you and cover you with skin, and I will put breath and spirit in you, and you [dry bones] shall live; and you shall know, understand, and realize that I am the Lord [the Sovereign Ruler, Who calls forth loyalty and obedient service]. So I prophesied as I was commanded; and as I prophesied, there was a [thundering] noise and behold, a shaking and trembling and a rattling, and the bones came together, bone to its bone.
And I looked and behold, there were sinews upon [the bones] and flesh came upon them and skin covered them over, but there was no breath or spirit in them. Then said He to me, Prophesy to the breath and spirit, son of man, and say to the breath and spirit, Thus says the Lord God: Come from the four winds, O breath and spirit, and breathe upon these slain that they may live.
So I prophesied as He commanded me, and the breath and spirit came into [the bones], and they lived and stood up upon their feet, an exceedingly great host” (Ezekiel 37:6-10 NIV)
Prayer
Lord, as I choose to worship “even in the tough times” I am asking You to create in me a clean heart and a steadfast spirit. I choose to arise and worship You with a heart of faith believing all is well in You regardless of what I see or feel. I receive the ability to move…the ability to dance. The framework of my life is being built line upon line, tissue upon tissue and muscle upon muscle.
Every fiber of my being is coming into alignment with Your Word. I declare that I am becoming more responsive to You moment by moment. I dance in my heart. I dance with my feet. I will dance regardless of what I see, feel or think. I am moving in motion to the beating of Your heart…to the inhaling and exhaling of Your very breath. I am in sync with You. Life and not death are the song of my heart and form words in my mouth that are filled with truth and faith. I speak and I hear the Word and faith responds with a jubilant heart. Faith comes in response to my agreement with You through the spoken Word.
I mount up with the wings of an eagle and I soar to the heights of promise. Any graveyards of dry bones in my life are even this moment being resurrected to bring forth a living future and hope. I arise and I worship. I arise and I proclaim. I arise and dance the dance of victory on this side of the Red Sea. Since You are for me, who can be against me…no one. I arise to do great things for great things He hath done for me. Amen
Reflect and Journal
- What words of death have you spoken? Break agreement with them and speak life in their place.
- His presence is in some ways like the skin covering your tissue and muscle and yet it is like an energizing force inside. Like your nerves, His presence causes you to sense even the slightest touch. It is the breath of life that speaks to you…the strength building power that develops your muscles as you declare the Word. His presence makes you dance and brings joy to your heart. Reflect on this and journal the thoughts your heart longs to sing.
- What mourning do you need to have turned to dancing or what good things do you need to sing a song of adoration and thanksgiving in response to? Never let it be just about overcoming but let a grateful heart of thanksgiving continually sing songs and dance dances of praise.
- Worship; write out some proclamations according all He has shown you. Speak them and dance on this side of the Red Sea…dance all the way across and then dance again on the other side for He is worthy regardless of where you are in the process.
