Tired on the inside ...



I am encountering so much tiredness as I talk to friends in the ministry as I move around, that I am certain that we are poised exactly where the ‘house of Israel’ was Ezekiel 37.  When the angel interprets the vision to Ezekiel he says that the bones are representative of God’s people.  In verse 11;  "Son of man, these bones represent the people of Israel. They are saying, 'We have become old, dry bones—all hope is gone.’”

 

I love the next verse most and recognize it as the strategy to conquer, the kind of fatigue that targets warriors and it lets you know that the ‘breath’ is gone.  The Holy Spirit strategy; v 12  Therefore prophesy …

 

Wounded heart, hear the Word of the Lord.  Tired soul, hear the Word of the Lord.  You, who were once, pulsing with life but now are so bogged down with ministry challenges, hear the Word of the Lord.  God is able to make breath enter you once more, He did not make a mistake when He called your name.  He chose you and loves you, Therefore prophesy  His plan for you is for good and not for disaster.

 

7 days to go and we have prayed for the same amount of time that Nehemiah took to rebuild the wall in Jerusalem.  We are rebuilding an invisible wall that defines our cities in the spirit realm as ‘belonging to God’.  Just sit back, take the 10 minute prayer for 2012 in hand or on screen, and prophesy as you have been commanded.  Breathe deep and stand tall as a chosen heir of the Kingdom, announcing decrees in His name and then wait patiently for Him, He is faithful who promised.
