Times Of Drought

Ezekiel 37:1-14

1. The Condition Of Our Land (Ezekiel 37:1-3,11)
   Revival starts in each believer's heart.
   1. We Are Dried Up
   2. We Have Abandoned Hope
   3. We have cut ourselves off from our only source of Relief
2. God's Promise To Recondition (Ezekiel 37:4-10)
   1. Bringing Our Dry Bones Together (Unity)
   2. Pouring out His Spirit {(Anointing) Acts 2:17-21}
      1. To lead us
      2. To Anoint Us
         1. God's anointing melts the hearts of stone
         2. The breath of life is breathed from the four winds of heaven (cf. Jer 49:36), a symbol of the universal life-giving Spirit of God (v. 14).
         3. "The wind was an emblem of the Spirit of God, and represented his quickening powers."
      3. To equip and empower us (Acts 1:8)
   3. Gives us an undying hope (Jeremiah 1:5, 29:11)
      1. for the present
      2. for the future
3. Preparing For Rain (Ezekiel 37:12-14, Deuteronomy 30:15-19)
   1. God's presence changes history
      1. brings unity
      2. brings anointing and power
      3. brings hope and a future
   2. Ultimately it is a choice

This spiritual drought will end IF you let the Saviour in
