hello everyone what a blessing it is to be here with you today I'm sister Lara
tonight I'd like to take a look at the subject of prophecy
and as we do we're gonna look into the foundational
scriptures from the book Ezekiel
chapter thirty-seven as we follow along
in the reading we're gonna find out the definition of prophecy
I mean why do we prophesy what what's behind it what's the purpose
prophecy and then we want to take a look at how prophecy
takes formation and then the last part is
what I love the most it's almost like did the icing on the cake
it describes to us
in to the earth so let's go ahead and get started
amen first thing we want to do is open our Bibles up to the book Ezekiel
chapter thirty-seven and we want to look at verse four
in here we see that God told the prophet
to prophecy to the bones and say unto to the bones oh you dry bones
hear the word of the Lord
amen prophecy if your are taking notes what is it prophecy
is preparing Jesus
to be made known that's powerful
prophecy is preparing jesus
to be made known in the realm of the Spirit to make
entrance into your situation that's powerful
let me say that again prophecy is preparing jesus
to be made known so that he can make
entrance in to your situation
it could be to you personally it could be
in your work situation it could be to those
in your city and it could very well be to your nation
but that's what prophecy does it prepares
the entrance of Christ
to be made known now to the right we have a little definition from the Strongs
concordance
we see the attributes to what is taking place a bubbling up to speak words
to cause God's breath to enter in your situation
but again prophecy overall prepares Jesus to be made known
and that's what's so powerful let's take a look at let's move on
now as we begin to prophesy
and as we begin to prepare Jesus to be made known there's something called
a formation of prophecy and we want to see how Jesus
is formed in the realm of the Spirit
so that we can learn
how to prophesy more maturely
so that we can see how
these bones begin to take form very divine
image of Christ and this is powerful
nine different things are going to take a look at amen
but first let's read the scriptures from Ezekiel chapter thirty-seven
4 through 12 and he said unto me prophesy into these bones and say unto to
them
or you dry bones hear you
the word of the Lord thus saith the LORD God unto these bones
behold I will cause breath
to enter into you, and you shall live
now here we're going to begin to see formation and I'm gonna break it down
okay
I will lay sinews upon
I'll bring you up
I'll bring flesh upon I'll cover you
with skin I will put breath in you
and you shall live shall know that I am the Lord
so I prophesied as I commanded as I prophesied there was a noise
and behold there was a shaking
and the bones came together
look at this bone
his bone this is very important
the end result is that we want
to to create
the entrance of Christ
to come into a situation
and as the prophet was prophesying here
it is bone of his bone the image of Christ
is being formed in the realm of the Spirit
bone of his bone so we have something to connect to
we see that prophecy
creates a situation
to be knitted together into the very person of Christ
oh hallelujah, this is good teaching I know
let's continue to read and when I be held low the sinews of the flesh came up
the skin covered them above
and there was no breath in them then he said to me prophesy into the wind
prophesy son a man and say to the wind
thus saith the LORD God come from the four winds
oh breathe, breathe upon the slain that you may live
now you see that
formation
was taking place
Jesus is being prepared to make divine
entrance into a situation he is our
aide to build upon in the spirit when we prophesy
but I want you to notice that he also said to prophesy to the wind
now if you haven't got my teachings on the winds of God I encourage you to
do that
wind causes Jesus to be made manifest
prophecy causes Jesus to prepare to make
entrance see the difference
come from the four winds in breathe breathe upon the slain so that they might
live so I prophesied
as he commanded me and the breath came into them in a lived
they stood upon their feet with a great army
and then he said son of man these bones are the whole house
Israel behold they say our bones
are dry because our hope
is lost
so whole is the reason
why we prophesy hope is what motivates us to prophesy
hope is what causes us to build
in the realm of the Spirit through our words the framework
the divine image of Christ hope
is what causes us to prophesy so that Jesus could make
entrance into our situation
this is very important because
prophecy is birthed
out of hope hallelujah
there's a lot I could say about that hope caused
the bones to come upon them
hope calls the sinews the flesh to come upon the bones I should say
hope is what caused them to rise hope is what caused them to be a great
exceedingly
army hope is what caused them to take form
hope is all the things are the above
that happened now that's true that's true prophecy
but let's continue take a little more look,
therefore prophesy
and say unto them thus saith the Lord behold my people I will open your graves
I will cause you to come up out of your graves see hope
gives resurrected the power to the bones
and I'll bring you into the land of israel and you shall know that I am the
Lord
when I open your graves oh my people
when I have brought you up out of your graves and you shall put my spirit in
you
and you shall live and I will place you in your own land
then you shall know the Lord I have spoken it
and I have performed it amen. let's take a closer look
hallelujah
the formation of prophecy the dry bones
prophesy hear the word of the Lord
we have to know that wherever we see no strength
we are called the prophesy
because where there's no strength there is no hope
look around, look around in your life today
where there's no strength there's no hope and where there's no hope
you are called to prophesy
it means the idea to be overtaken where do you see in the earth today
where there is no hope
in its overtaken with despair we have to begin to prepare to notice these things
so that we can prepare the entrance of Christ
through the spirit of prophecy hallelujah
and he said unto me prophecy to these bones hear
the word of the Lord hear means it's a judicial case
actually the type word that you talk about in a court of law
it also means to summon
when you begin a prophesy you begin to say here the word of the Lord you are
literally summon them to come into the courts
a justice of the kingdom of God
you see when we prophesy were upholding the kingdom because we are
we are beginning to make entrance for Christ
to be manifested for the divine exchange of Christ to be made known
so we are preparing to to speak
with the authority that it will be a judicial case
to uphold the government of the Kingdom
so you speak to that situation hear
the word of the Lord powerful
the court of laws, the court of the government comes into play so the
kingdom
thus saith the LORD God unto these bones behold I will cause breath to
enter into you the Kingdom
overrides the laws of the earth
Kingdom overrides the laws of the land so whatever we prophesy to
we are upholding the judicial right at the kingdom of God
we as sons and daughters are upholding the judicial right of the kingdom of God
for this situation to prepare
to have Jesus made manifest
why? because there's no hope but we're bringing it into the court of the law
the judicial system of the kingdom Ezekiel 37 6
say I will lay sinews upon you I'll bring flesh
upon you I'll cover you I will put breath upon you and you shall live this word prophecy
also causes you do go beyond your boundaries
see these bones
begin to take formation
because they begin to go beyond their
own boundaries prophecy creates
Christ to be ushered into a situation
so that you can go beyond your boundaries see that's why we need
the spirit of prophecy in the earth this is why we need to know the formation of
prophecy
when we prophesy to something you not only cause it to come alive
in the court so the judicial systems are the kingdom
but you cause that situation to go beyond their boundaries
in other words the laws of the Kingdom of Heaven
transcend the laws of the kingdom of the earth
they are automatically at jurisdiction operating in it different law
in a different court system and that's called the law of the kingdom
so I prophesied
and there was a noise
see prophecy
causes a noise it causes
a sound it causes a shaking
it causes the bones of his bones to come together
it means look at this it means to shake
in order to leap over I love that
the laws of the kingdom
the jurisdiction laws of God, the laws of the kingdom of heaven
transcend the laws the laws of the kingdom of the earth and you are holding the Kingdom of Heaven
so that they can go over their boundaries
what they are limited in through their earthly
realms through the laws of the earth
in over the world so that they can leap over
so that they can transcend in other words
there's a transference from the kingdom
into the earth see whatever is not birthed of the kingdom
will not be birthed in the earth and that's what we're here to do we're here to go
into the jurisdiction of the courts of the law of the kingdom
to say that whatever is not birthed in the kingdom first
cannot be birthed in the earth so what is
how do we do that we begin to prophesy
Ezekiel 37 verse 9 Thus sayeth the Lord God come
oh four winds breathe upon the slain
and the four winds oh God of course is the glory of God.
prophecy prepares the entrance of the kingdom of the nature of Christ to
be revealed
but wind causes
Jesus to be made manifest
now, that is all of this part 1 teaching
of the spirit of prophecy from the book of Ezekiel
37 we will pick up with a lesson two
but I pray that this time together has been a blessing for you today
in Jesus name amen
