Ezekiel Chapter 37

The Valley of Dry Bones

The hand of the Lord was upon me, and carried me out in the spirit of the Lord, and set me down in the midst of the valley which was full of bones,

And caused me to pass by them round about: and, behold, there were very many in the open valley; and, lo, they were very dry.

And he said unto me, Son of man, can these bones live? And I answered, O Lord God, thou knowest.

Again he said unto me, Prophesy upon these bones, and say unto them, O ye dry bones, hear the word of the Lord.

Thus saith the Lord God unto these bones; Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, and ye shall live:

And I will lay sinews upon you, and will bring up flesh upon you, and cover you with skin, and put breath in you, and ye shall live; and ye shall know that I am the Lord.

So I prophesied as I was commanded: and as I prophesied, there was a noise, and behold a shaking, and the bones came together, bone to his bone.

And when I beheld, lo, the sinews and the flesh came up upon them, and the skin covered them above: but there was no breath in them.

Then said he unto me, Prophesy unto the wind, prophesy, son of man, and say to the wind, Thus saith the Lord God; Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe upon these slain, that they may live.

10 So I prophesied as he commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they lived, and stood up upon their feet, an exceeding great army.

11 Then he said unto me, Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel: behold, they say, Our bones are dried, and our hope is lost: we are cut off for our parts.

12 Therefore prophesy and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, O my people, I will open your graves, and cause you to come up out of your graves, and bring you into the land of Israel.

13 And ye shall know that I am the Lord, when I have opened your graves, O my people, and brought you up out of your graves,

14 And shall put my spirit in you, and ye shall live, and I shall place you in your own land: then shall ye know that I the Lord have spoken it, and performed it, saith the Lord.

15 The word of the Lord came again unto me, saying,

16 Moreover, thou son of man, take thee one stick, and write upon it, For Judah, and for the children of Israel his companions: then take another stick, and write upon it, For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim and for all the house of Israel his companions:

17 And join them one to another into one stick; and they shall become one in thine hand.

18 And when the children of thy people shall speak unto thee, saying, Wilt thou not shew us what thou meanest by these?

19 Say unto them, Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I will take the stick of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel his fellows, and will put them with him, even with the stick of Judah, and make them one stick, and they shall be one in mine hand.

20 And the sticks whereon thou writest shall be in thine hand before their eyes.

21 And say unto them, Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I will take the children of Israel from among the heathen, whither they be gone, and will gather them on every side, and bring them into their own land:

22 And I will make them one nation in the land upon the mountains of Israel; and one king shall be king to them all: and they shall be no more two nations, neither shall they be divided into two kingdoms any more at all.

23 Neither shall they defile themselves any more with their idols, nor with their detestable things, nor with any of their transgressions: but I will save them out of all their dwellingplaces, wherein they have sinned, and will cleanse them: so shall they be my people, and I will be their God.

24 And David my servant shall be king over them; and they all shall have one shepherd: they shall also walk in my judgments, and observe my statutes, and do them.

25 And they shall dwell in the land that I have given unto Jacob my servant, wherein your fathers have dwelt; and they shall dwell therein, even they, and their children, and their children’s children for ever: and my servant David shall be their prince for ever.

26 Moreover I will make a covenant of peace with them; it shall be an everlasting covenant with them: and I will place them, and multiply them, and will set my sanctuary in the midst of them for evermore.

27 My tabernacle also shall be with them: yea, I will be their God, and they shall be my people.

28 And the heathen shall know that I the Lord do sanctify Israel, when my sanctuary shall be in the midst of them for evermore.

Gratitude/Thankfulness

In everything be thankful! Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:6-7 KJV

Rejoice evermore. Pray without ceasing. In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. 1 Thess. 5:16-18

O give thanks unto the Lord; for he is good;
for his mercy endureth for ever.1 Chron. 16:34

But I will sacrifice unto thee with the voice of thanksgiving; I will pay that that I have vowed. Salvation is of the Lord. Jonah 2:9

And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me. Luke 22:19

For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things: to whom be glory for ever. Amen. Romans 11:36

Deuteronomy 30-Jeremiah 50-Romans 12

Obeying the word of the Most High Power (God) and His Son the Messiah (Jesus) is a necessity for believers of the entire Bible. Life can be as simple as we make it because if we keep the commandments as our Creator has said through His Prophets, He will turn our captivity. Instead of being cursed, we will be blessed in all the works of our hands if we (Israel) will love righteousness and live the way that God has commanded. It is wise to choose life over death and good over evil! The Creator considers disobedience unlawful and evil, by obeying our Father in keeping laws, statutes and commandments we can bring blessing over the lives of ourselves and our children. Many of us are attached to the land of our captivity, our oppressors and their idols. We are told in the Bible not to be of the world but to just be in it….there is a difference, we have gotten attached and have adapted to the evils of this world. Mentally removing ourselves from “Babylon” and it’s “Daughter” can save our souls. Being separate/set apart (Holy) is what we were told and taught to achieve in order to represent our Power. In accomplishing being set apart is how we will be delivered and live “forever” in Heaven, which will be on earth (as it is in Heaven). God and His Son is perfect and we are supposed to run this race seeking to be perfect also. There is nothing you do that is not known and there is nothing you can do for Him to not love you! The Father will eventually destroy Babylon (the new Egypt) and if you are attached to it you will be destroyed also. Your sins can be pardoned and you can be delivered if you receive the truth, repent and separate from iniquity and idols. Renew your mind, be sober, have faith, hate evil, love your Brothers, do good, believe, have hope and patience. Create and maintain a relationship with your Father through prayer and fasting, knowing in your heart that Christ is interceding on your behalf so that you can live your best life in peace. Outsmart your enemies by turning them over to the Most High and remember that every member of the body is important, we’re too close to the end…seek God and live.

AlleluYAH!

WHAT IS NECROMANCING?

Definition of necromancy

1: conjuration of the spirits of the dead for purposes of magically revealing the future or influencing the course of events (Merriam-webster.com)

Definition of conjure

1: to charge or entreat earnestly or solemnly
2a: to summon by or as if by invocation or incantation
b(1): to affect or effect by or as if by magic
(2): IMAGINE, CONTRIVE —often used with up

(3): to bring to mind (Merriam-webster.com)

Definition of summon

1: to issue a call to convene : CONVOKE
2: to command by service of a summons to appear in court
3: to call upon for specified action
4: to bid to come 
5: to call forth : EVOKE —often used with up (Merriam-webster.com)

Now that we have a few definitions out of the way to be politically correct, we can discuss in a Biblical sense what necromancing is. I recently had disturbed feelings about a situation dealing with members of my family wanting the company of my Mother’s ashes for Mother’s Day. I am not asking the audience if I was right or wrong in these feelings that I had but I do want to bring some light on what The Most High has made clear to us in His word. This particular blog entry isn’t written to hurt anyone but the nudging of my spirit lets me know that I must inform the masses of the truth.

We all know that hasatan is a creative but shady demonic entity that rules this world for a season but just how crafty is he to use the people we once loved to make us sin against our Father’s will? Dreams and visions can bring about truth in our lives mostly for the future, however dreaming about the past or deceased people can be dangerous territory for us as believers. We can not be ignorant of the enemy’s devices! Loosing a loved one hurts but we also know that The Creator of all things (God) makes no mistakes, especially concerning life and death regardless of how we might feel about it. Depending on advice, direction or opened doors and opportunities from the dead is indeed necromancing, sorcery, conjuring, witchcraft, summoning, transferring spirits convoking, incantation, majic, evoking, etc. IT IS WRONG! Our Power is a jealous Power and leaning on anyone or anything other than Him will cause destruction. The Biblical story of King Saul consulting the witch of Endor in 1 Samuel 28th chapter proves this and him trusting in the dead more than God was the root cause of his sin and death.

Marine Spirits

Ecclesiastes 5:7 For in many dreams and in many words there is emptiness. Rather, fear God. 

Sometimes dreams are a little more serious than what some may want to admit. Since we are spirit beings in a body we should take dreams/visions as an unseen reality. Making covenants and soul ties can be made in the invisible world as well as the visible. The enemy comes to kill, steal and destroy; thus taking advantage at a time that we are less likely able to fight back! Even eating or returning to old houses, schools, jobs, etc. can be a bad thing while dreaming because of the covenants being made. We are to pray and repent always but we should always rebuke, bind and send God’s fire to ANY evil being or spirit.

Dreams, soul ties, evil covenants, marine spirits (mermaids, bodies of water, etc.) and even demons are very real especially for those that know/serve our El and His Son our Messiah. The spirit of leviathan is also a marine spirit spoken of at the end of the book of Job by The Most High and it is even used by our Power to come against prideful people. Never forget that satan is a minion for the Creator and he can only do what the Father allows, however dreams and visions are ways that the enemy is allowed to attack due to portals and the unaware but conscience state we call sleep.

Daniel 2:1 Now in the second year of the reign of Nebuchadnezzar, Nebuchadnezzar had dreams; and his spirit was troubled and his sleep left him.

False Prophets

WE ARE IN THE LAST DAYS!!! Many have come in the name of The Most High God but are false prophets and hypocrites. Not only that but when your Pastor tells you that you don’t have to keep the law/commandments when God says to keep them forever is a lie. When a “prophet” tells you you’re going to be “blessed” even though you know you’ve been sinning and the Father isn’t giving you anything anytime soon (except grace to keep you alive) is considered to be a FALSE PROPHET! Here are some other examples of true and false prophets/teachers…

2 Corinthians 11:13-15 KJV

13 For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.

14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.

15 Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.

Jeremiah 23:14-32 KJV

14 I have seen also in the prophets of Jerusalem an horrible thing: they commit adultery, and walk in lies: they strengthen also the hands of evildoers, that none doth return from his wickedness; they are all of them unto me as Sodom, and the inhabitants thereof as Gomorrah.

15 Therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts concerning the prophets; Behold, I will feed them with wormwood, and make them drink the water of gall: for from the prophets of Jerusalem is profaneness gone forth into all the land.

16 Thus saith the Lord of hosts, Hearken not unto the words of the prophets that prophesy unto you: they make you vain: they speak a vision of their own heart, and not out of the mouth of the Lord.

17 They say still unto them that despise me, The Lord hath said, Ye shall have peace; and they say unto every one that walketh after the imagination of his own heart, No evil shall come upon you.

18 For who hath stood in the counsel of the Lord, and hath perceived and heard his word? who hath marked his word, and heard it?

19 Behold, a whirlwind of the Lord is gone forth in fury, even a grievous whirlwind: it shall fall grievously upon the head of the wicked.

20 The anger of the Lord shall not return, until he have executed, and till he have performed the thoughts of his heart: in the latter days ye shall consider it perfectly.

21 I have not sent these prophets, yet they ran: I have not spoken to them, yet they prophesied.

22 But if they had stood in my counsel, and had caused my people to hear my words, then they should have turned them from their evil way, and from the evil of their doings.

23 Am I a God at hand, saith the Lord, and not a God afar off?

24 Can any hide himself in secret places that I shall not see him? saith the Lord. Do not I fill heaven and earth? saith the Lord.

25 I have heard what the prophets said, that prophesy lies in my name, saying, I have dreamed, I have dreamed.

26 How long shall this be in the heart of the prophets that prophesy lies? yea, they are prophets of the deceit of their own heart;

27 Which think to cause my people to forget my name by their dreams which they tell every man to his neighbour, as their fathers have forgotten my name for Baal.

28 The prophet that hath a dream, let him tell a dream; and he that hath my word, let him speak my word faithfully. What is the chaff to the wheat? saith the Lord.

29 Is not my word like as a fire? saith the Lord; and like a hammer that breaketh the rock in pieces?

30 Therefore, behold, I am against the prophets, saith the Lord, that steal my words every one from his neighbour.

31 Behold, I am against the prophets, saith the Lord, that use their tongues, and say, He saith.

32 Behold, I am against them that prophesy false dreams, saith the Lord, and do tell them, and cause my people to err by their lies, and by their lightness; yet I sent them not, nor commanded them: therefore they shall not profit this people at all, saith the Lord.

Ezekiel 22:30 KJV

30 And I sought for a man among them, that should make up the hedge, and stand in the gap before me for the land, that I should not destroy it: but I found none.

Matthew 23:29 KJV

23 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.

24 Ye blind guides, which strain at a gnat, and swallow a camel.

25 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye make clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion and excess.

26 Thou blind Pharisee, cleanse first that which is within the cup and platter, that the outside of them may be clean also.

27 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men’s bones, and of all uncleanness.

28 Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.

29 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye build the tombs of the prophets, and garnish the sepulchres of the righteous,

30 And say, If we had been in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets.

31 Wherefore ye be witnesses unto yourselves, that ye are the children of them which killed the prophets.

32 Fill ye up then the measure of your fathers.

33 Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell?

34 Wherefore, behold, I send unto you prophets, and wise men, and scribes: and some of them ye shall kill and crucify; and some of them shall ye scourge in your synagogues, and persecute them from city to city:

35 That upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel unto the blood of Zacharias son of Barachias, whom ye slew between the temple and the altar.

36 Verily I say unto you, All these things shall come upon this generation.
