Here Is Home Series: 08.30.26 Speak To It Again | Pastor Bryan Powe

How y 'all doing? Shouts out to Collective Worship,

right? I was like, you know, today's message,

we're coming out of Ezekiel, so we got to speak

about some dry bones living. And so if you're

ready to speak to some dry bones, just give the

Lord a shout of praise in the house. Look at

your neighbor and say, look, find you a good

neighbor. Find you a good neighbor and say, hey,

neighbor. Say open up that grave I'm coming now.

I'm gonna live live live again Well, I'm incredibly

grateful to be here with you this morning you

guys sound amazing and so I'm gonna get into

the word, you know, we've been declaring it all

year long that there will be what? New life.

And we're going from graves to glory. That's

the story that when we speak about resurrection

power, it's acknowledging that even if it's dead,

if God didn't say it's done, it's not over yet.

And we're going to speak to those things and

those dry bones are going to come alive again.

You know, in this sermon series, I had a time

last Sunday. Y 'all had a time last Sunday, and

it was about us not running away from the places

God has called us and declared us to be. But

no, here is home, and these dry bones are gonna

live. We're gonna speak to the situations and

watch God move. Y 'all ready to speak to some

things? Well, amen. Father God, I thank you for

today and I thank you for this opportunity to

come and to minister to your people. I pray that

today we feel a fresh outpouring of your spirit.

I pray that today we leave here stirred up, encouraged,

and on fire for you, Father God. I pray that

all crooked ways are being made straight. I pray

that light is shining into darkness. I pray that

your wisdom is invading all just information.

And I pray that you are ruling and reigning in

every area of our lives. We take this moment

to lift you up, acknowledge you, and ask you,

God, to lead and guide us as we open up your

word, for your spirit to illuminate the truth

you have for us today. And we just thank you,

God, for being such an incredible, loving God

that we can read this word today and receive

it as ours, not because we've been good, because

you're just that. good thank you for thank you

for inviting us into these precious promises

we we are grateful that you loved us so much

that you set us up from victory that we are not

living to fight for victory we're living from

victory that we are in christ jesus we have already

overcome and we will spend the rest of our days

right expecting good good The Bible tells us

that I would have fainted had I stopped believing

that I would experience the goodness of the Lord

right here in the land of the living well father

God we will not faint but we will continue to

believe that we will see the goodness of the

Lord right here in the land of the living In

your precious name, I pray the name above all

names y 'all say with me Jesus Amen We'll turn

to Ezekiel chapter 37. We'll be there today.

Ezekiel 37 · chapter mention

The title of my message is speak to it again.

Speak to it again. You know, speak to it again.

And none of us are absent from having to, you

know, speak life to situations that have no life

in them. You know, I know God wouldn't have brought

this word to our church if there wasn't going

to be opportunity to use it and So many of us

have come face to face to the very thing that

you know May have sounded strange in January

that we're speaking new life and we're going

from grace to glory What are you talking about

pastor? But I think many of y 'all have vivid

Image of exactly what needs new life right now

And so we know that God has been with us and

he has truth for us and it's not the time to

lose heart, cave in or quit, but time to stand

firm on what he's been building this whole year

that we will speak to the things that aren't

looking like there's much life, but declare that

it's going from, look at him say, it's going

from graves to glory. Graves to glory. And so

we took another step in that right in this Hear

His Home series. It's more than a sermon title.

It's truthfully a declaration. It's an intent

to say, you know what, this is home. And there

will be, last we talked about, there will be

order in this house that this will be what God

says it's going to be. And so now we get to start

the journey of going through, to every promise

there's a path. So we get to talk about the path

to seeing, to seeing things. raise up from the

dead to seeing new life come and you know that

is what I'm incredibly excited about today because

Ezekiel 37 is planted in the moment where it

was death all around yet and still God called

the prophet at that time to speak life to what

was dead. So y 'all ready? Amen and I want to

say this up front and you know, it's important

for us to realize this right Proverbs 29 and

18 says right where there is no vision the people

perish right and it's letting us know that there

is divine revelation that there is Insight we

talked about last week wisdom from God for people

to actually live that it's not just simple desire

that we have, but it's important that there's

vision present for life to come back. That there

must be a vision. from God, that breaks down

there is a redemptive revelation from God for

life to come again. What does this mean? We're

not asking for life to come so that we can have

our own needs met. We're not asking for life

to come so that we can get our own desires met,

but we're asking for life to come back to dead

things so God's will can be performed. That it's

not about me, it's about what God wants to have

happen. A lot of things have found their place

in to drive places and dead places because we've

been serving it selfishly we've been we've been

Stewarding it selfishly and so a lot of things

are dead on purpose so that now we can be resurrected

in the life God intended for it to have and So

when we talk about speaking and we talk about

Life and we talk about resurrection talk about

graves to glory It's important for us to realize

that vision vision wisdom is the first step in

that process y 'all rocking with me Verse 37

starting at verse will chapter 37 started verse

1 it says the hand of the Lord was upon me He

brought me out in the spirit of the Lord and

set me down in the middle of the valley It was

full of bones and he led me around Among them

and behold there were many very many on the surface

of the valley and behold they were very very

Dry and what is Ezekiel? I'm speaking of at this

moment God Has Ezekiel in a visionary dream right

that this is a visionary dream that um God took

Ezekiel in this moment and he had him view Through

a vision through a dream. I'm just want to make

sure this wasn't something he physically saw

This is a moment that was in the dream and in

this dream He took him to a valley and this valley

was filled with bones, but not just bones very

dry bones. The reason for it's important for

us to realize that this was a visionary dream

because every layer of what he's seeing actually

has death to what was happening at that time.

So at this moment, the reason why he's in a valley,

right, a valley season, not a mountaintop season,

because the people of Israel at that moment were

not succeeding. They were in a valley. They were

in between two places, right, of victory. You

know, mountaintops represent victory when we

read them in the Bible. Valleys represent. fight,

struggle, where we walk through the valley of

the shadow of death. I shall what? Fear no evil.

So when it's speaking of valleys, they're in

between two things. It's not a good place, but

it's a place that God is still with them. And

that's important for us to realize as believers

that even though you're in a valley, God is with

us in valleys as well. God doesn't retreat from

valleys. Oftentimes like Ezekiel, he visits us

in the valley. Oh, that's such a good thing for

y 'all to realize that God doesn't wait to visit

you on the mountaintops. He's the God who comes

in the valley. And so Zeke, God's showing him

this like, no, I'm the God of the valley too.

And so he's showing him through the valley and

he says the drone, the bones were very, very

dry. And what he's alluding to is that now it

wasn't that they were were barely, barely without

life. They were. dead and gone and When you look

through it those very dry bones actually represent

the the the Attitude of the people that represented

their outlook that they were not just without

hope that they were Hopeless they had no thought

that anything good could happen at all. They

were very dry bones y 'all rocking And he said

to me, son of man, can these bones live? This

is such an incredible question that's being asked.

So now you have this moment, God has taken Ezekiel

the prophet through dream into this moment where

he's given him an understanding of what he's

about to do. And in this dream, he asked him

a question, can these dry bones live? That is

a question that many of us have to answer today

Concerning whatever dry bones we're looking at

Is do you believe they can live What's amazing

about this is God already knows what he's about

to do God's will isn't dependent upon Ezekiel's

response to the question that God has already

ordered and orchestrated for life to come. The

question is, are you gonna co -sign on what's

already been predetermined? Are you gonna allow

yourself to change your perspective and align

it up with God's able to do? He was asking him

a question not to get permission to do something.

He was asking him a question so that he can align

himself with God's plan. Amen. Oftentimes we

get that same question from the people around

us, do you think it can change? You gotta remind

yourself, it ain't what I think can happen, it's

what God wants that's going to happen. Like I

don't think you realize that there are places

in our life that are above our pay grade. And

so it's not about what I want what I wanted left

a long time ago Well, I desire ain't been around

for a good little minute But I've been choosing

to serve to the will of my father for quite some

time So if it if it be his will let these dry

bones live Y 'all hear what he's saying That

he's trying to he's trying to wake him up Look

at your neighbor, hear your neighbor say, wake

up! He says, so, son of man, can these dry bones

live? And I answer, oh, Lord God, you know. Then

he said to me, prophesy over these bones and

say to them, Old dry bones hear the word of the

Lord. And so he's sitting in the middle. Once

again, this is a visionary dream and he's in

this valley and these bones are there. They actually

represent the people of Israel, their outlook,

their disposition, how they feel about what's

going on. And the one of the reasons why they

were very dry is this actually is a moment after

judgment had came. And so they were in a moment

of judgment. God had judged them. They had been

defeated by the Babylonians. So it wasn't just

a theoretical defeat. It was an actual defeat.

That they had been defeated. They had sinned.

They had fallen out of line with God. Everything

they had were. intended to do. They had not did.

And it just was a very, very druid scene. And

right there, he asked Ezekiel to speak to the

bones to hear the word of the Lord. What I love

so much about this is although God doesn't need

Ezekiel to speak in order to do what he's going

to do. He involves Ezekiel because God loves

for us to respond to dead situations. That he's

asking him to speak to it, not because he needs

his words in order to perform, but in the process

of him performing, he's reshaping his outlook.

He's reshaping his attitude. He's reshaping how

he view things. He's remaking his what he thinks

is possible That he's asking him to speak because

when you start to speak there's something on

the inside of you that starts to change That

when you allow your your words to align with

God's will it starts to it starts to change you

on the inside Right that Satan loves for you

to stay silent because in the silence you can

hide But when you start to open up your mouth,

you get a little more confidence. And so he's

telling me, you're going to need to speak the

word of the Lord to these dry bones. Why are

you saying this, Pastor Brian? Because one thing

we have to realize about where we are in our

situations, sometimes Satan will have you thinking

that your speech is irrelevant. But sometimes,

I love what my mama said, sometimes you got to

talk to yourself. Talk to yourself. I'm gonna

I'm gonna do it. She be doing she be doing it

so well, but Brian hear the word of the Lord

This shall live and it shall not die I Love what

she says. I said Deborah get yourself together

Sometimes you got to get yourself together you

have to speak to yourself About what God has

shown you what God said is going to be and God

said they shall live and not die So dry bones

hear the word of the Lord It was an exercise

of a dream because he had this dream, but he

would have to physically go out and do it So

in this moment God is taking him on this vision

Giving him the confidence through this vision

to do what he was gonna actually have to do in

reality Y 'all rocking with me. Whoo He says

that says the Lord to these dry bones Behold

I will cause breath to enter you and you shall

live and I will lay sinews upon you and will

cause flesh to come upon you and I will cover

you with skin and put breath in you and you shall

live and you shall know that I am the Lord so

right he's sitting here and what he's doing is

is he's prophesying what God said before what

happened even occurred that he's answering this

question of can these dry bones live in chapter

36 God breaks a covenant says these are my people

they shall live and not die. That's what chapter

36 covered. Well, by time chapter 37 rolls around,

these folks has lost all they hope. And he say,

no, no, no, I've already spoken what is going

to be. Dry bones, you hear the word of the Lord.

Y 'all hear what he's saying, that he's using

the word of God to declare in a dead situation

what God has already said. There's a way I like

to say this, like, you don't have to worry about

what's being said if you know what's. Been said

when you know what's been said you don't have

to worry about what's being said so Ezekiel's

having a been said moment a Been said moment

you ever been in a place in your life. You just

got to remember what was been said That this

is what God said I know what we see but then

there's what God Said and in those seasons when

what you see doesn't match up with what God said,

you know what you're supposed to do speak again

Speak again Dry bones hear the word of the Lord.

This is the word that I have That you shall live

and not die God's word wasn't contingent upon

your behavior It was confirmed through his covenant

God had made a covenant promise to the people

of Israel that they shall be his people and he

should be there God and he did not put conditions

on it about how this was going to work. It was

his word You are my people. I am your god now.

They had a rough relationship We in one of the

rough patches But yet and still the rough season

didn't undo his covenant promise And that is

What God is showing Zeke you and that is what

we must stand firm on no rough season cancels

God's promise You shall I shall be your God and

you shall be my people Dry bones hear the word

of the Lord. What's also powerful here is You're

seeing Ezekiel perform what we know is the word

of God is a what? An incorruptible seed. What

does that mean? That means the word of God cannot

return void. Once the word of God is sown, a

harvest is going to come. It doesn't matter the

condition it was sown in. Dry bones hear the

word of the Lord. He was speaking the word of

the Lord to a situation that wasn't even receptive

to life. Y 'all got to rock with me a little

better than that. That he was speaking what God

said to something that wasn't even receptive

to life Why are you saying this pastor Brian?

Because that is a vivid picture of many of our

worlds right now To where you're having to speak

to something that doesn't even show signs of

life But dry bones hear the word of the Lord

I don't care how dead you look how dry you look

how confused you look how you don't understand

a word that's coming out of my mouth The word

of God is an incorruptible seed. Dry bones hear

the word of the Lord. Speak and keep speaking

what thus says the Lord. We're not speaking because

we see something good. We're speaking because

God said something good. Y 'all hear what I'm

saying? Dry bones hear the word of the Lord Many

of y 'all have become hopeless because they haven't

started changing yet dry bones hear the word

of the Lord I'm not speaking because I see progress

I'm speaking because he's already declared what

is going to be so I'm gonna keep speaking what

God says knowing that what God says is incorruptible

see so dry bones Hear the word of the Lord Now

I would start to use some other adjectives to

describe some of your situations, but you know

who your dry bone is Here's the word of the Lord

you're gonna live You're gonna live you're gonna

live Because here's truth is the God who creates

is the same God who recreates And sometimes we

forget that. That the same God who created what's

now jacked up is the same God who recreates what's

jacked up. It's the same God. The same God who

started it is the same God who can remake it.

The same God who formed it is the same God who

reforms it. It's the same God. If he did it before,

he can do it again. I know it's not second service

yet. But we sing about it now. It's time to live

like we have learned about this. That is the

same God You're not having to reconvince another

God about what he said You just looking at the

effects of we talked about this Ephesians chapter

Ephesians 6 · chapter mention

6 that there is a world I'm not going back to

But I've been looking in the people I'm like

did you we just went through the whole book of

Ephesians to help us reconcile that there are

people who are not alive to God. They are not

alive. But guess what? Drop on. Hear the word

of the Lord. You're going to live. And I will.

Love this and I will lay the sinews upon you

and I will cause flesh to come to you and cover

you with skin And breathe breath into you shall

live again and she'll yours shall know that I

am the Lord First seven so I prophesied as I

was Commanded and as I prophesied there was a

sound and behold a rattling in the bones came

together, bone to its bone. It's important for

us to see this because it's also given imagery

that they were broken into pieces, right? That

when you hear dry bones, sometimes you could

think that, man, they were just dry together.

But the Bible wants us to be very clear that

they were not only dry, but they were dismembered,

that they had lost their connection. They had

lost their place. They had lost where they belong.

So this wasn't just speaking for something to

come back to life. It was reorganizing what once

was that it was saying like, no, things are scattered.

Things are broken. Things are dry. It's wanting

us to realize that this was far from hopeful.

Yet. He spoke. It's wanting us to connect with

the fact that nothing in our world is too far

gone, nothing in. your life is to dismember.

If God has declared it to be, it shall be." He

said, and the bones came together, bone to his

bone. And I looked and behold, there was sinews

on them and flesh that came, come upon them and

skin had covered them. But there was no breath.

This is such a beautiful piece because, and I

love this. I love when there's just those visionary

dreams, right? So Ezekiel is in a visionary dream.

God is taking him on this journey before he has

to live it out in life. I say that because it

means that, man, we really should pay attention

greatly to the nuances that are on display. And

at this point, we're seeing that there was a

process to the recovery. That first the bones

came together, then the bones had flesh come

to them. That even though it was a miracle, it

didn't overlook that process was necessary. That

even though he had prophesied for life to come

there was a structure needed so life could be

formed y 'all rocking with when we talked about

structure last week that they didn't just get

back up and Instantly it wasn't no and suddenly

he was speaking sound rattling bones coming together

bones didn't have flesh come to them that there

was a process even when God was present. Oftentimes

we believe, but when God does it, process ain't

involved. That if God shows up, it must have

all came together at once. No, God is a God of

process. And so what are we to get out of this?

That we cannot be discouraged when the first

step doesn't look like it got all the way done.

We cannot discredit the first step the first

step is still necessary The bones had to be brought

back together because they were greatly dissembled

before flesh could come the bones had to be reassembled

There's an order to what's happening here that

he couldn't bring the flesh while the bones was

still dismembered The bones have to come together.

Once the bones are together, now the flesh can

come to the situation that there was an order

even when God was present. There was a process

even while God was present. Why? Because we'd

be looking for so many and suddenly we forget

that he's a God of order. He's a God of structure

and we cannot become sad when the first step

doesn't get us all the way to the top of the

staircase. Just take the first step. Is what

I'm trying to get you to hear it's okay to take

the first step Just take the right step going

towards what God said. Sometimes you can only

go so far What are you saying the truth is your

obedience may look pointless until God performs

what looked impossible At this point, all right,

phones rattling, sound. What does this look like?

This looks like that. Let me go ahead and send

that text. Let me go ahead and make that phone

call. Let me go ahead and do this. And nine times

out of 10, you ain't gonna get back what you

was looking for. A lot of times you can get the

direct opposite of what you're saying. God said,

this is gonna live. And I can't be adverse to

the process of life being restored. Look at him

and say, every step matters. He says, and their

bones came together, it was bone to bone, and

looked, and behold, there was sinews on them

and the flesh that came upon them and the skin

covered them, but there was no breath. So they're

together. Breath here is not just talking about

air to breathe, speaking of the spirit of life.

That they lacked the spirit of God, that they

lacked life from God. They were together, they

were assembled, yet they had not received the

spirit's filling. Then he said to me, prophesy

to the breath, prophesy son of man and say to

the breath, thus says the Lord, God come from

the four winds of breath and breathe on these

slain that they may live. So I prophesy as he

commanded me and breath came to them and they

lived and stood on their feet in an exceedingly

great that we see this process, right? We see

first Ezekiel speak to something that is dead.

Then we see him speak again for them to come

together. They're assembled. The bones come together.

Sinus come together. Flesh is coming to these

bones. But here they are still without life,

present. That's what we talk about. They're positioned,

but they ain't postured. That they are visible

standing But aren't postured yet towards God

I Say this because a lot of times this is right

where we stop We get so happy That they're not

yelling at us no more That we forget that they

like black breath from God for what needs to

happen And so he's like, no, you gotta keep speaking.

We're going all the way this time. That we want

them to receive the Spirit of God. We're not

just okay with looking good in the photos. We

want God's breath on this. We want God's way

on this. That yeah, we could stop right here

and have a good time. But if we want God's will

to be done, we need his spirit to inhabit these

people. Y 'all gotta rock with me. Because right

here is where a lot of us, we get so tired of

fighting that once we get everybody together,

this was victory. No, this ain't victory yet.

We still need God's hand. We need God to consume

this. We need God's breath on what happens next.

Verse 11, then he said to me, son of man, these

bones are the whole house of Israel. Behold,

they say. Our bones are dried up and our hope

is lost. We are indeed cut off. So now, when

we get to this spot, we're seeing the attitudes

and the words of the people he's speaking to.

That they have no hope for God's involvement

in their lives. truly believe that God is done

with them. That they don't believe that God has

a care nor concern for who they are. They see

themselves as cut off from God. It's important

that we see this because a lot of times we speak

about getting to the root of a matter. And we

have to realize a lot of times we get caught

up in the symptoms people present. But a person

who is filled with God always has hope in God.

We spoke about, I have a reason to praise. That

praise isn't just an outward expression. It's

it's an inward conviction that God's still on

my side That he isn't forsaken me he hasn't forgotten

me so no matter what the despair looks like I

still have hope Why are you saying it's pastor

Brian because many of the people In many of the

situations that we're having to speak to, we

have to realize the level of desperation that's

ahead of us. But also how simple the solution

of how powerful the acknowledgement of God being

with you is on your outlook of life. That once

you have a true conviction, that it is God who

is with you. There truly isn't many things that

can steal your hope away. I like to say it like

this, is that we don't have a big enemy, we have

a small view of God. Doesn't matter what the

enemy is doing. Have you seen? God Have you gained

a revelation of who God is I I I know you are

very Articulate about your issue, but are do

you have a vivid picture of what God can do?

And so when you speak at this moment, and this

is why I love so much already for this I believe

Ezekiel takes the word vision to a whole nother

level. That what Ezekiel is truly experiencing

is a vivid picture of God's power. He doesn't

just have a plan. He doesn't just have a strategy.

He has a vivid picture of God's power. What do

you mean Pastor Brian? That he is through this

vision He is seeing that God can speak to dry

bones, reassemble them, bring flesh to them,

bring his spirit back to them, that something

that is hopeless, dead, and gone isn't too far

away from God. He's not walking away from this

vision with a good plan. He's walking away from

the vision with a conviction of how powerful

God is. Y 'all gotta work with me. I'm trying

to turn something, stir something up in you,

because I know many of y 'all have had dreams,

you got plans, you got strategy, but do you have

a vivid image inside of you of how powerful God

is? Are you carrying a testimony that inclines

your heart to say, if God said it so, it shall

be so? Like, greater than the plan, greater than

the strategy is my belief in his power over all

things. Like, Ezekiel walks away knowing if God

be for you, who could be against you? Because

the first thing he would encounter is the people

who think they're too far gone, too cut off.

dry bones, hear the word of the Lord. I love

this. Because I believe God has a vision. He's

gonna restore many of you. Because Ezekiel was

that one brought out of that tribe. You may be

the one in your tribe That has to be That steady

voice of what God has said even in the valley

where no hope can be found But y 'all shadowed

me new life. Behold, they say our bones are dried

up and our hope is lost. We are indeed cut off.

Therefore prophesy and say to them, thus said

the Lord, behold, I will open your graves and

raise you from your graves, O my people. and

I will bring you into the land of Israel and

you shall know that I am the Lord when I open

your graves and raise you from your graves, oh

my people." Right? They thought they were cut

off, yet God is continuing to use words that

let them know you are not lost. My people, my

people, my people. I will open up your graves.

What is this? This is a picture of a resurrection

that was to come, right? That the Old Testament's

filled with types and shadows of a coming savior.

And so when he's speaking of those graves opening

up, he's speaking of resurrection power that

is to come. And God is going to not only open

up their graves, but open up the graves of all

people through resurrection power that come to

him. Why are you saying this, Pastor Brian? Because

I want you to have a vivid understanding of the

power that you have. That resurrection power

lives on the inside of you. Resurrection power

lives on the inside of you. You have the power

to speak to graves. They open up and what was

considered dead walk right back out But pastor

Brian I try speak again If you have heard from

the Lord there's nothing else to consider if

God said it shall live it shall live and not

die They may just still be trying to get their

bones together You may even see a little flesh

right now But we don't stop until the spirit

of god takes a hold of the whole situation And

submits to what god says shall be done. When

do I stop speaking? You don't stop speaking until

god is done Y 'all rocking with me look at them

say neighbor resurrection power lives on the

inside of you look at me and say hey neighbor

are you waiting on somebody to declare what you

have the power to speak Says and raise you from

your grave, old people, and I will put my spirit

within you and you shall live and I will place

you in your own land. Then you shall know that

I am the Lord. I have spoken and I will do it,

declares the Lord. That we see. This three part

structure, right? Vision. That was his dream,

a vivid picture of God's power. Then we see structure,

how it comes together. Then we see God breathe

on them again. What are you saying, Pastor Brian?

I want you to set that expectation for your life.

I want you to set that expectation for what God

is calling you to do. This is such a message

for leaders. Because oftentimes, as leaders,

you are that Ezekiel that's having to continue

to speak although things don't seem as though

they're moving. And I would just say, man, realize

that what you see isn't simply a plan. What you

see is a display of God's power. That oftentimes,

as a visionary, we keep thinking of the thing

we see. as we have this vision and we don't leave

understanding no you just got a clear display

of God's power this is what God can do what you

saw is what God can do and start seeing that

vision not as a plan not as an outcome but as

evidence that God's power can bring it together

y 'all rocking with me not my will, your will

be done. If this starts with a step that don't

even look like we moved, I will not faint, I

will not quit, cave in, lose heart, because we

will see the goodness of the Lord right here

in the land of the living. Father God, we thank

you for today. I just thank you for this opportunity

to come and to minister to your people. Father

God, I pray that they leave here understanding

the power you've deposited in them. I pray that

they leave here with a hunger and thirst to experience

your power made present in their lives. I pray

that they leave here understanding that they

haven't been forgotten. They haven't been forsaken,

but you are the God that will not leave them

nor forsaken, but be with them. Father God, I

pray they leave your understanding that no one

is too far gone, that no one is too removed,

that God, you, you have a plan, you have a purpose

and wisdom for every situation we may seem as

too difficult. But Father God, we will leave

here relentless about your truth. Committed to

your word. There's some things that you've been

said. We know what we are seeing, but there's

some things that you've been said. Renew us again,

God. Stir us up. Rekindle that fire about what

you are capable of doing. Amen. There's anybody

here today and like Pastor Brian Adam heard all

of that and I have yet to even give my life to

Christ Listen, we would love to be the church

and the people The Bible says best profession

of your mouth and a belief in your heart that

Jesus died and rose again that you shall Say

and so in this moment, I'm going to say a prayer

if you want to receive Jesus in your heart Repeat

this prayer and know that, whoo, you have a father

who will never leave you nor forsake you. But

Father God, I come to you with belief that you

died and you rose again. But when you rose, you

rose with my forgiveness. You redeemed me. Place

your spirit inside of me, and you have sealed

me to the day we meet. Heaven is my home. Earth

is my assignment. And I'm thankful to be called

a son and a daughter of yours. If you said that

prayer for the first time, let's give it up.

Let's cheer for them. Let's celebrate those who

said it for the first time. I'm so excited today,

y 'all. Y 'all have a good time in church today.

Amen. But I tell you, we'll receive today's offering

before we go. Here at Revealing Truth Ministries,

we believe in cheerful givers. What does that

mean? We believe in people who have communication

with God around their giving. They're not being

forced or coerced, but they believe that God

has given them instructions to give and in response

to what God has instructed them to do, they act

in obedience. And so they're cheerful about it

because God is a just God that He will never

leave us forsaken, that God... is a god who always

always makes sure that we have more than enough

he's exceedingly abundantly above god so god

asks you to sow it trust and believe that there

is a harvest for you amen and so um as you give

do so cheerfully this morning amen week two look

at neighbor say here is home right Don't let

nobody kick you out your house. No, you dry bones.

You hear the word of the Lord. Well. Stand to

your feet. Y 'all looking at me like, is he really

done? I am. Y 'all should see the looks on y

'all faces. Like, that brother, I know he got

something more to say. I don't. I don't. Y 'all

can walk out of here and be like, boy, that was

a miracle in service today. Oh, wait a minute.

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. So like, so

did she go? Everyone has them. All right. So

they should have gave you a card when you came

in, right? You guys get a card when you came

in. Yep. So check this out. Not like y 'all be

writing anyway in a law. There are cards somewhere

around here. Vera just showed me one, they exist.

They're out on the table. They are on the table,

so there are cards in the house. And so one of

the things that God had placed on our heart to

do is to join with you on this journey, right?

That this is something we're all walking through

together, but we do. We believe in the power

of prayer. We believe that God, man, he has a

will and a purpose, and Satan is no match with

his schemes. And so what we have, look, there

they go, is some cards, right? And on these cards,

right, maybe you have an image, maybe you don't

have an image of what God is. What you're standing

in faith for God to bring resurrection life to

But what we want to do is give you an opportunity

to join with your family your church family and

say hey This is what I'm standing in faith for

you write it on that card. You don't got to put

your name on the card our intercessory team is

gonna be praying over them and We're gonna spend

this this this here is home series just awaiting

and hearing the testimonies as God goes through

brings new life to our families, our situations,

relationships, and so that's what those cards

are for, right? And if you don't know what that

thing is today, spend this week, right? Spend

this week getting a, check this out, a vivid

image of God's power. Like what can God do? Not

what you think, not what they say, not what you

want, they want, but what can God do? Be bold.

My father always would say, the government can

tax a lot of things, but they haven't figured

out how to tax your dreams. So be bold, be courageous.

Amen. All right. What do we want them to do with

the cards? Put them at the altar. Amen. And you

oughta service early, so you don't take five

minutes, you know? But I love you, I thank God

for it. Now I want to him who is able to keep

you from falling and to present you faultless

for the presence of his glory with exceeding

joy to the only wise God, our savior. Glory and

majesty, dominion. both now and forever. Amen.
