"So I prophesied as I was commanded"

Text: Ezekiel 37:7

FULL OBEDIENCE

Ezekiel took a step of faith and prophesied to the bones. He had to believe with all his heart what God had commanded him to do.

“So I prophesied as I was commanded;
and as I prophesied, there was a noise,
and suddenly a rattling;
and the bones came together, bone to bone.
Indeed, as I looked,
the sinews and the flesh came upon them,
and the skin covered them over;
but there was no breath in them.”
