"I will put My Spirit in you"

Text: Ezekiel 37:14

A GLORIOUS PROMISE

The word of the Lord given to Ezekiel was a truly needed word of inspiration to the heart. The work of reviving the nation was in itself a great miracle. The promise of the Holy Spirit was an even more inspiring word.

“‘Then you shall know that I am the Lord,
when I have opened your graves, O My people,
and brought you up from your graves.
I will put My Spirit in you, and you shall live,
and I will place you in your own land.
Then you shall know that I, the Lord,
have spoken it and performed it,’ says the Lord.”
Ezekiel 37:13-14
