DREAM: DEM BONES DEM BONES DEM DRY BONES RISING…
I recently had (10 September) the funniest, most vivid of dreams. I saw dry bones rising and literal whole skeletons forming and dancing and laughing. It felt as though I was taken into a literal depiction of Ezekiel 37, except the whole dream was like watching a slap-stick, hilariously funny musical!

I watched as full skeletons rose up out of the dirt in a large dry valley and started dancing. The skeletons hilariously danced and posed, and if this had been a real musical they were “bringing the house down” with laughter. It was very comedic. The skeletons were laughing and even God was laughing, and this scene kept playing over and over and over, until I started laughing uncontrollably in my sleep. Even in my dream I knew it was significant that the bones were laughing as they rose from the dust, and that God was deliberately provoking laughter as I watched them rise up and dance.

As only makes sense in a dream, 1111 was written all over the bones and the numbers 333 were dancing in the air over all the skeletons. The whole scene was so funny and so ridiculous, and so full of tangible, childlike joy.

John 11:11 “My friend Lazarus has fallen asleep but I AM going there to WAKE HIM UP”

Jeremiah 33:3 “ASK OF ME and I will tell you remarkable secrets you do not know about things to come.”

THE DAY OF RESURRECTION LIFE RESTORED
I knew immediately that this was Ezekiel 37 and that “dem” dry bones were rising. I entered into a knowing that this is a season of revival life breaking out on God’s people and in our nations. This is the day of life restored. I also knew that 1111 represented resurrection life flowing as spoken of in John 11:11 and that the 333 was symbolic of Jeremiah 33:3 which directs his people to “Ask of” God and He will answer.

I awoke with a sense of “DECREE TO THE DRY PLACES”, “DECREE TO YOUR CITY”, “DECREE LIFE WHERE THERE HAS BEEN DESTRUCTION”.  Hope for new life is rising and God is restoring that which the enemy has stolen and broken. The hope of ‘nothing is too hard for him” is being restored to his people. There is hope for YOU, your family, finances and circumstances.  Even where the enemy has brought severe devastation, The Father is decreeing Life to dry and broken places.  Creative, life giving miracles are on the rise and will be common.

THE DAY OF SOLUTIONS REVEALED
God is releasing strategy for prayer. “ASK ME” for new life and I will answer you says the Lord. The spirit is wooing us into a time of prophetic intercession for our nation. He is imploring us…. “ASK ME! I AM THE SOLUTION. I AM THE ANSWER. I HAVE THE SOLUTIONS. I HAVE THE ANSWERS” says the Lord.

The Father has SOLUTIONS for every challenge the world and our families is currently facing. God is revealing now wisdom and answers to seemingly impossible situations. No problem is bigger than his capacity to reveal creative solutions and blueprints of hope. The key is to ASK and receive from the unlimited realm of creativity and glory, and allow hope to rise. His heart is for us and not against us.

THE DAY OF JOY THAT HEALS PAIN
What stood out in this dream was the JOY AND EASE. Laughter was intrinsic to the process of dry bones rising. In this next season, joy will overtake us, surround us and call us out into a new ease. Joy is bringing healing to brokenness where many have felt they will never laugh again. This season of awakening will be easier than we think, and joy will mark all God is pouring out. The heaviness of the past seasons will wash off as God releases joy to the driest and most hardened, weary places of our heart. The back of oppression and hopeless is being broken. An almost childlike ease and laugher will overtake his kingdom, and heal deep pain and hurts. The Father is speaking ease where it has been difficult and solutions where there has been only brokenness.

GOD KNOWS OUR FUNNY BONE
God is reminding us He knows your funny bone! God is has a sense of humour and is the creator of JOY! He is bringing his church back to life and reminding us that he designed joy and has enough joy for each of us in the midst of our real life. God is reminding His people how to smile, how to laugh, and how to enJOY Him. The enemies chains are coming off and we will laugh at how easy this will increasingly happen.

GOD KNOWS OUR DRY BONE AND DISCONNECTED BONES
Not only that, God knows our dry bones and our disconnected bones. He’s putting them back together and reassembling an army, but not as you would imagine.  This army rising is marked by joy. God knows your broken bones and your fragile bones, and is strengthening and healing his people. God knows how to bring fragmented bones back to one body and he is capable of doing this with a childlike ease. He is restoring broken places and broken hearts. His church is rising and He is orchestrating this in this hour. NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR HIM. His church is on the rise. This is not the day of demise as many have supposed, BUT THESE ARE OUR GREATEST DAYS. What was sent to destroy you, will instead be the making of you as the Father orchestrates something powerfully beautiful from brokenness and ashes.  For many there is only “the bones” of something left to work with… but this is enough.  Watch and see as life is restored.

As in Ezekiel’s day, a decree is coming out of heaven. We are on the cusp of an unprecedented move of God. I hear the Father asking us, CAN THESE BONES LIVE?

Many are asking even now….
CAN MY FAMILY COME INTO A NEW DAY OF BREAKTHROUGH?
CAN MY CHURCH THRIVE?
CAN MY CITY COME ALIVE?
CAN MY NATION TURN AROUND?
ARE THERE SOLUTIONS FOR MY CIRCUMSTANCES?
CAN THESE BONES LIVE?

The answer is most definitely YES!
SPEAK TO THE DRY PLACES. PROPHESY TO THE BROKENNESS… “DRY BONES, THIS IS YOUR DAY OF LIFE RESTORED and SOLUTIONS being revealed.”
We say Amen.  We ask of you God, our Father and our friend, and we receive.
