No such thing as ‘coincidence’. Being focused upon what I’m hoping to publish on this full blog-day (BUT other items popped up!) I hadn’t got around to visiting Facebook as there was message on Telegram to attend and then copy screen-grabs of news on my browser tabs and get into drafting the previous two posts (along with ‘live’ PS!). After posting them I shared with my Prophecy Validations channel direct but had to log into my Facebook, only to behold on its home-screen my Facebook friend Chris was also into Ezekiel. AND his having written a few hours earlier put us in numerical sequence of the OT prophet’s ‘chapters’:
Ezekiel 37 – Another Reminder of Reviving the Army of God here on Earth
I was back with Ezekiel, in chapter 37 – the valley of dry bones. I envisioned the whole chapter – the prophetic call to the bones to become men again, the rattle of bones coming together, the sight of muscles, sinews, organs, and skin forming, All followed by this great army standing to its feet.
That was it for a few moments. This vast army was just stood there, motionless, blank expressions on their faces. Basically whole, but lifeless. The Lord interrupted by saying, “Does this not remind you of much of My church? A mighty but toothless, weaponless, directionless army – no leadership, no plan, nothing but an empty shell!”
I wanted to weep at the pitiful state of His Bride, but the Lord had more to say. “Do you think they can be revived?“, He asked. I repeated Ezekiel’s words, “Lord, only you know?” Then the Lord said to me, “YOU blow on them! YOU prophesy to the breath!”
I was a bit taken aback. “Me, Lord?” “Yes, YOU!”
So I blew, and I called for the breath of God, the Ruach of Holy Spirit, to enter once again into this army that is the Church. I felt to wind blow past my face. It was quite strong and tugged at my clothes. It got stronger and louder, rather like a breezy day on a hilltop or cliff-top. The army started to stir, they started to make a noise. The noise became a mighty shout, almost a roar!
Then I noticed something else, something not as per Ezekiel’s account. Only a relatively small part of the army was revived!
Row upon row remained in a comatose state, unmoving, silent, expressionless. “Lord”, I shouted over the din, “Lord, look only part of the army has responded, some need more breath!”, and with that, I started blowing again, prophesying again, trying to revive the whole army.
The Lord spoke quietly to me. “Only some will ever answer the call. Only some will ever return to their first call, their first love. Some have wandered too far to come back now. This that is alive is the Remnant that I have spoken about for so long. The rest have chosen the wider path, the easier road, the wrong way!” Then He added, “As with Gideon’s army, it is sufficient! Call them together and watch how I will use even these few mighty warriors.”
Then I watched as this remnant army was armed by the Lord. Some weapons I knew and recognised, but others were new to me. I felt the Lord smiling as His End-time army came into battle formation – suddenly surrounded by the heavenly host, the fiery horsemen and chariots of Israel. I felt as if I knew how Elisha’s servant felt at Dothan – awestruck!
The vision closed with the Lord saying, “Encourage My army. Breathe life into them. Speak to the bones once again, and watch Me revive My church in every nation. Tell them once again – the Lord is coming, the Lord is coming, He is bringing resurrection Life and the hope of eternity with Him. Do not be afraid. Be of great courage. The Lord is coming – revival is at hand !”
Hallelujah – Glory to God \o/

Footnote – our chat:
RB: LOL have just blogged on Ezek 38-39, sooo think we’ve got confirmation dear Chris.
Richard Barker the amazing thing Richard is that we appear to be in union but we virtually never know what the other is going to post! It must be Holy Spirit talking to both of us! Hallelujah. Chris G Bennett yes indeed as I only noticed when logging into Fbk after working on WPress after corresponding on Tgm when gathering news. – EVEN FUNNIER, obviously intend re-publishing yours as an immediate follow-on. Do I refer to it as another piece of the the invisible jigsaw coming by God’s GPS? In which case it’s number 100 !!!
So, this totally unplanned post is not only another ‘God-incidental’ example of the Lord’s invisible jigsaw pieces falling into place, or as we’re being metaphorical it’s also another example of Holy Spirit’s Global Prophecy Signals – possibly significant in being 100th!

Richard's Watch 
Richard do you recall this dream from 2010?
I had a dream, in the dream, I saw a human body laying on the ground. Ordinarily, this wouldn’t have been anything special except that the body was completely flat because it had no bones in it. What the Lord showed me was that the bones are representative of people and it is people who make up the structure of the church. This is what the Lord had showed me in Ezekiel 37, “the valley of dry bones”. In Ezekiel’s vision, the Lord took him and made him to set down in a valley. The valley is symbolic of death and despair. There were many bones in that valley they were both very dry because they had no covering and they were also scattered, meaning that they were not connected(no relationship). When the Lord asks Ezekiel ,”can these bones live” , Ezekiel knew that bones, were without life and hope of ever having life. Yet the Lord tells him to prophecy to the bones and say,”hear the word of the Lord”. The Lord, through the prophetic word spoken by Ezekiel brought the disjointed bones together,however, bones cannot attach themselves to one another, they need ligaments(relationships) to hold them together. However, the ligaments themselves do not posses the strength to hold the bones together alone. So, wrapped around the ligaments is muscle(representative of leadership), which brings me to the skin, which is the covering(representative of the church),which brings me back to my latest dream about the body with no bones. Everything heretofore mentioned is needed by/for the skin(church) in order for it to take shape. The skin will adapt to the structure it is covering. Even though Ezekiel saw the body formed, he notes that there is no breath in them. As James says, the body without the spirit is dead, so was the case here in Ezekiel’s vision. It looked like a body but it had no life because the breath had not come into the body. Again he is told to prophecy to the 4 winds and command breath to come into the body and it is at this point that they stood on their feet and became an exceeding great army. The point here that I feel that the Lord is saying is that every part of the body is needed for it to function properly. The body(church) is to be a living organism, not organization, made up of billions of individual cells. Eph. 2:22 says that we are built together for a dwelling place for God by his Spirit. Lastly, Col2:19 says that it is He who puts us together in one piece, whose very breath and blood flow through us. He is the head and we are the body. We can grow up healthy in God only as he nourishes us.

Many thanks Tony and will add to my Facebook version of this posting. (2010 was before we made contact soon after I began blogging.)
