Opening

Praise the Lord. I want to thank God for this grace to deliver His message tonight. I thank my dad and mom in the Lord for the mentoring and tutoring. Father, I thank You for Your grace and for the word You will speak through me tonight, that everyone hearing, including myself, will return blessed in Jesus’ mighty name.

Title and premise

The title of my message tonight is Reviving seemingly hopeless situations — seemingly because nothing is truly hopeless. Our perception of a situation and the actions we take determine the outcomes we get. We must realize that heaven is rooting for us.

Anchor scripture

Isaiah 45:11 says: ask Me of things to come concerning My sons, and concerning the works of My hands, you command Me. God made everything, and He invites us to engage His works in faith.

Ezekiel 37: preparing the ground

In Ezekiel 37, God says He will put sinews, flesh, and skin — creating a conducive environment — then He will put breath and they shall live. Verse 8 shows something important: the bodies were formed, but there was no breath in them. Many people give up at that stage, saying, “I’ve done everything God asked me to do.” But what they have really done is prepare the ground.

Prophesy to the Breath

God then says: prophesy to the breath. “Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe on the slain.” The breath is understood as the Holy Spirit.

The Four Winds

The message explores the four winds: north, south, east, and west. North wind brings rain; south wind brings calm and peace. East wind is associated with judgment and empty knowledge; west wind drives out detractors, like the locusts being blown out of Egypt.

Life comes through the Breath of God

When we summon the Breath of God, we bring life into a situation, impart peace, release judgment on detractors, and flush out demonic influence. We prepare the ground and God does the remaining work. It is a partnership.

Do not grieve the Holy Spirit

But it is not everyone that can summon the Breath of God. Ephesians 4:30 says do not grieve the Holy Spirit. Bitterness, wrath, anger, slander, and similar postures grieve the Spirit and disqualify intimacy.

Prayer

Father, forgive me in areas I have grieved Your Spirit. Give me the grace to never grieve Your Spirit again. As we pray from Ezekiel 37:9, we declare: “Come from the four winds, O Breath, and breathe on the slain.” Breathe on my business, breathe on me, breathe on my spouse, breathe on my career, breathe on the Church of God, in Jesus’ mighty name.
