Ezekiel 37:5 (KJV) ~ “Thus saith the Lord GOD unto these bones; Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, and ye shall live.”

There’s a distinct difference between something being delayed and something being dead. But even if what you’re facing feels like it’s beyond saving, the God of the Bible is here to remind you of a powerful detail, it is never too late when God is the one doing the reviving. 

In Ezekiel 37, the prophet is led by God into a valley, not of people, but of bones. Dry bones. Disconnected bones. Bones that had been dead a long time. It’s important to note, that God took him there, not to discourage him, but to demonstrate the unstoppable force of divine resurrection. The question God asked Ezekiel wasn’t about His own power, it was about Ezekiel’s faith and vision, “Son of man, can these bones live?” (Ezekiel 37:3). 

And maybe that’s the question God is asking you right now. Can your ministry live again? Can your passion reignite? Can your joy return? Can your family be restored? The enemy wants you to believe it’s too late. But the breath of God doesn’t bow to time. Ezekiel didn’t try to fix the bones; he prophesied to them. He spoke God’s Word to what was unresponsive. You need to speak the Word of God to that thing, situation and or person! 

This is a key spiritual principle, Dead things don’t respond to emotion! They respond to truth! The Word of God carries breath! When you declare what God has spoken, it doesn’t matter how dry the situation is, life begins to stir. “So, I prophesied as I was commanded… and the bones came together” (Ezekiel 37:7). Movement begins where there was once nothing but dust! 

Some of the most miraculous revivals in scripture happened when people thought the time had run out. Sarah was past childbearing age, yet God revived her womb (Genesis 21:1-2). Lazarus was four days dead, yet Jesus raised him up (John 11:43-44). The woman with the issue of blood had suffered twelve years, yet her touch of faith revived her body (Mark 5:29). 

Over and over again, God is showing you that He is not limited by human timelines. You may feel like what you’re praying for has gone too far, been dead too long, or been overlooked too many times. But let this truth settle deep in your spirit: God specializes in late moments that still deliver right on time! He does His best work in places where only He can get the Glory. If He revived Ezekiel’s valley, He can revive yours too!  

Isaiah 43:19 declares, “Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it?” God is not recycling your past; He’s reviving your future. He’s not just breathing life into what you lost, He’s creating something that exceeds your expectations. The same Spirit that raised Christ from the dead now dwells in you (Romans 8:11). That means resurrection lives inside your praise, your faith, and your obedience.

What’s required now is not panic, but prophecy. Not fear, but faith. Like Ezekiel, you must be willing to stand in the middle of what looks dead and speak life with authority. Prophesy healing to your body. Prophesy restoration to your family. Prophesy new breath to your spirit. Revival is not just an event; it is a response to the Word of the Lord. He has not forgotten you, and He has not abandoned what He started in you.

Today, God is saying: “It’s not too late. I have not changed My mind. I will cause breath to enter it again, and it shall live.” What looks dead is about to become a testimony. What looks empty is about to overflow. Don’t bury it, believe again! 

Let’s Pray:

Father, I thank You that time does not limit You, and that even when it seems too late for man, it’s never too late for You. You are the God who revives dry bones, restores broken things, and raises up what others have already pronounced dead. Today, I come before You and ask for fresh breath in every lifeless area of my life. Speak to the valleys I’ve been walking through. Revive the parts of me that stopped believing. Bring movement where there has only been stillness. God, forgive me for the times I declared something over before You were done with it. Teach me how to prophesy with boldness, like Ezekiel. Let my mouth come into agreement with heaven, even when my eyes see only dryness and delay. Remind me that You see the whole picture, and that Your breath changes everything. Today, I choose to believe that what looks beyond hope is still in Your hands. I speak life to my dry places. I speak revival to my dreams. I speak breath to the bones of my purpose. I receive the wind of Your Spirit now, and I declare that resurrection is not coming, it’s already beginning. I yield to the move of Your power, and I partner with the Word You have spoken. Revive me again, O Lord. Breathe on me, and I shall live. In the Name of Jesus Christ, I pray, Amen! 

Blessings…

1 Kings 17:22 – “And the LORD heard the voice of Elijah; and the soul of the child came into him again, and he revived.”

There are seasons in life where you can feel like something has died, maybe not a person, but a promise, passion, or purpose. It can be a vision that once burned bright but now lies buried under layers of pain and disappointment. It can be a relationship that once flourished but now feels irreparably broken. Or it may even be your own heart that feels numb from grief, loss, or repeated failure. But the good news is this: God is a reviver of dead things. He doesn’t just comfort you in your grief, He breathes life back into what you thought was lost forever.

In 1 Kings 17:21–23, you can find the prophet Elijah confronted with the lifeless body of a widow’s only son. With no natural remedy in sight, Elijah turned to the supernatural. He cried out to God and stretched himself upon the child three times, and the Lord responded. “And the Lord heard the voice of Elijah; and the soul of the child came into him again, and he revived” (v. 22). 

This was not just about a boy’s breath returning, it was about hope returning to a mother’s heart, faith returning to a household, and proof that God hears and God revives. Elisha, Elijah’s successor, carried the same mantle of resurrection. In 2 Kings 4:8–37, the Shunammite woman received a miracle child from God, only to have that very child die unexpectedly. But instead of preparing a burial, she prepared for revival. 

She ran to the prophet, and Elisha responded not with panic, but with power. “He went up and lay upon the child… and the flesh of the child waxed warm” (2 Kings 4:34). What once grew cold was warmed again. The child sneezed seven times, a number of completeness, and opened his eyes. What an image of complete restoration and divine intervention. This power to revive didn’t end with Elijah and Elisha. In the valley of dry bones, God asked the prophet Ezekiel, “Can these bones live?” 

Then He instructed him to prophesy to what was dead. “Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, and ye shall live” (Ezekiel 37:5). Even dry, scattered, long-forgotten bones are not beyond God’s reach. With one word from heaven, death must bow, and life must rise. In John 11, Jesus Himself stood outside of Lazarus’ tomb and declared, “I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live” (John 11:25). This wasn’t just for Lazarus, it is a declaration to the world that resurrection is not just an event, it is a person. Jesus Christ revives not only bodies but souls, callings, faith, and destinies.

What seems buried in your life? Is there a dream you’ve stopped praying about? A ministry you walked away from? A relationship you deemed too far gone? Romans 4:17 tells us that God “quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were.” God doesn’t just remember what died, He calls it by name and commands it to live again. Even when it seems like time has passed you by, Isaiah 55:11 assures you, “So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void.” 

When God speaks revival, you can trust that His Word will not fail. His timing is precise. His reach is eternal. His power is still active today. You may be looking at lifeless areas in your life with sorrow or silence, but God is calling you to believe again. He is calling you to speak, to stretch, to pray, and to pursue, because the God who revived the widow’s son, the Shunammite’s miracle, Ezekiel’s valley, and Lazarus’ body is still breathing life into dead things. You are not too late, and it is not too far gone. If God said it, there shall be a performance (Luke 1:45).

Let’s Pray:

Father, in the name of Jesus, I come before You acknowledging Your Sovereign power over all things, living and dead. You are the God who breathes life where there is none, the God who speaks to tombs and they tremble, the God who restores what has been scattered. I thank You for being the God who revives dead things,,not only bodies but also broken dreams, silenced callings, faded faith, and dry places in the soul. God, I bring to You every part of my life that feels lifeless. I lay before You every buried dream, every shut door, every prayer I’ve stopped praying. Revive my hunger for You. Revive my intimacy with Your Spirit. Revive the calling on my life that I once feared or ignored. Just as You revived the widow’s son through Elijah, and the Shunammite’s son through Elisha, breathe Your breath into my dead places. Let Your Word come alive in me again. Father, forgive me for the times I doubted Your power to restore. Forgive me for settling in graveyards when You were calling me to resurrection. Teach me to trust You again. Teach me to hope in Your Word. I receive the breath of heaven, the wind of Your Spirit, the fire of Your Presence. I declare that I shall live and not die, and every purpose You’ve spoken over me shall come forth in fullness and power. God, I align with what You’ve announced. I respond to what You’ve spoken. And I wait in faith for what You are confirming. I may have walked through valleys of dry bones, but I believe they are rising. I declare that resurrection power is in motion, and what You’ve begun, You will complete. In Jesus Christ Name, Amen!
