Amos 2:11 For the Lord raises up sons for prophets.
Amos 3:7 Surely the Lord God will do nothing but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets.
Prophesy is the Mandate of the Church for the valley of dry bones, the spiritually dry church.
Ezekiel 37 The hand of the Lord came upon me, and he brought me out by the spirit of the Lord and set me down in the middle of a valley; it was full of bones. He led me all around them; there were very many lying in the valley, and they were very dry. He said to me, "Mortal, can these bones live?" I answered, "O Lord God, you know." Then he said to me, "Prophesy to these bones, and say to them: O dry bones, hear the word of the Lord. Thus says the Lord God to these bones: I will cause breath to enter you, and you shall live. I will lay sinews on you, and will cause flesh to come upon you, and cover you with skin, and put breath in you, and you shall live; and you shall know that I am the Lord."
So I prophesied as I had been commanded; and as I prophesied, suddenly there was a noise, a rattling, and the bones came together, bone to its bone. I looked, and there were sinews on them, and flesh had come upon them, and skin had covered them; but there was no breath in them. Then he said to me, "Prophesy to the breath, prophesy, mortal, and say to the breath: Thus says the Lord God: Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe upon these slain, that they may live." I prophesied as he commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they lived, and stood on their feet, a vast multitude.
Then he said to me, "Mortal, these bones are the whole house of Israel. They say, 'Our bones are dried up, and our hope is lost; we are cut off completely.' Therefore prophesy, and say to them, Thus says the Lord God: I am going to open your graves, and bring you up from your graves, O my people; and I will bring you back to the land of Israel. And you shall know that I am the Lord, when I open your graves, and bring you up from your graves, O my people. I will put my Holy Spirit within you, and you shall live, and I will place you on your own soil; then you shall know that I, the Lord, have spoken and will act, says the Lord."
We proclaim, decree that all the spiritual dry bones in Birmingham and the U.K. will live. Hear the words of the Lord; Jesus Christ is the spiritual bread of life. our manna from heaven; Holy Spirit come and breath upon them that they be come alive to to Jesus Christ.
Isaiah 61:1-8 Is the promise of God to the Church that is founded on the Rock.
The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is upon me, because the Lord has appointed me to bring good news to the poor. He has sent me to comfort the brokenhearted and to announce that captives will be released and prisoners will be freed. He has sent me to tell those who mourn that the time of the Lord's favor has come, and with it, the day of God’s anger against their enemies. To all who mourn in Israel, he will give beauty for ashes, joy instead of mourning, praise instead of despair. For the Lord has planted them like strong and graceful oaks for his own glory. They will rebuild the ancient ruins, repairing cities long ago destroyed. They will revive them, though they have been empty for many generations. Foreigners will be your servants. They will feed your flocks and plow your fields and tend your vineyards. You will be called priests of the Lord, ministers of our God. You will be fed with the treasures of the nations and will boast in their riches. Instead of shame and dishonor, you will inherit a double portion of prosperity and everlasting joy.
Isaiah 61:1 Greek version reads and the blind will see.
WE WILL WALK INTO OUR INHERITANCE, SERVE JESUS AND SEE THE GLORY OF THE LORD!
That you may be perfectly united in mind and thought. 1Cor.1:10
1Corinthians 1:9-10; The Church, Fellowship;
Fellowship with Jesus Christ is the church's distinctive mark. Fellowship (Greek:koinonia) describes partners who share a close unity or fellowship. The church has this unity created by Christ through the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit fellowship leads church members to help one another in spiritual and economic difficulties. The Fellowship does not represent an organization or a group. It represents the relationship between the believer and God and among believers. Such relationships are not possible through human achievements. God transforms Christians and makes fellowship possible. Fellowship in Christ should produce perfect unity among church members. Rom.15:5-7.
