The Power of Real Prophecy
Not long ago The LORD spoke to me about the valley of dry bones, and He asked me, “Do you believe what I say will happen?”
I did see in my mind a Vision of the dead bones. It was very explicit. It was startling, for they were not only dead, but they were totally dry and rotting away in the desert.
I was moved in my innermost being. As he began to talk to me about Prophecy.
I thought then: I wonder if I have ever truly understood exactly what Prophecy is all about? Truly I have heard The LORD speak hundreds, if not thousands of times, and he told me then to to speak the Words.
I began to understand just how awful it was to hear Him speak, then to doubt His speaking!
I saw it as most terrible and a lack of Faith, an insult to God, to hear Him, then doubt, or question His Words.
I remember the first time I did speak Prophecy on Facebook, I was shaking inside saying, “LORD, are you sure? Do you really want me to speak these things?”
“Yes,” came back his answer. I said, “LORD, what will they think about these things? [I myself was shaken by the very Words I had heard Him say].
He said to me, “Let Me handle what men will do. You just speak My Words to them now! I AM that I AM. All you need to do is speak the Words, I will publish them.
If they don’t listen, it is not your fault, but it is their fault, and their fault is between them and Me.”
“Well, LORD,” I said, “I will speak them!” and trembling inside, I wrote the Words and then prayed again “LORD, is this right?”
“Yes!” He said, “It is exactly as I said it. Now just post it!”
I found out later that the Words had gone out, and they were all over the internet. It scared me. I thought, they are going to come after me. He said, “I AM the One they must answer to!”
I am always amazed at this process. I have come to know, and understand that true Prophecy is speaking God’s Words — and then watching to see them work.
The Prophet Ezekiel did speak The Words of The LORD, and he then watched the dry, dead, bones, stand up. He watched the flesh come again, and the skin. He watched as breath came again. He watched dead bones live.
Prophecy is the most powerful of all Words, and tools of God. When one speaks God’s Words, he speaks God’s very command.
Prophecy then, is commanding in God’s own Words.
Stand back and watch them work!
Now read the story of Ezekiel’s command to speak to the valley of dry bones…
“The hand of The LORD was upon me, and carried me out in The Spirit of The LORD, and set me down in the midst of the valley which was full of bones, and caused me to pass by them round about: and, behold, there were very many in the open valley; and, lo, they were very dry.
And He said unto me, son of man, can these bones live? And I answered, o LORD God, thou knowest.
Again Ge said unto me, prophesy upon these bones, and say unto them, o ye dry bones, hear The Word of The LORD.
Thus saith The LORD God unto these bones; behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, and ye shall live: and I will lay sinews upon you, and will bring up flesh upon you, and cover you with skin, and put breath in you, and ye shall live; and ye shall know, that I am The LORD.
So I prophesied as I was commanded: and as I prophesied, there was a noise, and behold a shaking, and the bones came together, bone to his bone.
And when I beheld, lo, the sinews and the flesh came up upon them, and the skin covered them above: but there was no breath in them.
Then said he unto me, prophesy unto the wind, prophesy, son of man, and say to the wind, thus saith The LORD God; come from the four winds, o breath, and breathe upon these slain, that they may live.
So I prophesied as he commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they lived, and stood up upon their feet, an exceeding great army.” Ezekiel 37:1-10
What else is left to say?
Prophecy is God’s Words spoken. The most powerful of all Words that can be spoken.

Thank you for this good word. Thank you especially for speaking what the Lord has given you. This is good food for thought for me—I do not always have the confidence I should to do and say what the Lord is leading me to. It is good to be reminded that the outcomes are in His hands.
11 Then He said to me, “Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel. Behold, they say, ‘Our bones are dried up and our hope is lost. We are completely cut off.’ 12 Therefore prophesy and say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord God, “Behold, I will open your graves and make you come up out of your graves, My people; and I will bring you [back home] to the land of Israel. 13 Then you will know [with confidence] that I am the Lord, when I have opened your graves and made you come up out of your graves, My people. 14 I will put My [b]Spirit in you and you will come to life, and I will place you in your own land. Then you will know that I the Lord have spoken, and fulfilled it,” says the Lord.’”
Reading and studying the Bible is speaking God s word it is prophesying again and again what God said, when one applies themself to a lifestyle of reading and studying one becomes very familiar with scripture, their ability to hear the voice of God and discern properly what others speak is very high. For someone to be responsible for what a prophet says we are all responsible for what God speaks
