Can You Be Used By God? NKJV



Ezekiel 37:1-14 The hand of the Lord came upon me and brought me out in the Spirit of the Lord, and set me down in the midst of the valley; and it was full of bones.


Then He caused me to pass by them all around, and behold, there were very many in the open valley; and indeed they were very dry.


And He said to me, "Son of man, can these bones live?" So I answered, "O Lord God, You know."


Again 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; "Surely I will cause breath to enter into you, and you shall live.


"I will put sinews on you and bring flesh upon you, cover you with skin and put breath in you, and you shall live, Then you shall know that I am the Lord."


So I prophesied as I was commanded; and as I prophesied, there was a noise, and suddenly a rattling; and the bones came together; bone to bone.


Indeed, as I looked, the sinews and the flesh came upon them, and the skin covered them over; but there was no breath in them.


Also He said to me, 'Prophesy to the breath, prophesy, son of man, and say to the breath, Thus says the Lord God; "Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe on these slain, that they may live."


So I prophesied as he commanded me, and breath came into them, and they lived, and stood upon their feet, an exceedingly great army.


Then He said to me, "Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel, They indeed say, 'Our bones are dry, our hope is lost, and we ourselves are cut off!"


"Therefore prophesy and say to them, 'Thus says the Lord God; "Behold, O My people, I will open your graves and cause you to come up from the graves, and bring you into the land of Israel.


"Then you shall know that I am the Lord, when I have opened your graves. O My people, and brought you up from the graves.


"I will put My Spirit in you, and you shall live, and I will place you in your own land. Then you shall know that I, the Lord, have spoken it and performed it," says the Lord."


Joel 2:21-27 Fear not, O land; Be glad and rejoice, For the Lord has done marvelous things!


Do not be afraid, you beasts of the field; For the open pastures are springing up, And the tree bears its fruit; The fig tree and the vine yield their strength.


Be glad then, you children of Zion, And rejoice in the Lord your God; For He has given you the former rain faithfully. And He will cause the rain to come down for you--The former rain, And the later rain in the first month.


The threshing floors shall be full of wheat, And the vats shall overflow with new wine and oil.


"So I will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten, The crawling locust, The consuming locust, and the chewing locust, My great army which I sent among you.


You shall eat in plenty and be satisfied, And praise the name of the Lord your God.  Who has dealt wondrously with you; And My people shall never be put to shame.


Then you shall know that I am in the midst of Israel; I am the Lord your God And there is no other, My people shall never be put to shame.


Joel 3:12-21 "Let the nations be wakened, and come up to the Valley of Jehoshaphat; For there I will sit to judge all the surrounding nations.


Put in the sickle, for the harvest is ripe, Come, go down,; For the winepress is full, The vats overflow-- For their wickedness is great."


Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision! For the day of the Lord is near in the valley of decision.


The sun and moon will grow dark, And the stars will diminish their brightness.


The Lord also will  roar from Zion, And utter His voice from Jerusalem; The heavens and earth will shake, But the Lord will be a shelter for His people, And the strength of the children of Israel.


"So you shall know that I am the Lord your God, Dwelling in Zion My holy mountain. Then Jerusalem shall be holy; And no aliens shall ever pass through her again."


And it will come to pass in that day That the mountains shall drop with new wine, The hills shall shall flow with milk, And all the brooks of Judah shall be flooded with water; A fountain shall flow from the house of the Lord And water the Valley of Acacias.


'Egypt shall be a desolation, And Edom a desolate wilderness, Because of violence against the people of Judah, For they have shed innocent blood in their land.


But Judah shall abide forever, and Jerusalem from generation to generation.


For I will acquit them of the guilt of bloodshed, whom I had not acquitted; For the Lord dwells in Zion."
