Summary: A sermon on attitudes that hinder true restoration and on three things that were restored in the valley of dry bones.

The more we turn away from sin, the more fresh anointing is released into our lives (Hebrews 1:9).

Apart from sin, when we don’t use the gifts God has deposited in us, the anointing we have received starts to go stale. Dormant, unused, untapped, underutilized gifts of the Holy Spirit leads to spiritual dryness. It makes you operate with a stale anointing. Water in a pond that doesn’t flow out, that just remains on one spot can become stale. What God has deposited in you must be continuously flowing out to bless others so you don’t become stale, so you are not gradually drying up.

Bones that have dried up because of sin, bones that have dried up as a result of not stirring up and using the gift God had put in them, need the fresh breath of the Holy Spirit to enter into them so that they can come back to life, so that their freshness can be restored (Ezekiel 37:5-6). They need the mighty rushing wind of the Holy Spirit to be released on them so they can rise again, so they can regain their freshness (Ezekiel 37:9).

Everything about you needs the breath of God to live, to be sustained, to make it. Psalm 104:29-30 makes us understand how important the breath of God is. Whatever does not have the breath of God dries up. Even when the bones in the valley had come back together and flesh had covered the bones, they still were not living. It wasn't until the breath of God entered them that they came back to life. Get ready to call on God today like never before to breathe on every area of your life so that you will live and not die, so that you will be sustained, so that you can make it, so that you will not wither and dry up.

Today the fresh breath of the Holy Spirit will be released on you. The wind of the Holy Spirit will blow on your life and blow out those sins and bad habits that are drying up the anointing of God in your life. This was what happened to the dry bones. As the wind of the Holy Spirit was blowing on them, it was carrying away all those sins that had weakened and dried them up. The wind of the Holy Spirit will also blow on and revive all those buried gifts, skills and potentials in your life and you will come alive, you will arise with fresh power and anointing.

Conclusion

In conclusion, our lives can be likened to a cup. A cup can be so full of water that the water spills over and overflows. David spoke about his cup running over (Psalm 23:5). A cup can also lack even a drop of water. It can be empty and dry. Those dry bones were empty and dry. What is your condition today? Is there a fresh anointing of the Holy Spirit running over in your life? Is your cup; your life full of the fresh power of the Holy Spirit? Or is your cup; your life empty and dry? Your cup; your life, your business, your marriage, your ministry may be empty and dry, that may be the condition you came here, the condition you have been in for a very long time, but you don’t need to go back empty and dry. You don’t need to remain in the valley of dry bones.
