=== Prophesy to the Bones (03:42) ===

[00:00:00]  Tell us about Ezekiel, Ezekiel, and the four winds.
[00:00:05]  Yeah, you know.
[00:00:06]  What does each wind mean?
[00:00:08]  This is a part that I also put in this book, Ezekiel 37.
[00:00:11]  Every believer probably knows this passage where God drops Ezekiel down in a valley that's full of dry bones.
[00:00:19]  And he says to him, Can these bones live?
[00:00:22]  And Ezekiel says, Well, Lord, you know whether they can live or not.
[00:00:27]  But then he says to him, Prophesy to the bones.
[00:00:30]  I believe this is significant for us because there are many dead situations that people are going to be facing in life.
[00:00:36]  And you're going to need to know how to use the prophetic authority that God has placed in you to speak life into dead bones, into dry bones.
[00:00:45]  And so he says, Prophesy to the bones.
[00:00:47]  And the Bible says that the bones came together, but there was no life in the bones.
[00:00:52]  So then he says, Prophesy to the breath or the wind.
[00:00:56]  Speak to the wind.
[00:00:57]  I think in the body of Christ, we can often prophesy to the thing that we're looking at, but we miss this key, which is prophesying to the winds.
[00:01:07]  And it is the wind of God, the breath of God that brings life into us.
[00:01:12]  And so there are four prophetic winds in scripture.
[00:01:15]  And I'll give you the quick meaning of them.
[00:01:17]  Number one, the north wind.
[00:01:19]  In Hebrew, north wind means resources.
[00:01:22]  It means precious goods, metals.
[00:01:25]  It also deals with supernatural provision.
[00:01:28]  And we're going to need that.
[00:01:30]  We're going to need that.
[00:01:31]  We need that now more than ever.
[00:01:32]  Yes.
[00:01:33]  And so when you're in one of those situations where you need the provision of God, not only do you ask him for the provision, but then there is a level in prayer where you decree, you command, and you speak.
[00:01:44]  And you can call for the north wind to begin to blow in your life to bring resources and finances into your life.
[00:01:52]  And then there's the south wind.
[00:01:54]  And that comes from a Hebrew word that means territory.
[00:01:57]  It literally means territory direction.
[00:02:00]  And it deals with your territory expanding, meaning that you're going to gain ground in the years ahead.
[00:02:07]  And so when we call for the south wind, we're decreeing that God's giving us new territory.
[00:02:13]  That's in the natural and it deals with spiritual rulership or jurisdiction.
[00:02:17]  And then there is the east wind.
[00:02:21]  And I wrote about all of this in more detail in the book, guys.
[00:02:25]  It's right here.
[00:02:26]  It's easy to talk.
[00:02:27]  And I love how you go to the Hebrew and explain exactly.
[00:02:30]  Okay, so the East Wind.
[00:02:32]  So the East Wind means in Hebrew to meet or connect.
[00:02:36]  And it deals with divine connections, the Lord bringing you to the right people.
[00:02:41]  And I believe that's so key right now because there are many people that have been praying and they've been asking the Lord, who should I be connected to?
[00:02:49]  And when we call for the wind or the ruach of God to come into our lives, what I believe he does when he breathes into us is he's releasing the right people in your life for the right time.
[00:03:00]  And it deals with those that were hidden coming to the forefront.
[00:03:04]  So it also represents a change in rank and position for you, meaning elevation in your life.
[00:03:11]  And then the last wind there, the west wind, is one of my favorite.
[00:03:15]  When you read this in the Hebrew language, it means to roar or a mighty river.
[00:03:22]  And it deals with the sea of people.
[00:03:25]  But the sea in scripture can also represent the depth of knowledge and revelation.
[00:03:30]  And when we call for the west wind to come, it's speaking of the knowledge of God.
[00:03:35]  It's speaking of the glory of the Lord that will cover the earth.
[00:03:39]  And that's what we need to begin to do is call for the four winds to blow.
