The night’s message was ushered in by the rich tones of the Eternity Singers’ song, ‘He Still Speaks’. With such a topic, one could expect eerie music and eye-popping revelations about the spirit world however, that was not the focus of the man of God, who quickly laid to rest the fears of anyone who had such an expectation.

His opening text, Ezekiel 37:1 -7 indicated to Bible scholars that his focus would be on Ezekiel’s valley of dry bones which is made popular even in song. He likened the dry bones to individuals who are dead in trespasses and sin and extended the invitation to have God release His wind on them in order for their life to be restored. Scriptural references were use to support the analogy (Ephesians 2: 1&2, John 5:21, Romans 4:17 and 2 Corinthians 1:9)

The similarity of Lazarus’ raising from the dead and what is needed by those dead in trespasses and sin were highlighted:

-The stone had to be rolled away – Some things have to be given up

-The grave clothes had to be removed – Memories of the past must be released.
